Loveah Grinarium 11-03-03, 07:40 PM	~~~~~~~~~~ ooc: As I promised here is a chat for the characters to go and do their own thing while waiting for another post in the main thread or for players to chat in OOC :) ~~~~~~~~~~
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 08:57 AM	While flying on Caeruleus's back she takes the opportunity to try to concentrate on meditating again as she knew her full power wasn't back yet.
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 08:59 AM	*And sanctus, of course, leaves her alone, though smiling to her turned back*
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 09:01 AM	She stops meditating, "Sanctus?" She does not seem to turn around but to continue facing her current direction as she says his name.
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 09:05 AM	"Yes, Dear? I thought you was meditating?"
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 09:08 AM	"I was, but I can't concentrate right now anymore, to many distractions." She leans gently back against Sanctus, letting her back rest against his chest. "Do you think when this quest is over that we should tell everyone back in the inn about us, or d you think it wise to not say anything just yet?"
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 09:12 AM	"I think they already have a pretty good idea around now.. At least, Kulideb, is a smart girl. She probably have her suspicions... And it ain't easy to hide anything from Agudo. But its your choice, if we shall wait, we shall wait, but I hope we don't have to spread any lies.."
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 09:15 AM	"No I would rather not tell any more lies then I have already. I still feel bad about hiding that from all of you and even more still how the battle went. I should have fought back! I was to distracted by other things around me, if I wasn't I would have never been put under his spells!" Her voice now sounded angry and hurt at the same time.
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 09:18 AM	"Don't worry, love.. It's... Past."
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 09:24 AM	She nods, "I know, but it is forever going to be etched in my memory whether I like it or not and I am always going to blame myself...." She lets her voice trail off for a minute then she lets out a soft sigh. "I must not dwell in the past anymore for it does no good." She grows silent for a minute, then starts talking again. "So what do you think of the quest so far, think this will be just as hard as the other?"
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 09:27 AM	"Don't blame yourself.. You were afraid and with good reason. An unknown being was after you and you were to be protected by a bunch of strangers? It took you off guard with powers beyond any of the ones present? Nobody could possibly blame you.. We all helped because we wanted too, not because we trusted that it was an easy task," "I expect this to be harder, even, why should this dragon call for help if she couldnt just wipe then out alone?"
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 09:31 AM	Again she nods, "Yes how silly of me to have let that slip my mind. I only hope we are more prepared and also hope it won't take long for us to find them. My powers are powerful but like magic can only last for a certain amount of time. Being as I am already a bit weak, I will eventually have to trust my bit of fighting skills."
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 09:33 AM	"Embarrassing as it is, I would take much pleasure in burrying my sword in a mind-flayers chest. I know, I am a white mage and should'nt think this, but my past shines through occasionally* *He smiles again, but a distant one, reliving memories*
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 09:36 AM	She looks up at him, "You know I have shared a bit of my past with you, how about you share some of yours with me? I would love to hear it!"
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 09:37 AM	"I... It's a story that should be told at a more pleasant place, without the pressure of nearing danger.. It's a long tale and not a happy one..."
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 09:44 AM	She smiles, "Alright, I will remember to ask you again when we finish this quest. You know many tales of a being's life isn't always happy, mine isn't. I mean I have happy moments and occassions but not everything that has happened to me has been happy. I mean try living up to the great and powerful standard and then being their hero ontop of that. It is much more pressure than one can realize..." She stops herself and laughs a bit, "Sorry I tend to ramble on sometimes."
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 09:55 AM	"Its one of the reasons that I love you, my dear," *He kisses her on the neck and folds his arms around her belly, in a loving hug* "I am Cha'kohkev. A goddess of immense power cursed me for actions against her, dooming me to eternal life of pain. I can die, yes, but will always live again. Every time reborn, she placed me in a new form, each one worse than the last. One thing was in common with each formes, though, it was always one evil by nature. I would have my memories, but always, evil would be fighting in my unconsciousness and winning repeatedly. As a drow, I was forced to evil, killing and murdering without mercy. As drider, I didn't even regocnize the act of killing as anything but normal. As black dragon, my power rushed through me and brought me to insanity. As human, I was so easy forged to evil and learned the skills of a black mage.. Many other forms I have possessed, many other have I killed.... I regret this, and I know you will find me disgusting, for murder is a sin I have commited repeatedly.. However, here a few months ago, Agudo helped me to the light side and taught me white magic.. He have hidden me from my unescapable destiny, but I fear, that it will change when I die the next time... Anyhow, he saved me, and that is why I respect him so" *The voice sounds in Loveah's mind, probably to hide the story from the keen ears of the dragon*
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 10:00 AM	She intently listens to his story then speaks into his mind, "I am sorry that such a fate has been lined up for you. Is that why you were so unhesitant to place that protection spell on me and not worry of death? A question comes to mind though. If you keep getting brought back, each time worse than the last then won't you eventually be nothingness?"
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 10:01 AM	"I can only hope," *He smiles*
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 10:05 AM	She seen his smile and shivered for it would seem to her that no one would enjoy becoming nothingness. She grew quiet.
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 10:10 AM	"I am sorry if I scare you.. I have just been so long time without happiness, nothing is tempting. But now, that I have found you, I would rather live with you forever,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 10:12 AM	She smiles at his words, hugs him warmly, then whispers into his ear, "I think it best if we talk of this later when we have more time." She kisses his cheek and grins.
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 10:30 AM	"I am happy that I brought you happiness and I hope that I will continue to have that affect on you. You as well bring me happiness, but also you make me feel like I am not weird or hated. I am glad I don't feel the hatred from others anymore."
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 10:42 AM	"I know you will always be the light in my life, lighting my path comfortably always and shining brightly in times of darkness. I hope I will always bring happiness to you, for it is what I want to the most.."
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 10:45 AM	She smiles, "I think you will have no problem doing that as you seem to keep me so happy already."
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 10:49 AM	*Sanctus smiles and kisses her softly on her lips. His expression turns sad as he backs away and turns around* "I.. I wan't to see you again.. With my eyes, I mean.."
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 10:52 AM	She gently grabs his hand, "I am sorry that had to happen Sanctus, I wish there was something I could do to help. I would do anything to be able to help you see again."
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 10:58 AM	*He turns around and faces her* "I know... I just miss those sparkling eyes of yours... But, someday, I will find a cure. Anything, even if I have to fight that evil goddess in all her might!" *The words are rather dreamily, but it seems to bring him some comfort, along with the fact that he haves her*
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 11:03 AM	"You can always remember me from your memories right? I wish you'd take my offer on giving you some sight. It is just a power and nothing else, but I know you do not want me to." She tries to keep her voice from sounding sad as the subject cuts deeply within her heart, for she truely wishes there was something she could do to help.
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 11:08 AM	"I don't think it will help.. She have not only removed my eyes, she have removed my ability to see, magical or not.. Every second, the reminiscences of sight dissapears and I forget how thing looks.. I can barely decide the form of my blade without feeling it.. I can't remember the colors of my eyes! But I hold on to the memory of you, I will not loose it! It gets harder every day..."
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 11:11 AM	His words bring her to tears, another rare thing for her as she normally does not let others be around her when she cries. "I should have refused your help on the quest Sanctus....." She walks away from him and to the nearest wall, she leans her back against it and slides down til she is sitting on the ground. When she sits she brings her knees up, and wraps her arms around them. "I am so sorry Sanctus."
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 11:14 AM	*He walks over to her and sits down besides her, giving her a hug* "It is not your fault... I was foolish not you.. I approached danger and took the consequenses... The minute I declared you enemies my enemies - of own free will - I entered danger myself.. It can never be your fault. It is not you fault..."
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 11:19 AM	She returns his hug and doesn't let go, crying on his shoulder. "I can only hope we have learned from that fight as to avoid that again." She slightly chuckles, "Who would think an amethyst dragon would cry?" She sits up, "Sanctus, lets put the fight behind us and only look forward, not backward. If we continue to do so then we will be nothing more than nervous wrecks."
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 11:23 AM	"Yes, lets look forward only, for the past haven't been good to either of us.. "
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 11:26 AM	She wipes her cheeks with a smile, "Good! Then that settles that! Now, is there anything else we can do to prepare for our next battle?"
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 11:31 AM	"I don't know... I don't have any more psycial protection.."
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 11:34 AM	She nods, "Making your skin into the iron and giving you a type of mind shielding is all I can do for you, as for myself.... well, um as far as my invisibility go and my mind shields I can't do much more. However, I may have to let my wings back out as the battle begins so I can be much quicker in battle."
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 11:37 AM	"Speed.. I can grant speed, but only for a half hour or so.. Should probably wait with that. I have magical wings aswell, but they dont they just make my movement clumsy, though, granting me with the power of flying. Levitate should be used only in combat too... I dont think I have anything of use, that can be cast now"
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 11:41 AM	She nods, "Then I guess we have done all we've possibly are able to do for the moment. However, I am still in a lack of rest and mediation both. My powers have dwindled down so I wish I could just... well, hmm.. I could do that but... no..I don't want to." ~~~~~~~~~~ ooc: Sorry to end it like this but I gotta get going! ;) Bye! ~~~~~~~~~~
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 11:44 AM	"Don't want to.. what?" See you, later!
Loveah Grinarium 11-04-03, 12:03 PM	"I..um..I shouldn't have brought it up, I'm sorry."
Opaque Divinity 11-04-03, 12:18 PM	"Okay.." *He frowns but smiles again, letting her forget what she wanted to forget*
Loveah Grinarium 11-05-03, 12:49 PM	As he strokes her hair she does not stir for it normally takes more than that to wake her. While she sleeps she ocassionally mumbles something inaudible, but the tone of her voice shows sounds like she is afraid of something within the walls of her dreams.
Opaque Divinity 11-05-03, 01:18 PM	*Quite nervous with her stirring movements, he quesses that it is probably just her dreams. He does hate to see her afraid, though, and is split between waking her and letting her have her restful sleep. He strokes her hair again and wishes her only good dreams*
Loveah Grinarium 11-05-03, 01:23 PM	She continues to mumble for a little longer and as she stops her last word is "Sanctus." She goes back to her peaceful sleep or what seems to be peaceful slumber.
Opaque Divinity 11-05-03, 01:29 PM	*Sanctus is almost tempted to sleep again, as he hears her calm breath. However, his soul don't need any rest and his body was never wearied. His magical powers replenishs slowly, without meditation or sleeping. Keeping up to his promise of keeping 'watch' he sits dead still, sensing everything in the carven.
Loveah Grinarium 11-05-03, 01:34 PM	After another hour passes she starts moving. She stretches and her wings fold out, and they hit Sanctus. She felt it hit him, and says a little sheepishly, "Sorry about that Sanctus."
Opaque Divinity 11-05-03, 01:41 PM	*Nearly tipped over by the force of the wing, it takes a few seconds for Sanctus to retrieve balance. He chuckles and strokes the scaled wing,* "No problem, dear. It's good to know that you are still alive. I mean, you have slept so silently," *He smiles*
Loveah Grinarium 11-05-03, 01:46 PM	She smiles, "Thank you for watching..er..guarding me while I slept. But I guess I didn't really have much to worry about seeing how there is a full dragon here too. However, I will have to cast those things on you soon as by the time we get there now it will wear off. Or perhaps do you think it wise to renew them now?"
Opaque Divinity 11-05-03, 01:49 PM	"If you think you can get more sleep tonight,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-05-03, 01:53 PM	"I don't think I could rest again, but meditation would work just the same, only take longer which we have all the time we need right now." She smiles grows quiet for a few minutes as she renews what she has done to Sanctus. "There, its done. I'll go ahead and meditate for I don't want to still be meditating when Caeruleus wakes and hold us up." She sits up straight, places her palms on her knees and her breathing can be barely heard.
Opaque Divinity 11-05-03, 02:00 PM	*Sanctus simply stare blindly in to the darkness, reliving old reminiscences of death and horror. His mind is burdened by the guilt and hatred for himself, and the cold darkness always around only makes it weigh more. He have so much time to swell in the shades, that, he thinks, is a reflection of his own cold heart. With ragged breath and shaking movements, his fingers go down to the blade by his side. But he withdraws them; he have tried it so many times before and it only make his pain worse. He was cursed with eternal life, a blessing to others, perhaps, but to him it was purgatory, over and over again. If he could just forget, but that too, he was not allowed to do. His thoughts slither to Loveah, sitting next to him, and the blurred memory of her beauty returns to his mind and shatter the dark thoughts, as a candle in darkness. He smiles again and for the first time in decades, his heads tilt down and he fall into a peaceful sleep*
Loveah Grinarium 11-05-03, 02:10 PM	Being a psion and her mind now open to receive thoughts, sometimes when she didn't want them, Sanctus's cold thoughts pass through her mind. The weight of the thoughts nearly cause to her to fall over. She takes in a deep breath not wanting to scream from the pain of the as she knows he is peacefully sleeping.
Opaque Divinity 11-05-03, 02:19 PM	*Sanctus begins to stir and if Loveah's mind is still vulnerable, she would recieve a picture of a beautiful cavern, with a young couple standing next to each other. On a platform, she can see Sanctus in black robes, seemingly the priest. He holds a rather long speech, only a few words enters her mind though. 'Sorry', 'nessecary' and 'evil' being among them. A wicked smile widens of the black-robed Sanctus and he lifts his arm forward. Before the soon-to-be-married couple can react, beams of dark magic surges from Sanctus and towards them, in an explosive blast. They fall backwards, dead cold. Sanctus though have dissapeared to ashes from the powers unleashed, though, a mocking grin can be heard* *The vision stops and Sanctus stirs more furiously. He mumbles a few words* "... My friend...." *He then awakes, sweat pouring from his hair-line and down over his face. His ragged breath comes every half second. He is not aware that Loveah have seen it all and that she is awake.* "Not even in sleep, peace is granted to me.." *He lies down again and rests his head on the rocks*
Loveah Grinarium 11-05-03, 02:24 PM	From seeing his dream she is now on her hands and knees and her wings sticking straight up into the air. Her hands grip the dirt and she tries to regain control over her mind but the images...they continue to linger in her mind. She groans as she still fights for control, she was going to fight until she either grew to weak or the thoughts were gone from her mind.
Opaque Divinity 11-05-03, 02:26 PM	*He hears her moving around and her strained breath. Sanctus sits up and turn towards her. The blade moves from his sheath to his hand in a fluid movement and he whispers* "Everything alright?"
Loveah Grinarium 11-05-03, 02:31 PM	She even strains to speak, "My mind.... your thoughts..dreams....to much for me....can't make it stop...!"
Opaque Divinity 11-05-03, 02:36 PM	"My dreams? I.. You know?" *He sheaths his sword and walks a few steps to the cave wall and supports his head and right arm to it, trying to get control of the situation. As he sits down next to Loveah, it is with tears in his eyes* "I am so sorry.. He was... my best friend and her, his love.... I... There is no excuse for what I did, and when I did it, it was just a link in a bigger plan, were he didnt play a role.." *He realises that he is only making his own, and hers pain worse and thus sits all still. The tears ran unchecked as he tries to empty his mind from everything*
Loveah Grinarium 11-05-03, 03:22 PM	She nods, "I understand Sanctus, I think no different of you now then I did a few minutes ago. I do not care what you done in the past was bad as it now seems as though you are trying to make it up." She lets another groan out as she continues to fight in her mind. "I will always love you Sanctus, and never think of killing youself, please. I don't want you to do that. Everytime you get that thought in your mind I want you to think of me, so the thought will pass and you will think of it no more."
Opaque Divinity 11-05-03, 04:22 PM	"I.. Do not understand?" *Sanctus frowns and tries to look through the impenetrable darkness to look at her, to see if her face is showing a mocking grin. Kind treatment when mentioning his past have never been shown to him. People have met him with prejudice and hatred, sending him deeper into the darkness. But now this ray of sun had entered his life and he was not yet capable to grasp how lucky he is* "You.. Dont..?" *He smiles softly and the tears stop flowing* "I will never kill myself, for I have discovered that it have no point. Death will not release me. And I will think of you, not only when im sad, but every second alive aswell as death," *Sanctus lifts her head gently and kisses her. He knows that he have made a wise choice, for once*
Loveah Grinarium 11-05-03, 04:26 PM	She returns his kiss with much love. She gently pulls away and hugs him, "I am very happy Sanctus and I will always be as long as you are around. As you were thinking, no I did not mock you as I had said that. I could never mock you Sanctus. And if you want I'll stay out of your head." The last sentence was said with a soft chuckle.
Opaque Divinity 11-05-03, 04:31 PM	"Yes, I realized that you would never mock me.. I allow you to enter my mind whenever you feel like it, for I don't have any reminiscences worse than that memory of betrayal.. But if my dark memories brings you to such a state of illness, you should probably use your powers less frequently," *He hugs her with all his love and rocks her forward and backwards, slowly, to comfort her aswell as himself*
Loveah Grinarium 11-05-03, 04:34 PM	She smiles, "Sometimes I do not have control over what I can hear, it is one of my many flaws. Most of the time I am able to not hear anyone's but my own, however when there are times when I can hear others thoughts without knowing I am until it is to late. If there is an extreme emotion within those thoughts it hurts my mind as though having a very bad headache or having someone stick needles in my head."
Opaque Divinity 11-05-03, 04:36 PM	"I will try not to show any emotions but love then," *He smiles, but then gets serius again* "Could'nt you practice it so that you could decide, or is it a drawback of being psionic?"
Loveah Grinarium 11-05-03, 04:39 PM	She sighs, "It is my burden, my flaw, and my curse. I was told long ago that my trust was to open and that I would one day come to learn this. The person who told me that cursed me and told me that when I least expect it I would know what a person was thinking and I'd have no control over it. I then told him I could easily go remove the curse and be ridden of it for good. He only laughed at me and said it was irreversible."
Opaque Divinity 11-05-03, 04:43 PM	"I am sorry... So that means we are both cursed? I can't actually figure out which one is worst.. Share other peoples pain and emotions without control, or relive one's own for eternity? But lets not discuss so solemn matters.." *He releases her from his embrace and holds his face only a few inches away from hers* "You should rest, beloved. Rest and retrieve your powers. I cannot sleep more tonight.."
Loveah Grinarium 11-05-03, 04:52 PM	She nods, "Alright, but wake me at once when Caeruleus awakens." She moves a bit, lays her head on his lap and quickly falls to sleep from her weariness.
Opaque Divinity 11-05-03, 05:02 PM	*He strokes her hair and tries to hold his thoughts on the fading image of her*
Loveah Grinarium 11-05-03, 05:05 PM	She suddenly sits up, "Sanctus!"
Opaque Divinity 11-05-03, 05:12 PM	"Yes?"
Loveah Grinarium 11-05-03, 05:16 PM	"I know what I can do for you!" She concentrates for a moment and slowly and gradually a clear image of Loveah comes into his mind. She has her wings spread open and scales spotting her skin. Her purple hair flows behind her and her gem-like purple eyes seem to smile at him.
Opaque Divinity 11-05-03, 05:20 PM	"Its beautiful? Is it you as an dragon?" *Sanctus regrets that he have never seen her in this mysterious and beautiful way before. He smiles with the radiating picture in front of him. But swiftly, the picture begins to dissolve and fade away like every other memory of seeing. The goddess is to strong in her anger* "NO!?" *He subsides his head and closes his eyes* "Thanks. It was beautiful.. I think. You should sleep.." *His voice are shaking with anger and sadness, as he silently promises to pay the goddess back for her evil deeds*
Loveah Grinarium 11-05-03, 05:23 PM	She smiles, and her voice soft, "Yes it is how I am now. I am sorry I cannot make it last for more than a few seconds. I know I should rest, its just that my mind keeps thinking of things for me to do and say. I will try to ignore it so that I may rest some more as I know I will need the strength." She lays her head back down on his lap and closes her eyes.
Opaque Divinity 11-05-03, 05:24 PM	"You can do much, but now is not the time. We have a battle ahead of us," *He kisses her softly on the forehead and leans back against the cave wall*
Loveah Grinarium 11-06-03, 01:24 AM	~~~~~ ooc: I'm gonna post insync with the other thread :) ~~~~~ She continues thinking, ocassionally to Sanctus it will sound like she is saying something, a few words he could make out are.. "Yes that will do....no won't work...no.."
Opaque Divinity 11-06-03, 01:28 AM	Oh no, not N'sync I just can't take them :) "What is it?" *Sanctus puts an arm around her waist*
Loveah Grinarium 11-06-03, 01:31 AM	~~~~~ ooc: lol... ;) ~~~~~ She looks oddly to Sanctus, "I didn't say anything."
Opaque Divinity 11-06-03, 01:32 AM	"It looked.. It sounded as if you was discussing options with yourself,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-06-03, 01:35 AM	She smacks her forehead with her palm, "Oh, forgot about that one..."
Opaque Divinity 11-06-03, 01:36 AM	"Hmm..?"
Loveah Grinarium 11-06-03, 01:38 AM	She hesitates a moment, "Part 2 of my curse.... sometimes others can hear random thoughts of mine."
Opaque Divinity 11-06-03, 01:42 AM	"So what I just heard was your thoughts? Well.. At least there won't be many secrets among us if we are reading each others minds frequently" *He smiles somewhat strained*
Loveah Grinarium 11-06-03, 01:45 AM	She laughs, "Yes that is true. Um, something else you might need to know of that curse.....ocassionally people, perhaps even you to, will see my dreams in their minds."
Opaque Divinity 11-06-03, 01:49 AM	"If you can see mine, its fair that I see yours," *Sanctus smiles* "Seriously, it can't ever bother me enough to think of leaving you, my dear,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-06-03, 01:52 AM	She nods with a slight smile, "Well at least my dreams in your mind won't be magnified like others are to me." She grows very serious, "One of these days I am going to hunt him down like the animal he is, I will have no objections to doing the same to him and more!"
Opaque Divinity 11-06-03, 10:10 AM	"Revenge, the purpose of many. Whenever, wherever, I will help you my dear,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-06-03, 03:55 PM	She smiles, "Thank you Sanctus." A sniffle could be heard coming from her, "Well, I don't think I could do it though Sanctus." She gets silent, a few more sniffles come from her during this time, "That person was my father, he done this to me!"
Opaque Divinity 11-06-03, 04:15 PM	"I.. I am so sorry... Blood is the only bound I have never broken, and the one I think that I will never break. He must have been very.. sick"
Loveah Grinarium 11-06-03, 04:21 PM	She nods, "I..I don't know what happened to him, he just turned but then again...he may have never liked me since I was born. He killed my mother not long after she finished raising me and I had to go out on my own fearing my dad would kill me before I was strong enough to defend myself. I don't have any happy childhood memories, except those of my mother who always sung me to sleep and hugged me tight before I went to bed. My father I tried to forget but now, I remember again and I will go back for him. Perhaps not to kill him but to find out why he done this to me."
Opaque Divinity 11-06-03, 04:29 PM	"Reason is hard to get, from people like... him. However, do bring me along, when, if, you travel..."
Loveah Grinarium 11-06-03, 08:27 PM	She lightly grabs onto his arm, "Thank you Sanctus, that means a lot to me, just to know you'll stand by my side. I'm glad the gods hath brought me to you."
Opaque Divinity 11-07-03, 01:35 AM	"Me too," *Sanctus smiles again*
Loveah Grinarium 11-07-03, 01:38 AM	After hearing of the Underdark she whispers to him, "Do you think this a trick? I think we should continue, but to the Underdark?"
Opaque Divinity 11-07-03, 01:44 AM	"It is not a comfortable place.. I have been here before, in the body of a drow.. Also I have been here like elf, centuries ago. My first form and it was here I was granted the curse... It pains me to walk within these tunnels, but I think that they will also bring me salvation to those scars of mines.. We can turn back, of course, but I think that this dragon actually means no harm.."
Loveah Grinarium 11-07-03, 01:49 AM	She nods, "I am not sure of this though. I have only heard horror stories and nothing else of this place. A being such as myself rarely come into this place unless for extreme exceptions. I just don't know Sanctus..."
Opaque Divinity 11-07-03, 01:57 AM	*Sanctus holds her and looks into her eyes, with his own pale and death eyes* "We can turn back, always.. However, before we do, why don't you tell me the real reason you won't enter? Hook Horror's and Duergar ain't the cause of the fear I can sense.."
Loveah Grinarium 11-07-03, 02:04 AM	She sighs, "I knew someone who had travelled there long ago. I waited years to hear back from them and I never did. I grew worried and asked around but no one seemed to know where she had gone. I fear she was dead or got corrupted by going into the Underdark. I fear seeing her here if she has been corrupted for I don't know what I would do... either kill her to save her from herself or walk on past as though I do not know her."
Opaque Divinity 11-07-03, 02:07 AM	"A test of mind and soul.. However, lets not abandon another we have promised to help. If we see your friend, we shall think about it then. The underdark is big," *He kisses her and takes her hand* "Shall we leave, or shall we stay?"
Loveah Grinarium 11-07-03, 02:10 AM	She smiles, "We shall go then..." As he holds her hand, he can feel her slightly shaking.
Opaque Divinity 11-07-03, 02:15 AM	"Remember, I will always go back if you want too, and I will never judge you for wanting too. You didnt judge me for my sins, I would be wrong for blaming you for so little. I can never love you less.."
Loveah Grinarium 11-07-03, 02:21 AM	She lightly squeezes his hand, "Thank you again. I will try to stay strong and remember what I promised my town long ago before I set out on my adventures. I will not give up on them nor you, I will go on!"
Loveah Grinarium 11-07-03, 09:49 AM	She takes a deeb breath then slowly lets out. To Sanctus' ears her breathing slows greatly for a few minutes, but then gradually goes back to normal. She had renewed her invisibility on herself.
Opaque Divinity 11-07-03, 10:28 AM	*Sanctus puts his hand on Loveah's forehead and mutters. For a few second a pulsating red light enters Loveah's head through his finger and then it stops glowing. A chill run through Loveah but besides that she can't feel anything different* *Sanctus does it to himself, too, and he too can feel the chill. He have put a protective shield on both of their minds, that will reduce the effect of mind blasts and other psionic powers, though not reducing loveahs mind power*
Loveah Grinarium 11-07-03, 10:31 AM	She looks to Sanctus, "What was that you just did?"
Opaque Divinity 11-07-03, 10:36 AM	"Reenforced my mind protection. It will reduce the effect of mind spells cast on either of us, though not reducing the effect of yours," *He smiles and draws forth his Scimitar and run the cutting edge through his hand. A red slender gash opened on the open palm, and tiny drops of blood ran from the slender wound. Sanctus didn't know, though, for he could only sense the edge of the blade, not the wound it have made* "Still sharp,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-07-03, 10:39 AM	She looks at what he just brought out and the cut it just made. "Sanctus! You hath cut yourself with that! Please be careful!" She gently takes his hand and grows still and quiet, the wound has healed up. She sighs a bit and shakes her head, "Trying to hurt yourself even before the battle, now that's sad my love."
Opaque Divinity 11-07-03, 10:41 AM	"I am sorry, I didn't... See." *He turns, holding the blade parralel to his leg* "Lets get it overwith,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-07-03, 10:45 AM	This huge mind wave comes over her and knocks her back and to the ground. "What!" Her eyes closed, images flashing through her mind as well as Sanctus', pictures of her lost friend. Her body mutilated beyond a human's capabilities. Blood and pieces of the body are strewn everywhere within a room and Loveah's name written in blood. Loveah screams out from the images and the magnified pain that comes from having them.
Opaque Divinity 11-07-03, 10:49 AM	*Forgetting his distress and anger, Sanctus sheats the blade and gets down on his knees besides her. Tears starts to form in his eyes, but he ignores it and runs his hand over her skin, trying to find any wounds or physícal damage. Deep within he know it is psysical, though, and can only blame himself* "What is it?? Loveah?!! Im sorry!!"
Loveah Grinarium 11-07-03, 10:52 AM	"Images...pictures... of .. my friend!" She fights to gain control of her mind but is having a hard time fighting it due to the emotions she had felt from the images. "No...wounds...on me...fighting to gain control..."
Opaque Divinity 11-07-03, 10:58 AM	*The shield he had raised minutes before, is finally penetrated by the wicked images of massacre and death. He sees the name written on the wall with blood, and his head subsides. He tears the blade from its sheat* "NOO!!!" *He thrust it into the stone-floor, and sparks starts to emerge from the wall. Tears mixes with cold-sweat and runs down the his face, dripping onto the rocks*
Loveah Grinarium 11-07-03, 11:00 AM	She could also sense what had just been done to Sanctus, "I am so sorry Sanctus!" She fights harder to gain control of her mind and at the same time tries to clear his mind of it.
Opaque Divinity 11-07-03, 11:05 AM	"It.. Can't.. be.. true!" *The scimitar, being the only thing supporting him, dissapears beneath him as his hands slip on the soaked handle. Sanctus bangs his head into the rocky floor, tearing a gash on his forehead on a sharp rock. He looses consciousness, but still the images wavers on the edge of his mind*
Loveah Grinarium 11-07-03, 11:08 AM	Finally she is able to control her mind. She opens her eyes and quickly crawls over to Sanctus. She looks for wounds and sees one on his head, her breathing slows down, and the wound gradually heals itself but it is slow. She tries to block out the images of the mutilated body with images of her as a half-dragon and then as a human.
Opaque Divinity 11-07-03, 11:14 AM	*Sanctus shivers as both the wound and the images appear. His slumbering mind awakens again, and he opens those dead eyes of his* ".. no.."
Loveah Grinarium 11-07-03, 11:16 AM	"I am really sorry you had to see that Sanctus, I should close the link between us, for it will only cause harm." She backs up and slowly stands, but her legs are still weak from shock and give out from beneath her.
Opaque Divinity 11-07-03, 11:19 AM	"... Is it you.. or a mur.. murderer.. I will.. have to.. to kill.."
Loveah Grinarium 11-07-03, 11:21 AM	She waits a moment before answering, "That was my friend I had mentioned earlier, it seems someone wanted me to see what happened to her or what will become of her."
Opaque Divinity 11-07-03, 11:26 AM	"It is you, loveah..? I am.. blind as a mole.." *He strains to smile and gets up* "These images.. Is it a warning or a threat?"
Loveah Grinarium 11-07-03, 11:30 AM	She smiles, "Yes it is I Sanctus, those images I am not sure if they have been carried out or will be. Perhaps I will never know or that is an entirely different quest on its own." She hugs him for her own comfort and to let him know it truely was her.
Opaque Divinity 11-07-03, 11:34 AM	*Regocnizing her passion and body heat, he clings to her and lets the blade slip onto the floor. The images dissolves like every other in his mind, and he is quickly soothed from the scaring sight, though he knows that it will affect his beloved much more* "I'd wish there were anything I could do for you.."
Loveah Grinarium 11-07-03, 11:39 AM	"I know, but we must keep our mind on our quest or hope will be lost.."
Loveah Grinarium 11-07-03, 11:53 AM	All of a sudden she seems cheerful and starts humming a tune. Realizing her mood she thinks a moment, "Hmmm..."
Loveah Grinarium 11-08-03, 04:33 PM	She turns to look at Sanctus curiously, "What is that you said?"
Opaque Divinity 11-08-03, 04:38 PM	"What? Just before? I used the elven language, since it proves to be the most beautiful... I said, Thanks, My Eyes.. I know it is an possessive statement, but it was my words of gratitude.. You are the most loving person I have ever met.."
Loveah Grinarium 11-08-03, 04:42 PM	She smiles, "You are welcome. I have always tried to give others a chance before I judged them that way I have less enemies, though it not always worked. As far as love goes that is just my nature and I am glad of it. For without it I could not love you."
Opaque Divinity 11-08-03, 04:46 PM	"Am I so hard to love?" *He asks purely, curious, not accusing or hurt. He seems to ponder for a second* "I probably am, and the only one to blame is myself. I can only be grateful that you have the guts to love one as treacherous as me..."
Loveah Grinarium 11-08-03, 04:50 PM	She frowns a bit, "No, I had not meant it that way..... please forgive me I must have mixed up my words."
Opaque Divinity 11-08-03, 04:53 PM	"I cannot forgive you, for faults you havent permitted. You make see, physically and you make me see the truth of my heart. You are a muse to me, and you are, as I said before, a candle to light my path of darkness. But beyond that, you are also my love, my dearest and my only,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-08-03, 04:56 PM	She nods, "I am glad I can do so much for you for I am happy to do it..." under her breath, "even though it isn't for very long of periods that you see.."
Opaque Divinity 11-08-03, 04:59 PM	*The corruption of her curse sends her last thoughts to his mind, and he nods and puts his chin on her shoulder* "My mind may not see for so long, but the illuminated path of my heart gets clearer with your every word. I can live without my eyes, but I cannot live without you. We shall overcome all terrors and obsticles, together,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-08-03, 05:03 PM	She smiles, "Thank you Sanctus, now I know why we are so good together....we have a special "parasite-host" thing going. We both benefit from each other."
Opaque Divinity 11-08-03, 05:05 PM	"Its called love my dear. Its called love.." *He kisses her on the neck*
Loveah Grinarium 11-08-03, 05:12 PM	She smiles and closes her eyes throughout the rest of the flying trip. She was very happy and content. She allows thoughts of the previous battle to run through her mind, they weren't happy but perhaps a strategy would form from it somehow. If Sanctus was tuned to her, it was a good chance that he too would "see" the same through his mind.
Opaque Divinity 11-08-03, 05:15 PM	*Yes, he saw it all too clearly, how he sacrificed himself to a noble cause, how he sacrificed his eyesight for a girl he had never known. How he stumbled around, foolishly, after the battle. How certain he was that his sight will return. How certain.*
Loveah Grinarium 11-08-03, 05:17 PM	As she continued to picture the battle, one image stayed longer than most, the shadow.... its destruction and its hate.... but one thing she thought, "He hurt me but why didn't he kill me when he had the chance?"
Opaque Divinity 11-08-03, 05:20 PM	"The school wants you alive.. And it still wants you,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-08-03, 06:37 PM	She jumps at the sound of his voice, "Do you think so?"
Opaque Divinity 11-08-03, 07:02 PM	"That is one explanation, to your dilemma.. However, I am no wiseman, thus I cannot tell you if im right or wrong,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-08-03, 07:13 PM	She nods, "Yes, you are right once more. But my only question is, what or who will they send next?"
Opaque Divinity 11-08-03, 07:17 PM	"No matter who or what they send, we will always be able to beat it," *He smiles*
Loveah Grinarium 11-08-03, 07:28 PM	Again, she smiles, "Yes, perhaps you are right. So what do you think of us riding on a dragon? I think it is kind of unusual for a half-dragon to be riding a dragon don't you think?"
Loveah Grinarium 11-09-03, 04:13 AM	She relaxes back against Sanctus and closes her eyes, "Do you have a plan for the mindflayer yet sweetheart?"
Opaque Divinity 11-09-03, 04:24 AM	"If it is a community, we must strike for the central brain. If it is only a single one, we must surround it and attack it from several directions, to steal whatever advantage it have,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-09-03, 04:26 AM	She nods in contemplation, "Yes, that seems like a good strategy, but what about surrounding it so when it turns we can easily attatck it?"
Opaque Divinity 11-09-03, 04:30 AM	"Distraction is good too.. I worry most about this knife, though, for it seems it is not a weapon that should be in hands of a Mind Flayer.. Or a dragon, for that sake,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-09-03, 04:35 AM	She thinks a minute, "If it shouldn't be in the hands of a gem dragon then who do you suppose should be qualified to watch over it? Not many want to mess with a dragon nor a half-dragon at that."
Opaque Divinity 11-09-03, 04:47 AM	"No one should have it. It should be destroyed, in my opinion. But that is matters we can discuss when we get the dagger. I dont think caerulus will be willing to give up such a weapon,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-09-03, 04:50 AM	"Hmm, didn't think of that....No, she probably wouldn't, though I hope she keeps a better eye on it next time, because next time who knows who will have it." She shivers slightly at either the temperature or perhaps a thought.
Opaque Divinity 11-09-03, 04:55 AM	"Your lost friend? That would prove dangerour... So much more reason to destroy it,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-09-03, 04:58 AM	"After those images of her I doubt she is alive anymore...." her voice grew saddened. "But I know plenty of others who this artifact is exactly what they are looking for."
Opaque Divinity 11-09-03, 05:01 AM	"Then we will make sure they will never get it,"
Krissy 11-09-03, 10:52 AM	Caeruleus chimes in. "I would have destroyed it, but destroying this thing is more difficult than destroying the Annulus, which can be destroyed if you use it to destroy a demi-god... or attempt to destroy a god."
Opaque Divinity 11-09-03, 10:59 AM	"We shall try,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-09-03, 02:33 PM	She looks to Caeruleus as she speak, nearly startled by her words for she hadn't normally bothered joining in their conversation. "Wow, do you know who made the artifact then? If we know who made it then possibly a trip could be made to them so that the person could destroy it?"
Opaque Divinity 11-09-03, 02:38 PM	"One who makes so cruel weapons is not one with good intentions. I dont think we would recieve help from that front,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-09-03, 02:54 PM	She nods, "Again I must not have been thinking straight...a good point"
Krissy 11-09-03, 03:24 PM	Caeruleus chuckles. "If one likes dealing with long long long dead mindflayers, than be my guest!"
Loveah Grinarium 11-09-03, 03:26 PM	She shakes her head with a grin, "I think I'll pass, somone else can be the guest."
Loveah Grinarium 11-09-03, 03:47 PM	She gently places her hand on Sanctus and with a slight grin she makes an image of her appear when she was younger, this image did not have the star-shaped scar under her eye.
Opaque Divinity 11-09-03, 03:50 PM	*Sanctus smiles at the picture. She was also beautiful back then* "How did you get that scar.. If its not to painful to speak about,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-09-03, 04:02 PM	"Scar? Oh...Yes, I had quite forgotten about that...Well around the age of fifteen I had a run in with an evil and powerful mage. Even to this day I am not sure how I survived but I did....anyway, he went to cast a spell towards me but was startled in the middle of it. He turned toward the noise and it was a small psudeodragon that was wandering around in the area. As he turned and his concentration of the spell was broken and it hit me, but also left this weird shaped scar. I had fallen unconscious to the ground, the mage took the opportune time to run from what.. I don't know. I woke up eventually, not ever knowing how long I had been out. I later found out about my scar when I went to bathe in a pond, I looked down at my reflection and there it was..." As she speaks in his mind he can see images of the past and the run in with the mage. The mage was clothed in a black robe with golden runes sewn onto it.
Opaque Divinity 11-09-03, 05:10 PM	"yet another ill person. You haven't been lucky, now have you?" He says, while stroking her hair and kissing her.
Loveah Grinarium 11-09-03, 05:53 PM	"No, I'm afraid I haven't. I wonder why I am not mean and lonely living by myself in the middle of the woods sometime instead of being so sweet and caring. However, I think I've learned from it and decided that the other way to go is not the best solution to my problems."
Opaque Divinity 11-09-03, 06:20 PM	*Sanctus chuckles* "I cannot picture you as an old hag, sitting and squeezing squirrels in some black forest, obviously, but it sure is a funny thought," *Sanctus seems to be fading into old reminiscences, and mutters* "The easy solution is not the answer..." *A drow stands in a dark woods, scattered bodies all around him, bleeding and dying. The drow stands, looking at his soaked hands, staring in disbelief at what he had done. He grabs his blade in two hands and with a expression of determination, the drow elf drives it inwards. The blade tip protrudes on the drow's back, and the dark elf falls to the ground, breathing from punctured lungs. No air can be drawn from his body, and the ragged breath stops. The drow seems to be still struggling, with something deep inside, for it trembles. Then, a bluish fog emerges from the chest of the drow, and in the fog can be seen horrid faces. Faces of Sanctus past and presence, faces he shall be controlled by. His curse. The fog dissapears into the air, back to the forge of the goddess that delivered the curse. There it is changed and returned to the ground for yet another life span in a horrid form. Sanctus shakes his head and closes his blind eyes*
Loveah Grinarium 11-09-03, 09:28 PM	She frowns and hugs Sanctus, "I am sorry."
Loveah Grinarium 11-10-03, 01:08 PM	"Well, we have another to our group, at least our chances are increasing now. Though, I hope he is not one to just rush in or else or chances will decrease."
Opaque Divinity 11-10-03, 01:10 PM	"I think not.. He seem friendly, and somewhat reasonable. I think he will be a valuable member to our group," "And its not your fault, no need to say sorry.. Just my lack of reason that catches up with me,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-10-03, 01:16 PM	She smiles and nods, she speaks within his mind, "You know what Sanctus? No matter how determined I may seem on the outside, deep down I am just as scared when we had to fight the shadow."
Opaque Divinity 11-10-03, 01:23 PM	*Sanctus uses his mind to reply to her message, using magic instead of skill* "Fear is a human trait, nothing to be ashamed of.. I shiver too, in my soul, not for wounds or death, but for you.. If we both fear for our lives, two prepared fighters will protect you at all time.. You and me, my love."
Loveah Grinarium 11-10-03, 01:26 PM	She smiles and speaks within his mind, "I am always happy to know that you will take such good care of me. I guess that is one of the reasons why I love you so much."
Opaque Divinity 11-10-03, 01:30 PM	"You don't need it though, my skilled warrior princess," *Sanctus smiles yet again, a feature he becomes more and more acustomed too* "Im just the helping hand,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-10-03, 01:38 PM	"A very good helping hand at that." She says with a soft happy sigh. She closes her eyes to imagine a happy moment but is quickly interupted by the image of blood. She winces at it and quickly opens her eyes she prays that he had not seen it. She tries to ignore it so that perhaps if he didn't see it he won't think anything is wrong, "You know having another member is great, but I only hope we do not have to stop or have any more stalling."
Opaque Divinity 11-10-03, 01:47 PM	*Sanctus smile is suddenly broking by an image of blood, but it seems to be only an illusion of his wicked mind, as it dissapears moments later. Loveah seems to be quite nervous though, and he grasps at what is happening. He is torn between asking for her safety, or to let the pain ease and soothe. He realises his love doesnt mean anything if he is not concerned for her safety. He sends a mental message to her* "What's 'on' your mind?"
Loveah Grinarium 11-10-03, 01:53 PM	"I.. uh.. its nothing." She smiles as best she can.
Opaque Divinity 11-10-03, 01:55 PM	"If you say so.. But I wont you to know you can tell me all... Do not hold such secrets, the burden will only get heavier,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-10-03, 01:58 PM	She nods, "It was just an image thats all..."
Opaque Divinity 11-10-03, 02:03 PM	"It doesnt look like its only an image to you. But I will hold my peace, if its not a comfortable topic, my love,"
Loveah Grinarium 11-10-03, 02:05 PM	"An image of blood... whether its past or to come, its hard to tell...."
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-10-03, 05:05 PM	While standing on the spot from which they can all see the settlement, Wingljay keeps mumuring: "A real Flayers' compound, with a fightin' arena, and a slavehall, and all 'em brainsealed doorwaies, an' an elder brain... can't belive we gonna see one... woah... "
Loveah Grinarium 11-11-03, 11:03 AM	She nods, "Yes, it is something to see. I only hope after this time we will not have to come back here."
Opaque Divinity 11-11-03, 11:24 AM	"This is a sight I do not envy you. And a sight I wished I had never seen. Shall we proceed, Caerulus?"
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-11-03, 01:21 PM	Wingljay turns to sanctus with concern "Ugh... ye sure? Cause i 'eard blind people be seein' 'lusions some times... i could show ya... wah... so say, we gots a plan or somethin? He;ll be goin to 'is elder brain, no? Like to take its mind-gamin' tricks to 'imself and get all 'eir compund apart..."
Opaque Divinity 11-11-03, 01:29 PM	"By he, do you mean the mind flayer? The Ithillid? If so, I would assume it wouldnt want to destroy its society, for the city is the copwebs that surrounds it in a protective manner. I just think it will rise to the top, and nearest to the brains powers, as swiftly as it can. However, it might be a renegade typ'a creature and so it will probably follow your plan.."
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-11-03, 02:51 PM	"Follow... my... hey, with that dagger thang, he could by now come to be a mindgamer mighty enough to hear my thoughts form down there! That'd mean... oh blasted devils and crap! I could've given an idea to a bloody braineater!! Shiete! I feel like an Unseelie pleasureslave, al dirty an' bloody and stuff!" Remembering what loveah told him, he makes a greate effort to relax, and eventually reaches success. "Eventually" doesn't mean it didn't take long...
Loveah Grinarium 11-11-03, 04:47 PM	She smiles and turns to Wingljay, "Thank you." She turned back around and sighs and thinks to herself, "I hope none of those mindflayers are tuned into their surroundings for hearing the man they could easily all become provoked."
Loveah Grinarium 11-12-03, 12:58 PM	She turns to Sanctus with a smile, "How about me as a sexy mindflayer? Hmm.. what about a sexy outfit too?" She continues laughing just at the thought of it.
Opaque Divinity 11-12-03, 01:02 PM	*Sanctus chuckles at her remark* "I have forgotten how an Itthilid look? Do they wear any clothes at all?" *Sanctus seems to be digging deep in his subconsciousness but he finds no reminiscences of the Itthilin, besides the facts of their weapon, height and weight"
Loveah Grinarium 11-12-03, 01:06 PM	She nods, "Yes they wear a cloak or robe looking thing that covers them entirely, well except their heads."
Opaque Divinity 11-12-03, 01:08 PM	"Hmm.. If we get it in a small size you could look just as sexy as when human.. Exept that tentacles aint to attractive ;)"
Loveah Grinarium 11-12-03, 01:11 PM	She smiles, "Well, thanks.... I think." She laughs, "Yeah your right though, tentacles just wouldn't flatter me."
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-13-03, 10:05 AM	Wingljay joins the humor: "Why... ya could have 'em cov'red 'ith scales an' stuff..."
Loveah Grinarium 11-13-03, 12:22 PM	She looks to Wingljay with a smile, "Hmmm... I think that would make things worse." She tries to contain her laughter but fails and continues to laugh.
Loveah Grinarium 11-14-03, 10:25 AM	She sends a message to Sanctus in his mind, "Well it seems we will be fighting now long from now. I pray we will be successful and no one shall be hurt to bad." Memories of the quest before this one pops into her mind she quickly tries to shake herself free from those thoughts. "This is not the time..." she tries to tell herself.
Opaque Divinity 11-14-03, 10:33 AM	"If that is the... destiny that lies before us, I will accept, though not with a smile," sanctus replies and nods solemnly.
Loveah Grinarium 11-14-03, 10:37 AM	At that she nods and runs beside Sanctus, he could feel her brush up against him. In his mind she continues to speak, "My dear Sanctus....."
Opaque Divinity 11-14-03, 10:45 AM	"My dear..." Sanctus whispers, barely audible. He then looks down, though still running at a fast pace to put up with the dragon. "If I fall today, please, hesitate not to flee, for I will come back with no kind reminiscences of our relationship, and with an instinctive, evil urge to destroy everyone in my path," he says, fear and sorrow in his voice. "Please, I could not bear to harm you, for in the subconsciousness of that horrid creature, the last mind that is Sanctus, would survive and know the horror of that pernicious deed..."
Loveah Grinarium 11-14-03, 10:48 AM	She sighs, "Alright Sanctus but it will not be easy." Her breathing slows as well as her, she stops running and forces herself to sit for she cannot run much more. She tries to force herself up but her body does not cooperate.
Opaque Divinity 11-14-03, 10:55 AM	As she stops her pace, he hears her steps dissipate, he turns around and kneels besides her. Leaning over, his pale cheek touching her's, he whispers into her ear, "Speed is an important factor, my love, and to loose it, could mean doom." "He touches her forehead gently, and she seem to relax more, her breath growing less strained. Then, she feels lighter and lighter, and at last, she raise from the floor and into the air. She is now standing on both legs, a few inches above the ground, with much more energy running through her. "Come, beloved, this should help you a score of minutes," he whispers and starts running quicker, to catch up with the other. Loveah notices that his breath is more ragged than before, and his body wincing with every step.
Loveah Grinarium 11-14-03, 10:58 AM	She frowns, "No my love, you must go on without me, I will catch up soon enough. I do not want to be the cause of your wasted energy. I want both of us to make it from this battle and in order to do that you must leave me here until I can catch up again, you must go on."
Opaque Divinity 11-14-03, 11:00 AM	"I cannot take it back now, to stop would be to waste my energy... I wish for us to fight side by side, for only then can I be assured of your safety... But of course, I can.... If you want me.. to," he says, while turning around apruptly.
Loveah Grinarium 11-14-03, 11:05 AM	She thinks a moment, "Think you could carry a kitten easier than me?" Not even waiting for a response she uses a polymorph power and turns into a small kitten. Something strange about this kitten, it has purple fur and its eyes are like amethyst gems that sparkle when the lights hit it just right and seem to have a slight glow to them.
Opaque Divinity 11-14-03, 12:30 PM	"Surely," he smiles and bows. "Trot along!"
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-14-03, 09:38 PM	When Sanctus catches up with him, Wingljay looks at the fluffy little creature he carries. His eyes widen and express surprise but he doesn't really say anything. . o O 0 {meowrrrr?} 0 O o .
Loveah Grinarium 11-14-03, 11:16 PM	The fluffy purple kitty purrs to Sanctus and rubs up against him. She looks to Wingljay and seems to give him a wide grin, flashing her white teeth at him.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-15-03, 09:58 AM	One of wingljay's eyes remain wide, its eyebrow raised, while the other almost closes, as he examins the kitten. ~ Lahdey Loveah? That be ye?
Loveah Grinarium 11-15-03, 10:03 AM	The kittens head nods, and within his mind she speaks to him. "Yes Wingljay it is I. My body could no longer carry me to run so I had to change to make it easier for Sanctus to carry me. I thought that my fur might be the big clue giver." At the last sentence her voice sounded a little playful. She rubs Sanctus for a moment then jumps to Wingljay's arms. Again she speaks, "Like my new look?"
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-15-03, 10:09 AM	Wingljay scratches Loveah behind the years, under the chin, touches her nose with his, and generally enjoies the company of the kitten. "Hihi, meow... yeah, better than lookin' like an illi-thud, an'way... cute, haha!"
Loveah Grinarium 11-15-03, 10:15 AM	She smiles and purrs. Again in his mind she speaks, "I take it you enjoy cats? Did you have one back where you lived?"
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-15-03, 12:09 PM	"Ugh... did i have one? How 'sac'ly can ye have a cat? Well, ah mean yeah, one o' my mistress' rivals used t'ave a lion familiar... yeah, then that cunnin' li'l countess Syul Ridhe Qua Tfyrn Lahrl of Seelie felt all outrun and stuff, so she got all 'er doughters wemic familiars, till the big Nighthunt kidnapped 'em; oh, an' some elven wiz'zars came 'round us 'casion'ly - had kitty familiars too!"
Loveah Grinarium 11-15-03, 12:15 PM	She shakes her head, continuing to speak into his mind, "By having one I meant owning one.... cat familiars huh? Poor cats, familiars should be strong animals, like ravens or wolves, not cute and weak ones. So tell me, what are you exactly, are you a slave or something?" She gets comfortable within Wingljays grasp and continues purring while listening to him speak. Every once in awhile she looks to Sanctus but then turns her attention back to Wingljay as he speaks.
Opaque Divinity 11-15-03, 12:27 PM	*As the cat leaves his arms, sanctus tries to grasp at it, but it is to quick. Not seeing where she is, he gets his own idea, and decides to just ignore the fact that she has left his hold. His face grows stern, and he stands still* EDIT: Aint running, sorry.. :embarrass
Loveah Grinarium 11-15-03, 12:30 PM	Seeing Sanctus looking for her, she says something to Wingljay in his mind, "I'll be right back, please hold your story." She jumps from Wingljays graps and jumps to Sanctus' arms. She rubs against him and purrs softly.
Opaque Divinity 11-15-03, 12:37 PM	Sactus smiles softly when she returns to his grasp, but then frowns slightly and looks down at the cat, with his pale eyes. He strains and then speak into her mind, "Where did you go? Did you look closer at the itthilid?" he asks, sincere interest in his voice.
Loveah Grinarium 11-15-03, 12:42 PM	She softly rubs against him and nudges him with her nose as a loving gesture. She speaks to him in his mind, "After I left you I jumped to Wingljay. He and I were just talking about cats and familiars until a minute ago I asked what he was exactly, asking if he was a slave or what. In general we were just speaking and talking, nothing of the harmful nature."
Opaque Divinity 11-15-03, 12:46 PM	"Oh," he says, and for one moment his smile fades. It reappears swiftly, though somewhat affected. He strokes it and says no more.
Loveah Grinarium 11-15-03, 12:49 PM	She seen the frown, "Something wrong Sanctus? Did my going to see Wingljay bother you?"
Opaque Divinity 11-15-03, 12:55 PM	"No.. Im fine.. I just... Its nothing," he stutters and looks down, ashamed of his paranoia. He smiles again, the real happiness showing again. "Im just glad, you two get along! It'll help better in the fight, we will undoubtedly soon face.."
Loveah Grinarium 11-15-03, 12:58 PM	She nods to him with a smile right before using her mind to attack one of the illithids.
Opaque Divinity 11-15-03, 01:00 PM	EDIT: Ooops didnt see drindins post.. Doh!
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-15-03, 01:56 PM	"Bah? Hell naw!" He watches the kitten jump back to the blind man, and then hears Careleus' command. Snapping form his intention to speak, he releases five mirror-immages of himself, grabs his weapons, and charges forwards. That's one thing he'll always be good at...
Loveah Grinarium 11-15-03, 06:36 PM	She furrowed her brows at Wingljays foul language. She thinks to herself, "He speaks such language in front of two ladies, not very polite at all!" {ooc: What the other characters hear of Loveah's thoughts is up to the player... as her curse often makes it random as to who all hears it. So it is up to you as to what thoughts you hear of hers! :D}
Drindin 11-15-03, 08:54 PM	Originally posted by Loveah Grinarium She nods to him with a smile right before using her mind to attack one of the illithids. Dudes, you can post between-combat actions in here, but keep combat actions to the main thread please...
Loveah Grinarium 11-15-03, 10:00 PM	~~~~~~~~~ ooc: I know I was only stating something not related to battle before going after the mindflayer. The attack mentioned in that post was also posted in the regular thread. :) ~~~~~~~~~~
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-18-03, 01:01 AM	"Well, an'one else feels like that mindass bit a piece of 'is brain 'thout even touchin'im? Or withit? Or i be th'only lucky fool?"
Loveah Grinarium 11-18-03, 01:22 AM	She does not comment for she lays in Sanctus' arms in a deep sleep from losing so much energy and power. It was obvious she had gave everything she had in the battle, especially after the telekinetic ability.
Loveah Grinarium 11-18-03, 01:50 AM	While the fluffy purple kitten sleeps, Sanctus could feel it shiver... though it was hard to tell what had made her do so.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-18-03, 09:40 AM	"And say, an'one gonna do an'thing 'bout my ill-aquired stupidity, or m'i to 'main a dumb fool like that till i draw back to the deeper forest, a?"
Loveah Grinarium 11-18-03, 09:42 AM	Hearing all the noise wakes her from her slumber. The fluffy purple kitten stretches and looks to Wingljay, in his mind, "I'll help ya if ya hold me for a bit."
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-18-03, 10:54 AM	"Oooh, thank ya, fluffy kitty... ugh... i mean Lady Loveah!" He gently takes teh kitten and pets it, purring at it, immitating the purring sound pretty acurately.
Loveah Grinarium 11-18-03, 10:58 AM	She closes her eyes and focuses on his mind. Wingljay could feel a slight warming sensation within his mind, then slowly his intelligence began to return to him. In his mind, "I may look like a fluffy kitty but remember that I have a name." Her tone wasn't upset or reprimanding, but a slight joking one.
Opaque Divinity 11-18-03, 11:03 AM	Sanctus, pondering what had made her shiver, decided that he would ask her later in the night. Right now he relaxed with the sound of her faint purs, though missing the heat of her body.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-18-03, 11:10 AM	"Wah, cool... ah can feel ma skull again, yeah! Whee, now i can doo all those stuff Mistress tought me again! Eh, well... i will, once i get some readin' done 'gain, anyway. Thank you, really, and sor' for all that kitty talk, guess yer new from's cureness got better o'me for a moment 'ere, haha!" He gently laies Loveah on Sanctus' shoulder near his neck.
Loveah Grinarium 11-18-03, 11:10 AM	In Sanctus' mind he can hear her voice, "I shall return to you in a minute, I am helping and healing Wingljay. I hope you do not mind. However, I must admit I like the kitty look on me, I don't want to stay this way for more than a day. So I must get somewhere where we can rest as I grow more tired by the min...." she doesn't get a chance to finish and falls limp in Wingljays arms. She is still breathing, just knocked out.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-18-03, 11:17 AM	Wingljay looks very concerned: "Oh deamn, she got all faintish! Ugh... i real' awe her, spesh'y now, and if t'was a forest i'd be takin' some herbs and doin' job, but how the Waste d'ya heal a cute lil' kitten in the mi'le o' some stinky cavern?! Listen, we got get out'ere for she gets worth, we don't want Loveah's healt risked, a? I ain't much tired, so i could run out and try to return with 'em weeds and plants, guessin' my way back..."
Loveah Grinarium 11-18-03, 11:25 AM	As she lays there knocked out her small kitten body begins shivering as though cold.
Opaque Divinity 11-18-03, 11:55 AM	Sanctus holds the cat tightly, clutching the limpless body in a protective manner. His expression is confused and desperate, as it begins wincing. Loveah? Loveah!. He turns to the just as desperate Wingljay, "I will try something, for I dare not risk loosing her," he tells and then starts chanting. Nothing visible happens, until Sanctus heads glows faint white, and energy start forming into a massive substanse and into the cat, draining him and strenghtened her. Panting, he can only hope it will wake her up, or he will have to drain even more.
Loveah Grinarium 11-18-03, 12:01 PM	The small kitten begins moving, purring could be heard coming from her. She looks up to now be in Sanctus' arms. She nudges him and rubs against his chest. "Thank you Sanctus, though I fear that what you did helped me, but also in a way will have harmed me. You gave me the energy I needed, but I ask that you contain me, or tie me down. When I get this low on points I tend to go into a frenzy like state until I am knocked out again or dead. I don't want to hurt you or anyone else." She jumps from Sanctus' arms and lands on her feet on the ground. She quickly changes from cute kitten into an amethyst dragon form. (True she isn't a full amethyst but she can always polymorph to look like one. ;) ) A loud roar echos from her and by the sound of the roar it was easy to tell that something must be done and fast!

"It is my fate, I fear," Sanctus mutters, while jumping of the dragon after her. The jump, only about six feet, sweeps the legs away beneath him. It is very visible that he is weakened, as he raises again, shivering and trembling. He turns to the dragon and to Wingljay. "Please... Leave... This is between me... and my.... love..." his breath is strained, and he is send stumbling into the rock wall headfirst. The clash apparently shakes him deeply, for he retains his look of outwards strenght, as the blood runs down from a gash on his forehead. He drops the blade to the floor, the blood of the Itthilid clearly showing on it. Obviously, he has decided not to hurt Loveah, even if it will be at the cost of his live. Jumping towards the dragon, he barely comes half of the height of his normal jumps, though it is not clearly showing if it is intentioned or not. He lands a few feet from Loveah while throwing some leaves into the air, which begins shooting, apparently frail, threads of light towards each others, forming into a net. The net is huge and he knows its strong, and begins flying at the dragon, falling down over its massive body.
Opaque Divinity 11-18-03, 12:13 PM	Off to dinner, will be back in thirty minutes at most
Loveah Grinarium 11-18-03, 12:18 PM	As the net covers her, she lets out another angry roar. After the roar of the dragon the body slowly starts changing and forming to something else. After a few minutes pass a human shape starts forming from the dragon's old form. The colors of her hair, dress, and boots begin to show. Finally, she is back to her human form, laying face down on the ground. Her hair fanned out around her neck and collar area. Her arms stretched out to the sides of her still speckled with scales, but those slowly disappear.
Opaque Divinity 11-18-03, 12:58 PM	Sanctus falls down besides her, his breath barely audible. Trying to communicate with her mind, he meets failure and instead talks with a low whisper, "Are you... past it?"
Loveah Grinarium 11-18-03, 01:19 PM	She slowly turns over, the netting in her face so she turns her head to the side, "I th..think so..." She manages to take a look at him from the corner of her eye, "Oh Sanctus, did I do that to you?" She touches the net with one finger and it disapates. She sits up, gently places her hand over his wound. Slowly the wound heals itself and any sign of blood that was around it, is now gone.
Opaque Divinity 11-18-03, 01:26 PM	"No... I... Do not.... exhaust... yourself again..." he stutters, carressing her soft hair with a weak hand.
Loveah Grinarium 11-18-03, 01:29 PM	She speaks aloud, "I won't do anymore, however I must go back to my kitten form to save up any energy I have left. Cats use less energy than humans or any other creature I care to turn into."
Opaque Divinity 11-18-03, 01:34 PM	He nods hazily and closes his eyelids. After a moment, though, he sits up and shakes his head.
Loveah Grinarium 11-18-03, 01:42 PM	She lightly smiles and then polymorhps to the sweet little fluffly purple kitty. The kitten climbs up onto his lap and purrs. She gently nudges his stomach with her nose. She places a paw on him as though to say, "Pick me up and hold me." As a kitten she couldn't speak, only through her telepathic powers could she transmit any kind of message. Though she decides it best not to use them and she hopes that Sanctus would have caught onto that.
Opaque Divinity 11-18-03, 01:46 PM	Sanctus picks the kitten up, while raising from the floor himself. He turns towards the dragon they had dismounted, and looks if its still there. (So should we suppose they have waited, or continue to the surface ourselves?)
Loveah Grinarium 11-18-03, 01:52 PM	~~~~~~~~~~ ooc: I guess it would be safe to assume that they would have waited :) ~~~~~~~~~~ The kitten continues to nudge affectionately against him, until finally she decides to settle down and rest. There is warmth emiting from the kitten as she rests that offers him peace of mind of her well being. While she sleeps she continues to purr softly in content and love.
Opaque Divinity 11-18-03, 02:00 PM	Smiling softly, he gets on the dragon's back as carefully as possibly. He strokes the cat, and nods calming to Wingljay and Caerulus. "We can continue now, if you wish too".
Loveah Grinarium 11-18-03, 02:06 PM	As he pets her the purring grows somewhat louder, she moves a little to get more comfortable then drifts back to sleep again.
Drindin 11-18-03, 06:02 PM	((Caeruleus will be taking you out soon)
Loveah Grinarium 11-19-03, 01:41 AM	The kitten starts moving around in Sanctus' arms, and she softly nudges him.
Opaque Divinity 11-19-03, 01:43 AM	Sanctus looks at the kitten in his arms and smiles, though his smile is weary. He holds it, and begins walking towards kulidebs inn.
