Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery, Part II

[Rystil Arden]

*The note reads:*

Dear Vasha,

If you are reading this now, then the worst has happened and they have discovered us--discovered you. You are in grave danger now, so I hope you'll forgive me.

*As Vasha reads the words of the note, a mystic rune on the page begins to glow with a faint amber light and then suddenly, a topaz-coloured snake of glowing light leaps out of the page and strikes Vasha, engulfing her in a shimmering amber field of force and immobilising her in a state of suspended animation. Just as her consciousness begins to fade, Alyz calls out:*

"Vasha, forgive me, but it had to be done for your own good. Your father died to keep this knowledge away from the enemies of Arris...well, I killed him, but he would have done so regardless, and it would be selfish of both of us to stay and risk that everything has been in vain...Goodbye, Vasha..."

*The next thing Vasha knows, she can suddenly move again. She's in the same place as before, wherever that is. Puddles is standing nearby, worried, but as Vasha begins to come to, his tail begins to wag happily and he jumps up on her to lick her face.*

Vasha giggles as Puddles licks her, she looks around, trying to get her bearings.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Wherever she is, it is dark, and there are a lot of boxes. She doesn't recognise it from anywhere before, except of course for just before she got hit by the snake when she and Alyz were speaking here.*

 

[Bront]

Vasha casts a spell, and looks over a Puddles. "Do you know where we are?" she asks.

OOC: Speak with Animals.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Vasha, are you alright? You were standing still there for a long time. I don't know where we are, but it feels kind of weird. At least Alyz left me plenty of food, though!"

 

[Bront]

"I'm ok... Alyz..." Vasha fights back a tear.

Vasha makes sure he hair and eyes are ruby red, and changes into her Energy Jewel dress.

"Come on, let's see where we are." she says as she sets out to explore the room, and find out where she is.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Searching around the room, she sees plenty of different boxes, and eventually she finds stairs leading upward, though the top of the stairs has a closed trapdoor.*

 

[Bront]

Vasha listens to the trap door, and if she doesn't hear anything, peeks her head out to see what's above her.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Vasha doesn't hear much through the thick trapdoor, so she opens it and peeks out, and she finds that the trapdoor leads to the deck of a ship--a Spelljamming ship, soaring through Wildspace.*

 

[Bront]

'Father, I swear I shall find you again. Arris needs me, and others like me, to stand up for her. I shall return to you and her, and bring help when I can.' she thinks to herself, as she steps up onto the deck and closes the trap door. She looks around to see if she can find anyone, preferably someone who looks to be in charge.
