Gone.And why?To satisfy his curiosity…. His need for learning more about magic and artifacts.  He has spent most of his riches to build this craft and fund his need for resources and allies to locate the five different parts of the CREATION SCHEMA.   He has battled or been forced into a complex game of chance and chess with the Emerald Claw, Dragons, the nations of Khorvaire, House Kundarak.  Others got involved also.  The Aurum (not written about much here but they were there), the Chamber, and various forces looking to use the artifact.There is the dragon nick-named Bree and its master that hides very well in the shadows (Face of the False Moon).   Reports of the Lord of Blades and another large grouping of warforged have been reported.The other adventurers…. Cedious, Bludgeon, the list goes on.It needs to end.He is still uncertain what the CREATION SCHEMA can do but with this many groups of power and influence actively battling against each other it has to be great.  Early research suggested it was the template to build and repair the original forges of the warforged.Kim since believes it can do more than that.   So much more.But how?   How can he act on it.   It is only Jasyne and himself.  It is clear the archer no longer trusts him… no longer respects him.Can he be blamed?“Cheer up- the Calvary has arrived my dwarven friend.”Kim looks up, he sees several people standing in the doorway of the room.“Glyder….?   Glyder Freetime- is that you?”“Yes- and I have brought friends for your time of need.   This is a turning point in your life.  A big one at that.   Stop self-pitying…. It is ugly on your already ugly dwarven face.”The time traveling Gnome steps in.   The last time Kim saw the gnome, he was struck down and disintegrated by a bolt of pure chaotic energy.   He was but a lad then.   The gnome before him is older…. Crow lines are around his eyes.Behind him is another Gnome.  She is somewhat familiar to him.   Calli d’Sivis.   A writer.   Why is she here?  And…. A human with a red aberrant dragon mark on his face that can be seen on his hand also. “John Play….?  Is that you?”“The one and only…. Well maybe due to Glyde there may be more of me around… at this very instant.  I was told this is the end of the year 999.   Twenty minutes ago it was 998.”“Time is not linear with him.    What are we doing?   Gimme a hug my friends.”Jasyne watches…. He knows of Play.  A rogue Dark lantern.  As much a danger to everyone around him as Kim can be.  And now he is marked as a rogue dragonmark also.   Interesting… and unsettling.</blockquote>
