The Scare

The demon Ivarru (Conner Revnik) comes up behind the fae queen "Cassie". She feels a wind, realizes she is not alone, looks up when her friend calls her name, then lets out a scream "aaassckkkss!!"
Ivarru "why are you screaming? what is wrong?"
Casandra Shilova too frightened to move, sees the strong black legs of the huge spider come closer and closer and encompass her.

Ivarru says "pea must have put a hex on you"
Casandra gasps "ah ah spider, a huge SPIDER"
Ivarru responds "why do you have so much fear? there is no spider"
Casandra staggers back, wings a tremble
Ivarru "why do you move away?"
Casandra panics when she is followed and surrounded with the legs again, twists and turns unable to free herself, wings jerking.
Ivarru "i will nto harm you. pea has done this to you"
Casandra lets out a panicked yelp and desperately takes to the air

Following her to the fae meadow, he said "why did you fly away?" Casandra huddles terrified in her chair with the HUGE black spider hovering over her on some kind of monster strand
Ivarru "hmmmm" and takes to the air flying over the kingdom to locate the troublesome fae.

SweetPea FeatherFeet (Emyly Beaumont) swoops down from the skies and smiles "greetings lady casandra"
Casandra looks up at the friendly voice "he..he...hel...hello SweetPea"
SweetPea cocks her head 'what is wrong? you sound funny'
Casandra finally stops shaking, reassured by how calm her friend is "I...I was scared"
SweetPea, knowing that hardly anything frightens her friend, asks solicitously 'What has frightened you? You are much braver than I am'
Casandra replies "a spider. Not just a small little garden spider that can surprise you when you are walking, but a oh my goddess HUGE spider. As big as a...a...cottage!!! with monstrously long legs, that catch me like iron bars *shudders* and won't let me go!!!"
SweetPea shuffles her feet, knowing Lady Casandra's fear of spiders. "a great big one?' she frowns and then smiles slyly "you are afraid of it as you should be'
Casandra "I saw it a few days ago, in the tavern. Remember? You were there. You were warning me about being friends with evil ones, and I was reassuring you that not everyone who is dark is evil. Like Ivarru, he's not evil. And he was there, and then all of a sudden, he wasn't. This huge hairy spider was there. And it trapped me in it's legs, I couldn't get out."
SweetPea puts her hands behind her back and nods "uh huh. It was really big and hairy and ugly and had big googly eyes.' she looks at Cas closely to see if she suspects anything and says carefully 'but you are all right now? I mean, you are here...'
Casandra "I don't understand it, I truly don't. How did such a thing get into the tavern? It has to be too large. and no one else seemed to see it. They think I've lost my senses. But you saw it, didn't you SweetPea?"

The demon enters the fae area again "what have you done to her witch" 
Casandra looks straight ahead at her friend Pea and tries very hard not to pay attention to any thing else around her and closes her eyes, as she hears her friend Ivarru's voice, afraid of what she will see and starts trembling. As she feels air currents ebb and flow around her, she squeezes her eyes tighter
SweetPea feels a presence behind her and turns, giggles and then scowls at Ivarru, who says "what did you do? tell your queen"
SweetPea says "i did nothing to you. I just cast a little glamour' and she waves her hand a bit.
Ivarru "a glamour. undo it. she is greatly frightened of me"
SweetPea says "it is just a little glamour, my very first" she smiles and nods "I know. she SHOULD be frightened of you. She is all too trusting'
Ivarru says "well that is your first is obvious by the botchery of it all"
SweetPea moves a bit further away from the demon and watches her queen to see how she reacts to Ivarru. Casandra sits with her arms wrapped tightly around her legs, straining her ears to try and hear the words
SweetPea says to Ivarru "so are you going to leave my queen alone now?' as they watch Casandra squeeze her eyes shut and reach out with her hands around her to reassure herself there is no one or no thing within reach
Ivarru "i will find a way to put an end to this little fae
SweetPea laughs, thinking he is all threats and no substance. Casandra feels the change in the currents again, realizes he has gone and opens her eyes
SweetPea peeks at her friend "Did you see anything just now?'
Casandra looks around and breathes a sigh of relief "I made it through"
SweetPea heaves a sigh of relief. she is a bit sorry she chose a spider for Cas to see when she looked at Ivarru, but really, there was nothing else she could think of at the moment
Casandra sags back in her chair and gives a tremulous smile to her friend "I am glad you were here, and I didn't have to face that alone"
SweetPea shrugs a bit guiltily and says "I was glad I was here to keep you company' she scowls "i don;t trust that Ivarru and you shouldn't either'

SweetPea shrugs a bit guiltily and says "I was glad I was here to keep you company' she scowls "i don;t trust that Ivarru and you shouldn't either'

Evil or Not Evil, That is the Question

Linwe sat on the railing of the tavern as she is wont to do when days are lazy and there is seemingly no threat of danger about. Her ears twitch, as she looks up seeing small puffs of dust appearing around the side of the tavern. The patter of sandal clad feet beats a tattoo on the ground from the northern edge, and she turns, to see the figure of Dexler, the stable lad, appear in full gallop. Her brows raise as he races past her, and her eyes follow his progress. "What is this?" she muses at the strange behavior. She watches as the lad circles the tavern several more times, as he stumbles over the feet of the dragon Salazar, and then races off to the kirkyard, only to appear again, on the other side of the village. "Enough!" Linwe calls. "STOP!" Linwe jumped from her perch, and stropped over to where the lad stood, quivering and sweaty. "What be this ye be doin' here, Dexler?" she queried, looking at the young man's distraught face. Doubled over with exhaustion, Dexler hesitated and blurted out "N-n-n--nothing" Knowing full well it was something, Linwe continued with her query. "Dunna gie me any of that. I know full well tis summat or ye wouldna be doin such a strange thing." Dexler stared at her, rolled his shoulders, and shrugged. , "I...well...I'm just practicing, uh, running, ma'am" he mumbled. A fic=xed tolerant expression settled on the elf's face as she asked plaintively "Why?" Barely moving his mouth, the lad uttered a garbled, unintelligible reply and once again shrugged, and then shook his head. Looking up, he replied "So I can…run…run away." His gaze traveled down to his dusty feet as he avoided the elf's eyes. "SO I can…run away…until I learn to fight." Linwe's sighed and crossed her arms over her chest. "Run away from…what?" Dexler looked up from his dirty feet and into the elven eldar's face. "From…Emily." Linwe pressed her lips together and reached out a reassuring hand to the lad. "Come with me to the tavern. There be summat I need to tell ye."

Linwe lead the sweat soaked Dexler to the tavern and deposited him in a seat at a table, then sat down opposite him. She reached into her pouch and pulled out a small carved wooden figurine, and placed it on the table in front of the young man.  Dexler's eyes settled on the statue, and hesitantly, he reached to pick it up. At first a look of pain crossed his face, to be replaced by a look of joy, and then bewilderment, as he caressed the wood. "Have ye had dreams of Dante?" Linwe asked in a soft voice. Dexler looked up, the loving expression on his face provided the answer. Linwe smiled at him. The lad looked down at the statue and muttered "I already know, ma'am. I am possessed. Linwe shook her head at this "Sometimes, in the fabric of time and space…things happen. Te be nae possessed."  The lad continued, oblivious to her remark, "Some spirit was trapped in this statue. It took me over." Linwe chuckled softly "Nay. Tis not that.Ye be..yer soul be…a reincarnation." Dexler looked up once again. "A reincarnation>" Linwe nodded. "Aye. Tis hard to explain. But I will tell ye what I know. 'Ye see..there were once a man named Loralleti Dexler."

Linwe raised her eyes to Dexler, to watch his reaction to the name.  Dexler repeated dubiously "Dexler?" and then continued "Though I do like the name Loralleti. It makes me feel….fuzzy inside." Linwe smiled at him warmly again. " 'Aye...Dexler....it didna cross my mind when first ye came that there would be any…coincidence in that" Dexler nodded, listening. Aye...he were a servant in a powerful rich house in a far away place...called Venice. He had a wife and a son...a son named…Dante. His master...the rich man...were....very evil." Dexler did not reply immediately, his face twisting with emotions. He looked up at her and asked "Wh 'Why......that is allas a hard question to answer." The elThe master.....tried to change Lore...into what he were...evil…like hisselff went on. But he failed in some way...and died trying..and Lore..he were left.....changed...but unchanged" In a coarse voice, Dexler asked  "What...happened to him? What kind of evil?" "He were..a vampire"

Dexler slowly lowered the statue back to the table, unspeaking, his hands clutched tightly about it's base, his face paling to ash. A high piercing note pierced the silence, setting Linwe's ears to twitching. Frowning, she glanced around the tavern. Dexler abruptly sat up straight in his chair, a remote stare settling on his face. "Dexler?" Linwe said. Dexler's eyes glazed over as he stared straight ahead, not responding to her query. A few more high, sweet notes pierced the air. Linwe stood in concern. "Dexler!" When no response was forthcoming, she tried again "LORE!" Dexler slowly stood, his face stony, as he turned and faced Linwe. Swallowing down the panic rising in her chest, Linwe said "Dunna let this happen, Dexler. Fight it!" Dexler stood by the table, eyes foggy, body swaying.  His hands reached out, eyes unseeing, and he grasped the chair in front of him as if to anchor himself to the room in some way. Dexler sat again, leaden, twitching nervously and then folded his head down onto his arms on the table. Linwe took the seat beside him and grasped his hand. "Dexler, hold tight. Use my strength to fight this!"  Linwe gritted her teeth watching the stable lad fight whatever had a hold on him. She felt his calloused and work worn hands tightening around her own, and desperation rise in his face. Dexler...Lore......hold fast...dunna let this take ye.…" Dexler replied in a strained voice "It's...hard..." Seeing this struggle, Linwe raised her staff and quickly cast a ward around the lad and the table. With the ward in place, Dexler sagged in his chair, relieved." It...it calls to me...but it's stopped..."  Grateful that the ward worked, Linwe asked "What…be it.. .that ye felt?" Dexler released Linwe's hand and lifted his head from the table. "I felt...glad...a bit sleepy, but...so very happy" Linwe replied with a grimace "A glamour, then, a some sort or other."  "I wanted to go to it, to the sound...it was so sweet..." Linwe frowned. "Do ye still have the holy water I gave ye?" Dexler nodded, as he took a shuddering breath and pointed to the pocket of his hole ridden pants. "I want ye to keep that by yerself at all times....and I want ye to wear this" Linwe reached into her pouch and pulled out a medallion. As she handed him the medallion, a sweet, soft voice called out in the distance "Dexler…Dexler…" As he reached for the medallion, Dexler's hand stopped, and he stared again into space. Linwe reached across the table and grabbed up the statue. She pressed it into Dexler's hands.  'Ye take Dante's statue..tis rightfully yours..twil trigger more memories...but...I will tell ye...a great evil be after you. One far more powerful than that succubus that wants yer...erm.....manhood" Linwe stopped and swallowed. "This one wants…Lore's soul." Grimacing, Dexler asked quietly "Why? What did I do?" A look of pity crossed Linwe's face. ""Ye be...so ill -equipped for such as this…"  Dexler stared down at the table. "Ye have done nothing...as Lore did nothing...but...he  inherited a great deal from that evil master...and somewhere  deep inside yerself..ye know where that money be." Dexler slowly pulled himself up from the table, and in a numbed voice said "I think I will sleep here. I am so tired." Linwe sighed as she watched her young friend climb the steps to the rooms above. As he climbed, she called after him "Tis all about greed…lust..ambition..power." The voice, a soft lull, called from without the tavern "Dexler…" Dexler covered his ears and ran up the stairs.

Linwe waited in the tavern until she heard the slam of a door above her, and with a determined step, walked form the building and into the village square.  The elf turned several times in a circle, her innate elven senses searching for the whereabouts of the woman. She called out in a loud and firm voice Ye may as  well come out, ye fell  thing..I know ye be here. "  Linwe turned when she heard a sigh come form within the seamstresses yard. She turned to confront the figure of Emily, the necromancer's daughter, dressed fussily in black, her hair waving wildly in the breeze.  Linwe pointed a long, slender finger at the woman, her eyes steely green. He knows now. I have told him everything. And I have given him wards against ye!" In an innocent voice, the woman responded "Wards?" Linwe continued, "And if I have ta deafen him to keep ye from him, I will do it! so be it! And aye, wards. Do ye nae know what I am?" Emily's liquid brown eyes widened in disbelief. "You would make him go deaf?" Defiantly, the woman stood her ground "I know what you are. You are an elf that harms those who are close to you!" Linwe snorted in derision at the woman. "To keep him safe from yerself? Aye, I would.  For unlike yerself, I also have the power to heal him of it when ye be taken care of." "Does he know?" "He will..for I will explain it to him first. And give him the choice. Summat ye dunna give…a choice." Emily stood before the elf with clenched teeth, anger rising in her eyes. "You are a fell thing, Emily. As foul as any demon here."  In a quiet voice, Emily turned to the elf and said "I don't want to ensorcle him. If you would stop scaring him it would be ever so much nicer and easier for everyone." Linwe crossed her arms over her chest and glared at the woman. "Just what be it ye want?"  Emily hesitated, lowered her eyes to the dust of the village square, and clenched her jaw again. In a bitter voice she cried "You wouldn't believe me if I told you!"  Linwe enjoined "If there be truth in it, then I will believe ye."

The woman's eyes glare angrily at the elf, but she turned her head and looked away. "I love…loved him! Even if it wasn't that way at first. That's why I want his soul! I want his soul to get him back!" The elven eldar breathed in a deep breath and held it. She said softly, as kindly as she could "Ye canna ever have him back. He doesna exist anymore. Except..in the heart and mind of this lad."  "But that's what I want! His heart and his mind! He never treated me as if I were a woman just to lay with! Or someone inferior!~" Linwe replied patiently "And if ye purge the soul from this one, he will die. And all ye will have left will be some...lich."  Turning away in shame, Emily cried out with torn emotion "I don’t want to purge his soul! I just want…him! Father doesn't know of this! If he knew, he would not let me come back! He scorns love!" Linwe sighed. "But ye see, Lore...he be gone…what be left of him be just his soul…and Emily, this soul…never knew ye." Emily turned away from the elf, trying to hide the heavy sob that wracked her body. "Then I will let him know me! I won’t give up! "The first thing ye must do be to sever yerself from yer father. For how can ye hope, with things bein the way they are, that ye would ever find peace being tied to that evil?" Emily spat back "It's all I've ever known since..mother.." Her voice faded away, having told Linwe that part of her life on another occasion. Turning, Emily squared her shoulders and walked away while Linwe watched, a heavy sorrow for both the lad and this lost woman.

Dancing and Singing Once Again!

A small group gathers in the tavern: a dragon, an elf, a gypsy and a faun, and for one day, there was laughter, singing and dancing at the Restless Spirits instead of strife and unrest.

Linwe smiles at the faun "Tis good to see someone dance in here...tis nae often folk do
Linwe (Linwe Zifanwe) says 'Swith..used to play...but since the demon rum...her playing as slackened off'
Geldriia Zemlja smiles brightly at the fay "That's what we need, a change of mood, all this talk of drown and demons will drive a person to drink, and I mean to drink for the wrong reasons." *she laughs a bit and and claps along with Dahl*
Linwe smiles "Tis too bad I didna bring my harp with me..

Salazar Rage almost falls from his seat as cider drops from Dahl's face.
Linwe blinks and stares "That were quite..erm...entertaining....and as I said..Swith will find a good friend in ye if ye sings such as that
Salazar Rage: that was quite great dear

Jordon Gets New Wings

A bit bored with the fae meadows, Jordon and SweetPea invade the grounds of the Elven Hall.  SweetPea says 'C'mon Jordon, let's try the swing.  Push me' 

Jordon flies up to SweetPea and says: Alright.  Peaceful area the elves have.

SweetPea nods 'It is very pretty.'

 Jordon gives her a push then jumps on the back of the swing.  SweetPea sits contentedly on the seat, swaying back and forth and leans back against Jordon.  SweetPea says " I wonder where the elf is? I haven't seen her in a few days.'

SweetPea says proudly ‘I cast a glamour on Ilvarru, the demon, so he would look scary to Lady Casandra. Did you know she was taking advice from him?  Advice from a...demon!  And I know that she is afraid of spiders... so I made him look like a spider to her!’  She giggles.  ‘He appears huge and hairy with big googly eyes.   Lady Casandra ran away in fright!'

Jordon chuckles: she fell for it did she? Doesn't realize it is a glamour?

SweetPea shrugs 'even if it is only a glamour, she can't do anything about it.   And the sight of a spider is enough to throw her into fits.'

SweetPea looks at Jordon’s dull black and white wings and wonders if she could glamour bright blue ones for him.  Jordon starts whistling loudly and SweetPea smiles.  She loves to hear whistling.  Jordon wonders if his whistling is loud enough to wake anyone asleep in the elf castle. 

SweetPea screws up her eyes and concentrates very hard.  She waves her arms and says 'sings, wings, do, blue.'  She tries to stamp her foot and falls off the swing.  Jordon is unbalanced by her fall, jumps off and almost lands on top of her.   He is bumped by the swing.  ‘Oooaf.’ He feels a little oddness and all of a sudden sees bright wings from the corner of his eye.

SweetPea gasps as Jordon's wings turn bright blue and iridescent purple and green.  She hops up and down excitedly.   ‘It worked Jordon! It worked!"

Jordon glares at his friend "This is not a calm pleasing blue SweetPea.  I look like a peacock .’

SweetPea puts her hands on her hips and says "I think they are handsome wings …and very pretty.’  She giggles 'Those old black and white wings were so dull!'

Jordon gives a long drawn out sigh "They are girly." 

 SweetPea says hotly "They are not girly. They are too big! I would never be caught wearing wings that big.  I would trip when I flew.'

Jordon glares at her. “Yes, my old ones were dull. They suited me fine. I did glamor my wings other shades at first, but Essie frowned upon me and said a disparaging remark and I quit."

SweetPea chuckles "Essie is silly.  Do you like her opinion better than mine?'

 Jordon: what happened to Essie any way? I haven't seen her in months and no, I value yours.  You are my friend"

SweetPea sniffs ‘Essie went away and didn't come back.'  She smiles ‘I am glad you are my friend Jordon. I would have no one else to play with if you weren't here' 

Jordon says : Anyway, I need large wings to lift me. I'm not pint sized.

SweetPea moves to stand beside Jordon and shakes her head in agreement ‘You are a lot bigger then me'

Jordon McGillivary: yeah, a lot. I am half human.

SweetPea flutters her tiny wings ‘Not all fae are small of course.  Some are fat!  I saw a fat one the other day.  He was as cute as a piglet'

Jordon: you saw a fat fae!

SweetPea nods "I think he had been at the mead barrel too often'

Jordon lifts up, settles, repeats several times to see if he feels any difference caused by SweetPea's magic

SweetPea cocks an eyebrow at Jordon "I think those wings are beautiful and I am not in any hurry to reverse the glamour'

Jordon bounces around some more getting used to bright colors in his line of sight   SweetPea thoroughly approves of Jordon’s new wings and smiles.  She giggles as she flutters between Jordon's wings.

Jordon gives her a look.  He looks at SweetPea's pea sized wings and his huge brightly colored monsters, thinking they will attract overly much attention from those he would rather remain unnoticed by.

SweetPea says ‘But Jordon those wings are your favorite color; aren't you happy to have blue wings?'

Linwe rises from her reverie and peers out the door of the Hall.

SweetPea says ‘I think your wings are very handsome and you should be grateful to me’

Seeing a mass of color Linwe arcs a brow and says “Drow fodder they be....some drow will take them for sure"

SweetPea waves to the elven elder ‘Look!  Aren't Jordon's wings beautiful? I glamoured them all by myself and it worked!'

Jordon heaves a long drawn out sigh and concedes defeat "they are most beautiful fair fae. I am eternally grateful to you."

Linwe says 'Aye… they do be beautiful indeed..but...as in nature...they be an attractant do ye nae think?  Ye wouldna wish some bug of a drow or demon to find him.......useful..'

SweetPea giggles 'Lots of butterflies, I think, will follow him; they like blue too' Jordon remains irritated with his friend. And he looks at her "The Elder has a point SweetPea."  

SweetPea says a bit worriedly "Jordon, you can fly as well with those as the dull old grey ones, can't you?'

Jordon takes off skyward to test them out and thuds on the ground. Linwe watches with amusement from the door as the fragile wings seem to fail SweetPea puts her hand on her mouth and gasps ‘try again'

Jordon tries again:  yes, they work

Linwe says 'Mayhaps tis his boots weighting him down'

SweetPea grins "See?  then what do you have to complain about?'

Jordon looks at his feet "I like my boots. I won the leather off a tanner in a friendly game of chance and had them fashioned to fit me."

SweetPea looks at his boots and sees the same old dull brown color.  She sighs. Linwe peers out at the boots "They be fine boots... Right..serviceable..'

Jordon looks at SweetPea "Even Linwe sides with you on my boots. Is it so unnatural for a fae to wear boots?"

SweetPea says ‘Don’t you think they should be blue to match your wings?'

Jordon is alarmed "NO!"

SweetPea is startled by Jordon's unusually loud voice and says meekly 'As you will Jordon.’

Linwe says 'I think so..right now he be like a cow with different coloured spots...he be nae...coordinated'

Jordon decides to leave, thus avoiding any more of his friends' enchantments: “Acck! You two ladies are ganging up on me!”

Linwe (Linwe Zifanwe) says 'Aye...well....one way or the other..the combination be quite.....erm....bad'

Jordon says “Farewell and pleasant day to you both.”  He takes to the skies and flies away.

A Demon Dies

Jacen and Linwe, after being taunted to come of Elven Hall, hear the  farm lad Dexler being confronted. They rush out in his defense and after chasing her across the mountain and back through the forest, bring her down. Tying a rope around the dead body, they drag her to the village and place her in the stocks for all to see..as a deterrent. Dexler, in the meantime, disappears, his whereabouts unbeknown to those gathered in the Square. Salazar flies off to search in the north, while Linwe searches to the west. And Aron….he searches, too…but…why?


Thank you to Linwe for the picture and text
