The grand arcane city of Pylon is known throughout the land for the majesty of the city that hangs above the land. Pylon is known for its scholars but most notable are its priests light bearers indifferent beings above all in the land second only to the gods themselves. Priests of Pylon are scholars in their own rights and bearers of the gift of light, able to cure or heal some of the most grievous of wounds. Some legends even say that those closest to the light can even impart the gift of life to the fallen. There are also those who would wish to attain the title of high elf priest, a title granted to only the most devote and resolute priest displaying knowledge and immaculate breeding.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeyFoSpPEq
Down these halls moves a tall priest with the knowledge of ages in his head and the calm of experience on his face, his feature young but with marks of age not unusual for those with dedication and purpose but Findecano Tulcakelume 102 years old the youngest of the high elf priesthood, or was until a certain incident cost him his title and lineage. It had been an unexpected encounter, a high elf and a human. 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxFk7pzUsM
Tulcakelume having attained the title of priest was to do a final test, nothing difficult but a test of moral is never easy. Tulcakelume had made it this far at an early age by elf standard which is cause for suspicion in any order. His past that should be filled with light for on who walks in the light. For Tulcakelume his path was riddle with shadows in conclusive was he really a priest a bearer of light or a dark aura. This test which could be achieved by various means would answer or at least give the elders proof to dismiss him.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrfU5Ih040

Humans such filthy insignificant creatures playing at being civilized in the eyes of the high elves. Loraaga Tarmikos was the perfect example of this a woman born without feminity. Raised by the streets she was poacher and fighter, how she made her living. Since long ago she learned that stealing can only get so far and as she lacked the finesse for theft she learned her fists could gather wallets faster in the arena as well as whatever she could catch for the fights. The meeting of these two opposites would change their lives forever. Loraaga not the largest of humans stood at 5.9 and with not a touch of excess skin. She wore her armor with easy though light armor by design it was still metal, an assortment of guard arm legs back and breast plates and gauntlets.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2DL9gQdPQ
In the forest of Shinta lost and angry Loraaga cursed herself and the gods and all the stars in the sky that allowed her to wonder into the forest of the high elves. The elves were not evil but they did hold themselves above all other races of the land especially that of the foolish short lived humans. Loraaga would rather stay lost in the forest than ask for help well until she gets hungry.  Loraaga had wondered into the forest tracking a very rare and very expensive stag that lived in the forest but this particular one had wondered out of the forest. Following the stag she had entered the forest.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ1PA3A7Gv

Above in the trees amongst the shadow of leaves moved a dark skinned green hooded figure small and nimble the dark elven halfing moved watching as a particularly loud human curse everything that was and is. The elven halfing with long white hair perched on a tree her heavy robe making her look larger than she really was but blending with the leaves of the tree. Dark elves unlike the arcane High Elves were more earth bound geomancers having  lived more in the forest than cities of the arcane created and ruled by the high elves, dark elves live in the forest under the watch of trees thousands of years old.  They live in peace with nature venturing no further than the trees of their enchanted forests. This grove that spanned miles in with direction was known as Shinta. 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2BehkiT1C

On the outskirts of Shinta there is the Ferradas  academy for magic all races are welcome though the main students are human and one or two elves. In this school there is a promising mage, wise in the doctrines of the arcane.   Moving swiftly through the library of the Ferradas a woman moves from shelf to shelf returning taking books. Her short green hair moving between the aisles, in garb of a sage she searches for books on magic enhancement. She is Cyable Ceres and she has a problem she has lost her magic in what she hopes is an experiment gone wrong. A week ago after an explosion from a spell misread Cyable has lost her magic the only thing keeping her in the academy, without magic she would be forced to leave the academy if anyone finds out. What she searches for is the location of a certain herb that grows in the forest of Shinta.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9EPit6mEe

In the hall of the high elf priesthood Tulcakelume stands before the leaders of the order.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQtk7XZ0Kh
High Priest of the East “ Tulcakelume you have been stripped of your title and have yet to offer any form of explanation as to how this incident happened. “820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYkrl3BOhq
Many things happen High Priest said Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWffIAWhZL
That does not answer the question, I grow tired of these games you seem to enjoy you have lost your title and will carry out a task of the councils choosing to decide if you are worthy of having it returned.” said the Priest.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgONRzTb3mU
High Priest of the North “You have seen that these humans have made great strides in their quest for power , they cannot be trusted anymore we have guided them for centuries as is expected of those of higher standing”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kPkJbPOEZ
‘Indeed you have guided them to that which is need to topple us’ whispered Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg9FlCG8jE
‘What was that’ asked the High Priest of the South. “We maybe old but these ears are a blessing of the goddess”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJL99yzt1B
“My apologies” said Tulcakelume “but I do not see why we must cater to the watching over of these humans we have no need for them even if it is because of the concern with the dark elves, they have their forest and we our cities, the humans have their kingdoms which constantly fight consuming one another and breaking apart over the centuries.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOqSiVb1ga
“Indeed” said the high priest of the East “As light bearer you must be able to aid those lower than you Tulcakelume, you have treated these as foreign something that”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoQhUm4stq
“Foreign? I was there when we quelled the human wars I was there when we fought the Dark Elves back to their forests”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhENukhFSOv
“You also burned a large portion of the forest” said the High Priest of the West.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU2HmRA6Uy
“That was an accident I was young” retorted Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTehPB0XdFS
“But you did not try to stop the flames either” said the high Priest of the North820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD934fhhdz
“We were fighting them” Tulcakelume said820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH37S9mhNy5
“They were beaten and retreating” thought the high priest of the West.  “Enough of this it is in the past you were of great help if not debatable methods. North tell the young elfling his task”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VmpDY73nI
“Who are you calling elfling” shot Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKna8nCcizr
“This is exactly it that temper and rebellious nature, you lack control and such your task shall be this we shall send you out into the world anywhere and we mean anywhere.” Said the High priest of the North820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kySzg6nD3
“What is that supposed to teach me?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JMcbWBKh5
As Tulcakelume said those words the room was filled with light, stunned Tulcakelume shielded his eyes a wind from where he knew not came. His white robes blowing against him could not help him tell the direction of the wind. Just as suddenly as it started it ended. 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAD7A9SPhu
“Always playing around those old hats” thought Tulcakelume. “Where am I?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj35cx1q61k
“What the hell was that!?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmLEns7bJk
Turning towards where the shout came from Tulcakelume there sat and angry Loraaga, less sat more bowled over.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh0wQzJKmg
“I hunt that thing for three day and when I finally get the chance to catch it you show up with your light and wind and now it’s gone!” shouted Loraaga820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjlM2qKCet
“What seems to be the problem human” said Tulcakelume icily “I have no time for your short lived troubles, where am I”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImD7FMbIqr
“You uppity elf you live long so you will remember this for the rest of your life” shouted Loraaga as she lunged at the priest.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNe8aju5UX
Stepping back Tulcakelume evade the attack effortlessly 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe6YdPA7gI
“Do not touch me you filthy little brute” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPZ4pizCQC
“Filthy I admit I have been in this forest for a few days but, wait why am I explaining to you I gonna pound you.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSf2kFCICR
In the trees above watching intently slowly moving closer bow at ready, Sivir watched the exchange of human and high elf. Destroyer of the forest and the simple humans both were a problem to deal with. Humans were simple creatures with their tinkering and struggle to live. Still they are not to be underestimated they can use magics and are adept fighters of many weapons. High elves are always at odds with the dark elves, high elves with powerful arcane magics have always been a threat to the balance of nature that the dark elves thrive in.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZRCQ2hLbH
Wait and see was always the dark elf nature, so Sivir moved through the trees closer, keeping her bow at a constant ready slowly through the trees. 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0JSTEA98h
Further out in the forest after a few moments upon entering the forest now hopelessly lost Cyable wondered around tired after using magic for carry things in her robes for so long she now realized how heavy all the vials she carried really were, the thick robes themselves did not make anything any better, she was hot and frustrated at being lost. Worse she had told no one where she was going and would not be noticed missing for a day or two long enough for things to get much worse. Deep in her thoughts she had not noticed the shadow following her. From the darkness it lunged a beast a bear maybe it was large enough  8ft the sound of the beast startled Cyable she looked in time to see the beast lung towards her, she lunged out of the way and reached under her robes for a vile.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ROl3WNQfT
Tulcakelume moved left and right as if dancing dodging the punches of Loraaga.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj6Gzg0JfY
“Do you not grow tired of this pointless aggression” asked Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXbn9nAHJ3
“Then stop moving and let me hit you” retorted Loraaga 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMHeIy5Uvq
“Would it not be better for you to draw your weapon” asked Tulcakelume 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwddrRlLvqK
“Attack an unarmed opponent I might not be a knight but I have some pride, sides I don’t need no weapon to stop you”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxSPcBGPJD
Sigh “she is an interesting being if she were not human she would be an honorable addition to the guard’ thought Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqu18sEY5J
The explosion that echoed through the trees knocked  Loraaga flying into the arms of Tulcakelume, Sivir above also lost her footing and came falling to the ground caught by a vine her head inches from the ground.  820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYDIjtjvxt
Cyable would have thought this was a strange sight to see human in the arms of a high elf and a dark elf hanging upside down in front of them, had she not been running from the strange beast that had survived the explosion from the vile she had thrown at it. Before anyone could form the words to say the shadow of the beast landed in front of Cyable, a loud growl and a lunge as the beast was about to make contact with Cyable it was stopped short by the fist of the fighter. As those fist would have worked on a human or an elf but this beast was not so easily toppled moved but for the most part uninjured. With a sweep of its large limbs Loraaga was sent rolling back stopping at the feet of Tulcakelume. Tulcakelume glowing was prepared to dispatch the beast.  820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrw9GbeDDA
Suddenly the trees limbs entangled the beast vines restraining its limbs roots wrapping around its legs and torso. Cyable collapsed to her knees and breathed a sigh of relief820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EbN8LRQ7W
…thank the goddess” she whispered.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aEO1TPZOR
“What the hell is a Hellvan war bear doing in the forest” asked Loraaga as she got to her feet820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDQOxnBhtf
The question is what were you thinking attacking it with bare hands, how is it that you humans are not extinct I will never know” said Tulcakelume “well dark one aren’t you going to come down we already know you are there the natural magic was your doing was it not. I find it hard to believe that your kind would help another race.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nSKxNO31i
“I did not do it to save you I did It to save the bear from you, destroyer” whispered Sivir from the shadow of leaves near the base of the tree she had fallen from.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJRMTiGyVy
“Cloak of nature magic is it not very good but impressive she can use it.” Thought Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMmYMd1rAg
Tulcakelume steadied Loraaga who was still slightly shaken from the blow from the beast. 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1t7R8zloY
“T thank you” she mumbled embarrassed at receiving help from her opponent.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYEVwSFduV
“Thank you all for!” stumbling over still not quite composed after having run in her already tired state as she tumbled she righted herself. 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYxaA2cSf8
“Thank you for saving me” she said820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPPkpdf9Gq
“Thank the human and the darkling over there for saving you!” said holding Loraaga and motioning to the dark elf hiding in the leaves.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLpEz65VdU
Sivir was never good with other even her own kind she felt most peaceful with the trees of ancient and the creatures of the forest, being thanked by someone was unusual for her much less a human. She felt unease which was only intensified when the human dropped her robes revealing an ample chest and smooth curved figure in a dress that hugged to the body tightly accentuating her curves that could not be seen under the thick robes of a sage.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BurSskKqh
“I can breathe again” said as she stepped out of the pile of heavy robes at her feet.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU9t0KE5Wh
“Why do you wear those robes if you have no magic?” asked Tulcakelume 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgIaqjdGmm
“How did you know I did not have magic!?” asked a clearly shocked Cyable 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fZKLqK45l
“If you had magic those robes would be as comfortable as you desire and as light” said Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufy4WH7TSP
“Yes…I have lost my magic, I was in the forest searching for a special herb to help me get back my magic” said Cyable almost in a whisper.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghavpICUSK
“Before we go any further I think we should do something about this bear” said Tulcakelume a glow to his hand as he stepped from Loraaga towards the bear.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldshZUiqaQ
Sivir had been captivated by the human since she had removed her robes, her kind were not so …well-endowed the human she saw before her was  beautiful she skin light and smooth her short green hair, the sweat glistening off her skin making her seem so angelic. Sivir had to force the goddess from her mind 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaqYk389RE
“Stop Destroyer!!” shouted Sivir coming from behind her cover of leaves bow drawn and trained on the high elf.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFib95PJKo
“I will not allow a high elf to spill more blood in the forest!” said Sivir as she looked up at the high elf, she could not shake the thought that they were only called high elves because they were so tall.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalHnCwjSGh
The glowing of Tulcakelume’s hand grew brighter “a darkling points a weapon at me well that cannot be allowed.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA3s4OZ7GQ
Loraaga behind Tulcakelume could only see there was a glowing in front of the high elf, knowing nothing of magic she moved closer to see, a slight limp in her step.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYkXO22PsV
Cyable ran in between the two elves 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMeVzyhiMr
“Wait wait!! There is no reason for violence between one another over a bear that is of no threat to us”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsTahWbeKM
“This is not about the bear anymore this is about a darkling threatening a high elf priest” said Tulcakelume 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU63ZxDfK4
Cyable moved closer to Sivir “what would the council of high elves say about a high elf threatening a human.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsOb5h3fXK
Loraaga bumped into Tulcakelume who placed a glowing hand on her 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YEssVP4xD
“Who is threatening “820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8wJTW3iet
There was a flash Loraaga closed her eyes, Cyable jumped onto Sivir shielding her from the light. As suddenly as the light appeared it vanished. 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa48CB9C3x
What the hell was that!” Loraaga shouted820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs2FNONSZV
“How is your leg?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BK1ajFiP0
“My wha hey it feels great” said Loraaga820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qz62mejTj
“Good well now that we are all happy I am Findecano Tulcakelume of the High Elf Priesthood who are all of you”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SPVSlMy1c
“Loraaga, Loraaga Tarmikos”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkrLq8YtZ8
“I am Cyable Ceres of the Ferradas magical academy”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8uhRi8hRt
“And what of you darkling you could pry yourself from the human to tell us your name” asked Tulcakelume.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZMqU6ygrv
To Cyable’s embarrassment she had the small dark elf buried in her ample chest, she released the elf 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwURFFVJ0mR
“I am so sorry are you alright” asked Cyable820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUZQJ9c4R3
“I I am fine” stuttered the elf820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJIcTgHWqo
Dark as her skin was she could not hide her blushing face, drawing her green hood over her face 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDZdev9D9N
“I am Sivir of the Forest” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5H6ByVXvm
“Of the forest?” wondered Loraaga 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnz0nqmUda
“Yes of the forest hum...Loraaga, darklings take their names from the forests that they live in” said Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0DDskXdjV
“Now that we are all acquainted what shall be done about the bear” asked Loraaga 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxsDSNmNqs
“Indeed it is a powerful beast to survive that blast and keep going” said Cyable 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJEtU5Fz2h
That was you but I thought Tul said you couldn’t use magic” said Loraaga rubbing her leg still surprised it felt so normal 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc8hwK32QQ
Cyable walked over to her robes and picked them up she pulled out one of the vials similar to the one she had earlier. 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMDeA2TGBW
These are magic crystalized I would not venture into the forest completely unarmed”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobhXUrAyfj
“So you carry around bombs with you?” asked Loraaga820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp4fLb8Wsy
“They are perfectly safe these vials are very strong see” Cyable holds up a clearly cracked vial 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWBG1fpW54
Loraaga backed away “I see”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfmgL9G5jd
Clearing his throat “the bear” Tulcakelume muttered820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bk43lYnUT
“Leave the bear it means no harm it was only just escaped from a warband and was cautious it means us no harm” said Sivir820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4uJct5uae
“It just tried to eat Cyable” countered Loraaga820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp5sYIF2KI
“It only intended to scare her it had not expected her to try to blow it up so it though she was from the warband and might have been sent to capture it.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vBdYARo5n
“Will it try to eat me again if we free it” asked Cyable820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3L7dm7FMi
“You intend to free this beast again?” asked Tulcakelume with a look of something less than frustration maybe curiosity820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuIMqMrfnZ
These humans really are a strange race to release that which only moments ago tried to kill them, this is nothing like the descriptions of humans behavior or the ones I met thirty years ago have they changed so much in that blink of an eye. Thought Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85HPgwJYkh
“It will not attack us” said Sivir820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqUVRGp130
Cyable took a step towards the bear820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB3VajdP1Q
“I think we should let it go it only attacked because I tried to kill it”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoJ18WM4td
“It attacked you” said Loraaga 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDODvmC5h1E
“I shall have the forest release it” said Sivir 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv646aCH3O
At her words the roots and vines binding the war bear receded back to the forest floor and trees, as the magic was dispelled Tulcakelume watched carefully, Loraaga also took a defensive stance.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkkIjfBts7
Upon being released the bear pounced on Cyable wrapping the unsuspecting mage into a bear hug Loraaga charged straight out from behind Tulcakelume but was stopped by one of the elf’s hands 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YuI1lUqpU
“What are you doing it’s gonna kill er!!”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCWOX0It1L
“It’s alright look” said Tulcakelum820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJOfW9T6Hu
Looking ahead she saw the mage still in the bears grasp but laughing as the large beast licked her and rubbed its head against her face.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtf245cEBZ
“Calm down” giggled Cyable as the fur tickled her thighs arms and midriff.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5984R0LWDG
“It will stay wishes to help you and...” Sivir blushed “will you be his mate”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx9bDQVJvu
“I am happy to accept its help but we barely know each other to be intimate” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8l7VeuqyG
“This one is might be some kinda freak” thought Tulcakelume and Loraaga 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIATiTrzIv
Sivir was blushing even brighter.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuwF74aqET
“Well now that that’s over I will be on my way.” Said Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStWtvirlu0
“Wait a minute you we still have a score to settle” said Loraaga820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bJrLehc1Z
“Really? I thought it was already settle since this incident saved you “said Tulcakelume still walking away 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iRGKqFikM
Loraaga raced towards Tulcakelume as soon as she was able to touch him he turned around and placed a glowing hand on her head. Loraaga collapsed to her knees 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSsEUmRHpm
“What are you doing to her” yelled Cyable 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF44BzqIAWf
The bear and Sivir taking defensive positions in front of the scantily clad mage.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOa0lRk9zu
“Nothing just settling a score from what I understand when you defeat a human you enslave them as servants in exchange for not killing them” said Tulcakelume almost absentmindedly820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnA96M6U4W
“I have no idea where you learned that but that is wrong even warriors choose death over slavery” said Loraaga standing up820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoICuCjtyR
“Sit” said Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNdhFQRnFi
Loraaga sat 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs74u17atnB
“Still works” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjv1TfV8ym

“Me having my hand on your head is enough to warrant a defeat, now be silent”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ42GbdOChB

“He says his name is Uther” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJapCRdtjv
“Oh Uther, Sivir stop I don’t want any fighting” said Cyable820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3zEeZBYAz
Uther moved back closer to Cyable and Sivir lowered her bow slowly820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIcj6FlLZT
“There is no reason to enslave anyone her Tulcakelume.” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGchar8iM0A
“I don’t think you have the right to say that I do not know what magic you used to control the darkling and the beast, but you are no different from me. Said Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3P5MjNXCe
“What are you talking about?” said Cyable a confused look on her face820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV515q7pta
“The bear is intelligent or so it would appears, and if what the darkling said is true it wishes to serve you for saving it, but the darkling follows your command as well and for a while now has looked to be having some illness” said Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUylSoG9gH
Cyable looked at Sivir who was looking confused, but as soon as she met eyes with Cyable her dark skin turned red once more and quickly looked away820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NvHQPYvoi
Cyable went over to Sivir and placed a hand on the elf’s forehead 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuoTKvYtKC
“You are sick you have a fever we must get back to the academy “820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRasZIFTcbp
“I I I am fine” whispered Sivir820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYgQAYHXgk
“Nonsense we will go to the academy all of us” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIyN0BooGo
Shrugging Tulcakelume agreed 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6tgMNtgCQ
“Now how do we get out of this forest?” asked Cyable820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXXF8Mw5vG
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV8Jn63Fvu
“…….”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrGVeigs8k
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVZSMriJ8Q
Back at Ferradas academy in one of the rooms made large through a spell of space provided by the academy the 5 now sat, Cyable had brought tea and biscuits she had baked earlier. Aside from magic Cyable enjoyed the magic of baking. Now gathered the group was to explain what led them all to this point. 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMHfsOKzWz
“thank you again Sivir for guiding us back even though it was to take care of you I had you lead us back.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdmNRMe83f
“It was no trouble dame Cyable” said Sivir looking down to avoid the young mages eyes820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVBr7jqN0C
“Since we are all here I have something for you Uther I made it a while back when I was trying to learn the languages of the east” Cyable came out with a small capsule. Uther tilted his large head820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxTVTgCOBD
“This is a language capsule swallow it and give me a kiss” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80xNQ0ae2y
Sivir choked on one of the cookies she had been eating, she drained her tea in one gulp to clear her throat forgetting that it was hot and choking once more.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjWx6q5MsH
Cyable brought Sivir some water and patted the elf gently on the back when she had calmed down she continued820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMdUhwy8Aq
“The capsule is made that an oral exchange allows the taker of the pill to learn the language of the subject.” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqNFUSpxfU
“So that is why a kiss” said Tulcakelume nodding his head 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vUW79V2bv
“Loraaga seems to have understood this she was not surprised at all.” Said Cyable to Loraaga who had been silent the from the forest820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzry146QdOB
“Oh that is my fault, you may speak” said Tulcaklume 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfp6NBv4JP
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M366Cw0HY
“Finally you pompous pointy eared excuse for bi”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9P3aDODl1
“Be silence” said Tulcakelume cutting of Loraaga who was once again rendered speechless 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjnpPOYtFG
“You still have her under that spell” said Cyable820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu8CEKeIh2
“Yes its actually quite permanent as long as she and I are alive she will be under my control” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMKZ3AxQjp
Loraaga made a wordless shout, a mix of fear anger and confusion on her face.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUjG80rybw
“Why so surprised it’s not like you live that long to regret fifty to eighty years and its over”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYK8TzpXiJ
“That is quite cruel of you we have such short lives in your eyes and you would rob her freedom in that brief time” said Cyable 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItsJGKaHzJ
“Fine I shall undo the commands I have given and as long as she behaves I will not use any commands on her, though I must say I am interested to see how strong my control on her is” a glimmer in his eye820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1tvYZzlYn
Loraaga felt a chill run down her spine, what is the elf going to do to me she wondered 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pcdZR1xbi
“Do as you wish” said Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ2LGG5qls
“Ah...I can speak now” said Loraaga a slight hesitation in her voice820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt6B0lHFzq
“Yes for now, back to the topic at hand this medicine does it work” asked Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fsIJiQ6Qh
“Betri en buist, not only did I learn the language but it is permanent as well” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyCgV8lM4l
“I see impressive” said Loraaga “but why a kiss?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gb9eyVjdE
“Moving on” said Tulcakelume “I want to see if this will actually work “820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQTtAeWhoR
“As am I, I have never tried it on a none human before”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BiQryntGE
Cyable went to Uther who was sitting on his haunches and was still taller than the mage. She tipped and paused she realized she was not sure how to do this820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuAJjaVBu2
“Uther stick out your tongue”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQnv9YUMz1
Uther complied 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3lJCoZ4Qd
“Now swallow”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmdFQ1ozB8
Uther swallowed the pill on his tongue820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelCfYM3GUH
“Now give me a kiss”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvUzXUvcQq
Sivir stood up straight and watched intently blushing bright red.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY3cw3C9Te
Uther in one motion licked the mage from her chin to the top of her head at one point lifting the mage of the ground.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXeZFNyHod
“Well that was interesting” said Uther820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyktrRHAwp
This time it was Loraaga’s turn to choke 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJILE4S0LIb
“The bear it it talks” said Loraaga between breaths820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk1ma1tMZi
“Yes and quite well I must admit” said Uther 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFTgjTRQtw
Sivir was beside Cyable helping to clean of her face with a cloth.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs24rUbKUZc
“I am glad it works I need to make a note of this as well” said Cyable as she let herself be cleaned 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqjlvdZS0d
“What was a war bear like you doing in that forest?” asked Loraaga “a war bear is not seen only until an attack is to be made so why were you in this area?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG1bqDVFCN
“Yes you are correct and a nasty bit of business that is as well, I was part of a warband not a large group but reasonable about hundred strong, I was one of the thirty warbears that they had. The band was a group of deserters and rebels from one of the armies of the north, they had been looting and pillaging villages. One village they attacked was visited by a high elf. When we attacked the elf hit us warbears with some spell that increased our intellect.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx5ZMVvrWE
“So we turn on out masters and saved the village but most of us were killed the few of us survived went our separate ways I came to the forest here where I got lost and then I ran into you all.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxasev5ftz
“You have had a hard time until now Uther” said Cyable 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9enql54I9
“Not really until the spell I was perfectly fine and even after the forest provided food shelter and peace in a way, and now I have met you and I have a new master and a kind one as well.” Said Uther820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao80CX86LG
“You are a smooth talker for a bear” muttered Sivir820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f9gd5Su8y
“Fear not lady Sivir I have no intention of coming between you and”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtHW0Tykrh
“Wh wh what are you saying!” shouted Sivir surprising all in the room. Sivir looked around and tried to hide herself in her hood once again and moved back in to a corner of the room.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHvod6Su5v
“Well I know Sivir lives in the forest and you know I was looking for a herb to restore my magic, so may I inquire what Loraaga and priest Tulcakelume were doing in the forest.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VQbKfIdhC
“I was …hunting a bit” said Loraaga820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDQbfeiJZh
“I was sent here for enlightenment” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HpGbZdUqo
“What does that mean?” asked Loraaga 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMs5LS5jeM
“You will see soon enough since you are coming with me”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwyDl8mAoP
“Oh….wait What?!” exclaimed Loraaga820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv076lF4t7
“Well you are my servant as of recently so it’s no surprise you will follow me where I go”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEY3PsgObH
“But you said I was free!”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6GZq6bgyt
“I said I would not give you any commands but I never said you were free, after all the spell is permanent unless we someone strong enough is willing to help dispel it.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTMfaxATsF
“You” said Loraaga820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWZInTZPrc
“That is lord Tulcakelume to you”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImf6l6CjlI
“Ok that’s enough stop toying with her” said Cyable 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenmL4ZiYo5
“Fine I see you seem to have come to some understanding of me sage” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQSkvtQuSd
“Indeed you are not an evil person but you do have some dark shadows about you”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA7zZUrSbM
“He is the destroyer, he is evil he just hides it behind all the light of priesthood” said Sivir 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVprHjuflie
“Why do you call him that” asked Uther820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9RRgD0Rdw
“Yeah you said that in the forest too” said Loraaga820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzJvuJ5kPb
“Indeed I was concerned when I was bound that one of you was called destroyer” said Uther820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ914Df023vQ
“It is a rather ominous title” said Cyable820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvLdx0XZtp
“It should be I burned down one of these darklings forest seventy years ago during the last part of the war. I believe it was Sherent.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICj5pzIU7o
“You burnt down Sherent!!” exclaimed Cyable “that was one of the largest of the dark elves forest” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc7A8Kcahi
“Yes I was young and eager to test my power and make a name for myself amongst the elders so I went and burned it to the ground. It was to be one of my greatest achievements but I was too eager and well as you can see the forest is no more and has yet to begin to return. I spent the last 50 years trying to find a way to revive it.” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68zvt4Sc8X
“What of the elves of the forest” Loraaga asked820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcs5FNto3W
“Many were killed but most escaped, it was not a spell to kill them just to get them into the open to kill them, their natural magic is too powerful in the forest, and it would have taken us years to fight them.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvJyfkZ9LV
“You sound like you would have won from the beginning” said Loraaga820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s84VtE43h
“We would they were stubborn and refused to”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKMsHuDeXV
“Refused to submit to your rule to let you do as you wish with us and our homes or lives!” hissed Sivir820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG7Hp24aST
“Had you surrendered you would be free now and still have your precious forest” said Tulcakelume calmly820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw1cWF4Oox
“You monster!” said Sivir as she readied her bow 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah9UPgnG62
“Defend”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wNVJhz5DP
Loraaga jumped in front of Tulcakelume 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwOqgStPGM
“Whoops I am not to do that anymore, stand down Loraaga” said Tulcakelume “let me say this darkling before you go trying to kill me that this human here is linked to me if I die she dies820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpaIJ4cY0R
“WHAT!” Loraaga exclaimed820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke2thA1TdH
“Yes forgot to mention that well what do you say” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM4WXGH3eA
“She is one human” Sivir said as she pulled her bow back as far as she could820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsbfVvVjpA
“Sivir!” Cyable cried in surprise820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JrmnhcjPe
“Well darkling you are worse than me at least I did it during a war even tried to fix it, but you driven by anger and hate would kill an innocent even a human what would you do if it were Cyable shoot her first maybe” Tulcakelume asked 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPgDzzaFnE
“Enough!” Uther roared “I am the only beast here and you are all acting like animals, Tulcakelume I know you have no intention of letting anyone be harmed here but stop attacking lady Sivir because of some grudge from the past”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsvg2AqFpb
Tulcakelume raised his hands in mock defeat “to think taught civility by a beast” he said with a smile820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqiyI9SxeE
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo7UUfXMCz
“Lady Sivir do not take his taunts seriously he is not an evil man…mostly” said Uther820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPiXJszUls
Sivir lowered her bow “I am sorry Loraaga, I “820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vNZ4HqeLz
“No worries I am still in one piece and not filled with holes so all good” said Loraaga relieved the bow was no longer pointed at Tulcakelume and in extension her.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeGCMq01xG
“I had heard priests were the kindest and gentlest beings of this land second only to the fairies” said Cyable.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV5DOmkTA8
“Yes we all have exceptions, but indeed I have been rather cruel and I am sorry Ms. Sivir”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E2CE6cGyg
For a moment the room was silent all were shocked by this apology.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJZu5yIuU4
Clearing her throat Cyable asked now that we have all calmed down maybe I can ask she thought820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vweP6Mb8S
“I would like to ask for your help in searching for a herb to make a potion to restore my magic”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboXLhgY0xS
“Fine we will go with you” said Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj43QQrS6g1
“Whose we?” asked Loraaga820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YbnKSFjRm
“Why we is you and I after all what servant would leave her master alone and unarmed in a forest” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtAqvg6kDZ
“I am going to get you for this one day” she muttered820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOA6GHEOeA
“Uther you can rest here you had a terrible day and”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7MctxaoFf
“I am fine dame Cyable I am a war bear after all I would be honored to go as well as Miss Sivir”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs97qI3ePE
“Is that true Sivir?” Cyable asked 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIg6LNpC68
Sivir nodded in response. 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblnJJsMyYf
“Thank you all! When we get back I shall make you dinner a feast?” said Cyable cheerfully820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH2vsPlCUb
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq718sFxc7k
Back in the forest the party moves Loraaga clearing a path in front of Tulcakelume, Cyable followed by Uther keeping a watchful eye on the mage and listening to the surroundings. Sivir was in the trees moving from tree to tree in the canopy leading the party from above.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC79Q24KC6e
“Let us rest for a while” said Tulcakelume 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx76hrKSpj
“Tired already master Tulca” asked Loraaga mockingly820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguJUtlLmLL
“No but you and lady Cyable are”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrKpS6GdNc
“I am fine Tulcakelume” said Cyable820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7DB3R3n79
“I agree with Tulcakelume” added Uther “Your steps have been uneasy for the last league and you are carrying that heavy weapon and those robes, it would worry Ms. Sivir greatly if you were to collapse.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLppRI0lRc6
“Fine, thank you I shall take up your offer.” Cyable said while resting against Uther.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEmAb2gDUa
“Sivir come down Sivir”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCungM000hr
From the trees came a soft pat the sound of Sivir gently landing nearby. As she approached, Tulcakelume asked820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvnAAKvbtR
“Are there any animals nearby?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPoZ32ezEX
“No they have all scattered”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIMJY115F4
“Good” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRXnAU066t
With a move of his hand they began to glow and with the lowering the trees plants leaves and debris in a perfect circle blew away leaving a clearing where the party stood.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg5GKVWVjf
“Now we rest” he said820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYlHXZIt8Y
“You can do that and you had me cutting branches and vines for you the whole time.” Said Loraaga 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyxGQNXay7
“Yes I did but if you are mad be mad at the darkling who can command the vines themselves” said Tulcakelume enjoying himself820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y3AlVo0HT
Loraaga looked at Sivir who quickly looked away820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByrp87k7k6
“Sivir, you could do that the whole time?” asked Loraaga a angry vein on her forehead throbbing 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNbAJAjDIG
“Yes but natural magics are not to be used trivially, as my mother taught me” said Sivir still not meeting Loraaga’s eyes 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02ZSoUelTq
“Tell that to all these scratches and cut and I am pretty sure I have a few branches wedged in me all over” said a defeated Loraaga820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcIMziTPCk
“I always wonder how you humans moved everywhere with that armor and soft skin but I see you are rather resilient creatures” said Uther shaking of leaves from his body 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0iqmq240P
“Though I am glad to have my fur”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3VXO3kjVt
“Come here” said Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRxQMXS1YP
Loraaga shuffled tiredly over to Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjieTufW9Cn
“What master” asked Loraaga820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzVNJa1CLT
He placed a hand on Loraaga she felt a tingle and realized that all the scrapes and bruises on her had healed and she was feeling less exhausted 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1DJIyleWV
“Thank you master…Stop making me call you master!!”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR6Jq3FSxJ
Tulcakelume laughed “I have not had this much fun in years since ahh I can’t remember”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGLV8qxXOm
Still rubbing the spots that no longer itched or ached Loraaga looked at Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHrfc30b8Z
“Didn’t you say you would stop controlling me” she pressed820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDuSGJQxqA
“And I have for the most part, I have not given you any orders except to clear a path for us”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nedC8ASeD
Loraaga looked stunned 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONV62xAx1l
“Indeed Tulcakelume has not given you any orders since we left the house” said Cyable820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLRcW6UiOw
“Exactly lady Cyable, he did not stop the earlier command to have her call him master” said Sivir820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GOXG6ytjw
“Remove the command master!” said Loraaga 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B4vfj4ofV
“Indeed Tulcakelume, remove the command it must be terrible being controlled” said Cyable820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNmUSRFepf
“Call Cyable great sage” said Tulcakelume with a smile820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXVk7E3Rdb
“Great Sage Cyable stop him” Loraaga said820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXBtKcfz2d
Cyable had a look of pure bliss on her face820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTgQ6NikuI
“….Great Sage Cyable?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpMOqxdkKP
“Maybe it’s not so bad to leave things as they are for a little longer” said Cyable still glowing820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN74kFjvPM
Sivir and Uther looked at each other slightly confused and looked back at the sage who was glowing.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwa8r2XQcb
Loraaga sat down and gave up 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hfazrLbfr
“I think you should get some sleep Loraaga” said Tulcakelume 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJKLsfLxwH
With a sigh Loraaga lay down to sleep820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah6sNofAA8
After a few minutes if silence 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7CTpyKWs6
“I think I will turn in for the night as well” said Cyable 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukom3Vnb8Z
“If you do not mind fur I can offer you a warm place to sleep as well” said Uther as he lay on his stomach 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZPeiUxBo8
“Thank you Uther, Sivir would you like to join us”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Q4oKqS2v
Unable to speak the dark elf pulled her hood over her face and nodded820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoobg6OIcHL
“If you do not mind would you let Loraaga sleep with you as well” asked Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ELWdGBAep
“I am big enough for all” 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh8OtP0zMN
Nodding Tulcakelume gently and swiftly scooped up the sleeping fighter and placed her on the side of Uther beside Cyable who carefully laid Loraaga’s head against Uther.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDTfP2BwUU
“Is it alright for us to be taking this break after all I am taking up your time?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgDJhk03LN
Cyable was cut off by Tulcakelume who raised a hand820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIcXsahhy3
“Haste in this forest will only lead to misfortune” said Sivir820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Apq26GzdZ
Cyable smiled and nodded gratitude then rested her head against Uther who was already asleep. The gentle rise and fall of his massive being breathing gently lulled Cyable to sleep. Sivir watched the sleeping sage for a while before also drifting off to sleep.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxNVvYctzk
When all had fallen asleep Tulcakelume moved over to the fire and began to think about the past few days.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMrDfbXg0S
In less than a month he had met two humans, a warbear and a dark elf he had learned much that was not noted in the libraries of the high elves. He had learned of the results of spell on war beast and the still simmering grudge of the dark elves, he had also found that binding a human to his will was far easier than he had expected and that not all humans were greedy untrustworthy beings bent on conquest. Still in the time he has been with his new found companions he was not able to comprehend why the elders had sent him to this forest. Did they predict this meeting, was it a test to see if he could survive in the forest. Well for the moment he could find no threat in his companions even the dark elf though she was still suspicious and cautious of him she seemed more concerned with the young mage. Once more he understood why Uther was or should be attached to Cyable but the darkling, yes she was helped but this devotion is unusual and for an elf to be this devote to a human is unheard of.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuP1pGs6xd
Tulcakelume looked behind him to see Loraaga stirring in her sleep, he had seen this before when the fighter slept she would soon start to thrash about and sweat profusely signs of a nightmare a trauma that runs deep, though it would be a short while before Tulcakelume would learn the cause, he had found that holding her hand calmed her completely by accident. 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwRti405SO
Two nights ago as the others slept Tulcakelume had been awoken by the sounds of struggle he moved to see what it was the source of the sound was Loraaga thrashing wildly on a bed of leaves mumbling Sivir was watching as well but was not sure what to do. Tulcakelume had gone close to hear what she was saying when he attempted to place a hand on the fighter’s head she held it and clung to Tulcakelume and her thrashing stopped and her breathing became rhythmic and relaxed. Tulcakelume knew the symptoms of this from victims of war and horrible crimes. He would stay with her for the rest of the night.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8MeV4L13t
“Is she possessed?” Sivir asked Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMAeH6vk2d
“In a sense yes, she is haunted by something from her past. I do not know what but it must have been terrible for her.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnugq3Luj3U
“Is there a way to help her?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74H5yXBDnQ
“Do you still remember why you distrust me?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXbKlG4sv8
“You burned down my home and killed my people”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2gDUs0g7S
“Are you able to forget?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MuPZtJwrA
“I will never forget”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmQiYfFpgT
“That is the same for this one here”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tqo5pK4xh
Sivir and Tulcakelume were silent for a time, the silence was broken by Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwAkAR5QbI
“When she rises I will ask her what”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga5YLsLhPV
“I do not think you should interfere you have already enslaved her I don’t think she wants you in her past as well” said Sivir820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtfbHQVdAF
“The sooner I know the sooner I can make her forget”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZwIc0tziS
“You high elves think you have the right to tamper with the minds of others, is nothing sacred to you” snapped Sivir820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLV6eJRAt5
“Would you rather see her tear herself apart every night instead darkling”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJenwD2C5oN
“I never, no but this is her trial not our”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL8wwCTKQE
“I believe it would be better to wait till she brings it up herself” said Uther 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2STKY9s5i
“Did we wake you Uther my apologies” said Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFBqZzEF86
“I have been awake from Loraaga started to moan, I covered dame Cyable’s ears when Sivir moved” said Uther820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkYidkwJ9c
“So you think we should leave her be as well Uther” asked Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtqQVJI9Yd
“For the moment you seem to have her calmed, I agree with Sivir but I also agree with you. I believe we should wait and if this continues then we ask” said Uther820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZRY3NWqTL
Sivir nodded 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8f5XdoNOy
“Very well, Sivir might I ask you to take over watch I seem to be restrained” said Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBLM9mCQsG
Sivir nodded once more820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM5Wsd5ta5
With a chant a tree root raised to support Tulcakelume’s back as he was held by Loraaga820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOFTDt0pOf
“…Thank you”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57ZbdLMo4c
“I did it for the human” said Sivir820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vppO7EzP5
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxX96LAVMp
Now again he finds Loraaga in the throes of a nightmare once more Tulcakelume embraces her and holds her firmly. The thrashing calmed.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVMm5X3los
When morning came Loraaga found herself once more in the arms of her master, two nights ago she had jumped from his arms shouting what had he done. This time after she instead relaxed in stayed where she was for a few more minutes.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rXr4y5XG4
“How do you feel this morning” Tulcakelume asked820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhk4gQTTdo
“Y y you knew I was awake” she stammered820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1YH6hwNyF
“Yes I can tell the difference in your breathing, I am glad you have controlled yourself this morning.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPZcQbQNCd
Loraaga quickly got to her feet820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg9XpOdh0c
“I’m gonna get some eats…y you want any” she asked timidly820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16HbcdJfAZ
What is wrong with me, he knows I have nightmares and every morning for the last 3 days I wake up in his arms… and I don’t mind it, I don’t mind it at all. Loraaga cursed herself as she waited for Tulcakelume’s answer820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOgxdpdN8o
Tulcakelume had also noticed changes in her behavior, in the mornings when she wakes she is timid almost defenseless. Was this a reaction to the nightmares, was her mind weakening? He wondered.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB9wPAO6d8

Cyable was sitting on her robe spread over a blanket of leaves, Sivir was sleeping peacefully her head on Cyable’s lap, the mage gently stroking her hear, she looked up to see Loraaga and  Tulcakelume .820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQukwtYIUA
“Good morning. I hope you slept well Sivir has just gone to sleep and Uther went to catch something for breakfast. Can I ask you to start a fire for me, when Uther gets back I will cook breakfast.” She said820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpwKSrgTBf
As she was talking Sivir rolled over half asleep she hugged Cyable820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7tXhPAETw
“Sivir dear are you alright”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPspVUit2B
Sivir mumbles something before resting her head on Cyable’s chest and falling back to sleep820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9tCDnkrXr
“I think it would be better if we made breakfast” said Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpr5qosLWe
“What are you going to make” she asked820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQC5dxEMHz
“I have no idea I have never cooked before” said Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHjzc72673
Loraaga and Cyable looked at each other 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL0Zp2IOJG
“Loraaga could you”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR3411aabI
“Yeah I’ll do it”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitMWXxvUw0
“I am a genius” said Tulcakelume820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs8Wd93idB
“And cooking is an art” said Cyable820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTag9shyiQ6

The morning continued as normal Uther came back with 3 small birds and an unusually large boar. Loraaga prepared the meal leaving most of the boar for Uther. Sivir ate little she preferred to have certain herbs and shrooms that grew in the forest. Cyable ate part of one of the birds and some of Sivir’s shrooms which she said she had heard was a delicacy in a place to the east. Loraaga ate one whole bird with as much grace as Uther and his boar. Tulcakelume ate part of one of the birds with a knife and fork on a plate all summoned with magic.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzZyywlKNy
The search for the herb continued this unusual group found that they got along very well for a group made under these unusual circumstances.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACH0tJCPhg

Cyable noted in her notes it has been a month and two days since I have met my companions the agile and ever vigilant night elf Sivir the kind and civil bear Uther. I also have spent time with the high elf Tulcakelume he is a strange person not evil but with a dark sense of humor. The fighter Loraaga, she is an unusual one I know little about her except that she has had a past full of adventure and uncertainty.                            Teachers have always said I am too trusting but I feel that these people are safe.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgONbGCgYvm
