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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImdx94B2xR
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. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFxnpVl5En
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVtCqzubEg

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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0I0CHaD7f
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2c1ZKsJLP

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. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d1oJ1MPeH

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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm6wMvhMi8

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. “885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUuouYtl03
Many things happen High Priest said Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ITRgNWMgx
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUnoDenM0x
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”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyosTaxJ2XX
‘Indeed you have guided them to that which is need to topple us’ whispered Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u8gUmhojb
‘What was that’ asked the High Priest of the South. “We maybe old but these ears are a blessing of the goddess”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHbLLYOica
“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.”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEVB9X1Jgd
“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”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ElmMrmRUf
“Foreign? I was there when we quelled the human wars I was there when we fought the Dark Elves back to their forests”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gIBhJadJy
“You also burned a large portion of the forest” said the High Priest of the West.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiQzmliuIb
“That was an accident I was young” retorted Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb13LcvuEpz
“But you did not try to stop the flames either” said the high Priest of the North885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLCZWfGIQf
“We were fighting them” Tulcakelume said885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqKHUcaywu
“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”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KeOahMc96
“Who are you calling elfling” shot Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFpxJJuCMi
“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 North885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS8gjuizi2
“What is that supposed to teach me?”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDg9mWDYIp
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. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshBcU4ULhr
“Always playing around those old hats” thought Tulcakelume. “Where am I?”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9zXkiayVN
“What the hell was that!?”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdTkiZgd9f
Turning towards where the shout came from Tulcakelume there sat and angry Loraaga, less sat more bowled over.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXlTLlCmia
“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 Loraaga885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWaFPMklfg
“What seems to be the problem human” said Tulcakelume icily “I have no time for your short lived troubles, where am I”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqpO9xWYZv
“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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rrB0zAI9F
Stepping back Tulcakelume evade the attack effortlessly 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iQlC3F9Kr
“Do not touch me you filthy little brute” 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KFO1HnD89
“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.”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeveZXXerDd
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseqGGPz2FZ
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. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5cLo7UMRH
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtHk6mbhzL
Tulcakelume moved left and right as if dancing dodging the punches of Loraaga.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NgpKg25fQ
“Do you not grow tired of this pointless aggression” asked Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNfFcj4CVZ
“Then stop moving and let me hit you” retorted Loraaga 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NAiXu9oEO
“Would it not be better for you to draw your weapon” asked Tulcakelume 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yz9mGcmld
“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”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24wKfGjhAs
Sigh “she is an interesting being if she were not human she would be an honorable addition to the guard’ thought Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWrZpgG5o3
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. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALEhuqQPJF
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. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD8tEv6Tzn
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 relief885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNym6bBYa25
…thank the goddess” she whispered.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgnG8RYWXE
“What the hell is a Hellvan war bear doing in the forest” asked Loraaga as she got to her feet885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7nJxuUhR5
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.”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwquEcn9k8V
“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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rZjLuGW95
“Cloak of nature magic is it not very good but impressive she can use it.” Thought Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n2iVQVPh7
Tulcakelume steadied Loraaga who was still slightly shaken from the blow from the beast. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO1eXqJZ2A
“T thank you” she mumbled embarrassed at receiving help from her opponent.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva4asydTS1
“Thank you all for!” stumbling over still not quite composed after having run in her already tired state as she tumbled she righted herself. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGhlDFNHqV
“Thank you for saving me” she said885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Hq6SnijH
“Thank the human and the darkling over there for saving you!” said holding Loraaga and motioning to the dark elf hiding in the leaves.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlQKgRYbVI
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbC5WIQEqr
“I can breathe again” said as she stepped out of the pile of heavy robes at her feet.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcLwzPRXMo
“Why do you wear those robes if you have no magic?” asked Tulcakelume 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxalbN06ae
“How did you know I did not have magic!?” asked a clearly shocked Cyable 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrdC8wqQ6s
“If you had magic those robes would be as comfortable as you desire and as light” said Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XCIUkkRtB
“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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGB4arsKCw
“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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsEz8ozawH
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 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocuW2J4V42
“Stop Destroyer!!” shouted Sivir coming from behind her cover of leaves bow drawn and trained on the high elf.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVpXw8G4rs
“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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxz9bhVnPA
The glowing of Tulcakelume’s hand grew brighter “a darkling points a weapon at me well that cannot be allowed.”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH1k3kginN
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gJXasBcRD
Cyable ran in between the two elves 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hsqz35dcL
“Wait wait!! There is no reason for violence between one another over a bear that is of no threat to us”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyLJRbFgFh
“This is not about the bear anymore this is about a darkling threatening a high elf priest” said Tulcakelume 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaaYnEVqIK
Cyable moved closer to Sivir “what would the council of high elves say about a high elf threatening a human.”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Krmlh6qYf
Loraaga bumped into Tulcakelume who placed a glowing hand on her 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp56cJLbjR
“Who is threatening “885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VKLstXEn7
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. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0BPzIumvi
What the hell was that!” Loraaga shouted885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEq7srEcng
“How is your leg?”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl6RcoX3KV
“My wha hey it feels great” said Loraaga885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywpYuR7hrf
“Good well now that we are all happy I am Findecano Tulcakelume of the High Elf Priesthood who are all of you”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4aXZXhmwQ
“Loraaga, Loraaga Tarmikos”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCSYXz7YVD
“I am Cyable Ceres of the Ferradas magical academy”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9AGhOv0OZ
“And what of you darkling you could pry yourself from the human to tell us your name” asked Tulcakelume.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHu5ALnT7I
To Cyable’s embarrassment she had the small dark elf buried in her ample chest, she released the elf 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrPMXSOwnL
“I am so sorry are you alright” asked Cyable885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1tJVygJ4O
“I I am fine” stuttered the elf885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfwY8PI0et
Dark as her skin was she could not hide her blushing face, drawing her green hood over her face 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BUpouRzRK
“I am Sivir of the Forest” 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KbrPGuIMC
“Of the forest?” wondered Loraaga 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5STu9f4Rr
“Yes of the forest hum...Loraaga, darklings take their names from the forests that they live in” said Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGVPOEsya5
“Now that we are all acquainted what shall be done about the bear” asked Loraaga 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHaSuXVNQe
“Indeed it is a powerful beast to survive that blast and keep going” said Cyable 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoNBAIN5yk
That was you but I thought Tul said you couldn’t use magic” said Loraaga rubbing her leg still surprised it felt so normal 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rYDRn67Wg
Cyable walked over to her robes and picked them up she pulled out one of the vials similar to the one she had earlier. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXaIJ3Q1sa
These are magic crystalized I would not venture into the forest completely unarmed”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJKbPvJYMx
“So you carry around bombs with you?” asked Loraaga885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcitnq4ACFd
“They are perfectly safe these vials are very strong see” Cyable holds up a clearly cracked vial 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LR6RSZNtW
Loraaga backed away “I see”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcXON8i1ds
Clearing his throat “the bear” Tulcakelume muttered885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA6Z7CkIGK
“Leave the bear it means no harm it was only just escaped from a warband and was cautious it means us no harm” said Sivir885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L4R4QtTeB
“It just tried to eat Cyable” countered Loraaga885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dox1ijq05
“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.”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EQXIEvOGX
“Will it try to eat me again if we free it” asked Cyable885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8kKvpk5We
“You intend to free this beast again?” asked Tulcakelume with a look of something less than frustration maybe curiosity885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiKsODW4PV
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 Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzeEoc6gZM
“It will not attack us” said Sivir885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCeJCssicW
Cyable took a step towards the bear885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07zPhAfS9o
“I think we should let it go it only attacked because I tried to kill it”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKFDmxk21i
“It attacked you” said Loraaga 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3cOg8E5Ul
“I shall have the forest release it” said Sivir 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWKspyx3yO
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPdFMPiRDf
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 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7EZRDG98u
“What are you doing it’s gonna kill er!!”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSN6oyo7aX
“It’s alright look” said Tulcakelum885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLdE7S37ev
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cA2I6lHpl
“Calm down” giggled Cyable as the fur tickled her thighs arms and midriff.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK2rID1Ksp
“It will stay wishes to help you and...” Sivir blushed “will you be his mate”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzhydOyyZb
“I am happy to accept its help but we barely know each other to be intimate” 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYA16TKjRT
“This one is might be some kinda freak” thought Tulcakelume and Loraaga 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ3ESbBqRm
Sivir was blushing even brighter.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPw9KYEpR2
“Well now that that’s over I will be on my way.” Said Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd464mjIlDj
“Wait a minute you we still have a score to settle” said Loraaga885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90SN6IXFDm
“Really? I thought it was already settle since this incident saved you “said Tulcakelume still walking away 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSchATRORJ
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 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRBB7INbX5
“What are you doing to her” yelled Cyable 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0afi379QfP
The bear and Sivir taking defensive positions in front of the scantily clad mage.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKduIe3zqNL
“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 absentmindedly885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JDg10GfGv
“I have no idea where you learned that but that is wrong even warriors choose death over slavery” said Loraaga standing up885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfG6hnYk85
“Sit” said Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWJnGoErFn
Loraaga sat 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OsMYPSefj
“Still works” 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaNBqEGgZT

“Me having my hand on your head is enough to warrant a defeat, now be silent”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsBwQx37h9

“He says his name is Uther” 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8exILyYtw
“Oh Uther, Sivir stop I don’t want any fighting” said Cyable885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9UhEZ3E5k
Uther moved back closer to Cyable and Sivir lowered her bow slowly885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVbZddQxLT
“There is no reason to enslave anyone her Tulcakelume.” 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghKnjDUuFT
“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 Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BCeNSQSdj
“What are you talking about?” said Cyable a confused look on her face885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFNCFteoH7
“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 Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M2je8JP6f
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 away885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPAS8BESue
Cyable went over to Sivir and placed a hand on the elf’s forehead 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozwaAc9AcJ
“You are sick you have a fever we must get back to the academy “885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjVZ6YIUVy
“I I I am fine” whispered Sivir885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90xzyCz7bt
“Nonsense we will go to the academy all of us” 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBAk95KHTd
Shrugging Tulcakelume agreed 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzmy3VGD5v
“Now how do we get out of this forest?” asked Cyable885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QtVsZKG3n

“…….”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYzYfpCGZu

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. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ84HUdM3Kl
“thank you again Sivir for guiding us back even though it was to take care of you I had you lead us back.”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8vsaxTE62
“It was no trouble dame Cyable” said Sivir looking down to avoid the young mages eyes885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtibPkHqf3d
“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 head885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyjpejYZUt

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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25ZjAopgfF
Cyable brought Sivir some water and patted the elf gently on the back when she had calmed down she continued885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE93Or5GAy

“Be silence” said Tulcakelume cutting of Loraaga who was once again rendered speechless 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNlcMGG4J0
“You still have her under that spell” said Cyable885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ63Bkvjsx
“Yes its actually quite permanent as long as she and I are alive she will be under my control” 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmB8f1lhN7
Loraaga made a wordless shout, a mix of fear anger and confusion on her face.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hU2TBiUCN
“Why so surprised it’s not like you live that long to regret fifty to eighty years and its over”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZgePnnxgn
“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 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKOrEEqTuq
“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 eye885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xM1XqUoAT
Loraaga felt a chill run down her spine, what is the elf going to do to me she wondered 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNRj2lUaUJ
“Do as you wish” said Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BIbSKAjOi
“Ah...I can speak now” said Loraaga a slight hesitation in her voice885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezuX2tKT8T
“Yes for now, back to the topic at hand this medicine does it work” asked Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1rlEiVpE3
“Betri en buist, not only did I learn the language but it is permanent as well” 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldHVRVlorf
“I see impressive” said Loraaga “but why a kiss?”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR984YFyjT
“Moving on” said Tulcakelume “I want to see if this will actually work “885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmFuPkR7Fq
“As am I, I have never tried it on a none human before”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UwH2HLWDA
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 this885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9s5wjU4Q1
“Uther stick out your tongue”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPtNjVV4sR
Uther complied 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXn07ViXYG

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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem5YcUapaw
“Well that was interesting” said Uther885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTzaWlw8kG
This time it was Loraaga’s turn to choke 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV6b4b3SQ2
“The bear it it talks” said Loraaga between breaths885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn81Ymkzfa
“Yes and quite well I must admit” said Uther 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqm8QDZzHk
Sivir was beside Cyable helping to clean of her face with a cloth.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vpHmOGjsd
“I am glad it works I need to make a note of this as well” said Cyable as she let herself be cleaned 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VKEqwGunh
“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?”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBX7knrsUa
“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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF88RvUjct
“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.”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJatJQy3SCD
“You have had a hard time until now Uther” said Cyable 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYwPyAqz5X
“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 Uther885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N5JUaXJV3
“You are a smooth talker for a bear” muttered Sivir885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCheXmvZ0q
“Fear not lady Sivir I have no intention of coming between you and”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaABXtGl6E
“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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK4kQEnMNN
“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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS2WdSqdup
“I was …hunting a bit” said Loraaga885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPxLnOZCnf
“I was sent here for enlightenment” 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO38eBoZynU
“What does that mean?” asked Loraaga 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FCxWPnj2e
“You will see soon enough since you are coming with me”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeDYKEr3jr
“Oh….wait What?!” exclaimed Loraaga885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiADt6YsuwK
“Well you are my servant as of recently so it’s no surprise you will follow me where I go”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BivzuzCc6
“But you said I was free!”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pJb1kWXz1
“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.”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75WW4y200X
“You” said Loraaga885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFzultSpQA
“That is lord Tulcakelume to you”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAy4uEOORc
“Ok that’s enough stop toying with her” said Cyable 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3G6paKuur
“Fine I see you seem to have come to some understanding of me sage” 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqpOB7XaxT
“Indeed you are not an evil person but you do have some dark shadows about you”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1fHrL7Jxn
“He is the destroyer, he is evil he just hides it behind all the light of priesthood” said Sivir 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn4n6g4IoY
“Why do you call him that” asked Uther885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0jxfDg1aw
“Yeah you said that in the forest too” said Loraaga885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw6EH4kp3v
“Indeed I was concerned when I was bound that one of you was called destroyer” said Uther885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80IOEUGo4K
“It is a rather ominous title” said Cyable885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6yXfCCpAu
“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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2vkYykruH
“You burnt down Sherent!!” exclaimed Cyable “that was one of the largest of the dark elves forest” 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1rzDlFg3n
“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.” 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ7Dok3S5P
“What of the elves of the forest” Loraaga asked885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhudH9TDXF
“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.”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqr2AAC38l
“You sound like you would have won from the beginning” said Loraaga885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhfYib6qEH
“We would they were stubborn and refused to”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHV9zgtnDh
“Refused to submit to your rule to let you do as you wish with us and our homes or lives!” hissed Sivir885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRE2zj2k5s
“Had you surrendered you would be free now and still have your precious forest” said Tulcakelume calmly885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jevENqxKA
“You monster!” said Sivir as she readied her bow 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpPQDRVcZC
“Defend”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdA2OPTMRh
Loraaga jumped in front of Tulcakelume 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDglYgsjPk
“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 dies885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jZcDZXk0U
“WHAT!” Loraaga exclaimed885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ISI5gT74L
“Yes forgot to mention that well what do you say” 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CPQIEwmQz
“She is one human” Sivir said as she pulled her bow back as far as she could885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGGacMmz8o
“Sivir!” Cyable cried in surprise885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszRzxkuzr3
“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 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQZgauW26X
“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”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZdoDYTqDV
Tulcakelume raised his hands in mock defeat “to think taught civility by a beast” he said with a smile885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnmqTkKpYw
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIa1zPFeKm
“Lady Sivir do not take his taunts seriously he is not an evil man…mostly” said Uther885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaGdq27r2e
Sivir lowered her bow “I am sorry Loraaga, I “885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4obFZvhzUH
“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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIfws7DdbK
“I had heard priests were the kindest and gentlest beings of this land second only to the fairies” said Cyable.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbdisZ3kzu
“Yes we all have exceptions, but indeed I have been rather cruel and I am sorry Ms. Sivir”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vwJLSTIr7
For a moment the room was silent all were shocked by this apology.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4IHuK3u85
Clearing her throat Cyable asked now that we have all calmed down maybe I can ask she thought885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld347KEr8y
“I would like to ask for your help in searching for a herb to make a potion to restore my magic”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUnYKxhsjh
“Fine we will go with you” said Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPZQBgpsB5
“Whose we?” asked Loraaga885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dTWQPmygS
“Why we is you and I after all what servant would leave her master alone and unarmed in a forest” 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4Dr0xBBag
“I am going to get you for this one day” she muttered885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqjQKOoQyP
“Uther you can rest here you had a terrible day and”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qUPOfFqY4
“I am fine dame Cyable I am a war bear after all I would be honored to go as well as Miss Sivir”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7BJ0pkFDB
“Is that true Sivir?” Cyable asked 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIdytzPM99
Sivir nodded in response. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUUbjCGE4O
“Thank you all! When we get back I shall make you dinner a feast?” said Cyable cheerfully885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8EDDIGldE
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGokXZxa5lK
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBtcQSHXdZ
“Let us rest for a while” said Tulcakelume 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyoALoJ1aY
“Tired already master Tulca” asked Loraaga mockingly885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWrWcBWHWj
“No but you and lady Cyable are”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1imLGlUI8
“I am fine Tulcakelume” said Cyable885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIigQWxIo2
“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.”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06ti3Dm8SG
“Fine, thank you I shall take up your offer.” Cyable said while resting against Uther.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlzNEP2dJM
“Sivir come down Sivir”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22UgnEzUIL
From the trees came a soft pat the sound of Sivir gently landing nearby. As she approached, Tulcakelume asked885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9qF1tzbXa
“Are there any animals nearby?”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1Z1eAFluw
“No they have all scattered”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sVbuc7R7m
“Good” 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzylr5TR5V
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmyDG6MG9g
“Now we rest” he said885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn410pznLn
“You can do that and you had me cutting branches and vines for you the whole time.” Said Loraaga 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj2MBs6s7P
“Yes I did but if you are mad be mad at the darkling who can command the vines themselves” said Tulcakelume enjoying himself885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JbeX8x019
Loraaga looked at Sivir who quickly looked away885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE07xQWKLE
“Sivir, you could do that the whole time?” asked Loraaga a angry vein on her forehead throbbing 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyUJzAdDll
“Yes but natural magics are not to be used trivially, as my mother taught me” said Sivir still not meeting Loraaga’s eyes 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIz9HuskEi
“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 Loraaga885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmxh1716Fz
“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 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU2uIzv9z4
“Though I am glad to have my fur”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v56voL88e
“Come here” said Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKIVeug7BC
Loraaga shuffled tiredly over to Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvqs5MAEW8
“What master” asked Loraaga885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXe6TWuuJ4
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 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejo0zxWZ9H
“Thank you master…Stop making me call you master!!”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ0jlJkVXt
Tulcakelume laughed “I have not had this much fun in years since ahh I can’t remember”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzztuwNP9p
Still rubbing the spots that no longer itched or ached Loraaga looked at Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUh5RJrNWh
“Didn’t you say you would stop controlling me” she pressed885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1sfdCyFR7
“And I have for the most part, I have not given you any orders except to clear a path for us”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1UX34YB7A
Loraaga looked stunned 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgNCiauyVj
“Indeed Tulcakelume has not given you any orders since we left the house” said Cyable885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7EpOV9WQV
“Exactly lady Cyable, he did not stop the earlier command to have her call him master” said Sivir885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eS9sY7cOa
“Remove the command master!” said Loraaga 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohTdyiQkxr
“Indeed Tulcakelume, remove the command it must be terrible being controlled” said Cyable885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisoG8WW0E6
“Call Cyable great sage” said Tulcakelume with a smile885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9adVlUyXb
“Great Sage Cyable stop him” Loraaga said885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXZYHjQBKj
Cyable had a look of pure bliss on her face885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyWWyWpJjr
“….Great Sage Cyable?”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluRGz6mHbo
“Maybe it’s not so bad to leave things as they are for a little longer” said Cyable still glowing885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAyi8sQSgq
Sivir and Uther looked at each other slightly confused and looked back at the sage who was glowing.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9OkWtOiE1
Loraaga sat down and gave up 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAyasgeyN4
“I think you should get some sleep Loraaga” said Tulcakelume 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw418Dgsf7
With a sigh Loraaga lay down to sleep885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl8XAHKPSG
After a few minutes if silence 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w8tOsxHR1
“I think I will turn in for the night as well” said Cyable 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv5NSIyrWr
“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 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhF72SizWc
“Thank you Uther, Sivir would you like to join us”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmfPyBrROE
Unable to speak the dark elf pulled her hood over her face and nodded885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KEqag2zTc
“If you do not mind would you let Loraaga sleep with you as well” asked Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu3PZK7eaF
“I am big enough for all” 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1l0Z5uk7t
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIdx7o6YBs
“Is it alright for us to be taking this break after all I am taking up your time?”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U25sMmX6z
Cyable was cut off by Tulcakelume who raised a hand885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DbNOJYQBo
“Haste in this forest will only lead to misfortune” said Sivir885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03rSFJlWda
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybkSvGnd2q
When all had fallen asleep Tulcakelume moved over to the fire and began to think about the past few days.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqKw2CEqmW
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSdb4sUuA4
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. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNeMdK75Fx
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2TiV7dwpL
“Is she possessed?” Sivir asked Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQLZIwPPXE
“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.”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oD7KKMXI5
“Is there a way to help her?”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4PVmvi9m7
“Do you still remember why you distrust me?”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv8PHOrm8l
“You burned down my home and killed my people”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77j0wATUS8
“Are you able to forget?”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlxERY95co
“I will never forget”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCRFOLsYZq
“That is the same for this one here”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62wDBuFIeO
Sivir and Tulcakelume were silent for a time, the silence was broken by Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTijcEdW2ft
“When she rises I will ask her what”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIosEvqJ7d
“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 Sivir885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RkQMDUS7u
“The sooner I know the sooner I can make her forget”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCRe2Zl3v2
“You high elves think you have the right to tamper with the minds of others, is nothing sacred to you” snapped Sivir885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ekaw1kdn9
“Would you rather see her tear herself apart every night instead darkling”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZP3qLKEdz
“I never, no but this is her trial not our”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYw4NQgjFy
“I believe it would be better to wait till she brings it up herself” said Uther 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrUpzTf12j
“Did we wake you Uther my apologies” said Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HLaVgfr0F
“I have been awake from Loraaga started to moan, I covered dame Cyable’s ears when Sivir moved” said Uther885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcpb2Zynic
“So you think we should leave her be as well Uther” asked Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf2ZKsLVfp
“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 Uther885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz1FGa5fvn
Sivir nodded 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxHnO7gtzA
“Very well, Sivir might I ask you to take over watch I seem to be restrained” said Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUkHoeTSvA
Sivir nodded once more885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpf8ulUqNV
With a chant a tree root raised to support Tulcakelume’s back as he was held by Loraaga885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL64qtjNXxt
“…Thank you”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8MUGPsfNR
“I did it for the human” said Sivir885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBFQapbfpj
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEqCWb1LS0
Now again he finds Loraaga in the throes of a nightmare once more Tulcakelume embraces her and holds her firmly. The thrashing calmed.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mNHkJC9UJ
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhgp8vpMn3
“How do you feel this morning” Tulcakelume asked885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGsTY6nNwB
“Y y you knew I was awake” she stammered885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQQO6MkHrd
“Yes I can tell the difference in your breathing, I am glad you have controlled yourself this morning.”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivzxzcyJPU
Loraaga quickly got to her feet885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8YfD00PPi
“I’m gonna get some eats…y you want any” she asked timidly885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxed6qwqb8N
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 answer885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPVl5ylrQ6
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGARGbJlZOc

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 .885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gGJ4O5Jxs
“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 said885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXLLD0Dryr
As she was talking Sivir rolled over half asleep she hugged Cyable885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcGK4LlaNY
“Sivir dear are you alright”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9Rkriyb7E
Sivir mumbles something before resting her head on Cyable’s chest and falling back to sleep885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJXsEoDgIo
“I think it would be better if we made breakfast” said Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv1E49syEB
“What are you going to make” she asked885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98lUdxTOSj
“I have no idea I have never cooked before” said Tulcakelume885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOJEG5UpDz
Loraaga and Cyable looked at each other 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOicECGhCC
“Loraaga could you”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCwvhDlomS
“Yeah I’ll do it”885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp8JFnZcnG

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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEyXTcH7EG
The search for the herb continued this unusual group found that they got along very well for a group made under these unusual circumstances.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwKrUUoPRy

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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4AfMMz1ev
