Heartwood…..

Emma was getting very frustrated. She had been in Heartwood for eight days now and nothing!!

Find the rogue elves Tiberius said, sure I said. Thought Emma

She had been turned down on her requests for information or help of any kind and gotten many different versions of the answer no.

Salaenih, I will not waist my time with these foolish questions, leave me to my work.

Anolly, I care not of Human wars leave me to my peace.

Daecles, The stench of the Humans is upon you Emma Silvermane. Cleanse yourself and come home to us.

Clehin, *sniffs air* bah!! Out of my site halfbreed!!!

Alejaha, Begone, and do not return to Heartwood, you are a traitor to the Humans and a heathen to the elves!!

I wonder where all the hostility and bigotry has come from? She thought. Well I have to do something.

And it looks like ill not find help here. Maybe…..She opens her runebook and finds the rune she is looking for.

Kal Ort Por!!!

The Swamp….

M’Lord!!!! Welcome home I will ready your chambers!!


No. I shall not be staying long. I am here to wash up and change clothes and then I will be heading into town. Said Tiberius.

Very well sir I will ready your bath and set out some fresh clothes.

Thank you Franklen, what would I do without you? I will be in my office. Please let me know when things ready.

It will be done sir!


*sigh* at least we have help…

After bathing and dressing is was time to go back to Guardians Gate.

Franklen I will be coming home tonight, and I feel a chill in the air. please have fresh linins on the bed a fire in the hearth and some burgundy warmed.

Sanctum Viatas!

Guardians Gate…

Sara!!!

Commodore!! Any news??

We have another alliance, but at this time id rather not discuss it. How is Fignut?

Something new, every time the ground shakes he looks off into space and gets an odd look in his eyes…almost as if he is waiting for something, when the ground stops shaking he comes back and doesn’t seem to remember what he was thinking about…it is very odd.

Yes I have seen things like that, it Port Baldmor half of the pirates are infected with blackrock and doing much the same thing. And Magincia well, that town is coming apart its like everyone there has gone mad.

The elves have grown more hostile and bigoted then ever. Its like the world is coming apart around us.

It gets better, while you have been away Roland was dethroned in Pax Oku. Deus Ex Machina has takin the throne and the red guard vanished almost at the very same moment. Angus had a spy in place that said right after Roland and what was left of his allies left Lord Gareth went into chambers with the new emperor…Sloth…when he came back out about 10 minutes later he disbanded the red guard. And that is all we know right now.

And Minerva?? Melantha?? Have you been able to find them??

No Commodore we have not. Also since the battle we have not seen Roland and Gowron has been out hunting down some Juka that were spotted north of here a couple days ago, he sent a message back saying he thought that we were dealing with a handful of stragglers left over from the Juka war.

I have some things that I must do Sara. Do you have time to come to HQ with me and give me a full report?

Full report Commodore? Am I one of your deck hands?

No never I am sorry Sara I just need brought up on events and I have little time, which I am sure you are short on as well.

Your right I am very short on time as well but you do need filled in, yes ill join you but it wont be a long “report” Commodore.

Again I am sorry for that Sara. Are you as good at keeping Fignut inline as you are all of us??

Sadly, no I cant get him to do anything!!!!

A full throated laugh escaped his lips, That Sara does not surprise me in the least. Ok so what else do I need to know?

Well the healers have Angus almost completely healed, though that lag has made them keep it slow, they say another day or two and he will be one hundred percent again. He has begun running GG again and has become more like the Angus I know since he was able to move around and see that Guardians Gate wasn’t hit as bad as he thought it was. Also Nevyn is in Britton in conference with the King. He said he would send a pigeon as soon as he could. Guardians Gate is rebuilding and seems to be out of danger. That’s pretty much it Tiberius.

No, its not. Lord Gareth is up to something, and if its what I think it is were going to need all the help we can get. BREALIN!!!!!

Yes M’Lord???

Brealin I need you to get a pigeon off to Tempus Hawk. Tell him he is ordered to report to HQ ASAP.

Tell him to be ready to do some traveling.

Yes M’Lord and she turned and left.

Sara, Have you seen Maverick lately?

Yesterday I think. Why?

I need to talk to her. She may be able to get us some more help should we need it.

What are you thinking Tib?

I am thinking Lord Gareth has joined Deus Ex Machina . And that could be very vary bad.

I’ll say. Should I tell Angus?

No not yet. Let me confirm it first. Go back to work Sara. I’ll let you know something more as soon as I know.

Ok Tib See you later.

M’Lord Brealin said, The pigeon has been sent.

Thank you Brealin. Hurry Up Tempus………….

~The End~
