Subject: A the manse
"Camille ate simple trail rations when we broke camp this morning, but I believe heartier fare would not be unwelcome. I require nothing for myself," the armored newcomer said as she connected with the servant's gaze, received a nod, and stepped into the foyer.
The moon elf sighed and moved into the foyer in front of the woman. "I fear our pleasantries will have to wait. We have much to discuss with the governor, grave matters which cannot be put off. Perhaps, you can partake in your meal while we have said conversation."
Seluumiel turned from the tall human woman to face the buildings interior, waiting for the governor to make his appearance. In truth she feared she knew the outcome of any discussion, there was little choice in the matter but to face this threat. She sighed again, too much rested in the hands of a hob nob group of companions barely able to trust one another.
Selunine tessa lye
The moon priestess whispered the prayer as she awaited the governor's audience.

Subject: Soronuume
The green elf awoke from her restful trance before the first light of dawn, like all of her people she only needed but a few hours of repose. She rose slowly and began assuming the poses of her morning meditation and exercises. Monving with each breath she assumed a new pose, held it and then moved at the next breath. Soronuume lost herself in the meditative breathing. Inhale. Exhale.
She continued her exercises until Brianna called out for all to join her for a morning bath. Soronuume took a few final breaths to complete the meditation and then turned to face the Amazon, the refreshing cool waters would be a welcome beginning to the day.Trusting Xu to watch over the campsite she made her way towards the creek to join the flame haired woman.
"A morning bath would be wonderful."

Subject: Watching
The moon elf watched as brother and sister embraced. The sight of the joyful pair brought back memories of a time long ago. She had a sister once, a twin sister. But Siliveliel was dead, and there would be no reunion until she too passed from life into Arvandor. The pain of that loss still burned raw and the moon priestess bowed her head to close her eyes as it swept over her.
Trialla Tel' kaimelar Siliveliel. Trialla Tel' kaimelar seler'amin.
The whispered prayer left her lips all but silently and Seluumiel let the tide of sorrow wash over her and pass. She looked up again her features remained unreadable and serene, only her eyes held the hallowed sorrow of loss.
Exhaling softly the moon elf returned her attention to her companions and the new comers. As she took in the embracing siblings her eyes fell on the pale woman's pointed ears. The woman had elven blood. She looked to Xavier and then back to the woman, siblings one of human lineage and one of elven. There was more to the pair than what could readily be seen, of that she was certain - they would have to be watched. Seluumiel sighed again, nothing ever lacked in complexity.
Looking to Ardulace she spoke, "It would seem we can continue on our way then, yes?"

"Our goals are more the same than you realize. Breaking the power of Lolth would perhaps be the greatest service to The People. Only after the drow are broken free of Lolth's bondage can elves both dark and light repair the damages of a war that has spanned across the ages. It may well be that the salvation of all The Peoples lies together."

As Chiron followed them out of the inn Ardulace quickly switched into the drow tongue. Seluumiel nodded, she understood the dark elf's apprehension and were their roles reversed she could not say she would not do the same. Even so if they were going to work together both paladin and drowess would have to get beyond their differences.
She listened intently to the dark elf, nodding in agreement and understanding. Seluumiel walked next to Ardulace silently for a moment before turning to face her.
She responded to Ardulace in the same drow tongue."Udossta daewle ph'mzild l'toha taga dos talinth. Ulu lassrinn l'yorn d'Lolth orn'la xal tlu l'uyl'udith klath'ra ulu L'Lodias.

Ol xal al tlu nindel l'zuneerrh d'jal L'Lodias ulnen ul'naus."
Seluumiel paused a moment, but before she could say more Ardulace interjected. "I believe we have company."
The moon elf looked up to see the two women before them, and robed figure and an armored woman on horseback. Seluumiel narrowed her eyes as she looked over the pair, hoping that this would not grow violent. Nevertheless spells leapt into her mind ready to disable either should they prove hostile. Standing next to Ardulace she awaited the outcome.

Seluumiel nodded at Ardulace's response. In truth she had expected as much.
Continuing on next to the woman she replies. "Quentarlye quena'ai en' sina. Nir'gwaith dura tanya niasa n'nae n'ala Tel' IIlythiiri natule Tel'gothrim. Am' lye anta'rin lye noste en' Tel' Olin en' Sehanine vee' Tel' Alata en' Corellon. Ya na'a'quen mani nae'demade ri' kware e' olin?"

Subject: Seluumiel
As they made their way to the governor's home Satya said very quietly and plainly to Seluumiel,"You make a great leader and I am honored to have found myself in your company."
The moon elf stared at the copper skinned woman, studying her with sapphire eyes. She had not expected that. Satya had an admirable code of honor and she found herself growing to respect the woman. Whomever the people that bore her were they deserved admiration.
"Thank you Satya, I too am honored. Should we have the time someday you will have to tell me of your people."
As made to continue on to the Governor's she noticed Ardulace lagging behind. Realizing the sign for what it was she excused herself from Satya and fell back to stand beside the drowess. There were matters of The People to discuss. Seluumiel looked up into the dark elf's half elven disguise for a moment and then began, once again her native tongue danced on her lips.
"Uma quentaea en' lle nyara en' Tel'Quessir ar' Mori'Quessir alye' triallien?"

Seluumiel watched the interaction of Ardulace and Xavier in silence. As their conversation drew to an end she rose from her seat. It was high time they were on their way to the Governer's. The moon elf looked to each of her companions and nodded.
"As Ardulace suggested, we should meet with Castor. If there are no further matters to discuss here might I suggest we make our way now."

Subject: Soronuume
Soronuume accepted the offered tea from Brianna nodding her thanks. She leaned back against the tree and inhaled the liquid's pungent earthiness.
"Much obliged Brianna," the wood elf replied. "I will remain on the forest floor, I prefer its gritty comfort."
As the night passed she helped herself to a few of the roasted vegetables. She would have preferred them raw and freshly plucked from the earth, but nonetheless it was much better than anything conjured from magic. Xu lay beside her, the panther had already eaten and had no interest in cooked meat. Soronuume watched her new companions and the dragonettes and smiled.

Subject: Seluumiel
Seluumiel watched Chiron and Satya cooly as they spoke of the need to return to the house. She took a sip of water and listened to them each in turn.
Gazing at the human warriors she replied "In all our dealings with this phantom house we must tread with great caution. It may well do us good to investigate the sight of the place again, but let us not forget the capricious nature of that house. Remember that the building nearly faded away with Ardulace and Chiron still inside, and you Satya were trapped inside for a time as well. I for one do not relish the thought of finding myself prisoner to another world, and becoming prisoners ourselves will not do the people of Leaphaven any good."
The moon elf paused to take another sip of water before continuing. "Regardless there are too many coincidences lining up for any of this to be a coincidence. I do agree, we should meet with the Governor before making any decisions. He knows more of this land than any of us."
Pausing a moment she smirked, "And Satya, though I do agree with her, it was Ardulace who suggested reinforcements not I."

Xavier coughed a bit, choking on his food. He spluttered. "What? Tiamat? How is that creature involved in this?"
Seluumiel nodded to the pale man, "Sadly she has much to do with this. You will remember the book we found in the house 'Five colors, five heads is all I know of your fate.' Taimat possesses five heads and is worshiped by the evil colored dragons, draconic reptilians, and even some humans. There are cults to her here in Unther. It may well be that these cults were responsible for the appearance of the phantom house, there is much to consider."
Ardulace continues to nibble at her breakfast, then cocks one eyebrow in surprise at the moon elf's announcement. "Tiamat? Well, that certainly does complicate matters. We may have to content ourselves with trying to seal the portals or banishing the house back whence it came, and hope that she does not involve herself directly in this matter."
After considering the matter for a moment more she adds, "Some reinforcements might not be a bad idea either."
"You speak soundly Ardulace," Seluumiel replied. "Though first we must find what called the house to this world. I suggest that we begin with the cults of Taimat in Unther."

Topic: Of Dragons and Men.
Subject: Legend and Lore
Selunine let Trillion lead her off to sit down. Without a focus the magics that allowed her eyes to pierce the boundaries of time had drained her, and it would be some time before she regained what had been lost to the spell. In the mean time there were grave matters at hand.
Her mind traced back to the last moments before she left the Misty Isle. At the tower doorways with mist swirling around them Arianna had tried to stop her journey to Shrie. The mighty Aos Si seeress had forseen the scorching return of the dragons, and it seemed that her vision would come to pass. She had come to Shrie to save this world from Melios and the draconic onslaught, but more and more she began to wonder if her quest was doomed. Had she been mistaken in leaving the lands of her people? Would she ever return?
The fey enchantress sighed. This land held so many peoples and the deserved a chance, the deserved to know what had been forseen. It was for this that she left her home, and for this alone she had come here. She had been unable to watch the world burn and do nothing, and now was the time to act. Selunine looked up to Trillion, her only true companion in this strange world. It was time the woman learned of what had been seen.
She touched the celestial woman's hand and began with a soft intensity. "It is well that you pledge to stand against the power of Melios, perhaps others will follow your lead. The return of the Scaly One is all but eminent. Alone we will be consumed, but if we all stand together perhaps we can hold back the onslaught."
Selunine paused for a moment to look directly into Trillions eyes. Her own violet eyes burned with incandescent light as she continued. "What should have been forgotten has been remembered. The people of Shrie have raised temples to Melios and monolithic testaments of his glory have been erected. This heralds the end of Shrie, the continent cannot withstand another war of Dragons and Men."
"I too have vowed to stand against the Scaly One. Before I met you it was forseen that the dragons would return and they would scorch this world. Since that knowledge came to me I have worked to stop the onslaught. I have sought others to join me in this dire quest. Trillion we have not known one another long but I believe together we can find others of like mind, and perhaps we can save the forsaken land of Shrie."
The enchantress turned from Trillion to gaze at the desecrated city of Badon. "I have called on great power to pierce the veil of time. The searing blast that consumed Badon has been called before. The breath of Melios, it's history is a wholly black thing..."
Selunine's voice begins to grow distant as she recounts her visions of the past.
When Melios was unhappy, it was rumoured that from his mouth he shot a massive gout of energy that was able to destroy mountains and carve valleys.
Long ago, there was a similar event that happened in the world. However, this was in the time when the world wasn't quite as developped, and it was inhabited by plainsmen who believe in cultic rituals. They were very connected to nature, and had treated it with respect. Anything that happened was because nature willed it to be so.
However, new people came. These people treated nature as though it didn't exist. They wouldn't believe that the life was granted by nature. They cut down trees, burnt the fields, killed the animals. This was unacceptable.
The plainsmen decided that they would kill the newcomers in their sleep. However, as they were sneaking, some claim that the largest of the three moons fell from the sky that night, landing directly in the middle of the newcomers camp. The explosion was huge, and it decimated the newcomers and plainsmen both, leaving a gigantic burn where the camp had been, and in much of the surrounding countryside.
In the time of the great war between Dragons and Men, right before their imprisonment, a secret sect of mages, called Nekros, was formed as a neutral group to survive for themselves. This group, however, was very offensive, attacking anyone who came near the group. Their motto was "Death before Defeat", and a preferred tactic was to send one of their number out to join a group of soldiers who seemed to be advancing, and casting this spell. A common trait of all of these members of Nekros was that whenever they were about to cast the spell, they would fall in to a coma. The soldiers would try to find out what was wrong, only to be engulfed by the spell, and being burnt to a crisp.
There is a large plain called "The foot of Sacae" which was a central part in the war between Dragons and Men. On one day, there was a massive bloodbath... with what some guess to be 10 of these castings going off simultaneously. The locals who moved there after the war was completed said that they feel like something is wrong with them being there. Almost like the ground is awakened by some supernatural force. And at night, you can see a faint green glow in some locations along that plain.

At Chiron's approach the dark elf nodded and replied, "Perhaps that would be best."
Seluumiel watched the other priestess move to the opposite end of the table as Chiron Po pulled up a chair beside her. She and the dark elf had much to discuss. Seluumiel hoped the paladin would grant them the peace to do so. To her knowledge, not since before the elf wars had faerie elf and dark elf walked side by side, perhaps together they might find some path to undo the power of the Spider Queen.
The moon elf nodded to Chiron as he took the seat by her side, "Greetings Chiron Po, I trust the night has proved...enlightening."
"Was there anything interesting in the books the Governor provided?" the paladin asked as he reached for a wedge of melon.
Seluumiel nodded to Chiron and faced the group as a whole. She began to address the group as whole. "I have learned much from the Governor's book and we have much to discuss. I believe that Castor's suspicions are correct, Taimat is at the core."

Soronuume nodded to Devon, she had not eaten since daybreak and would welcome a meal not magically conjured. It had been a long day and she was looking forward to a night underneath the stars learning what she could of her new companions.
"The meal is much obliged Devon, many thanks. Come join us." Turning to Brianna she added, "If there is enough for us all I too would love a cup of tea."

As Selunine finished her casting the power of her spell filled her. The magic that coursed through her veins pulsed with power and she vibrated with its rhythm at the very core of her being. She closed her eyes and felt her body lift from the ground.
Her eyes opened to see not the field before her but rather swirling mists thick and impenetrable. She reached out into the mist with her mind and slowly she parted the mists of time. The ages passed before her and through her as visions of the past moved before her sinking deep into her mind. As the last of the visions sunk into the enchantress the mists returned once again swallowing the past in their swirling obsfucation.
Selunine closed her eyes again and as the power of the spell left her she softly sank to the ground. Standing she opened her violet eyes and gasped. The fey looked up to the conflagration that had been Badon and shook her head, the power that had consumed the city had not been invoked since the war of Dragons and Men. Realization that Arianna's vision would come to pass overcame her and she gasped again stumbling forward.
Trillion's hand caught her, in her trance she had not even noticed the woman's approach. Grasping Trillion's arm in return she looked into the other woman's eyes with the intensity of her visions still emanating from her own.
"My friend, events most grave have come to pass. The conjured magics that seared Badon have not been called since the wars of Dragons and Men five centuries past. Its history is painted with chaos and destruction. It is the breath of Melios."
Selunine paused a moment to close her eyes, continuing her voice took on a far away tone. "What should have been forgotten has been remembered. What has been seen shall become. What should not be is..."

Seluumiel filled a small bowl with seasonal berries and black pepper. She had not realized how hungry she was, it had been too long since her last meal. After adding a dallop of honey she popped one of the berries in her mouth savoring the marriage of sweet and spice.
Xavier enter the room with his usual gusto, it seemed a night of rest had done the pale man some good. She nodded to him in greeting and moved to stand near the disguised drowess.
Ardulace turned to her, "You wished to speak of certain matters? What would you know?"
The moon elf nodded, "I asked the innkeeper to send for you last night. I had hoped to discuss your meeting with the she dragon further. After studying the mayor's book I am convinced that the master the dragon spoke of is in fact Taimat, but perhaps some discussion can further illuminate our quarry. I will go into further detail of what I have learned when all are present."
She paused to take a sip of spring water and then regarded the taller woman, "I had also hoped to discuss matters of The People, matters which should be discussed in private."
