Good good, you're doing exceltent! NO! Don't tihnk about the elgs, for the alst time. There you go, think about soemtihng else, like where your going not how you're getting there.
And presto! Familiar surroundings! Doing good for a first time. I had a luittle boy once who kept running me into walls....
They kept moving, climbing steadily up and up and up. The air fianlly lost all traces of decay, but Morelle feared it clung to his fur like a desease. hey! Look out! Don't you see...
A suddenlt very frightened Warren spun around, stepped on the creatures tail, and imiddiatly tripped himself up, falling flat on his rump in the wake of the creatures yelp. "What in the world," he was still holding that lock hair. He was trying to find a way to trace it back to it's owner, adn therefore possibly fuind the one who destroyed the wizen tower, though he had other ideas about that. He looked down to see a fox squirrel.
"Gees, what are you doing here?"
Oh yes. This were running smoothly.

"Warren you'll never believe this! Its Eliot! I'm inside Morelle's body! isn't that crazy! Listen, everything else that happened between us....whatever that was I donno. But forget it! I need your help! there is this really creepy guy downstars...I mean far, far downstars, okay maybe its more like, downstares and out a bit, well a lot, but thats not the point. there's this guy and he has my body in a cage! AND he set this corpes thing on me! it was this dead guy walking around and clawing at me. So i'm all bruised up and covered in puke! its really gross! He's really crazy and i'v ebeen thinking that he should probably be...you know...ride of? I think he's dangerouse. So By the By could you go take my body out of a cage that has no lock? you are a wizard after all right?"
Why was she talking so fast? and being so open....

Heh, sorry. My bad, I don't really get much of a chance to talk...
"Um, look Mr. Warren. We hate to trouble you but as I...uh, Eliot said we need your help."
Warren sat dumfounded, looking at a foxsquirrel that stood between his legs as he saton the floor, one hand raised in a gesture of shooing....he blinked, coughed..."I beg your pardon?"
What the hell was this, was he feeling all right? He felt his pulse at the base of his neck, pcoked at his lymph nodes. "Mabe I had a brain hemorage, and now I'm halucinating...

"GAH! No! Warren really please, this guy smight to horrible things to my body! and then I have to help Morelle find his mistress' kids!"
Se reached out with her own small paws and dugged on Warren's hand. Urging him to follow her.
"Common! please i can't do it on my own ...(did I really just say that?)...Warren, really, this guy is creepy. If for nothign else, jsut come to see what i mean about this guy! And then while your at it you can get my body! Warren! COME COME COME COME COME COME COME COME COME" each was word was accented by a tug on his hand.
Jeeze do you always talk like that? Man I feel like I was blathering! He's not going to take me seriously after this...

I hink you might be pushing this, Eliot. The man isn't used to talking animals....
"I'm carzy. I have to be." He could actually feel the little paws on his hand. He rolled his eyes. "Okay, "eliot" I'll follow you. But then Leave me alone. If I am going to go insane, I don't wanybody to see, even if you are a figmenent of my imagination." He stood up, using the wall at his back as an anchore. He straightend his robe, cleared his throat. "Carry on."

'Oh thank god!" Eliot jumped to her and Morelle's feet. "Come on this way!"
She ran off, still amazed at the endurance that this animal had, she bounded on with out misisng a breath. Checking every so often to make sure Warren was beind her, tey went lower and lower into the castle.
Sooner than she expected she came to the narrow tunnel.
"Not much further now." She hoped she wasn't exauhsting Warren but she was starting to worry about her body...she didn't want that creepy man touching it.
Begining to breath hard from constant running she finally came to the six doors. The stench was still disgusting. she had hoped she would be used to it.
She looked back as Warren came up behinf her "Uh..you may want to stop bretahing or something, the smell is pretty bad. She then wne to the seond door, and pushe dher way in.

Warren followed. And followed, and kept following. By the time they got to where the fox squirrl was leading him, well he was quite exaughsted. He had been an ill child, and his body was week even as a wizrd. Unfortunatly, this meant tht he was brething heavily when he reached the gastly air of the six door hallway. Breathe, gag. breathe, gag.
Maybe he wasn't dreaming...he was quite certain he couldn't think up a smell that bad. "Hey..." pant "Wait up..." He followed Eliot into the second door.

Eliot and Morelle walked into the room where her body was being held ina cage with no lock, no door. She walked right up to the cage and looked in.
"See? I wasn't lieing. There is my body. I'd like to have it out of that cage. Can you help me?"
She looked up (far up) into Warren's eyes, making herself as cute as possible.
"I know I'm not the friendliest person...I'm just not used to people I guess. But please, i could really use your help."
She stepped insed the cage and looked at her own body.
"I've never looked at myself this way before...It feels so odd. I didn't know i looke dlike that...Am I really that short?"

"So it's more of a you leave me alone, I'll leave you along thing than anykind of world wide alliance together. and that's fairly interesting about your eyes though. usually that glittering of gold has a different meanign entirely to me."
A slight chuckle.
"And aquatic elves..interesting. the only semi intelligent races we had that were aquatic are the now exinct, virtually, kedge and the aquatic goblins. I might want to visit this Andal sometime. though I think my sword would probably get more use than my tongue there."
Then a more thoughtful look.
"It's not strange, not for Drow. working in shadows, holding the line in silence and stealth. Rogues are past master as inflitration and assassination. if he is coming back he'll try sneaking in. but I now that, and he knows I know that. so this place will be hard for him to get into even then."

Wow...she really ahd been telling the truth...he'd have to study this "morelle" character. He bent down, looking into the cage. "Yeah, you really are that short." He isnpected the abrs. Not complicated things...just reinforced steal. HOW she had been put in there in the first palces was beyong him though.
An odd look came over his face as he regarded the bruise lins all over Eliots face. She was cetainly a good looking woman, but the bruises made her look...fragile. He didn't like it.
"Okay, I ca get you out easily enough."
Dear Eliot, I would emplore that you stay here, with me, in this body until you are fully healed. Your body has taken much dmagae, Mine is healthy, and is more than capable of hosting you for a long while yet. Stay here, for a little while.

Piper had to give a soft laugh at that, nuzzling him again. Yes, the glitter of gold in the eyes for him was entirely different. For she knew how to move her eye just so that the gold in them sparked off, sometimes consciously and sometimes subconsciously. And it usually meant one of three things; she was in the mood for mischief or Malik, or she was teasing. And then a look up at him. "Oh no it wouldn't. You'd probably enjoy yourself." Another laugh. "Maybe they'd think you a moon elf." Come to think of it...Malik could actually pass for one...a rare one, but pass none the less.
"So as long as we know that he knows that we know, then we have no problems and can continue on in half relaxed states." Relaxed Kieran may look but he was ready the moment he need be. Yes that was just him...looked harmless as a puppy but when he wanted to have at you...just run. "And we aren't entirely keep to ourselves type. We can be very civil to each other, we just don't like poking into each other's business too much. Of course in more recent years that changed a bit." A smile and a nod. "And if you do decide to come to Andal, I'm sure you know you could stay with me...even if Piper didn't come with you. Besides, I'm sure you'd enjoy a trip to the Requais Peninsula and even further so into Drow land."

Eliot Visible relaxed.
"Thank you Warren. I really apriciate it. If you need help, and i can give it, I will." She watched him as he moved around the cage, isnpecting it. From time to time she saw odd looks come over his face, she didn't understand it. It was a body in a cage, not much more to it than that.
Looking at her own face she could see her her mother. In the shape of the eyes, and the curve of her lips, how th elower one was slightly larger, jsut the way her mothers had. And she saw he father, In the cut of her cheek bones. She wondered how much she looke dlike them in her Wolven form. Did she look more like her mother? or more like her father? She supposed she would never know but, she felt pride in the fact that she looked a little like each.
She didn't want to distract Warren so she didn't talk. He took out his bag of sugar, and she watched as he sprinkled granuals here and there among the bars. The granuals began to hiss and steam, emitting a powerful and disgusting funk. When Warren was satisfied she watched as he loosened some of the bars, sliding them out of place. He did this several times until there was an opening big enough for him to reach through. He carefully lifted Eliots Limp body out of the cage.
She watched as her body was cradled comfortable in his arms.
Yes Morelle Thank you. My body is in no state for my consiousness. I will stay with you.

Warren looked at the limp form now dead weight in his arms. To tell the truth, he was using up a lot of magical energie to keep himself from dropping her. He wasn't really....strong. Something he always resent his father for. Why the hell did that man have to find a cure?
He looked at the not so much a figment of his imagination. "Come on, lets get out of here before you're freind shows up. Who did you say he was anyway?" He eased out of the door, carefull not to scrape Eliots head on any walls.
Splendid, splendid, tihs was going perfectly!

Eliot followed warren out the door.
Shaking her head she replied "He never gave a name or anything. I never even saw his face he was so wrapped up in rags." The though of that man made even Morelle shiver.
"He kept telling me I had no choice, that he had seen it. He also mentioned someone named Meilikki, saying she belonged to him now to. I didn't understand anythign he said.
Eliot let him set the pace back, she knew she had tired him on her flight down. Very odd though how the creepy man knew everything...and yet he never made an apperance when she Brougth Warren in. or when he took her body away.

It took over an hour for Warren to get the girls body up from the...uh...realy low levels of the castel. He was quite exaughtsed, adn his reserve were running low. There were several times where he almost dropped Eliot, sometihng he was tryoing not to let himself do.
"Didn't I," huff puff, "tell you," groan, "not to come back here?"
Finally at ground level, he pansatkingly made his way to his room. It was sparlsy furnished. A chair, a night table, a washbasin. The only nice thing was a fourposter bed large enough for four people. It was known that wizardshad odd sleep patterns, and the Wizen tower had insited that any pracitcing wizard have a large, comfortable bed. Carefully, Warren lay Eliot down on one side, propping her head up on the single pillow. He almost fell from exaughstion.
He panted. "There, you can stay here until you're healed. You aught to be all right here..." Ten seconds later, he was flat on his face on the other side of the bed, snoring lightly.
