Kuriel and Good Intentions....

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 12916

Maybe once things get settled down something could be done to verify the young mage's assessment of the situation.

That's just about the time when Ti'mma grows glassy eyed and nearly falls over in shock!

"No!" she gasps, looking at something that she sees happening in her mind's eye.

She senses the awakening of several elfin children nearby in one elfin tree house.

It had had been scheduled to be a special, happy day. Ten little children, a mixture of boys and girls, who all were very different in appearance and temperament....but all share one common quality. They all were born on the same day, within seconds of each other!

They were in a private room, contemplating their lives as per usual elfin custom in such celebrations just before the wild festivities to celebrate life when it struck!

Curthis'el, always a moody and brooding child since birth, is the first to regain his voice after the shock of it all.

"I'm GOING TO KILL HIM!!" he roared as his memories of Cutter, the elfin chief of the Tribe of Wolfriders, washes forth.

He remembers the joy he'd had as his family that Rayek had kidnapped in his mad quest to prevent the events that caused the High One's (the ancestors of all elves on the World of Two Moons) to crash land back in that world's Stone Ages. In doing so, he'd erase all that had come of it, including the birth of every elf who came from the High Ones...but surely he could bring himself to do it while looking his victims in the eye! Even he wasn't that cruel..... That was something well beyond what an elf could do!

But....just as the final seconds to the accident that threw the younger Palace back into the past were ticking down.....a look of insanity or....something overcame the aghast looking Rayek and he willed his Palace (the older version of the younger Palace that was just beginning to form above them all in the skies).

Cutter and the others cried out in shock as Rayek flew his Palace up to the other Palace! The last thing that Curthis'el/Cutter remembered was a roaring explosion, a flash of light, and searing pain as he and his Tribe....everything.....burned!

The young/old Woldrider goes on in that vein for a bit more, calling for Rayek's damnation (a concept he'd learned from his Terra Prime parents) when a hand clamped down on his shoulder

Thanti' Falc, (aka Kuriel back on the World of Two Moons) is the next speak.

"Do NOT ever speak of doing that to another soul," he says simply, remembering.

Curthis'el/Cutter turned and is about to give what he still thought was just an eight year old friend a long and loud lecture at just WHY Rayek deserved to burn in Hell.

  1. That's when Thanti'Falc quietly reveals the events he experienced so long ago.....
