[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 7508943, member: 143"] Chapter 218 Glori was ready for the disorientation, but as with every other time she had experienced teleportation it still managed to leave her weak and dazed. When her vision finally cleared she saw that she was standing with the others in the familiar confines of the teleportation circle in the Apernium, the rich décor clashing with the simple natural beauty of the elvish site. There were two men waiting for them. As the travelers stepped clear of the circle they came forward to greet them. One wore the long robes of a member of the Apernium, while the other was clad in the livery of the King. The latter offered a crisp bow and presented himself to Lendelaine, saying, “Ambassador, welcome to Severon. King Dangren is pleased to have a member of the Advisory Council of Tal Nadesh as a guest in our fair city again. In the King’s own words, ‘It is a sadness for two good friends to remain so far apart.’” Lendelaine offered some lush diplomatic reply, but Glori barely heard him. Her eyes were on the far side of the room, where a familiar figure was rising from a bench near the entry. Her grin matched his as he came forward to enfold her in a warm embrace. “I missed you,” Glori said. “Right back at you,” Bredan replied. He drew back to see that the diplomats were all watching them, but his smile only grew wider as he reached out to clasp Kosk’s arm. “Where are Quellan and Xeeta?” Glori asked. “Quellan went to the temple complex this morning,” Bredan said. “Xeeta was back at the inn when I left her. I wouldn’t be here myself, except that I happened to run into Gavelmaster Ostrick, who mentioned that you were coming back today.” “We need to report in, see that our guest is settled, and secure the fragment of the key in the vault,” Javerin said sternly. But on seeing the look on Glori’s face the wizard relented. “I suppose you will need a brief interval to recover. I will send a messenger to the inn when the Circle is ready to debrief you.” Bredan clapped Glori on the arm. “Come on, I’ll stand you all a round.” “I should get back to the monastery,” Embrae said. “You are welcome to join us,” Kosk said. “Yes, please do come,” Glori said. The elf woman shook her head. She glanced over at the members of the diplomatic party but did not quite meet Lendelaine’s eyes. “I… I need some time to consider… things,” she said. “Wizard Javerin, I will return tomorrow to meet with your superiors.” “Thank you, Adept Kelandras,” Javerin said with a respectful bow. “Please extend our gratitude to your abbot.” The monk left, followed by the wizard and the other members of the diplomatic party. When they were alone again, Glori asked, “The others are well, then?” Bredan nodded. “There were a few tough stretches when it wasn’t clear we would all make it, but everything turned out mostly all right. Let’s go back to the inn. I’ve got a few stories to tell, and I’ll wager you do as well.” “It’ll take more than one round to get through our tale,” Kosk said. “But lead on.” [/QUOTE]
