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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS3AnQXfOn
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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXa6VKJbM9
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYJoa3zEEB

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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7IM6gBH1O
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhesoBZUkB
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfKIwH7Jn3
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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVFGQHMu6e

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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZYKcgHm1O

In the hall of the high elf priesthood Tulcakelume stands before the leaders of the order.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu1wjqDeiT
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. “701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YzYlDFwd2
Many things happen High Priest said Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccfScgdvw5
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyULE3Fc6E
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”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjbMR0mAp3
‘Indeed you have guided them to that which is need to topple us’ whispered Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqkkjdRCvp
‘What was that’ asked the High Priest of the South. “We maybe old but these ears are a blessing of the goddess”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EWlSvbPJ7
“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.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea1O3ZhtfU
“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”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLWosVhq41
“Foreign? I was there when we quelled the human wars I was there when we fought the Dark Elves back to their forests”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbPKK7yrGX
“You also burned a large portion of the forest” said the High Priest of the West.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PVEasH4DM
“That was an accident I was young” retorted Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgtpiodxm6
“But you did not try to stop the flames either” said the high Priest of the North701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbkiyrHmft
“We were fighting them” Tulcakelume said701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV7o16v35q
“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”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoS6fPYKQ9
“Who are you calling elfling” shot Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYnyHyJGyE
“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 North701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2V8LrTowm
“What is that supposed to teach me?”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeOdanVDSh
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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqaV4hLius
“Always playing around those old hats” thought Tulcakelume. “Where am I?”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJbnMAIeKy
“What the hell was that!?”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxrQSJV40H
Turning towards where the shout came from Tulcakelume there sat and angry Loraaga, less sat more bowled over.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoov32XJgI
“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 Loraaga701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFejz3E6zul
“What seems to be the problem human” said Tulcakelume icily “I have no time for your short lived troubles, where am I”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CmP8uqGcs
“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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhBJOa1QoA
Stepping back Tulcakelume evade the attack effortlessly 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1YihVvnzs
“Do not touch me you filthy little brute” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXqpAi2nB1
“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.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcmRnDtMJL
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrkUsfbhjV
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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5LYdjzhTu
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAHWJKLLIY
Tulcakelume moved left and right as if dancing dodging the punches of Loraaga.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys6ezd2WkL
“Do you not grow tired of this pointless aggression” asked Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7RQxf1WeU
“Then stop moving and let me hit you” retorted Loraaga 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP048SRsWxh
“Would it not be better for you to draw your weapon” asked Tulcakelume 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aItkRCAro
“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”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYHD5ySZ54
Sigh “she is an interesting being if she were not human she would be an honorable addition to the guard’ thought Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37zZJ83t2Q
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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoyxFBw27f
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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j8Xj1DPU7
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 relief701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyiP2UEldu
…thank the goddess” she whispered.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX6WNs40Tz
“What the hell is a Hellvan war bear doing in the forest” asked Loraaga as she got to her feet701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHc8wC1Np3
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.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLw37GlHZ9
“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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp8dlkKtZe
“Cloak of nature magic is it not very good but impressive she can use it.” Thought Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHINaOwlFhR
Tulcakelume steadied Loraaga who was still slightly shaken from the blow from the beast. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsvVwJi72v
“T thank you” she mumbled embarrassed at receiving help from her opponent.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k72JcwZds
“Thank you all for!” stumbling over still not quite composed after having run in her already tired state as she tumbled she righted herself. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEUKtmOQVK
“Thank you for saving me” she said701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPH3mPStEY
“Thank the human and the darkling over there for saving you!” said holding Loraaga and motioning to the dark elf hiding in the leaves.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2sKGCdDZd
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngKexG7Px9
“I can breathe again” said as she stepped out of the pile of heavy robes at her feet.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlT8SEFHz6
“Why do you wear those robes if you have no magic?” asked Tulcakelume 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYez0o6tneH
“How did you know I did not have magic!?” asked a clearly shocked Cyable 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInF6XRSpr2
“If you had magic those robes would be as comfortable as you desire and as light” said Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSQ7oZhTar
“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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj2ApfPiqF
“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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXtCQqzQn7
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 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXBRqCg0g9
“Stop Destroyer!!” shouted Sivir coming from behind her cover of leaves bow drawn and trained on the high elf.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw42HbNjdq
“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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iMC9hr4VG
The glowing of Tulcakelume’s hand grew brighter “a darkling points a weapon at me well that cannot be allowed.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyfPabdBHh
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBrv14xPag
Cyable ran in between the two elves 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT0g3rnIkQ
“Wait wait!! There is no reason for violence between one another over a bear that is of no threat to us”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcjHKckWVH
“This is not about the bear anymore this is about a darkling threatening a high elf priest” said Tulcakelume 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTPvCUV4Y2
Cyable moved closer to Sivir “what would the council of high elves say about a high elf threatening a human.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarc8Nx7xwM
Loraaga bumped into Tulcakelume who placed a glowing hand on her 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEoblomkkG
“Who is threatening “701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY6ir0Tcu8
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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J90RWyOHJ
What the hell was that!” Loraaga shouted701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOtUOPwhFb
“How is your leg?”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aI8O0sxAq
“My wha hey it feels great” said Loraaga701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUeA0nWohf
“Good well now that we are all happy I am Findecano Tulcakelume of the High Elf Priesthood who are all of you”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDRxhk04Vt
“Loraaga, Loraaga Tarmikos”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlDswhjcXe
“I am Cyable Ceres of the Ferradas magical academy”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhOECv5nQy
“And what of you darkling you could pry yourself from the human to tell us your name” asked Tulcakelume.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbR4x24web
To Cyable’s embarrassment she had the small dark elf buried in her ample chest, she released the elf 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ442kiXb0
“I am so sorry are you alright” asked Cyable701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNucZkaEVm
“I I am fine” stuttered the elf701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiclXqBmOoO
Dark as her skin was she could not hide her blushing face, drawing her green hood over her face 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YD9X0FIP9
“I am Sivir of the Forest” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjCLqUaBck
“Of the forest?” wondered Loraaga 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NYetEc1GO
“Yes of the forest hum...Loraaga, darklings take their names from the forests that they live in” said Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwL5XxA1X0
“Now that we are all acquainted what shall be done about the bear” asked Loraaga 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7R6Wis4pA
“Indeed it is a powerful beast to survive that blast and keep going” said Cyable 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJyMVD18wf
That was you but I thought Tul said you couldn’t use magic” said Loraaga rubbing her leg still surprised it felt so normal 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKorRiuWmC
Cyable walked over to her robes and picked them up she pulled out one of the vials similar to the one she had earlier. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2otc3dAH22
These are magic crystalized I would not venture into the forest completely unarmed”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicKNBfMpo5
“So you carry around bombs with you?” asked Loraaga701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8FJ6l8e23
“They are perfectly safe these vials are very strong see” Cyable holds up a clearly cracked vial 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK4YE8Gomm
Loraaga backed away “I see”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj0s4yfOEY
Clearing his throat “the bear” Tulcakelume muttered701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBSJzxi90E
“Leave the bear it means no harm it was only just escaped from a warband and was cautious it means us no harm” said Sivir701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1S6piZMdJ
“It just tried to eat Cyable” countered Loraaga701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBL5eu1IZy
“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.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhk5QadG1R
“Will it try to eat me again if we free it” asked Cyable701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr14UOlD9pm
“You intend to free this beast again?” asked Tulcakelume with a look of something less than frustration maybe curiosity701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vuwdLlQuA
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 Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFBVfLTrQY
“It will not attack us” said Sivir701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ABy3FtPC2
Cyable took a step towards the bear701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlWmCTcZ4s
“I think we should let it go it only attacked because I tried to kill it”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQOVXFopmO
“It attacked you” said Loraaga 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OXNILyP2X
“I shall have the forest release it” said Sivir 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6H5GWdG9c
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoMqqIrT8d
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 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8eEoNlpMt
“What are you doing it’s gonna kill er!!”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5R486quwj
“It’s alright look” said Tulcakelum701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSJ19DsxVw
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQRp8pA84Z
“Calm down” giggled Cyable as the fur tickled her thighs arms and midriff.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bXCF8Ntap
“It will stay wishes to help you and...” Sivir blushed “will you be his mate”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwIOd48Y0J
“I am happy to accept its help but we barely know each other to be intimate” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOlAKlFmhA
“This one is might be some kinda freak” thought Tulcakelume and Loraaga 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0N2sEHjtJ
Sivir was blushing even brighter.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bH7pYHp8o
“Well now that that’s over I will be on my way.” Said Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo1YV1Vrc5
“Wait a minute you we still have a score to settle” said Loraaga701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZQEMdEGFR
“Really? I thought it was already settle since this incident saved you “said Tulcakelume still walking away 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VUIVR2c1c
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 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeoz5XqT65
“What are you doing to her” yelled Cyable 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXarQDX224r
The bear and Sivir taking defensive positions in front of the scantily clad mage.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpVlm8X9PC
“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 absentmindedly701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviqJpTBbhv
“I have no idea where you learned that but that is wrong even warriors choose death over slavery” said Loraaga standing up701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegIUrJwYiS
“Sit” said Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC9M1FBLmG
Loraaga sat 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbX4EMCLtQ
“Still works” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOj0x5KVNL
“Stop that” Loraaga yelled “I am not your slave you never beat me”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk8FtJykmp
“Me having my hand on your head is enough to warrant a defeat, now be silent”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtrXUJeR4m
“This is why high elves cannot be trusted “said Sivir readying an arrow701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF7wz7l9XL
“Wait Sivir you too bear” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Axh72lC0l
“He says his name is Uther” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBFUKWylBt
“Oh Uther, Sivir stop I don’t want any fighting” said Cyable701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXFEntV0pH
Uther moved back closer to Cyable and Sivir lowered her bow slowly701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUMBTbYGUb
“There is no reason to enslave anyone her Tulcakelume.” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEgdxRtmiW
“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 Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOdefNYW98
“What are you talking about?” said Cyable a confused look on her face701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1a9P9JEq1
“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 Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtXucwMtLI
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 away701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeULs7RC7yh
Cyable went over to Sivir and placed a hand on the elf’s forehead 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdM9Xyp5Dd
“You are sick you have a fever we must get back to the academy “701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xk9o6eNdu
“I I I am fine” whispered Sivir701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFBwpSPGEC
“Nonsense we will go to the academy all of us” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqED3e2xA4A
Shrugging Tulcakelume agreed 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi8oo3G3BZ
“Now how do we get out of this forest?” asked Cyable701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF9HEQWNSD
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Jn1FB9NU
“…….”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls9xqGXHvp
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ19y6CwZts
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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Pdw3rrP7
“thank you again Sivir for guiding us back even though it was to take care of you I had you lead us back.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM2MHdVAxK
“It was no trouble dame Cyable” said Sivir looking down to avoid the young mages eyes701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R40hoWrLj
“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 head701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqAy5USzmc
“This is a language capsule swallow it and give me a kiss” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VxqSsa7f4
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM5lQaF0EL
Cyable brought Sivir some water and patted the elf gently on the back when she had calmed down she continued701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS6TeP85CA
“The capsule is made that an oral exchange allows the taker of the pill to learn the language of the subject.” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaEyqPPnDC
“So that is why a kiss” said Tulcakelume nodding his head 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmwCLdBGE1
“Loraaga seems to have understood this she was not surprised at all.” Said Cyable to Loraaga who had been silent the from the forest701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46REF8mD80
“Oh that is my fault, you may speak” said Tulcaklume 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JXVCWR5NI

“Finally you pompous pointy eared excuse for bi”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXJGowNeYi
“Be silence” said Tulcakelume cutting of Loraaga who was once again rendered speechless 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJspbpWAy0j
“You still have her under that spell” said Cyable701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4NcIYiyC9
“Yes its actually quite permanent as long as she and I are alive she will be under my control” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufVAYtPued
Loraaga made a wordless shout, a mix of fear anger and confusion on her face.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWmPOHOYja
“Why so surprised it’s not like you live that long to regret fifty to eighty years and its over”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUfCoZenjw
“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 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs2OyUl8ml
“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 eye701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZNgH99NNi
Loraaga felt a chill run down her spine, what is the elf going to do to me she wondered 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLSdpn3J99
“Do as you wish” said Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z77M880ja
“Ah...I can speak now” said Loraaga a slight hesitation in her voice701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekfi7heak8
“Yes for now, back to the topic at hand this medicine does it work” asked Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMSgalrXOI
“Betri en buist, not only did I learn the language but it is permanent as well” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDbfu9R9WJ
“I see impressive” said Loraaga “but why a kiss?”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrLpeEqmIQ
“Moving on” said Tulcakelume “I want to see if this will actually work “701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIJtYH4VHM
“As am I, I have never tried it on a none human before”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGJTbgUXk3
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 this701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVh07uVFUU
“Uther stick out your tongue”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrUP9E5bKv
Uther complied 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEBsCuTzWA
“Now swallow”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCHHRygjHC
Uther swallowed the pill on his tongue701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqec76Qz1Pr
“Now give me a kiss”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYlOQQOpIT
Sivir stood up straight and watched intently blushing bright red.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSQtqfvHUc
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdnQjOnqDY
“Well that was interesting” said Uther701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp0yi3mf3j
This time it was Loraaga’s turn to choke 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F2kCV8a9l
“The bear it it talks” said Loraaga between breaths701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTq7wwYMbF
“Yes and quite well I must admit” said Uther 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqKo03lcZ4
Sivir was beside Cyable helping to clean of her face with a cloth.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ101hcrPQ4E
“I am glad it works I need to make a note of this as well” said Cyable as she let herself be cleaned 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKVKYhuPGL
“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?”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI1Z5AMAgJ
“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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovv05SzAjB
“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.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu98ZuSVoiK
“You have had a hard time until now Uther” said Cyable 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFmovS3j2J
“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 Uther701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFcvMWt2LJ
“You are a smooth talker for a bear” muttered Sivir701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDRHJSqc7w
“Fear not lady Sivir I have no intention of coming between you and”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tDgdFCTEn
“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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeskP0Rh65
“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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqL7flrW7y
“I was …hunting a bit” said Loraaga701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgDTBVsFXb
“I was sent here for enlightenment” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2Fi06J2ku
“What does that mean?” asked Loraaga 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZhSj8Ompa
“You will see soon enough since you are coming with me”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW3zv5X8kR
“Oh….wait What?!” exclaimed Loraaga701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPmhg6HxGp
“Well you are my servant as of recently so it’s no surprise you will follow me where I go”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC32XPiSI2
“But you said I was free!”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMJhFrPouX
“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.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0E8MDeerY
“You” said Loraaga701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8BTNf2oPM
“That is lord Tulcakelume to you”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqUGM1lRxv
“Ok that’s enough stop toying with her” said Cyable 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjXmaswcqx
“Fine I see you seem to have come to some understanding of me sage” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DhzhqRSV9
“Indeed you are not an evil person but you do have some dark shadows about you”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq29pItLpQV
“He is the destroyer, he is evil he just hides it behind all the light of priesthood” said Sivir 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1NWaAnpZM
“Why do you call him that” asked Uther701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12Kl33XCjK
“Yeah you said that in the forest too” said Loraaga701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1suPbLT21q
“Indeed I was concerned when I was bound that one of you was called destroyer” said Uther701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MXG3Sgngm
“It is a rather ominous title” said Cyable701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXodk80Ce9
“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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd5Ghzc20K
“You burnt down Sherent!!” exclaimed Cyable “that was one of the largest of the dark elves forest” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld7NV0e1cl
“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.” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZMang5sx3
“What of the elves of the forest” Loraaga asked701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zd2VvHftz
“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.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDZY0rXPfr
“You sound like you would have won from the beginning” said Loraaga701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0v89A21yl
“We would they were stubborn and refused to”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQzx1otEwW
“Refused to submit to your rule to let you do as you wish with us and our homes or lives!” hissed Sivir701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjSZ72mzQk
“Had you surrendered you would be free now and still have your precious forest” said Tulcakelume calmly701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtmUK6ZkbZ
“You monster!” said Sivir as she readied her bow 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYaY1OFLmg
“Defend”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXhsqC5y47
Loraaga jumped in front of Tulcakelume 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcrEXpRPyr
“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 dies701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFXp15n4h4
“WHAT!” Loraaga exclaimed701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nCeLjSZeG
“Yes forgot to mention that well what do you say” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4rAAIObtU
“She is one human” Sivir said as she pulled her bow back as far as she could701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkqzWFrW0j
“Sivir!” Cyable cried in surprise701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBIINoPxLx
“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 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bylPj1FdU
“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”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9K0mx2FNg
Tulcakelume raised his hands in mock defeat “to think taught civility by a beast” he said with a smile701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvPGAn6m0E
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcxYNEkgyg
“Lady Sivir do not take his taunts seriously he is not an evil man…mostly” said Uther701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I10zoXEnF
Sivir lowered her bow “I am sorry Loraaga, I “701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFoa4c2KmB
“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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxCE2VOHTm
“I had heard priests were the kindest and gentlest beings of this land second only to the fairies” said Cyable.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8IqRnIGVg
“Yes we all have exceptions, but indeed I have been rather cruel and I am sorry Ms. Sivir”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKKDKFdJEY
For a moment the room was silent all were shocked by this apology.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxYvPaNzwd
Clearing her throat Cyable asked now that we have all calmed down maybe I can ask she thought701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygznorwe5c
“I would like to ask for your help in searching for a herb to make a potion to restore my magic”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILkx6yX2kT
“Fine we will go with you” said Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5El69Igu3i
“Whose we?” asked Loraaga701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUbqMrSNR4
“Why we is you and I after all what servant would leave her master alone and unarmed in a forest” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHVQ5Lz66W
“I am going to get you for this one day” she muttered701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGZsvSVIra
“Uther you can rest here you had a terrible day and”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeqNoa0xPl
“I am fine dame Cyable I am a war bear after all I would be honored to go as well as Miss Sivir”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWa2XW73gU
“Is that true Sivir?” Cyable asked 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ9dACvh6D
Sivir nodded in response. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb6Tfuuy30
“Thank you all! When we get back I shall make you dinner a feast?” said Cyable cheerfully701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJciXJ09nB
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JLLolUZfh
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotufsnZMce
“Let us rest for a while” said Tulcakelume 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdZiE2L601
“Tired already master Tulca” asked Loraaga mockingly701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtUrSMqSqe
“No but you and lady Cyable are”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDulpmXZXa
“I am fine Tulcakelume” said Cyable701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4rBXT4siH
“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.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Lrlivmpf
“Fine, thank you I shall take up your offer.” Cyable said while resting against Uther.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG5di6cHzm
“Sivir come down Sivir”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7yvOtCDM3
From the trees came a soft pat the sound of Sivir gently landing nearby. As she approached, Tulcakelume asked701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtqbVAlHO7
“Are there any animals nearby?”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsH1h01utd
“No they have all scattered”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT1h7lmRTI
“Good” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcn84c5iDn
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBaA5xyjEy
“Now we rest” he said701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC3I8bqEYI
“You can do that and you had me cutting branches and vines for you the whole time.” Said Loraaga 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFKTS2swj7
“Yes I did but if you are mad be mad at the darkling who can command the vines themselves” said Tulcakelume enjoying himself701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAdimCJP2b
Loraaga looked at Sivir who quickly looked away701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR4UdYlTbh
“Sivir, you could do that the whole time?” asked Loraaga a angry vein on her forehead throbbing 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZHlMxbcyr
“Yes but natural magics are not to be used trivially, as my mother taught me” said Sivir still not meeting Loraaga’s eyes 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcpWREMWAk
“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 Loraaga701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPF2N0dcMS
“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 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YjDCzqhYv
“Though I am glad to have my fur”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0AwWHwhMB
“Come here” said Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NyTGOzzFr
Loraaga shuffled tiredly over to Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljLaLoeKRP
“What master” asked Loraaga701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqyw7L89py
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 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q0ZAqCrgh
“Thank you master…Stop making me call you master!!”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVFTztlla8
Tulcakelume laughed “I have not had this much fun in years since ahh I can’t remember”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5MuTP6EIL
Still rubbing the spots that no longer itched or ached Loraaga looked at Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j62iyNEjZ
“Didn’t you say you would stop controlling me” she pressed701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH1FpVmcNc
“And I have for the most part, I have not given you any orders except to clear a path for us”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutCr5OGmfz
Loraaga looked stunned 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKY4ZIhODX
“Indeed Tulcakelume has not given you any orders since we left the house” said Cyable701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrIW9TQZE7
“Exactly lady Cyable, he did not stop the earlier command to have her call him master” said Sivir701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4Qo6Cor3Y
“Remove the command master!” said Loraaga 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFZHtyVCrg
“Indeed Tulcakelume, remove the command it must be terrible being controlled” said Cyable701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXrUsnvnQJ
“Call Cyable great sage” said Tulcakelume with a smile701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLZwCspOOp
“Great Sage Cyable stop him” Loraaga said701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5awKHuPaeE
Cyable had a look of pure bliss on her face701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OJxNGManc
“….Great Sage Cyable?”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL57iaBSsRo
“Maybe it’s not so bad to leave things as they are for a little longer” said Cyable still glowing701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4keODJihsO
Sivir and Uther looked at each other slightly confused and looked back at the sage who was glowing.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaX7YP4nqJ
Loraaga sat down and gave up 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqWDrQCvwF
“I think you should get some sleep Loraaga” said Tulcakelume 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoUqzsduYs
With a sigh Loraaga lay down to sleep701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2j5KLECnP
After a few minutes if silence 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBHuHtGvC3
“I think I will turn in for the night as well” said Cyable 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxG0CYPi9G
“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 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZR1Aevrhy
“Thank you Uther, Sivir would you like to join us”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c4ALBYmcq
Unable to speak the dark elf pulled her hood over her face and nodded701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlQ59zCARg
“If you do not mind would you let Loraaga sleep with you as well” asked Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNyj4DDEKj
“I am big enough for all” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI6aTgX6kS
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPGfwoP367
“Is it alright for us to be taking this break after all I am taking up your time?”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c39m0VctK
Cyable was cut off by Tulcakelume who raised a hand701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSGSoOe6Wr
“Haste in this forest will only lead to misfortune” said Sivir701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ojQG7iEf6
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZbJcsWEbq
When all had fallen asleep Tulcakelume moved over to the fire and began to think about the past few days.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdQaun42Nc
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYc6PFr0zk
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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq8TCgFVB2
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Lz9QrYQYS
“Is she possessed?” Sivir asked Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbL51z8owO
“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.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCowpPgmnm
“Is there a way to help her?”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOASKJMJuJ
“Do you still remember why you distrust me?”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJaNhrtl42
“You burned down my home and killed my people”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiyrtvFZqF
“Are you able to forget?”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fEcQuiilJ
“I will never forget”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2ghj6zicf
“That is the same for this one here”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDLr1YQZyl
Sivir and Tulcakelume were silent for a time, the silence was broken by Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEAMS2YGYd
“When she rises I will ask her what”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYUoMrrPjV
“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 Sivir701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yLwoXdnVp
“The sooner I know the sooner I can make her forget”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtVpdt1am9
“You high elves think you have the right to tamper with the minds of others, is nothing sacred to you” snapped Sivir701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9tqoAp7vh
“Would you rather see her tear herself apart every night instead darkling”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCmPkybCgq
“I never, no but this is her trial not our”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23ehrJwAla
“I believe it would be better to wait till she brings it up herself” said Uther 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq9kxTCKbO
“Did we wake you Uther my apologies” said Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWcV5pdDtz
“I have been awake from Loraaga started to moan, I covered dame Cyable’s ears when Sivir moved” said Uther701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvAG68HMzr
“So you think we should leave her be as well Uther” asked Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa1A5mCveB
“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 Uther701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8pxLo25OF
Sivir nodded 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqYXD15UAN
“Very well, Sivir might I ask you to take over watch I seem to be restrained” said Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZv8oxlrad
Sivir nodded once more701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04zgLQejx3
With a chant a tree root raised to support Tulcakelume’s back as he was held by Loraaga701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmBfT1Uan7
“…Thank you”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKB9m8Sl2e
“I did it for the human” said Sivir701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEhYsQlPOG
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs7p7Krn4r
Now again he finds Loraaga in the throes of a nightmare once more Tulcakelume embraces her and holds her firmly. The thrashing calmed.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgNUY52MAT
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliYCZF2Mp8
“How do you feel this morning” Tulcakelume asked701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDfnGxpIiM
“Y y you knew I was awake” she stammered701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC6AS1gTZe
“Yes I can tell the difference in your breathing, I am glad you have controlled yourself this morning.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycbJ2vw20B
Loraaga quickly got to her feet701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P07dIB6FD
“I’m gonna get some eats…y you want any” she asked timidly701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQhny5z3PP
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 answer701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAeReWxwOw
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6IG5kUUwX

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 .701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtoQCO3jaK
“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 said701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR1R5gRqFG
As she was talking Sivir rolled over half asleep she hugged Cyable701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d7WoMv55f
“Sivir dear are you alright”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADmzMzE76C
Sivir mumbles something before resting her head on Cyable’s chest and falling back to sleep701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BrCat6EOn
“I think it would be better if we made breakfast” said Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP11uaO6vH
“What are you going to make” she asked701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc42Xvzdqca
“I have no idea I have never cooked before” said Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJBAHobhde
Loraaga and Cyable looked at each other 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3etOLV0i8
“Loraaga could you”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO1EpPX3yL
“Yeah I’ll do it”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFXhQHuIlr
“I am a genius” said Tulcakelume701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i8gIa959b
“And cooking is an art” said Cyable701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvYWbeISCO

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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW073TThHrT
The search for the herb continued this unusual group found that they got along very well for a group made under these unusual circumstances.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE4lYIUyFk

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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Hv9ObSkT
