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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xx2R0y8tM
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. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrJrVoxFCo
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86autQ5YQ0

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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfDaMYXUUk
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWhtG7tymI

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. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tE9mV6Oe9

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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6pJk3A5YR

In the hall of the high elf priesthood Tulcakelume stands before the leaders of the order.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZTqOwXp0D
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. “728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUas1T2Ef5
Many things happen High Priest said Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8134mVWthu
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8EZqYMj4u
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”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMLpPrwycy
‘Indeed you have guided them to that which is need to topple us’ whispered Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNvAeGD0hs
‘What was that’ asked the High Priest of the South. “We maybe old but these ears are a blessing of the goddess”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tKa8Leqb7
“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.”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ2y1nWCXb
“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”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LnTF03rUQ
“Foreign? I was there when we quelled the human wars I was there when we fought the Dark Elves back to their forests”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAcaJwBHSA
“You also burned a large portion of the forest” said the High Priest of the West.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol2OOho9fx
“That was an accident I was young” retorted Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLqFBgz3PO
“But you did not try to stop the flames either” said the high Priest of the North728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnS6kPFdAD
“We were fighting them” Tulcakelume said728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowOxJlzuTU
“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”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtfkyWBp7g
“Who are you calling elfling” shot Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm3uuvkfdi
“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 North728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88o7Nwiyfw
“What is that supposed to teach me?”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SXC3tKVIQ
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. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93yRtnh5Bj
“Always playing around those old hats” thought Tulcakelume. “Where am I?”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhaAeih9LM
“What the hell was that!?”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFpkneQVrp
Turning towards where the shout came from Tulcakelume there sat and angry Loraaga, less sat more bowled over.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gbudO3sNY
“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 Loraaga728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm0QxPVXhC
“What seems to be the problem human” said Tulcakelume icily “I have no time for your short lived troubles, where am I”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPP4Lmsj9f
“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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCEXARAvK9
Stepping back Tulcakelume evade the attack effortlessly 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5PFtDEEWn
“Do not touch me you filthy little brute” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FvUZ0jMeX
“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.”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWGsbORQz7
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8nAfd56ZI
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. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWPNXB6rF0
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw7jFaYPkv
Tulcakelume moved left and right as if dancing dodging the punches of Loraaga.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYXfIk6ekN
“Do you not grow tired of this pointless aggression” asked Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSFAHq8Qla
“Then stop moving and let me hit you” retorted Loraaga 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjgO25h7e6
“Would it not be better for you to draw your weapon” asked Tulcakelume 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgIdiKSZHz
“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”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEJFSBp8E4
Sigh “she is an interesting being if she were not human she would be an honorable addition to the guard’ thought Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS6fAMNnZq
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. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xcvRfoIK1
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. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyOPmWx5gy
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 relief728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZHWJG32EQ
…thank the goddess” she whispered.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipPey0jKeL
“What the hell is a Hellvan war bear doing in the forest” asked Loraaga as she got to her feet728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUwcdk0wrF
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.”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVTGrQm7A5
“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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLSUpipVMA
“Cloak of nature magic is it not very good but impressive she can use it.” Thought Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKBhIv15z2
Tulcakelume steadied Loraaga who was still slightly shaken from the blow from the beast. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL55Syu4yKT
“T thank you” she mumbled embarrassed at receiving help from her opponent.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnj8LsLlY0
“Thank you all for!” stumbling over still not quite composed after having run in her already tired state as she tumbled she righted herself. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiUCdLBy31
“Thank you for saving me” she said728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6dRqyho0w
“Thank the human and the darkling over there for saving you!” said holding Loraaga and motioning to the dark elf hiding in the leaves.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dIiou8UQc
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lhqNSy7XX
“I can breathe again” said as she stepped out of the pile of heavy robes at her feet.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6ZU45CX9e
“Why do you wear those robes if you have no magic?” asked Tulcakelume 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAzLJ7h9Hw
“How did you know I did not have magic!?” asked a clearly shocked Cyable 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOQaqPGrU8
“If you had magic those robes would be as comfortable as you desire and as light” said Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF2tf1oBeu
“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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAx0IPvvhI
“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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5QIvSW7z8
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 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMZvg43SwD
“Stop Destroyer!!” shouted Sivir coming from behind her cover of leaves bow drawn and trained on the high elf.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTmkblUwHO
“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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpaJOjMSWk
The glowing of Tulcakelume’s hand grew brighter “a darkling points a weapon at me well that cannot be allowed.”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VCF8aWAIQ
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDy0atb9Qe
Cyable ran in between the two elves 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyswME6IqDz
“Wait wait!! There is no reason for violence between one another over a bear that is of no threat to us”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJHUEtPuLl
“This is not about the bear anymore this is about a darkling threatening a high elf priest” said Tulcakelume 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpgUUue5CV
Cyable moved closer to Sivir “what would the council of high elves say about a high elf threatening a human.”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d3I8j7ZbG
Loraaga bumped into Tulcakelume who placed a glowing hand on her 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7WhTxymSl
“Who is threatening “728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa5aV6E5Qt
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. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCSQu7Kbij
What the hell was that!” Loraaga shouted728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7WrATrx8s
“How is your leg?”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47chw68oUU
“My wha hey it feels great” said Loraaga728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJfjSvYK7r
“Good well now that we are all happy I am Findecano Tulcakelume of the High Elf Priesthood who are all of you”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWe3gAygRE
“Loraaga, Loraaga Tarmikos”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFJyPjXRf3
“I am Cyable Ceres of the Ferradas magical academy”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7KJc0Mhtp
“And what of you darkling you could pry yourself from the human to tell us your name” asked Tulcakelume.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg76yiGtc6
To Cyable’s embarrassment she had the small dark elf buried in her ample chest, she released the elf 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeox1V7KXV
“I am so sorry are you alright” asked Cyable728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnVlQAAg2q
“I I am fine” stuttered the elf728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3oIFyYxWs
Dark as her skin was she could not hide her blushing face, drawing her green hood over her face 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZQzqZeLyV
“I am Sivir of the Forest” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUy5Iu6myO
“Of the forest?” wondered Loraaga 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCnOehMlTl
“Yes of the forest hum...Loraaga, darklings take their names from the forests that they live in” said Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSZNw4qn24
“Now that we are all acquainted what shall be done about the bear” asked Loraaga 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E7kFkQfyt
“Indeed it is a powerful beast to survive that blast and keep going” said Cyable 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwnIdtFs06
That was you but I thought Tul said you couldn’t use magic” said Loraaga rubbing her leg still surprised it felt so normal 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9rSy5e3Ey
Cyable walked over to her robes and picked them up she pulled out one of the vials similar to the one she had earlier. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCHwEAaER9
These are magic crystalized I would not venture into the forest completely unarmed”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQDTy9ESky
“So you carry around bombs with you?” asked Loraaga728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeboPFOaK1
“They are perfectly safe these vials are very strong see” Cyable holds up a clearly cracked vial 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqt00ZBIP3
Loraaga backed away “I see”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2WAeBM9Wj
Clearing his throat “the bear” Tulcakelume muttered728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UAdDVl8Kg
“Leave the bear it means no harm it was only just escaped from a warband and was cautious it means us no harm” said Sivir728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGwytvFgTx
“It just tried to eat Cyable” countered Loraaga728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmpnx9eyqd
“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.”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqebyWHEsh
“Will it try to eat me again if we free it” asked Cyable728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0qJic359q
“You intend to free this beast again?” asked Tulcakelume with a look of something less than frustration maybe curiosity728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHlTdhBXz7
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 Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekGS6ZBkYU
“It will not attack us” said Sivir728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemdyEOLaVh
Cyable took a step towards the bear728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5XgBE9CKH
“I think we should let it go it only attacked because I tried to kill it”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7JG3cyoN0
“It attacked you” said Loraaga 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrf22hWT6h
“I shall have the forest release it” said Sivir 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOBYaRVQRF
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQhLtuZzj8
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 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TZjq3ltVn
“What are you doing it’s gonna kill er!!”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPFrWZKPyx
“It’s alright look” said Tulcakelum728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjzVk9pExk
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFpA1gtLWr
“Calm down” giggled Cyable as the fur tickled her thighs arms and midriff.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY5spYZqfj
“It will stay wishes to help you and...” Sivir blushed “will you be his mate”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM5WkrO6Rb
“I am happy to accept its help but we barely know each other to be intimate” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk8mTzRlyY
“This one is might be some kinda freak” thought Tulcakelume and Loraaga 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTi9zChC9d
Sivir was blushing even brighter.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OLnpdJtrL
“Well now that that’s over I will be on my way.” Said Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pizHsxHWB
“Wait a minute you we still have a score to settle” said Loraaga728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcinb84wS8
“Really? I thought it was already settle since this incident saved you “said Tulcakelume still walking away 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9o5aDcdRH
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 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv7klDfuCB
“What are you doing to her” yelled Cyable 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQLSK0OqfO
The bear and Sivir taking defensive positions in front of the scantily clad mage.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDigCPVOsjx
“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 absentmindedly728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL55WOFmkK
“I have no idea where you learned that but that is wrong even warriors choose death over slavery” said Loraaga standing up728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14BKD1rjPW
“Sit” said Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr3yb6n8Qg
Loraaga sat 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzF3PVyIKf
“Still works” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLctgTWsx6
“Stop that” Loraaga yelled “I am not your slave you never beat me”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y7aYwOVYm
“Me having my hand on your head is enough to warrant a defeat, now be silent”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbIMr1Qlwn
“This is why high elves cannot be trusted “said Sivir readying an arrow728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPfKI3s5r3
“Wait Sivir you too bear” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmil4pKpeP
“He says his name is Uther” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNr9By8Hio
“Oh Uther, Sivir stop I don’t want any fighting” said Cyable728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu41VT3XNSY
Uther moved back closer to Cyable and Sivir lowered her bow slowly728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKumvf9waP
“There is no reason to enslave anyone her Tulcakelume.” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TYFYHzn30
“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 Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnriL9nhost
“What are you talking about?” said Cyable a confused look on her face728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUWZtDW5ti
“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 Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oT3uJm5gu
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 away728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzZ8vjT0ay
Cyable went over to Sivir and placed a hand on the elf’s forehead 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonLr36P0MU
“You are sick you have a fever we must get back to the academy “728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMkRSB0vk7
“I I I am fine” whispered Sivir728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCbCufguXB
“Nonsense we will go to the academy all of us” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIPypjcho4
Shrugging Tulcakelume agreed 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlpVZDwIIg
“Now how do we get out of this forest?” asked Cyable728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4hUMnYYlI
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgzfFmqhNE
“…….”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIbw8Q2Mqm
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISQFJoW0BO
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. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKlwq5EM7b
“thank you again Sivir for guiding us back even though it was to take care of you I had you lead us back.”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoBQXnb5um
“It was no trouble dame Cyable” said Sivir looking down to avoid the young mages eyes728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO42DGssaw
“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 head728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v62ivzWsY

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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhooy2Xp9kr
Cyable brought Sivir some water and patted the elf gently on the back when she had calmed down she continued728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXNsF7e2O6
“The capsule is made that an oral exchange allows the taker of the pill to learn the language of the subject.” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWpURVFVif
“So that is why a kiss” said Tulcakelume nodding his head 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WzzIPpO9S
“Loraaga seems to have understood this she was not surprised at all.” Said Cyable to Loraaga who had been silent the from the forest728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZDlGM39Oe
“Oh that is my fault, you may speak” said Tulcaklume 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXuAkTtl58
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RGFtYw1ax
“Finally you pompous pointy eared excuse for bi”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLu1hmayp8
“Be silence” said Tulcakelume cutting of Loraaga who was once again rendered speechless 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgEUNyXqd1
“You still have her under that spell” said Cyable728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdcRSxQhNq
“Yes its actually quite permanent as long as she and I are alive she will be under my control” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIN4ymCETo
Loraaga made a wordless shout, a mix of fear anger and confusion on her face.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pToxGO7Ph
“Why so surprised it’s not like you live that long to regret fifty to eighty years and its over”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJGT2KJAVz
“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 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTEoWGB3VY
“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 eye728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiZe9QOdhY
Loraaga felt a chill run down her spine, what is the elf going to do to me she wondered 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdtJW7ymX6
“Do as you wish” said Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHGPkQIr1D
“Ah...I can speak now” said Loraaga a slight hesitation in her voice728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1QE89iCtn
“Yes for now, back to the topic at hand this medicine does it work” asked Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGULMKwcFM5
“Betri en buist, not only did I learn the language but it is permanent as well” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqnKzrjDlH
“I see impressive” said Loraaga “but why a kiss?”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol2to01nad
“Moving on” said Tulcakelume “I want to see if this will actually work “728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcTSF8V7lk
“As am I, I have never tried it on a none human before”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CPXCrRafq
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 this728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvTkknnFQY
“Uther stick out your tongue”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VTQbgmiZo
Uther complied 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFH4ldhzxn
“Now swallow”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZebLAAatxO
Uther swallowed the pill on his tongue728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP4piRSWBB
“Now give me a kiss”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VZine5Y5s
Sivir stood up straight and watched intently blushing bright red.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNgsMLnViT
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRNEtBPCsw
“Well that was interesting” said Uther728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVNto5mmg5
This time it was Loraaga’s turn to choke 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TBGAOapRJ
“The bear it it talks” said Loraaga between breaths728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd71AGBKAF
“Yes and quite well I must admit” said Uther 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L5ASKZA4x
Sivir was beside Cyable helping to clean of her face with a cloth.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5o5mPS3Oz
“I am glad it works I need to make a note of this as well” said Cyable as she let herself be cleaned 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfhkQDUgAr
“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?”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMtTZhvXdW
“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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlPST6vWSi
“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.”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr657rqDOx7
“You have had a hard time until now Uther” said Cyable 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZjdh1YeXP
“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 Uther728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxcvdejoWq
“You are a smooth talker for a bear” muttered Sivir728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUr4BXtZYF
“Fear not lady Sivir I have no intention of coming between you and”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeivNWHg4re
“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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaGajPgY5H
“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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4dtwxE66g
“I was …hunting a bit” said Loraaga728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89bNrHWLUW
“I was sent here for enlightenment” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCRzLZnZzS
“What does that mean?” asked Loraaga 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9iodEwUms
“You will see soon enough since you are coming with me”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wwe9pZ901
“Oh….wait What?!” exclaimed Loraaga728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqbrIpUnOy
“Well you are my servant as of recently so it’s no surprise you will follow me where I go”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQMAx3zq6f
“But you said I was free!”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vQbm7HfDe
“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.”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWiWgeJyOd
“You” said Loraaga728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOGKfri7ww
“That is lord Tulcakelume to you”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagff4Clcuz
“Ok that’s enough stop toying with her” said Cyable 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzoUFwJ1Ae
“Fine I see you seem to have come to some understanding of me sage” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYrs3cQwOs
“Indeed you are not an evil person but you do have some dark shadows about you”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfcGAP7uH1
“He is the destroyer, he is evil he just hides it behind all the light of priesthood” said Sivir 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcNQEdA82A
“Why do you call him that” asked Uther728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWTRydZkUI
“Yeah you said that in the forest too” said Loraaga728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFI4m1QgJs
“Indeed I was concerned when I was bound that one of you was called destroyer” said Uther728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxPiPqvHDf
“It is a rather ominous title” said Cyable728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPpM8Khgvm
“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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8xSpqSCIF
“You burnt down Sherent!!” exclaimed Cyable “that was one of the largest of the dark elves forest” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EGdtySbPN
“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.” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz7ysjSqku
“What of the elves of the forest” Loraaga asked728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxoqHEuo7Y
“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.”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9Vnoyuqmr
“You sound like you would have won from the beginning” said Loraaga728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ulAhtqjPH
“We would they were stubborn and refused to”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuHWb3c84d
“Refused to submit to your rule to let you do as you wish with us and our homes or lives!” hissed Sivir728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMgQUFNLNI
“Had you surrendered you would be free now and still have your precious forest” said Tulcakelume calmly728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm8z43WE44
“You monster!” said Sivir as she readied her bow 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KvNtjbKld
“Defend”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyaNAc76Vo
Loraaga jumped in front of Tulcakelume 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcihaawS0Ht
“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 dies728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMtMHgBz6U
“WHAT!” Loraaga exclaimed728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfCFQVYmqt
“Yes forgot to mention that well what do you say” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWQ47SgmDK
“She is one human” Sivir said as she pulled her bow back as far as she could728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxpp11XePh
“Sivir!” Cyable cried in surprise728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObpmopgL1V
“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 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE6bdlTPOL
“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”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUpJwO8ymE
Tulcakelume raised his hands in mock defeat “to think taught civility by a beast” he said with a smile728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rO53sqPtL
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4szbVaLLn
“Lady Sivir do not take his taunts seriously he is not an evil man…mostly” said Uther728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6jfME0L2W
Sivir lowered her bow “I am sorry Loraaga, I “728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlktJ7OlHx
“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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnT3hr08OH
“I had heard priests were the kindest and gentlest beings of this land second only to the fairies” said Cyable.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8QNwGmWur
“Yes we all have exceptions, but indeed I have been rather cruel and I am sorry Ms. Sivir”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiWtEKRj4U
For a moment the room was silent all were shocked by this apology.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJQaGrNjSS
Clearing her throat Cyable asked now that we have all calmed down maybe I can ask she thought728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8qadQvsvN
“I would like to ask for your help in searching for a herb to make a potion to restore my magic”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAlm4ACGwZ
“Fine we will go with you” said Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcGqTXl90F
“Whose we?” asked Loraaga728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoCcNNLDXA
“Why we is you and I after all what servant would leave her master alone and unarmed in a forest” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgLy1CaXiu
“I am going to get you for this one day” she muttered728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMNkPJfwo8
“Uther you can rest here you had a terrible day and”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmO6qiRvHI
“I am fine dame Cyable I am a war bear after all I would be honored to go as well as Miss Sivir”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcoolm7PDb
“Is that true Sivir?” Cyable asked 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu2ermBqob
Sivir nodded in response. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQnOUDOtF9
“Thank you all! When we get back I shall make you dinner a feast?” said Cyable cheerfully728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8oaSt1hYP
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21cDOcZCrb
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn1VTuFq8B
“Let us rest for a while” said Tulcakelume 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeOuO4c5pQ
“Tired already master Tulca” asked Loraaga mockingly728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4Dz0mDdhk
“No but you and lady Cyable are”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGGP8MT46z
“I am fine Tulcakelume” said Cyable728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLUoqOiNvF
“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.”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrWOa9uzGt
“Fine, thank you I shall take up your offer.” Cyable said while resting against Uther.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzomDzkUhK
“Sivir come down Sivir”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8lusZUB6B
From the trees came a soft pat the sound of Sivir gently landing nearby. As she approached, Tulcakelume asked728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINB5r4jako
“Are there any animals nearby?”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG6WudLrJg
“No they have all scattered”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlgYRqu1kQ
“Good” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3yQqIDXv3
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjWTwdw2Bv
“Now we rest” he said728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqjsSZ1WHh
“You can do that and you had me cutting branches and vines for you the whole time.” Said Loraaga 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckjysSYfEt
“Yes I did but if you are mad be mad at the darkling who can command the vines themselves” said Tulcakelume enjoying himself728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMlo0PtwaA
Loraaga looked at Sivir who quickly looked away728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbXzQRC43L
“Sivir, you could do that the whole time?” asked Loraaga a angry vein on her forehead throbbing 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlifD45hDf9
“Yes but natural magics are not to be used trivially, as my mother taught me” said Sivir still not meeting Loraaga’s eyes 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpew8lo93lR
“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 Loraaga728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuAZvZH1Y8
“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 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TTwzOPFjv
“Though I am glad to have my fur”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl384D8GkH
“Come here” said Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicZJbOQHgp
Loraaga shuffled tiredly over to Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9csXgTVFpr
“What master” asked Loraaga728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sDNIU9y2F
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 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWTSPDMZX7
“Thank you master…Stop making me call you master!!”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkgeRUb70X
Tulcakelume laughed “I have not had this much fun in years since ahh I can’t remember”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRIwWSq2sq
Still rubbing the spots that no longer itched or ached Loraaga looked at Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAmYqvLpNi
“Didn’t you say you would stop controlling me” she pressed728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLoFmEB6qK
“And I have for the most part, I have not given you any orders except to clear a path for us”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV27KjDHrAZ
Loraaga looked stunned 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLie08aAb2
“Indeed Tulcakelume has not given you any orders since we left the house” said Cyable728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5ubaiMFo7
“Exactly lady Cyable, he did not stop the earlier command to have her call him master” said Sivir728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5YpvbWqWe
“Remove the command master!” said Loraaga 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rafn4Q1Mk
“Indeed Tulcakelume, remove the command it must be terrible being controlled” said Cyable728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvkiV2p4LH
“Call Cyable great sage” said Tulcakelume with a smile728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEe5hu3GHA
“Great Sage Cyable stop him” Loraaga said728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGRrMH8T0o
Cyable had a look of pure bliss on her face728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjexUvzyh6
“….Great Sage Cyable?”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dKb0mpkZ4
“Maybe it’s not so bad to leave things as they are for a little longer” said Cyable still glowing728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJFk55Xf3m
Sivir and Uther looked at each other slightly confused and looked back at the sage who was glowing.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrG7XSvVpd
Loraaga sat down and gave up 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntHcUchWQk
“I think you should get some sleep Loraaga” said Tulcakelume 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAWvlL1lVD
With a sigh Loraaga lay down to sleep728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNsGnLEyOR
After a few minutes if silence 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvP53wNaTv
“I think I will turn in for the night as well” said Cyable 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcR57Vgsbn
“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 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9Cet0vHNC
“Thank you Uther, Sivir would you like to join us”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oWtOFAsTI
Unable to speak the dark elf pulled her hood over her face and nodded728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrZeH603de
“If you do not mind would you let Loraaga sleep with you as well” asked Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCmyPlp0Tm
“I am big enough for all” 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQGn0T0LGh
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFCpMTewN4
“Is it alright for us to be taking this break after all I am taking up your time?”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSpkBoIzTh
Cyable was cut off by Tulcakelume who raised a hand728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjGJbF7xiw
“Haste in this forest will only lead to misfortune” said Sivir728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ0wAVFAhV
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5IvGOn5q5
When all had fallen asleep Tulcakelume moved over to the fire and began to think about the past few days.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi7fD23AgX
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpewAcKfIq1
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. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRfSLdUQeo
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaNpgXHUBe
“Is she possessed?” Sivir asked Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1InYHAIcS
“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.”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCgrxv0YYd
“Is there a way to help her?”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsru9MdvK16
“Do you still remember why you distrust me?”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNkqsU0x9i
“You burned down my home and killed my people”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhO5bAiSH4
“Are you able to forget?”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq7PNENI1R
“I will never forget”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgekuCsTcgw
“That is the same for this one here”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1fCa0Ew7S
Sivir and Tulcakelume were silent for a time, the silence was broken by Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxHoRBJ892
“When she rises I will ask her what”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6nZew3uF5
“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 Sivir728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6GcB9Wtrd
“The sooner I know the sooner I can make her forget”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQO0AOXkbT
“You high elves think you have the right to tamper with the minds of others, is nothing sacred to you” snapped Sivir728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBLrirjquv
“Would you rather see her tear herself apart every night instead darkling”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT1RLgW04J
“I never, no but this is her trial not our”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0B3CnnvGL
“I believe it would be better to wait till she brings it up herself” said Uther 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8eynLzrp5
“Did we wake you Uther my apologies” said Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeuUC92241
“I have been awake from Loraaga started to moan, I covered dame Cyable’s ears when Sivir moved” said Uther728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxpRwhHOF2
“So you think we should leave her be as well Uther” asked Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nkBw0nMWI
“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 Uther728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyH9F7hvdk
Sivir nodded 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYWi6J8M0S
“Very well, Sivir might I ask you to take over watch I seem to be restrained” said Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2ELudwEYZ
Sivir nodded once more728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuVx3OBF85
With a chant a tree root raised to support Tulcakelume’s back as he was held by Loraaga728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPme5PXKIsn
“…Thank you”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsCF5hsGZv
“I did it for the human” said Sivir728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yXnnxwLO2
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUdcp1Kujp
Now again he finds Loraaga in the throes of a nightmare once more Tulcakelume embraces her and holds her firmly. The thrashing calmed.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbYNCQx1Uq
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjq3p9ZBwz
“How do you feel this morning” Tulcakelume asked728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpxFY3Y0Gc
“Y y you knew I was awake” she stammered728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ9RTdbsgQ
“Yes I can tell the difference in your breathing, I am glad you have controlled yourself this morning.”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEigXLsXtMA
Loraaga quickly got to her feet728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSehzk8VolT
“I’m gonna get some eats…y you want any” she asked timidly728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmGfsqxKNm
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 answer728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8iYPdabF7
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hLpCnp8U5

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 .728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4acHanVaj
“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 said728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwVg2vHxRK
As she was talking Sivir rolled over half asleep she hugged Cyable728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6ICS1sDch
“Sivir dear are you alright”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCBFsrikI1
Sivir mumbles something before resting her head on Cyable’s chest and falling back to sleep728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5RIK0FPTP
“I think it would be better if we made breakfast” said Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciSqdhreEz
“What are you going to make” she asked728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw1zPaLlfv
“I have no idea I have never cooked before” said Tulcakelume728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH9wwRRbMA
Loraaga and Cyable looked at each other 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPJPGbM7fm
“Loraaga could you”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjl7p4WcXH
“Yeah I’ll do it”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3tnMtRb53

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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DiTg3sE7w
The search for the herb continued this unusual group found that they got along very well for a group made under these unusual circumstances.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkZwiXrT5s

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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9N9Z5cG6O
