    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    CHANVATI considers his words carefully, for telepathic communication carries more nuance than spoken language. <<Mistress Jaggriti, excuse my inadvertent telekinetic nudge. I seem to have pushed your marker out of position. Allow me to fix this clumsiness of mine.>> He shifts her marker off...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    <<Worry not, Conciliator. The petty disagreements of this realm's denizens, indeed, are none of our concern. If Pa'avu can maneuver us close enough to the Temporal Slipstream, I shall manipulate the psionic field that cuts across the Chronotope. Thus, we shall be propelled across spacetime to...

    Children of Sorrow

    Dryope's immediate safety has been secured, but you're correct that whatever malevolence has manifested or grown in this part of the forest must be dealt with to put the greater threat it poses to rest permanently. To that end, you will travel to the Sunken Vault, where you hope to discover and...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    The disorientation that one typically experiences upon transition to the Astral Sea is minimal for CHANVATI. After all, he spent hours upon hours in the Astral Simulation Tank at Xerxes's, as do all advanced students in Chronotopology. Slowly and awkwardly, the Psion wills himself closer to the...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    CHANVATI pauses ever so momentarily. "Yes," he says aloud. "Yes, I think the time has come for sealing the breach. My bodyguard here," he gestures at Pa'avu, "will accompany us. She is strong of arm and will, having proven so repeatedly throughout her servitude ... and especially these last...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    CHANVATI dismounts and strides confidently up the stairs, ducking under Pa'avu's arm to enter the antechamber. He calls out behind him, "Beets, look after the little ones for a moment. And keep an eye on that brother of yours." He continues forward. <Camera cuts to close up of Bita-Bousseh...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    The riders cross the threshold of the northern gate into a scene of mayhem. What should be an orderly inspection (and taxation) of goods passing into and out of the city is instead a sprawling brawl. The narrow streets are choked with rampaging citizens beset with mania ... or mind control ...

    Children of Sorrow

    The way to Dryope's Grove is not far, perhaps an hour or so more along the forest path, but a game trail, in truth. During the journey, Jendi peppers the conversation with occasional references to being so close to a site of great historical importance, how an opportunity for discovery and...
