He knocks, and the sound is muffled by the weight of wood. Something is very wrong.
He knocks again, and the great door opens inward. A prickle runs down his back, the same kind your get when your parents send you down to the basement to get something.
“Mem?”
But the vast room is hushed. Darkened more by the fires blazing in every corner, the area luxurious but empty of life.
In the center, he sees a huge table, likely a tiny backless chair of the beautiful giantess and on the chair an envelope and on the envelope a message and on the message a knife.

[sblock=ooc]ok back on track. btw who exactly is knocking, shadow's can't knock can they?[/sblock]

 

[cog_and_taz]

[SBLOCK=OOC]Welcome back, and it's Iejir.[/SBLOCK]

 

[tiluvias99]

[sblock=OOC]Just as a note, Irthos and Iejir are currently undergoing a little reconstruction. They are 95% complete, but there are a couple things left to finish. So, hopefully, neither will have to do anything involving mechanics.

If there is something, I can pull some crunch time and finish really soon.

edit: Irthos is Finished. See the original post.

edit 2: Iejir is essentially (99%) finished. His current mechanics can now be used.[/sblock]

Does Iejir's Arcane Sight reveal anything?

Iejir fixes the note with a stare, and his breath leaves him. A thought enters his mind.
What do you see?
Mem is gone. There is a note on the table.
Irthos's voice in his head is silent, for a moment. Open it.

Iejir carefully walks around the table, sliding the knife away. He picks up the message and envelope, and slowly lifts the flap and begins to read.

 

[Ink]

Iejir slides the knife to the side. The blade many times heavier than he thought such a fine knife could be. The message in his hand, he begins to read.


Nobel Iejir,

I trust it is you who finds this letter, and I trust it finds thee well. Respectfully, I request you to pass these gifts to Irthos and Es. The envelope, as it is labeled, is for Lord Irthos. The “letter-opener” is for Es.

With thanks,
Forever,

Mem

Iejir passes the note through his link with Irthos as he reads. He shudders for a moment. Slowly he sets down the message, and picks up the envelope and knife, placing the latter in his belt pouch. He holds the envelope for a brief second as if contemplating it's opening- then shakes his head and shoves it in as well.

He walks back to Endeca's quarters, lost in thought. He sighes and winces, rubbing his eyes and forehead, regretting the previous night's revelries.

------------------

As Iejr enters the room, Irthos stands, his eyes cold. Iejir hands him the knife and envelope, and Irthos looks at it for a moment, his expression undecipherable. He closes his eyes for a moment, reaching with his mind.
A question? An answer?
We hunger still. The prey eludes us.
...Find her.
He opens his eyes. Iejir has already slumped down into a chair, nursing his head with yet another drink. Irthos looks to him, then says, "Grendle should be informed of what has happened. Find her."
Iejir sighes, finishing his drink with one enormous swallow, then stands. "I'm on it.
As he leaves the room, Irthos examines the knife for a long moment in silence. Sighing, he likewise places it in his belt, then walks to a private corner before opening the envelope. He reads in silence.

 

[Ink]

Most Noble Lord Irthos,

It is within our very home, it doth seek our body, guzzling our trust. Can I believe it stems from the temple and followers of the false god Pelor himself?

My faith again upon thee, protect mine body with the subtleness and discretion our past hath shown. If there be need, call out, faith will bring me be.

In trust,
Mem


[sblock=ooc]Tiluvias: check out my character Mem under steelsteal power sblock. Irthos and Mem would have discussed this and had this happen many times before over the years. He would know to keep the shadows a safe distance from the tether dog so there are no problems. Without Irthos directions, shadows might not readily be able to find her, since spirit is gone and in static mode. (aura sight...don't know but the blade might come up as something...since Mem is now in it...now now no metagaming)[/sblock]

 

[tiluvias99]

Thrice does Irthos read the note, 'til the words within his mind are as if set in stone.
He closes his eyes for a moment, contemplating.

He lifts a hand, and the letter burns away to ash.

 

[tiluvias99]

[sblock=OOC]Sorry 'bout the short post; didn't have time to finish it before.

Cool on Irthos knowing about Mem.[/sblock]Irthos dusts his hands off, the ash falling to the floor.

His mind drifts...

A question. An answer?
The fleshed one eludes us/We hunger still.
The hunt is ended. There will be other food.
Will we find this other food?/We hunger.
...Soon. There is a new hunt.
We hunger for the prey/When can we feed?
The tasteless one. She is the prey.
We hunger/We hunt.

Irthos awakens again. He looks to Endeca. "We need to find out what's going on within the city. Finding Mem will have to wait. We may be attacked again."
He sends a call to Iejir. Once you find Grendle, go to the city... find out what is happening. We will meet up there.

...And keep an eye out for Es.[sblock=OOC]No, Es is not actually "prey", but that's what terms the Shadows think in, so Irthos must send them a message alike to that.[/sblock]

 

[tiluvias99]

[sblock=OOC]Got a question for you, Ink. In addition to knowing about Mem's Stealsteel power and Es's rapier and such, does he know about the crystal horn, and it's connection to Mem? Also, would Mem have told him that he could communicate with her through the psi-crystal?[/sblock]
