Universal Language Part 1

After the encounter with Eliot ended Desmond made his way to the spot his friends agreed to meet each other at. Late Desmond hurried to the location as fast as he could on the way there he had to stop to catch his breath multiple times. All because of the physical enhancement spell he cast on himself. Boosting a persons strength is not without consequences the same goes for many other spells.

Hurrying with all he had Desmond ran into Lance who was late just like him. Desmond ran up next to him and said, "Late to a friends celebration it being small or not thats quite rude you know".

Lance turned to his left and saw Desmond running next to him then replied, "haven't you ever heard of being fashionably late if I get there to early then I would look like a loser".

"Well then I guess I'm going to be fashionably late as well then".

Lance with a smirk on his face said, "you can't be fashionably late to your own get together".

Desmond replied, "If I can't then I guess I'll just have to start a new trend".

Both Lance and Desmond started to have a good laugh at there situation and very soon they met up with the rest of their friends. Who where both annoyed by how long Lance and Desmond had them wait.

Desmond and lance both apologized to the rest of the group, everyone was about to go to the bar when Lance stopped everyone.

"Wait a little while longer don't you guys remember that friend you said I could invited along."

Roy and everyone else scratched there heads trying to remember who Lance was talking about.

"Come on didn't you guys listen to me when I said I wanted to bring along a friend I made at work. His name is Eliot he is a bit weird and likes the color purple a little to much everyday he has something on with that color, but he is an interesting guy. He was some kind of explorer the places he said he been to and the things he fought were so strange he must have spent a lot of time in the Defiled Lands".

Desmond listened to who Lance was describing and felt like he knew exactly who Lance was talking about. "Lance by any chance could the full name of the person your talking about be Eliot Row?".

Lance looked towards Desmond "Ya, you know him too"

Desmond Waved his hand dismissing that notion "no its just that I accidentally ran into him a little while back and I don't think he is going to come. He apparently had some kind of last minute business to handle".

"What I went through so much trouble to get him to agree to" Lance visibly disappointed let everyone continue to the bar.

...

A few blocks away on top of a 5 story tall building was Eliot Row he was observing Desmond and his friends from a distance.

"What a small world this is we weren't even separated that long yet here we meet again.

Eliot looked at the group closer and was intrigued by what he saw, "Oh ... what do we have here those eyes that smile how fake they all are it reminds me of myself a long time ago. Coming here wasn't without reward, Lance my boy you trully have some interesting friends".

While closing his eyes and basking in the sun's rays Eliot spoke once more, "you don't have to keep watching me you know. I haven't done anything to warrant suspicion nor do I hold any ill will towards anyone here. So, is hiding in the shadows really necessary".

Eliot was completely alone on the roof from anyone elses perspective it would lok like he was talking to himself.

Receiving no reply Eliot said, "Fine then stay where you are I don't care" then he jumped off the building and left. Leaving only the shadows that bent and twisted in the light.
