"Don't pester me about it, Morelle. I'm not in a pleasent mood right now."
He leaned on the windowframe.
"I've reached the wall, the glass ceiling...my full potential. I thought perhaps I coudl get stronger, but I can't. I can only enhance myself, create those wisps, and throw those little balls of energy."
Another growl.
"the Minotaur, Warhammer...has more power than that in his pinky finger. How can I defeat a creature that is so much stronger than me. I owe him a contest, a battle. him and that captian stained my honor when they stole whirlwind. perhaps on strength alone I can face him, but if there is magic to use...he simply outclasses me and near every way there."

He jumped up on the windoe fram, rubbing his forehead against Onyx's shoulder. He was a very understanding little creature. You always were sensitive about your strength. Even as a child you mumbled. He chittered, making happy little noises. It's not so bad, strength comes in many forms.
He barked. Do you feel degraded in the eyes of the wind?

"One particular pack had a very bad memory but had it they did, I believe it was something the labcoats tried to breed out of us." Daz smiled at the memory. "Yes, Eliot was the first of our kind, or at least that we know of, to be born naturaly, and not grown. She was born amonsgt the corn though, and sometimes I think Eliot knows quite well where she is from and like the rest of us, decides to believe in happier things."
Eliot twirled in a slow circle, and then sat down. "Yeah, I used to have one." Eliot wasn't sad though. She had mourned for her sister for a long time and decided that it would be better to remember her sister and all the good times, not that one horible day. Her sister deserved better than that.
"Not going to tell me what you said?" Kat took a tiny step forward and flicked a finger at his tail. "I could what Moonstone?" Kat hated to admit it, okay no she didn't, she loved to admit it, she was having a blast.

Roarke smiled. "Eliot is an inteligent woman. I'm happy to call her friend." He shrugged though. "All is not lost. These kinds of things have a habit of sticking around, provided it is a dominate gene of course, and not recessive." Ah biology.
Aella smiled. "Right, you told me that before. Hey, lets go outside, the rains has stopped now." And the flowers would not be in bloom for very long. Aella had never been allowed outside after it had rained, when it did that is. She didn't know what flowers looked like.
Moonstone's tail twitched rebeliously in his hands, and he backed up another step. "I told you what I was going to say." There was no way in hell he was going to repeat what he was about to say. That woudl just ruin everything.

It had seemed as if everyone had taken to themselves for the evening, or at least that's how she saw it. Kieran and Fianna were in their room taking reverie, Raziel was probably napping with them. Zahara had gone off to her own room, Malik to his own devices, Laudi to hers with Tarhu. It was one of those days. Piper? She had taken to fletching...or rather unsuccessful fletching...seemed she wasn't at her usual quick or neat pace. Hands and fingers were already sore, and a few of her fingertips were bloody from slip ups with her knife or arrow heads, or the occasional broken arrow shaft jabbing her. She just wasn't having a good day with fletching. Piper clicked her tongue as a snap resounded in the room as she broke yet another shaft. "I blame the wood..." Indeed, the wood she had found in the place...well...it wasn't too good. Seemed brittle to a point. Tossing it into her ever crowing mess on the table of wood, stone, feathers, twine, sap, and blood she gave a sigh. Enough of this, time to wander. Pushing up from the table, not bothering with the mess on her table or the blood on her hands, she took to just that.

"the wind. the wind's stength is not great, it is enduring. it can erode a mountain, but takes centuries. and how is that supposed to help me, when I owe a minotaur shaman a duel to restore my honor after they kidnapped someone I promised to protect and guide."
A glance at Morelle.
"I'm so weak compared to mom and dad it's pathetic. and this...hint, this bare glimmer of power is worse than having none at all. it's like a constant slap in the face that this is what you coudl be...and while you have a taste, you'll never be anything close to that."

Daz laughed out loud, "I think her intetligance is safe." he le himself cathc his bretah before continuing. "So tell me about this place, what is it exactly?"
"yes, yes yes yes yes!" Elito jumped to her feet and practly dragged Aella outside. She thought about waking Warren, but wasn't sure if he would appriciate that.
Kat stepped forward again until Moostone had his back up against the wall. "You're lying." She reached out again and put a finger tip on his tail. "Want to tell the truth moon?"

Laudi did not say good byes. Everyone had left, adn it was time for her to leave. About damn time too, she was getting fed up with all this nice buisness. After having made sure Raziel wouldn't remeber anything, which came from a small needle Tarhu had hidden in her toga-robe, there was nothing left to do. She left through the front door, and started walking. Tarhu, on her shoulder, was making noises.
Laudi patted her. "Did you o what Mistress showed you to do?" Tarhu oppened her hands, showing tiny cutton swabs wrapped in white cloth. "Good good, Tahru is a good little fairy." Tahru smiled and blushed with the praise.
"We have everythign we need to finish the prodject, your Excelence. We have even worked out the trans..."
"That is enough, Labcoat. Finish the prodject, and have your accomplish complete their end of the contract."
"Yes, your Excelence."
"Oh yes. Don't forget to contact our benafactor, hmmm?"
"Yes, your Excelence."

Why fight, if the person you wish to protect does not see such a weakness? Her trotted in a little circle on the window sill, sniffing here and there, looking the part of animal. I don't have any power either, he barked, it comes all from Mistress Raven. I'm just borrowing it.
Roarke swept his hand in fornt of him. "This the magi academy, the very school erected by the First Mage, the Protector, the Demi-God. The First Oracles husband, and her servant. He amde this place so that others with the gift could elarn in peace, and use their powers for the good of man, as opposed to the baine."
She stumbled as she was dragged, but laughed. They went out the back way, where the bathing pool was, and Aella started in disbeliefe. Bright coloured platns were scattered all over peeking out form cracks and fissures, out of soil, andwhere they could find a hold.
"Not really, no." His tail was visable struggling in his claws now, and he really wished it would stop. He wasn't that kind of Vah, but like his brother and his father before him, darn tail had a mind of it's own.

It was quiet...but not the peacful quiet, nor the bad things are about to happen quiet, just quiet. Though that quiet was briefly interupped by a slave who took a moment to inform her of Laudi's departure with Tarhu. Really now? Well...mages had busy scedules. Back to her quiet wandering. Yet as she passed by a window...she had to stop and walk back to it, looking out into the dim Underdark. Piper squinted, was she seeing things? Flowers didn't...or did they? She hadn't recalled seeing any down here before this place. She had to be seeing things...but for the sake of her mind...of course she had to go check it out. To the outside then to put the mind at ease. Maybe she'd finally lost it.

A very lanquid Ashlyn was lounging amuong the flowers, and content smile on her beaked face. Ah, she loved this. The smell was soothing, the colours were pleasing, and the gental rainy atmosphere soothed her old bones. Ah what a wonderful memory it was, laying in the grass in the heat of the afternoon, a blazing sun warming your back...course it wasn't her memory, her parents but it was nice all the same. She gave a happy groan when she saw Mistress Piper come out, who looked rather baffled by it all. She rolled over on her side and flicked her tail aobut lazily.

Ashlyn lazing about in...flowers. Well...that kind of proved that the flowers were real too now didn't it? Unless she was imagining Ashlyn...but then she'd really be in trouble and really crazy now wouldn't she? The air felt different too...smelled and felt like...rain. Rain, or weather in general, another thing she had grown apart from. With a slight smile she walked over to the griffin, crouching down and wiped one hand on her pants to rid it of blood before running her fingers through Ashlyn's feathers. No need to dirty the griffin's feathers, she'd have a fit. "So then...I'm not imagining that you're lying in flowers am I? And I'm not imagining the smell of flowers and rain? I thought I left all this behind on the surface."

She purred happily and kind of shook her head a bit. Why would you be imagining things? It's just rare, that's all. She rolled back onto her stomach, leaning into the free pet. Ah, that hit the spot! She bit at a snap dragon in fornt of her and ate it. Hmm, flowers were tasty. If you only eat a couple that was. Too much gave her indigestion.
"PIPER!" Two very happy imps landed on Piper's shoulders, just about making her pitch face first into the griffen. "The flowers are out, the flowers are out, the flowers are out!"
"Aren't they just so pretty?"
"We're gonna pick some for Star Flower, and then dry them and put them in her room. Think she'll like it?"
"Wee! Flowers!" The giggled.

"Apples and Oranges, Morelle. your a familiar. your power is supposed to be bound to mother. mine is not. and it's just that. I want Whirlwind to react to me like she does the minotaur. I saw it. she goes to him for support, for help. I want to be the one she comes to. I want to be the one she leans on."
Another snort and a growl.
"Is it the strength she is drawn to? the power that old bull commands? is it somethign else? I don't know. but I still owe him a battle. he fled last time. and his captian woudl not let him fight me. and then at thier lair, the Oracle stopped him. it's like they are afriad or something of me and him colliding on a battlefield."
Malik was still with Nightmare, and they were still dicussing things, and some talk about her foals and Serino and Nerian. he saw the flowers, and paid them little mind. Right now he was more concerned with something else.
"We need to go see Tarathiel. and the Oracle soon. Piper has her task to handle and me and that drow are going to have words."

"Will any the pups be able to school here? I don't kow if any of them have magical qualities but if they had a good education i think it would help them alot. He watche dhte pups playing. They were each little miracles he thought. So wonderful to see them safe.
Eliot let go Aella's hand and kneeled down amongst the flowers. "Breath deeply Aella! You can tatse the flowers on your tongue!" It was sweet and pleasing to her body. She sighed lowdly. "should we pick some for the oracle you think?"
Kat laughed. "Not really? Why Moonstone? Why are you afarid to tell me." She took the smallest of steps forward. She reached out a hand and ran it down the length of one of his feathers.
