Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vanor" data-source="post: 98161" data-attributes="member: 218">Vanor puts his arm around Diamond as she returns.  By now all is in readyness for what else needs to be done.I'm glad you all could make it here, it would not be right if this woman passed on to meet her ancestors without her friends and students gathered around to say farewell to her.Vanor fights back against the sadness he feels, but can not help a single tear from rolling down his cheek.I did not know Kith very well, by reptuation more then anything, altho we did face each other in a contest of skill.  She was a mighty fighter and a gifted teacher, she will be sorely missed, perhaps even more so by those of us who did not come to know her well.Darkwolf, I heard you say someone must pay for this, and to this I agree, you alone, of Kith's students have the skill required to deal with her killer I think.  So it will be up to you to see the person who did this is punished.But for now... Let us pay our final respects to her, and worry about things like vengance later.Vanor hugs Diamond, then bows to the pyre waiting to be set ablaze...  The jade gauntlet he wears glowing brighter and brighter.  He doesn't seem to even notice it, altho those around him do.  Unknown to him, he steps back a bit from the group and with out meaning to, seems to clear a circle around him.The jade gauntlet glows brighter still, and then with a flash, Vanor is replaced with a large metalic blue dragon...The dragon flaps it's wings and looks around with glowing blue eyes."Do not fear Lady Diamond, or any others gathered around, Vanor counts you as friends and more.  I know this form is startling, but fear not... This is just a form that he did not know about..."The Dragon looks around at the group somewhat bemused"Yes beloved, it is still me, your bethrothed, but in a form that I may one day master more fully... For now at this time I am able to do this out of greif and to impart all of you some knowladge.  It is likely I will not even remember this when I turn back to a mortal man again.Know this, that the body that lays there, in fact held two spirits, Kith whom all of you have come to pay your respects to, as well as Shard, the fighter who was killed.  How this came to be I do not know, but it was given to me to assume this form so I might impart this to you all.And now it is time to commend this body to the flames that the spirits may rise and be reborn in their time."Vanor the Dragon, throws his head back and roars at the heaven then unleashes a gout of blue/white flame, engulfing the pyre and setting it ablaze.  In a rumbleing voice, he says "Good by Kith" and then in a flash of blue light, Vanor the man is standing there once more, this time tears streeming down his face freely..."Good by Kith..."</blockquote>
