[Dreorx] says: Good tah see you too
[Bodhran] says: Rare is the time I travel without it
[Possesed] says: I do hope I was at least of some help at the time...
Rook taps her forehead and whispers to Havyn.
[Alerac] says: Erm...talk to Meris about that.
[Possesed] says: It's so utterly dissapointing to have no effect on a situation.
Havyn listens quietly
[Dreorx] says: I almost fergot to pick some up bu' I remembered thank Reorx

[Seran] says: ...Hm...
Seran looks around.
[Possesed] says: So many faces...so little memory.
Trinn blinks at Possesed.

[Possesed] says: You have seen the lady...Silverdawn this eve?
[Trinn] says: No, not yet. But I imagine she'll be here.
[Seran] says: Are you going to tell a story, perhaps?
Ingarath holds his hands close to the fire, rubbing them vigorously.
[Sabrae] says: Mhm.. It's nice to see you too, Seran.
Wren warms her hands on her mug of tea and carefully takes a sip

[Seran] says: You don't know -any-?

Sabrae shakes her head.
[Seran] says: That's impossible... you must know some
Dahla shakes her head, frowning fiercely. "Hellfires..."
[Sabrae] says: No, I don't.
Delora blinks and looks around.
[Seran] says: None? Uh... so you don't do anything at all that might inspire a story?
[Possesed] says: I suppose I should ask how the council is doing Alerac?
[Sabrae] says: Hmm.. I doubt it would be very interesting.
[Seran] says: Pft!
[Alerac] says: Hmm? No, you shouldn't.
You wave at Trinn.
[Seran] says: You must be an interesting person, I am sure of it.

Dahla shakes her head at Alerac again, movement catching her eye... glancing over at Ingarath and giving him a quiet smile.
Trinn smiles at Ingarath.
[Seran] says: Zaide, you, and I saw those dragons that one time, so obviously that was something interesting.
[Trinn] says: Evening.
[Seran] says: Ah... well if you say so..
Ingarath raises an eyebrow. "Hello again. I'm sorry I haven't had the time to send you a letter yet."
Dreorx talks to himself since no one else seems interested.
Trinn grins at him. "I'm waiting."
[Sabrae] says: Yes, it was interesting, but I don't know if it was a very good story.
[Dreorx] says: Ill find her meself then

Wren leans close to Bodhran speaking softly
Lystera smiles at Rueth.
[Sabrae] says: There are a few new faces.
[Ingarath] says: Do you think we should wait for Meris to finish her conversation?

[Seran] says: Sabrae! You are very quiet today. What's wrong?
[Sabrae] says: Nothing..

[Sabrae] says: I guess maybe I'm tired?
Kystreil greets Dreorx warmly.
[Seran] says: Oh... hm... take a nap maybe?
Winterglade quietly cleans her gauntlets
Dahla quirks a brow at Alerac. "You're still on the other side of the fire."
[Sabrae] says: Maybe later. Being here will probably help me rest a bit.
Bodhran tries to focus on the flowers but his eyes keep drifting back to the grog
Alerac glances back at Dahla.
[Alerac] says: And you're still alive.
[Seran] says: Ah... you are hoping for boring stories to fall asleep to?
[Alerac] says: Works out, eh?
Sabrae laughs.
[Sabrae] says: No.
Stardancer reviews her notes bound within a leather tome.
Wren grins
Dahla looks baffled. "What...?"
[Ingarath] says: Alerac, did you step on a tack this morning?
[Seran] says: Oh ok, I didn't think that was it, anyways
[Sabrae] says: It's just better than training.
Trinn shrugs at her.
[Wren] says: I always have a backup plan
[Alerac] says: Eh. it was a bad attempt at a joke.

[Seran] says: I don't think so
Wren pats Bodhran gently on the knee
Reinholt nods at Trinn.
[Seran] says: She might, though, I'm not sure. I forgot to tell her, actually
[Bodhran] says: Aye, tis a fine trait, preparation
[Stardancer] says: Thinking of it...
Dahla gives Edum a small smile, then looks beyond Trinn with surprise. "Reinholt! I don't think I've ever seen you here."
[Wren] says: excellent solution dearie
[Dahla] says: How are you doing, sir?
Bodhran smiles at Wren.
[Sabrae] says: Ahh.. Well I hope she does. I haven't seen her too much lately.
Possesed waves at Meris.
[Reinholt] says: I needed to come somewhere, peaceful.
You wave at Meris.
Dreorx nods at Meris.
Meris sits down and sighs nervously.
[Seran] says: Me either, but I've been slightly off the past few days. Haven't been feeling too well
[Dahla] says: ... well, this is usually the place for that. Mostly.
Sabrae frowns.
Possesed shivers in her boots. Chilling!
Alerac whispers to Meris.
[Sabrae] says: I'm sorry. I hope you're feeling better though.
[Seran] says: I think storytelling is starting, we should probably sit.
Dahla shakes her head, looking uncomfortable, and settling herself more comfortably.
[Ingarath] says: Well, perhaps we should begin.
[Seran] says: Oh yes! I am feeling much better.
[Possesed] says: Even here it never seems warm enough...
[Ingarath] says: Please, feel free to loosely form any sort of curve you wish.
Ingarath smiles.
[Seran] says: ...
Stardancer smiles at you.
Trinn grins at Ingarath.
[Ingarath] says: I am learning that we are perhaps not so talented with circles.
You laugh.
[Alerac] says: Bah.
[Dreorx] says: Excuse meh
[Alerac] says: No one said it had to be a circle.
Meris looks around the circle searching the faces for any sign of Rook or the priest
[Ingarath] says: No, of course not.
[Possesed] says: If no one minds, I think i shall stay close to the fire...
[Wren] says: we just like to take circles in new and interesting directions
[Alerac] says: In fact...I thin it shouldn't be a circle.
Ingarath nods at Wren.
[Alerac] says: Everyone! I demande you make a triangle!
[Reinholt] says: As shall I, if no one minds.
Wren grins
[Ingarath] says: No, no, no triangles here.
[Bodhran] says: Aye, tis a measure of creativity...and alcohol
[Ingarath] says: Or pyramids, for that matter.
Alerac looks around expenctanlty.
[Alerac] says: ...you guys suck.

Ingarath takes some notes.
Possesed laughs.
[Alerac] says: Eh? Oh, that's right, you're an elf.
[Possesed] says: Today.
Meris smiles a little bit at the joke, but keeps looking around the circle for clues

[Dreorx] says: Seems to be alot o' tension 'ere tonight
You point at Meris.
[Alerac] says: Oy! Don't I get a last name?
Meris waves shyly.
[Ingarath] says: Alerac...I must confess that I do not know your last name.
[Ingarath] says: Enlighten me?
[Meris] says: Shutup and sit down, Al.
[Lystera] says: He probably hasn't one.
[Alerac] says: Hah! Well, I'm not going ot tell you now.
Alerac makes a rude gesture at Lystera.
[Lystera] says: Just being an ass to get attention.
Stardancer sighs.
Alerac grumbles and sits down.
[Possesed] says: Now children, play nice.
Possesed smiles.
[Ingarath] says: Yes, indeed, play nice.
[Ingarath] says: Otherwise...
[Ingarath] says: Well, let's not discuss that.
[Alerac] says: we'll hang you.
[Ingarath] says: It involves an angry rogue and leather.
Alerac nods matter of factly.
Trinn raises an eyebrow at Ingarath.
[Lystera] says: You can try.
[Ingarath] says: Suffice to say, that should be enough to dissuade you.
[Alerac] says: Erm..female rogue, Ingarath?

Stardancer rubs her ears.
[Ingarath] says: Luckily, Meris, I am indomitable.
[Alerac] says: Not very odd.
[Seran] says: Hm...
Seran eyes Ingarath in the most peculiar way
[Possesed] says: Please do allow him to finish, or we shall never begin.

[Dahla] says: I'm afraid I've run out of tales told to me by my friend, the ferryman...
Rueth ish dissapointed.
Alerac throws the same rock back at Ingarath.
[Alerac] says: Pity.
[Dahla] says: But, I do have some others to share. This was told to me by a wise priest, in one of his earlier years.
[Dahla] says: He spent some time amongst the monks of the Scarlet Crusade -- before their ways became... misguided, when they held their wisdom along with their honour.
[Dahla] says: One night, a vow of silence was placed over the Monestary, as was often custom -- it helped with their spirits and their prayers. However, a knock sounded at the door.
Trinn smiles across the circle at Felena.
Nim smiles slightly, listening to Dahla's story.
Elaran listens intently to Dahla.
Alerac begins devising a new drinking game involving members of Winters End and taking a shot whenever one shows up.
[Dahla] says: Brother G -- the Brother went to the door to answer it, as the Monks were deep in their silence. Standing in the pouring rain was another Monk from a different order, seeking shelter for the night.
Delesta bit her lip at Dahla and shook her head, looking down slightly
Dreorx thinksh Aleracsh game ish all wrong, you should just continue drinking until you passh out
Saral takesh another chug, much longer thish time.
Reinholt sighs at Dahla.
Saral smiles at Felena.
[Dahla] says: As was also custom, he would be granted such shelter -- but only if he could best another Monk in a debate. He was ushered in, and in hopes that this young Monk would be allowed to stay, he was given the task of debate -- in silence.
Felena sits down amongst her dear friends, spreading smiles and nods around to them.
[Dahla] says: The one he was to debate with was chosen in hopes the young Monk would win -- an older, but hotheaded Monk of the Crusade who had recently lost an eye in battle.
Artorius chuckles at Dahla.
[Dahla] says: The two withdrew to a room, and of course, the debate was carried on in silence. At length, the young Monk appeared, bowed to those gathered, and walked back outside.
Delesta slowly arose and rubbed her temples before silently walking off behind the shack to her right
[Dahla] says: The Brother ran after him in confusion, and as he stepped out into the rain was allowed to break the silent vows. "Wait, wait! You did not win?"
Kelmag waves at Gerzul.
Gerzul smiles at Kelmag.
[Dahla] says: "I am afraid not, Brother of the Light. He is a most wise man, and I am humbled by the challenge and the teachings."
[Dahla] says: Still, the Brother insisted on knowing what had happened in that room.
[Dahla] says: "Well," said the young Monk, "I held up one finger, to symbolize the Light. He held up two, to symbolize the Writ and the Rule."
Stardancer listens intently to Dahla.
Rook breathes something from her hand.
Possesed shivers in her boots. Chilling!
[Dahla] says: "I held up three, to symbolize the Prophecy of the Order, the Realization of the Order, and the Duty of the Order -- to spread the name of the Light."
Possesed shivers in her boots. Chilling!
[Dahla] says: "But he held up four, to say "For what reason do you believe these things you read?"
Rueth begins to catch on.
Reinholt kneels before Dahla.
[Dahla] says: "And I held up five, to say that I believed it for my duty is to all people in the world, and to bring them to the Light."
[Dahla] says: "And he held up a fist, to say "No. These things, all these people, are already of the Light."
Saral smirks slyly at Aylim.
[Dahla] says: Stunned, the Brother bid the Monk goodnight.
[Dahla] says: The next day, the one-eyed Monk was finally able to speak, and over dawnfry he was _most_ upset.
[Dahla] says: The Brother approached him to ask him why he was so angered, and the Monk replied, "It was that young Monk last night! I'm glad he left!"
[Dahla] says: "You see, he held up one finger to say, "I see you only have one eye." And I held up two to say, "Yes, and you have two. So?"
Elaran quietly snickers to herself.
Kelmag pats Gerzul on the back
Dreorx laughs.
[Dahla] says: "And he held up three to mock me and say, "But between the three of us, there are only three eyes!"

[Dahla] says: "And I held up four to say, "For what reason are we still talking about my damned eye?"

[Rueth] says: But this poem...
Meris places her hand on Dahla's shoulder and whispers to her.
Dahla glances over at Meris with a smile, seeming warmed by the sharing of her tale, and that it was passed on.
[Rueth] says: ...it came out of my experiences in the north.
[Rueth] says: I hope you will find it...entertaining.
Stardancer nods and listens.
Kelmag pulls out his pipe and thumbs it full
Rueth gathers her courage.
Elaran listens intently to Rueth.

[Rueth] says: "Hunger, and sultry heat, and nipping blast ...

[Rueth] says: From bleak hill-top, and length of march by night
[Rueth] says: ...Through heavy swamp, or over snow-clad height--
[Rueth] says: ...These hardships ill-sustained, these dangers past, ...hic!
[Rueth] says: Excuse me.
Rueth covers her mouth.
Winterglade smiles at Rueth.
A sly smirk spreads across Aylim's face.

[Rueth] says: So these,--and, heard of once again, are chased
Kelmag lights his pipe
[Rueth] says: With combinations of long-practised art
[Ginsue] says: i saw someone wave at me, but i can't tell who.....
[Ginsue] says: so many ppl.....
[Rueth] says: And newly-kindled hope; but they are fled--
Stardancer quietly greets Ginsue...and motions that someone is telling a story.
[Rueth] says: Gone are they, viewless as the buried dead:
[Rueth] says: Where now?--Their sword is at our mind and heart;
Possesed shivers in her boots. Chilling!
[Rueth] says: And thus from year to year our walk they thwart,
[Rueth] says: and rise up in thought as I turn to bed.

[Egaeus] says: It was many and many a year ago,
[Egaeus] says: In a kingdom by the sea,
Elaran is curious what Alerac is up to.
Delesta looks over to Alerac, then back to Egaeus
Elaran listens intently to Egaeus.
Alerac grumbles. Can't a guy walk around without getting weird looks anymore?
[Egaeus] says: That a maiden there lived whom you may know
[Egaeus] says: By the name of Annabelle Lee
Stardancer wonders.
Bloodmoore packs some green leaves into a pipe and lights it.
Stardancer doesn't think she knows her.
[Egaeus] says: And this maiden she lived with no other thought
[Egaeus] says: Than to love and be loved by me
[Egaeus] says: I was a child and she was a child
[Egaeus] says: In this kingom by the sea
Kelmag taps his pipe stem on his teeth
[Egaeus] says: But we loved with a love that was more than love-
[Egaeus] says: I and my Annabelle Lee.
[Egaeus] says: With a love that the winged Seraphs of Heaven
[Egaeus] says: Coveted her and me
[Egaeus] says: And this was the reason that, long ago,
[Egaeus] says: In this kingdom by the sea,
[Egaeus] says: A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
[Egaeus] says: My Beautiful Annabelle Lee
[Egaeus] says: So that her Highborn Kinsman came
[Egaeus] says: And bore her away from me
[Egaeus] says: To shut her up in a Sepulcher
[Egaeus] says: In this kingdom by the sea
Rueth narrows her eyes.
Possesed smiles.

[Egaeus] says: The angels not half so happy in heaven
[Egaeus] says: Went envying her and me
[Egaeus] says: YES!
[Egaeus] says: That was the reason
[Egaeus] says: (as all men known, in this kingdom by the sea)
Rook kneels down.
Alerac glances up at Rook.
[Egaeus] says: That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Meris furrows her brow at Dahla, not understanding what she is saying.
[Egaeus] says: Chilling and killing my Annabelle Lee
Stardancer frowns.
Kelmag inhales deeply from his pipe
[Egaeus] says: But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Nim looksh behind him and noticesh Rook. He smilesh and givesh her a wave. ...hic!
Rueth stares at the fire intently.
[Egaeus] says: Of those who were older than we
[Egaeus] says: Of many far wiser than we,
Dreorx tries to wave but his hand hitsh his face
Rook nods to Nim pleasantly and closes her eyes.
Meris glances back at Rook and Alerac, a bit more distressed than earlier
[Egaeus] says: And neither the angels in the heaven above,
Alerac hopes to hell that the fire holds long enough to not interrupt the story.
[Egaeus] says: Nor the demons down under the sea
[Egaeus] says: Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
[Egaeus] says: Of the beautiful Annabelle Lee
[Egaeus] says: For the moon never beams without bring me dreams
[Egaeus] says: Of the beautiful Annabelle LEe
[Egaeus] says: And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
[Egaeus] says: Of the beautiful Annabelle Lee
[Egaeus] says: And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
[Egaeus] says: Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride
[Egaeus] says: In the sepulcher there by the sea

Bodhran rubs Wren's arms, trying to warm her
[Winterglade] says: Adding that the one that gifted the temple with the greatest dontation that evening would be able to select their three favorite Hymns
[Winterglade] says: When the offerings were collected..
[Winterglade] says: A bag filled with over a thousand gold was discovered..
Meris nods at Dahla, eyeing Reinholt.
Stardancer gasps.
Alerac grumbles.
Ingarath 's eyes widen.
Elaran raises an eyebrow.
[Winterglade] says: The Priestess asked that this most generous person please come forward.
[Winterglade] says: And this saintly and aged human widow shyly made her way up to the alter..
[Winterglade] says: The Priestess and the entire gathering applauded the widow's geneous gift to Elune and they asked her to please select her three most favorite Hymns..
Meris gives Alerac and saddened look, and turns back to Dahla.

[Egaeus] says: I must take my leave. May the heavens rumble with you joys and the earth shudder from your sorrows. Adieu.

[Ingarath] says: I tried very hard to write something in my usual vein for this week, but failed at that attempt.
[Ingarath] says: What I have instead might be...a declaration of who I am as a person.

Possesed lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
Possesed shivers in her boots. Chilling!
Alerac just realized he probably missed and hit Silverdawn or Delesta.
Aylim moves over to take the vacated spot between two women, grinning from ear to ear.
Silverdawn catches it.
[Alerac] says: I hate fire...
Silverdawn quietly, firmly sets the rock on the ground.
Ingarath whispers, "Given how you fish, you probably hit Bronzebeard."
Trinn snickers.
[Alerac] says: You know, that'd be pretty impressive.
Reinholt although trying to remain awake to listen, starts to slumber off... The day had been hard.
Reinholt lies down before Trinn.
Alerac grins at you wickedly.
Ingarath eyes Reinholt.
Possesed mutters "Can never get warm anymore.."
[Kelian] says: Man overboard..
Possesed shivers in her boots. Chilling!
Nim looks to his right as Reinholt dozes off and smacks him in the side.
[Kelmag] says: Hmm...
[Silverdawn] says: May I? It's a short piece, I assure you.
[Ingarath] says: Please!
[Ingarath] says: Please, by all means.

[Silverdawn] says: ~Softly now, the light of day~
[Silverdawn] says: ~Whispers through our chamber windows~
[Silverdawn] says: ~Slowly waking beneath blankets, in disarray~
[Silverdawn] says: ~In the dawn light, your face aglow~
[Silverdawn] says: ~Are you awake?~
[Silverdawn] says: ~You stir like a feather in the autumn breeze~
[Silverdawn] says: ~A glance of blue eyes, pure and peaceful lakes~
[Silverdawn] says: ~And a smile granted in graceful tease~
[Silverdawn] says: ~Are you alive? Am I?~
[Silverdawn] says: ~"No matter", you say~
[Silverdawn] says: ~"Let tomorrow give a reply"~

[Ingarath] says: Thank you...
Possesed lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
Ingarath looks around.
[Possesed] says: If I might?
[Wren] says: Well done Silverdawn, thankyou
[Artorius] says: may I?
Silverdawn smiles at Wren.
[Possesed] says: Go ahead artorius.
Ingarath eyes Artorius.
[Ingarath] says: Please, please.
Elarion cheers at Artorius!
Reinholt mumble something while he sleeps, it seems as though he isplaing out multiple voices... "Wake up, fool! You are missing some inteligent words! Hmm? Ahh, you are quite a wierd on arnt you Khaygros... I shall do as you say though". Reinholt sits up.
[Artorius] says: Frinds, if ye will allow me, I shall tell brief story.. slight history of my battles between a priest of light, to a priest of dark, and back again
Alerac begins chanting "That fire had better hold" under his breath.
Reinholt nods at Artorius.
Delesta looks to the rest of Winters End, whispering "I must travel to stormwind for a bit, ill be back"

Meris continues whisper to Dahla
Nim nods at Delesta.
Dahla glances down, rubbing her temple.
[Artorius] says: I was a youn' dwarven lad, when me family was murdered by troggs. An' I was taken in by the church, where I spent many o' years studying the way of the Light
Bloodmoore yawns sleepily.
Rook kneels down.
[Artorius] says: And ten one day, Father Bastian, my mentor was murdered in his sleep, and I slipped into darkness, and anger.
[Artorius] says: I began to study te ways of Shadow. And met a young mage named Asharden, whom was a converted warlock
Artorius snickers at Silverdawn.
Medrith yawns sleepily at Artorius.
[Artorius] says: We become close friends, e'en though he was a 'uman
Elarion pokes Medrith. Hey!
Medrith falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
Elarion pokes Medrith. Hey!
Silverdawn bonks Medrith on the noggin. Doh!
Medrith snores loudly
[Artorius] says: but one day, he was overtaken by some mysterious spell, and slipped into a deep sleep
Elarion pokes Medrith with his Assasination Blade.
Medrith feels pain
Elarion grins wickedly at Medrith.
[Artorius] says: Asharden, was taken under a Warlock spell, and was temporarily stuck in another dimension.. a different plane
Reinholt lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
Silverdawn rests her hands at her lap, listening closely.
[Artorius] says: We spent many of adventures to find a way to restore my dear friend.
[Artorius] says: After many journies, we were able to restore him, but to learn that he lost something in his battle with the demon
[Artorius] says: on this day, I swore off all that was Dark. And I devouted myself to the light

[Artorius] says: Those whom I loved were attacked.

Rook looks quizzically at Reinholt.
[Artorius] says: And me young apprentice, Katrisia was murdered in her sleep by a horde rogue.
You gasp at Artorius.
Bloodmoore lets out a hearty chuckle.
Silverdawn winces slightly.
Elarion shakes his head.
Elaran closes her eyes with a saddened look.
[Artorius] says: And until I can find him, and get justice, I have vowed to use whatever means neccesary, to get my revenge
Reinholt sighs at Alerac.
Artorius inches away in silence
[Artorius] says: Ah.. I am sorry I got sooo emotional
Winterglade smiles at Artorius.
Silverdawn contemplates Artorius's tale solemnly.
[Artorius] says: I meant to tell a happy story.. but it, it just overcame me

[Alerac] says: Nice night, eh?
Trinn glances around the...erm...circle. ...hic!
[Possesed] says: This is my part.
[Saral] says: I shouldbe off...
Alerac glances at the circle himself. Saddest circle ever, says he.
[Possesed] says: Please stay a little longer.
[Saral] says: Take care, everyone here.

[Winterglade] says: My apologies.. my time is up for tonight.. thank you all again for having me
Ingarath whispers to Alerac, "That isn't a man."
[Possesed] says: If no one else has a tale this moment...
You wave at Winterglade.
Reinholt nods at Alerac.
[Possesed] says: I'll say my last.
Alerac nods at Reinholt.

[Possesed] says: Where once was green woods, and babbling brook,
Silverdawn 's hands tense for a moment before she relaxes, listening.
[Alerac] says: Yeah. I remember walking fifteen miles barefoot in the snow to get a book...
Wren gently pats Anathese.
Anathese purrs at Wren.
Anathese lies down.
[Possesed] says: now comes tainted rot, and blackened sludge.
[Possesed] says: Andorhal.
Trinn looks sharply at Reinholt for a moment before staring forward again.
[Possesed] says: All remember it for what it has become.And will do so perhaps until the word looses meaning.
Silverdawn glances down, recognizing the name, still listening closely.
Meris looks aghast at Dahla and hugs herself tightly.
Alerac whispers to Meris.
Possesed lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
[Possesed] says: In this time, it is a nightmare.
[Possesed] says: A cursed shade of the soft gathering it once was.
[Possesed] says: A...so utterly simple town; that almost no one truly knew of.
Coober kneels down.
Edum sighs softly as he leans back to rest on his hands, each slightly behind him abit more then shoulderwidth apart. His legs crossing at the ankle as he kicks them out before him.
[Possesed] says: Not much more then a place for people to live...and little girls to play.
Dahla pokes Edum's foot. It smells.
[Possesed] says: There was a man from that place. Not truly of it, but it was his hold on the world.
Kelian hides a smile.
[Possesed] says: His only place that truly held him, for it was his to travel.
Possesed shivers in her boots. Chilling!
Edum quirks a brow as he slides his emerald gaze over to Dahla, silently questioning her actions.
Nim waves at Rook.
Possesed slowly and methodically rubs her hands, as if there is no way she can warm herself.
Coober kneels before Rabbit.
Coober kneels before Rabbit.
[Possesed] says: He was happy, in that simple traveling, in quiet woods, near a beatiful town.
Dahla turns a completely passive look at Edum, before tipping her head back to Meris.
[Possesed] says: Even happier when he found a prodigal child to share it with.
Silverdawn 's heart begins to race faster in her heart, for reasons unknown to her. She shuts her eyes tightly, composing herself, then continues listening.
Edum frowns slightly as his brows furrow, he leans forward as he brushes his hands down his breechs, leaning in towards Dahla to whisper.
[Possesed] says: Girls are so tumultuous at that age...and curious. Enough she was, to match his own.
[Possesed] says: And so he shared the forest with this lost child of the city, and it's secret places.
Reinholt shivers violently.
Elaran listens intently to Possesed.
Trinn stands quietly, walking away from the fire for a moment.
Coober kneels down.
Tweny peers at Possesed searchingly.
Bodhran smiles at Wren.
[Possesed] says: She became his hold to the world, and he took a joy in her company.
Ingarath watches Trinn leave carefully.
Meris casts a sidelong glance at Reinholt and Trinn.
Alerac gazes at Possesed calculatingly.
Edum pulls his eyes from Dahla momentarily to follow Trinns leaving.
[Possesed] says: But time is every marching.
Wren smiles at Bodhran.
[Possesed] says: And as is it's want...it came to that place.
Possesed shivers in her boots. Chilling!
Possesed lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
Rook whispers something into her cupped hand and exhales softly; a shimmering twist of ghostly smoke evaporates into the air towards Ingarath.
Coober whispers to Rabbit
[Possesed] says: The man was no hunter.
[Possesed] says: Nor a ranger, nor a druid. But they were his woods.
[Possesed] says: He knew them, and felt the creeping darkness that approached.
Ingarath eyes Rook, smiling.
Dahla shakes her head and sits back, resting her weight on her palms and disengaging from her hushed words with Meris... just staring at the fire.
Kelian backs away from the fire.
[Possesed] says: Felt it enough to tell the ones he cared for, to flee that place.
Meris looks to Dahla searchingly, but not wanting to upset her further.
Edum shifts closer to Dahla, his lips near her ear to whisper as he leans back to rest on his palms once more.
[Possesed] says: But, as always, curiosity consumed him.
Elarion pulls out a small blade from his pocket and begins playing with it.
Alerac glances over at Dahla and Meris worried as hell.
[Possesed] says: And so, one thing, he chose not to share, with the treasure of his heart, and he spoke hard words to her; to make her leave that place.
Gerzul winks slyly at Kelmag.
[Possesed] says: Thus all that was left to him, was curiousity, and the darkness, that took him, and ...Andorhal.
[Possesed] says: Death came, and death went. The world changed, but ...the heart he most cared for beat on.
Silverdawn strokes her hand thoughtfully.
[Possesed] says: A simple man Died, but he saved the ones he cared for.
Elarion puts away the blade he has been toying with.
[Possesed] says: Yet, time was not done.
Meris whispers back to Dahla
[Possesed] says: Death was not the end of him; as the scourge took both andorahl, and him, and changed them to their purpose.
Elarion grins wickedly at Artorius.
Possesed shivers in her boots. Chilling!
Reinholt kneels down.
Alerac grumbles, and glances around in search of someone to talk to while listening. Which he is, I assure you.
[Possesed] says: What makes a man in the end?
Dahla nods briefly at Meris, closing her eyes. She just reaches over to pat Edum's hand... she has no responses for either of them, now.
Ingarath raises an eyebrow at Possesed.
[Possesed] says: Is it a heart? A soul? A memory?
Possesed sighs at Silverdawn.
[Possesed] says: Is it regret?
Edum nods quickly at Dahlas as he turns his gaze back to Possessed.
[Possesed] says: When time made him find himself again,
Meris whispers to Alerac.
Alerac glances over at Meris.
Silverdawn looks downward, unable to make proper eye contact.
[Possesed] says: He was left with curiosity, and memory. And...regret.
[Possesed] says: It was that curiosity that drove him, to be more then he'd ever been.
[Possesed] says: To wonder paths Dark, and obscene.
[Possesed] says: And so a man Died, again. To become something else.
[Possesed] says: Yet in the end, curiosity wound it's course, at the cost of whatever remained....save only regret.
Possesed shivers in her boots. Chilling!
[Possesed] says: He....
[Possesed] says: I had one last beutiful plan, to make our pain stop.
Meris points at Possesed.
Artorius asks Rook if he may take a seat, and push feelings on philosiphy aside for an evening
Rook nods grinning at Artorius.
[Possesed] says: I knew...that if i forced dark, and light together, they would unmake...everything.
[Rook] says: Have at.
Silverdawn lifts her head up, glancing at her curiously.
[Possesed] says: And all it would have cost me, was you, little silver.
[Medrith] says: ...
Silverdawn suddenly stands up, her face feeling very, very cold.
Tweny stares Possesed down.
[Possesed] says: The world hurts.
Reucroft blinks.
[Possesed] says: I hurt.
Medrith looks at SilverDawn with interest
Dahla furrows her brow as she watches.
[Possesed] says: But...there's enough left, in here,
Ingarath 's eyes widen.
Elaran narrows her eyes at Possesed.
[Possesed] says: That I could not unmake you.
Elarion ponders Possesed's actions.
Alerac glances a tad angrily at Meris, then back to the scene in front of him.
Possesed smiles at Silverdawn.
Silverdawn listens to Possesed with wide-eyed interest, frozen in spot, partly out of shock, mostly out of emotion.
Medrith guards Silverdawn
Wren turns to look at Silverdawn with concern, waiting for her reaction
[Possesed] says: Please silver, remember the woodsman, and not what came after his death.
Reinholt eyes Possesed up and down.
[Possesed] says: I have only one way, to stop what I set in motion,
Reucroft furrows his brow, confused.
[Possesed] says: I...gave away so much, knowing that.
Silverdawn 's eyes begin to soften, and she takes a few small steps back, breathing faster, her limbs feeling heavy from a sudden sorrow.
[Possesed] says: Yet, I knew not what to give to you...
Artorius says a prayer for Silverdawn.
Rook watches coldly.
[Possesed] says: Save only that which is left to me.
Meris gives Alerac a pained look and shakes her head.
Medrith places his hand on Silverdawn's shoulder steadying her
Elaran ponders the situation.
[Possesed] says: Remember.
Reinholt stands up, trying to put things together.
Possesed lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
Coober looks baffled.
[Possesed] says: Time comes for us all.
Reucroft lets a grin creep across his face,
[Possesed] says: And so I tell the tale,
Reinholt watches Possesed's every move.
[Possesed] says: Of a man who died.
[Medrith] says: Silverdawn... are you alright?
Elaran looks back and forth from Silverdawn to Possesed, confused.
Silverdawn reaches out, as if to speak, then withdraws her arm, green eyes scanning the grass hastily, in confusion, a storm of thoughts overtaking her mind.
Alerac doesn't get up to build a new fire, watching the events unfold.
[Reucroft] says: Huh? Where did she go?
[Silverdawn] says: I-I....I'm sorry...*hesitates for a moment, then turns around, starting to walk away--she pauses and looks at Possesed, then the gathering*
Ingarath blinks.....
Elarion lets out a deep breath.
Artorius nudges Silverdawn
Wren looks to where Possesed stood only a moment before
[Medrith] says: What magic is this?
[Alerac] says: ((Erm...did he crash or log out?))
Tweny growls quietly.
Aylim blinks.
Bodhran runs his hand through his beard thoughtfully
Kystreil looks with concern at Silverdawn.
[Anathese] says: ((DC I believe))
Silverdawn speaks hastily, her voice tense from holding back tears.
Reinholt 's veins turn blue on his hand... In a few moments the color recedes and he scratches his head. "Hmmmm?"
Elaran looks around.
[Silverdawn] says: I must go. I apologize. Thank you for having me.
[Alerac] says: Oy!
[Alerac] says: Will you be alright?
Silverdawn nods.
[Alerac] says: Eh, nevermind.
[Medrith] says: Silverdawn? Is everything alright?
Meris watches Silverdawn curiously.
Reucroft watches Silverdawn trying to hide his grin.
Coober points at Rabbit.
Coober claps excitedly for Rabbit.
[Kelmag] says: Wull..
Ingarath shakes his head.
[Meris] says: Well, tjat was... odd.
Ingarath murmurs..."Incredible."
[Alerac] says: Very odd...
[Alerac] says: So...who's next...?
[Elaran] says: ...Is it me, or was that rather confusing?
[Medrith] says: A strange night
Rook raises a hand hopefully.
[Kelmag] says: Eh wull go!
[Meris] says: I think it meant something for certain people..
[Aylim] says: I'd go, but I'll be damned if I'm going to follow that.
Ingarath nods to Rook.
[Meris] says: But not all of us.
[Rook] says: Ah've got twa quick 'uns.
[Kelmag] says: Ef Eh may...
[Ingarath] says: Please, Rook. Share.
Reinholt kneels down.
[Ingarath] says: And then, Kelmag...?
Tweny whispers to Wren, "I need to go."
Alerac rubs his temple; talking to Meris is slow going tonight.
Kystreil quietly pardons herself from the gathering.
Meris looks a bit worriedly at Alerac and watches the crowd.
Tweny hugs Wren.
[Rook] says: Awright, same o' ye aw ken ah dinna read i' mah speak, much as ah'd like tae. Gang tae use straight common fer these.
Dahla shakes her head, moving to draw her knees up against her chest and hugging them to herself, despite the closeness of the fire.
[Rook] says: Here goes, then.
Rook clasps her hands behind her back.
Anathese lies down.
[Rook] says: "Bare-footed he walks time unto end
[Rook] says: to quiet the leaves under-foot
[Rook] says: and listen for foes under-way.
[Rook] says: Trees, rocks, waters like glass
[Rook] says: are foreign in the forest -he- walks.
[Rook] says: He touches no tree, hanging like a lock of burnished hair;
[Rook] says: he treads no stone over, the ageless watchers;
[Rook] says: water's whispers echo soundlessly past him."
Rook nods briefly.
[Rook] says: That's one.
[Rook] says: "Underneath the mountain gate,
Elaran smiles at Rook.
[Rook] says: Gathered in the Dark,
[Rook] says: All my Wake made friends with fate.
[Rook] says: Damn you, Umbermark.
[Rook] says: From the dragon's Emerald Hell,
[Rook] says: Watch for me, my foe.
[Rook] says: Witch is come the tale to tell:
[Rook] says: Druid, greet your woe."
Rook inclines her head again and sets off.
Coober cries on Rabbit's shoulder.
[Rook] says: Right, thankee aw an' guid night.
[Alerac] says: Erm...very..ah, good, Rook...
Reucroft claps excitedly for Rook.
Bodhran claps excitedly for Rook.
Elaran claps excitedly for Rook.
Kelmag claps excitedly for Rook.
You clap excitedly for Rook.
Wren soothes Coober. There, there...things will be ok.
Kelmag cheers at Rook!
Reinholt nods at Rook.
Coober kneels before Rabbit.
Meris applauds at Rook. Bravo!
[Ingarath] says: Alright, Kelmag...?
Kelmag clears his throat
Coober glares angrily at Artorius.
Xindo listens intently to Kelmag.
[Kelmag] says: Like ta play yeh an' ol' Dwarven folk song.
Bodhran smiles at Kelmag.
[Kelmag] says: Lighten th' mood, aye.
Elaran cheers at Kelmag!
Kelmag pulls out a strined instrument, tunes it, and begins to play
Wren smiles.
Meris smiles softly at Kelmag
[Kelmag] says: Here's a story about a ghost come back from sea, he's come to take his bride away from the house carpenter.
Xindo eyes Alerac but ignores him for now
Gerzul cheers!
Kelmag clears his throat
[Kelmag] says: Well met, well met, my one true love, Well met well met cries she! I've jus' returned from the salt, salt sea, an' it's all for the love of thee.
Kelmag kneels down.
Kelmag Strums away at his instrument
[Kelmag] says: I Could have married a kings daughter there, she would have married me. But I have forsaken my kings daughter there, an' it's all for the love of theee.
[Kelmag] says: Well if you could have married a kings daughter there, I' sure your the one to blame. For I am married to a house carpenter, an' I'ma sure he's a fine young man.
Kelmag Strums away at his instrument
Wren smiles.
[Kelmag] says: Forsake, forsake your house carpenter, An' coome away with me. I'll take you to wher' the green grass grows, on the shores of sunny Kalimdor.
Kelmag Strums away at his instrument
Bodhran hums along quietly to the familiar tune
[Kelmag] says: So up she picked her babies three, an' gave them kisses one, two, three. Said take god care of your daddy while I'm gone, an' keeo him good company.
Artorius waves goodbye to everyone. Farewell!
Gerzul taps his foot
[Kelmag] says: Well they were sailing about two weeks, I'm sure it was not three.
Kelmag Strums away at his instrument
[Kelmag] says: What are those hills 'yonder my love, they look as white as snow. Those are the hills of the heavens my love, you an' I will never know.
Kelmag pounds away at the strings
[Kelmag] says: What are those hills 'yonder my love, they look as white as snow. Those are the hills of the heavens my love, you an' I will never know.
[Kelmag] says: Oh what are those hills YONDER my love, they look as black as night. Those are the hills of Hell fire my love, where you an' I will unite.
Reucroft grins.
Kelmag Strums away at his instrument
[Kelmag] says: Oh twice aroun' went the gallied ship, I'm sure it was not three. When th' ship all'a sudden sprung a leak, an' drifted to th' bottom of the sea.
Kelmag breaks down the song and strums the final chord
Elaran chuckles at Kelmag.
Kelmag bows down graciously.
Bodhran cheers at Kelmag!
Kelmag bows down graciously.

Reinholt stands up and looks around.
Alerac looks arond for rocks to throw at Ingarath.

[Reinholt] says: I suppose I can... Yes. I have a story.
Kelmag gently pats Great Goretusk.
[Reinholt] says: If you will have m speak it that is...
[Alerac] says: Right. Just let it be known you are now in "Flying Tackle Zone" as for story lenght.
[Alerac] says: Go too long, and I'll hit your ass with a flying tackle. You have been warned.

Reinholt winks slyly at Alerac.
Xindo laughs at Alerac.
Reucroft grins.
Elaran snickers at Alerac.
Alerac kneels down.
Alerac begins making the neccisary calculations.
Reinholt looks about everyone and clears his throat.
Meris lowers her eyes at Alerac.
[Reinholt] says: A long time ago... Long before the Great Wars had started, there was an area in the frozen north where a great Dragon had recided.
Dahla rests her chin atop her knees and listens carefully.
Ingarath quietly walks over to Kaen.
Coober pets Rabbit.
Kaen smiles at the procession before him, a calm settling over him at the memories of this place...
Ingarath grins, extending his hand.
Ingarath murmurs, "I've not seen you in a very long time."
Kaen smiles wide, accepting it and shaking it firmly
Dahla glances over at the familiar voice, and tosses Kaen a small smile.
Kaen grins and mutters in return, "No kidding...bloody hells lad..."
Trinn glances over to Kaen with a smile.
Ingarath grins. "Join us, please!"
[Kaen] says: Of course!
Trinn looks up, smiling.
[Reinholt] says: His name was Laurus, a lesser blue dragon aspect with but one job. Making sure that those who all lived on Azeroth were able to live their lives in harmony with honor and strenght... And to make sure that when they died, their soul was never bound to wand
Kaen sits down beside Trinn, placing an arm around her, and mutters, "And who are you, lass?"
Trinn gives him an arch look.
[Reinholt] says: ...er in our realm for far to long. To be blunt, Laurus was the keeper of Mind, Body and Soul.
Ingarath smirks at Kaen and Trinn.
Edum glances over at Trinn and Kaen, offering them a slight smile as his emerald eyes slide over them.
Kaen nudges Trinn playfully. "Blast it...it's been way too long, my love."
Meris blinks a few times at Alerac, shaking off a few fearfuly memories.
Edum pulls his knees up to his chest as his arms slide up to fold across them, he lowers his chin to them and tilts his eyes to study Dahla.
[Reinholt] says: He whispered in the wind to call upon the rains and the sun for the farmers, he moved mountains for the Dwarfs to build their homes, planted firm roots for the great trees of Kalimador. And he did this all without the lives of Azeroth knowing.
Kaen cooly takes the swords from his belt and places them at his side, along with his helmet, and instead puts on a headband.
[Reinholt] says: That is, of course, just a few of his doings, but we can save that for another time... Laurus lived in harmony for many, many years. The few humans who had stumbled upon his abode were understanding and left the great beast to his doings.
[Reinholt] says: Until one blasted day... A young practicer of the vile arts had took upon himself to capture a "dragon" for his experiments. During his younger years he had heard rumors of a Dragon living in the hills...
Kaen offers Trinn a loving smile,
[Reinholt] says: He made the trek to the area where the Dragon had been found in years past... He removed a soulstone and attacked the dragon unmercyful.
Dahla stiffens at the mention of a soulstone, her gaze dropping to the fire.
Bodhran smiles at Wren.
Wren grins wickedly at Bodhran.
Kaen notices Dahla's reaction, and scratches his head.
[Reinholt] says: The Dragons soul, being to strong, broke the hold of the soulstone. The force behind it had torn the man to shreds but left Laurus's soul bound to the physical realm...
[Reinholt] says: The very same thing he had protected our ancestors from had happened to him...
[Reinholt] says: That then great purveyor of life is now doomed to wander in our realm for eternity... We need to remember that power is not everything in this world... If abused or sought after unknowningly, it can be harmful to not only the wielder but the future gener
[Reinholt] says: ations of life...
[Reinholt] says: Look what we had done, look what we countinue you to do...
[Reinholt] says: That is all.
Bodhran grins wickedly at Wren.
Reucroft claps excitedly for Reinholt.
Xindo claps excitedly for Reinholt.
Bodhran claps excitedly for Reinholt.

Ingarath sighs softly.
[Ingarath] says: Anyone else....?
[Alerac] says: You broke the fire, man.
[Reucroft] says: I must be off. Thank you for this splendid evening.
[Ingarath] says: No...you suck at making them.
Wren comforts Alerac.
[Elaran] says: I am going to make a warning, now...if anyone has anymore stories, and they are depressing, I will work on serving them well-done.
Kaen raises a cool eyebrow
You laugh at Elaran.
Reucroft bows down graciously.
[Alerac] says: I'll flying tackle them first.
Reinholt whispers to Meris.
Meris looks down to Reinholt.
[Alerac] says: Well Ingarath, time to call it a night?
Ingarath looks up suddenly, distracted.
[Ingarath] says: Eh? What?
[Ingarath] says: Oh, sorry.
[Alerac] says: Go take your pills, man.
[Ingarath] says: Yes, I think so.
[Kaen] says: I apologise, Ingarath...my usual little story, song or poem isn't quite...well...made up, this week.
Wren smiles at Bodhran.
[Elaran] says: I'm depressed enough, that I'm tempted to head to Ironforge and take a chance on having my rear pinched by the native residents.
Trinn gives Kaen a curious look.
Ingarath grins at Kaen. "Then I'l hold you to it for next week. I've not heard you in a while."
Reinholt nods at Meris.
Kaen nods with a wry grin back at Ingarath
[Ingarath] says: Elaran, we can do that right here. Save you the trip.
You laugh at Elaran.
[Xindo] says: Im empty...
Kaen smirks at Trinn
[Elaran] says: Careful what you wish for, Ingarath...
Bodhran nods at Xindo.
Wren laughs at Bodhran.
Trinn rolls her eyes at Kaen's smirk.
[Elaran] says: But these gents have the right idea. Fireworks, to light the night!
Meris stares at Reinholt cooly.
Ingarath smiles.
Alerac waits for Reinholt to leave before trying to resume a conversatoin with Meris.
[Xindo] says: Ohh wow...
[Ingarath] says: Well....let me thank you all for coming.
Ingarath blinks at the magick usage.
Coober cowers in fear.
Kaen chuckles lightly
[Dahla] says: It's always a pleasure, Ingarath... despite it never being dull.
[Ingarath] says: ....Those are indeed fireworks.
Reinholt smiles at Meris.

Trinn grins at Ingarath.
Reinholt smiles at Mithril Dragonling.
Elaran chuckles at you.
[Meris] says: Thanks for coming everyone.
Kaen lets out a loud bark.
[Meris] says: Sorry I was so quiet...
[Elaran] says: Time for me to be off, as well.
Trinn notices Kaen putting on his weapons once more. "Going, again?"
Xindo waves at Meris.
[Elaran] says: Safe journeys to you all!
You grin wickedly at Meris.
Xindo waves at Alerac.
[Meris] says: Been a rough week...
Coober kneels down.
[Alerac] says: Take care, man.
Elaran blows you a kiss.
Meris smiles weakly at everyone.
[Ingarath] says: A rough week? Been a rough damned year.
[Wren] says: Goodnight everyone
Elaran waves goodbye to everyone. Farewell!
Kaen frowns
You bow before Wren.
Kelmag waves at Wren.
[Kelmag] says: Goodnigh'!
Coober pokes the fire.

Bodhran offers his hand to Wren
[Meris] says: Ah Xindo.
[Meris] says: What's with the weird looks?
[Kaen] says: Aye...I fear I must, the army calls me once more, my love.
Wren takes Bodhran's hand with a smile
[Kelmag] says: Tired Gerzul?
Trinn nods curtly.
Dahla brushes off her trousers, glancing back at Alerac. "Take care Alerac, and Meris."
[Trinn] says: Aye. Be safe.
[Wren] says: Fancy a bit of a walk?
[Kaen] says: I...wished to see your face...before I headed off.
[Alerac] says: Where are you going, Dahla?
[Gerzul] says: no' after all this
[Bodhran] says: aye, t'was exactly my thinking
Ingarath grins at Kaen.

Alerac glances back at Meris; she never answered his question.
You bow before Dahla.
Kelmag waves goodbye to Bodhran. Farewell!
[Gerzul] says: glad Eh could come
Ingarath looks around Dahla to the young rogue. "I don't know you, do I...?"
[Kelmag] says: Aye. Hope yeh liked me song.
Dahla shrugs briefly. "Don't know yet, but as things are breaking up... wouldn't want to forget."
Edum bows before you.
You bow before Edum.
Reinholt nods at Trinn.
Dahla gives Ingarath a quiet smile. "He's attended a few nights, Ingarath... this is Edum. Edum, our host, Ingarath."
[Meris] says: ABout what, Xindo?
[Edum] says: No you have not, Friend, I am Edum of Menethil Harbour, I am honoured to have been present for this event.
Kaen places a gentle hand on Trinn's cheek, a sad smile on his face as he kisses her tenderly.
Ingarath murmurs, "A proper introduction."
[Xindo] says: Mostly about Alerac...
Alerac grumbles a bit.
[Kaen] says: Tomorrow is our day, yes? Bloody hells...I hate leaving you now...

[Gerzul] says: guess so
Edum bows his head solemnly at Ingarath as he extends an arm,"I am honoured, Friend Ingarath, truly, it is my pleasure."
Kaen winces at ger words.
Alerac prods his fire in hopes it'll make it last longer.
[Alerac] says: Evenin, Aelannor, Niane. You missed it.
Aelannor nods.
Ingarath is rather confused with everything that is going on, but extends his hand to meet Edum's, shaking it.
[Niane] says: Missed what?
[Aelannor] says: What happened?
[Alerac] says: Eh, nothin.
[Ingarath] says: Indeed, indeed.
