MUCH LIKE THIS DAY.   NOTHING COULD MAKE IT BETTER.  NOTHING… EXCEPT FOR SOMEONE TO SHARE IT WITH.THAT IS WHEN YOU HEAR A SOFT COOING SOUND.  HE HAPPILY BUT SLOWLY TURN AROUND AND LOOK INTO THE TENT.  DRESSED ONLY IN GOLD, SILVER AND AZURE BEADS ON HER NECK, WRISTS AND HIP IS A NAKED FULL FIGURED FEMALE ELF.   MOISTURE GLISTENS ON HER BREATS, FIRM STOMACH AND ONE THIGH AS SHE SMILES AT YOU.“I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU MY PRINCE.   BUT FIRST I HAVE TWO THINGS FOR YOU.   THE FIRST, IS A REQUEST.  MY PEOPLE… MYSELF ALSO, ARE TROUBLED AND ARE IN NEED OF AID.  THE SICKNESS IS BACK AND WE ARE SUFFERING FOR IT.   I KNOW WHERE IT ORIGINATES FROM.   I NEED YOU TO DEAL WTH IT.  IT IS GROWING….. BECOMING STRONGER.   IT HAS MUTATED INTO SOMETHING VERY DANGEROUS.”THE OH-SO FAMILIAR ELVEN WOMAN SITS DOWN AND SMILES COYLY AT YOU.  “IF THIS CAN BE DONE, I MAY BE ABLE TO RESUME LOOKING FOR YOUR BROTHER WHOM LIVES NEAR HERE.”YOU ASK WHAT THE SECOND REQUEST IS.  SHE SMILES….. “ONLY…. YOURSELF.”  SHE PEERS THROUGH HER LONG DARK BROWN HAIR AS SHE REMOVES A TARA WITH BEADS HANGING FROM IT.  “AFTERALL-  THIS IS BUT A DREAM- THE ONLY LIMITS HERE ARE WHAT YOU DESIRE.”Olan opens his eyes with a start!  Lilapaul has contacted him- here in Draj at the Tsalaxa compound.  The plague!  It has gotten worse!  Lilapaul has said so!  The tiefling jumps to his feet.  What to do?  Olan knows he can and must do something then he hears a commotion outside of the gates.  Guards are shouting and pulling open the doors.In comes a well made carriage with armed guards.  Surrounding it are six armored crodlu with riders.  All have the marks of House Tsalaxa.   It has to be Yadda again.  As the compound guards begin to close the gates Koe jogs in.   He waves off the guards for a moment.  Stumbling and nearly collapsing, Choro comes in.  The stamina training has restarted. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😊" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60a.png" title="Smiling face with smiling eyes    :blush:" data-shortname=":blush:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /> One of the carriage riders hopes off and removes a box from the back.  He sets it down as a step and opens the door.  Indeed- it is Yadda Tsalaxa.Yaesha, Bartus and Massa come out of the main building.  Koe goes to meet them by Yadda’s carriage.  He was contacted by a messenger ahead of time.   Also contacted by a messenger is Drak whom arrives too late for the open gate.  He leaps up onto the gate and drops down in the courtyard.“Drak!  Choro!  What is happening?” calls out Olan.“Messenger…. Says come quickly.  Drak …klik klik… come quickly.”“Hargh…. Same….. Ah……”“What so they say?” Asks the thri-kreen.“Something about the plague….. crap I have information they need.”“How?” huffs Choro.“Lilapaul spoke to me.”“Oh….well then it has to be important.” Grumbles the half-giant shaking his head in disbelief.The three continue to watch as Massa becomes very upset about something discussed.  Yaesha and Yadda both turn and snap at her.  She doesn’t say anything after that.  A small case with a handle is brought to them by another of Yadda’s guards.  They set it down on the box used as a step.   Everyone gathers around it blocking Olan and the groups view.  Shortly everyone is dismissed.  Koe walks back to with a wand or rod in hand that has a ruby gem tip.“What was THAT about?!?” calls out Olan.“Plague still exists.   It is spreading.   Contaminating the oasis.” Begins Koe.“Yes.   Including Silver Springs.”Koe pauses.   “Go on.”“Ah…. Lilapaul contacted me.   She wants us to help her.”“I am sure she does.“What is that?” asks Choro.“Rod of Health.  It can cure injuries and neutralize poison.”“Nothing for disease?” quips Olan.“No.  Tomorrow we go towards Silver Springs.  We must search for the origin of the plague and end it.”“Anything else?”“Curing magic that doesn’t require knowledge.  I know some.  Choro some also.”“Can we request healing fruits?” Choro says louder than he meant to.A guard comes over with a small sack.  Yaesha follows him.  “You may have these to use also.   You leave tomorrow morning.”</blockquote>
