"In my realm it means the person would have no shelter, no recourse, no support whatsoever... not from friend... not from kin... not from anyone... and if the crime is large enough, they would be marked for death by who ever found them should they chose to linger.... It is a serious offense and the same in many other realms as well... Is it not the same in yours?" asks Paladine out of confusion.

*Kero nods*
To one whom I have marked as such, Yes....but it holds an additional penalty...what is the one thing that can chain me, no matter what I do, father?

Paladine closes his eyes and thinks for a bit. "You cannot tell a lie."

*Kero nods*
Close...I can actually lie by telling part truths.... but whaty is the one thing I cannot ever do...what binds me more than aught else in the universe...

**sorry, kiddo... don't think you ever told Paladine that information.... and unless you want a game of twenty questions with e leading him around by the nose so he eventually gets it... ye might want to drop him some hints...**
Paladine sighs. "Your honor..." he asks shrugging. "Kerobian, do we have time for this?" he begs worriedly.

*Kero nods*
My spies tell me we do...and it's my oaths, Father...I am bound by what I swear to do...I cannot break them...unless formally released by the one I have sworn to...well...by naming her oathbreaker, all oaths sworn to her by me or any other Voidmage are null and, well, Void...

Paladine nods. "I see... you are honor bound by more than mere words it seems."

*Kero nods*
Yes...but not to an oathbreaker...all oaths to one are null....and the strictures I cast with my earlier oath have loosened, though if I find her alone in some dark passage of my realm....

Paladine shakes his head. "Kerobian do not lower yourself to her level. Remember what I said ere you strike that blow. Think twice... nay think a million times over before you do to her what she has done to your kin. Don'r repeat her mistake. Rise above it. "

*Kero shrugs*
I don't know whether I would end her or not...the number of times she's sought to do it to me, I'm justified...but I'd rather not do it...

Paladine nods, relieved. "I have never truly understood her... for one so dedicated to life, she has one fixated obsession with the dead. True, most undead do indeed need to be laid to rest... but I think she goes a bit overboard if you ask me."

*Kero laughs bitterly*
Given the number of times she's tried to lay me to rest...I hope you'll forgive me if I don't follow her philosophy...I had work to do...still do...and I can't have some high and mighty goddess playing all-ruler while I do it...though now, she won't be able to do anything, the traitor...and may the fleas of a thousand camels infest her armpits...

Paladine sighs, "You and me both. Now... let's get back to business. How do you propose to enter the shadowed realm without my sister catching on that you are there? If she learns too soon, she'll just withdraw her captives, moving them elsewhere."

*Kero chuckles*
Simple...decoys....I tend to work like a sting operation...a series of cloaked decoys headed for various targets, one of which is me...but my wraiths and wyverns need no guidance...and like me, they cannot be harmed by magic...so my plan is to cloak about three dozen simulacra of myself...but have them all be decoys...my contingent of wyverns and wraiths, while my aunt is distracted, will swoop in and gather all the dragonlings...and bring them to hybran isle...a small shard in the center of the Void...uninhabited...only accesible to Voidic creatures...and those I escort knowingly...we'll quarantine them there...and I'll heal those I can...and if I can't, you have my oath, thrice given, that I will send them straight to paradise...no questions asked...any youngling used so deserves such a reward for their torment in life...

"My people will not like this. Already they are chafing at the bit, wanting to storm the Dark One's stronghold." says the small ruby dragon with a worried frown. Mutters and grumbling encircles the council, causing Kerobian to realize he is not merely dealing with his foster sire but a number of dargon entities, all of whom have a grudge with Takhisis.
