Re: The Secret of the Black Riders
Eowyna watched, her eyes wide with fear, as the conflict swarmed around them. And as the black riders were driven away, she felt Maddux relax against her. She started to speak, but the look in his eyes told her to remain quiet. So they remained totally still and silent for some time, though she knew he must be in great pain. The riders in retreat, and spirits of the undead now dissapated, they were left alone again with the single pixie.
Where had the undead spirits come from? With their tracking ability, the riders would surely have found them, had it not been for the timely intervention of the spirits. Eowyna knew of very few who could command the undead with such ease, and she strongly suspected that they owed their freedom, if not their very lives, to the Olath Fahliell. He, himself, had not appeared, but the presense of the pixie explained that! She closed her eyes and send a silent thought of thanks across the ether to Miacus, "Usstan bel'la dos whol lil beldol del ussta dro, jhal mzild taga nindel, Usstan bel'la dos whol lil beldol del lil dro ussta seriso." She would thank him properly when next she saw him.
She glanced at Maddux. His eyes were closed and she could see that his jaw was clinched tightly. She risked moving slightly, to ease his pain somewhat. "Maddux? A'maelamin?" she whispered, touching his face lightly with her hand. "I can help the pain just a little." and she softly spoke the charm, "Ed i' vanim en' i' Vanya, Amin yewl llie seere." She saw that he was drifting and turned his face toward her. "Ma ie amin!" and he opened his eyes. "I know that it does not help too much, and I cannot heal these wounds with simple healing spells. The long healing songs must be sung, and even then, many days of rest must follow. I am taking you to the house in Yew. I will make a gate. You must change to the wolf, so that you may follow through. I know that it will not be easy, but you must call upon Fenmarel to help you. It is the only way, Mornin'elamin."
"Vas Rel Por" and a shimmering gate appeared to the vicinity of Heartwood.
