You are standing in the pub called 'Devastater's harp'. It is a friendly looking pub build as a pile dwelling some meters away form the shore in a shallow area of the lake. Through the windows you have a beautiful view over the lake. There are benches arranged around wooden tables and a small stage is located at one wall. Sometimes Devastater himself enters this stage to impress the audience with his songs and tales. At the other wall you see a big bar with a large mirror behind it. Right of the mirror a harp and a horn are fixed to the wall. At the left side you see a large picture. At the bar a sign is fixed. There is a closed trapdoor in the floor. There is one obvious exit: out. A trashbasket. Gwyndalf[satai]. A bright-eyed ivory-skinned female elf is sitting at the massive wooden table in the center of the room. A funny strong male elf. A massive dark-haired male elf is sitting at the massive wooden table in the center of the room. The bright-eyed ivory-skinned female elf's eyes open a bit wider, and she blushes and gasps slightly. Gwyndalf shouts in xyllic: HOI! The massive dark-haired male elf looks at you. The bright-eyed ivory-skinned female elf looks up to you. You say in xyllic: Hello! The bright-eyed ivory-skinned female elf sings softly in zida'ya: Greetings sir, may I know your name? You bow slightly. The funny strong male elf smiles friendly at you. introduce me You say in xyllic: I'm Crotalo Biscia, humble servant of Huitzilopochtli. Gwyndalf introduces you to the others as Crotalo. The funny strong male elf says in xyllic: I'm Devalri, barkeeper in 'Devastaters harp'. The funny strong male elf nods solemnly. The massive dark-haired male elf eyes you warily. The bright-eyed ivory-skinned female elf smiles at you. The bright-eyed ivory-skinned female elf sings charmingly in zida'ya: I am Ti'Kara Kariya, Former Princess of Jaromira, proud Swordlady for the Satais, and student of Griffin. Gwyndalf sits down at the massive wooden table in the center of the room. Tikara looks at Gwyndalf. Gwyndalf looks at Tikara. Tikara smiles at Gwyndalf. You say in xyllic: Tikara, or just Kara? Gwyndalf says in xyllic: and i am the old uncle Gwynny. You smile politely. Tikara sings softly in zida'ya: Ti, Kara, Ti'Kara. however you like. Tikara smiles at Gwyndalf. Gwyndalf looks at the tables. Gwyndalf looks at the list. Gwyndalf buys a ration. Gwyndalf buys a ration. Tikara looks up to you. You say in xyllic: Funny name.. I don't believe that a letter would reach you if I tried to write that... Gwyndalf eats two rations. You grin evilly. The massive dark-haired male elf speaks calmly in zida'ya: Well, then dont, Crotalo. Tikara sings softly in zida'ya: many people mail me to tikara, seems the Post office doesn't like the way I spell my name. Tikara twinkles her eyes merrily. Gwyndalf looks up to the massive dark-haired male elf. You look at Xxx. Xxx is a massive dark-haired male elf, presenting himself as: Xxx, male elf. The dark hair, which has the colour of an ancient oak's wood, perfectly matches the piercing, almond-shaped eyes. The eyes theirselves are green like leaves are only in the richest time of spring. The scar on the right cheek looks as if carved into an oak's wood, deep and dark. You notice scars on his nose, right hand, left cheek and right cheek. He is very tall and lean for an elf. He looks fine. He is in good shape. He is extremely alert. He is wearing a black cloak with silver trim, a golden ring, a green wristband, a long feathered Earring with a pearl, a medium backpack, a pair of heavy combat boots, a ruby-encrusted silver bracelet, a rune-covered helmet and a white glowing robe. You guess he is wearing nothing additionally. Xxx smiles apologetically. : Gwyndalf: insan, i thought u were once beggar in elohim, right??? ask xxx and what's your name again? You ask Xxx in xyllic: and what's your name again? : Tikara: *giggle* : Xxx: what? :) : Gwyndalf: your char was never beggar? : Xxx: not really...:) Xxx says in zida'ya: I'm Insaniadhal Halfheart, Satai student of Griffin, 8th Jitsua of the Order of Warshrikes, former Champion of Koranishaxx. Xxx speaks calmly in zida'ya: Cousin and bloodbrother of Eratul Calmwood. The funny strong male elf says in xyllic: I'm Devalri, barkeeper in 'Devastaters harp'. You changed your memory to Insaniadhal. : Gwyndalf: what then? i jknow your name from somewhere! You frown slightly. Is something wrong? : Insaniadhal: I honestly dont know You say in xyllic: ah, this insane burner of priests... : Gwyndalf: me getting old Tikara raises her eyebrow. Gwyndalf says in xyllic: burner of what? Tikara mentions in zida'ya: Perhaps the priests were in need of a cleansing burn? You say in xyllic: wasn't he with those men who burned ahuitzotl? Insaniadhal says in zida'ya: #sweetly# Crotalo, that is long ago. And although I do not repeat it, I do not feel shame for Ahuit-whats-his-name. Tikara's eyes twinkle slightly. : Insaniadhal: hmm you know what was intended..:) Tikara smiles at Insaniadhal. Insaniadhal speaks calmly in zida'ya: Well, Ti'Kara, you are right. You say in xyllic: a barbarian and a murderer... and a satai who likes these ways? You shiver. Insaniadhal speaks calmly in zida'ya: Honestly, Crotalo, I told you I would not repet it as I live now. But I never feel shame for what I did in the past. Crotalo: insaniadhal is still an enemy? Li: yes You ask Insaniadhal in xyllic: what else would you do to him today? Gwyndalf smiles at Tikara. You raise an eyebrow curiously. Tikara smiles softly at Gwyndalf. : lag lag lag... Tikara asks you in zida'ya: Why do you ask him now? Tikara raises her eyebrow at you. Tikara twirls her curls around her index finger. Insaniadhal says to you in zida'ya: I would ignore him, or maybe ask him how the burn marks healed. Tikara says softly to you in zida'ya: I think he hasn't to answer to you or? You will speak zida'ya now. You say in zida'ya: of course he doesn't need to answer! he doesn't even have to look at me! You growl at Tikara. You say to Tikara in zida'ya: and who are you to interrupt my talk to him? You pat Tikara on the head. Tikara pulls her head quickly away from you. Insaniadhal says to you in zida'ya: I believe you have showed enough disrespect now. You contemptuously spit on the ground. The funny strong male elf slaps you. Tikara says sweetly to you in zida'ya: Please never put your hands on me again. Insaniadhal speaks calmly in zida'ya: You should leave now. Gwyndalf laughs. : Insaniadhal: Praise devalri! :) : Tikara: ROTFFL You emote: Crotalo kicks against one of the tables. : Gwyndalf: praise whatever :) Insaniadhal stands up and leaves the massive wooden table in the center of the room. You hum a mystic melody to your deity. Suddenly the air is ripped appart by a blood red slash. You establish a portal. // Off to the inner guildrooms. Crotalo: insaniadhal is at the Devastaters Harp Li: ok Crotalo: together with two Satai Li steps out of the void. A disc hovers in. Li sings softly in xyllic: Who? You sigh deeply. You say in zida'ya: Tikara and... hm, what was his name... You say in zida'ya: Gwyndalf: Li nods understandingly. // Some preparations. Then Li leaves through a portal. A robed and hooded elf: I have him Crotalo: Great! Witnesses? A robed and hooded elf: I was robed and hooded and gone before they could do more than gasp :) You grab the hood of your robe and pull it deep in your face, hiding yourself under your blood-red robe. // I went to the jail. The granite stone walls of this room are blackened with sot. The only remarkable thing in this room is a skeleton chained to the wall and some straw in the corner. An old crooked torch is adjusted to the wall giving some light. An open massive steel door is leading east. Insaniadhal[enemy] (in chains). A robed and hooded elf (inside a storm cone). You pat Insaniadhal on the head. The robed and hooded elf sings softly in xyllic: Welcome, enemy The robed and hooded elf pulls the hood of her head and you can see her face again. Insaniadhal tries to wrestle against the bonds. You say to Insaniadhal in nahuatl: nice to see you again! You push the hood back and open your robe. You will speak xyllic now. Li sings softly in xyllic: Don't waste your strength Oops up! You say to Insaniadhal in xyllic: nice to see you again! You grin evilly. Insaniadhal glares up, not saying a word. : Insaniadhal: laggy a bit Li ponders the situation. Li says to Insaniadhal in xyllic: I guess you know why you are here.. You cackle silently. Insaniadhal gives some final pulls against the bond and stops, realizing it is futile. Insaniadhal just stares up coldly at you two. Li sings softly in xyllic: I take that as a yes You ask Insaniadhal in xyllic: You are quite silent now... You grin evilly at Insaniadhal. Insaniadhal meets your eyes with an icy stare. Li sings softly in xyllic: As I heard the Lord granted the power to set you asleep.. Li sings softly in xyllic: So that shows that He still has not forgiven you.. Insaniadhal unconsciously wrestles against the bonds again. Li grabs Insaniadhal's chin and forces him to face her. Insaniadhal resists, but can hardly manage to. Li says to Insaniadhal in xyllic: And I haven't forgiven you, too. The storm around Li vanishes. Insaniadhal's facial features tense. Insaniadhal closes his eyes and looks side-ways. Li says to Insaniadhal in xyllic: Don't think that only you will get punished for the deeds your crazy organisation has done.. Li chants a prayer to her deity. Li prays and grey mists flow out of her hands. Li releases Insaniadhal's chin with a quick sharp slap. Insaniadhal breathes painfully, as a thin thread of blood flows down his chin. Insaniadhal turns back to face you. : Insaniadhal: you=li Li sings softly in xyllic: I wonder what you thought you would achieve with your cowardly attack on our holy place and our priest. You ask Insaniadhal in xyllic: well... now it's less funny than at Deva's harp, eh? Insaniadhal glances at you, ignoring Li. You say to Li in xyllic: I was asking him questions there... but he preferred to make fun of me. You kick Insaniadhal. Yeah, I like that! Li nods softly. Li says to you in xyllic: Not surprising. He always behaves like that when he thinks himself superiour : Insaniadhal: hey, it was devalri that patted your head not me..:) sorry for the ooc : I know, but it's me who is defining the truth here ;) Insaniadhal straightens in his bonds, the bodd still clinging to his chin. : Insaniadhal: :) Li: Strange, no tell yet that I shall release him or something like that...it seems they don't care or even agree :) : Insaniadhal: blood even Crotalo: perhaps he would like to do something useful... like offering his heart? *grin* Li asks Insaniadhal in xyllic: So, why did you attack our shrine that day? Insaniadhal stares past Li still, toward you. Li sighs softly. Li sings softly in xyllic: you shouldn't ignore me... You slap Insaniadhal. Li starts moving east. Li skips out east. You say to Insaniadhal in xyllic: Answer her questions! Insaniadhal's head is cast side-ways by the force. Li dances in. Whack! Li whips Insaniadhal with a blood-red leather whip! Insaniadhal groans painfully. You say to Insaniadhal in xyllic: Answer her questions! Li smiles softly. Insaniadhal breathes painfully. You emote: Crotalo grabs Insaniadhal's hair, forcing him to look straight. Insaniadhal looks straight forward. You emote: Crotalo releases the grip. Li sings softly in xyllic: Once again...why did you do it? Insaniadhal's head slumps downward. You knee Insaniadhal where it hurts. You punch Insaniadhal in the face. With a crack, Insaniadhal loses his front teeth. Li hums a mystic melody. Insaniadhal hangs in his bonds for a moment, before recovering himself. Li looks at the set of front teeth. You say in xyllic: ah... he lost something... You grin evilly. You ask Li in xyllic: shall I try to fix them again? Li: Oh Crotalo, you are violent :) Li nods softly to you. Insaniadhal struggles against the bonds. Crotalo: shall I be ashamed of it? ;) You get a set of front teeth. Insaniadhal clenches his jaws tight. Li: Uuuh, no :) You giggle happily. Li says to Insaniadhal in xyllic: I asked you a simple question You chant a prayer to Huitzilopochtli. You fix the front teeth of Insaniadhal with your godgiven power. You slap Insaniadhal. Whack! Li whips Insaniadhal with a blood-red leather whip! Insaniadhal groans painfully. You say in xyllic: Yes, fixed... they don't fall off again... Insaniadhal is slammed back into his bonds. You grin evilly at Insaniadhal. Li asks Insaniadhal in xyllic: How shall your soul be forgiven when you don't answer a few simple questions? You shout in xyllic: and now answer her questions, dude! Insaniadhal is too considered with coping with the pain to keep up straight. You say in xyllic: seems he's a bit tired? You grin evilly at Li. Li chants a prayer to her deity. Li unwields a blood-red leather whip. Li wields a sacrificial knife in her right hand. Li chants a prayer to her deity. Insaniadhal coughs painfully. Li chants a prayer to her deity. Li sings softly in xyllic: Maybe the longing for food will loose his tongue.. You emote: Crotalo pulls Insaniadhal's eyes open, looking into them. Insaniadhal gulps painfully. Li unwields a sacrificial knife. Li wields a blood-red leather whip in her right hand. You say in xyllic: Hm... a bit boodshot... Insaniadhal looks back weary. You say in xyllic: Too much alcohol recently, eh? That's bad for your health, man! Li sings softly in xyllic: It is his bad conscience.. You emote: Crotalo violently stomps on Insaniadhal's left foot. Li sings softly in xyllic: It tires his soul and with it his body Insaniadhal shudders slightly, unable to bring up more power than shuddering. Whack! Li whips Insaniadhal with a blood-red leather whip! Insaniadhal screams loudly. Li asks Insaniadhal in xyllic: Or not? Insaniadhal's eyes glaze over. You hum a mystic melody to your deity. You create a stinking fish. You drop a stinking fish. You say in xyllic: just in case you are hungry... Li asks Insaniadhal in xyllic: Do you still think it was right what you and your friends did? You emote: Crotalo grabs Insaniadhal be the shoulders and shakes him. Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: What... Insaniadhal coughs heavily, still having his eyes closed. A shimmering image of Tikara forms slowly in front of you and says: Why'd you take him? Let him go you horrid monster! The image then fades away into nothingness. Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: What...do you want... Insaniadhal coughs up some blood. Li sings softly in xyllic: Oh, he speaks.. Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: To...hear? Li says to Insaniadhal in xyllic: I want to know why you did it.. You hum a mystic melody to your deity. You tell Tikara: I didn't take him, and I'm no monster... insaniadhal is the monster who burned a man alive! Insaniadhal lets his weight rest in your arms, unable to hold it himself. Li says to Insaniadhal in xyllic: And what you thought you would achieve with it.. Insaniadhal gives a painful, mirthless smile. Crotalo: Tikara just called me a horrid monster! *giggle* Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: Whatever...I...say... Insaniadhal shivers. Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: Is...nothing worth for...you anyways. Li sings softly in xyllic: Oh, is that so? You knee Insaniadhal where it hurts. Whack! Li whips Insaniadhal with a blood-red leather whip! Insaniadhal moans painfully. Li says to Insaniadhal in xyllic: Wrong answer A shimmering image of Tikara forms slowly in front of you and says: Then let him go if you are no monster. That was in his past, did you not hear when he said he'd not do such a thing again? You are in direct violation of our treaty. YOU, who are enemy, yet we did not do anything to YOU sir. Why do you keep him? Let him go. The image then fades away into nothingness. Insaniadhal finally manages to open his eyes, new strength gained through the pain. Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: We...slew...Ahuitzotl...because... Insaniadhal shudders violently. You hum a mystic melody to your deity. You tell Tikara: I'm sorry, but I have to follow my orders... he's going to be punished for his evil deeds. Li unwields a blood-red leather whip. Li wields a sacrificial knife in her right hand. Li chants a prayer to her deity. Li prays and grey mists flow out of her hands. Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: We...had..no other..choice... Li raises her eyebrow. Li sings softly in xyllic: No other choice? Li chants a prayer to her deity. Grey mist flows out of Li's hands. Li carefully folds up her sleeve while she speaks some words in a language that does not seem to be made for her tongue. She closes her fist tightly and you see the blood pulse in her veins. With a swift cut of her dagger she opens a long gash in her wrist. Li's wounds start to bleed. Li sings softly in xyllic: You shouldn't try to fool me Li's wounds stopped bleeding. You say in xyllic: no other choice? than murdering a priest in such a cruel way? Insaniadhal slams his head down onto his chest, in the attempt of a nod. Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: Not cruel...we had ...no other...choice. You slap Insaniadhal. Li asks Insaniadhal in xyllic: And why do you think you had no choice? Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: The Lady Koranishaxx...herself..commanded us... Insaniadhal shivers heavily. Li says in xyllic: #snarl# You say in xyllic: so you acted under kommand of a demon, eh? Li snorts in disdane. Insaniadhal tries to peer at you, but lacks any intimidating manner. : s/k/c/ Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: Please...try to understand... Insaniadhal coughs. Li says to Insaniadhal in xyllic: I wonder if you think us fools or if you really believe in this crap. Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: I mean it! Insaniadhal is exhausted by his louder voice. You say in xyllic: I'm beginning to understand, yes... the demon Koranishaxx starts commanding to burn the followers of Huitzilopochtli... You say in xyllic: because the fire of our corpses shall be the last light this world shall see! Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: Please...not demon... Li chuckles softly. Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: The...Children...of the...Flame are no more... You growl. : lag, sorry. Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: If...if... You ask softly in xyllic: THey are no more? What happened to them? You smile sweetly. Insaniadhal forces the word out very carefully and harshly. Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: If Huitzilopochtli commanded you to do anything... Insaniadhal shivers. Li asks Insaniadhal in xyllic: And why? I mean your 'goddess' lives here for quite some time and such a thing never happened before and only you and a few others got involved, and it lasted only a short time...I guess you just thought it was your lady who asked you to do such a cruel deed but in truth it was your madness that guided you. Li unwields a sacrificial knife. Li wields a blood-red leather whip in her right hand. Whack! Li whips Insaniadhal with a blood-red leather whip! Insaniadhal moans painfully. Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: Would...you...deny it? Li sings softly in xyllic: You don't use His name Li sings softly in xyllic: The Lord wouldn't ask us to do such a thing Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: The..Children are no..more, because Koranishaxx..told us...the time for rage was over. Insaniadhal slams back in his bonds, strength vanished again. Li takes a very close look at Insaniadhal. You hum a mystic melody to your deity. You tell Maedhros: Excuse me, is Insaniadhal still outlawed in Elohim? Insaniadhal looks up with some last strength. A large dragonfly buzzes in and circles around your head. Suddenly, the dragonfly starts hovering in front of your face, and you notice an eerie green glow emanating from its eyes. Within the glow, an image of Maedhros forms up, telling you: He is not. I heard he was kidnapped? You blink your eyes, only to realize that the dragonfly is gone. Li asks Insaniadhal in xyllic: And what did it give you? Except for trouble I mean? Nothing, nothing at all Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: Believe me...or believe me..not...I speak truth...and I shall never...lie, even to you. You hum a mystic melody to your deity. You tell Maedhros: He is our guest right now. Insaniadhal lets his head fall down again. A large dragonfly buzzes in and circles around your head. Suddenly, the dragonfly starts hovering in front of your face, and you notice an eerie green glow emanating from its eyes. Within the glow, an image of Maedhros forms up, telling you: I heard so. You are aware that capturing people in Elohim is against all agreements between Elohim and Yucatan? You'll have to face legal actions for this. You blink your eyes, only to realize that the dragonfly is gone. You hum a mystic melody to your deity. Huitzilopochtli granted you a better knowledge in this miracle! You tell Maedhros: I will take full responsibility for his voyage. Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: Now...have your way...with me as you wish. I answered your...questions. Li says to Insaniadhal in xyllic: It showed very well that your lady seeks only slaves. It seems she tested you to see how far you would go, hmm? Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: Please...do not talk about her that way... Li unwields a blood-red leather whip. Crotalo: maedhros sent me a tell concerning the "kidnapping" of insaniadhal.. I answered that *I* will take full responsibility for insaniadhal's voyage to yucatan, and no word about you Li ponders the situation. Crotalo: let's keep it that way? A large dragonfly buzzes in and circles around your head. Suddenly, the dragonfly starts hovering in front of your face, and you notice an eerie green glow emanating from its eyes. Within the glow, an image of Maedhros forms up, telling you: What will happen to him, and why did you capture him? You blink your eyes, only to realize that the dragonfly is gone. Li: Hmm...they only saw a robed and hooded elf Li sings softly in xyllic: Well, I guess in this rare moment you are right. I think we have talked enough. Insaniadhal looks up almost full of hope. You hum a mystic melody to your deity. You tell Maedhros: we captured him because he still did not pay for the death of ahuitzotl.... and his fate depends on his own behaviour. Li asks Insaniadhal in xyllic: Are you ready to face the Lord? Insaniadhal seems to widen his eyes in terror. Li smiles softly at Insaniadhal. Insaniadhal speaks painfully in zida'ya: I...answered your questions... You grin slightly. Li sings softly in xyllic: Yes, mine... A large dragonfly buzzes in and circles around your head. Suddenly, the dragonfly starts hovering in front of your face, and you notice an eerie green glow emanating from its eyes. Within the glow, an image of Maedhros forms up, telling you: I heard there was some verbal fight with him in the Devastator's Harp? Could you tell me, too, how things happened. I'm just now being told by a Satai. You blink your eyes, only to realize that the dragonfly is gone. Li sings softly in xyllic: But the Lord wants to care for your soul... Insaniadhal found the last of his strength and struggles against the bonds, being exhausted after some seconds. A large dragonfly buzzes in and circles around your head. Suddenly, the dragonfly starts hovering in front of your face, and you notice an eerie green glow emanating from its eyes. Within the glow, an image of Maedhros forms up, telling you: is there a chance to get him out? Something the Satai, or someone else could offer? You blink your eyes, only to realize that the dragonfly is gone. Li sings softly in xyllic: Let us bring this to an end.. Li wields a sacrificial knife in her right hand. Li chants a prayer to her deity. Li mumbles 'Uhrrr gahlda' and a ball of light begins to glow in front of her Li chants a prayer to her deity. You hum a mystic melody to your deity. You tell Maedhros: I will answer all your questions in a few moments, in Elohim. You can arrest me there if you like... and no, there is no chance to free him. Li mumbles 'Uhrrr gahlda' and a ball of light begins to glow in front of her Li chants a prayer to her deity. Li hums a mystic melody. Small lightning bolts fly from the hands of Li and form a globe around Insaniadhal. // Off to the altar. A large dragonfly buzzes in and circles around your head. Suddenly, the dragonfly starts hovering in front of your face, and you notice an eerie green glow emanating from its eyes. Within the glow, an image of Maedhros forms up, telling you: I am with too many Satais at the moment, I think. Getting you killed on the spot would solve nothing. You blink your eyes, only to realize that the dragonfly is gone. Li chants a short prayer and the altar is blessed for the sacrifice. Then she takes Insaniadhal and puts him on the altar. You contemplately look down. You lowly chant a prayer to Huitzilopochtli. Li hums a mystic melody. Li tells you: Ich lass ihn laufen // I'll let him go. You stop your chanting. You smile. Insaniadhal stares at the ceiling. Li softly caresses Insaniadhal. : Gut:) // Good:) Li says to Insaniadhal in xyllic: You fell His presence? A shimmering image of Tikara forms slowly in front of you and says: Come talk to me please.. please don't harm him. I beg you. I'm out of mana, so am having a hard time to comunicate, please come talk to me. The image then fades away into nothingness. Insaniadhal is rigid like a stone. Li says to Insaniadhal in xyllic: Soon you will be as close as possible to Him. A large dragonfly buzzes in and circles around your head. Suddenly, the dragonfly starts hovering in front of your face, and you notice an eerie green glow emanating from its eyes. Within the glow, an image of Maedhros forms up, telling you: Where to meet? You blink your eyes, only to realize that the dragonfly is gone. Li smiles at Insaniadhal. You hum a mystic melody to your deity. You tell Tikara: You won't need any mana to talk to me, since I will come back to Elohim soon. Li says to Insaniadhal in xyllic: I envy you. You feel that Maedhros is mentally searching you. Do you want to help him by concentrating on Maedhros? // Here? Not a good idea... ;) Li hums a mystic melody. A large dragonfly buzzes in and circles around your head. Suddenly, the dragonfly starts hovering in front of your face, and you notice an eerie green glow emanating from its eyes. Within the glow, an image of Maedhros forms up, telling you: Select a place where I can teleport to. You blink your eyes, only to realize that the dragonfly is gone. Li carefully folds up her sleeve while she speaks some words in a language that does not seem to be made for her tongue. She closes her fist tightly and you see the blood pulse in her veins. With a swift cut of her dagger she opens a long gash in her wrist. Li's wounds start to bleed. You hum a mystic melody to your deity. You tell Maedhros: anywhere you like... but you cannot come here, wait a moment, please Li's wounds stopped bleeding. Li hums a mystic melody. Li hums a mystic melody. Li calls the powers of Huitzilopochtli on Insaniadhal and he falls into a rigor mortis. Insaniadhal falls unconscious. Li hums a mystic melody. A large dragonfly buzzes in and circles around your head. Suddenly, the dragonfly starts hovering in front of your face, and you notice an eerie green glow emanating from its eyes. Within the glow, an image of Maedhros forms up, telling you: I know. Simply go to a suitable place, then tell me, and I'll concentrate again. You blink your eyes, only to realize that the dragonfly is gone. Crotalo: maedhros wants to meet me... Insaniadhal wakes up. The blackness in this room is only desturbed by a single candle burning on a huge black altar. On the walls are inscriptions to ward of Rokoon. The dried blood of hundreds of offerings is on the altar. Their souls are now with Huitzilopochtli. To the west is a large hall full of statues. Between the large altar and the eastern wall there is another huge statue showing a human wielding the javelin and a long hooded blue robe. There is one obvious exit: west. Insaniadhal[enemy] (spread on the altar). Li[huitzi, lineerlay]. Jyrka: Greetings! Li: Hello Jyrka Insaniadhal falls unconscious. Li hums a mystic melody. Small lightning bolts fly from the hands of Li and form a globe around Insaniadhal. Crotalo: Hi, Jyrka! Careful, we have a bit of trouble, avoid the satai! You receive a slight shock as the pent up electricity in the globe discharges. Li sings softly in xyllic: I will drop him then // Li leaves. Jyrka: *sigh* Who was it this time ? Li: Insania You hum a mystic melody to your deity. Suddenly the air is ripped appart by a blood red slash. You establish a portal. // And I'm off to Elohim. The dining room of the castle. This splendid furnished room is comfortably warm due to the big marble fireplace in the northern wall. There is a long finely carved table in the center of the room, where people can sit down to a good elven meal. Hanging above the table is a magnificent chandelier of candles. To the south, you see the kitchen. There is a menu on the east wall. There are three obvious exits: south, southwest, west. Li: It's alright, Jyrka Jyrka: it isnt ... i missed it *pout* You hum a mystic melody to your deity. You tell Maedhros: You can come here. You feel that Maedhros is mentally searching you. Do you want to help him by concentrating on Maedhros? You sit down to rest a while. > concentrate maedhros Ok, you establish the link. Maedhros materializes out of a sparkling silvery mist.

Gingali says in xyllic: so, the order was to get him in your hands at any cost? You nod solemnly. You say in xyllic: well, I tried to avoid that... I wanted to question him at the harp, I even tried to be friendly... but... You're beginning to get a little thirsty. Nothing to worry about yet, but you could drink something!

You say in xyllic: He did not care about ... what? I don't quite understand the remark... Li: Farewell all! You smile questioningly at Maedhros. Maedhros's eyes narrow and focus onto some point in midair. Maedhros takes a deep breath and looks concentrated. Li: You are alright, Crotalo? Maedhros just summoned a blue stone but it vanishes again. Crotalo: quite... they are still asking me questions Crotalo: I might be outlawed after this talk... Maedhros says in xyllic: I asked. You nod thankfully to Maedhros. Gingali says in xyllic: i really wonder who was stubborn, but well... Li: Yes, might be...you willg et used to it *smile* Gingali sighs thoughtfully. Li: You did very well today. Maedhros says to you in xyllic: Insaniadhal said that he does not care if you hope he will survive or not. Li: Anyway, farewell :) Crotalo: Thanks. Bye. You say in xyllic: well... perhaps, yes... > Gingali says in xyllic: see? thats what i ment, that will most likely mean, you are the next they will burn on a stake and all this for answers i could have given you as well? i don"t see any logic in that..really not even a bit.. Gingali sighs deeply. You say in xyllic: he also told be he would like to know if ahuitzotl's wounds have healed... I didn't care much for that remark as well You sigh slightly.

Gingali sighs deeply. Gingali asks you in xyllic: have you been a priest allready when they burned the priest? You say in xyllic: No, I... think I was a disciple at that time Gingali laughs bitterly. Maedhros sighs slightly. Gingali says in xyllic: so you don"t even know what happend exactly there, right? Maedhros says in xyllic: The sins of the elders fall to the young...and the circle perpetuates. Gingali sighs deeply. You emote: Crotalo stares at the table, obviously not knowing what to say. > Gingali says in xyllic: you know, cohen killed me once too, because i was enemy of your guild, but do you know what for? because we lost a stupid fight and they killed two third of the team i was in, as i told him he asked me, was it for that? oh sorry, didn"t knew it was... following orders just blindly is makes you to something you surely don"t wanna be..

You offer in xyllic: You can lock me away if you think that would help... You gulp nervously. Gingali shakes his head in disagreement. Gingali says in xyllic: i am no friend of that, and to be honest it would bring me closer to your side than i'd love it, i'd like to make people think that they are respnsable for what they do, not orders or guildleaders... Gingali nods slowly. Maedhros seems to be slightly unaware of his surroundings for a moment. You say in xyllic: and what will you do with me then? You emote: Crotalo anxiously looks at Gingali.
