"Gralas, it is done, all we can do is move on. It is part of nature, to die and for those left behind to move on. I'm sure my father would have told you that, and not to dwell on your past mistakes, justified or not." She smiles at him winks quickly to Bertram as well.
 

"But...there is nothing left for me...I am a ruined shell of a man, my one great quest for Arris a total failure, and my best friend slain by my betrayal...

*Suddenly, there is a loud roar in Mojiin: "To arms, Sisters!" followed by the draconian screams of pained and dying Mojiin.*

"Oh dear, that doesn't sound good."

"Oh no...oh no..."

*A loud woman's voice calls out in Valsian, projected magically so that all can hear:*

"Well well, Gralas dear...I had you all wrong...I had figured you for a broken man who would tell us anything, but it looks like there was something you cared about so much more than the life of your friend that you managed to keep it from us through the torture. I'm impressed, and even moreso that you rendered the detector ineffective up until now, but now we've found you, and it looks like you've just caused the deaths of even more of your friends by your obstinance. Hear this scream?"

*There is a high-pitched scream.*

"That was a Mojiin child that just died because of you...What a traitorous ingrateful guest...Now why don't you just be a nice boy and give me the Jewel, and no one else will have to die..."
 

Vasha stands alert, looking at Gralas, and then the projection.

"We must do something!" she says as she looks out the door.

OOC: Ok, time for a bit of reading (Incarnation of Immortality Series, rereading it after about 15 years, and there's 2 new books in the series now) and some sleep. I might be around more tomorow night, I'm feeling kinda sick and pondering calling in, we'll see how I feel when i wake up.
 

*Gralas stares, his one eye wide, as he turns all white, trembling, his bloodless lips gasping the word "Lhyzra"*

(OOC: Ah, Piers Anthony? G'night then--get well soon!)
 

"Gralas, you can stand up to him. I know you can, I believe in you." She takes his hand and holds it tight, in a reasuring manor.

OOC: Yup. Just started the 3rd one (Fate). Actualy, about half way through it, couldn't sleep :(
 


"But you can stand up against her. You can do it. We will help you." She shoots a glance over at Bertram, hoping for support.
 

"No...she'll kill you too...I couldn't live with myself if she did...Flee, Vasha! Flee, and I will buy you time...Please, let me end this doing something right, for once..."
 

"I won't leave you. It's not right to abandon you like this."

Vasha looks at Bertram, trembling at losing someone else who she was close to as a child, doubt begining to set in to her rigid stance.
