The Mirror Void - 10/14/09 04:01 PM
appears with a medi-kit.
"I got your message, Candle, even from where I was at. The teleporter probably worked BECAUSE of where I've just come from, otherwise, I might have had trouble with the magic fields here."
Candle backs away and lets the very capable Drura work her medical techno-magic on Luna.
Quickly, Luna stirs, coughing gently.
As the girl sits up, Infectious Lass throws a bag to Candle, blows her a kiss and disappears in the shimmer and whine of another teleporter beam.
Candle turns to Luna with a smile.
By The Stoopid Cat:
<Steps out of the tesseracts into a corridor near Candle and MysticLuna. Runs forward on silent cat feet, carefully staying behind the cherubs and whatever-corn until he is close enough to strike. A short leap and three paw swipes render the cherubs and 'corn unconscious.>
**Meow**
Not much time Ladies... The three stooges will only be out for a few minutes...
<A door to the tesseracts opens...>
Time to leave...
**Meow**
By MysticLuna:
(Luna gives off a small grin to Candle, she stands and dusts herself off. She looks towards Stoopid Cat, she sees the tesseracts doorway)
I hope this place does not adjust to power of the tesseracts, if so, it would be best that we use this chance we have and leave.
(Luna enters the tesseract, but before her head exits the castle, she looks to Kent and sends him a message directly to his mind)
I do not know if your investigation is complete, but I advise you to follow.
Kent finishes off the Minotaur, for the moment at least, "I'm right behind ya! Let's go."
Candle looks at the three little guys on the floor (ignoring Barley and the minotaur purposefully).
Then, she takes Kents' arm and pushes he and Luna through the door standing open before them.
Stoopid Cat says, "Meow!" and jumps through the doorway after them.
Candle turns away from the door as it slams shut and disappears.
"I'm not ready to leave just yet, and I'm certainly not going anywhere without the babies."
Bending down, she gathers the three unconsious doll sized creatures into her arms, grabs the bag Drura left and slips into the light.
Shifting from light to shadow, Candle finishes her search for safety with an alcove hidden by 2 sets of stairs and a fireplace, devoid of sleeping or warning spells.
"This must be a 'missed' or 'hidden' room, at least, I hope so," she whispers to herself.
She lays the 3 little ones down on a windowseat with lots of deep and colorful cushions, the seating placed under an arched 'break' in the cloud wall.
The kids roll over and give contented sighs before going from unconciousness into sleep.
Candle checks them gently of any bumps or bruises, but finds none.
"Trust a cat to judge the power of his paws purrfectly," she sighs gratefully.
Sitting on a pillow against a wall that one of the stairs goes up, she surveys the area. Lightning weaves a barrier across the 'window' and softly illuminates the tiny area.
On the opposite side of the alcove, under the other stairs, is a small watercloset (bathroom) which Candle makes use of, finishing with a splash of cold water on her face from a pitcher and basin resting on a cupboard in the room.
Slipping back to the windowseat area, she pulls a blanket from a draw in the seat's base and covers the sleeping children.
"They should be okay here, for awhile."
Then, she sends an empathic message to MysticLuna & a number of other friends.
+empathic message to MysticLuna in her void+
<span style="font-size: 16px;"> {Strong feelings of acceptance and gladness (mixed with awe at Avalon) are followed by a sense of freedom. Identification whispers across MysticLuna's mind, as Candlelight embraces her thoughts.
What follows is an urgency and need for openings.
A reassurance and thoughts of trust wash over Luna as Shadowplay in Candlelight sends feelings of friendship and 'later' as her presense fades.} </span>
And saying a couple of prayers before hand, with another sigh, she melts into the shadows to continue exploring the castle.
Candle hurries, weaving in and out of lights and shadows, racing up a hall to a room she remembers glancing the night before.
(MysticLuna is about to go out of body with Pagan Lass. I think I need to make this quick!)
Looking up, she sees a sign about a brilliantly lit arc <span style="font-size: 18px;"> *DRAGONS BE HERE* </span>
Running through the arch, Candle whirls, while reaching into the bag Drura left her. She pulls out two many layered windchimes of glass and a couple of large hooks.
She climbs some vines growing on either side of the arch, attaches the hooks, sets the chimes and releases them from their bindings.
The breezes that blow throught the castle set the chimes to moving and beautiful notes float through the air.
(That should calm the spells here and disrupt any farseeing, at least for a little while.)
A number of very large presenses loom behind her.
As Candle turns, the armour that she always wears but which is seldom seen, begins to simmer and she draws her sword.
+urgent empathic message sent+
+urgent empathic message to MysticLuna and Pagan Lass+
<span style="font-size: 16px;"> In Luna's void ~ {Great feelings of need and patience flair along MysticLuna's and Pagen Lass' nerves. The urgency to help incoming beings fleeing from the Cloud Castle over-whelm the two women.}</span>
MysticLuna and Pagan Lass look up, into the empty sky.
Candlelight refocuses on the giant forms in front of her and kneels down behind her Shield of Truth just as flames flow in, hitting the shield and are deflected to dance all around her.
She shouts, "WOULD YOU BE FREE, OH GREAT ONES, FREE OF THIS CASTLE AND FREE OF ZARDI????!!"
There's a COUGH, as from something huge swallowed too quickly, and she peeks over the top of the shield.
Seven very different pairs of eyes glitter at her from seven very different faces that all have one thing in common.
They belong to dragons.
"HOW?" they murmer as one.
Candle smiles.
"The Sword of the Spirit can free your minds of Kardi's 'family' spells and a number of ladies I know, will guide you to a place of refuge.
But, you must decide NOW!"
Seven jeweled heads turn to look at each other, then back at Candle.
"YESSSSSS!"
"Please, trust me."
"I must thrust the Sword through your minds, then you must jump through the doorway that will be opened for you."
There's a brief pause as the chimes tinkle in the air.
"PROCEED."
Candle jumps on the nearest dragon's foreleg and climbs up to her great head of crystal and amethyst, as
Raising her sword, she plunges it into the dragons brain, where the spine joins the skull at the back of the head.
Amethyst <span style="font-size: 18px;">screams and laughs </span>at the same time and leaps to fly through the opening as Candle jumps to the next dragon in line.
Almost before the tale can be written, the last of the ancient beings is freed and flies through the doorway.
Then, with a bow & smile Mysa Nal3 and the gate disappear <span style="font-size: 80px;">*</span>.
Candle sighs, and crouches against the side of the arch, as she waits for the next denizens of the dragon lair to decide to approach her.
