The accursed John Play is dead also.    The boy is infuriating as he is lucky and unpredictable. Besides, he can afford to lose Caleb but may bring back Jocasta.“I request permission for us to return to the ruins of Cyre and stop the Lord of Blades and retrieve our teammates body as we retrieved both of yours.”“Little do I care about him or your own lives.   Go!   Go if you spy master agrees…. Or doesn’t.”He has his trusted aids bring her body to a special room in a secret area of the Royal Eyes compound.  He then contacts the head of the House Jorasco healers guild.  =========================================================================================“Are the repairs made?” commands the Savior of the warforged.    There was some damage created when the Emerald Claw invaded and their undead clawed and chewed at the controls.   Also, one of the artificers was made inert.   He was repaired easily but mentally he was no warrior.  He needed time to recover his nerves.“Then begin the process once more.   Bring me SN #3!”=========================================================================“Are the rituals readied?” asks the spymaster.“They are Master Hilanger.” Says the halfling Druid / Cleric.The oiled body of Jocasta is placed on an alter.   Before it is a large tub of mineral water with magical treated stones on the bottom.   Burning and blessed coals from wood and herbs remain lit in bins surrounding the water tub.“In the names and powers of Boldrei, Dol Arrah, Olladra and Onatar I call on the Keeper.   I wish for the spirit and soul of Jocasta Diane Willowspear to hear me.”The fumes and flames move abruptly as if a strong wind came by.   The eyes of the halfling ritual leader widen at the awe and power he manipulates currently….. the power of a god.“Daughter of Benjamin Gree Willowspear farmer and of elven blood, daughter of Jennifer Sarah Dasherjam also a farmer but of human blood…..    daughter of the country of Aundair, the spirit of the Dragon Hawk and the passion of its peoples…..    Do you wish….. are you willing to return to them?”The water ripples and the stones glimmer slightly.    Soon, she will be reincarnated into a new form.==========================================================================“Why do we return so soon?”“Why my dearest Quintos…. Have you no faith?”“I trust you my lord.”“Good.   Now be a good lad and give the command.”=================================================================================The artificer pulls a lever that begins the flow of energy to give the form life.   At this very moment, the energy that is Jocasta’s soul hestitates in Aundair.    She / It is distracted.    Something calls to her mind.  At that moment, the Emerald Claw once more try to take over the Forge.As they float in from the broken window above, SN #1 and SN #2 step forward.   These warforged are bigger than most.  Not chargers but still special.Suddenly the inert forged body of SN#3 begins to thrash about.  It is coming to life!=================================================================================The halfling druid / cleric cannot help himself.   He laughs in pure joy and bliss as the water bubbles and churns.   Magic is shaping the four elements and creating a new body for her.    A body that her soul can possess and live again….. in Aundair’s service obviously.==========================================================================Vollax and Quintos fly up through the window.  “What is that thing?” demands the leader.   “So much anger and fury….. all directed at me!”“Move on my lord.  There are three warforged with wings approaching us from the south.”===================================================================“What is that ….. thing?!?” demands the leader.    The druid / cleric’s bliss and rapture has changed to awe and even horror.   Before them sits a woman…. Not elven or human…. Not even the original mix of the two.  The half-orc sits up and stares at her hands.   “who….. am I” it speaks in broken orc.  On it’s forehead is a strange emblem or design…. A fingerprint of a spiritual matrix….. similar to that found on a warforged.</blockquote>
