The Return of Darvyn: Part 2
The young woman who entered the room was not the same toddler who had sat upon Darvyn’s knee in her youth. No. This was the physician who attended him now. A daughter among nobility, a servant to her people, a maiden and a young woman of exceptional skill. All of this was met through the merits of not only a unique mind but hard work and dedication as well. And the reason she was summoned? Was because unlike many who espoused a gifting over the arts of healing, Aeviara subscribed to a particular vein of medicine which included traditional hands-on knowledge and the implementation of magic that worked hand in glove with her techniques. Techniques which had taken decades to learn and even more decades to hone to her particular level of prowess.
Darvyn Sai’darn looked like anyone else laid out upon the table and for her part, Anashae had done well by him. The room smelled strongly of antiseptic and his wounds had been painstakingly stitched with thread which would disintegrate with time. On his flesh, too, there were circles drawn about the points which were deepest and might require the most focus. Her godmother, the scientist Anashae Dawnbringer was meticulous to a fault. The incisions were cleanly done and the wounds tidy. Her inspection of them found Aeviara looking from Darvyn’s back to Anashae’s face. “Have you administered antibiotic yet?” A nod was given as well as details as to which one and how much. The young physician found this to be acceptable. “And when was the last time you dosed him? What are his other injuries?”
“He has three broken ribs, lash marks on his chest as well, and… “ Anashae’s voice trailed off for a moment as she looked down to the man who had been more of a father to her than her own. Her throat felt thick for a moment, but she managed to continue. “Someone caught him with a blade here.” A solitary hand rose to draw a line from the underside of his jaw near the ear down his neck. “Two more inches to the left, Aevi…” It was odd that the staggered breath did not come from Aeviara.
“Best not to fret on what didn’t happen. I need to focus. Either monitor his vitals and keep him under, or clear out.” The Starsong Lady was already setting up a small side table with the things that she would need. Reconstruction of this magnitude took time but was better when attended to before scar tissue had taken root. It wasn’t impossible, but it was hard.
In the hours to come, Anashae described the deepest of wounds as Aeviara utilized her technique in assessment and probed the wounds. Her godmother had done a good job in ferreting out the debris, though one or two of the sites required opening for her to gather small slivers and cleanse. Soft words spilled from her lips as light pooled in her hand and bent to the mastery of not only her will, but her skill. It was grueling work, fragile work. And despite all of it, Darvyn would be confined in his movements and recovery for some weeks to come.
When everything was said and done, the small blonde slumped down against the table and closed her eyes. Anashae moved her into one of the spare rooms and went back to stand guard over the still sleeping man. She was the first thing he saw when he awoke. Well, three of her at any rate.
“Pet?” he croaked out to the darkly clad woman who was propped up on her elbow under her chin as she sat there sleeping. Those eyes flew open. “Don’t move. We’ve got your back bandaged up, but there is more to be done. Aevi did a good job, but the tissue is fragile and requires you to stay still. If you have pain, I can give you a dose.”
A grunt was his reply. “No. Just tell me that everyone is alright for the moment. I need to know.” Anashae looked up at him and nodded, “Everyone is alright, now rest.” He heaved out a sigh, “You wouldn’t lie to me would you?” he asked. “Not about this, and not ever unless it was to keep your sorry ass alive or safe. Now sleep or I’m knocking you out again.” He noted that she was already up and was about to comment when he felt a pinch. The room blurred. So much for not doping him.

The Return of Darvyn: Part 1
His summon had not been unexpected, it was merely a matter of when. The project had been put on hold for now, other forces were at bay and the world as they knew it had been turned on end, again. Whatever guiding force of the universe, the sun, the gods, all of it… they had a certain flare for the dramatic. By now, she found it tedious and yet it wasn’t a time for apathy. There was too many fronts to be secured.
“Letting yourself be heard these days, Pet?” came the question from Darvyn’s lips as he hunched over a gun. The room was otherwise silent, save for the clicking sounds and scuffing of grinder to metal which he meted out with precise strokes.
“Only for you. You know the drill on a re-entry. And you’re not facing the door, Darvyn. How bad is it? What did they do?” That normally sultry voice was almost quiet now. And he remained quiet for a long moment as he shrugged off the leather jacket that shrouded his frame. The hiss that filled the air came from her lips in response. Even though lengths of gauze swaddled his torso, the damage was severe, it didn’t even take a trained eye to tell. This was bad.
In the moments to follow, the raven-haired woman began to undo the bloodied bandaging and inspect things further herself. And as she beheld the injuries as they lay bare now in her sight, anger burned within her soul. “I’ll get the med kit. There are still shards buried in the flesh and festering. I am going to have to carve you so I’ll prepare a sedative… I wish he was here right now.”
Darvyn turned and reached with a grimace to place a hand atop hers. “You know why Aradoth cannot be here right now, Pet. There are things he has to know. And if the situation were reversed…”
“I know,” she snapped before biting down on the inside of her lip. “It doesn’t make it easy. And he’d have wanted to be here for this, to help with this. For you.” Darvyn, for his part, lowered his head in thought and nodded as his mind turned to the young man. He hadn’t felt a bond like that since the day he’d met the little scrawny slip of a nine year old some six hundred years prior. “Not sure I’d want him to see me this busted up. Sometimes the things we have to do to keep from blowing a cover are…” “Ridiculous?” she offered with a sharpness that actually surprised him. “Among other things,” he countered with a wry grin.
A breath was drawn through gritted teeth as she swept aside his gun workings and the sound of them clattering to the floor drew a litany of curses from his mouth. “You’re more important,” she bit out in frustration as the stench flared in her nostrils again. Darvyn didn’t argue. She began to move around him after wiping down the table and placing a clean sheet upon it but the man stopped her. “The back is the worst of it presently, tend to that.” The look he was given was murderous, but for the moment she complied. Once he was doped, he’d have no choice and be unable to resist. She secured the perimeter though before proceeding. Some things were never left to chance.
“There’s something else, but do what you need to do right now. It’ll keep.” She didn’t insist on knowing, not one bit. This was going to take hours just to remove the bits that had been left embedded in his skin and muscle. “This looks like fel-shards and metal spikes on the end of a cat of nine tails?” Darvyn chuckled and nodded, “You remember your weaponry well. And it isn’t like we haven’t done the same. This time it just happens to be me. It’s going to take a bit of work on my end to set things to rights again. You remember the last time.” She plucked a piece of fel crystal out of one of the gashes wordlessly, her lips pressed into a thin line.
Needle and syringe were employed before the woman went about beginning to pick pieces from his flesh and opening up festering pockets that had begun to heal around damage.“I know. And I’ll be sending for the little one and don’t you argue. You’ll not get proper range of motion without her and you know it.” A grunt came as the reply. He had known that much when he sent for Anashae. It was something he would not fight as much as he wanted to. And she wasn’t exactly a little girl anymore, no, Aevi-doll was all grown up.

EXCITERATED FOR PATCH DAY?

Big content patches before an expansion can be overwhelming, stressful, and really hectic. Please remember that people aren’t ignoring you.
Many people are feeling just as spazzed out as you are over it.
Many people are feeling like they didn’t get the things done they needed to get done.
Many people get anxious over class changes too. (Lord knows I do.)
Many people will be on an OCD compelled competition with their OCD to get their wardrobe filled out because they need to have all 500 helms whether they’ll ever wear them or not. It isn’t their fault. It won’t be like this forever.
Please, please, please take the time to eat a snack, drink enough, and take care of your personal stuff.
Please, please, please remember that no one is ignoring you.
Your role-play isn’t dying. Your partner/s and friend/s have not lost interest in YOU or your story.
PLEASE remember that whether it is this major patch or expansion itself that most of us have been through this before and that in the end, the dust will settle and things will be fine.
Prepare yourself mentally and emotionally for people just being a little quiet.
Ask if folks are up for discord or voice or just put on some upbeat music and try to enjoy exploring some of the new features yourself. And if they’re not, that’s okay.
All in all, take a breath. Remember that it is just as frightening and exciting for everyone else as it is you. And we’re all in this together. Be a pal, add encouragement to this if you can.
@terenus
I’m just saying, take courage. That and pretty much that alone is never the incorrect thing to do.

😱... @anashae
This was one of the BEST days of his life, dogs are AWESOME! He had a bright smile on his face that absolutely lit up his features as he strolled along….well, more like was tugged along by the dogs he had on various length leashes. He wasn’t sure how many there were, but there were A LOT and it was AMAZING! Stumbling a few times as one of the larger dogs tried to dart away, they were quickly reined in with a sharp tug of the leashes.
He walked down the path in Eversong Woods, whistling a happy tune until the dogs came into sight of a new person! Naturally they all wanted to sniff, so with a quickened pace they rushed over to the dark-haired woman with wagging tails.
“Sorry! Hard to control ‘em all, but they’re so damn friendly eh?” Indeed they were, just your typical household dogs that wanted the attention of everyone!
“Are they all yours?”
“Ohhhh, nahh. There was a lil’ girl walking some of them back in the city, told her I could do it for her and she could go get icecream. Then others were chained up outside of stores or homes, they looked like they could use a good walk so here we are!”
He looked so proud.
Someone should probably inform him it’s a crime to steal dogs.
((33. Walking thirty dogs through the park))
@anashae
Both eyebrows rose as the dark haired woman saw the man, the look of polite shock registered even from a ways away. And then the dogs were rushing towards her. Maybe if she looked away... Nope.
As the facts came trailing in bit by bit after she’d asked if they were his, she couldn’t help but smile. The truth of it was, she almost laughed. He was so proud. It was adorable. Anashae had met all manner of men in her lifetime. Some were crazy, some were crazy while claiming to be sane, some were sane while acting crazy, and some were just hard to tell about. Oddities didn’t really phase her. You couldn’t always tell a book by the cover.
His reasoning and explanation were simplistic and that was okay. After a few moments of watching him being tugged about by the animals, she ventured another question or two. “So, how are you going to get them all back home? And what exactly are you going to do if they decide to take a collective shit on the sidewalk in the city? They have some pooper scooper rule in effect. That’s alot of shit to handle, no offense.”

It’s easy to take off your clothes and have sex. People do it all the time. But opening up your soul to someone, letting them into your spirit, thoughts, fears, future, hopes, dreams… that is being naked.

Eight Forms of Creating Potions
Yes, this is from a Hogwarts text, however, the information contained therein is accurate and relevant and certainly worth sharing on this blog, if only to fully expand upon the type of material I hope to cover here.
Infusions
An infusion is a form of water based potion, similar to a tea, and best suited for immediate ingestion of delicate ingredients such leaves or petals. To make a magical infusion: pour boiling water over your ingredients in goblet and leave to infuse for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently. Strain before drinking if necessary. The leaves in an infusion need to steep longer than your average herbal tea, to allow enough time to release their phytochemicals, which are the active ingredients of the potion.
Decoctions
A decoction is another water based potion designed for immediate ingestion. However, it is a more concentrated brew than an infusion and is usually reserved for tougher ingredients such as roots or bark – where prolonged stewing is needed to release the phytochemicals. A decoction can also be reduced, which is to say, it can be made more concentrated by prolonged simmering which evaporates the water. To make a decoction: simmer your ingredients in water in a cauldron over low heat for 10-30 minutes; then strain. Reduce if necessary with further simmering over a low heat.
Tinctures
A tincture is an alcohol based potion. It fulfills the same function as an infusion or decoction but with the added advantage that it will keep for up to a year. A tincture is suitable for both delicate leaves and tougher materials such as bark as the alcohol releases the chemicals very effectively and in a similar way to the prolonged simmering of a decoction. To make a tincture: steep your ingredients in vodka or another spirit for a week. This allows time for the alcohol to release the active elements in your plant materials. After a week, strain off the liquid into a vial and store for up to a year. Administer sparingly, a tablespoon at a time.
Vinegars
A vinegar fulfils the same purpose as a tincture except that vinegar is used instead of alcohol. Prepare your vinegar in the same manner as a tincture and store for up to a year. A vinegar is useful in the case of alcohol intolerance or where the herb used is particularly bitter as the vinegar will mask it to a great extent.
Syrups
A syrup is the most palatable form of potion. Here magical ingredients are preserved in a sugar solution. A syrup is another potion that will keep for up to a year. It is best suited for occasional use at it is very sweet and could cause tooth decay if taken regularly. A syrup can be taken by the spoonful or alternatively diluter in water in a similar manner to a fruit squash. To make a syrup: first make an infusion or decoction of your ingredients and reduce if necessary. Strain and add sugar to the potion, stirring frequently, until the brew won’t dissolve any more sugar and resembles a syrup. Store in an airtight bottle in a cool, dark place.
Poultices
A poultice is a wad of chopped plant material that is held in place directly over a wound by a bandage. To prepare a poultice: chop your fresh herb and apply directly to a wound or infection. Hold in place over the wound with a bandage. If using chopped dried herbs rehydrate them with some water first. If the herb is tough and hard to handle, try adding some vinegar diluter in water to your poultice.
Fomentations
Fomentations or compresses are cloths that have been dipped in an herbal solution – such as an infusion, decoction, or a tincture – and then are applied to a wound. To prepare a fomentation: first create the required infusion, decoction, or tincture. Then dip your cloth into the liquid, quite liberally, and apply. It is important to use a very clean cloth to prevent the spread of infection.
Salves
A salve is very similar to a lotion or a cream. Magical ingredients are mixed in base of oils or fats for external application to the skin.
