Message: <blockquote data-quote="perivas" data-source="post: 823612" data-attributes="member: 2746">Somewhere deep in an unknown forest...Verdane stood up from his overstuffed chair in a ponderous motion.  Though the fireplace roared with great fervor, his joints still ached from the bitter cold, seeping through the windows and cracks in the door.  He hated being redundant and badgering his protege, and while he accepted the necessity of it, he despised how old it made him feel.  But he found it an effective method to get his point across.With lucid eyes staring at the lounging figure, he repeated the oft-spoken advice.  "Never be too rash or too rushed.  It is often the cause for many mistakes and unnecessary dangers.  Even the most powerful will fail in their responsibility to the weak without the proper preparation for the trials.  Many-a-times, fate will have in store for you the unexpected.  Therefore, prepare for everything you can think of...however, improbable it may seem; for it will happen along with many events and occurrences beyond your imagination.  The times of trouble draw near.  You can sense them if you listen closely to the quiet place deep within you."He knew this all too well...not only from his feelings and years of training, but from his scrying.  Lately, Verdane has spent more and more time in front of his mirror of mental prowess trying to decipher the events he witnessed.  Though he has found limited success in his efforts, the key individuals have hidden their intent and agenda from his prying eyes.  Even so, his impressive deductive skills have left him with more than enough clues to understand the need for measured action.  But without all the facts and given his venerable age, he is hesitant to act rashly and miss a true opportunity when it comes.  Instead, he has watched his old allies closely to see how they may deal with the problem at hand.  After all, most of them are considerably younger than he is and thus possess a much greater level of energy to run about.  Though, he recently used the acquire tomes and manuals to boost his physical health, the effect of age still linger on Verdane's body.OOC:  Ready when you are....</blockquote>
