Artizza

"I suppose..." Aialia breaks off, then resumes in an urgent whisper. "I can hear someone or something approaching our hide-out. I don't suppose that they'll be able to find us, though, so long as we keep quiet."

Thankfully, whoever (or whatever) is out there fails to find us. Where our woodlore failed, Aialia succeeded. Must learn what we can from her, soon enough. There is much we could learn, indeed! The false trails alone could....

Ah, well, anyway we all remain silent (including the little infant, who's under a silence spell). We're making sure she's not ignored, so no distress shall come to the little one...

....

She's so . . . cute! Despite what she'd done in the past I'll admit that the infant is surely at least that...

Well, at least the humans get their rest and us elves our rest.

Yes, so we do remain quiet, verbally. Mentally, it is a different matter. Alas, being that Aialia here has not yet become a Champion, let had one of the dragon mages swear her into the Circle (formerly known as a Dragon Circle until us non-Dragons of the Eternity Inc got into the mix) she cannot be part of our discussion. She has become an elf, but apparently an elf without the mystical sparks that includes mind speech.

Pity, but IF I and the others are correct on the theory we'd come up with while in flight to this campsite, then soon enough that'll be remedied. Yes, even IF we're wrong in our admittedly iffy theory about what the Rules and Agents might wish to do with these "unaligned" Champions (in effect they're Champions because of that Eden fruit for all intents), then with that ceremony we'd be able to speak with her (and perhaps the other Dancers) once this Quest is done (those who choose to come live with us on Terra Prime and whatnot).

Anyway, bottom line while we wait we make plans. Nothing particularly Earth shattering (as Earthers would put it), but still best to plan for the future. So far, so good. We've been able to bring a possible new member to our Clan (which we can always use an extra helping hand in this Quest business). Next step is to deblockify one of the other Dancers and chat with her (ALL of the Dancers except for perhaps the quick silver dancer are female, including the black bear who've we need a magical device to speak with) and have the same conversation we'd had with my sister, Aialia.

Quickly, we dismiss (for now) trying to have the next conversation with the unicorn centaur female (she of the silver skin) because of a simple fact. Of ALL of the Dancers she has the most mass! We decide that perhaps the next one should be that green haired dryad. Not only will it open the door for her for our Clan, but at least THIS way we shall give her (and eventually we hope all) of the Dancers a much better briefing that what time had afforded, before.

Too bad we cannot afford to deblockify ALL the Dancers. Talk with all of them while the humans sleep. However, the thing is that the mages say that while they're able to put up magical warding that might allow Stryke and his allies to home in on any special qualities the Dancers might process they cannot gaurantee being able to shield more than one at a time. With all but one as a block, that's okay. More than one?

Still, no unwanted company or not, it's a LONG night with those damnable hunters about (thumping around in the silence). Doubt that the humans could hear it, but to our elfin hearing? Yep.


The next day the wood elf ranger returns to block form and the block that is the green haired nymph is brought forth.

  1. "Hello," Joan 2 greets her. "Now that we're in a better position perhaps we can answer more questions you might have?"
