Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery

[Bront]

"Well, then perhaps you will understand my situation better than perhaps anyone else."

"I came back seeking Gralis to hope to understand what happened to my father. It turned out he was forced to give up Marrik while being tortured by a Dragonlord, and I hope I gave him some moments of peace when I forgave him. However, she returned, tracking the Jewels, and found us. I fled with my brother." she pauses to clairify "A close friend, and brother in spirit, as are the ways of the nymphs, though to take a brother is unusuall."

"When we returned to another town, she was there also, looking for us. My brother disctracted her and let me escape. Apparently she seemed to think I had a Jewel, though I could find no such thing on my person."

"So for two weeks I journied here, but I discovered something strange. I found that as I took my refuge and symbios in nature with water, and shared my love with Arris, that the oasis grew in a spectacular fashion, as if healing itself. When I took a second refuge, it turned from a shrinking underground spring with a single tree to a stream."

"I don't know now, what caused this, but I have begun to suspect that the Jewel is not a gem, but is in fact me, or at least part of me."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Hmmm...it is possible that Marrik may have fooled them all by managing to bring forth a transfusion of the jewel's energy into you. I wasn't aware that such a thing is possible. We should check the Forbidden Records in the back of the library. That could be perhaps the only way to discover anything about this."

 

[Bront]

"How do we gain access to them?" Vasha says, feeling relieved to have someone understand her. "I may have a friend who can help."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, don't worry. Not just anyone can get into those records, but I can get us access to them, so we can go check them whenever it is convenient for you."

 

[Bront]

"Well, later tonight would be good. I'd prefer if my friend were there. I think it will be enlightening for him."

Vasha ponders a momentary suspicion, as she tries to recall the voice that spoke to Gralis, hoping that this is not the same voice.

"I have some things that I do need to do today, and I need to return to work for some time as well."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well...I'd say that the fewer people who know about this the better. It is dangerous, even though I am sure your friend is trustworthy--remember what happened to Gralas?"

*Vasha notes that this is not the same voice as the evil Dragonlord who spoke to Gralas.*

"Sure, we can do it after your work. Let me know when I should come back?"

 

[Bront]

"I agree, but I think I owe him this. He knows much already, although not the part about me restoring things myself, but I feel I owe him this, for he has given me something to cling to in my desperate times."

"I work for another three hours, and he works shortly after that. Will the library still be open then?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"When does your next three hours start? The library will be open for another eight hours or so, so as long as your break is less than five hours, we should be able to get in before it closes."

 

[Bront]

"Well, my break does end soon" (I'm assuming this took a bit longer, and we're just grabing the highlights) "but my friend will be working after that." she pouts.

"I can see if tomorow might be better, or do you think that tonight is best?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Hmm...I would say that it is definitely best to do it tonight--we need to find this information as soon as possible and figure out how to keep you safe. You can tell your friend what we discover afterwards, right?"

(OOC: There's still a pretty good portion of the break left, but Vasha will still have plenty of time afterwards.)
