Traveler 06-17-03, 04:43 PM	(OOC: As we were saying... :D )
Acaed 06-18-03, 09:34 AM	((Your go, I believe.))
Traveler 06-18-03, 11:49 AM	(OOC: It is at that...) She leaned into his kisses...and stopped worrying. Later that night... "We need to leave the astral plane. I need the proper earth beneath my feet again," she whispered in the dark. Once again her head was upon his chest, rising and falling gently with it. He was stroking her hair.
Acaed 06-19-03, 09:29 AM	"Of course... We can head back to Elyiia. When you were sleeping last night, I had a missive sent to Dahreen letting her know we would remain in Elyiia in the High King's Palace, searching the Royal Library." He continues..."The Royal Library is not as...sparse? As some libraries are. The former High King was paranoid, and collected every single mage's library there was, composing them all into one huge library. The Library is as big as our old house was. I think it'll be the best place to start, don't you think?"
Traveler 06-20-03, 11:23 AM	"Eliiya..." She whispered, thinking of the place she had once begun to call home. "There is somewhere I need to go first."
Acaed 06-20-03, 11:52 AM	"Back home?"
Traveler 06-20-03, 12:04 PM	"To Kerava...to my father's house."
Acaed 06-21-03, 09:38 PM	"As I thought. Yes, we can journey there first."
Traveler 06-26-03, 11:42 PM	"Thank you," she whispered closing her eyes.
Acaed 06-29-03, 03:12 PM	"Of course, he said," and kissed her again. "We can leave now, if you'd like."
Traveler 06-29-03, 05:56 PM	"No...in the morning." (OOC: If you want I'll open the next scene...unless there is more discussion to be had here? )
Acaed 07-04-03, 09:31 PM	((You may open up the next scene.))
Traveler 07-12-03, 11:51 PM	They step through the portal into brilliant sunlight.... She is covered from head to toe in robes cloak and hood of fine dark grey blues silks. She wears both leather gloves and soft leather boots, that make a soft crunching sound in the dewy grass beneath her feet. There also seem to be lingering shadows about her...clinging to her... She hold his arm as they leave the portal behind, and walk along a cliffs edge down into a meadow....Will lives there. (OOC: I will let you describe him...and add anything you like to the scene...heh now you should know what the place looks like! ;) )
Acaed 07-14-03, 10:20 PM	Acaed is dressed in a tunic of a brilliant midnight blue, setting off the hue of his eyes. His trousers are velvet, made of the same midnight blue material. He walks with Alighan.
Traveler 07-19-03, 10:30 PM	There is a house at the far edge of the meadow below. It is a stone house, two stories tall and sprawling. The windows are dark at this morning hour, but smoke whisps from the chimney. The front door bangs open suddenly and a small figure (without a coat over his tunic even in this cold! ;) ) comes sprinting toward them. Kent!... His dark hair, thin and straight ruffling itself as he ran. His freckled face beamed. His blue eyes sparkled. He did not speak but wrapped his arms around his mother who was already kneeling and then returning his embrace. She closed her eyes...my son
Acaed 07-21-03, 10:32 PM	Acaed looks at Ken. He looks just like his mother...
Traveler 07-26-03, 11:19 PM	Alighan smiled as her son pulled away and followed his gaze as he looked to Acaed. Kent looked up at Acaed. "Welcome," he said.
Acaed 07-27-03, 12:02 AM	"Hi." Acaed bowed.
Traveler 07-27-03, 01:34 AM	Kent beamed at them both. He put his left hand in his mother's, and reached for Acaed's with his right.
Acaed 07-28-03, 09:42 AM	Acaed lets his hand be taken. He smiles.
Traveler 08-03-03, 09:57 PM	"Confound it boy...!" A harsh woman's voice, raised in anger, reached them from within. Kent grasped Alighan's hand a little tighter. "When will you quit..." The door banged open and a woman walked out onto the grass beyond. She was as tall as Acaed. Everything about her was large. She had long blond hair, braided only in the front and she was dressed in a tunic and breeches. Her wide face red, flushed and scowling. She caught sight of Kent, Alighan and Acaed and abruptly cut off her own tirade. She tried to put on a pleasant expression but simply could not succeed. "Hello Pandra," Alighan said kindly. "We came back to talk to..." Pandra opened her mouth to ask "who's he?" but before she could get out a sound, she was practaically bowled over by two strapping young men who came barreling out of the door behind her. One was jsut Acaed's hight and very stocky. He was a bull of a man, thick reddish hair hanging past his shoulders, wearing a broad smile. The second man stood nearly a foot taller. His hair was the same shade of blond as the woman's, and hung down to his waist. He was thin and wiry, but he bore an identical smile to the first man. Inspite of their physical differences they were quite obviously brothers. "Hah, there you go, mum., Kent is right again!" The stocky one shouted. "Hello Ali! WElcome back!"
Acaed 08-03-03, 10:12 PM	Acaed stands aside for the two men to get at Ali.
Traveler 08-03-03, 11:28 PM	Alighan gets throughly hugged by her nephews. "Hello again, Anion and Garret, you'd think it had been over a week since you'd seen me last." "Hey," Garret said. "We are still reeling from the time before that." She gave her nephew's another fond hug. After that they turned to Acaed. "Welocme back to you too..." Anion said a little nervously.
Acaed 08-04-03, 05:30 PM	Acaed bows to Anion and Garret. "Greetings, young masters."
Traveler 08-04-03, 06:20 PM	The brothers, first Garret, then Anion, bow their heads politely. "Well don't all stand out there!" Pandra grouches. Her expression immeadiately softens as much as it can. "Please come in." She opens the door wide, though she still cannot quite hide her long suffering expression.
Acaed 08-04-03, 06:24 PM	Acaed hangs back, and after everyone but Pandra heads inside, he heads inside himself, and mutters 'Peace be to you...' and he slips her a small bag in passing.
Traveler 08-04-03, 06:51 PM	A look of pure fury comes to Pandra's face. She grips the pouch tightly...too tightly and storms out of her house, slamming the door behind her. "Never mind!" Will himself is standign at the other side of what is obviously a sitting room. It is a large room, vith a very high ceiling. There is a fire pit in it's center. To one side of the fire place is a low settee, a long table before it. There are two grandly carved chairs about a small table behind the fire. On teh other side, is three rugs...cushions scattered atop them. Beyond the rugs, there is a step up inteh floor and the wall is lined with bookshelves. there are two doorways in that wall. One door is closed. The otehr is the edge of a deep dark stairwell. On the otehr side of the room, beyond the sette...is a wooden staricase leading up to a balcony, off that more doors. There is one clsoed door in the staircase itself and another in front of it. Before them, beyond the chairs and table is a hallway, with a stone floor. Will moves from the edge of the hallway toward them, his black mage robes hanging limp about him. His hair is black and while short gives hima very shaggy appearance. He is in his middle years, his face lined and worn looking, and remarkably liek Alighan's. He is no more than an inch taller than she. Silver grey eyes smile lovingly at eh sister he thought he had lost forever. "Don't worry about Pandra, she'll be back. Good to see you Ali!" He is drying his hands on a towel as he walks. That is when Anion and Garret move out of the way, letting him see Acaed for the first time. His expression grows grim. "Hello."
Acaed 08-04-03, 07:09 PM	Acaed politely walks up to Will, and slugs him. He then turns to Anion and Garret. "Stop that right now. You too, Will. I have, and never will, fault you for disbelieveing me." Acaed looks slightly disgusted.
Traveler 08-04-03, 07:18 PM	Will simply nods. "There were dark days...but they are over now. Please. Sit down. Make yourselves comfortable." He turns to Kent. "Well you were right again my boy!" Kent beams. Will smiles at his brother in law. "Would that we all had Kent's foresight..."
Acaed 08-04-03, 07:22 PM	Acaed smiles back, and sits. "Not his foresight...his trust, perhaps." Acaed, in turn, smiles at Kent, and ruffles the boy's hair affectionately.
Traveler 08-05-03, 06:22 PM	Will pales a little, but his smile holds as he sits at one of the chairs at the table behind the fire. Alighan sits on the settee beside Acaed. Kent climbs up beside her. Garret takes the chair across from his father, and Anion stretches out onthe floor rugs, pushing a pillow under his side for support. "Yes. The boy is wise." He grinned at Kent. "He knew you were coming here today."
Acaed 08-05-03, 06:28 PM	"Figured he would." Acaed replied, smiling also. "He just has that uncanny sense about him..."
Traveler 08-06-03, 01:51 AM	Alighan smiled at her son beside her. She reached out and gave his shoulder an affectionate squeeze. Not so uncanny... He looked up at her. "I knew you werre coming today...but...is there something wrong?" She didn't even blink at the quick progression of his thoughts. "A little bit, Kent, yes. I will have to talk to your father a little later." This she said while shooting a glance at Will. "You sound like you feel better," Garret spoke up, a smile in his voice. Alighan nodded and then smiled at Acaed. She looked back at the rest of her family. "Now...that is Acaed's fault."
Acaed 08-07-03, 12:19 PM	"I had nothing to do with it! It was all her!" Acaed grinned.
Traveler 08-07-03, 05:57 PM	"I didn't do this, " Alighan says removing her hood, and showing off her lack of scars. "He did. He sasy my voice will get better too."
Acaed 08-07-03, 10:44 PM	At the look from Will, Acaed smiled a little smile. "I learned a little healing magic while I was hunted."
Traveler 08-15-03, 06:52 PM	Will nods. "Thank you." As he speaks, a young woman emerges from one of the stairwells. She is an inch or two shorter than Alighan. Her hair, black like her father's is cut short and hangs close to the sides of her head and face. "Ali!" She beams, running into the room. "Welcome back!" Catching sight of Acaed, she pauses, looking very uncertain. "Ah, Catira." Will gestures to his daugter. " I had wondered when you'd join us."
Acaed 08-16-03, 10:34 AM	Acaed is silent.
Traveler 08-17-03, 11:39 PM	Catira takes another two tentative steps forward and then smiles. "Hello, Acaed."
Acaed 08-18-03, 10:43 AM	"Hello, Catira." He smiles.
Traveler 08-18-03, 10:57 AM	More uncertainly still, she takes a seat near her brothers. "Where's Mother?" Will smiled. "She's taking a walk....Alighan and Acaed just got here. " Catira smiled. "Kent called it. Ali, is something the matter?" Alighan sighed. "Yes. And yes, that is what has me back here so quickly. I..." "See you later auntie!" Kent shouted brightly getting up of the couch. "Cat, will you come help me with my translation?" "Sure, honey," Catira said, getting back up. She led Kent out ofhte room. Anion stretched and picked himself up. "I want to go look for mother. Want to make it into a deer hunt Garret?" "Sure," Garret said. "I'll go get my bow." The two men left out a side door. Will was smiling. "Such perceprive children I have."
Acaed 08-18-03, 11:05 AM	Acaed just smiles at the children's antics. "Yes, you do."
Traveler 08-18-03, 11:09 AM	Will turned to Alighan. "So Ali," he spoke common for Acaed's benefit. "What gives." "The mark." Was all she said. "Did something happen?!" Will exclaimed.
Acaed 08-18-03, 11:35 AM	Acaed nods, and cuts in: "Yeah, she was almost killed by it. And I was helpless."
Traveler 08-18-03, 11:40 AM	Will looks at Acaed sharply. "Is that so..."
Acaed 08-18-03, 11:45 AM	"My psionics couldn't help much. At all, in fact." He looks at Alighan to continue.
Traveler 08-18-03, 11:52 AM	"Really." Will went on cooly. "Or was this another one of your too involved to think moments?" "Will!" Alighan hissed.
Acaed 08-18-03, 11:59 AM	Acaed gazes back ay Will, just as frostily. "Yes, in fact, it was. What would you do if you thought your wife was dying before your eyes, and she was magically-blind and deaf? Hmm? What if what you had learned and known throughout your entire life was not enough to save someone that you had just thought dead, not mere days before?" His voice did not raise at all during this, it staying level and quite frosty...
Traveler 08-18-03, 12:06 PM	Will's silver eyes held years of pent up anger. "I can't say as I have."
Acaed 08-18-03, 12:12 PM	<TP to Will~ And if you'd like to fight me, although I would hazard against it, I'll take you on any time, day or night.> Acaed simply smiles at Will.
Traveler 08-18-03, 12:14 PM	"Oh...classic....making threats when you are cornered." Will sneered.
Acaed 08-18-03, 12:19 PM	"Threat? You take my speech and my smile to be a theat?" Acaed turns to Alighan: "Did you hear a threat? I did not...However, it seems as if Will cannot stand to be wrong about another thing, after being so grieveoulsy wrong about my involvement in your 'death'...Good thing we all have Kent here, hmm?" Acaed smiles again.
Traveler 08-18-03, 12:28 PM	Alighan sighed. She knew full well that there had been a threat...but Will was being incredibly unfair. She got to her feet. "Will! If you must channel your anger, channel it at Ajax! He is is the one who still holds my life in his hands and he is slowly closing his fist!" Her still ruined voice was terrible to hear. She coughed violently.
Acaed 08-18-03, 03:58 PM	Acaed stands as well. "If there must be anger between us, Will, I would much prefer it be after we both annihilate Ajax."
Traveler 08-18-03, 04:31 PM	Will lets out his breath in a gusty sigh, putting his face in his his hands. "You're right." He said lowly. "You are both right. I am sorry."
Acaed 08-18-03, 05:05 PM	"No need to be. Why take out yor anger on me when you can on Ajax?" Acaed smiles.
Traveler 08-19-03, 09:31 PM	Will looks over at them both and nods. "Let me see the mark."
Acaed 08-20-03, 11:18 PM	Acaed sits down, letting his wife's brother take over.
Traveler 08-21-03, 04:45 PM	Alighan lets will examine the mark on her chest. Will is silent for a long time. "It still burns, doesn't it?" He speaks finally. "Yes," Alighan said softly. "It does."
Acaed 08-27-03, 08:22 AM	Acaed is silent.
Traveler 08-27-03, 09:22 AM	Alighan looks very grim. "How long?" Will looked at her, also very grim, and in his eyes a profound sadness. "Unchecked....Not more than a month."
Acaed 08-27-03, 03:52 PM	Acaed snorts. "Sounds like my condition." He stands, ever the man of action: "Will, are you free for a few hours? We shant take much longer than that..."
Traveler 08-29-03, 01:58 AM	Will looked over at his brother in law. "What?"
Acaed 08-29-03, 08:23 AM	"Will, can I talk to you in private?" Acaed looks meaningly at Alighan as he says this.
Traveler 08-31-03, 09:28 AM	Will looked away from Acaed to Alighan, with a slightly puzzled expression. Alighan looked just as puzzled. Silent communication passed between brother and sister. "Ah...sure, Acaed." Will said standing up. Just then the front door banged open. "Good even, " Pandra hissed without really meaning to. Anion and Garret followed her inside. Pandra stalked off to the kitchen area.
Acaed 09-22-03, 05:23 PM	"Will?" Acaed repeats, to make sure he heard.
Traveler 09-24-03, 07:47 PM	Will sighed again and beckoned Acaed to follow him to an adjoining room. This room was a study. There was oaken desk and two tall backed wooden chairs. Books lined the walls. Will sat in one of the chairs and gestured Acaed to sit in the other one. "Yes?"
Acaed 09-25-03, 11:46 AM	"Tell me what you know of Ajax--Can he be completely destroyed?" Acaed sits down.
Acaed 10-03-03, 08:59 AM	"Well, can he?" Acaed looks at Will.
Acaed 10-08-03, 12:01 PM	*cough*
Traveler 10-08-03, 12:09 PM	"Why are you asking me this?" Will frowns. "I am perhaps an expert practitioner of the arcane arts, but the underworld? The Realm of the Dead is far from well known to me. Alighan knows more than I do."
Acaed 10-08-03, 04:33 PM	"I know. And I will ask Alighan, but...you know as well as I do she cannot confront Ajax with me, or even us. So, I ask you, what is there to do about this?"
Traveler 10-08-03, 04:48 PM	Will is laughing before Acaed even finishes his sentance. "She can't?" He laughs a little more. "Acaed, she can and she will. You think she came here to complain to me? No. She came here to use my library, so she can go face Ajax armed."
Acaed 10-09-03, 11:41 AM	"You would allow her to go to the one place where she can be destroyed? I thought better of you, Will. And, I thought she came here to find out if there was anything else to be done about that mark..." Acaed seems angry. This is his wife's life they're talking about, and Will has the nerve to laugh...
Traveler 10-09-03, 12:48 PM	Will sighs. "She came to me for aid, and I will give it. But aid does not mean doing things for her. No one can take her place in this. That would be foolhardy at best, serving only to make things worse."
Acaed 10-09-03, 04:20 PM	Acaed muses. "Indeed. Wellm then...I think that's everything. Where is the library?"
Traveler 10-10-03, 03:19 PM	"You are sitting in it." Will said, a little impatiently gestureing to the book shelves lining the walls. "Now are you quite finished throwing your anger around? Your wife awaits you outside and you owe her an apology for this bit of idiocy."
Acaed 10-11-03, 05:10 PM	"Oh, of course," says Acaed, smiling, an odd comeback to Will's thinly-veiled insult. He stands, and goes out of the library.
Traveler 10-13-03, 12:41 PM	Will sighs. *** Alighan is sitting on the couch in deep council with Garret and Catira. Their voices are low but not inaudible, though they speak a language unknown to Acaed.
Acaed 10-15-03, 04:43 PM	*Cough* Acaed coughs lightly.
Traveler 10-16-03, 02:28 PM	Alighan looks up. "Time to talk?"
Acaed 10-16-03, 03:57 PM	"Yeah," replied Acaed, striding fully into the room. "Time to talk business."
Traveler 10-16-03, 05:05 PM	She stands. "So let us talk." Taking Acaed's arm she begins to steer him toward the front door. "We are going for a little walk. We will be back for dinner."
Acaed 10-18-03, 04:07 PM	Acaed is lead outside, walking.
Traveler 10-20-03, 12:30 PM	"Are you going to tell me what that was all about?" She concealed a grin as they walked.
Acaed 10-21-03, 04:28 PM	"No." Acaed obviously isn't in as good a mood as she is.
Traveler 10-22-03, 05:33 PM	"Awful as usual was he?" She actually smiles this time. "Charm was never my brother's strong suit. Let me guess...he decided he was grumpy at you just for wanting a private word, and then took every opportunity to contradict you as rudely as possible."
Acaed 10-22-03, 05:40 PM	"Yeah, that was about it." He sticks his hands in his pockets and looks up at the sky as they walk. "So, what're we going to about this, eh?"
Traveler 10-23-03, 05:52 PM	"Well we are going to learn what we can of Ajax's office, and then keep our actions hidden...." She looks at Acaed. "We can do this."
Acaed 10-24-03, 12:03 PM	His mood lightens some with her reassurance. He gives her a kiss. "It's not a question of can, it's something that has to be done."
Traveler 10-24-03, 04:11 PM	She raises an eyebrow at him and then smiles. "No dark thoughts hmm?" She leans up and kisses him again. "We will start in the library this very night."
Acaed 10-25-03, 05:53 PM	"Okay."
Traveler 10-26-03, 04:55 PM	She frowns suddenly, wincing.
Acaed 10-28-03, 04:04 PM	He stops walking. "What's wrong?" he says with concern in his voice.
Traveler 10-28-03, 10:55 PM	She shakes her head, her breath quickening. "We have to work fast...though right now I just need to...sit...down." She swoons.
Acaed 10-29-03, 05:56 PM	Acaed catches her. Without saying a word, he lifts her up in his arms and carries her back towards the house...
Traveler 10-29-03, 11:39 PM	She feels Acaed's arms surround her, warm and safe.... She cuddled closer to him as he held her as if cold, only half conscious. Her skin is beginning to feel warm to the touch...
Acaed 10-31-03, 11:52 AM	"You must be getting a fever..." Instead of heading for the house, he heads for a small glade he knows is near Will's house, in the forest. ((Cough*justgowithit*Cough)) Acaed lays her down on a bed of moss, right near to a small brook. He takes a cloth from his satchel, and soaks it in the ice-cold brook water.
Traveler 11-01-03, 11:09 PM	She feels herself being layed down upon something soft. She shivers. She tries to speak, but only manages a soft moan...her thoughts scatter.... Ajax...NO!!!!!!!!
Acaed 11-02-03, 05:18 PM	Acaed senses something amiss, and hesitates to put the cloth on her forehead. He sees her sort-of spasm, and in an instant, he pushes her to the edge of the brook, and dunks her head under the ice-cold water, then gently pulls her up and lays her back down on the moss. ((Quite a shock, I'd say...))
Traveler 11-02-03, 07:47 PM	laughter....hideous sick laughter.... reaching...burning...closing in.... ...and suddenly she is free. Coughing and spluttering she relaxes on the moss, her coughs slowly turning to relieved sobs.
Acaed 11-03-03, 08:47 AM	Acaed smiles. "Figured that'd work." He cradles her head in his lap, and holds her hand. "Alighan?"
Traveler 11-03-03, 07:57 PM	She clasps his hand tightly in her own. "Shock yes....broke his hold," she breathes.
Joas Rupha 11-04-03, 08:41 AM	((I just wanted to leave a little note saying how neat this thread is. I read it on the old boards, and it's getting even better! Acaed and Alighan, you two are great RP'ers!))
Acaed 11-04-03, 08:45 AM	((Well, thank you, Joas! Glad to hear you're a fan.)) "So it was Ajax again..." He grins, obviously trying very hard to make her feel better. "Shall I dunk you again?"
Traveler 11-04-03, 01:34 PM	She shakes her head, closing her eyes. "No. He is gone." She opens her eyes again. "For the moment." She shivers.
Acaed 11-05-03, 08:32 AM	"Good." He lifts her up gently, and hugs her. He knows what she's going through, he went through it himself for many years...
Traveler 11-05-03, 09:52 AM	"Let's go back. I need a warm fire and some good hot tea." She smiled weakly.
Acaed 11-05-03, 11:44 AM	"Can you walk, or should I carry you?" He smiles.
Traveler 11-05-03, 11:53 AM	She puts her arms around him and smiles up at him in answer.
Acaed 11-05-03, 11:55 AM	"Oh, so you can walk, then, eh?" He laughs and picks her up, carrying her back towards Will's house.
Traveler 11-05-03, 11:57 AM	She leans against him. "Go in the back way, Will will make a fuss," she says against his shirt. She looks up. "Maybe I will skip dinner and go right to the library..."she thinks out loud.
Acaed 11-05-03, 12:03 PM	"Here's a better question: Will I let you skip dinner?" He says as he heads around back. "And I can tell you the answer: No." He smiles, something he seems to be doing a lot of lately.
Traveler 11-05-03, 12:11 PM	As they near the house, they hear shouting... "...told you! Never be late! Never! It is rude!" Pandra was yelling. "But mother had I left the components in play with out completing the form..." That was Kent's voice. "No excuses! When I say come..." "Pandra..." Will's calm voice interjected. Alighan looks at Acaed. "I have an ever better idea. How about we both go steal a little food and take our meal in the library?"
Acaed 11-05-03, 05:54 PM	Acaed nodded in agreement. "All right, direct me to the kitchen!" He whispered with another of those beginning to be ever present grins.
Traveler 11-07-03, 11:26 AM	A little while later, they sit in the library with their meal. Alighan looks slightly troubled as they eat.
Acaed 11-07-03, 11:22 PM	"Are you concerned about Will and Pandra fighting?" Acaed inquires.
Traveler 11-08-03, 07:35 PM	"As a matter of fact it does," Alighan says after swallowing her mouthful of bread. "Though more for Kent's sake I admit."
Acaed 11-09-03, 12:19 AM	"I trust him. Will will defend him, and Pandrw can't hurt him. He's a good boy, he won;t blow up and attack Pandra, either..." He pauses to chew thoughtfully. "Or, that isnt what you mean..."
Traveler 11-09-03, 12:28 AM	She sighs. "No that isn't what I meant. I don't think it is right that a child should have to live with such..."
Acaed 11-09-03, 11:16 AM	"...yeah, I agree," replied Acaed. "But is there anything we can do about it?"
Traveler 11-10-03, 11:13 AM	"I am not sure...what my place is in this is slightly...tricky."
Acaed 11-10-03, 11:53 AM	Acaed nods. "I know what you mean. And...I think that you may actually have no place in it. He may be your son by birth...but you didn't raise him..." Acaed looks sad.
Traveler 11-10-03, 11:55 AM	"I am going to say it is always a mother place no matter what...moreso in this case as Kent knows..."
Acaed 11-10-03, 11:58 AM	Acaed looks really sad, now. "You're not his mother."
Traveler 11-10-03, 12:01 PM	"That is just the problem, Acaed. In theory you are correct, but this time it just isn't so. Kent always knew. He knows I know he knows. We keep up a fiction for Pandra, even though she probably knows too. The truth of the matter is...I...have had more of a hand in his upbringing than anyone other than he and I are aware of and it shows. Pandra can't stand that."
Acaed 11-10-03, 05:38 PM	((Um, Trav? I'm confused now, then...I thought all ALighan did was leave Ken with Pandra...maybe I was wrong?)) POST WITHHELD UNTIL ISSUES ARE RESOLVED, Lol.
Traveler 11-10-03, 05:42 PM	(OOC: lol, indeed. ;) Anyway you are right yout were not aware of any of this and so niether was Acaed. Alighan never told anyone before this point.)
Acaed 11-11-03, 08:21 AM	"Is that so? I've never heard of this before..." Acaed raises a cup of hot cider to his mouths and sips it thoughtfully. "Why haven't you mentioned this before?"
Traveler 11-11-03, 12:04 PM	"Well...in the two years you and I were together before my banishment. You never liked to talk about Kent much, so I didn't say much." She took a sip of her own cider and looked at her husband over the mug's rim. "Kent is a bit of a seer and soothsayer. He has always known I am his mother, just as he knew I still lived these last years, and he has always treated me accordingly. Whether or not I deserve it after leaving him with Will. "He has corresponded with me closely from a very young age. I may not have been here physically all the time during his early childhood, but I haven't missed much. All his milestones, hopes and aspirations he has told me and when he has a problem it is I and sometimes Will to whom he turns. Never Pandra. "That is not how any of us planned it, that is simply how it is."
Acaed 11-11-03, 12:08 PM	"It is a tricky situation...and you still didn't answer my question. That's not important. How old is Kent now?"
Traveler 11-11-03, 12:11 PM	"I did answer your question, but I will say it again. I never told you because you didn't want to know. It is that simple," she said her voice quiet and sad. "Kent is 11 years old now."

Traveler 11-12-03, 11:32 AM	(OOC: of course you should edit >.<)
Acaed 11-12-03, 12:03 PM	"11? Why not take him with us after this business is all over?" He sips cider.
Traveler 11-15-03, 08:06 PM	"You....mean that?"
Acaed 11-15-03, 08:43 PM	"Sure, why not?" Acaec grins. "I was eleven when I escaped from the Everdark, remember? And, I even had my memory erased. He's the same age I was, and even has the benefit of past memories. You could train him more personally than he has been getting, and I can teach him the way of the warrior. I don't want any son of mine to be just a mage; he needs to be well rounded." ((OOC Note: Acaed puts special emphasis on 'son'.))
Traveler 11-15-03, 09:06 PM	Alighan beams.
Acaed 11-16-03, 04:58 PM	"Well, what do you think?" asks Acaed with a smile to match her beam.
Acaed 11-18-03, 12:24 PM	"Well?" Acaed repeats.
Acaed 11-20-03, 12:18 PM	((Acaed rots into a skeleton, and turns into dust, a collapsed pile of ash and bits of bone...waiting, waiting... lol))
Traveler 11-23-03, 08:11 PM	(OOC:If you don't see me post for a couple of days, email me! :) There is usually a darn good reason for it and I will happy to explain it to you there. ) "That would be wonderful..." She rose up in her seat and put her arms around his shoulders.
Acaed 11-25-03, 08:53 AM	Acaed leans down and kisses her. "I thought it was a good idea...I've been meaning to ask you."
Traveler 11-25-03, 12:53 PM	She rests her head on his shoulder, smiling... (OOC: Hmm...we need to talk first about what happens next)
Acaed 12-01-03, 08:42 AM	((Drop me an email, then... :) ))
