Session Start: Wed Mar 20 20:31:54 2002
* Keelin presses through to the other side, back into their town where Aiden is located. Things seem to have rebuilt
* Dev puts the flute carefully away, looking around* Things seem better...
<Keelin> Much .. how many years have past here..?
* Dev shakes his head* I don't know...*stops a passer by...asks...then blinks when the answere of 19 years is given*
* Keelin blinks ...
<Keelin> I may not even be recognized here any more ...
* Keelin sighs, shaking her head
<Keelin> None the less..lets find Aiden..
* Dev nods* Aye...heh...I hope he still lives in the same house...
* Keelin nods..brows furrowing as she looks around
<Keelin> I as well .. come..*heads in his direction*
* Dev does as well, shrugging lightly and going with her*
* Keelin comes to his home, knocking lightly on the door
* Dev stands just behind her..*
* Aiden opens the door .. hasn't really aged any being an elf and all..then blinks* Well, I was wondering when you might return..! Come in..!
* Dev smirks lightly, motioning for Kee to go first* Good to see you again, Master...
* Keelin heads in, removing her cloak..
* Aiden smirks, closing the door after they're both in* Good to see you as well, staying in the human world I assume..?
* Dev nods* Aye...
<Dev> *removes his cloak as well* How have things been here?
* Aiden motions for them to sit* Well..you've a lot to catch up on ..
* Keelin sits down, brows furrowing
* Dev nods, sitting by Keelinn*
* Aiden leans back, folding his hands on his lap* Where should I start...?
* Dev leans forward, resting his elbows on his knees* Perhaps from when we left?
* Aiden shrugs* Well .. things have slowly been restoring .. but of course, we have Teirnan's followers that still put up fights here and there..
* Dev nods, frowning lightly*
<Aiden> There are also rumors of another ruler taking Teirnan's place .. a supposed only son. The dark is keeping things very secretive..
* Dev blinks* ...oh? *arches a brow* Any discriptions...?
* Aiden shrugs* Small rumors of a tall man with red hair .. not looking much like Teirnan at all...
* Dev blinks more and sits back, arching his brows* How old...?
<Aiden> Approximately 19..
* Keelin is leant back...listening to all of this
* Dev shakes his head* Ahh...is there anything else...?
* Aiden sighs* There have been bands of our army going out to take down any uprisals...but I do not know whom was in them..
* Dev sighs a little* Ahh...any word from Kevley at all...?
* Aiden blinks* I was unaware that he had returned ..
* Keelin rubs at her temples...sighing shakily..
* Dev rubs her back gently and sighs* Aye...he returned to wrap up some bussiness...was supposed to return yesterday...
* Aiden mulls this over, brows arched* Perhaps he was a part of the raid on that abandoned village..
* Dev furrows his brow* What happened there...?
* Aiden shakes his head* We lost .. but there was some magic struggle ... from the description it sounded much like Kevley's sort.
<Dev> I...see...
* Keelin furrows her brow
<Keelin> Where is this village ..?
<Aiden> A few miles south of here...
* Dev nods, standing and pulling his cloak on*
* Keelin stands* Do you have any horses we might borrow ...?
* Aiden nods* I have one, don't abuse it.*smiles* He's around back..
* Dev chuckles softly* Of course not...
* Keelin smiles, pulling her cloak on again
<Keelin> Thank you Aiden..
<Dev> Aye...thank you, Master..
* Aiden nods* Take some food too, and be well..
* Dev nods* Thank you again..
* Aiden hands them each a pouch of food* Here .. *nods* be well.
* Keelin takes it, hugging him lightly before going out the door .. going to the horse
<Dev> Aye...we will...*shakes his hand in farewell and heads out after Keelin*
* Keelin leads the horse out, pulling her hood down as she removes the saddle
<Keelin> We cannot both fit on the saddle..*smirks*
* Dev nods* We can take turns riding and scouting...
* Keelin chuckles, tossing the saddle aside
<Keelin> I meant that we can fit on the horse without the saddle, Devnet...
<Dev> AH! *chuckles sheepishly* Sorry...
<Dev> You ride front..*smiles*
* Keelin chuckles..
* Keelin hops on easily, holding a hand out for him
* Dev hops on behind her*
* Dev reaches around, taking reins 'n stuff..*
* Keelin chuckles* Always have to be in control I see..*winks, readying her quiver and arrows in case of attacks*
* Dev chuckles* Me? Of course not...I simply take any excuse I can to put my arms around you...*winks and prods the horse forward*
* Keelin chuckles, resting her head on his shoulder
* Dev smiles as he steers the horse towards the villiage*
* Keelin goes with apparently <G>
<Keelin> I suppose that is as good an excuse as any.
* Dev chuckles softly*
* horse trots up to the woods outside the villiage...*
* Keelin watches, brows furrowing..
<Keelin> <q> He was here ...
* Dev nods* <q> You can sense him..
* Keelin nods ... sighing shakily* But he's not here any more ... *pauses, brows furrowing..then points* That way ..
* Dev nods, stearing the horse that way, keeping an eye out for threats*
* Keelin watches as well, brows furrowed..
* Dev shakes his head, brows furrowed at the blood puddles and stuff here and there*
* Keelin grits her teeth..* A physical battle might've been won by us here .. but a magic battle was lost..
* Dev nods, brows furrowing lightly* Aye...I can feel it a little now...the other feels...familiar as well...
* Keelin nods ...
<Keelin> Keep going ...
* Dev does so...*
* Keelin watches..directing as they go..
* Dev guides the horse and stuff...*
* Keelin freezes..* {{ .. There's ... I sense...Teirnan..?? That's impossible..}}
* Dev blinkblinks, holding the horse steady, and narrowing his eyes* {{A bit of him...hold the reins...? I will try to clarify with music..}}
* Keelin nods, taking them, steering out of the clearing
* Dev takes out his flute and starts the seaking song...*
* it basically seperates the different essences...Rev's coming to light...a mix of Teirnan's, Diana's and of course his own*
* Keelin stares..blinking..
<Keelin> Diana...?? How does she fit into this ...?
* Dev slowly shakes his head, bringing the flute down* No idea...
<Keelin> Where does this lead ... ?? *looks down the path warily*
* Dev furrows his brow, bringing the flute to his lps again, blinking when he finds the answere* ...the castle we were held...
* Keelin grits her teeth..
<Keelin> <q> So help me..that bastard ...
* Dev nods, narrowing his eyes* <q> Shall we try getting there?
* Keelin nods...jaw set
* Dev nods, putting the flute away and taking the reins again*
* Keelin murmurs a protection spell as they go..eyes watchful
* Dev guides the horse that way...a distinct feel of darkness and power falling over them as they get closer*
* Keelin shudders, closing her eyes to keep the spell up
<Dev> <q> Perhaps we should come back with backup...
* Keelin nods...
<Keelin> <q> We'll stay in the abandoned village .. I don't think they'll return there for a while ..
* Dev nods* <q> Aye...*turns the horse*
* Keelin watches..bo & arrow at ready..
* something moves in the bushes...a scout*
* Keelin brings it taught, immediately firing at the scout
* Scout drops with a short cry, silenced by a spell by Dev*
* Keelin relaxes a little, still watchful..
* Dev continues along the path..*
* Keelin sighs shakily, closing her eyes..
<Dev> {{Let us find a place to stay, love...then perhaps we should contact Diana...}}
* Keelin nods...* {{She'll want to know about this ..}}
* Dev nods...riding around 'till he finds a place that's relatively secure...with food 'n water for the horse as well*
* Dev dismounts once they get there..reaching up tohelp her down*
* Keelin hops off when she can, taking his hand
<Keelin> <q> Thank you..
* Dev nods and kisses her brow* <q> Of corse...go on inside while I take care of the horse? Make sure it's safe?
* Keelin nods, going in cautiously..
* meh...it should be...'less you think of anything <G>*
* Dev takes care of the horse and stuff*
* Keelin finds it safe, setting up a bed for the two of them as well as a fire in the fire place
* Dev comes in shortly..*
* Keelin looks up tucking her cloak over the only window
<Dev> I take it's all safe, hm?
* Dev slips his arms around her* <q> Do you wish to contact Diana, or should I?
* Keelin nods, settling her weaponry to the side
<Keelin> Ah..*sighs shakily* I will if you wish..
* Dev nods* I want to weave a sheild and comeflauge spell...
* Keelin nods, settling by the fire
<Keelin> I'll contact her .. do well..
* Dev nods to her, taking out his flute and starting a spell...*
* Keelin settles..* {{Diana...??}}
<Diana> {{Hai...?}}
<Keelin> {{I believe we have some news ... we are well...to start things off...}}
<Diana> {{Good...what have you learned? Is Kevley...??}}
<Keelin> {{Well, .. 19 years have passed her already ...}}
<Keelin> {{And Kevley...I sense he is alive .. but ... }}
<Diana> {{...oh...? Hai...?}}
<Keelin> {{Captive .. }}
<Diana> {{...by who...?}}
<Keelin> {{Are you sitting ...??}}
<Diana> {{...hai...}}
<Keelin> {{...he's in the same place we were .. held by your son ...}}
<Diana> *after a few moments* {{N...nani...? But...I have no children...}}
<Keelin> {{He is a mix of you and Teirnan ... I .. I don't know how .. but ... he is ...}}
<Keelin> {{And as powerful as his father ...}}
<Diana> {{D...demo...I...I misscarried him...I bled for three weeks....}}
<Keelin> {{ ... I know .. but .. recall how Brenna was taken ..?}}
<Diana> {{Hai...}}
<Keelin> {{I have a feeling he was taken that way ... and you were fooled to believe you miscarried...}}
<Keelin> {{He is 19 ... and apparently carrying on in his late father's work ...}}
<Diana> {{H..how...I just remember waking up...alone in my room...horrible pain...ble...ne...they did it in my sleep..oh gods...}}
<Diana> {{I want to go there...to help you...I need to at least see if I can do something...my son...}}
<Keelin> {{We're camped ... I want more than you to be here...}}
<Keelin> {{But not tonight.}}
<Diana> {{Hai.....I....hai...I need to...ah...recover...?}}
<Keelin> {{Tomorrow night .. be well, Diana...}}
<Diana> {{H...hai...you as well...}}
<Keelin> {{Goodnight...}}
<Diana> {{Oyasumi...}}
* Dev comes back a little bit later..*
* Keelin looks up
<Keelin> She's .. taking it roughly..*sighs, settling*
* Dev nods a little, settling by her* Don't really blame her...
* Keelin shakes her head
<Keelin> Nor do i..
* Dev slips an arm around Kee, hugging her gently*
* Keelin leans into the hug..
* Dev holds her*
* Keelin curls her arms around him
<Keelin> <q> She'll be joining us tomorrow night ..
* Dev nods..* <q> Good...*strokes her back a little* Do you know if she'll be alone or not...?
* Keelin blinks...then shrugs a little..
<Keelin> <q>I .. forgot to ask.. Do we need any more people...?
* Dev shakes his head* <q> I do not think so...
* Keelin chews her lip...
<Keelin> Rislyn. Call it a hunch .. but she might want to know of Kevley ...
* Dev watches her, nodding...* Aye...
* Keelin sighs, muttering quietly* Otherwise I cannot think of anybody else who would have business on this trip.
* Dev nods* Aye...Diana seems to have a great deal of friends...so...
* Keelin stiffens a little...blinking..
<Keelin> ...Somebody's .. contacting ME?? *blinks..settling*
* Dev blinkblinks, brows furrowing* ...threatening...?
<Keelin> No...*relaxes* Shingami's brother..
* Dev nods, watching quietly*
* Keelin sighs
<Keelin> Wing is asking if they can send someone along with Diana...
* Dev runs a hand through his hair* This group should REALLY not get that big...who exactly is he thinking of?
<Keelin> Rune .. an earth elemental..
* Keelin rubs at her temples..
<Keelin> Let me get this straight .. you, me, Diana, Rislyn .. and Rune. And now he's speaking of somebody else..??
* Dev furrows his brows* Now who...?
<Keelin> *sighs* I'm asking...
* Dev nods...*
<Keelin> <q> Should I tell him that six people is our limit...??
* Dev nods and sighs* <q> Aye...probably a good idea...
<Keelin> Rislyn, you, myself, Rune, DIana and Mitch.
* Dev nods* Alright...
* Dev kisses her brow*
* Keelin leans back, curled against him..
<Keelin> <q> This is going to be a long night tomorrow..
<Dev> <q> Aye...that it will be...
<Keelin> <q> We should rest....
* Dev nods, pulling blankets over them both and kisses her gently*
* Keelin curls against him, kissing him back
<Keelin> <w> Be well, Dev..
* Dev holds her close* <w> Aye beloved....you as well...
* Keelin smiles...drifting to sleep
* Dev watches her...then dozes himself*
