A Warping of the Blood

[Rystil Arden]

"But....what if you were to be hurt on my behalf? I don't think I could live with myself with that on my conscience..."

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"If I get hurt, it's my own fault! You don't need to take on all your hurts and the rest of the world's too. What happens, happens, and there's nothing we can do to change it, so it's best to do what we can with the time we're given," Soevi says earnestly.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Sometimes...the people who are important can change things...play with the metarunic influences...time seemed to stop as the ray shot forth...but I was frozen in place...glued to the ground--not a spryte...unable to move to escape my fate...my fate was sealed and then...as the world slowed to a stop, one person was still moving...as swift as meditation or the thoughts of love...she jumped, she leapt...and changed the fate that had been in store for me...but she paid...with her life.............But..."

"I understand your feelings. They were as mine when I was younger, more optimistic and sure I could make a difference. I have no right to stop you from helping us to save your village if that is what you desire, but please," his eyes shine brightly at her like two green emeralds, pleading, "Please don't do it for me."

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"Then I'll do it for my village," she says, laying a gentle hand on his shoulders. "Are all of you going too?" she asks the people at the surrounding tables.

"I will most definitely lend my skills fair Soevi. Your bravery would put the boldest knight to shame. How could one not help, if able, after your example."

Ke'ch'rhal, Dracha

*Ke'ch'rhal is pleasantly surprised by all the offers to go with him.*

"Your aid will be appreciated. If all are ready, we should go to the stewards hall and see what they know of the trouble."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Or we could also ask our new friend, Soevi. She's a highly intelligent woman, she probably knows much of what's going on in her own village."

"I too, shall lend my arm and mind to this task, if you will have me."

Leaning to whisper to Balthazar, he says, "The people are here are almost .... stimulating... it's all I can do to accompany them farther."

Ke'ch'rhal, Dracha

*Ke'ch'rhal considers Vayj's suggestion for a few seconds before responding to it.*

"Perhaps. Soevi? Have you heard anything about the attacks?"

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"I've heard a bit. But... come into the back room, I'd rather not gab with so many ears about," she says, looking guarded. She'll guide the interested parties to a back room, and close the door behind her. Several leather chaises and a large table with chairs fill the room, along with a fireplace on one wall, currently cold.*

"Yes, I've heard some tales from some of the servants of those that come here. They say those that have died were plucked from their herds from above and carried off. I don't know anything that can do that but a vuldrog, but I've never actually seen one or any physical evidence of one. The bodies... haven't been found, though they've found blood aplenty. I know the general area of where many disappeared, but not much beyond that," she says in a low voice.
