Darra (darrakristos): our mage is having, problems with her vision
Darra (darrakristos): this the daylight
Darra (darrakristos) watches the mage wishing Bahamut had left her with her healing powers, as the mage struggles with the railing
Darra (darrakristos) was reminded of the beautiful "Snow White" of legends when she looked at Pionia, her heart went out to her
Darra (darrakristos): I have friends who are drow they have the same problem , you are doing far better

Pionia Destiny: the many nights by the candle studying.. have hurt my eyes
Darra (darrakristos) nods in understanding

The Good Healer: Linwe Zifanwe the Red Magister

Aurora (aurora.carminucci) spots the person standing nearby
Zero (zerokristos) he tilts his head in greetings to the woman that stands there while he waits for the others he also looks at the sky and notices that the eagle has been following them
Darra (darrakristos) looks about for the noble eagle
Linwe (Linwe) arcs a brow "What be this trouncing about through the Wellspring?
Pionia Destiny: the heavy rain also makes it worst for her... she struggles to keep in the path
Linwe (Linwe) nods to Pionia whom she recognizes form teh Hall
Zero (zerokristos) lady aurora our mage is having issues we must proceed slowly
Darra (darrakristos) looks to the near blind mage and up at the woman on the house steps ,bowing to her continues on
Aurora (aurora.carminucci) nods impatiently, she is not used to the company of others
Pionia Destiny: slips on a rock and fells on the ground..dirt get to her face. Feels her anger growing within her.. she's so clumsy.
Darra (darrakristos) her eyes go wide and she reaches down one arm under hers and offers to help her upward handing her a bandage to wipe her face with
Aurora (aurora.carminucci) notices the mage's frialty for the first time
Linwe (Linwe): Do Pionia be ill?" she demands
Aurora (aurora.carminucci): "May i help you as well?"
Pionia Destiny: turns her face to the woman offering help... Thanks
Darra (darrakristos) she is, having problems with her vision My Lady, ~Darra bows~
Linwe (Linwe) approeacheds, assessing her aura as she walks
Zero (zerokristos) he turns around and gasps as the woman goes down , but his wife was already helping her as well as aurora " aye please do help he i assure you this will end very soon "
Pionia Destiny: getting back on her feet... all wet and cold.. and half blind..
Aurora (aurora.carminucci) walks up to Darra and offers her arm
Pionia Destiny: listens to a voice demanding to know her well being
Darra (darrakristos) takes her arm and holds it firmly
Linwe (Linwe) scowls at the oterhs"This woman be nae well..her spiurits are in ill humoir!"
Darra (darrakristos) looks back puzzled
Linwe (Linwe): Unless ye be a healer, release her and let me helkp herf, for she be a sister of the Ithryn Hall"
Darra (darrakristos) looks besiegingly, "Is there a cure ?"
Pionia Destiny: the voice sounds familiar to her but doesn't know who it belongs to
Linwe (Linwe): I duna know until I can ascertain the problem
Darra (darrakristos) nods
Zero (zerokristos) he nods to the woman that just came" she is not used to the light "
Darra (darrakristos): Zero, this Lady is of good standing among our people, perhaps, we should accept her help
Pionia Destiny: I am allright.. I will get well.. it's the rain it gets in my eyes..
Linwe (linwe.zifanwe): \/e walks up to Pionia and lays a gentle hand near to her skin, not touching but feeling her essence
Zero (zerokristos) aye indeed we should , please do help her anyway you can if you have something that will ease her we will apreciate it
Pionia Destiny: feels she's being a burden for the people she's supposed to help
Darra (darrakristos) being a Samurai, means honor, discipline and following orders, she stand still, holding Pionia's arm awaiting a decision patiently
Darra (darrakristos): No Pionia ou are not a burden
Pionia Destiny: listens to the steps approaching to her but sees only a blur of a person coming close to her
Darra (darrakristos): but I fear, you may be injured without help
Zero (zerokristos) indeed you are not , no one is left behind " he nods
Aurora (aurora.carminucci) scowls at the intrusion of the so-called healer, wondering if they will ever make it to Alasse Meadow as ordered
Linwe (Linwe) steps back. These people obviosuly do not know where they are or who she is
Zero (zerokristos) i already asked you to help , please do so there is something we must do "
Pionia Destiny: a wave of enegy burns her skin calming her anger
Linwe (Linwe): Know that ye have walked across the yard of the magister and of the Guardian of this Temple...go now...but take care of the acolyte for Ondine will look ill upon ye if ye do nae"
Linwe Zifanwe the Red Magister casts Kerradunath – ‘The End of Privation and Want’ and restores 30 points of food and stamina to all those in a small area.
Linwe Zifanwe the Red Magister casts Fhoeldin Durr – ‘The Thousandfold Way’ and restores 20 points of health to all those in a small area.
Darra (darrakristos) the dragoness nods in appreciation
Zero (zerokristos) we shall take very good care of her , do not worry " he nods and smiles
Darra (darrakristos) carefully tries to help Pionia
Linwe (Linwe) looks off "Best to be on eyr way"

Linwe (linwe.zifanwe) sings: Know that all love alive under her light shall know her blessing.
Pionia Destiny: bows her head to the good lady that helped her.. feels safe now and in peace.
Aurora (aurora.carminucci) wonders aloud about the strange magic she felt for the first time

Zero (zerokristos):  we wil just take it slower
Pionia Destiny: turns to the party...shaking her head..please..let's go on.. I don't want to delayed you in the mission
Darra (darrakristos) slowly leads her forward
Pionia Destiny: wonders if it is too far.. this place where they are headed..
Aurora (aurora.carminucci) takes her other arm to help

Three Headed Hydra

The Cow Eating Hydra

Darra (darrakristos): Stop
Aurora (aurora.carminucci) is startled to see a 3 headed dragon
Darra (darrakristos): its a Hydra !
Zero (zerokristos) get behind us my lady " zero draws his blade as he sees the 3 headed dragon " who are you ?'
Darra (darrakristos) pulls Pionia back
Aurora (aurora.carminucci) she draws her bow and fits an arrow
Darra (darrakristos) pulls her elven crafted Polearm and stand between Auror and Pionia
Pionia Destiny: steps back feeling the energy of the beast in front of them
Three Headed Hydra blinks and looks down at the woman in the blue dress, looking from one head to the other... "Me thinks the dinner bell just rang Alphonse."
Three Headed Hydra 's other head looks to another... "Agreed Stan"
Aurora (aurora.carminucci) moves to the left slightly to take a bead on the beast's heart
Zero (zerokristos) the samurai lowers his torso his hands gripping the jilt of his katana as his feet begins to widden the space between them . the samurai stands in front of the hydra w narrowed eyes he prepares for battle " i don't think you wil eat anyone "
Pionia Destiny: the energy doesn't seem to be friendly... fear growing...
Three Headed Hydra 's middle head speaks up... "Now now you both, maybe these ones are here peacefully hmmm?"
Darra (darrakristos) holds her hand up in the universal signal for hold on for a bit
Darra (darrakristos) whispers to Zero, perhaps this is what has happened to the cows
Three Headed Hydra 's middle head inquires: "Now what do you pinkskins want hereabouts?"
Pionia Destiny: breath deeply trying to keep cool.. there were no hydras in her scrolls..
Aurora (aurora.carminucci) holds her arrow and her words to see what the others will do
Darra (darrakristos) whispers to Zero, maybe an agreement could be reached, like offer a cow every so many days and this, Dragon could, protect the island ?
Three Headed Hydra 's right head ( Alphonse ) snorts... "Cows? Cow? What's a cow?"
Zero (zerokristos) the samurai eases his stance a bit and looks upon the hydra " a farmer claims that his cows dissapear when they come top pasture here " he nods to darra " know anything about it "
Darra (darrakristos) looks up with wide eyes surprised that she could be heard
Three Headed Hydra 's left head ( Stan ) chuckles
Pionia Destiny: feels safe in the company of the warriors... but looks into her pouch for her book of spells... a shield of protection should be in order if needed it
Three Headed Hydra 's middle head ( Reginald ) rolls his eyes at the other two and looks to the bipeds... "Now what is this all about hmmm?"
Aurora (aurora.carminucci) focuses intently on the strange creature, ready to respond with a shot if needed
Pionia Destiny: keeps quiet letting the leader do the talking..
Zero (zerokristos) like i said to your ..... other head ' he stops and thinks of his statement for a while and then proceeds " there is a situation with cows dissapearing everytime they come to pasture here , do you know anything about it ?"
Three Headed Hydra 's left and right heads nod in the negative while Reginald groans and says: "I knew this would happen, these two have been snatching cows when I wasn't looking."
Three Headed Hydra 's left head ( Stan ) snorts and quips... "We were not."
Aurora (aurora.carminucci) whispers to Zero" Perhaps we could relieve him of the errant heads?"
Darra (darrakristos) smiles at her and shakes her head no
Pionia Destiny: laughs quietly listening to the talking heads..
Darra (darrakristos) whispers if you cut the head seven more will grow in its place
Three Headed Hydra 's middle middle head ( Reginald ) sighs... "They just grow back, it's insufferable... this is what I have to deal with."
Darra (darrakristos) wishes Percy Jackson were here
Pionia Destiny: whisers to the ranger... nooo...it doesn't seem like a good idea.. they might argue but they are together
Aurora (aurora.carminucci) , astonished at Darra's whisper, bites her tongue
Three Headed Hydra 's right head ( Alphonse ) says: "I have a solution; lets eat these four and leave off the cows for a bit... maybe they will not be missed."
Darra (darrakristos) speaks slowly
Darra (darrakristos): Would you not prefer a constant supply
Darra (darrakristos): perhaps you could come to an agreement with the villagers
Pionia Destiny: steps back as she listens to the ugliest head talking..
Darra (darrakristos): a cow brought here to you, an offering if you , protect this area
Three Headed Hydra 's left head blinks at Darra... "Can we have a supply of villagers instead?"
Darra (darrakristos) shakes her head sadly
Darra (darrakristos): There is not as many villagers as their are cattle
Three Headed Hydra 's right head ( Alphonse ) snickers
Pionia Destiny: now, they are getting gready..
Zero (zerokristos) i dont think they will listen to reason my love " he draws his katana and looks at the hydra , for what you have done you must pay and for the answer  you just gave us that means you have no intention of stopping , you must be put down
Pionia Destiny: three heads.. four of us... nods..
Darra (darrakristos) whispers heatedly to Zero
Aurora (aurora.carminucci) steels herself for the possible result of Zero's words
Darra (darrakristos): maybe they should be given a chance to discuss the proposition
Three Headed Hydra 's middle head ( Alphonse ) makes a sour face... "Look it's not my fault these tow are moronic reptiles."
Darra (darrakristos): Lords Hydra, if you eat the villagers, you would have the cattle, but then they too would be gone
Darra (darrakristos): IF you leave the vilagers they can breed the cattle, and you will always have food
Darra (darrakristos): You would become well respected in the land
Darra (darrakristos): For keeping it safe
Darra (darrakristos): and then more people would just give you offerings,
Three Headed Hydra 's left head ( Stan ) blinks at Darra... "I don't understand."
Darra (darrakristos): Well, people, know how to make more cattle
Darra (darrakristos): if you eat them,
Darra (darrakristos): you will have the cattle
Darra (darrakristos): but you will eat them too
Darra (darrakristos): and your food will run out
Darra (darrakristos): IF the villagers are left alive
Darra (darrakristos): they can make more cattle
Darra (darrakristos): keeping you supplied
Three Headed Hydra 's left head ( Stan ) wrinkles his nose... "I still don't get it."
Darra (darrakristos): and anything that is here to harm the villagers who feed you, well, you would want to guard your supply
Pionia Destiny: feels energy drawing from the beats itself. the tips of her finger attracting the wave
Aurora (aurora.carminucci) impatiently wonders aloud why this thing would be worth even just the cattle offerings
Three Headed Hydra 's middle head ( Reginald ) rolls his eyes again... "Lady you are speaking to a rock, can't you see?"
Darra (darrakristos): I do not think you are a rock Reginald
Three Headed Hydra 's right head ( Alphonse ) looks to Reginald... "Stan was deprived of air in the womb it's true."
Darra (darrakristos) looks sad
Darra (darrakristos): That is a shame, so Stan would need the constant food perhaps more, do you look after Stan ?
Zero (zerokristos) there is no other way , the hydra is a danger to sylvhara . we must kill it
Three Headed Hydra 's middle head ( Reginald ) groans... "Death would be better than enduring this...."
Aurora (aurora.carminucci): "Darra, we have not consulted the farmers of the region as to whether they would be willing to give up their cattle to this beast!"
Darra (darrakristos) looked very sad upon hearing this, The Hydra had a right to live, as much as any other living being, she had hoped that a compromise would be reached
Three Headed Hydra 's left head ( Stan ) snorts... "I'm hungry, I want a monkey!"
 Darra (darrakristos): Should we fail in our mission they will lose their cattle regardless, however, by loosing one or two cattle per farmer, they are saving the rest from many other dangers
Darra (darrakristos): and this Hydra can handle most other forms of attackers
Darra (darrakristos): pirates included
Pionia Destiny: wonders if there monkeys in sylvhra.. haven't seen one... mmmm
Darra (darrakristos): so a bonus
Aurora (aurora.carminucci): "Then we must not fail"
Pionia Destiny: have you got any rope to tie those heads down.. whispers to the ranger..
Zero (zerokristos) prepare yourself , zero raises his sword and pounces towards the left head , raising his blade above his his objective to slash the left head completely decapitating it , if the blow lands
Darra (darrakristos) with a heavy heart, her polearm heavy in her hands she waits,
Aurora (aurora.carminucci): "noooooooooooooo not the head!!!!
Pionia Destiny: we could tie them down
Pionia Destiny: I coudl get a sleeping spell..
Pionia Destiny: I have one somewhere in the book.. rummages her pouch for her spell book
Darra (darrakristos) tosses a read of fire on the decapitated head
Darra (darrakristos) backs up giving herself room, a silver mist writhes round her slowly circling and going upward
Pionia Destiny: stop she shouts..
Pionia Destiny: don't kill him..
Pionia Destiny: he could be of benefit to the realm
Darra (darrakristos) as the mist goes upward it spirals quicker spinning faster, flashes of silver course out of the maelstrom
Three Headed Hydra 's middle head ( Reginald ) looks to Zero... "So you want to be the hero hmmm?" ....as Stan jerks back, the blow narrowly missing his nose. Alphonse responds in kind, sending a jet of black acid at the Samurai from his gaping maw.
Aurora (aurora.carminucci) looses an arrow at the beasts heart
Darra (darrakristos) the mist shimmers and falls like rain, the beads bouncing and disappearing into the ground, she readies her breath to use dragons fire on any severed head, and is ready to leap and pounce upon its back, her sharp talons ripping at the earth
Pionia Destiny: steps back out of the way of the dragon warrior
Zero (zerokristos) the samurai misses he lands and rools out of harms way narrowingly avoiding the acid that was tossed towards him , zero regains his footing few meters away and Analise the beast as he spots darra in her true form he grins and nods to her he then tells the other " only way to kill it is to sever its heads and burns he stomp
Pionia Destiny: turns to the leader..please.. don't kill it..
Aurora (aurora.carminucci) fits another arrow to her bow
Pionia Destiny: shakes her head... he'll be a great pet to sylvhara.. once we tame him.. of course.
Darra (darrakristos) whispers ,her voices a low growl, I have begged for another outcome, even the wise one wishes for death, I will do whatever the leader tells me
Zero (zerokristos) he responds to the mage " we have to the other heads are as irrational as door nobs they will keep taking cattle and afte that villagers if we dont act now their blood will be in our hands " he talks as he cirlcles around the beast to join the group
Darra (darrakristos) speaks louder to Zero, "IS there no other way ?"
Aurora (aurora.carminucci): (still waiting for the beast to respond to the first arrow))
Three Headed Hydra 's middle head ( Reginald ) snorts and frowns as an arrow embeds itself in his thick hide... "This is going to get nasty me thinks, you folks better run along and bring more than a sword and a puny drake the next time... this is FAR from over!" ...the beast would now slither into the lagoon, thinking to ready for the morrow's visitors.
Zero (zerokristos) no " he responds to darra " as he spots the hydra retreating " we lost it
Pionia Destiny: looks at the beast sink in the lagoon...

Realm: Sylvhara

Tales from the Light & Shadow Roleplay Group: Daza and Juni (2nd part)

Daza and Juni

Daza Portals to Alasse, taking the pixie Kaia with him....
 
      Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley) huffs as she lands on the other side of Daza's portal. She looks up at him with a frown on her face "I see you have your powers back." She focuses her energy allowing her glamour to fall, her body stretching so that she now stands tall in front of the mage, her head reaching his shoulder.

  Daza (daza.mistwalker) looks appreciatively and nods "Yes...more or less all of them are back....and I see you're not a permanent pixie"

  Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley) offers Daza a faint smile "I am fae, I appear as I want to be seen."

  Daza (daza.mistwalker) narrows his eyes "And just who ARE you? I am looking for Juni but instead I find this Kaia who has the acorn necklace that I gave her"

  Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley) gazes at Daza, her black eyes roaming his form as she looks upon his restored form. "I am Kaia....I am that half of your fae which she keeps hidden from the world. I am that half that comes out when there is nothing but survival left for her."

    Daza (daza.mistwalker) eyes the waterfall nearby, thinking "OH? And what if I don't believe you? You remember what Juni did to to a certain blonde elf when SHE tried to explain something similar?"

    Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley) nods, a soft smile appearing on her face "Aye, but, I have not changed my appearance....much. Those that know this fisage know who and what I was. You on the other hand, you were altered."

  Daza (daza.mistwalker): "Oh..but you have changed! And I know all about fae and their glamoury! You could be an imposter! Prove to me that Juni still yet resides within you...that you are not some foul possession that needs to be exorcized by a cleric!"

    Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley) arches a brow at Daza, her hand moving unerringly to her bow to stroke the smooth wood. She plucks at the string, the twang of the sinew snapping into place giving her comfort. "And what pray tell would you have me do or say to prove to you that I am indeed that fae?"

  Daza (daza.mistwalker) looks into her eyes, which appear entirely too dark and huffs. In some sort of maddened desperation to bring this to closure once and for all he reaches forward with his hands to grab ahold of the fae's neck

  Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley) gasps, her eyes widening in shock as her hands reach up to grasp Daza's wrists. She squeeks, as she flounders for a moment before her eyes narrow on the mage.She chokes out her words "Do you WANT me to fill you with arrows" she asks as tears fill her inky black eyes.

 Daza (daza.mistwalker) feels both the bracelet and the necklace flare with firey warmth and feels a jolt that courses to his bones and releases her suddenly as if he had been burnt and his eyes widen "JUNI! It IS you!"

  Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley) falls to the ground gasping for breath, tears burning her eyes as she clutches at her neck. She glances up at Daza and nods as she mummbles to herself "I deserve no less..."

  Daza (daza.mistwalker) reaches out instinctively with a hand to help her up, before a part of him warns, but he ignores that voice for the moment and is more puzzled almost as if he had hurt himself "I...I don't know what to say....you ...I was hoping...I mean..." *stammers* "I have been searching for my fae...for Juni...and I find..this...Kaia"

  Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley) grasps Daza's hand in hers allowing him to help her to stand. She brushes her self off, swallowing reflexively as her other hand reaches up to her throat. "I am that which has always been there, which has been kept hidden. Be my name Kaia Fea or Juni, I am of the Twyleth Teg....I am both light and dark. Do you not know your fae well enough to understand that?"

  Daza (daza.mistwalker) shifts and fidgets, scrunching his face in confusion for a bit, almost as he had done as Daizy not so long ago "Wellll...I knew Juni as being a bit fickle sometimes....I never thought of her as light or dark.....but certainly not as two different entities!"

    Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley) tilts her head and blinks slowly as she speaks, "the fickleness of a fae, especially one such as I, is oft times a tell tale sign of more."

  Daza (daza.mistwalker) tries to reconcile himself with this and looks into dark eyes and then shakes his head "Fickleness I know....Juni I know...this Kaia....I do not....SO! I wish to speak with Juni....is she in there or not?"

    Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley) raises her eyes towards the mage, a smile playing on her lips "All you need to do is look deeply, and you will find her"

  Daza (daza.mistwalker) lifts his chin, even though he is a good deal taller than he was just days a ago and then focuses for but a moment. "I KNOW she is in there! Why does she...you...hide behind this other visage? What must I do to have my fae back?"

  Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley) lifts her chin mimicking Daza "You did not loose your fae, but your fae became lost when she lost you. How would you go about proving you are not lost to her?"

􀀁

  Daza (daza.mistwalker) had been mulling over summoning his staff but instead blinks :ummm....I came for my fae...I earched and traversed realms and entered the dark lands of the Empress! I NEVER stopped caring and loving my fae....no matter where I was....no matter WHAT I was. I TRIED to be something I was not...even Artemis saw this....now it is time for you to see too." With this he reaches forth to softly caress her cheek before leaning in for a kiss. But this was no ordinary kiss, but a kiss of knowing, for as he kissed he willed his memories of the past weeks and moons into her. His feelings, his lostness, his trials, pains and even a few joys and triumphs.

  Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley) 's eyes widen in shock as Daza's lips touch hers. Her gasp lost upon his lips as the feelings he feeds her assault her senses. Her hands reach up to his shoulders and her fingers curl into his flesh as sher reels back and gasps into his lips. She pulls back, her eyes searching his, and as they move from one of his eyes to they other, they slowly shift in color back to the silver that he is familiar with. Only one word escapes her lips, and it is a softly uttered "Oh"

    Daza (daza.mistwalker) sighs momentarily. There is a reason why he no longer used this particular method, once a signature of many of his magiks. It always left him vulnerable. He looked into her eyes and saw "Juni? It's really you?...OH how I have MISSED you!"

  Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley) blinks up at Daza, confusion in her eyes "I didn't go anywhere...." her words drift off as she looks around before leaning into the mage, a soft sigh escaping her lips.

    Daza (daza.mistwalker) holds her close and nuzzles his nose into her hair"I don't want to lose you again...I don't want to be lost to you again"

    Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley) leans her head against his chest "then do what you need to do to ensure that does not happen."

  Daza (daza.mistwalker) waggles his brows before causing a mist to rise about them. To any onlooker, they would simply be gone when the mist cleared.

Roleplayers: Daza (daza.mistwalker), Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)

Light and Shadow Roleplay Group

This is a group Pionia belongs to.. a wonderful repository of stories and adventures of Roleplayers....

As we can read from its description... " The Light & Shadow Roleplay Group group is meant to be a channel for posting live and ongoing roleplay, either into group im or, photos and logs posted into notices to keep everyone updated on running, and ongoing RP storylines.
Live action RP is encouraged but, a limited amount of non-live is acceptable, in the form of letters and incidences of isolation.

The roleplay posted must be relevant to Sylvhara, Taure Ru, Island of Shadow, Sentinal, Vana, Wayrest, Menel-Dur, Uhre, Zolio, Fellowship of the 4th Age, Uhre"

This kind of group serves as a communication mean to let know roleplayers of stories happening in the different realms that make up the Great Alliance. The Great Alliance holds together different roleplayer realms in an intent to agree on rules to be better roleplayers and help each other learn from different communities. The Light & Shadow Roleplay Group has 1146 members. Joining is free.

Now, what does this group has taught Pionia about Roleplaying? .. Well, it has become a school of roleplaying... since she gets their notices. She can read and learn from excellent roleplayers. She can follow story lines and see how they develop and grow. Also the kind of exchanges.. how roleplayers hint their partners on what they mean and how partners follow and react to those hints.

Example of a notice

Members of the group share their roleplays by copying them into notecards, adding images and even artifacts to illustrate their stories. These little notes..or scrolls as Pio uses to call them, keep the memories of a community of passionated storytellers and a wonderful resource for the ones learning and exploring into roleplaying.

These live roleplay logs are full of contextual language. So learning how different characters from different races, realms, classes use the language is really easy. From now on Pio will be posting some intersteing exchanges and commenting on what's going on and how roleplayed is run in the many different scenarios.

So, keep posted for fun interesting stories.. :)

Tales from the Light & Shadow Roleplay Group: Daza and Juni

Daza finds Juni with the help of Jaide  (Part 1)

Reunited And It Faes So Good - RP involving Daza Mistwalker, Juniper Roxley, Jaide Nightifre, and several inhabitants of the IOS. Artemis has restored Daza to his natural state and has asked Jaide Nightfire to find his lost fae, Juni, on the Island of Shadows. As Daizy, Daza had searched for her through Vana's destruction and traced her here under the possible name of Kaia.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Jaide Nightfire enters the tavern about which he was told by Daza. He looks around casually but notes people and exits. he seems drunk when he walks in but is aware of everything. One slight stumble leads him into the bar. "I'll have whatever whiskey ye 'ave back there." He nods to the bartender upon getting his drink. "I'll take the bottle." he says and heads for a table, noting a small fae hovering about.
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)  walks over to the bar, her small head tilting up to the drunken stranger. She smiles, a mischevious glint in her eye before turning her gaze to the bar.
Elda (tosh.snook) walks up to the estbalishment, noticing the closed sign and debating on whether to barge in or not
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)  spreads her wings, lifting her small frame off the floor so that she is on eye level with the bartender. She winks at the woman, reaches in her pouch and pulls out a coin, flicking towards the woman as she nods to wards the barel of meade
Elda (tosh.snook) enters ignoring the sign and makes her way to the bar"brandy"
Jaide Nightfire turns back to the bartender "I'm wondering if you might be able to help me. I'm looking for a fae named Kaia. An old friend needs to see her."
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)  eyes the woman who entered, her ears perking when she hears her name. She slowly turns her head towards the stranger, her eyes narrowing as she looks at him. Her voice is soft as she speaks "And who might be seaking out the Kaia fae?"
Jaide Nightfire takes another shot from the bottle and turns to the fae next to him on the bar after eyeing the person that just enetered the tavern. He eyes the fae up and down "It's someone she want ta' be seein'" Elda (tosh.snook) places a coupel red gemeralds on the counter, and picks up her snifter of brandy, watching the other two converse
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   tilts her head, her eyes narrowing even more. "I might help ya find her for a price...but I would first be wanting to know who this seeker is." Turns her head towards the other woman, her dark eyes gleaming in the light as she offers her a small grin.
Elda (tosh.snook) makes only the smallest of nods and then sips her brandy, staring at the wall opposite her Jaide Nightfire knows he is in dark territory and not to trust anyone too quickly. The lycans here might take offense to him being here to begin with, given his affiliation with the shadow Claw pack. He eys the fae "it is someone that drew their goddess' ill favor. they became someone else and are back again." He thinks he must sound as drunk as he acted when he came in. he holds back a grin.
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   lands on the bar, her small frame barely making a sound. She arches a brow at the stranger as she tried to make sense of his words. Her brows straighten as she dons a mask of nonchalance and shrugs "Fine be it by me if you wish not to share, for sharing from me you shall not get. Perhaps you wish not to find the Kaia fae after all."
Jaide Nightfire starts to growl then quickly stifles it. "Do you know a woma..." ~he stops himself and corrects as the mage is no longer a woman~ "a man named Daza?"
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   blinks, her dark eyes growing luminous as she looks upon the stranger "Aye, I have heard of this once mage. I hear that he is no longer but something different."
Elda (tosh.snook) nods to the two strangers and makes her way back out
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   watches the woman leave then turns her attention back to the stranger. She holds out her hand. "I will have two gold shinnies from you before I continue."
Jaide Nightfire: aye, he WAS something different but the goddess took pitty on him after being persuaded by an archmage or 2 and restored him to his old self, well...a reformed self he said.
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   rops her hand, her request for shinnies forgotten as she gasps "You say the magie is now a magie again?" Her little brows furrow as she begins to pace the bar "I know you not, why should I believe your words be true?"
Jaide Nightfire thought the fae might be persuaded by shiny objects. He carried with him some freshly shined gemstones; nothing fancy but shiny indeed. He smiles and drops them into her hand. "Here ya go." He was glad he had asked someone familiar with fae before departing on his journey.
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)  looks down at the gems, her brows still furrowed as she thinks. She looks up, at the stranger and asks more bluntly and to the point. "Who are you, and how do you know what you know?"
Jaide Nightfire: can't you fae sense if someone is telling the truth or not? I am Jaide. I have no reason to lie to you. I was there and watched as the goddess transformed the woman into a man in front of my Thane and several other members of my pa...~he stops himself once again~ "my home land."
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   crosses her arms, her gaze level on Jaide as she speaks. "I am fae, which means I cannot lie. But it does not mean I can tell when someone else is or not....however..." she smiles mischeviously at him, her sharp teeth gleaming in the light "That does not mean I do not have my ways of finding out of someone is telling the truth or not."
Jaide Nightfire: how about if I share something with you? Something I should not being in these lands. Would that help? I did witness what I told you I did. To share what i have puts me at great risk. Would that make you feel better? You could come with me to my homeland and talk to the Thane, Freya. she will tell you.
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   's arms still folded across her chest, arches her brow at Jaide. "Though I know Freya, I know you not. If I go to visit the Thane, it will be only when I see fit. Now tell me....for I am not yet clear on what you have been saying...is it the Daza Mage who is seeking the Kaia fae?" 
Jaide Nightfire: yes, as I heard it he longs to see his fae as he put it. i think he misses her greatly. He spoke with love in his heart. I could smell it. ~he realizes what he said after he said it~
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   smiles sadly at Jaide as she nods her head "And she has missed him, thinking he all but lost to her." She tilts her head "Love has a smell to it?"
Jaide Nightfire arches a brow "it's hard to explain. Some of us can scent better than others." he grins. I could not lie about this to you or to Kaia since i mentioned Freya if it were not true. I am too close to Freya to bear false witness and use her name associated with it.
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)  smiles as she gleans what Jaide is not telling her "you are of the pack" she whispers "tis not a safe place for you to be. Now that you have shared....i shall share as well. You wish to know where Kaia is, I will tell you...."
Jaide Nightfire nods to the fae
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   smirks at Jaide before bowing low to the bartop. Her hand rotating in a flourish before her."You have found that which you seek."
Jaide Nightfire smiles and breathes a sigh of relief as not wanting to disappoint his thane or the mage. He lowers himself down to Kaia "I think you should acompany me to the Shadowlands when you are ready. I shouldn't spend too much time here now that i've found you."
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   tilts her head and nods "I will leave when the time is right for me to leave. Take a message to the mage that his fae is safe, and will seek him out soon."
Jaide Nightfire: I will do that. since I'm here we might as well have some drinks. Do fae even drink?
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   grins and nods "Aye, that we do...honey meade would be my drink of choice." Jaide Nightfire motions to the bartender "Honey meade for the lady." he pays the bartender, tossing a silver piece rather hastilly out of his hand. "that should cover us and any damages." He laughs
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   eyes the silver piece as it flips through the air. She watches the barmaid pour her a thimble full of meade and takes it gratefully from her fingers. She takes a sip, wiping the froth from her upper lip and lets out a belch before giggling. "Thank you for the drink, Jaide."
Jaide Nightfire: you are welcome. hopefully things will be more at peace with the two of you reunited.
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)  nods to Jaide before turning back to her drink. Sips at her meade, the drink filling her mouth before she swallows.
Daza (daza.mistwalker) swoops in and lands with a thud
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   hears a noise and turns her head searching for the source of the sound.
Jaide Nightfire turns quickly as he hears a thud. he sees Daza standing a few feet away.
Daza (daza.mistwalker) lets his eyes adjust to the lighting and looks around, having only been here a few times, and sees a familiar face at the bar "AH...Jaide! Any luck?"
Jaide Nightfire: it's funny you should ask ~he chuckles and looks at Kaia~
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)  stands quietly watching the mage. She holds her breath as she stands there, her dark eyes scanning the familiar visage of Daza.
Daza (daza.mistwalker) does not even see the small pixie on the bar but continues looking around, peering at one female who looks entirely too dark to be the pixie from what he saw....or his flies say
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   slowly lifts the timble to her lips and takes a few gulps of the amber liquid, her eyes never leaving Daza.  She hiccups.
Jaide Nightfire continues to drink then looks at Daza "Look closer"
Daza (daza.mistwalker) hadn't seen Jaides gaze at first, being somewhat accustomed to not be looking Enthro'mii in the eye and finally does turn around to the bar "Well...hmph..I thought I saw...." Blinks and looks at a pixie "You?"
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)  hiccups again and covers her mouth as she nods.
Daza (daza.mistwalker) 's eyes widen and steps closer, carefully wanting to be certain "You...Juni?"
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   sticks her tongue out at Daza before palming the almost empty thimble and throwing it at Daza "Here I am known by another name...here I am Kaia."
Daza (daza.mistwalker) looks over to Jaide and back again just in time to get bonked by the thimble "OW! Kaia?!? What on earth? Are you hiding from someone where you have to be disguised or kept secret?"
Jaide Nightfire: in these lands a few of us must keep our indentities hidden
Daza (daza.mistwalker) rubs his head where thereis a red mark
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   growls low "I did what needed doing so I could survive..."
Daza (daza.mistwalker) tilts his head "Vana...you managed to escape...were you hurt?" His concern over rides his annoyance at being struck in the head for the moment
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   looks down at her hands and whispers harshly "I survived...the pain at the loss of the hawthorne was...." shivers "I survived." she states again.
Jaide Nightfire thinks about the horrors of a land ravaged by fire and lava. Morrana collected many a sould from Vana ~he says as he drinks from his bottle~
Daza (daza.mistwalker) makes a bit of a face, wondering "Oh...a tree....yes. Well...we all had to do what we had to do to survive....and I see Jaide here was fortunate enough to track you down"
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   looks up at the mage "not just a tree Daz, it was a sappling from MY tree....from..." she bites her lip as her eyes dart to Jaide, not wanting to say too much out loud.
Daza (daza.mistwalker) paces around ineasily "Why HERE of all places? why would you come here instead of...I don't know...Alasse, Sylvhara....even across the river with the Enthro'mii...why here?" 
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)  looks back at Daza through her lashes, her black eyes glinting in the light. "why here? if you but look, you might see that I am not now the fae you think me to be."
Daza (daza.mistwalker) squints a bit, trying to look into her little beady black eyes "Hmmm....well Linwe said you were somehow darkened and twisted....what HAPPENED?"
Jaide Nightfire mumbles "she doesn't seem that twisted."
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)  turns her head towards Jaide and smiles showing a row of sharp little teeth. "Why thank you, Jaide!" She turns back to Daza the smile still on her face, but not reaching her eyes "my mate was dead and my home was gone...this..."she gesturest o herself "is what came naturally to me in order to survive that"
Daza (daza.mistwalker) frowns "Your mate was NOT dead! And...I'm right HERE! I've been looking all over you!"
Johnnie Winterwolf lets out a howl trying to find his Ameera
Montana (montana.brianna) lets out a howl leading her Sha to her.
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)  spreads her wings, lifting herself off the bar and gets in Daza's face "And how was I supposed to know that?!"
Daza (daza.mistwalker) points to Jaide "Well...I sent HIM...And didn't you talk to Zos and Rhianne? THEY believed me when I told them who I was!"
Jaide Nightfire: aye this is definitely the man that was a woman when we met. There can't be too many of those running around.
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   reaches her small hand out, finger extended with the intent of poking Daza in the nose a few times "I am fae, I am a trickster when need be. therefore I look for the tricks in that which happens around me. I do not readily beleive in things such as magies becomig weeeeeee little girl elfs!"
Jaide Nightfire hears the howl of wolves outside. he recognizes one of them from his travels here a few nights ago. they seemed willing to let him pass but knows there are others not so forgiving here.
Jaide Nightfire grins "and a pretty elf she was" He swigs from his bottle again. he growls low at the bartender when he tries to take it from him
Daza (daza.mistwalker) blinks and backs up after the first poke, and shoots a glare at Jaide, remembering his lascivious looks before looking back at the pixie, trying to come to grips with ...whoever this person was and looks a bit crestfallen "Sooo....you aren;t glad...to see me?"
Ahnu squeezes his way in, tucking his wings Parzival Von Hamborg (sirsprocket) lands on the balcony and makes his way in, kneeling before his Empress.
Ahnu: Greetings your Imperial Majesty
Ahnu bows his head respectfully, turning his glance over to the small group at the bar and nods a greeting Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   gets momentarily distracted by the dragon before turning her gaze back to Daza and frowns "your makign assumptions that I am not."
Parzival Von Hamborg (sirsprocket) notices his Empress is distracted and rises. He gives a casual glance to the others at the bar.
Lexie Lukas gazes upon the DArk Templar "Sir Parzival.. please rise, and good evening to you" Turning to the ones who stand near the bar, the Dark Empress smiles 'good evening guests"
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)  turns her gaze to the Empress and waggles her fingers in Lexie's direction, "greetins Empress"
Lexie Lukas smiles without turning toward the dragon behind her " Lord Ahnu.. your hot breath has been missed these last weeks" Her voice holds a formality yet warmth for the Lord Preceptor
Daza (daza.mistwalker) looks over and first notices the big dragon waddle and follows the conversation and the eyes to the Empress. He clenches his jaw and nods and then looks back at her "Welll....I searched you out...found you and you welcome me by throwing a thimble at me, poking me and....welll...just not seeming very glad to see me"
Jaide Nightfire turns to the ones entering the tavern. He nods to them in greeting being glad his scent is masked as an alpha his age would do. he is also glad he wore boots instead of his usual feet in pawed form. Ahnu: It is good to be home again, majesty. I trust the rest of my Order did their duty and took my place as guard in my absence
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   keeps her arms crossed across her chest, one hand idly reaching up and toying with the acorn upon her chest as she levels her gaze at Daza "I see not what one has to do with the other."
Jaide Nightfire hears Kaia refer to one as Empress. He takes another swig out of the bottle and watches the crowd for a moment. Not only is he in dark territory but is a few meters away from their queen.
Lexie Lukas: Noticing that she recognizes the pixie first, then the mage from some time long ago she speaks "Kaia, and Mage Daza.. nice to see you" Her eyes crinkle a bit, at once wearing a bit of a perplexed demeanor.
Parzival Von Hamborg (sirsprocket): We did our best in your absence Lord Preceptor.
Ahnu blinks in recognition of the names and watches the group curiously. visibly more alert and on guard Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)  smiles at the Empress, and nods "as tis good to see you as well."
Parzival Von Hamborg (sirsprocket) tilts his head curiously at those gathered after his Empress addesses them.
Jaide Nightfire turns to Daza wanting to turn up the heat "You should speak as you spoke the night at the lupinar. you had suh compassion in your voice as you spoke of the small one here." ~he looks at Kaia~ "he really does miss you ya know."
Lexie Lukas listens to the man speaking, then turns her head not wishing to eavesdrop
Daza (daza.mistwalker) furrows his brow "Ummm....nice to see you, Empress.....I wish it were under less...confusing circumstances. Juni....erm.....Kaia....ummm...whatever you wish to be called.....I am here....I never stopped caring for you no matter where I was...no matter WHAT I was...I never stopped"
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   tilts her head at Daza, her brows furrowing as she becomes a bit uncomfortable with the discussion in front of a growign crowd. She flutters her wings and clears her throat, biding time before speaking. Her voice is low so that only Daza can hear "and you think that I have?'
Elda (tosh.snook) strides into the tavern, glancing about at the faces, studying them
Parzival Von Hamborg (sirsprocket): My Empress, did you receive my message the other night?
Ahnu spots another new comer enter and bows his head in greeting
Daza (daza.mistwalker) rubs his head where he was hit with a thimble "Ummmm....that isn't exactly a kiss you welcomed me with"
Lexie Lukas: A sudden flash of heat strikes the Empress.. her eyes move slowly toward the source
Parzival Von Hamborg (sirsprocket) follows her gaze and spots the newcomer, he bows his head in greetings.
Lexie Lukas: Turning back to Sir Parzival she asks "Which please?"
Elda (tosh.snook) approaches but stops a short distance away and nods slightly to each of them in turn Parzival Von Hamborg (sirsprocket): The letter I had a page deliver to you.
Daza (daza.mistwalker) feels the newcomer without even looking and quickly dispels his cloak, not wishing to start a ruckus
Ahnu: Greetings and welcome to the Godiva Tavern
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   rolls her eyes before fluttering close and laying a soft kiss on Daza's lips "Better?" She asks as she crosses her arms in front of her once more
Elda (tosh.snook) walks to the bar and drops some red gems upon"brandy"
Daza (daza.mistwalker) finally feels some warmth and smiles "YES...a bit better...a LOT better! I wish you would have done that right at first!"
Jaide Nightfire sees the kiss but cannot hear the fae speak to Daza which troubles him slightly but he knows they can do that sort of thing. his gaze moves to the empress for a few moments. he admires her beauty but turns before he accidentally disrespects royalty. He turns back one more time then looks around the room some more as people come and go.
Ahnu eyes trail after the stranger at the bar, watching curiously. His tail waves in the air behind him slowly Elda (tosh.snook) picks up her snifter of brandy and turns back to those in the hall, sipping
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)   lifts her chin in a haughty manner "YOU did not even notice me standing there or even recognize, yet you expect me to greet you with kisses??"
Lexie Lukas leans back in her chair, the comfort of the evening resting upon her as a comforting blanket.. her eyes close as she reaches through the ethers.. silently filling the voids near her with vibrations
Daza (daza.mistwalker): Well, yeah! It would have helped with the recognition tremendously!
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)  snorts and rolls her eyes.
Daza (daza.mistwalker) eyes the little acorns "Well...I see you at least kept SOME reminder of me"
Elda (tosh.snook) sips at her brandy quietly, hearing the small lover's quarral, and feeling a slight sense of power float by but then it fades
Lexie Lukas cocks her head to the charcoal skinned newcomer "Have you a story to tell of where you got your sword perchance.. or some other tale befitting our establishment ?" Her eyes glow momentarily as she notices the glowing heart
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)  follows Daza's line of sight and reaches up to play with the acorn once again. Elda (tosh.snook) appraoches the table having been addressed and says" the swords are a symbol of my race, and they are made by our own hands"
Lexie Lukas curls her lip, interested in the being. Reaching out a hand toward this one she offers" Please feel free to sit at the table if you so desire"
Ahnu leans froward slightly with interest "I hope you will not consider me rude for asking, but which race specifically do you mean?"
Lexie Lukas notes where the new one sits.. her eyes glass over with a quick look to sir Parzival
Elda (tosh.snook) sits quietly but with a purpose in her movements she stops sipping her brandy" the hospitlity here is warmer then then the ranger hall I foiund earlier"
Elda (tosh.snook) hears the dragon behind behind the seated woman, but address the one at the end of the table" I am elda, of the eastern kingdom, and I am a master of fire"
Lexie Lukas looks toward the new one "We look at ourselves as somewhat civil if it is worth our while, Master Elda"
Daza (daza.mistwalker) looks around the room and feels a bit uneasy with the growing crowd, though totally unwilling to be parted from his fae after so long. So he focuses and fixes himself upon that necklace, reaching out to touch it softly, sending some of his energy into them, recharging their enchantment just enough before fixing his mind mind and his will elsewhere
Ķαϊα Ŧєα (juniper.roxley)  looks at Daza's hand as it touches her necklace and then up at his eyes wondering what it is that he is doing. Her eyes widen in surprise as realization dawns on her and her lips part slightly
Elda (tosh.snook) takes another sip of her brandy and then sets it down looking at the woman " I seem to be at a disadvantage as to your group or to whom I address"
Lexie Lukas calms her soul to its deepest depths... slowly touching the air between she and the fire one in charged energies "I am Empress Lexie" she answers continuing to sample the aura, the student within her enjoying a new challenge
Daza (daza.mistwalker) fixes his will to a much warmer place ...Alassee....and begins to reach out to connect while at the same time he gives a wave to Jaide "Thank you so much Jaide, and Empress you're ever so gracious...but I think I'll be departing now....with my fae" He gives a bit of a grin before opening his portal and taking the little pixie with him"
Lexie Lukas: "Dark Paths to you "
Jaide Nightfire speaks without thinking in his drunken state "May Luna light your path." he realizes he might have let that slip a wee bit too loudly.
Lexie Lukas perks to an interesting farewell message.. the words familiar in meaning
Kaley Quintessa had scaled the wall not wishing to be seen. She stood now on the parapet listening, waiting. Her neck would tilt back and forth with movements as s snake.. She smirks having just left Montana knowing full well what the man below was now. Her features hidden mostly by her clothing in the shadows continued her watch.

ShadowDancer (bob.horton): Conversation with a Special Owl

All day long I am thinking about my last dream, the dream of falling out of the sky and how an owl saved me from death. I have to see this owl again, I have to learn about him, talk with him ask him the questions that burn in my gut. Long treks to places I think I might find it do not yield any result. Where does a great bird like that live? What does it do? What does it want with me?
After long day of searching I am weary and hungry. I think I missed what they call a pay day and have no coin in my purse. All I have is an apple. I eat that and look for a hospitable bush to spend the night under. I find an abandoned camp site, the embers are still alive, I fan them to life and warm my cold body at someone else's fire. I stare into the flames for a long time as sleep eludes me and listen to the night sounds of the forest. Finally I sleep... Soundlessly great wings glide though the air, the forest sounds cease as if all creatures know that something significant is taking place. I watch the shadow of the owl but I cannot see it yet. "Greetings from one Shadow to another", - I think.

Me:"Greetings Owl, are you one who saved me?"
Owl: "I am not only that owl I AM THE OWL!"
I look on him with surprise and wonder.
Owl: "It is time for you to fall into the shadow and visit your ancestors, connect with them, learn about them. About their traditions, joys and sorrows".
Me: "How? I do not remember anything about my family I was taken too early for memories".
Owl: "You will find a way", - says the owl.
When I wake up I am even more confused than before and hungry too, I set out to find food.

Spica Inventor: nice story

Cerine Swordthain

Cerine Swordthain: The Wine of Creation

She lounges sleepily in the depths of her mother's cave. Deep blue eyes watch the spiraling dance of flame and ash as slender fingers caress the intricately-carved metal goblet. The aroma of a strong red wine wafts past her nostrils as she breathes with her unseen brethren and the Rhythm that connects them all. Closing her eyes against the light of the leaping flames; time fractures and dissipates as she knew it would...the sound of the fire's crackle becoming a roar in her sensitive ears before all goes blessedly silent. Only darkness now...has she forgotten to breathe? The fragile body gasps and pulls at the surrounding air as blood seeps gently from her nose. The metal goblet whose attention she had sought minutes before, was now in danger of spilling it's fluid onto the exquisitely-woven carpet that lay as a barrier against the chill of the damp cave. She listens as silence reigns in the Pathways. A frisson of fear runs through her...silence held it's place but not here...not in the glen that was her own.

She sits upon the Spring grass she cannot smell and wraps her arms tightly around her knees. Ebony curls lift on an unheard breeze as sapphire eyes survey the edges of her place within the Rhythm. The movement she often sensed outside her own branch in the Pathway was eerily still. "The calm before the storm." She thinks as her eyes shift from the tightly-woven bushes to the Cedar trees lining the edges. She feels for her connection with this place and sighs as she is reassured of it's place in her mind as she even now rested in it's flow.  She laughs suddenly...the sharp sound refusing to echo in the dead quiet. Words run through her thoughts...a lesson from long ago and pertinent even now...

"You will be subject to wild swings of self-indulgent behavior- much of which will frighten and confuse those around you. I went through this, but in the holds of Mori Tarma away from prying eyes. You cannot stop it...only try to contain it to avoid rousing too much interest or objection."

She had asked him how long this would go on...he had merely smiled, his blue eyes crinkling with a true humor and replied, "A thousand years I will give you, Cerine. A day more than that and I shall take measures to curtail your behavior by whatever means necessary." His voice held a promised threat...completely at odds with the timeline given for surely she would have matured far sooner than a millenia?

Self-indulgent for most was self-explanatory but for the Sereg....deadly...as evidenced by her recent behavior. She'd played the pieces upon the board with a clarity she should not have and yet...so much of the future was murky...pieces moved in a given moment with no guarantee what the next would bring.: And what most would have called spoilt behavior was in fact her testing the boundaries...manipulating...and questioning, always questioning. Who was she to decide another's fate?

Her head snaps up as color bleeds into the dense twilight bringing with it the rushing of thoughts and voices she associated with her brothers. The muted melody of their Chords vibrates within her, causing an instant reaction and the ringing of her own. She holds her breath as they suddenly still...assassins.... all perched listening and waiting. How she hated it when they all turned to her! Growling softly she stifles her own Chord into silence and waits until they continue on with their inner speech in the Pathways of the Sereg'wethrin. Slender fingers relax their hold on the goblet whose flight to the rug below is muffled as metal meets silken fibers and wine stains them blood red. A delicate body slips to the floor in a crumpled heap....

"Centuries of creation
Fashioned and transformed
A mystical ultimate organism that holds expectancy of union with the divine
No surprise that what seems to be insurmountable barriers are merely stopping points gaining our attention
Without bread or wine or altar the sun sets its host of fire upon the trembling chalice of earth
The shades of this fair season reflect in the lake of vineyards
The wine of creation
Blood Red and Real"

Sequoyah (vlosh.troncon)

Sequoyah (vlosh.troncon): Ode to the Bards Circle Tree
What a delight to behold this tree
In its predetermined cycles,
Undisturbed by human greed
And worshipped by poets and lovers alike.
Take your mind back to first creatures
Who built homes from trees like this
And removed many just like this.

They burnt them for fuel. How tragic.
And how fortunate is this one
Surviving for hundreds of years
In the soil fueled in turn
By fallen decomposing neighbors,
In the unending cycles of life,
worshipped by those who appreciate it's magisty.
We can learn from trees.
Unlike other creatures,trees use discretion in choosing the company they keep.
Hardwoods don't do well in conifer soil,
Hemlocks not with beech.
This grand tree chooses us, we do not choose it.
It chooses poets and lovers to protect.
Thank it for it's protection.

Odil Lumiere: Dark Moon Nights
by Odil Lumiere

While the moon is hiding
And the winds are still
A lone owl is gliding
Over the empty hill
Only the distant stars are gazing
Coolly upon the land
The milky way is blazing
Like a silver band

The sea is moans it secret sorrows
With relentless beat
And little waves are sobbing
Among the reed
While it is dark you can hear
Small foot steps in the grass
All the creatures that hide in the daytime
Come out at least

Faint mist embraces the hills like smoke
Among them ghosts so restless
Shreds of old memories smote
With pain endless

Only the Moon remembers
What once was such delight
The cooling embers
Tell me I lost you heart

Odil Lumiere: end

Casting spells: Vocabulary

Here, we have some examples of the use of the language to cast spells with Wands and Staves..

Casting lightning
She waved the wand in a tighter motion and invoked the proper wording with a confident articulation. A bolt of lightning shot out across the still water of the creek. Sparks and smoke filled the air, and a tree limp dropped to the ground.

Vibrancy illusion
She waved her hand through the air and chanted, drawing a glimmer of light into being. With the energy manifested, she wrote her name across the air. Each letter remained for a few moments before fading from sight.

More examples on how to describe wand spells:

* Her hand flicked from side to side, and she spoke the incantation, a prismatic light sparkled from her wand, and she drew flowers at the tops of the weeds and ferns beside her.

* Flickering her wrist, casting a spray of light at him, staining his clothes for a few seconds before fading away..

* She swished her wand at him and spoke the words, flinging a pink wave of energy.

* She casts another cone of light and changing her clothes to a sky blue color.

* She casts her spells wider and faster, coloring his clothes a mixture of pink and purple, the spell sent a warm rush through his body as it passed around him.

* With a quick motion, she cast, sticking him in the face with an imaginary flower.

* With a flick of the wrist and incantation muttered, a blast of energy strikes the boy and send him to the ground.

* She places a book in front of you. It's leather bound with stamped impressions of runes and glyphs burned into the cover.

* She spoke an incantation and waves the wand, closing her eyes as sparkles of purple flames licked the air nearby. She raised the wand to the sky when she finished the words, then trust it in the direction of the horses at the head of the wagon. With a crackling sound, the pure energy shot through the air and the smell of jasmine filled the air. The horses reared and snorted while glittering light surrounded them. As fast as they had appeared, the candescent waves disspated, and the horses resumed their stirring.

Spells with a rod

* Ismerelda produced a rod made of intertwined shiny metals which seemed to have been bent in a spiral by the hands of a giant. A fiery red stone was set into the top of the scepter. The appearance of the rod of great craftsmanship and ornamentation. She spoke a phrase of magic words and made a swaying motion with her casting hand. Glints of white luminescence dripped from the end of the rod like a font of shimmering light.

* She brought forth her rod and flung it towards him with the utterance of an incantation he didn't recognize. Erupting from the tip of the scepter, a ball of energy flew across the room, then exploded with a flash when it struck an invisible barrier in front of him.

More on wands and staffs... Taken from Wikipedia..

Magic wands commonly feature in works of fantasy fiction as spell-casting tools. Few other common denominators exist, so the capabilities of wands vary wildly. Note that wands fill basically the same role as wizards' staffs, though staffs generally convey a more 'serious' image; a fairy godmother would often use a wand, possibly with a star or some form of decoration on the end, while Gandalf would most likely not (however, in The Hobbit, he is said to use a wand, referring to his staff, to fight the goblins of the Misty Mountains and their Wargs). Gandalf's name is Northern Mannish (one of Tolkien's invented languages, similar to North Germanic languages) for "Elf of the Wand", a reference to the staff he carries. In dramatic fiction, wands can serve as weapons in magical duels. Personal Wands are common in the fictional world of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter, as necessary tools to channel out each character's magic; it is the wand which chooses its owner. A wand is also present in the Children of the Red King series in the possession of Charlie Bone as well as the popular MMORPG World of Warcraft where caster classes such as the mage and warlock use wands offensively.

Circle of Sorcerers: Ismerelda's Teachings

Ismerelda's Teachings on magic

These are the notes of Laedron Telpist, an apprentice of mage...

The first rule of magic is that all effects are temporary. The spell's effect remains, so long as you continue concentrating. The wave of magic can affect the things it comes in contact with while it is in existence. Therefore, a lightning bolt can break a tree in half. You could drown an enemy in magically created water so long as he passes before the water is dispelled. Magic is just as much about figuring out solutions as concentrating to make it happen. Magical fire can set other things aflame. It's not because the magic remains, but because it has affected something else in the world that is material.

There are several types of magic. These are known as aspects to sorcerers. They each deal with a particular part or effect of magic. The first and most popular is energetics. Being the study and conjuration of raw energy from nothingness, almost every offensive spell is a part of this aspect, but there are some practical uses, too.

Next comes the transfiguration aspect. This style of magic is done to change some feature of something. A weaker transfiguration might be changing a copper coin into a gold one for a short period of time, while a major use would be transforming a person into a rabbit.

After transfiguration, you have alteration. That is the magic of illusions and shadows. It's easier to project an image of something than to conjure up the sum of its parts. Instead of making a man from nothing, you make his image. Alterations cannot interact with things since they are simply apparitions.

The final aspect is a rather new practice which can be difficult to master. It is called Captivation. It is the art of the silver tongue. I can be used to persuade or manipulate others. While requiring a great deal of concentration, it involves speaking at the same time. These two actions working simultaneously can be troublesome to achieve, and even the masters find it nearly impossible to control anyone for any considerable length of time. It can aid you in communicating with those who don't speak our common tongue, though. Birds, for instance. They can be told simple directions, many sorcerers use the smarter creatures for mundane tasks. A carrier pigeon, for example.

There are others aspects, but they are very specialized  and they are branches of these four aspects. Each sorcerer might also develop his own incantations, making our game both interesting and dangerous.

The most important spell a sorcerer can ever know is the invocation of dispelling. Many mages begin their training by learning simple offensive spells or changing water into milk.

Alteration magic deals with illusions. In order to make a mirage, you must be familiar with what you are trying to mimic. The more complex the apparition, the harder it will be to maintain  Even though an illusionary image cannot interact with the material world, it can still be convincing. It's also easier to create than the actual thing. Whereas making a real human is a daunting task, summoning the mere image of one is often plenty to accomplish the effect.

Captivation magic can be used to exert control over another, its common practical use is to communicate with others, its common practical use is to communicate with others who do not share your tongue. And animals. The incantation is spoken, and  you must concentrate the words into its base emotions and thoughts, conveying them to the recipient in their rawest form. That's why we can communicate with animals in this way, although they may not always understand our meaning. Advance beings are capable of higher thought and feelings.

To influence another in this method yo must concentrate while bringing out the thoughts you want to portray. Then, you must stregthen these thoughts to draw them to act the way you want. it's not a method of commanding them outright; you use your powers to sway thwm one way or another.

Let's us supposed that you are angry with me, an I would prefer you to be cordial. I would then speak the incantation to bring about the spell and feed positive thoughts of myself directly to your mind . especially those which I feel would be the most effective.

Taken from : The Circle of Sorcerers. By Brian Kittrel

When Laedron Telpist's sorcery training is interrupted by a knock on the door, what once seemed a proper profession must now be hidden. In a world where priests and mages vie for the limitless power of the elements and a new Grand Vicar has sworn death to all sorcerers, Laedron is tossed into a nightmare which would see his destruction at every turn.

From the home shores in western Sorbia, through the Cael'Brilland heartlands, and even across the seas to the great city of Azura, Laedron finds himself embracing old friends, consorting with unlikely allies, and confronting potent enemies. As he struggles to train himself in spellcraft, Laedron must face that he lives in a time when the utterance of a simple spell could be the signature on his death warrant.
