Welcome to Gaia! ::

((that's nice, i think i've done OS 25 man on my pala. Anyways i turned him into a tank now he got def cap. At moment he got 556 def, but not many epix on him though. Well just a couple, if it include weapon shield,libram,neck and rings. I wonder if its possible to immigrate from a pve to a pvp realm?Hmm ok, who will RP Merc's part? ))

Mercury's mind was calmer, but still reeling from her meeting with Romvian. She looked at Alina, and paused. Then she decided that upon receiving Romvian's message when she next entered the Dream World Alina would come to know or guess at events on her own soon enough. She might as well tell her.

"You won't like what you're hearing. Romvian has the Amyrlin. Temporarily." She muttered the last part so sharply, it seemed a threat to him if he did otherwise. "He will return her to us in exchange for some conditions. One of them is that we stay out of Tel'ar'an'hoid. He requested I leave you a message to that effect in your dream orb; so don't be surprised when it comes next time you rest.

I would say we do not particularly have a choice, given that Light blasted mist of his that keeps poisoning us. He also warned that our interference would cause not only us, but the wolves harm as well." She paused here, waiting to see how well Alina was taking the information. After all, she had only just been raised, and in other circumstances she would not have burdened her so.

"For the present, there is not much we can do Alina. Save for two things. First, I received an anonymous note claiming to have the antidote to Tel'Dashar. But its very old, and some of the herbs listed are not known to us. I left it to the Browns and Yellows to cipher. Secondly, to ascertain what exactly Romvian wants. He claims to get nothing by trying to defeat us. So if it is not the Tower, then what does he want? Perhaps then we can understand how to combat him.

Also, Hawk was telling me of the messengers from Illian. They are further complicating the situation. For now, please ask the wolves to be on guard. Dupre as well. Do you have any suggestions? Any thoughts are welcome."

Her mind was turning over matters. She had to speak to Hawk; the messengers had asked for him, and she wasn't sure they could alleviate him of that request. She would have to meet the messengers.

((hey guys! Ty Hawk! my computer was out for three days :/ and yea you can transfer from PVE to PVP now! its really nice smile thinking of lvling on a PVE server and then transfering razz 550 is the def cap for warrios dunno about palas tho surprised and Skill > gear! Had a PRO birthday my best friend (Joecatshoe razz ) gave me CSS for my birthday :> downlaoding it now!))
Alina took this news better then she had thought. She knew that the Wolf Dream was dangerous. but to stay out completly?
And the Amyrilin... taken.. that was why she hadn't seen her about. This was most troublesom, but you have to get down to business right away. It was never good for her to let her mind wander and dwell.
"So this will effect everyone? Not just us? Staying out of the World of Dreams all together... that is just impossible. I will not give that up. Giving that up is like giving up my right paw! Most Yellows refuse to learn about herbs, we would need someone who knows herbs better, maybe they will know the unknown herbs under a different name?" she tapped her lip thoughtfully, going through the list of names comming into her head and discarding each one.
"we will need someone to disguse themselves and talk to a...a.. Wisdom or whatever in some city. That might help. That is all i have at the moment Keeper."
She turned to Kakashi, "Gaiadin do you have any ideas? This is a hard situation we are in, but we have been through worse."

Having listened to the whole story in silence, his mind was racing for reasons, explanations, and probability that it was all completely true and why. Staying out of the Wolf Dream. The Amyrlin Seat taken. Vague threats and possible troubles thrown at them by the Romvian person. It all was enough to make the hair at the back of his neck stand on end, though he remained as outwardly calm as if he had been a Warder all his life instead of a short while. He was still deep in thought when Alina turned to him with a question. For a moment he didn't acknowledge her, but then blinked and shook his head solemnly. "I know nothing of herbs and just as much of those who do know them. My only thought, as useless as it may be, would be to find this Romvian and see him dead."

Romvian, with his uncanny sense of timing, had come to Darien's room, accompanied by Oryzen. The guard was dismissed and the vial put away. She didn't bother asking how he knew that Darien would be in a cooperative mood.

Sure enough, he became concious a few moments after their entry. He looked at them, and for a moment a thoughtful look crossed his features, before quickly fading into one of frustration. "It hasn't stopped. Why Oryzen...."

She sat down at the foot of the bed, her legs crossed. "I told you, I can at best control it...and only if it doesn't trigger. So far as a cure, I'm still searching. Perhaps the answers we're looking for are here, or in the Tower. In any case, it would still require a large amount of Power."

"Once we finish here, the Power won't be a problem. But never mind that...the Amyrlin avoided escape because of you. Very well done, but I can't say I approve of you acting when you were in that condition. You controlled it very well a few months...why the sudden change again?" he queried, standing over Darien.

Darien scowled at the floor. "I was trying to take care of some things....and then I saw something yellow...or maybe it was golden. It kept sparkling at the corners of my vision...and my mind started screaming....flickering. I remember shouting out loud, and trying to find my way back....I think I recall somehow coming back to my room...and then it went black.

Someone gave me something to drink in the middle...I woke up, and then for some reason went to the dungeons...I remember trying to stop the Amyrlin, and somehow succeeding. Again it went black, but I was more awake then...I felt someone carry me up here...more of some liquid to drink, and here I am." He ended, and stared dismally at the bed.

Both his friends nodded, and spoke their usual words of support, before leaving him to himself. They knew he would come back to his normal self in his own time.

Nodding while listening, Kakashi sighed and shrugged at the mention of finding out what was happening in Illian through the wolves. It could be done, of course, but it would take time and likely the message in the end would be muddied. "I can certainly try to find out something of the goings on in Illian, but as Alina Sedai said, wolves tend to stay away from humans and pay little attention to the goings on of humans. To get in touch, I'd have to ask nearby wolves here to relay the questions all the way. It is likely we may get a distorted view of things there if I were to get a response at all..." He was already trying, however. Reaching out to find wolves. It was almost second nature to him now. Almost as if it had always been a part of him instead of something newly discovered. Then again, perhaps it had always been there, waiting. Useless thoughts. Focus on the task at hand!

((You guys handle the wolves; I'll work it into the RP...and till he comes back, guess I'm playing Wolf...))

Mercury paused to think a moment, before hiding a smile. "I can think of one person. Why don't you go Alina? Just change your appearance with an Illusion, and no one will be aware. You won't attract notice, and we won't have to tell any more people than we need to. Otherwise we might cause panic, and we can't afford it. As to Tel'ar'an'hoid, I have no power over your own decisions. But please be careful if you do go."

There was still darkness in him. He hadn't used it since fleeing Shayol Goul, but it was still there. Markis was standing in the woods, lost in his thoughts. Hawk was with Mercury for the moment. With any luck these strange doings would not force him to have to go back to using his dark powers; he wasn't sure what consequences they might have.

The wolf part of his mind was partially irritated, though he couldn't tell why. None of the other wolves were disturbed in the slightest, at the least the ones outside of Tel'ar'an'hoid. And he couldn't think of any reason to feel as he did. He knew it was instinct, but without any idea of what it was about, he couldn't act on it. It had been so long since he had been at the Tower, and he was impatient to get some time to talk to Mercury alone, and figure out what all had passed in his abscence. And once he knew that, he would go and make his prescence known to Clarissa. If he remembered the two womens' tempers correctly, neither of them would be pleased at him not going to see his former Aes Sedai.

Alina placed her hand on Kakashi's upper arm, and patted him in a soothing manner. She could smell his frustration and feel it in her mind, though she knew not what he was frustrated at, she knew that he was.
"Yes I guess I could go..." She was slightly shocked to hear this, and partially taken aback. Being so new to the shawl it was interesting to note that she would be asked to leave on such a mission. Though she was strong with the power, she had not used illiusions very often, but it was a skill she could easily aquire, It was only Spirit and Air after all.
"But if I am to go, I feel that I must also take Kakashi with me. He will be of much use, and I can weave a Mask around him too. I think if I keep it close enough to his actual features, and then invert the weaves no one will be the wiser..." she paused to look up at him and study him. "If I change the color of his hair, just make it a bit lighter.. and make his eyes green..that should be enough. Maybe change his nose.." she was lost in thought of what to do.
mentally shaking herself she turned back to the Keeper.
"Well it shouldn't be a problem. Relaying the message through all the wolves though, that will be trouble. They all see things so differently. Each wolf is just like a human, they see different things as important. One may think that telling us that it has rained in Illian will be the most important thing to us, because it is to her."
