Welcome to Gaia! ::

ALina looked up and gasped. "you did it! what are you? who are you? oh Dupre! im so happy to see you!" she runs over to him and hugs him. "where we are? we are in another world, one that you can get to with a portal stone. what do you mean that i collapsed. you mean taht my body is still there? oh, Light! i didnt know that! oh whats going on? what are they doing? this...this...person said things to me, about a ring, that will heal me, from what i dont know, and you!! it will cut off the bond between you and the Dark One! wont that be wonderful?? it will also protect me from Forsaken as long as i wear it! its a sa'angreal! but i dont know how to tell them of it..."

"i have told htem already, they know, do not worry child, things will be fine."
"thank you! oh...my..." ALina grabed her head and leaned agianst Dupre "we...we should go into the barn. we cant leave this area, or i will fade or die, or somthing..."

Mercury was quite to the point of anger. Things were bad enough, but now this....oh the Keeper was going to strangle that Forsaken personally with her own hands when she found out where the Forsaken was. Half joking, Mercury talked to Alina.

"Well Alina, I hope you have an answer for this, because otherwise you're going in there without him."

"Truly? They're in the Tower? I would never have figured that out by myself..."

Mercury was very sarcastic. When she'd gone to comfort Alina, she had not bargained for all this. Perhaps it would have been alright once the Forsaken had stopped using Compulsion...if only she'd left then. But staying and seeing Alina pass out brought this...which Mercury wasn't in a mood to face.

An erupting Dragonmount, avalanches, the Amyrlin's new Warder ending up in a sleep till Creator knew how long, runaway Accepted, Compulsion, Forsaken, and not to mention almost being killed had taken away her patience. She would thorougly enjoy this trip from the Tower...assuming she ever got to go back to Azalea. "If he has to come too..fine...but you need to guide me. Can you give a hint as to where Dupre is? Besides that he's in the Tower please." The Keeper began to calm herself down or else they'd never be through with this. She motioned Wolf back through the still open Gateway and waited.

((hawk dear, Dupre's body isnt in the room anymore! sweatdrop stressed ))

He holds Alina up, "Yes your body is still there and I'm guessing mine is too. So there is a ring that can heal you and sever the link between me and the Dark One and protect you from the forsaken. Thats amazing." He nods and picks her up in a cradling type position and carries her into the barn and sits her down on a square bale and sits down next to her, he puts his arm around her. "You'll be alright Mercury help you the best she can."

"I doubt mine is in any condition to handle it as well as normally, but in any case I'm used to exhaustion. I can deal with it easily; I've learned.

You were once Aes Sedai...so you are Oathbound. If you give me your word, as a former woman of the Tower, that you will leave my body when all this is over, and that you will try not to pass my channeling limit-though you shouldn't need to-then...fine. If you keep your word on these two conditions, and get Alina and Dupre back to us safely, you can use my body."

To be honest Mercury was rather unsure about all of this. But in any case, Hawk and Wolf knew how to handle things if they got out of hand. Her body was too exhausted to do anything overly dangerous, so in case the..thing..talking to her went mad, it would be relatively better than if she was at full power. Which meant that her body would collapse from exhaustion, so even if the woman tried to keep it, she could get it back.
