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

[Bront]

"How are you doing so without an Ecomancer? The Dragonlords conection with Arris is nothing like ours, and while what you do is noble, wouldn't it help to have one working with you?"

OOC: Yeah, I noticed it, just wondering if it was a noticable tone change in her, or you just changing colors for ease of looking. Sorry about grabbing Cyan, but it was the color I had picked out for Vasha long ago, I just didn't use it when she was the only one in the thread that wasn't you.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Because I'm going for the opposite of what would need an Ecomancer...I don't want the Dragonlords to drain away Arris, so I'm going to build a powerful nexus that they can use instead, allowing Arris to have the reprieve she deserves."

(OOC: No worries )

 

[Bront]

"That sounds good Sister, but is that what the Jhyram Arris is for? Will it still be able to repair the damage to Arris? And won't you need an Ecomancer for that? I was thinking of offering to teach Zythryd the ways, since he can't leave here anyway. He could assist you, and in his own way, keep an eye on you, and perhaps see the good works you are doing, and learn to trust you."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Yes, it is what the Jhyram Arris is for. As for healing the water of Arris--if you use it for that in the Mojiin ritual that it is meant to be used, it will be used all it once and it will be destroyed forever. Then the Dragonlords will just drain the life away and it will be for nothing. If you use it is a nexus, draining power slowly, it will restore its power slowly, as we have seen it doing after it gave some of it to you, and it will never run dry."

 

[Bront]

"That makes sense, but can't is be used as a nexus to chanel power to heal Arris as well? Not that I want to drain it too much, but Arris needs more than just a reprieve Sister. It will take time, and a willingness to embrace new ideas, even for the Dragonlords. And I think embracing Ecomancy might be the biggest hurdle. I don't envy your task Sister, just be carefull where you tread, for you perhaps hold the key to the heart of Arris in your hands."

Vasha hugs Alyz. "Relax sister. Let my gentile massage relax and calm you, so you can sleep and dream of a better Arris. I will meet you tomorow and we can go from there."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"No. According to the text, the power cannot be released to Arris except via the large ritual that will totally restore all the water to the planet, a huge regeneration."

"Embracing Ecomancy won't do a thing to help. There will always be people who seek the path of the Dragonlord, even if it just those who seek extra power, and even a lower number of Dragonlords would surely be enough to cause the planet to lose its lifeforce all over again."

"The heart of Arris? The Crazan Arris? No...not yet. But I've hired another half-Nymph, like you, to help me find it, so perhaps I will have it soon."

 

[Bront]

"I was able to heal the planet slowly though, so I know it is possable. The texts don't know everything."

"I ment embracing it as an acceptable practice Sister. Not converting the Dragonlords."

"That's not the heart of Arris I ment Sister. Arris is a true entity, who loves unconditionaly, and her love has been abused. You hold the power to repair her heart by allowing her to regain her strength to love all her children again. The connection between Arris and an Ecomancer is more complex than I think you give it credit for."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"You told me about what you did. It seems certain that this was a wondrous synergy between your Naiad nature, your Ecomancy, and the Jewel reacting rather than an actual use of the Jewel itself."

"If the Jewel is used for its intended purpose, Arris will regain her strength again, true. But it will be gone very soon again. It is ultimately shortsighted. In fact, the Elder Preservers wouldn't use the Jewel right now if they found it. They never even tried before--they wanted it to stay lost...Do you know why, Vasha?

 

[Bront]

"Because they know the Dragonlords would just use the energy again of course. If the energy is renuable, it's better used to heal in the long term."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Ah, but they can't use it over time either. That isn't how it works. They would use it eventually, though...But do you know what they would be waiting for, Vasha?"
