Subject: Re: [Dagger] [PORC]The tour comes to an end, and a new villian arises Date: Tue, 11 Aug 1998 16:08:32 +0800 From: Mea Culpa Organization: Toujour L'amour To: "dagrfall@ods.com" Well, you could have knocked me over with a feather, when Jemmy apologized to me ( for what I pondered ? ) him and the Ladies then teleported out of here, leaving me and Zarth, sitting on a near empty table. I looked at Zarth, as if to say " now what the oblivion happened ? " the only clue I had was that Sacre Noir evil detection cut in, seconds before Jemalas left. What does it all mean ? I didn't know but suggested to Zarth that we go back to the ship. And so we did, we got changed back in to our traveling clothes of course and after half a days ride we where back at my ship " The Rainbow". It was noticeable that Jemalas and co. had been here since some of the warding spells I had put up, to stop thieving had completely shattered and all of his and the ladies belongings had gone. Fine, I thought to myself, if that's the way it is, then that's the way it is. I said to Zarth, that I was planning to go back to Menevia, and if he was interested in meeting Father Sylvan, to further his education. And so the following morning I set sail for Menevia, and after a day of un eventful sailing we arrived there, got the horses out and made ready to go to Vanshire. Upon arrival I showed Zarth where I lived, and said that he was welcome to stay as long as he liked, showed him the upstairs room but warned him not to put anything in the wardrobe, as for some strange reason, articles that are put in the closet, kept on disappearing. I suggested that we go to the Angry Porcupine to catch up on the latest news, have a bite to eat, and discuss his future. Zarth as always, was agreeable to this and we made on foot to the now (in)famous Inn. Upon entering, Ed nearly threw himself at me with joy, now I thought this is a different Edwynster, I wondered what changed, Elfiran would be most amused to see such a jolly Ed, and I wondered if they, Balefire, Elfiran, Tenaka and all, where back from Oblivion yet. "Ed" I said "it's good to see you to, how's things at the Inn ? " He told me that things had been quiet and basically peaceful, only the arrival of one stranger, in the last few weeks. We made ourselves comfortable, ready to enjoy some of Elfiran's better wine and a Barrel of Elfiran's finest for Zarth, and I explained what had occurred in the past weeks with me and the Soverians, concluding with Jemalas's surprising departure. During all this I noticed a lone women by the fire place, obviously lost in thought, I asked Ed, " who's the Lady in black ?" " Ahh" he rumbled "that's the stranger I mentioned earlier" "Hmm, looks like she's had hard times" I volunteered, " she is, well rather preoccupied" Ed said, as an answer to my statement. Zarth too, had noticed her and was looking intently at her as if he expected some movement, that didn't happen. "Zarth" I said " why don't you go over and invite the Lady to join us ?" -- Regards Mea /\ /vvvvvvvvvvvv \----------Sacre-Noir------------------------. `^^^^^^^^^^\^ /ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ \/ +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | "Vegemite" the power of love... | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | "I didn't do it, it wasn't my fault" | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ |Homepage: http://geocities.com/TimesSquare/Labyrinth/6161/ | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
