Sanctum came back in, seeing that everyone was asleep. He summoned a wind that very carefully picked Ana and Steph up, and placed them into the hammock together. He then sat by the waterside and sighed deeply.
::What's the matter, mortal?::
The voice shocked him and he jumped. He looked around frantically until the undine showed herself, nude once again. Sanctum blushed, but didn't look away this time. He figured that the more he spent time in here, the more the spirits would come to talk to him. He had to get used to this.
"Oh... it's nothing, really. Everyone's asleep, but I'm not tired."
::Is it the illusions again?::
Sanctum looked at her in shock.
"How.... how did you...?"
::Know? We know a lot. You forget; we live here. We are here. We talk to each other, and we watch over you when you sleep. You and that woman you are with. We see you struggle almost on a nightly basis... that is, when you're here:: She gave him a sly smile. He blushed and looked away.
"You know.. it's not like that every night..."
::I know. You should have heard my sister, though, on the first night that you layed with that mortal woman:: She giggled ::She was so furious, yelling to me about how two mortals were consemating on top of her. She wanted so badly for me to upset your fun, but I thought it best not to::
Again Sanctum blushed, but he looked back. "I'm... I'm really concerned about these visions. Is there anything you can..." He stopped mid question. The undine's face grew solemn, sad.
::I'm afraid not, young one. Although we know much, the source of these illusions is unknown to us::
"You keep calling them illusions. Why is that?"
::What do you mean?::
"Well..." Sanctum tried to find the right words. "I've... well we've been calling them visions. Isn't...?"
::No... visions imply that they tell the future or the present. What you have been seeing is not visions, but illusions that someone is placing in your mind. Elonnha has told us so::
"Elonnha?"
::Surely your friend, Kara, has told you of Elonnha?::
"Actually... I don't think so... It does sound a bit familiar. What's he... she? like?"
The undine giggled. ::For that answer, you must see your druidic friend. I must rest now. Fare thee well, mortal:: She gave him a kiss on the cheek and slipped back into the water.
Sanctum sat for what seemed like forever, but was a mere 20 minutes. He couldn't get what she said out of his head. Visions imply that they tell the future or the present. What you have been seeing is not visions, but illusions that someone is placing in your mind. He felt much better and, after realizing he hadn't been able to find Elec, gently lowered himself into the hammock next to Ana. The morning. He would tell Elec in the morning. They were illusions...
He turned over in the hammock, facing away from the girls and towards the lake. He glanced down and whispered to the vines. "Thank you... for letting me create you... and for letting my lie here." He could have sworn he felt a quick motion, like something carressing his cheek in approval. This new world that Kara had opened up to him intrigued him. He would also ask about it all tomorrow...
::Mortal... you have been summoned. Go now to Kara's grove. She will be here soon to lead you there. You are to become... a druid::
Sanctum sat bolt upright. Was this right? He lay awake in the hammock waiting for Kara.

ChaosSanctum *Sanctum sees Kara and leaps gracefully from the hammock* "Hi Kara. The dryad told me you'd come." I smile, "They talk to you now?" I smile. "That's a good sign...I need to go to my grove...you need to come with me"

((This post happens before Kara went to bed.)) ((If you wish to see where I actually became a Druid, it takes place in Kara's Sacred Grove)) *Sanctum knew he would not get any sleep until the sun had risen. He had returned with Kara, and together they set out to create his own grove. He had just become a Druid and needed to construct a place of worship to Adharon, the God that had been selected for him. Or had he been selected by Adharon? Either way, a place fit for a God had to be constructed. He and Kara worked into the night contructing this into one side of the waterfall:  ((A wind chime at the top for the Sylphs, vines bound by an Elecia flower for the Dryads, a small pond of water for the Undines, a rock bowl filled with oil for burning for the Salamanders, and all built into a rock cave for the Satyrs. The giant red statue in the middle is Adharon, constructed out of Ruby. To the right, a Salamander constructed of Coral. To the right of that, a Dryad, constructed of Amber. To Adharon's left is a Undine, constructed of Sapphire. Left of that, a Satyr, constructed of Amber and Topaz. And finally, to the left of that, a Sylph, constructed of Emerald with Diamond wings. Directly in the middle of the pond was an altar constructed of Amethyst. It was upon this that Sanctum would make his blood sacrifice every time he wished to speak with Adharon.)) *Sanctum removed his clothes and stood in the pond, naked. He held his human hand out over the altar and used his demonic claws to cut two gashes into his hand. The blood spilled onto the altar, and he washed his hand in the waters. A large, muscled man appeared before Sanctum, nude as the day he was born. He spoke in a deep and wise voice.
"Yes, Adharon. I hope you find it pleasing. I've used the finest stones I could to construct the statues. I've followed Kara's example as closely as I could. I even decided to put the grove in my own Reprieve Sanctum. What do you think?"
He chuckled slightly. Adharon ruffled Sanctum's hair playfully, as a father would to his son. Sanctum smiled up at him, but had a momentary flash of sorrow. He missed Elec, who usually played with his hair in a similar fashion. He had hardly seen her this day, and already she was sleeping somewhere else. Adharon caught onto Sanctum's sadness.
Sanctum nodded, bowed, and left. He put his boxers and necklace back on.*
*Sanctum climbed up into the hammock with the two girls. He missed Elec terribly and hated sleeping alone, especially after the previous night full of illusions. He hoped that Ana would not mistake his intentions, for he felt nothing but a sibling love for her. He lay next to her, lifting her head slightly and placing his arm behind it. He then lay his other arm across her stomach. The night's events flooded his mind as he dozed off.*

((Oooohh...Sanc's a druid now! Cool!))
Ana slowly opened her eyes and looked around blearily. She didn't remember how she came to be in the hammock. The last thing she remembered was falling asleep on the ground. After a moment she finally realized something that probably should have been obvious immediately. Sanctum was lying in the hammock with her, arm draped over her stomach. She smiled and blushed a bit, but not the same way Kyrai, or even Angel, could make her blush. She had do doubts whatsoever about his intentions. He loved her...like a sister, and she loved him like a brother, nothing more. She just still wasn't used to so much physical affection from others. She lay there for a moment, enjoying the feeling of comfort without confusion or akwardness. Then, sighing, she quietly sat up, careful not to wake him.
She left him a quick note. The pool party last night was great. You really have wonderful place here. I'll definitely have to visit more often. See you later. Ana.
She went to the bank of the pool and knelt, dipping a hand in the water. "Good morning Neada. I can't wait until I can come visit and play with you." She stood and went to gather her bloody clothes from the night before, wrinkling her nose in disgust. She gingerly held the grusome bundle in front of her, careful not to let it touch her as she left the Reprieve and headed for her room in GIT.

Elec wandered back into the Reprieve. She had to go back to GIT last night because of the mess. Now that all that was over with she could come back. She saw Sanctum(and someone else? w/e) in the hammock. She climbed up and took the spot Ana had been not to long ago. She put her head on his chest and her arm across him. She fell back asleep.

*Sanctum opened his eyes, and almost fell out of the hammock. It was like a dream come true. Somehow, at some point in the night, Ana had turned into Elec! He had to resist the temptation to shake her awake to kiss her, and mostly it was out of respect for Steph, who was still sleeping. He hugged her closer and whispered* "I have something to show you later, beautiful..."
