Osiruk
Saraphin: I was there then...
T.A. Grimbergen: ooc Hello!
Maglor the Singer: And General Hetti slew the pirates as wheat before the scythe
Saraphin: Not only where the pirates there for you,
Kyilaliana Jadystana: ooc-hi Blef
Saraphin: I was
Philip Cruz'ado: ooc: Hi
Saraphin: remember?
Maglor the Singer: Grimbergen, thank the Gods!
Saraphin: *smiles at TA*
Maglor the Singer: All too well do I remember that grim day, Saraphin.
T.A. Grimbergen: This is a rough and tumble ride...
Maglor the Singer: Indeed, Grimbergen!
Saraphin: It was the next morn that was bad. *looks distant*
Maglor the Singer: There have been manuy bad days here on Jackelpine. And our losses threaten to overwhelm us
Saraphin: True, but good ones too
T.A. Grimbergen: *wraps arms around kyil*
Maglor the Singer: The good days have been the fewer
Saraphin: hmm... There have been hard days yes
Philip Cruz'ado: *finishing up his work, he gathers his armor and supplies from the table*
Saraphin: Loosing Vren was hard
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *huddles in TA's embrace*
Saraphin: but would have been far worse to have not lost him, as Phillip has
Maglor the Singer: But Vren was the only loss you have seen us endure
Kyilaliana Jadystana: Vr...Vren...
Saraphin: to have lost him...
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *clutches hands to chest with concern*
Saraphin: Means we got to have him, to loose
T.A. Grimbergen: *gulps hard at the sound of vren's name*
Philip Cruz'ado: *placing the armor in his pack, along with the supplies, then securely closes it.*
Maglor the Singer: We have lost many companions: Zeal Lustrous, valiant warrior
Saraphin: and I value having met him
Maglor the Singer: Malcolm Grey, noble and stern. and poor, mad Polradia. And then, there are those whom we have slain
Saraphin: mad?
Maglor the Singer: innocents
Saraphin: ah...
Philip Cruz'ado: *leans into the chair, his eyes closing*
Saraphin: But what of the good you have acomlished?
Maglor the Singer: Kyil, do you not remember the child that led us into the woods when we fought the fire demons?
Saraphin: I heard good things of you...
Maglor the Singer: It is true, we have done what we can do.....but it has taken its toll upon us
Saraphin: *gently starts to rub Maglor's back*
Maglor the Singer: Grimbergen's smile is not as bright as it once was
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *sadly, voice like a whisper* Vr...Vren and I o...often sp...spoke about elvish sp...spirits as stars in t...the n...night sky. Now...Now I c...cannot look up w...without wondering wh...which one is Vr...Vren...
Maglor the Singer: Aye.....I remember his tale, cousin.
Saraphin: *smiles softly at Kyilaliana*
T.A. Grimbergen: He the brightest one up there....
Saraphin: He is with his wife
Maglor the Singer: And may he look down on his poor companions with fond remembrance
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *smiles hopefully at Saraphin*
Maglor the Singer: In many ways, I envy Counsellor Moonbeam
Saraphin: He loved her dearly. We spoke of her at length. It brought me faith in love. Not all love is flowerly *glances at Maglor* Some is gentle and pure. *smiles in fond rememberance*
Philip Cruz'ado: *his hand slowly moves to his chest, grasping something there tightly*
Maglor the Singer: Speak not to Maglor of love........it hath betrayed him too often
Saraphin: *looks gently over at Philip* Love is a painfull thing. I know that well...
T.A. Grimbergen: No Maglor...love has never betrayed you....I believe it is the only thing that keeps you alive
Saraphin: *smiles wryly* but you still love your children?
Maglor the Singer: Aye....love keeps me alive that it may torture me all the longer
Saraphin: and Belindra through them
Philip Cruz'ado: *his face still, he glances over at T.A's words then dips his head slightly*
Saraphin: You have not lost her, you know
Kyilaliana Jadystana: I...I did not kn...know love b...between a man and w...woman until I c...came out here a...away from h...home. But it is m...more wonderful than I w...would have i...imagined. *looks deeply into TA's eyes*
Maglor the Singer: Maglor must love.....and yet know that love have no love for Maglor
T.A. Grimbergen: *smiles a warm smile at Kyil*
Saraphin: I am sorry Maglor. I cannot restore that for you
Maglor the Singer: *smiles
Saraphin: but I can give you my blessing
T.A. Grimbergen: *looks at Phillip with concern but hides it as much as possible*
Saraphin: *smiles* that is for you to Philip. *smiles warmly at him* For all of you
Maglor the Singer: Your gift is gracious
Philip Cruz'ado: *His hand opens, and he interlaces them across his chest* oh? Thank you, then.
Kyilaliana Jadystana: Th...Thank you, S...Saraphin.
Saraphin: Love is something odd... Aphrodite sent me to you to learn of it
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *blinks curiously*
Saraphin: So I could be what she needs me to be. *smiles softly*
Maglor the Singer: *looks puzzled
Saraphin: I am exactly where I am supposed to be right now. I realize that now
Maglor the Singer: *strokes chin
Saraphin: *slight chuckle*
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *smiles warmly* Th...That is a w...wonderful re...revelation, S...Saraphin.
T.A. Grimbergen: Oh?
Saraphin: I wish I could talk about it more. it is so knew to me, all that I have discovered
Maglor the Singer: May your outlook always be so bright
Kyilaliana Jadystana: And m...me as w...well.
Saraphin: I am terified, delighted, hurt, anxious, happy, overwelmed
Maglor the Singer: None of these compare with being heart-broken
Philip Cruz'ado: I hope your certainty brings you strength, Priestess.
Saraphin: I do not think I am supposed to have an easy life *smiling* But I have a duty to do. I have seen heartbroken often. it has the same intensity as first love...
Maglor the Singer: Then surely you recognize its symptoms in Maglor
Saraphin: It calms
Maglor the Singer: And in Grimbergen
Saraphin: trust me
Maglor the Singer: And in poor, gentle Kyil
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *blushes*
Maglor the Singer: And you, Philip
Saraphin: It will grow into something easier to bear
Philip Cruz'ado: Me? What of me?
Saraphin: Yes, even in Sweet Lytha do I see the stains of love
T.A. Grimbergen: *nods*
Maglor the Singer: Do you not see how these new companions of thine have become something different....something broken
Saraphin: none of you are unaffected by it
Kyilaliana Jadystana: Br...Broken?
T.A. Grimbergen: Broken?
Maglor the Singer: Indeed, Grimbergen!
Saraphin: Maglor, you are broken. and Philip too
Philip Cruz'ado: They seem as when we met.
Maglor the Singer: I myself see the lines etched on thy young face
Saraphin: and Lytha. But those too...
Maglor the Singer: And thee, cousin! Thy heart has borne too much grief!
Saraphin: Those to will be just fine
Kyilaliana Jadystana: But M...Maglor...
Saraphin: *takes Maglor'a hand* *pulls him toward Kyili*
T.A. Grimbergen: *reluctantly nods*
Saraphin: *takes his hand up to Kyili's face*
Kyilaliana Jadystana: My...My heart has c...come to kn...know much h...happiness as w...well.
Philip Cruz'ado: *watches them with interest
Saraphin: *and traces over some lines of it* Do you see the strength there?
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *blinks nervously*
Saraphin: Do you see the courage. and even the love...
Maglor the Singer: Aye, none would say she is weak or cowardly!
Saraphin: yes, there are lines of sorrow. But they come with the maturity that this face now bears. *smiles at Kyilaliana*
Kyilaliana Jadystana: Well, I...um...*blushes, looks about awkwardly*
Saraphin: I have so much faith in her. *looks to Maglor's eye* I even have faith in you
Maglor the Singer: *eyes brim
T.A. Grimbergen: You have grown much in strength, dear. I'm glad everyone can see it as well as I.
Saraphin: *focuses on Maglor's eyes*
Maglor the Singer: *tries to smile
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *stares at feet* I...I wish I h...had such f...faith in my...myself. I...I try to see it b...but I c...cannot f...find it when I...I need it m...most.
Saraphin: *smiles gently at him* *trying to catch his eyes fully with hers*
T.A. Grimbergen: *gently tilts Kyil's head up bye the chin*
Maglor the Singer: *avoids her eyes
T.A. Grimbergen: I've seen you do many times. Never worry...I know you will find it when the time comes
Saraphin: *smiles softly, sadly, and looks to the floor*
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *looks up, eyes full of uncertainy and affection*
Saraphin: *drops Maglor's hand*
Kyilaliana Jadystana: I...*brings hands to chest, tightly clasped together*
T.A. Grimbergen: *clasps her hands in his and looks into Kyil's eyes*
Saraphin: *eyes glance to his knowingly*
Philip Cruz'ado: *looks away from TA & Kyil, following Maglor and Sara*
T.A. Grimbergen: My love...
Maglor the Singer: *bends to kiss her
Saraphin: *looks shocked*
Kyilaliana Jadystana: M...Maglor!
Maglor the Singer: *turns away
T.A. Grimbergen: *kisses her on the forehead, then the cheeks, then the mouth* *suddenly stops kiss and stares in shock*
Saraphin: *watches Maglor*
Maglor the Singer: What? Am I such a monster, then?
Kyilaliana Jadystana: M...Mppfft...*eyes still closed, snaps back to* M...Maglor...
Saraphin: Do you think I think that of you?
T.A. Grimbergen: *laughs heartily(
Saraphin: that you are a monster? *looks perplexed*
T.A. Grimbergen: No no...it's good to have you back to your oldself. I was begiing to worry
Maglor the Singer: It is nothing.....let us speak of this no more
Saraphin: As you wish
T.A. Grimbergen: *mutters* took him long enough....
Philip Cruz'ado: *shrugs, leaning back in his chair again*
Saraphin: *smiles* I love traveling on boats* I love the waves underneath
Maglor the Singer: I wonder how long we will be at sea?
Saraphin: *smiles lightly*
T.A. Grimbergen: Have any of you spoken to the captain?
Kyilaliana Jadystana: TA, I...*takes his hand, lacing her fingers through his*...I w...want to be the w...woman you s...see in y...yours eyes. To be th...that wh...which you h...have so m...much faith in. I...I will t...try ha...harder!
Saraphin: Silvcem, E ils nyymeeyla amirilan ean ela aey amillanaw ane latyailn ane sa eo
T.A. Grimbergen: *looks deeply into her luminous eyes* That's the Kyil I love...the unrelenting spirit.
Maglor the Singer: Amirilan ilma aey anilcnelv ilfeyan?
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *blinks with renewed confidence, smiles brilliantly*
Saraphin: Aey amillanaw ane latyailn ane sa tymeelilanaca faoema

T.A. Grimbergen: Where are they off to/ ?
Philip Cruz'ado: *shrugs* Best ask your Lady, my young friend. I do not speak the Elves' tongue.
T.A. Grimbergen: Hmmm...you seem to know much more than you let out...
Kyilaliana Jadystana: I...I, um, th...think there h...have retired to pr...private q...quarters.
Philip Cruz'ado: *snorts* You learn things, standing a watch or two.
T.A. Grimbergen: Oh! I thought they went to see the captain..
Kyilaliana Jadystana: Oh! Um, m...maybe. *blushes*
T.A. Grimbergen: Um...maybe...
Philip Cruz'ado: *glances at Kyil* You did not understand their words, m'lady?
Kyilaliana Jadystana: Um...*stares at feet*...m...maybe I sh...should not h...have s...said.
T.A. Grimbergen: *grins*
Kyilaliana Jadystana: Th...They...I...*voices trails off*
Philip Cruz'ado: *quietly* She serves Aphrodite, he is recently widowed. No more need be said, m'lady.
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *whispers* I th...think they d...did not w...wish for us to kn...know. I sh...should not have s...said and then s...said I did n...not know. *looks flustered*
T.A. Grimbergen: Ah...I'll pretend I heard nothing from you then *winks*
Philip Cruz'ado: *quietly* I think he cares not, m'Lady. And she merely serves her Goddess. 'Twas plain enough.
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *smiles appreciatively* Oh? *blinks curiously*
T.A. Grimbergen: That is true...
Philip Cruz'ado: *nods* If they were to see our Captain, why speak in a tongue only some know?
Kyilaliana Jadystana: Oh...r..right. Y..Yes, th...that is so.
T.A. Grimbergen: Oh...yeah
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *coils ringlet of hair, chews split end*
Philip Cruz'ado: And you *had* just been speaking of Love.
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *nods hesitantly*
T.A. Grimbergen: Come then...shall we find the captain and inquire of the status of this trip?
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *rumages through her pack* O...Okay.
Philip Cruz'ado: If you wish.
T.A. Grimbergen: Were you looking for something, Kyil?
Philip Cruz'ado: *gathers his pack, shouldering it*
Kyilaliana Jadystana: Well, y...yes. But I am m...missing a few com...components for the t...task.
T.A. Grimbergen: Components...task? You're not learning some cantrips now, are you?
Philip Cruz'ado: Hmm. Seems we've stopped moving forward.
T.A. Grimbergen: You mean the ship?
Philip Cruz'ado: I'll head above, to check.
T.A. Grimbergen: Aye.
Kyilaliana Jadystana: I...I thought per...perhaps I c...could attempt cr...crafting my own ar...arrows. I...I have st...studied their con...construction carefully and be...believe I could s...succeed.
Philip Cruz'ado: [Shout] *back toward the hold* Seems we're here
Kyilaliana Jadystana: Oh!
T.A. Grimbergen: Ah...the tought never occred to me. Now we don't have to depend on the shopkeepers..good idea! Great! Let's go topside!
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *nods*
Saraphin: *face covered in genuine concern*
Maglor the Singer: [Whisper] for my part, I say we get back on the ship and continue to Esirup
T.A. Grimbergen: What of our general and the girl?
Philip Cruz'ado: *hand tightens upon his swordhilt*
Saraphin: *eyes plead to Maglor*
Kyilaliana Jadystana: [Whisper] Wh...What?
Maglor the Singer: Aye....Grimbergen.....we would be well-served to have Spag here now
Saraphin: Yes, we should return to the boat
T.A. Grimbergen: [Whisper] But didn't the harbourmaster say they don't know where Esirup is?
Saraphin: [Whisper] yes that he did...
Maglor the Singer: [Whisper] I fear we may have been betrayed
Saraphin: Excuse me
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *clutches hands to chest with concern*
Saraphin: Sir. May I ask a question of you?
Maglor the Singer: We have arrived at a slaver's haven, have we not?
T.A. Grimbergen: What?!
Saraphin: Where are we?
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *ears twitch nervously*
JP SW Island Guard: A slavers haven? I do not understand?
Maglor the Singer: That ape you see before you, Grimbergen, is a filthy slaver!
Philip Cruz'ado: *quietly loosens his blade in its scabbard*
Saraphin: Where is this place that we have landed?
T.A. Grimbergen: [Whisper] how can you tell?
Maglor the Singer: [Whisper] he told me as much
JP SW Island Guard: Ye have landend on the island of passage
Saraphin: of passage?
T.A. Grimbergen: *sighs*
Saraphin: What ever do you mean?
T.A. Grimbergen: [Whisper] we've been sold out....
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *reaches behind her back trembling, fingering her bow*
JP SW Island Guard: aye if ye are to move onward ye must not be a slave
Maglor the Singer: [Whisper] again!
T.A. Grimbergen: What means you, onward?
Philip Cruz'ado: You do not allow slaves upon this Isle?
Saraphin: what do you mean move onward. We need to return to Esirup
JP SW Island Guard: We return slaves to their owners
Maglor the Singer: Hark you all! That makes him a slaver!
Philip Cruz'ado: *features harden at the guard's words*
Saraphin: if we do not get there, a child will die
Philip Cruz'ado: *coldly* then ye aid them.
JP SW Island Guard: ye are not marked as a slave m'lday ye may pass
Kyilaliana Jadystana: We...We are n...not slaves! Pl...Please let us p...p...pass!
Saraphin: *sighs deeply*
JP SW Island Guard: Show me thy shoulder and ye may pass
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *ears twitch nervously*
Saraphin: Where are the others still asleep on the ship?
Philip Cruz'ado: *nods* Aye.
Saraphin: We need our companions, we must not leave them behind
Saraphin: [Whisper] come with me
Saraphin: *gestures to Maglor*
Saraphin: [Whisper] we must decide what to do. Killing him is not wise, even if it si just. we will never survive to leave here as we are if the whole town is after us
Maglor the Singer: Nay, we cannot slay him now......but remember his face
JP SW Island Guard: Slay me now?
Saraphin: [Whisper] Maglor, Whisper

Saraphin: You cannot even for the greater good have patience
Kyilaliana Jadystana: M...Millaniram, anirilan ira...ira...ira...
Philip Cruz'ado: Well, singer. It seems your tongue has sealed their gates to us. How now do you propose to return to your home?
Maglor the Singer: We get back aboard ships and sail there!
Saraphin: do you know how to sail a ship?
Philip Cruz'ado: You can operate the ship?
JP SW Island Guard : [Shout] they speak of defial against us
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *instinctively reaches for Saraphin's hand*
Saraphin: I mean I do a little, but only a little
T.A. Grimbergen: Shall we commandeer the ship?
Maglor the Singer: Listen to them shout!
Saraphin: *takes Kyilaliana's hand* Oh... *looks at Maglor so sadly* Iltyirmeweana E oailm E nyilllean iracty ires. *praying*

Saraphin: E we lean nleam iream ane iracty ires, E oilec aey
Philip Cruz'ado: Hmm. I wonder where the Captain's next stop is? Mayhap he will allow a couple more passengers. Lytha may be helped there.
Maglor the Singer: If they come, let them come for me alone!
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *voice rising* N...No, Maglor!
Philip Cruz'ado: *shakes his head*
T.A. Grimbergen: No Maglor...we all share you responsibility and your fate.
Maglor the Singer: I have failed you all, over time
Saraphin: E ameycw, anirilan aey nyeycw veela sa anira saillla ane irailc ires, ane irailc aniras ilcc
Maglor the Singer: And this is but the latest in a series of missteps
Philip Cruz'ado: That matters not, Grimbergen. We have been seen together. Hence we are all seen the same.
T.A. Grimbergen: We have all had out failures...yours is none the worse then any of ours
Saraphin: Please sir. He is rash. You saw that
JP SW Island Guard: I shall listen to thee las....
Saraphin: he still smarts from your blows
JP SW Island Guard: What say thee
Saraphin: His child. His child is dying. and his wife was recently killed
Kyilaliana Jadystana: Pl...Please Maglor, you m...must apologize. Pl...Please. *looks up at him pleadingly*
T.A. Grimbergen: [Whisper] use the insanity plea...it is true of maglor
Saraphin: He does not think well before he speaks. He is so lost. He... he... please...
JP SW Island Guard: I care not of this
Saraphin: Please do not kill us

Saraphin: all of us that stand before you are free
JP SW Island Guard: Speak one
Saraphin: [Whisper] I do my best TA. though I fear I cannot help him enough...
Philip Cruz'ado: We seek passage to Esirup. If you know the way to our ship, escort us there and be done with us.
T.A. Grimbergen: [Whisper] No worries...your best was enogh.
JP SW Island Guard: Sbow me thy shoulder and I shall
Saraphin: [Whisper] I wishe I knew what to do for him. *eyes tearing* Sweet Fea and Vemc deserve a father
T.A. Grimbergen: [Whisper] None of us ever do...yet we always seem to find a way out of sticky situations
Philip Cruz'ado: *shrugs* I bear no brands.
Saraphin: [Whisper] I wish I had your experience right now
T.A. Grimbergen: [Whisper] Maglor is resilient...though in ways different than ours
Maglor the Singer: This is barely tolerable
Saraphin: [Whisper] or at least the ability to return him the dead
Philip Cruz'ado: Scars of the blades of Slavers, yes. *spits*
JP SW Island Guard: Keep thy tounge, and just show me thy shoulder
Philip Cruz'ado: We neither care for each other, Guardsman. Best we keep our visit short.
Maglor the Singer: *smiles. *smiles, more widely
Kyilaliana Jadystana: *peers out cautiously from behind TA's shield*
Philip Cruz'ado: *sighs* Where is this mark you seek?
JP SW Island Guard: left shoulder
