The Tavern Party

#1

::It is late at night and the moon is full. A lively party is taking place in the local tavern. Dancers dance, musicians play, the crowd cheers, and bartenders serve ale and grog. Morgandy the Forest Fae watches the action silently from a dark corner.::

In a lone corner stands a mysterious elfin girl and her companion an elvin boy they look ot be the age of 20 but all know they are likely much older. The girl is gracefully thin and has long brown hair streaked fairly with gold she has eyes so green that they resemble the vibrant green of the new lily pads in the summer... her companion is a handsome elf with straight long blonde hair his eyes in turn are the color of such rich soil that replinshes the very earth. As they sit speaking quitly to each other a shriek is heard out side they leap from their table rushing out side to find nothing she only one other seemed to hear the shriek and there under the lantern she could be seen...

::Morgandy hears the shrill cry and quickly runs to Adel's side. "Did you hear that too, my elfin friend?" Morgandy then looks under the lantern at a figure.

The two young elves where suprised to see the Fae but quickly nodded there heads in response. The young elvin girl held out her hand "I am Irinya and this is my friend Rode. We come from the forests of Hillanya. I sense that something isn't right here. You to heard the vioce when the others did not... Come with us will you?

OOC: Oh jeez...You should've told me you were a different character now! :oops: Anyway...
"Yes," Morgandy nodded. "I did hear it. And by the way, I thought you were someone else I knew that's a friend of mine, I'm sorry. I was mistaken. But I will still help you two."

::Morgandy unhitches her horse companion, Augustine, from her post. She leads the mare by her reins.::

Rode led the two others to the a near by inn we can rest here for the night! As soon as they got situated in there room, they began to learn about each others background to see if they had anything in common. Though the two elves came form the same woodland city they knew very little of each other. Rode began, "The elvin girl knew very little of her past she could only remember the deaths of her parents anything before only visited her in her dreams after the tragic deaths of her parents the kind Queen took pity on the child and offered her a home where she could stay as a servant girl... however she was rarely treated like one ... I am Royal Prince of Hirinya and though I remember seeing the girl offen I was rarely allowed to socialize with her...... a few months ago Iriniya began to have dreams of things untold she could see things now not only of her forgotten past but things that are not of this world some are good and others bad there is one that is repeated but she dare not speak of it now She told the Queen, who was now like her mother that she had to leave, ... she had to leave and follow were her dreams were leading she knew not if they were leading her too her doom at hearing this she immediatly called all of the palace guards to her to ask who would accompany her as her protector on this quest when none of the guards would offer their services to a servant girl I said I would go... so her we stand to day... I pray Fae tell me your story..

Tavern Party

OOC: Sorry, Adel... :oops: My computer was having problems again so I left. I'll come back tomorrow.

::Morgandy cleared her throat and began her tale. "I was born in the woods near 1000 years ago. My parents were Forest Faes, Harmony and Trynid. I grew up in the forest and for a long time was very happy. However, when I was only 100 years old, my parents passed away to the Fae Forest in the sky. I was quite devastated as I loved my parents dearly. I then became allied with the other faes of the forest; gaining their trust and protection. One day, being the curious Fae as I was, I traveled to this very village. I met a young mortal man, and fell in love. He also fell in love with me. For many years, we were together in peace and happiness. However, mortals die quickly and fade away. This man grew old, and I told him we could no longer see each other, for we would never last. Till his death he lived in anguish, and I could not be there for him. I did watch over his funeral, though, and blessed him so that he could go to mortal heaven. For many years following I stayed in hiding in my forest home. There, I lived in anguish and sorrow; longing for my long lost love. The other Faes of the forest, my friends, saw me this way and encouraged me to again travel to the village, and make friends, not loves. So I did, and that was just recently. I have been visiting the village again now a month. And so, that is my tale." Morgandy remained in silence after her tale was told.::

"You both have seen your parents fade away but I have not... "spoke Rode "And yet I heard the shriek clearly... Why..." after thinking on it a while The elves decided to sleep and leave early the next morn in hopes of redeeming their quest.... Irinya spoke " I do hope you will come with us Morgandy I do not know why but you too fit in this somewhere..."

Tavern Party

#10

Morgandy nodded. "Yes, I have that same feeling. I will come with you. Goodnight." And with that, Morgandy climbed into her bed and fell fast asleep.

Tavern Party

#11

They drew themselves up tightly and began to sleep peacefully... Iriniya eyes began to twitch fiercely a dream was upon her... There she saw a boy just yet a babe... there in front of him was man and wife. What she felt was his parents... They were well dressed and elvin. Looks of fear filled there faces... she tried to see what they feared but as she looked about the image always seemed to escape her vision just as she moved her head................. Then there was a whirlwind a blur of fantastic colors swirling ... whirling about her she saw herself as a small child she clutched something tightly in her left hand...... it burned her and yet she held it feircly..... she was in the forest she knew this forest but could not describe it...... she to felt the presence an evil... she did not know its source but she knew it was there she searched all about for it ..... she kept telling herself "It is here.... I have got to find it.... its here I know its here... I have to save... I have to save..... " As she repeated to herself she began to feel herself shake ..... no she was being shaken she opened her eyes ready for fight and flight she began to struggle against whatever was holding her forearms she heard a voice this was a comforting voice calling her name she saw him Rode.......... Rode... Clutching her tightly was Rode. He drew her to him rocking her gently, "Shhhhh, Its okay your back with us now..... Morgandy will you please go and wet some cloth; she is burning up!........

Tavern Party

#12

::Morgandy, with a look of worry on her face, nodded and quickly got out of bed to fetch a wet cloth. As she went to the pail of warm water near the door and wetted a nearby cloth, the Fae thought to herself. Irinya had been talking to herself in her sleep. She had said something like, "...I know it's here, I have to save..." Morgandy wondered if she had been dreaming about her parents. She also wondered where this mysterious journey would lead her and her new elven friends. She knew going on a long journey would delay her from seeing her beautiful forest home, for a very long time. Yet in her heart, Morgandy knew this was what she was supposed to be doing, whatever it was. The young Fae put aside these thoughts and brought the wet cloth to Irinya.::

Tavern Party

#13

Rode thanked Morgandy as she returned with the cloth. Rode began to dab her cold sweat drenched face her eyes were now full of tears, "It was so real Rode so real.... My hand it still burns... It burns........" Rode could now see that her left hand was still clutched tightly about something. " Iriniya open you hand.... open your hand ...." Iriniya feeling weakened listened to what her freind had said. As she slowly opened her hand a small perfectly shaped oval crystal fell from her hand.... she then collapsed....

Rode checked her, "She is asleep now" Rode picked the crystal up... " Look at it it is flawless have you ever seen anything like it?" the crystal was oval in shape and perfectly smooth. It was completly transparent with just a hint of blue coloration. It gleamed in the lanteren light......... then Rode saw something just on the edge it was etchings of some kind.... words of a language that he knew nothing about...... I guess that will be our next move... we will go to the land of my forefathers there they will tell us what these markings mean I believe I know just the man to see.....

Tavern Party

#14

::Morgandy stared in disbelief at the beautiful crystal. She had heard of it before....It's evil powers....A land not too far away....A dark and powerful witch....A curse....Morgandy tried desperately to put these clues together, yet it had been so long ago....She hardly remembered that fateful day...Morgandy realized she was drifting off in thought and quickly returned back to reality. She nodded her head.:: "Yes," Morgandy replied. "I suppose we will have to leave again." ::She dared not yet tell Rode or Irinya her thoughts, yet she knew not why she did.::

Tavern Party

#15

::Morgandy climbed into bed and tried to get a little more sleep before dawn, when they would leave. However, she found sleep was difficult. Morgandy kept thinking about that crystal. Again, she tried so hard to put the clues she had together. Finally, she remembered. Exactly 970 years ago, when Morgandy was only thirty, she had come across an old, shabby hut. The hut was in the middle of Wenden, and the formidable witch, Yuna, lived in the hut. Morgandy, being young and foolish, entered the hut where Yuna caught sight of her and became very angry. She put a curse on the poor Fae that if ever she came across an opal-shaped crystal with a hint of blue and a language etched on the side, that she would not destroy it for it's evil powers, but be forced to bring it to her, Yuna, to make her the most powerful witch in all the world. Morgandy had then fled from the hut in a fit of fear till she came to her forest home. She never told anyone about her terrible curse. Now remembering everything, Morgandy knew the crystal must be destroyed, but that her curse would forbid her from doing so. However, she remembered her vow to herself that if ever she came across this crystal, that she would try with all her might not to bring it to Yuna. Now remembering these thoughts, Morgandy could'nt sleep the rest of the night, and watched the dawn sunshine rise from behind the mountains. Morgandy knew she should tell Irinya and Rode about her curse and the crystal's evil powers, but she hesitated out of procrastination, and did not tell the elves yet of this.::

Tavern Party

#16

OOC: the plot thickens...

They allowed Irinya her rest as they began to pack there things... "We must leave berfore first light.... And follow the full moon to the forest.... It has been nearly a year since I have been home. I onlyfear that its sweet return will make so much harder to leave it once again..."

Tavern Party

#17

OOC: Yes, I try... :roll:
::Morgandy kept her secret longer and nodded. She knew it would'nt be long before she would be forced to bring the crystal to Yuna. Rode and Irinya would have to keep Morgandy away from the crystal and try to destroy it. She knew they could not linger in their forest home, however much Rode wanted to.:: "Um..." Morgandy started uneasily. "Maybe we should bring the crystal. I mean, it's beautiful. Why don't you keep it?" ::Morgandy came up with this excuse only so they could not lose the crystal. She knew, in the end, that it would have to be destroyed for it's evil powers and not kept by Rode. They could'nt just leave it, either. They could'nt let someone else find it and use it for it's evil purposes.::

Tavern Party

#18

OOC: Sorry about my mistake in my last post. (The etchings getting examined; leaving the crystal behind.) Just ignore that part.

::Morgandy packed quickly and made sure Rode kept the crystal safe in his pocket. The urge to take it had'nt started yet, luckily. Morgandy didn't know how long it would be though, before it would take hold of her. They were all three ready in the middle of dawn. When Irinya woke up, she seemed well rested and calm. Morgandy told her of the journey they had to take and why. Again, Morgandy refused to herself to tell them of her curse. She would again, wait longer. Morgandy offered them some apples from her pack to eat along the way. As they left the Inn at nearly seven o' clock, Morgandy unhitched Augustine from her post and they set off.::

Tavern Party

#19

OOC: Actually it isn't dawn yet It would have to be a good bit off cause they have to follow the full moon to find the forest (referring to a previous post!)

Tavern Party

#20

Taking the apples the travelers made their way through the night... the full mood and clear night allowed them a safe journey Rode gave the crystal once again to Iriniya he knew it belonged to her and that it was safest while it was still clutched in her hand... each member of the party was silent keeping to there own thoughts... each had plenty to think about... Rodes mind rested on "who was she trying to save? Iriniya doesn't remember anything of her dreams... but what if she isn't saying because it was to horrible.... was something to do with her past or was it a premonition of their future was she trying to save one of us? was it her parents? also where had the crystal come from had she had it all along? or was it from her dream and why did it burn her hand? there are to many questions.... to many question..." all these things raced through his mind and yet he was afraid to bring them up... afriad of bringing Iriniya more pain..... he wondered about the girl he had grown up with her yet never had seen her as he saw her tonight... "she is a different now.... different than who she was before we left... before she was just a face I would see every now and again... one that I never payed attention to.... now she is a real person with real feelings and fears.... I do feel however that her fears differ from those of a normal girl...

Tavern Party

#21

OOC: Ok, then. Just ignore the "dawn" part. :oops:

::Morgandy also kept silent and to her own thoughts. She herself didn't eat an apple; her stomach was twisting with her guilty concsience. The Fae also thought of why the crystal had appeared in Irinya's hand. She didn't know why it could just transport itself there, out of nowhere. Then, she thought, maybe someone summoned it to be in Irinya's hand. Whatever it was, Morgandy was almost sure there was some dark magic brewing. She finally decided to tell Rode and Irinya of her curse when they got to their home. Then and there, she could finally get this heavy burden off her shoulders. However, Morgandy also had the chilling feeling that they were being watched. Every once in a while she would look over her shoulder, as if she thought someone was following them. Morgandy knew, though the others didn't know it, that she was a threat to them and their eventual mission. She hated having this terrible curse, and knew she would try to fight it as best she could. She would also protect her new friends with all her might. Morgandy still knew, though, that if she did become a dangerous threat to Rode and Irinya, that they must send her away and off this quest immediately. Even though they all now shared a tight bond of friendship, Morgandy wanted her friends to be safe, even that was, if it was safety from herself.::

After walking for nearly four hours the first light of dawn peeked over the horizon.... " Here is where we rest we can not go anywhere while sun is up only when we follow the moon can we arrive at the forest.... sleep well my friends for tonight we walk all night to arrive tomorrow in the forest!

Tavern Party

OOC: Hi. mind if I join. Ill be an elven druid.

Tavern Party

#24

OOC: It's fine with me, Svyel! What about you, Adel?

::Morgandy agreed to rest for a while but would'nt sleep. She remembered that she would protect her friends as best she could, and decided to keep watch for anything suspicious. Rode and Irinya fell asleep within minutes. Morgandy felt hungry, so she took an apple from her pack. The morning hours flew by like minutes. Morgandy, finally deciding there was no danger, saddled up Augustine and rode off a ways into the forest. This forest was not Morgandy's forest home, but a forest on the opposite side of the Citadel. Morgandy had never been here before, and it's land was unfamiliar to her. She wished dearly to go back to her home, knowing that if this unexpected quest had'nt come up, Morgandy would be spending a peaceful day in her home. She quickly put aside these thoughts, though, and hoped beyond hope that she would come back to her forest home again.::

:D OOC: the more the merrier! We just have to find a clever way of introducing you..... OOOhhhhh I have a great Idea we are going to be arriving back in Iriniya's and Rodes forest home to seek someone who knows the meaning of the etchings on the crystal! You could be the expert them when you cannot be sure of its powers or origin...... so facinated with it you join! What do you think! Morgandy? Svyel? p.s. just be sure to read the previous posts so you know whats going on! If you have something else in mind please share! :D

Rode now clearly seeing the moon began the journey onward as well " We should reach the gates tonight....Morgandy, Iriniya, I wish you girls wouldn't stray so far ahead. Morgandy, Iriniya is with you? isn't she?" as Rode said this he realized that Iriniya was no longer in sight. Frantically he began to look around. He drew his sword.... as he did so a sound...... a erie, yet enchanting song closed around his ears.... he followed the song..... it seemed to bewitch him... it was so... pure so..... light.... he weaved his way through the entanglement of forest and vine ............. then as he parted the swaying, limp, limbs of a weeping willow He saw Her ....... Iriniya, as he never had before. She knelt beside a placid lake her back to Rode.... she sang..... she sang a song of unknown times a song as old as the earth...... as she sang a fountain of clear, pure, water leapt from the center of the once still lake.....where it rose and fell with her voice; with the notes of her song..... Rode went to her and gently touched her shoulder... she gasped, " Rode I .......... I am sorry... I didn't realize......... the time got away from me..." Rode looked at her " Could you always do that? could you always sing and the water would..... well.........?" Iriniya looked at him with shame in her eyes......... she quickly looked away.... " Yes, I could always do that Not just with water Fire and any other natural spirit I can usually control it but sometimes if I am really emotional ....things happen.... Please don't tell anyone they will think I am a monster..........." frantically she pleaded with him "Please say nothing, I never hurt anyone... never ...It won't work that way ... people will fear me if they know..." Rode grasped her " No..... No ... no one will fear you.... you have an amazing gift... the Druid that we will talk with about the crystal perhaps he can answer some questions.... Now we must continue on...The elvin city lies just ahead...... No worries then..... Morgandy must be worried by now ... We won't tell her of your gift just yet.... It will take to long ot descripe better to only have to repeat it once for her and the druid! Come along now...off we go"

Tavern Party

#26

OOC: All right, where were we....Oh yes! Ahem... :wink:

::Morgandy was busy searching a seperate area of the woods. She was concerned for Irinya too. Like Rode, Morgandy also heard the strange music, but it was hardly unlike the music of the Faes, so it was nothing odd to her. Little did she know it was Irinya singing and raising water with her voice. Soon, through Morgandy's frantic searching and scrambling through the thick trees, she heard Rode's voice calling her back and immediately followed it back to the main road. There, standing beside Rode, was Irinya. Completely calm and unhurt. Morgandy gaped in amazement. "Wa-" She stammered. "Where have you been, Irinya?! Rode and I were worried!" The confused and clueless Fae couldn't understand why the two elves had such gleeful looks on their faces.::

" I am sorry Morgandy I didn't wish to worry you I only needed to think... I found a lake nearby and its beauty was so great that it completely took me in and I lost track of time! Do forgive me but all will be explained after we reach the gates of Hillanya...." Rode now began to speak as he hastened his step, "Now we must hurry on we have to reach the gates while the moon still shines upon them. The gates lay just after a long and dangerous plainland that is easy to travel but provides us with little cover....We know now that these are dangerous times and to have no choice but waint an entire day on an open field would be to much risk let us now go forth...

OOC: That intro is fine wit me. I GET TO BE A CRYSTAL GENIUS!!!!! YYYYAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!
Sorry. I'll keep quiet.

#29

OOC: Thats right I figured I would let you comem up with your own name (doesn't have to be Svyel) mistake I made at first! Umm when you turn comes up please leave a discription of your character!

The three traveled faster and faster under the quite shadow of night.... the night was getting late they had seen nothing but open field since they left the forest dwelling. The moon was full and bright it cast a silver glow over the barren land As they traveled they now saw a forest before them. Rode slowed his pace as he walked up to the forest wall then he placed his hand on a tree and whispered something and as he did this a gate appeared before the company.. he walked up to the gate and placed his left hand on the gate then a brilliant white light was given off it made th etravelers shield there eyes this light had incredible wrmth and as it slowly faded once again into the sleepy light of the moon they had no choice but to wait until there eyes allowed them to ajust to the sudden change in light.... were the gate once stood now lay a city.........

This city was simplistic in its beauty evey thing had a gleam about it the water looked like diamonds made liquid; it had such clarity.... the people were so courteous and offered them food and drink no one had recognized the prince yet then he called to the nearest Guard, " Sir I must see the King... the guard said at once who am I to say who calls... he said Tell him it is Rode...

The king was over joyed ot once again see his son then he whispered in his ear .... "father my jupuiney is not over yet I must speek to the druid at once it is of great importance... "I will call him but first you must go and refresh yourselves ...." He called a maid and quickly they retreated to different rooms were they were bathed and given new clothes to wear.....
when they were sent word to come and meet in the study the druid has arrived...

OOC: Ha ha, Svyel... :lol: The following is a reply to Adel's message before last.

::Morgandy nodded to Irinya. "All right, Irinya. I'm sorry if I sounded angry. I was just worried about you." For the moment, Morgandy ignored the urge to ask about the strange music. She let Augustine walk freely without holding her reins, for the loyal horse followed Morgandy. Suddenly, an uncrontrollable urge to take the crystal swept over Morgandy for the first time. She tried desperately to fight it, and hoped the elves didn't notice Morgandy acting strange. She knew she could've never avoided this curse's effects, but still fought it. Sweat now trickled down her forehead, she was trembling slightly, and her eyes flitted this way and that nervously; all in an effort to avoid taking the crystal.::

Tavern Party

#31

OOC: This following post is a reply to Adel's last post.

::Morgandy couldn't believe her eyes. The city was like nothing she had ever seen! Her forest home had its natural beauty unspoiled by civilization, and had many grand towers and buildings where the Faes lived, but none was like this city of glittering jewels. She walked in a slight daze with Rode and Irinya with frantic Augustine behind her. The poor horse was frantic with shock at this bright city, and no one could calm her for only Morgandy could charm that horse, and she was unaware. The fae soon regained her wits when they entered the palace, though. A stable boy offered to take Augustine to the stable, and Morgandy quickly calmed her frightened horse so the boy could take her. After Rode spoke to his father, the King of Hillanya, the three of them followed a maid to each of their seperate rooms.

Morgandy's room was quite luxurious and spacious. The bed sheets and blankets were red velvet, and the wood of the dresser, table, two chairs, and vanity was dark mohagony. there were two wax candles in the room, and red velvet drapes hung lazily over the large window looking out on the palace courtyard. Morgandy was brought back to her senses when the maid asked her name and where she came from. "I've never seen a Fae before. Forgive me for my intruding, but I am quite interested." Morgandy took no offense at all, and answered her question. "My name is Morgandy. I am a Forest Fae from the Eastern forest of the nearby Citadel. I have come with Rode and Irinya on a quest. But I am sorry I cannot tell you of the quest's purpose, for it is very secret." The maid nodded. She asked if Morgandy would like a warm bath and fresh clothes, and Morgandy accepted. She took comfort in the bath, and changed into fresh new clothes. The gown Morgandy received was light golden with silver trim. She also got golden slippers, and a silver circlet for her head. Morgandy exited her new room and met Rode and Irinya in the hall, both looking regal themselves. They then went to the study, where the met the Druid who would examine the crystal and tell them about it. Morgandy felt a sharp pain of guilt as she remembered her curse.::

The clothes laid out for them were Quite vibrant Rodes were in the traditional Colors of royalty ( white and burgandy) where as Iriniya was dressed in a simple white gown that elegantly hugged her waist only to fall like a white blossom to the ground It sparkled like the dew one finds on a flower aroung her wiast was a belt made of jade it matched her eyes.... Rode had to look twice in order to be sure that It was truely Irinya.... she smiled and said, "Rode you look so handsome..." then the queen came into the room "Rode my dear I have missed you so.... and Iriniya You look amazing come now give me a hug... you must be Morgandy It is nice to have met you my you look so pretty too you must all jion us in a celebration for your return..." Rode looked at his mother sadly... " I am sorry mother there is no time we must see the druid and be on our way tonight we will have dinner with you and Father then at mornings light we must leave...." The queen looked at her son " You are right... my son you have grown so much since last I saw you.... come now I will take you to the druid..."

Tavern Party

#33

::Morgandy was flattered by the Queen's kind words. She had never been around such wonderful hostpitality, let alone in such a grand place as this. Seeing Rode and his mother, the Queen, act so towards each other as a family should, reminded Morgandy of her family: her parents, who had died long ago. Morgandy knew it was a Fae's duty to accept that one's parents die early and leave a Fae on it's own in the world, but remembering them hurt so much, for her parents had been her closest friends in the world. Returning to the present situation, Morgandy walked along with Rode and Irinya following the Queen to see the Druid. Morgandy was slightly confused about this matter, for she had heard that they would meet the Druid in the study.
Morgandy looked over at Rode and Irinya, who looked so happy to be back in their home again and seeing the King and Queen. Morgandy tried to share their happiness, but as time went on, all she could think about was how much she missed her own home and parents. Also, the moment when she would have to explain her curse was drawing nearer and nearer, and her guilty conscience was driving Morgandy crazy.::

Tavern Party

#34

Iriniya also breatherd worriedly for her secret would soon be out as well.... Rode looked at her as they walked and placed his hand in hers " It's going to be fine I promise...." quickly releasing her hand as they entered the study......

Tavern Party

#35

::Morgandy overheard Rode say this to Irinya, and wondered what he was talking about. She soon dismissed the thought, for she thought it was of little importance to her, and Irinya probably just had nerves about meeting a Druid. Suddenly, a second urge to take the crystal swept over Morgandy. She grasped her hands tightly together and tried her best not to look strange. The fae couldn't keep her body from trembling though, and sweat again seeped from her brow. She tried to keep her thoughts on other things than Yuna and the crystal. However, a small voice in her head whispered, "...just take it...who cares about the others...Yuna is ruler...Yuna is ruler of everything...you and the witch could be great together...you could both rule...take the crystal now and give it Yuna...take it...Take it!" Morgandy screamed a blood-curdling scream and was suddenly brought back to concsiousness. She was lying on her side on the floor, curled up in a ball and shaking. Tears clouded her vision, but she could see clearly that everyone near, was staring at her.::

Tavern Party

#36

Iriniya fell to the floor and at once grasped the fae quickly fanning her with her hands she shouted to Rode, " quickly get some cold water and a cloth.... bring also some blankets....," she then called out to the gaurds in the castle, "please lift her and carry her to her quarters... I will get the druid and see if he can see what illness lay upon her...." quickly Iriniya went to the study to find the druid as she walked in she saw...

Tavern Party

#37

OOC: Good to have you back! :D

::Morgandy was half-concsious while all this was happening. She heard Irinya shouting for water, a cloth, and blankets, and heard her shout to the guards to carry her to her bedchmber. She tried desperately to put together what had just happened. A voice, a cruel, cold voice, had tried to persuade her to take the crystal to Yuna. She wondered if it had been Yuna herself transporting her voice into Morgandy's head and persuading her. 'Evil Yuna...' thought the Fae as damp cloths were dabbed on her brow. 'If ever I get the chance...I'll kill that terrible witch!' Morgandy felt a soft blanket wrap around her and strong, sturdy hands lift her up and carry her. They carried Morgandy, still sweating and slightly shaking, to her bed. Moragndy saw two tall guards leave her room quietly. Now alone, Morgandy began to slip in and out of concsiousness. She woke what seemed like much later on, to cold hands gently touching her brow. Morgandy finally regained full conciousness and gasped in shock. Standing around her was a tall, grey-haired old man who must have been the Druid, Irinya, Rode, and the Queen; all looking confused and concerned for Morgandy. The tormented Fae sat up straight in her bed and looked around at them all. "Well," she said with a heavy sigh. "I suppose I have to explain myself"::

OOC: Is it good to have me back, too?

OOC: I Assume this is my queue.

The druid dabbed the girls forehead with a wet cloth, the water slowly trickling down his wrist onto Morgandy's face.
"Oh sorry." The druid said as he wiped the water away.
"How are you feeling now?" He smiled slowly trying to look as peaceful as possible. "And don't worry, explain yourself later."

Tavern Party

OOC: Why, yes Svyel! You're right on time! :D Err, Capn? You've never posted on this topic, but sure you can join if you want! :)

::Morgandy felt like a boulder hit her stomach. Explain herself later?! She had been waiting so long for so many years with this terrible burden on her shoulders! She couldn't wait much longer! Morgandy now realized that she was anxious and ready to tell her story instead of dreading it. For a moment, Morgandy started to forget it and decide she would just wait a little longer, till something deep inside her told her if she waited much longer, they would all be trapped, under the wrath of Yuna, and it would be all her fault. She had to do this now or never, for her and the others' own sake. "No!" Morgandy nearly shouted. "Please, sir...I must explain myself NOW! It is very important! Please?!" Morgandy was now frantic and sweat of fear started to trickle down her forehead.::
