Sara had to take a moment to think of a good way to explain what a Lich was before she did anything. Bulma already had someone working on cleaning up the water in the gravity room as she got breakfast ready. Bulla just kicks her legs as she listened to this as well. Sara felt her ears lower a bit as she lets out a low cough. "It's not the most pleasant thing to think about, but to best explain it, I need to explain what a Lich is..." Vegeta grabs a seat as he leans back, keeping his arms on his chest as he waits. "Basically, it's what happens when someone like myself, uses magic to keep themselves alive longer than what's intended."
She holds her arms out as she speaks. "As you can imagine humans are mostly the ones to fall victim to this, what most wizards will do is as they get older, they start to use their magic to keep themselves alive. They soon start to rely less on things like food to keep alive, and as time goes by, it has an effect on the persons body, you know, decomposing, because they are more or less killing themselves for this...." Trunks shudders at the thought and even Vegeta looked a bit unnerved by all this. "But the more they lose, the more power they gain from not needing things like muscle, blood, origins, what little is left of their humanity." She lowers her arms as she takes a seat next to Trunks. "The longer they are allowed to accumulate this power, the stronger they become."
She takes a slow breath for the next part. "The demi-lich is a form that allows the lich to detach from it's body and simply become a floating skull." She holds out her hand to stop from any questions so she could continue. "Now I know just what you're thinking, wouldn't it be weaker, no. Gods no, it makes it stronger, it becomes immune to any weapon that isn't powerfully enchanted, it moves much faster, and like I said it's magic is extremely dangerous...so yeah..." Trunks just sat there, mouth hanging open. "Did..you run into one?" "Yeah...it was hiding in the graveyard while we were looking for a vampire...we were not prepared for that fight...oh my gosh...I still don't know how we got away..."
She shakes her head as someone else enters the kitchen. It was Goku, he had more or less only showed up because he thought Lord Beerus was still there. He heard a good chunk of her story when he decided to just pop in. "I want to fight one!" She lets out a yip as she jumps and falls off her chair. Trunks was quick to catch her and sighs. "Do you always have to scare people?" Vegeta frowns a bit as he gets up, already knowing why Goku had showed up. "Honestly Kakarrot you almost gave the girl a heart attack." She slowly gets up, thanking Trunks before looking at the new guest.
Goku was, tall, taller than she was with crazy spiked dark hair and a outfit she had never seen before. "I'm okay, he just surprised me." Goku just smiles as he holds out his hand. "I'm Goku, it's nice to met you." She cocks her head to the side. "But Vegeta called you Kakarrot, you have two names?" Vegeta lets out an irritated sound as he crosses his arms. "Kakarrot is his Saiyan name, Goku is the name given to him when he landed on Earth." Her eyes light up as she nods. "Oh I get it, keeping in touch with the culture you came from and such, think I'll stick with Goku, it's easier to remember." She laughs as she shakes the guys hand. "I'm Sara."
The guy seemed a bit aloof, but after years of traveling with Minsc, she was more than used to this. At least the guy wasn't talking to a hamster. "I've never seen you before, are you visiting?" "I travel, I've never really liked sitting still for long you know?" He grins at that and nods. "Yeah traveling is great, I used to do that before I got married..." He turns his head to look behind him. "Speaking of which, Goten was behind me..." It wasn't long before the young man walked in. He was a few inches shorter, wore a white t-shirt, dark pants, and his hair was in a similar style as his fathers. "I'm right here, couldn't wait five minutes for me to catch up?"
Goku just chuckles as he rubs the back of his head as Trunks gets up to greet his oldest friend. The two had known one another since they were old enough to walk. As far as Trunks cared Goten was, and would always be like a younger brother to him as he gives his friend a playful punch to the arm. Bulma just shakes her head at the two of them. "Well you might as well join for breakfast, I'm so glad I keep so much extra food in this house now." Breakfast was, messy, Saiyans really did have one hell of an appetite as Sara had to sneak in to try and get something to eat. She soon had to move closer to Bulma.
"I'm surprised you haven't lost a arm to them." Bulma giggles softly as Bulla helps herself, still kicking her legs. "You get used to it, I've known Goku since I was sixteen, so I've had years to get used to how much he eats, let alone how much my husband eats." Sara nods as she helped herself to anything she could get her hands on. "Thank you again for letting me stay, I do appreciate it." Bulma gives her a kind smile and places a hand on her arm. "Oh think nothing of it, I can't imagine how much different this is compared to what you're used to." "It's rather interesting, to see just how different your technology is, I mean the most I have lighting my house are candles, you got switches that just do it for you." Bulma just chuckles again as she just sits back with their guest.
After breakfast Goten moved close to Trunks, giving him a playful nudge. "So who's the girl?" Trunks lets out a deep sigh as he gave his friend another punch to the arm. "A visitor, even Whis knew who she was, from what's she's told us and from Whis told us she comes from a different Universe than ours." Goten blinks as his dark eyes light up. Just like his father it was rather easy to impress the guy. "Really, that's so cool..what's you're home like?" Sara gives it some thought as she wags her tail. "Oh, Cyrodiil, it's a fairly large place, it has a few small towns, but it has a few larger cities, not much though." Her ears flick as she thinks about it more.
"There's a lot to explore though, between all the abandoned mines, the shrines, what's left of the Oblivion gates, and of course all the Ayleid Ruins...not much are really known about them, but they always hide something interesting, including the actional Lich." Goten could hardly sit still as she talked about all this, but something in the back of Trunks' mind had been nagging at him. "So how do you know how that works, is it because you use magic yourself?" She gives him a sad look. "Oh I have seen many a fellow colleague fall victim to the idea of eternal life as an undead monster, so we try to tell other's what they are in for to keep them from following the same path." Trunks could only shake his head, unable to figure out why anyone would do that to themselves.
She holds her arms out as she speaks. "As you can imagine humans are mostly the ones to fall victim to this, what most wizards will do is as they get older, they start to use their magic to keep themselves alive.
