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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGDY9HtDPR
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. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fmfoyrLwC
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlI8KW71B1

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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2pUSLnw27
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXh7fgSTEO

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. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPkdrBPPzZ

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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIwbSSSY0P

In the hall of the high elf priesthood Tulcakelume stands before the leaders of the order.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM0qMwnBpW
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. “677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSTukwp50Y
Many things happen High Priest said Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi9l9noXX3
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQeFEJylre
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”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWhBIIvLhM
‘Indeed you have guided them to that which is need to topple us’ whispered Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qUn5rzoSu
‘What was that’ asked the High Priest of the South. “We maybe old but these ears are a blessing of the goddess”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTGsUkBmdX
“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.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGTrvC6IUA
“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”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv09Q4oA6uX
“Foreign? I was there when we quelled the human wars I was there when we fought the Dark Elves back to their forests”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaHAMuMc9D
“You also burned a large portion of the forest” said the High Priest of the West.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1DhzmKncn
“That was an accident I was young” retorted Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBjV1tghmg
“But you did not try to stop the flames either” said the high Priest of the North677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbwS7Zkadm
“We were fighting them” Tulcakelume said677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnJgzgppJh
“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”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRPYMlz7t1
“Who are you calling elfling” shot Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSsGAy8YaQ
“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 North677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqjosvG20j
“What is that supposed to teach me?”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo9lMwOaFw
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. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x7gACpVjc
“Always playing around those old hats” thought Tulcakelume. “Where am I?”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAC3tM03FA
“What the hell was that!?”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq3aOknTuD
Turning towards where the shout came from Tulcakelume there sat and angry Loraaga, less sat more bowled over.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg03jVsO2v
“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 Loraaga677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC092hczuae
“What seems to be the problem human” said Tulcakelume icily “I have no time for your short lived troubles, where am I”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt9TcqyrgT
“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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3wPa7fDUl
Stepping back Tulcakelume evade the attack effortlessly 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPUI92RAUr
“Do not touch me you filthy little brute” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s8ius8wGH
“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.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpdxJNYk1B
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TRPe3YckY
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. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHnY8KuRSj
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5r7MN4XQ3
Tulcakelume moved left and right as if dancing dodging the punches of Loraaga.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6feyBuzFdK
“Do you not grow tired of this pointless aggression” asked Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6x9VjZzqx
“Then stop moving and let me hit you” retorted Loraaga 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalJHYkJdfT
“Would it not be better for you to draw your weapon” asked Tulcakelume 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLD7udHSpG
“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”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj2SquVZCE
Sigh “she is an interesting being if she were not human she would be an honorable addition to the guard’ thought Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKfiYKWFGq
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. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEOwrDAsDt
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. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ippqM87C6
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 relief677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxze6bLcEA
…thank the goddess” she whispered.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuAU1fWFjx
“What the hell is a Hellvan war bear doing in the forest” asked Loraaga as she got to her feet677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTahsOsx6T
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.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6rME8ACgZ
“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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLsJHZ6vAg
“Cloak of nature magic is it not very good but impressive she can use it.” Thought Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXZNzDpvEK
Tulcakelume steadied Loraaga who was still slightly shaken from the blow from the beast. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwfnTsEU3c
“T thank you” she mumbled embarrassed at receiving help from her opponent.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrP0rozOYU
“Thank you all for!” stumbling over still not quite composed after having run in her already tired state as she tumbled she righted herself. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EFB797NsA
“Thank you for saving me” she said677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8nKZx6exZ
“Thank the human and the darkling over there for saving you!” said holding Loraaga and motioning to the dark elf hiding in the leaves.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaLWzBdkoA
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBXrrWF9Ph
“I can breathe again” said as she stepped out of the pile of heavy robes at her feet.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx2EJl0GAQ
“Why do you wear those robes if you have no magic?” asked Tulcakelume 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovxKWLFsB0
“How did you know I did not have magic!?” asked a clearly shocked Cyable 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreZIuzR2cC
“If you had magic those robes would be as comfortable as you desire and as light” said Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EJl1BM6ji
“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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx9mcU6rX1
“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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3HENRmFJa
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 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4mcSB9lN1
“Stop Destroyer!!” shouted Sivir coming from behind her cover of leaves bow drawn and trained on the high elf.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7y7m6VBZ1
“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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM4mYGLoTu
The glowing of Tulcakelume’s hand grew brighter “a darkling points a weapon at me well that cannot be allowed.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGSdrVMjkA
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmCctaOu5n
Cyable ran in between the two elves 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iqd6BJPj2
“Wait wait!! There is no reason for violence between one another over a bear that is of no threat to us”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dFFiOdL70
“This is not about the bear anymore this is about a darkling threatening a high elf priest” said Tulcakelume 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwtVbRI0Q2
Cyable moved closer to Sivir “what would the council of high elves say about a high elf threatening a human.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwn0n77js7
Loraaga bumped into Tulcakelume who placed a glowing hand on her 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOBWIfWKl4
“Who is threatening “677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycPj4C0Yt6
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. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEdWQgswMx
What the hell was that!” Loraaga shouted677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAov5kskNU
“How is your leg?”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoRot7Hk3X
“My wha hey it feels great” said Loraaga677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzofT78MNTu
“Good well now that we are all happy I am Findecano Tulcakelume of the High Elf Priesthood who are all of you”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zjOUxTeHj
“Loraaga, Loraaga Tarmikos”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewXUbXjSMe
“I am Cyable Ceres of the Ferradas magical academy”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QSmbUr5KL
“And what of you darkling you could pry yourself from the human to tell us your name” asked Tulcakelume.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexues9uCYl
To Cyable’s embarrassment she had the small dark elf buried in her ample chest, she released the elf 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpNHzaH0w4
“I am so sorry are you alright” asked Cyable677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGxWBhTz8Y
“I I am fine” stuttered the elf677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprTtZ3tTta
Dark as her skin was she could not hide her blushing face, drawing her green hood over her face 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAVUw7rVPM
“I am Sivir of the Forest” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM2gKJIQje
“Of the forest?” wondered Loraaga 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLSCQxWbAv
“Yes of the forest hum...Loraaga, darklings take their names from the forests that they live in” said Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiEbVzEibQ
“Now that we are all acquainted what shall be done about the bear” asked Loraaga 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyMLQIclnQ
“Indeed it is a powerful beast to survive that blast and keep going” said Cyable 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnYUHWFXBk
That was you but I thought Tul said you couldn’t use magic” said Loraaga rubbing her leg still surprised it felt so normal 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmSD9XZbUd
Cyable walked over to her robes and picked them up she pulled out one of the vials similar to the one she had earlier. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C0nUvZn8k
These are magic crystalized I would not venture into the forest completely unarmed”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH05CDFjuXg
“So you carry around bombs with you?” asked Loraaga677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheHaQRRa3s
“They are perfectly safe these vials are very strong see” Cyable holds up a clearly cracked vial 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rBLfxjx3O
Loraaga backed away “I see”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkrsqK9Waw
Clearing his throat “the bear” Tulcakelume muttered677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OZ5Tkz15n
“Leave the bear it means no harm it was only just escaped from a warband and was cautious it means us no harm” said Sivir677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkHv3rnfxo
“It just tried to eat Cyable” countered Loraaga677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVS73ub7gc
“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.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqvWdpnjBR
“Will it try to eat me again if we free it” asked Cyable677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnb4gw4GzN
“You intend to free this beast again?” asked Tulcakelume with a look of something less than frustration maybe curiosity677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq7WNzBBLo
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 Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjEnPXhsiK
“It will not attack us” said Sivir677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhkG9vZZtk
Cyable took a step towards the bear677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8pmd7sbEX
“I think we should let it go it only attacked because I tried to kill it”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDBZgWxkto
“It attacked you” said Loraaga 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWn4r0wEgB
“I shall have the forest release it” said Sivir 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUEY62v7Wv
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmBtDy4uNt
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 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE4Gc4m4cX
“What are you doing it’s gonna kill er!!”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ImM4CA8mX
“It’s alright look” said Tulcakelum677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL33A8tGib
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCpiJ9VEV2
“Calm down” giggled Cyable as the fur tickled her thighs arms and midriff.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwKsIypNue
“It will stay wishes to help you and...” Sivir blushed “will you be his mate”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5iobREFVi
“I am happy to accept its help but we barely know each other to be intimate” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAMCU4IRzm
“This one is might be some kinda freak” thought Tulcakelume and Loraaga 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlwus85ZXI
Sivir was blushing even brighter.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqiO0HeHug
“Well now that that’s over I will be on my way.” Said Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw4mJsSP6P
“Wait a minute you we still have a score to settle” said Loraaga677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9GMdvzcRc
“Really? I thought it was already settle since this incident saved you “said Tulcakelume still walking away 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsQzyesuc1
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 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtjeDq3YMW
“What are you doing to her” yelled Cyable 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeC2zbmTUd
The bear and Sivir taking defensive positions in front of the scantily clad mage.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEzS6UIm3W
“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 absentmindedly677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsYjr30Mvr
“I have no idea where you learned that but that is wrong even warriors choose death over slavery” said Loraaga standing up677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn83WpgfOO8
“Sit” said Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgRMdsS4dp
Loraaga sat 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuk45nOqGB
“Still works” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZMFsPXcYA
“Stop that” Loraaga yelled “I am not your slave you never beat me”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4X46nhnCI
“Me having my hand on your head is enough to warrant a defeat, now be silent”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg9BeTkAPu

“Wait Sivir you too bear” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttnD6n1R3Y
“He says his name is Uther” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82qzniA8y3
“Oh Uther, Sivir stop I don’t want any fighting” said Cyable677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVssSofaMP
Uther moved back closer to Cyable and Sivir lowered her bow slowly677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLunlTRswmX
“There is no reason to enslave anyone her Tulcakelume.” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fVVTE43OU
“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 Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChgWyDYm2K
“What are you talking about?” said Cyable a confused look on her face677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIqWh7w2lU
“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 Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAAsYJijr4
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 away677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrveS2GuWMi
Cyable went over to Sivir and placed a hand on the elf’s forehead 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc4K62ifyA
“You are sick you have a fever we must get back to the academy “677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgCO7nHU1a
“I I I am fine” whispered Sivir677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kwRtWVXPB
“Nonsense we will go to the academy all of us” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYKnxrVJQj
Shrugging Tulcakelume agreed 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SwtIQN92j
“Now how do we get out of this forest?” asked Cyable677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs2KjthSOg

677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVSVjIK370
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. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup2qRAuOgR
“thank you again Sivir for guiding us back even though it was to take care of you I had you lead us back.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5AilPIJvL
“It was no trouble dame Cyable” said Sivir looking down to avoid the young mages eyes677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0Q6qGF8wA
“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 head677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh4hwXtZ5v

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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0UNT5RXa4
Cyable brought Sivir some water and patted the elf gently on the back when she had calmed down she continued677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfRLqtwbcw
“The capsule is made that an oral exchange allows the taker of the pill to learn the language of the subject.” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCDDWAvA7Y
“So that is why a kiss” said Tulcakelume nodding his head 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqor9tqab4
“Loraaga seems to have understood this she was not surprised at all.” Said Cyable to Loraaga who had been silent the from the forest677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI7eYvdcFA
“Oh that is my fault, you may speak” said Tulcaklume 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiAL98BWbI

“Be silence” said Tulcakelume cutting of Loraaga who was once again rendered speechless 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxId8nHsYFB
“You still have her under that spell” said Cyable677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQv4O1Zgt6
“Yes its actually quite permanent as long as she and I are alive she will be under my control” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VYDFtXLs9
Loraaga made a wordless shout, a mix of fear anger and confusion on her face.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6CvAFmo34
“Why so surprised it’s not like you live that long to regret fifty to eighty years and its over”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyrhzCWTe4
“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 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyOGCYF69r
“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 eye677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FNG6DCw3E
Loraaga felt a chill run down her spine, what is the elf going to do to me she wondered 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5fD1yIT05
“Do as you wish” said Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQqk6S0009
“Ah...I can speak now” said Loraaga a slight hesitation in her voice677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAQVMtl1yQ
“Yes for now, back to the topic at hand this medicine does it work” asked Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJhyAEZ8tv
“Betri en buist, not only did I learn the language but it is permanent as well” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDfLznqqAx
“I see impressive” said Loraaga “but why a kiss?”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf4svXZvF4
“Moving on” said Tulcakelume “I want to see if this will actually work “677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hscDzOD4W
“As am I, I have never tried it on a none human before”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLggDko5qsN
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 this677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlAedvAipa
“Uther stick out your tongue”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6xW5lpMbj
Uther complied 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaERxr4isW
“Now swallow”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3EFSBYg4d
Uther swallowed the pill on his tongue677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcLjz6iXAB
“Now give me a kiss”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrCUQNkcZu
Sivir stood up straight and watched intently blushing bright red.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaK0NH8dY9
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vXiGEPupe
“Well that was interesting” said Uther677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfnGteQYje
This time it was Loraaga’s turn to choke 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswMCZRqIfa
“The bear it it talks” said Loraaga between breaths677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge25PQaGe4
“Yes and quite well I must admit” said Uther 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7AoQKItPJ
Sivir was beside Cyable helping to clean of her face with a cloth.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAmSxf6O0d
“I am glad it works I need to make a note of this as well” said Cyable as she let herself be cleaned 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR85eweUIK
“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?”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzCcSb4Gxa
“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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJZWJL2HaI
“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.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEldN3zfcj
“You have had a hard time until now Uther” said Cyable 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0suER9Lpp
“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 Uther677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0ZX7Dr90b
“You are a smooth talker for a bear” muttered Sivir677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKWvZ21UfD
“Fear not lady Sivir I have no intention of coming between you and”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27zDBJp3IM
“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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6zmxtNDBY
“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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTAF804aWx
“I was …hunting a bit” said Loraaga677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimFrBVUkjY
“I was sent here for enlightenment” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37YCKYfsyi
“What does that mean?” asked Loraaga 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvg5ZTvPXJ
“You will see soon enough since you are coming with me”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna4GZldWtI
“Oh….wait What?!” exclaimed Loraaga677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL80p3RtL25
“Well you are my servant as of recently so it’s no surprise you will follow me where I go”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVuyvRa0ct
“But you said I was free!”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0SfvQxaEm
“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.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaZiEwQ6SA
“You” said Loraaga677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW1L8Ugj3k
“That is lord Tulcakelume to you”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEvp7cQXzA
“Ok that’s enough stop toying with her” said Cyable 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRry2okPFiL
“Fine I see you seem to have come to some understanding of me sage” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYQWfW4bDi
“Indeed you are not an evil person but you do have some dark shadows about you”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnLgivWUrc
“He is the destroyer, he is evil he just hides it behind all the light of priesthood” said Sivir 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXDX86jwSH
“Why do you call him that” asked Uther677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnJT7Z8MLD
“Yeah you said that in the forest too” said Loraaga677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkXxZDQcEW
“Indeed I was concerned when I was bound that one of you was called destroyer” said Uther677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMtI1Svdmh
“It is a rather ominous title” said Cyable677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxukO7LoKyo
“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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS2IGuQjpP
“You burnt down Sherent!!” exclaimed Cyable “that was one of the largest of the dark elves forest” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yzt4lSUOT
“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.” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mYevphDtN
“What of the elves of the forest” Loraaga asked677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfe1askPzb
“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.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3rJqwVcfW
“You sound like you would have won from the beginning” said Loraaga677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6nMyZe8X3
“We would they were stubborn and refused to”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2QDSyLal2
“Refused to submit to your rule to let you do as you wish with us and our homes or lives!” hissed Sivir677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfStfr1v5cM
“Had you surrendered you would be free now and still have your precious forest” said Tulcakelume calmly677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0xVF2tjiS
“You monster!” said Sivir as she readied her bow 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmUcl2dMG4
“Defend”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zUmAX90ia
Loraaga jumped in front of Tulcakelume 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUI6aiXu9a
“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 dies677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqPwvkzBui
“WHAT!” Loraaga exclaimed677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVBShVIQgq
“Yes forgot to mention that well what do you say” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHXPVoUJ8b
“She is one human” Sivir said as she pulled her bow back as far as she could677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThSBvGReeD
“Sivir!” Cyable cried in surprise677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyBypGaPZ3
“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 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAwBnOeryN
“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”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZodjV1l7f
Tulcakelume raised his hands in mock defeat “to think taught civility by a beast” he said with a smile677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyiKGTkWsf
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3oN7jbhqZ
“Lady Sivir do not take his taunts seriously he is not an evil man…mostly” said Uther677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ95mRIojX
Sivir lowered her bow “I am sorry Loraaga, I “677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbNTqYMJwO
“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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztRDSgSje8
“I had heard priests were the kindest and gentlest beings of this land second only to the fairies” said Cyable.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8D1FOaKyK
“Yes we all have exceptions, but indeed I have been rather cruel and I am sorry Ms. Sivir”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP28t4Ffdjq
For a moment the room was silent all were shocked by this apology.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqUAamKQKq
Clearing her throat Cyable asked now that we have all calmed down maybe I can ask she thought677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SijLnhNNK
“I would like to ask for your help in searching for a herb to make a potion to restore my magic”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwta7wnGfwU
“Fine we will go with you” said Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhryN9D1K7W
“Whose we?” asked Loraaga677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcgFU5n73E
“Why we is you and I after all what servant would leave her master alone and unarmed in a forest” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacVHSVDwPS
“I am going to get you for this one day” she muttered677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAVIXNRqFg
“Uther you can rest here you had a terrible day and”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf9HNhCSVe
“I am fine dame Cyable I am a war bear after all I would be honored to go as well as Miss Sivir”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhagYdHElj
“Is that true Sivir?” Cyable asked 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQauGJPxBQ
Sivir nodded in response. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwNuETtosb
“Thank you all! When we get back I shall make you dinner a feast?” said Cyable cheerfully677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0qhnMAMcj
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5CkRDW0w1
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu4Rw5QhCi
“Let us rest for a while” said Tulcakelume 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8NR19wfBd
“Tired already master Tulca” asked Loraaga mockingly677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlsvr8kHNH
“No but you and lady Cyable are”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ8uGSbEuY
“I am fine Tulcakelume” said Cyable677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRjVE6zsta
“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.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFH9qkJ0U8
“Fine, thank you I shall take up your offer.” Cyable said while resting against Uther.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfD8N7DJa8
“Sivir come down Sivir”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN7LWherZi
From the trees came a soft pat the sound of Sivir gently landing nearby. As she approached, Tulcakelume asked677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0jkM1qHNB
“Are there any animals nearby?”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlF2wEfPsb
“No they have all scattered”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu2OV5QeIS
“Good” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg07aSIFwb
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsx3zeSA96
“Now we rest” he said677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClaxmAPfqj
“You can do that and you had me cutting branches and vines for you the whole time.” Said Loraaga 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp921AP7pu
“Yes I did but if you are mad be mad at the darkling who can command the vines themselves” said Tulcakelume enjoying himself677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvY7iBConT
Loraaga looked at Sivir who quickly looked away677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUC50XHxGc
“Sivir, you could do that the whole time?” asked Loraaga a angry vein on her forehead throbbing 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2OdZinEje
“Yes but natural magics are not to be used trivially, as my mother taught me” said Sivir still not meeting Loraaga’s eyes 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUw5IjgImd
“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 Loraaga677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCeBJVUsPk
“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 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TinQeXODQ
“Though I am glad to have my fur”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wX14DTjxp
“Come here” said Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDAUGfKrIT
Loraaga shuffled tiredly over to Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXiwRR068J
“What master” asked Loraaga677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf6CBDRQ8a
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 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRuMEv23IH
“Thank you master…Stop making me call you master!!”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKtDid5XPa
Tulcakelume laughed “I have not had this much fun in years since ahh I can’t remember”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9ju0XRnsW
Still rubbing the spots that no longer itched or ached Loraaga looked at Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSKcJmcdkF
“Didn’t you say you would stop controlling me” she pressed677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLJfV3GWeb
“And I have for the most part, I have not given you any orders except to clear a path for us”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO3B8WZ3AI
Loraaga looked stunned 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqeu5mSXVH
“Indeed Tulcakelume has not given you any orders since we left the house” said Cyable677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wE2xhPM6b
“Exactly lady Cyable, he did not stop the earlier command to have her call him master” said Sivir677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi1EWCOewC
“Remove the command master!” said Loraaga 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmPTPOVo7G
“Indeed Tulcakelume, remove the command it must be terrible being controlled” said Cyable677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY85mpCW7rP
“Call Cyable great sage” said Tulcakelume with a smile677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw3Z2L00zz
“Great Sage Cyable stop him” Loraaga said677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHD4LAkWM4
Cyable had a look of pure bliss on her face677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoL8VzdCT3
“….Great Sage Cyable?”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPKGFQnFkJ
“Maybe it’s not so bad to leave things as they are for a little longer” said Cyable still glowing677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv2NEFx2xv
Sivir and Uther looked at each other slightly confused and looked back at the sage who was glowing.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxHMQQn4ZH
Loraaga sat down and gave up 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQSi0oh5hm
“I think you should get some sleep Loraaga” said Tulcakelume 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq09kW8OcB4
With a sigh Loraaga lay down to sleep677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4erkC7qnh
After a few minutes if silence 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6QgwLUd4i
“I think I will turn in for the night as well” said Cyable 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ECdQCsUE1
“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 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy5IjWRmvw
“Thank you Uther, Sivir would you like to join us”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmrNVj30hp
Unable to speak the dark elf pulled her hood over her face and nodded677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx17uWQlEM
“If you do not mind would you let Loraaga sleep with you as well” asked Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JCKPpIGIT
“I am big enough for all” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBJ4L0TgYN
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIxZMw5o32
“Is it alright for us to be taking this break after all I am taking up your time?”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGFm3vX2Tt
Cyable was cut off by Tulcakelume who raised a hand677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eQnZLwgrC
“Haste in this forest will only lead to misfortune” said Sivir677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIF6rIOaCX
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyNUV31T64
When all had fallen asleep Tulcakelume moved over to the fire and began to think about the past few days.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH1I0jq6vI
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOf6c7YrsC
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. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQGOpZY1IN
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxqit16d7v
“Is she possessed?” Sivir asked Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lJscrhNnM
“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.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMVRiE1Jfo
“Is there a way to help her?”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z5o2JL81H
“Do you still remember why you distrust me?”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO6OJ1uLn3
“You burned down my home and killed my people”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUX6Ba1dcp
“Are you able to forget?”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfOB3fP2m8
“I will never forget”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0doKOrd56T
“That is the same for this one here”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuikQ263CR
Sivir and Tulcakelume were silent for a time, the silence was broken by Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWd67NJVbZ
“When she rises I will ask her what”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECWMQE9XUA
“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 Sivir677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi7hT6noIk
“The sooner I know the sooner I can make her forget”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MS2RFCKmL
“You high elves think you have the right to tamper with the minds of others, is nothing sacred to you” snapped Sivir677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUw8OESTAq
“Would you rather see her tear herself apart every night instead darkling”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfIUlNCLKY
“I never, no but this is her trial not our”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4afNbB9Zb
“I believe it would be better to wait till she brings it up herself” said Uther 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iS6rmWwph
“Did we wake you Uther my apologies” said Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuvGKGGpcv
“I have been awake from Loraaga started to moan, I covered dame Cyable’s ears when Sivir moved” said Uther677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCftWvpJyZD
“So you think we should leave her be as well Uther” asked Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tcDClqq1J
“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 Uther677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1nUyyoPnB
Sivir nodded 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqUJ9CICKr
“Very well, Sivir might I ask you to take over watch I seem to be restrained” said Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPBn46bHoW
Sivir nodded once more677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRyPuJgsJL
With a chant a tree root raised to support Tulcakelume’s back as he was held by Loraaga677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJBnRD0evA
“…Thank you”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKf2Jm4S7p
“I did it for the human” said Sivir677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD2YCThWua
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNmQWJt3Vk
Now again he finds Loraaga in the throes of a nightmare once more Tulcakelume embraces her and holds her firmly. The thrashing calmed.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YEJCy6ZaE
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiLUZJzvos
“How do you feel this morning” Tulcakelume asked677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQg7oAuep1
“Y y you knew I was awake” she stammered677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvGrqcuBIS
“Yes I can tell the difference in your breathing, I am glad you have controlled yourself this morning.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjmdAv8lKA
Loraaga quickly got to her feet677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7RfclQeTI
“I’m gonna get some eats…y you want any” she asked timidly677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZIOYC0QyR
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 answer677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aZBeqyM7B
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yElfobNES

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 .677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1BBjYE0I2
“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 said677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOB6ICRAIL
As she was talking Sivir rolled over half asleep she hugged Cyable677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ8kxLqJ54
“Sivir dear are you alright”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPSfIK3IKW
Sivir mumbles something before resting her head on Cyable’s chest and falling back to sleep677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fG9rLOX6A
“I think it would be better if we made breakfast” said Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWn3vrqhJ0
“What are you going to make” she asked677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBOzixOWDV
“I have no idea I have never cooked before” said Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzygXX9zZv
Loraaga and Cyable looked at each other 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTWRR2uwcW
“Loraaga could you”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM9sjZgrhX
“Yeah I’ll do it”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwFUN994Gx
“I am a genius” said Tulcakelume677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0JUoruQSw

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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOpcDFzBK2
The search for the herb continued this unusual group found that they got along very well for a group made under these unusual circumstances.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJjZdCwsED

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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMmTpdmus1
