Titiania rose and went to follow him but he pushed her away.‘….white wizards’, AOS swore to himself as he strode back to the Siren. ‘I couldn’t agree more’. A voice came from the shadows followed by its owner Astragard the Demonist. ‘Take the battle, no Demons they told me!’ ‘I know’ said AOS. ‘The White Way wouldn’t know power if it bit them on the part of their anatomy that they are so fond of sitting on’.The Demonist subtly placed an arm around AOS’s shoulder and led him into the shadows ‘Come AOS let us talk not of powerless wizards but of your Lady, the Mistress of Demons…’Titania was worried, very worried. AOS’s disappearances were semi legendary but he always came back in the morning or at worse late afternoon, usually smelling of perfume. This was different; no one had seen him in a week. Not since he stormed out of Leo’s study. Two days ago she went to Leo and pleaded with him to use his magic to find AOS. Leo said that although he too was worried he couldn’t magically locate AOS because of his Amulet of Non Detection. It was at this point that all her worries and frustrations got the better of her and screaming ‘It’s all your fault!’ she leapt at the wizard, trying to claw his face with her long nails. Leo half jumped, half fell out of his chair and tried to get away from her. She chased the frightened looking wizard round his study at least twice before he leapt into a large cupboard and magically locked the door. Even that didn’t pacify her and she proceeded to hammer angrily upon the door; while from within came an echoic voice yelling for Tarquin to ‘Do something about this mad woman!’ Eventually Tarquin did arrive, roused by the noise, and half carried her, now sobbing, back to the Siren.Since that day Tarquin had spent as much time with her as his own schedule allowed, as had the Monk Cho. While she appreciated Tarquin’s visits and his reassurances that the travelling god would see AOS home safely she did not put much faith in them. She herself had offered up prayers to Dlamelish but the goddess seemed strangely quiet.She was happier with Cho’s visits for although the Monk provided reassurances about AOS’s return she also spoke of her homeland far to the West. Titania had never been to the Heavenly Mountains but Cho certainly made them sound beautiful. The two women also talked of Cho’s companion Xiang; Titania subtly quizzing the monk about whether she had any feelings for the spearman.On the seventh day of AOS’s disappearance there was a knock on Titania’s door, a message had been delivered for her. She recognised AOS’s writing and quickly opened it. All it said was ‘In case you are wondering I am talking to Astragard’. Titania threw down the paper and quickly ran downstairs and out of the Siren heading for the house she knew the Demonist had rented in the city. Having been admitted by a servant she stumbled breathlessly into the main room where she found AOS sitting in a large armchair holding a glass of wine. He seemed somewhat surprised to see her ‘Titania? What’s the matter? Did you not get my message? I suddenly realised that I had spent the last few hours here and you might wonder where I was’ ‘The last few hours?’ Titania shouted’ ‘AOS you have been missing a week!’ ‘Have I? Really? It didn’t seem that long…</blockquote>
