YOu should have known this would happen. Mage_Willow_Whitewolf looks at Winnie and whispers *this is just bit too weird* Mage_Willow_Whitewolf rolls her eyes at Yasmin's yelling Yasmin Toshido: Now they have gone to get it back and will be diced. So much for your prophecy. I am gld you aren't in charge of a military campaign Devaeriel_Stormsong looks at Yasmin and says " Child I have been in more wars then you have body parts to count on. Willow please stay where you are." Devaeriel looks at Maggie then closes his eyes. Concerntrating hard. After about 20 minutes he opens his eyes. Yasmin looks pale and is trying to hide her fear. Willow looks curious Maggie waits impatiently. Devaerial says Wake the Others...If they haven't already woken at Yasmin's shouting, that is. If things go well when we get to Kantarra we will have to move fast. K'sheyna and Delko are due to bring us something of a suprise. We will need to be one step ahead of thedark ones at all time.

Your thoughts have been tumbling out at me for the last few hours.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf looks at Deva with a strange expression Devaeriel_Stormsong taps Willow's nose Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, ”You know what I've been thinking?” Devaeriel_Stormsong sighs Mage_Willow_Whitewolf gulps and looks down at the dirt, “Ummm. I've been feeling a bit out of place I guess.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Not so much what your thinking but vague impressions of your distress and unease.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf hopes he doesn't ask about the rest Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “And you’ve been wanting to go home. Child that is something you cannot do. I know these people seem disagreeable..” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Yasmin especially.” *grins* Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Well yes she is a bit harsh.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf looks at him a bit annoyed, “Why? And why do you keep calling me child?” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “I am a few hundred centuries older then you Willow.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf lifts an eyebrow again Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “A bit? That woman could strip paint.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf mumbles about not minding being a bit more like her even so Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Centuries??” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “But like them all once she is used to you and your ways, she will become a loyal friend....remember she too feels out of place.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Yes Willow, Centuries.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Oh come on she does not. She's so sure of herself. She's strong and knows what she wants.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf blinks and looks Deva over, “You don’t look that old.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “I knew your great Grandmother. I was around when the Elven Clans split. I was around when one of your clans merged with a Clan of Moon Elves to become the Clansmen on the Grasslands.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “But......” *looks down feeling confused* “How can you be that old? I mean you look really......” *stops herself* Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “I am Elven blood of the highest order. We live along time.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “I'd say so.” Devaeriel_Stormsong smiles wryly Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Still.......” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Back to the issues.....you my dear where chosen by the gods to perform a task. I am to make sure that you do it.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf looks away and sighs a bit thinking to herself but this is an issue. Shrugs and turns her attention back to Deva. “What can I do that the gods seem to think is necessary? I know nothing of the world outside the clan.” Devaeriel_Stormsong smiles, “You are you...The power to shape shift.. your mage power.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “I can't fight worth a rats ass.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “You will learn Willow, of that world soon enough.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Umm what do you know of my shape shifting? And I'm not so sure I want to know the world if it’s like what I've seen so far.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “I placed you here in this world Willow.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Placed me?” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “I created the circumstances of you Great Grandparents meeting so you would be born with the powers you have.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Great so I have you to thank for being a freak.” Devaeriel_Stormsong . o O (*as the Book* Does this seem more familiar?) Devaeriel_Stormsong says a bit angrily, “You are no freak.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf hears a voice in her head Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “You are my chosen. You must be strong.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf blinks as the voice is now out of Deva Mage_Willow_Whitewolf thinks to herself just not the way I'd wanted Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “This will not be easy.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Yeah yeah I know. Heard Maggie before.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Do you Willow? Those dreams you are having are one possible Path. Can you handle those becoming real?” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Why can't I just go back to the clans once we're done in Kantara?” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “My dreams? I dream of a talking book and of a man who was blind but somehow he could see.” Devaeriel_Stormsong shakes head, “In the end all the Icons must be used at once to restore the balance.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Well see then you need the icons.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Yes and I need the Ones chosen to wield them.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf slumps Devaeriel_Stormsong . o O (The blind one's master will create Hell On earth if unstopped) Mage_Willow_Whitewolf mutters softly Devaeriel_Stormsong touches Willow's cheek Mage_Willow_Whitewolf . o O (but.... oh hell) Mage_Willow_Whitewolf shivers and looks away nervously Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “I know you are unprepared” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf nods and mumbles, “Scared too.” Devaeriel_Stormsong gently hugs Willow, “Even I am scared.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf gulps and hugs back shyly, “You? Scared?” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “You think I want any of you to come to harm. Even in the course of this. It is a hard destiny I’ve lumped you with but I am not unfeeling.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “No, not really, but in the end it won’t really matter will it. So long as we do our jobs.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “I have circumnavigated the Gods’ will to be here so that I can offer some measure of protection. If the other side even finds out I am here they will take steps to remove me. That is why secrecy regarding me is necessary, even if you figure out who I am, and please don’t tell the old Hag. I want to see her face if and when she ever uses those dull wits of hers to figure it out.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “You don’t need to worry about me.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “But I do. I worry about you all.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “I meant I'll do anything you ask of me.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “The others are harder, a bit more worldly.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf . o O (Can’t seem to help myself) Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Oh I know you will. I also don’t want you to be discouraged.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Gee there you go again building up my confidence.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf gives him a look Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “I want you to come to me if you have any problems.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf mumbles softly, “But I can't come to you with all of them.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf straightens up Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Maggie is an old grouch, but she will also help.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf nods, “Okay.” Devaeriel_Stormsong grins Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Maggie’s not so bad.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Also you can trust Bowrie and Ksheyna.” Devaeriel_Stormsong smiles Mage_Willow_Whitewolf shakes her head Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “As an Ice breaker why not ask Yasmin to teach you some knife work?” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Me use a knife?” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf chuckles, “You seem to have forgotten just how graceful I am.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “You need to be able to protect yourself in case others aren’t around.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “I mean running smack into you, tripping over a log. And you want me to use a knife?” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “The Sokudo Captain has taught less graceful beings then yourself. She will drill grace into you Mage_Willow_Whitewolf . o O (There ya go again just making me feel so much better ) Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Gee sounds like fun. Can I teach her how to swim??” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf smirks Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “It won’t be. I’m not here to coddle you.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf . o O (Coddling is definitely not what I think of when I see you ) Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Yeah I’ll gladly chuck her in. It might sweeten her temper.” *said sourly* Mage_Willow_Whitewolf chuckles a bit Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Give them time. Yasmin especially and the others have lived lives where trust is earned.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “They will have no reason not to trust me.” Devaeriel_Stormsong flicks Willow's hair back from her face Mage_Willow_Whitewolf looks up at Deva Devaeriel_Stormsong says, But as yet they have no reason to trust, ‘cept Bowrie she is almost as innocent as you.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf. o O (Wonder if anyone’s ever told him how handsome he is) Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “The thief?” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Yes. All of them are trustworthy. Though there is one whose alliances are not yet made.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “You know you keep this up and my confidence is just gonna grow and grow.” Devaeriel_Stormsong looks at Willow, face growing a tad hard Mage_Willow_Whitewolf mumbles about the graceful, unworldly, innocent child remarks. Looks at him seeing him getting agitated. Mage_Willow_Whitewolf whispers, “Sorry. It’s just hearing that stuff from anyone is hard, but hearing it from you well....” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “I was not put here to give you confidence. I am here to help prepare you for what is coming.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “I didn’t say you were.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “You must seek the confidence from with yourself.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf nods Devaeriel_Stormsong puts a hand under Willow's chin and makes her look into his silver eyes Mage_Willow_Whitewolf swallows and stares at Deva Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “You are one of the strongest Druids to ever live. Mage_Willow_Whitewolf shivers, “I don’t feel it.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “But you must find the power when the time is right. As you grow in power you will grow in confidence.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “I know. What you've told me is the same as my father always used to tell me.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “If I could do this for you I would.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “I never really felt unconfident till I met all of you.” Devaeriel_Stormsong sighs, “Because they are all so strong?” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf smirks and looks at him, “You sure do sigh a lot don’t you? Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Well because they seem strong yes. They seem to command power.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Advancing age makes me exasperated with the way things turn out. Seems to is correct. They all have their weaknesses. Yasmin despises magic.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “I know.” *makes a face* “She saw her parents murdered by it. She doesn’t trust it; believes it is only evil.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf looks at him and tilts her head, “Why would someone do that?” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Terasi is a place of intrigue. Power is all most the nobles want.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “But magic isn’t power.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “The Toshidos had it and they were not even royal or nobly born. It was the most expedient way to kill them.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “You know what?” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “What Willow?” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “I really don’t think I'm gonna like this world.” Devaeriel_Stormsong laughs, “Your feelings will match Ksheyna's. She despises the world outside the Grasslands.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Then why did she leave? I mean didn’t she leave it all behind before you called us?” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “She was the apple of the clan’s eye. They doted on her, and stifled her.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “There are worse things than being doted on.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “They trained her magic telling her that she was destined to do great things Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Well she is isn’t she?” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Doted on to the point of never leaving her alone for minute?” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Yeah I guess that would be irritating.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “She now sees Prophecy and Destiny as a thing spoken to control a child into a certain pattern. Into being made to do what others want.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “You and Maggie surely have your hands full don’t you? Last thing you need is me whining too.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Like you wouldn’t believe. I'd rather you whine then hold it in so it sours.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf . o O ( will have to hold on to some things ) Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “I am going to have one hell of a time with Delko.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Yeah I can well imagine. He's a piece of work isn’t he?” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “It’s not been easy for him above ground. He has done what he had too to survive. Let you in on a little secret.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf grins and looks, “What?” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “He is more dangerous then you think. His attitude is just a cover. Don't under estimate any of these people.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “That’s not a secret.” Devaeriel_Stormsong grins Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “I knew that after meeting him and trust me I don’t” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “He thinks it is.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Well he doesn’t think too well does he?” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “He thinks in a very elvish way.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “You can’t hide that kind of thing with an attitude.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, "The elves, specially the Drow think strangely. Comes from long life I think.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “But your an elf too, and rather old. So do you think strangely too?” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Yes I know. But I’ve been around Humans much longer.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf grins, “Well alright then I guess your okay.” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “What’s worse is I’ve been around the Clansmen.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “heyyy!” Devaeriel_Stormsong Grins Mage_Willow_Whitewolf smirks and whaps his arm softly Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “That wasn’t nice.” Devaeriel_Stormsong smiles Mage_Willow_Whitewolf sighs a bit looking at him smiling Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “True though. In between your father and K'shey’s Father, I’ve learned to think like a human.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Now that’s a scary thought.” Devaeriel_Stormsong smiles at willow Mage_Willow_Whitewolf smiles back....catches herself staring Devaeriel_Stormsong winks Mage_Willow_Whitewolf blushes. Turns and looks at Winnie Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Soooooo” Devaeriel_Stormsong smiles at the horses acidic comment Mage_Willow_Whitewolf looks at Winnie then to Deva questioningly Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Never mind it doesn’t translate well.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf quirks an eyebrow Devaeriel_Stormsong grins cheekily Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “So were you talking to her or her to you?” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “She made a passing comment, something about you telling her off.” *grins wider* Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Me telling her off?” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “bout males of her species or something.” Devaeriel_Stormsong . o O ( Heya Old Hag time for you to wake up ) Maggie Joins them looking disgruntled. Settles down on her log. Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “Oh but I didn’t tell her off. I tried to tell her not to be hung up on that pompous talking glue factory.” Devaeriel_Stormsong looks innocently at Maggie, “Willow and I were just clearing a few things up.” Maggie_Heatherwick says, “Hmmmm.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf . o O (Not everything tho) Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Heheh and she said something akin to don’t get hung up on that pompous elf......Hey Horse!!!!!!” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf looks down and goes wide eyed, gulps and fidgets nervously with a stick in the dirt Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Ahh Willow, if I could I would.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf . o O ( is sooooo gonna get Winnie back for this ) Mage_Willow_Whitewolf blinks, “Would what?” maggie_heatherwick listens quietly Mage_Willow_Whitewolf bites her lower lip Devaeriel_Stormsong touches Willow's cheek, tenderly and exchanges a glance with Maggie. Maggie_Heatherwick looks at Deva. Devaeriel_Stormsong . o O (This could be a problem eventually) maggie_heatherwick . o O (She has a crush no doubt about that, but I am sure as she gets to know you she will rapidly lose it ) Mage_Willow_Whitewolf . o O (Oh great they're talking about me) senses the currents flashing between Maggie and Deva Devaeriel_Stormsong . o O ( Geez that says a lot for my charm Old Hag) maggie_heatherwick lays a hand on Willow's arm and grins. Mage_Willow_Whitewolf . o O (bet they're having a big chuckle over this ) Mage_Willow_Whitewolf blinks and looks at Maggie Devaeriel_Stormsong . o O ( well old chook what do you think. Are they ready? ) maggie_heatherwick . o O ( they will be ready Deva. Already Yasmin unconsciously takes on the burden of protector. ) maggie_heatherwick looks at the woman standing guard. Mage_Willow_Whitewolf sits there wondering what they've talked about maggie_heatherwick looks at Willow. Devaeriel_Stormsong . o O ( I had noticed that. She is skulking round out there now pretending not to listen) maggie_heatherwick says, “We are talking about, are you lot ready.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf blinks at Maggie Devaeriel_Stormsong winks at Willow. maggie_heatherwick says, “and you will be ready when the time comes. Do not fret about that Willow dear.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf makes a face, “Dang it will you quit that?” Devaeriel_Stormsong leans back then suddenly curses and jumps to his feet Mage_Willow_Whitewolf (Looking at Maggie) says, “You keep answering me before I say anything Maggie.” maggie_heatherwick Smiles. “I only get the sense of it dear, your uncertainty. I wouldn't dream of prying in your mind without your permission. But I am sorry dear, habit.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf looks at Deva maggie_heatherwick says, “What Deva?” Looks at the jumping Elf Mage_Willow_Whitewolf does a double take Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “That idiot ..” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf says, “huh?” *looks at him strangely* Devaeriel_Stormsong frowns, growls under his breath Mage_Willow_Whitewolf stands slowly, “Umm Deva?” Devaeriel_Stormsong turns to Maggie snaps out, “K'sheyna. When I get my hands on that child I will kill her" Mage_Willow_Whitewolf eyes widen and backs away maggie_heatherwick gets a sick feeling.. “What is she up to now?” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “She has decided to go after the Books. Just her and that Drow.” maggie_heatherwick says, “oh good grief! Can't you stop her? I must talk to her father. Get him to tell her to get her little elf butt back here!” Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “Unfortunately No. It is too late and we have no time.” maggie_heatherwick curses. Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “She must do it.” maggie_heatherwick says, “You won’t be the only one killing her Deva.” Devaeriel_Stormsong looks furious Mage_Willow_Whitewolf takes Winnie’s reigns and keeps backing slowly from Maggie and Deva Devaeriel_Stormsong says, “I suppose she has stolen it once she can do it again but her timing sucks.” Yasmin stops all pretence of staring out and turns to stare at the three, “Why the hell did you give Alister the book then!! You should have known this would happen.” Mage_Willow_Whitewolf looks at Winnie and whispers *this is just a bit too weird* Mage_Willow_Whitewolf rolls her eyes at Yasmin's yelling Yasmin Toshido says, “Now they have gone to get it back and will be diced. So much for your prophecy. I am glad you aren't in charge of a military campaign.” Devaeriel_Stormsong looks at Yasmin and says, “Child I have been in more wars then you have body parts to count on. Willow please stay where you are." Devaeriel looks at Maggie then closes his eyes. Concentrating hard. After about 20 minutes he opens his eyes. Willow looks curious Maggie waits impatiently. Devaeriel says, “Wake the Others. If they haven't already woken at Yasmin's shouting, that is. If things go well when we get to Kantara we will have to move fast. K'sheyna and Delko are due to bring us something of a surprise. We will need to be one step ahead of the dark ones at all time. Ohhh and Maggie? Bring some silk. We are going to need it ************************************************************************************ Continue on to the next episode RP4 - Devaeriel and Dysanter talk Or you may return to the library |
