Malchik Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 "My function is to help El Rhun in a war. I have no interest in the perpetual internal squabblings of its wizardmasters. If a member of El Rhun comes to me for advice I will give it. If the treachery of such a man leads to a war then a member of El Rhun may call on me to help." The apparition pauses. "I will not deal with anyone but an inhabitant of El Rhun except in one situation. If you can bring me evidence that the city's inhabitants are no longer free to reach me, then I will listen to you. Now, begone!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimVig Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 "Very well. I will go now." Zekic leaves the room and goes back to Telador. He describes his encounter to him and asks what he knows of the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 Telador is surprised. "These walls were just walls as far as I knew. Tagfier has not been threatened since the Wars of Greed many millennia ago. I doubt if anyone knows about this 'defence' but you. It may be helpful to us. Now we must be cautious. Don't use any magic. We are going to the tower of Time." The walk seems interminable. Much of the time it is like walking in the bottom of a valley the huge buildings towering like mountain peaks. A few of the very tallest buildings are glowing. Telador points them out. "Each school's tower has it's own colour. All those who belong to a school wear a sash of the same colour as identification." You note the information blue is Water, green Earth, red Fire and white Air. The school of Death is black, Light is gold. The school of the Mind has chosen silver, the Healers grey and Time, where you are heading, dark maroon red. You see no one on your walk. The tower door is open. Inside a boy of fifteen stands nervously glancing about worriedly. He wears a silver sash. As the two of you enter his eyes widen. "You're not Telador! What are you doing here?" He sounds very afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimVig Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 "Not Telador? What do you mean, boy?" Zekic looks at both of them, not sure what ot make of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted March 8, 2004 Author Share Posted March 8, 2004 Telador sighs. "I have cut my hair apprentice, that is all. The Windrunner helped me he can confirm it." The boy looks at you both. "Wait a moment." He returns a moment later accompanied by another apprentice. He wears a grey sash. He looks at Telador. "Let me see your hands!" The former Wizardmaster does so patiently though his fingers twitch showing inner irritation. "He's Telador. You'd better bring them up." Moments later you are in a room with seven others, a motley collection of apprentices and one girl. The apprentice of the Mind, who first met you mutters uneasily. "As far as we know this is the full extend of free El Rhun. All the others have their minds controlled." He introduces them. "I am Traxis. The healer is Raggle. Windham there is from Time and Benmerrion Earth. He likes to be called Ben. The Death apprentice is called Malchik and the Light guy is Jeri. Well, that's one of his names." By the sound of it Traxis does not entirely trust Jeri. "So have you come to help us?" The Light apprentice does not miss the tone in Traxis' voice. OOC> Theta Orionis will join in as Jeri.

ThetaOrionis01 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Jeri pulls a face at Traxis. "Traxis just doesn't like me," he says, slowly. "I don't know why - after all it's him who's the mind apprentice, not me. It's not like I could control anyone." He smiles at Telador. "I'm so glad at least one wizardmaster escaped the mind control. Do you have a plan, wizardmaster?" His glance shifts to Zekic, studies him. "I've never seen you in El Rhun before." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimVig Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 "I've never been in El Rhun before." Zekic tells Jeri. "I am here to visit the Archives of Time, but this city seems to have its share of problems. They might interfere in my own quest, and in that case I'll try to help. There are others questing with me and I hope they will eventually find their way here. As for now, let us hear Telador." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted March 8, 2004 Author Share Posted March 8, 2004 Telador grunts. "I will have to accompany Zekic into the archives of time. With the exception of the school of time you need to be at senior mage level to enter. And with Time the apprentices are restricted. But there are several questions to be answered first. We must find a way to disguise Zekic in case there is a patrol and we must find a way in. They are hardly likely to let us walk in the main doors." Telador glances at the apprentices. "Do we know who it is who has taken over the place?" No one has any clue. While Telador ponders the next move, Zekic hears his dead mother's voice in his head. "Oh, Zekic, this contact is hard to maintain. I must be quick. The gate you seek is in the city. The gate is in the city." The contact goes.

ThetaOrionis01 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Jeri looks from Zekic to the other apprentices, and back to Zekic. "Wizardmaster," he addresses Telador, "I have an idea. Maybe Zekic could borrow Windham's robes and sash and pass himself off as an apprentice of time? And maybe Traxis could put a mind shield on him - I'm sure Traxis wouldn't find that too difficult, would you, Traxis? And maybe I could try to put an illusion spell on Zekic - if you tell me what to do I'll do whatever I can to help." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
