“We meet this night, just outside the neutral City of Amnoon. There is a small, hidden shelf, just above the chaos of the local attacks. There we will gather, and plan, when the sun has faded, and the moon shines above. “

“What makes one nation believe they have the -right- to enter another, strip her of cultural artifacts, heritage and memory of such things, and then claim to be acting in the best interest of the aggrieved nation? How do they justify purchasing these very items, knowing fully where they were stolen from? Who -are- these Krytans? Soon enough we -will- know.”

[lathspellstormcrow]

“I am not pleased to hear this. Spread the word my Little Bird. There will be a gathering. Elona will rise, as One. They will hear our displeasure at the theft of our heritage. Now go.”

((Flashback - The Training - The Mesmer Collective))

The darkness of the cave was nearly as blinding as the intensity of the Sun. Lathspell stumbled in slowly, blinking several times as the walls provided a fair guide against the palm of his hand. Waiting, Stormcrow’s eyes adjust to the torches ahead.  

With an exasperated grunt, he makes his way deeper into the depths of darkness, the sweat trailing down his chest and back despite the coolness of the cave. Finally the wall falls away, into what appears to be a vast cavernous grotto, well lit for the flames of the immense fire in the center, and the many torches about.  Sitting beside the fire, is a linen wrapped form, head covered, legs crossed, seemingly intent on the snapping fire. Whilst no notice is taken of Crow who makes his way further toward the figure, the words echo around and inside his mind. 

“Come in, My Son. Sit. We have much to discuss.”

((Flashback - The Training begins - The Mesmer Collective ))

The ascent to the cave entrance was nothing short of a struggle for life and death. Between the local wildlife, the Awakened and the heat of the sun, Stormcrow falls onto his chest and face with the last push over the peak of the immense rock. 

Panting, trickles of sweat running down his face and neck, Crow lies there prone on the sandy ledge for several moments. Eyes closed, he speaks to himself quietly, reluctant to move for fear he will open his eyes and find a mirage, and not an actual cave entrance. 

“If this...is not the cave of the Elder....I may throw myself from this ledge.”  

The whispered words are spoken more to himself than any other, and yet, he is no longer alone when he speaks.  The deep, gravelly voice penetrates the air between them, before seeping into his brain, echoing within. 

“You have found the one you seek. Now rise. Come inside. I have been awaiting you.” 

[lathspellstormcrow]

“They call me Stormcrow. I am the bearer of unwanted news.”

[vetyss]

“One day…” She had said it like a promise. She didn’t know if he understood what she was saying, but it was there, hanging in the air if he wanted to take it. They had their moments, there was no denying what could be, but what was happening now is far more important. 

But still, the words hung in the air. “One day…”

(( @lathspellstormcrow ))

[lathspellstormcrow]

The grunted response belied his true thoughts, but after a long moment, he turned to look closer at her. “Yes. One day.”  The words sounded uncertain, yet...he said them back to her. “But first, we must learn the truth. First we must know if we have a far greater chance to save Elona than we imagined.”

[lathspellstormcrow]

“We are all in the food chain. Even the one at the top will one day meet its match.”

“She didn’t make the cut. We will need another…eventually. Perhaps next time we can choose someone who does not fear the world so much.” She sighed and glanced out the window as her thoughts formed into more words. “Crow . . . If they cannot stiffen their spine to the dangers of this world how could they ever survive ours?”

(( @lathspellstormcrow ))

[lathspellstormcrow]

“It ‘tis survival of the smartest in our world, yes? Those who cannot think, will die. Some little birds are not meant to fly with the eagles.”

(( @vetyss ))

The goals were simple. They were also met with style and humor. More than pleased, Vetyss couldn’t help but smile as she and the Stormcrow still in thier glamour disguises exited the casino. 

They had made contact. 

“Well, that was fun. Work and play at the same time. We should visit more often. Also…good work not laughing…Abu.” she taunted even as the glamour fell away to show her true features. Now with the mask gone she simply smiled and waited for the Crow to reply.

(( @lathspellstormcrow @iamkuryakin  and @duskystars @luxelen because I had a blast Ty so much!♥))

[lathspellstormcrow]

“I was in the presence of two beautiful women and all I could do was look away and grunt. Took everything in me. The important thing is, we made contact with her and Zalambur is aware we are back.”

(( @vetyss @duskystars ))

[vetyss]

“Yes, we are back…Old Zally seemed almost shocked.” another little smile came to her lips. “You always did like to collect all the pretty birds, like a crow with shiny things. It wasn’t that painful of a mask to wear, was it?”

(( @lathspellstormcrow @duskystars ))

[lathspellstormcrow]

“The easiest.”

“Don’t ask me whose side I am on. Ask me what I am willing to do for your side. Today.”

[vetyss]

“And again, Stormcrow…we find ourselves dancing to the same song. Where will you lead us all this time?”

[lathspellstormcrow]

“There is no telling, dove. Little Bird will find herself on unsteady ground. These are the shifting sands of Elona after all. A fact you are only too aware of. “

(( @vetyss ))

[lathspellstormcrow]

“Don’t ask me whose side I am on. Ask me what I am willing to do for your side. Today.”

[lathspellstormcrow]

“Gather whatever you need. I’ll meet you just outside the bone wall. Stay hidden. I’ll find you.”

[lathspellstormcrow]

“I travel soon. To the front. They push us too far, and we must strike back or die beneath their feet.”

[lathspellstormcrow]

“ Now we commune with the dead. They are our allies.”
