Issachar's reformation. (private with Random Saiko)

[Dark Hooves]

Issachar reaches to outskirts and looks around. A tent? He walks over to the tent.

[Randam Saiko]

Saiko saw Issachar approach and that he was about to pass between 2 carved trees with 3 marks going down vertically. Saiko gallops with haste and screams, "Stop!" trying to stop him from triggering his trap.

[Dark Hooves]

Issachar stops. Oh, hi Saiko. How are you?

[Randam Saiko]

Saiko stops right at the 2 carved trees. "I'm doing great. Listen, don't take another step or these trees will snare and chop you into little bite size pieces," he said as if it was normal thing. He then proceeded to begin scratching various parts of the carvings.

[Dark Hooves]

No offense, but do you realize who I am?

[Randam Saiko]

"Yea...you're Issachar, lord of the underworld or something," he nonchalantly replied scrapping the trees.

[Dark Hooves]

Close, I am the god of darkness. You helped me see the error in my ways. I came here to thank you personally. Most ponies would turn and run.

[Randam Saiko]

"Well in that case, I'm not most ponies then. What was that term that ring master used?....'crazy!' Yea, 'crazy!' Heck, you accidentally steal the show and he tries to kick you out of his tent," Saiko replied light-heartedly. He had just finished scratching out the carvings on the tree, thus disengaging the trap. "Alright, it should be safe to pass now."

[Dark Hooves]

Issachar walks closer. Interesting magic you used to control my dark mana.

[Randam Saiko]

"Hehe. Thanks. I specialize in black magic, exorcisms, voodoo rituals, and 'witch craft,' " he replied putting a mocking tone to the last term.

[Dark Hooves]

Mind you, I'm no demon, exorcisms won't work on me.

[Randam Saiko]

"Maybe not exorcisms, but some other forms of being removal may work. Curses, hexes, smoking (leaving them no choice but to evacuate), tearing, so many other methods," he ponderously returned.

[Dark Hooves]

I am at peace now, I believe there isn't any need for that.

[Randam Saiko]

"Oh, sorry I just got pulled in with the tide." He begins walking inside his tent and prompted Issachar to wait, "I'll make us something to drink. Sit down, relax."

[Dark Hooves]

Alrighty then. He sits and waits.

[Randam Saiko]

A mixture of sweet aromic scents and foul repulsive odors collided in the air. Saiko later returns carrying two ceramic cups filled with a moss green liquid. "Drink up!" he smiled.

[Dark Hooves]

Sniffs the air. What is the smell?

[Randam Saiko]

"That is the smell of blend B medicinal herb tea," he answered handing Issachar a cup. "Drink up, it may not taste the best, but it does job," Saiko said sipping his own cup. Despite the steam coming out, he drank it as if it was cold water. The taste of the tea was similar to bitter melon with sweet plum.

[Dark Hooves]

He drinks it and shudders at the bitter taste. What does this do by the way?

[Randam Saiko]

"It's chocked-full of caffeine. It will definitely keep you awake for the whole night," he answered happily.
