[QUOTE="megamania, post: 941789, member: 9255"] UNDER A DARKSUN SEGMENT 073 “Dassassavern” The night air was bringing in a comfortable but unfamiliar coolness. The air was so different in the forest compared to the scrublands or desert. Mania and Cosa took turns talking about their childhood and adventures. Mania avoided talking about his “baneful son” incident. In return, the powerful elemental spoke about the sad truth of his world dying. “What can we do about it?” asked Cosa. = little = replied the spirit = We, my kind and myself, can not act out. It is forbidden. We can only hope. Devi to the west says he meant a human whom hopes to reverse things as they stand. He wants to move slowly though. Something about drawing undue attention to himself and his cause = “Does he have a name?” asks Mania. = Don’t recall Devi ever saying it. All humans have at least one. I will ask Devi when next I commune with him = “We should create a shelter Mania. We can stay here in this area for the night then start out in daylight.” “Okay” = Allow me please = Dessassavern’s eyes go black and then the body he had formed hunches over and fills in creating a lean-to of earth and rock. The grasses growing in the ground inside the lean-to thicken and grow creating natural bedding. Both Mania and Cosa are awe struck. So amazed are they that they do not see the spirit reform a new body of earth and stone nearby. The dark recesses that would be the eyes begin to glow as the spirit occupies the form. = Is it to your liking? = “wow” murmurs Mania. Cosa is beyond words. Her eyes say it all much to the spirit’s happiness. They talk through to the late of night. Mania even alludes to his search of who his parents are and Cosa at collecting lost pages of a book that depicts the future. They leave at daylight with fruit, nuts and berries the spirit pointed out to them. They wave and promise to return. The spirit watches as they go, already missing them. Two days later the spirit communes with his brother spirit, Desverendi. [OOC- it is customary for each to give the name of the spirit spoken to, then to give an answer to the question asked before asking a new question in effect taking turns] “Brother Desverendi, how does the earth settle in your valley on this fine day?” “Brother Dassassavern, I am in good spirits. Hahahahahaha. A spirit in good spirits. Human humor is divine. Have the Nibenese loggers left your valley as of yet?” “Brother Desverendi, Yes. They have left my valley after a Behir “happened” by. Why have you communed with me so soon?” “Brother Dassassavern, I suspected as much from templars of the Shadow King. They run easily but with return like the seasons. Yesternight I meant and spoke with two wonderful and strange young human lovers. They asked me for a name of your human friend. May I ask you for it? “Brother Desverendi, Human lovers…oh my! They question for the name of Korgunard? My human friend’s name is Korgunard. What makes these two human lovers so wonderful and strange?” “Brother Dassassavern, we both have human friends now! How wonderful! They are wonderful since they are so free and talkative. They are strange since they tunneled from deep in the ground into my valley. Breaking edict……”Tunneled….?” [/QUOTE]
