Topic: Despair: Of Life, Of Love, Of Death
Subject: A touch of spirit
Ielei dismounted from her horse, patting the black mare's mane as she grasped the equine's reigns. The exotic elf stood tall and striking, a wild mane of pale silver curls fell nearly to her lower back framing features finely sculpted from smooth copper. Her almond shaped eyes peered out into the township, deep pools of indigo, nearly black. A sleeveless tunic of unbleached linen fell to her knees, cut low an ample expanse of copper flesh lay exposed. Weighted down by a belt at her waist, the diaphanous tunic split at her hips. She wore form fitting grey leggings tucked into dust covered brown boots. Moving with a languid grace she led the ebony mare as she made her way towards the inn. The building structures of this time never ceased to amaze her, in the world she remembered the architecture would ebb and flow with the seasons, born of the land it would so return to the land. Now buildings jutt out of the land, near permanent edifices of modernity. Ielei regarded the grimy inn and the eclectic dwarf that stood before her.
She let the energetic halfling and the local human engage the dwarf, bartering for food and lodging. Her pointed ears twitched at the mention of water as payment, a thing worth more than gold. Her memories were full of landscapes, lush and green, sweet with the water of life. They were in a desert now, what more could be expected. There was a reason water was worth more than gold here, she had no intention of giving up even a drop of water. Ielei's eyes widen and burn with rage as Nuar not only admitted they had water from the mountains, but considered paying the swindling dwarf with it. Foolish child! She couldn't lie, and not even she would have revealed that much. As he came over to the rest of the group to further discuss using water as payment she shoved past him, leading her horse behind her. As she slowly made her way to the dwarf, essence began to flow through her and she burned with ecstasy. Gathering the rising essence she spun flows of spirit around herself, the matrix wove itself around her lending to her an air of power, majesty personified. Focusing, Ielei spun the remaining essence around the dwarf into a complex tapestry, dazzling and beguiling. With a smile she took a step closer to the dwarf, reaching into her purse she pulled out a golden coin weighing about two ounces.
"We certainly don't want either of the Scott brothers to hear you purchased water from us," Ielei addressed the odd dwarf, her smile never fading. Lifting the gold coin she takes a step onto the patio and speaks in a soothing voice "I think this should cover food, lodging, and care for the horses for a night, don't you?" Her indigo eyes stare into the dwarf's dark eyes awaiting a response.

Stepping out from the truck Sapa caught her breath as police cruiser a flew through the air towards an old woman. Before she could react Kerry caught the projectile in her telekinetic grasp, smashing it harmlessly into the pavement. She nodded to Kerry as she stepped past her to assess the scene. Panic stricken civilians ran in every direction and the SWAT team could be seen thrown about and unconscious.
"I am going to take a look into the bank," she said to the others. Focusing her attentions on the bank Sapa began to reach out with her mind. Tendrils of thought pulled her awareness from the street and into the bank. Awareness of the street faded from her senses, replaced instead with the bank interior.

Topic: Of Dragons and Men.
Subject: A brave new world...
Selunine returned to awareness, a bright light coaxing her back. The soothing caress of a licking dog tickled her face. Every inch of her ached. Slowly she opened her eyes and lifted a white hand to pet the small dog that licked her face. White sparks of pain shot through her body as she sat up, and she bit her lip to fight it off. Feeling the presence of her familiar wrapped around her bicep she lifted her other hand to caress the snake's silvery head. More waves of pain met her as she stood, but she ignored them. With a slow calm she took in her surroundings. She stood amidst wooden wreckage in some forest, somewhere. She would discover just where she was just soon enough. Reaching to her side she opened one of the magic pouches hidden in her belt and removed a small phial of a cool blue liquid. Removing the crystal stopper Selunine lifted the phial to her lips and drank its contents. A soothing coolness met white pain and faded into a gentle warmth as bruises faded and small cuts knit themselves back together. She was still sore and in pain, but a bit better off for ware.
Her sodden clothes clung to her body and her long silver hair twisted into saturated ringlets sticking to her. A trickle of magic flowed through her as she flicked her fingers. Tiny tendrils of magic ran along her body drying her skin and clothes, smoothing wrinkles and running the water and knots out of her hair.
"That's much better, don't you think?" she said as knelt next to the small, furry dog. Movement was still painful, though not so much as before she would still need to seek healing when she found some sign of civilization. "Well my friends, let us see what we can find here."
Selunine began to pick her way through the wreckage, she kept nearly all her possessions tucked away on her person save her blankets, bedroll, and the like and even they were woven with a touch of magic. Sadly her horse was most likely dead, and she whispered a prayer for the creature's spirit. Before making her way into the new world perhaps she could salvage something from the rubble. And so the so the fey elf picked about the wooden shrapnel, whispering a soothing word now and again to Lilu or the strange small dog that found her here.

Topic: Despair Q&A
Subject: Ielei Alma Nimueh
The beautiful enigma, Ielei Alma Nimueh, joined the group journeying through the mountains alone on horseback. Though quiet and reserved, she can often be seen having conversations with herself, every word in the lilting tongue of the elves. Occasionally while tending the campfire she would fall into song, mournful wordless songs in a haunting voice.
All too beautiful, even for an elf, she stood tall with exotic features gracefully carved of copper skin. Smooth skin and youthfulness belied the age apparent in her deep indigo eyes. Much of the world seemed foreign to her, and she often marveled at what was everyday to most. Although she never lied, the elf could twist words with the most seasoned manipulators and those often around her soon learned to pay careful attention to each word.
(Question, are the Gifted hidden in secrecy as in the modern world of witchcraft, or are they more known of in this world?)

Topic: Iceland Government Fails
Subject: Scary Times
Scary times indeed. Skari, good for you for keeping a positive outlook. The desperation of the global climate is pretty terrifying, it's one economic travesty after another. Hopefully we'll learn that we need to keep our excesses in check. Capitalism has run the global economy unchecked, resulting in a near global depression. Combine that political dissent and we've got a recipe for an extremely urgent situation. We've needed a change in our direction for a long time coming, and hopefully we can turn this international travesty into the catalyst.

Topic: Of Dragons and Men.
Subject: Stepping
"Selunine, nobody who has left this tower has returned. That is for a reason. We have more than an ocean guarding us. Our archsages of past have woven powerful enchantments, making this island impossible to get too. You choose to stay, or you take pity on those doomed to die anyway?"
Selunine looked into the other woman's eyes. None had ever returned, she had not considered that. There had to be a way back. This tower, this island had been her home for centuries. Could she forsake it all? She had been prepared to face decades, even a century, away from her home. How could she face all the ages alone? She would walk the mortal world as it withered and died around her, and still she would remain. The very matrix of power that protected her people also held them in a prison. Yet others had left the island, perhaps some still remained on Shrie. Perhaps together they could find a way back.
Arianna sighed. "What I have seen should not be known by those who live here. However, since you seem focused on leaving, I shall tell you. They are returning, daughter. The dragons. They will scorch the world. But we, we will survive. Do you forsake that protection to leave?"
Selunine walked past Arianna and stepped into the open doorway, mist swirled around her, its cooling touch soothing her skin. If the dragons were to return the world would be ripped asunder once again. She would not sit back and watch. The power of Melios and the dragons would be held at bay, she would find others. And then she would find her way back. Turning she faced the masked woman, a gust of wind tossing silver strands of hair about.
Breathing deeply she addressed Arianna, "I cannot watch the world burn. Though forgotten, we are still part of the world. We have not abandoned it, and I will not turn my back now in this time of great need. But I promise you this Mother, I will return. I will find my way home." Turning away she faced the mist shrouded docks and stepped out from the doorway. A single tear ran down her cheek, she inhaled deeply and took another step to the docks. Turning once more Selunine gazed up at the tower and then into Arianna's eyes before returning her attentions to the ships ahead. She would return. She would.

I love it! I'll go ahead and start working up a gifted character, blend up some invocations with the sight. Still would like to play some sort of fey character, any formating rules for that? If not I can work up something else.

Topic: Of Dragons and Men.
Subject: A test of will. An inquiry.
Selunine gazes forward into the masked face of the other woman, her violet eyes tracing its porcelain contours as she awaited Arianna's response.
"Selunine, darling, you are misguided. The outside world is changing, for sure, but not ours, therefore we do not intervene. Melios was a figure of great power, so it is only natural that power is respected an honored. It has been logged, and it will be logged when the citizens of the otherworld destroy them. Now though, I ask you to return to your studies." With Arianna's words she could feel the cool touch of magic grasp at her and run along her mind like water droplets, fading harmlessly into ether, like all of the fey elves Selunine had great resistance to the powers of enchantment. Tell tale traces of magic lingered revealing the pattern of a suggestion. Arianna had attempted to keep her here with magic. Why was she so desperate keep her in the tower? Over the ages there had been others who had walked beyond the mist, they had been a precious few but there had been others. The grandmaster's violet eyes narrowed, peering through the mask and boring into her.
"You seek to disobey me, my child? Everything you know you have learned here. Would you show it disrespect by throwing it away, going to a world of corruption and hate?" Arianna's words cut into her as sure as any blade of cold iron. She was not abandoning her home. It might take her decades, perhaps even a century, but she would return to the mists and the towers."Well my child? What is it? Your home, or the world of corruption?" Breathing deeply Selunine raised her head, her own violet eyes meeting those of Arianna.
"Why must it be one or the other?" she spoke with a calm softness. "I do not turn my back on my home and I never will, but I cannot turn my back on the world. I have watched wars tear Shrie asunder and done nothing. I have watched men rise and fall and done nothing. But I cannot watch the return of Melios and do nothing. That cannot be allowed to pass. Tell me, my lady, why is it so important that I remain within the tower? What have you seen of the mortal world that I have not?" Her last words escape her lips not with tones of arrogance, but rather humility. Arianna possessed great knowledge, this she knew, perhaps she might even share it.

Topic: What is Real?
Subject: "There IS one truth and that is there are only perceptions"
Have to say, I'm a fan of that statement. It allows for all these differing veiws, and wonderfully points out that not one of us has the whole answer. When it all boils down we (people) are tiny little specs in this universe, and we know absolutely nothing (big picture nothing, we know a lot about the little picture stuff). It's pretty humbling and freeing.
