"I don't know..." Vala murmured. "I haven't seen him since the battle in the grove."

"He dinnae say anything to you?" Caedmon pressed, concerned.

"No...I don't remember if he did." She looked up at Caedmon, concerned and confused. "Is somethings wrong?"

Caedmon looked at her more directly, with a quirked eyebrow. "Just a dark magician rambling aboot after ye, nauw, nothing wrong at all!"

"Oh. Right." She smoothed back a piece of hair. "Do you think he'd know who the enchanter was?"

"He'd knoo something we don't. But how will we find him?"

Vala thought a moment. "I could try calling him...he communicates through here—" she tapped her temple. "Maybe..." She looked around, biting her lip again. Master Ze'yer, where are you? We need your help.

"You two are insane! Brave, but insane!"
Liam resheathed his sword slowly, having been too slow to react before Vala rushed off. Now . . . did he go after her? Or did he give her and Caedmon time to . . . time to something? Make up? They couldn't afford to have their company splintered . . . Not with so many mysteries surrounding them . . .
A thought struck him, and he glanced around in search of Sam. "Sam? Are you all right?"

Sam sheathed his sword as well, then rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm alright. I may need a change of pants, but I'm alright." He managed a grin. "How about you?"

"Well enough. Confused." Liam sighed. Too many questions . . . "I suppose we should go after Caedmon and Miss Vala. Make sure they're still all right as well."

"Right..." Sam cast an anxious look around the dark forest. "Who do you think that was? A spirit? Sorcerer?"

"A sorcerer, I would say. Though . . ." Liam frowned, setting off in the direction the others had gone. "I suppose some sort of spirit would be a possibility. Still, he seemed human."
|

Sam followed, a hand on his sword. "That is possible...I hope he's human. That means we can kill him."

Caedmon watched her intently as she tried to communicate. Vala's call, meanwhile, seemed to go out...and while no reply was immediate, her thoughts didn't seem to echo back hollowly...as though something took them in.

Vala pursed her lips, shaking her head. "I don't know if he heard. I hope he's alright..."

Post by Leilani Sunblade on Mar 12, 2016 3:05:53 GMT
"Even if he's a spirit, there should be a way to defeat him. All I've heard suggests there is, in any case." Hearing Vala's voice ahead, Liam sped up.

"Keep trying." Caedmon pressed, leaning forward a bit.

"Here's hoping..." Sam muttered, turning a slow circle to check the forest before entering the clearing.
Vala nodded, squeezing her eyes shut. Master Ze'yer, we need you. It's urgent. Please.

Vala. The voice sounded just like it always had. Deep, purring, almost grandfatherly. What has led you so far off your path?
|
|
|
Post by WookieeElf on Mar 12, 2016 3:38:07 GMT
Vala sighed faintly in relief. "I found him." What do you mean, Master Ze'yer?
|

Post by NightBlade on Mar 12, 2016 3:57:05 GMT
Your quest, Vala. What trouble has pulled you aside?
Caedmon's eyes perked. "He's there? Where, where is he at?"

"I don't know..." Vala murmured. We were attacked, Master Ze'yer. An unknown magic-user waylaid us twice today.

"We need him!" Caedmon said pleadingly as if hoping Ze'yer was able to hear.
I will come to you, Ze'yer replied calmly, yet with urgency. But it will take time.

Post by WookieeElf on Mar 12, 2016 4:23:40 GMT
Vala reached out with one hand to calm Caedmon down, her eyes still shut. "He's coming, don't worry, but he won't be here for a while." Thank you. Are you alright, Master Ze'yer? Is something wrong?
|
|
|
Post by NightBlade on Mar 12, 2016 4:56:31 GMT
Caedmon seemed to settle.
The trouble is not here.[/] Ze'yer replied. I will be there soon. I will right your path.

Post by WookieeElf on Mar 12, 2016 4:58:28 GMT
Thank you, Master Ze'yer. Vala opened her eyes and looked at Caedmon. "He's coming, and he said he was going to 'right our path'..."
((Gonna try and sleep soonish, kids are having a sleepover upstairs, ugh))

At the sudden cry of alarm and ensuing chaos of noise, Abia stirred. Milon continued snoring. The gypsy listened attentively, after chewing a special herbal mix his grandmother had given him before he’d wandered away from the caravan. It was meant to stave off direct magic, and it seemed to work. Though Abia wouldn’t be surprised if he hallucinated the rest of the following day. It wouldn’t be the first time his grandmother’s concoctions had gone awry. He jabbed the snoring Fool in the ribcage. Milon muttered, turned over, and began drooling. Abia snickered and took a few moments to collect a few drops in a leaf. He could wreak some amusing havoc on the Jester later.

Liam entered the clearing where Vala and Caedmon were and glanced from one to the other. "You're both all right?"

Vala flinched slightly at Liam's voice—she had been so focused on Ze'yer that she didn't hear him walk up—then turned to him and nodded. "I am," she replied. "I contacted Master Ze'yer, he said he would come help us."
