"WWWWOOOOOOWWWW!!!" gasped Neven in complete disbelief, "That was awesome Master Tommy! Who were those animals? Totems? Friends of yours among the gods?"
The Gamer shrugged. “Gods, near enough. Divine beings, anyway. Sort of a holdover from the more shamanic aspects of my training.”
"Mistress Kana are you okay?" cried Serna racing to the side of The Wolfen as she took Kana's hand, "How do you feel, Mistress Kana? Are you alright?"
"I am fine, dear one," the Wolfen answered a bit distractedly.
The Ranger turned towards The Gamer, "If you don't mind my asking, Tommy, can you please tell me what 'Irthir ui dastudr. Shivi coi othokent.' means? The one you call Ryuu spoke it to me before he departed. It seemed to be a warning to my ears, am I mistaken?"
”Umm...” Tommy thought for a moment. “Hunh. That's interesting. Something to the effect of 'Knowledge is Power. Guard it well.' Mean anything to you?” Something in the Gamer's tone suggested that it did mean something to him.
"More importantly than that," Irzen walked over to the Gamer, "How are you doing, pal? That could not have been easy. I don't know how much time we have left before Venger arrives but--"
Suddenly the Adventurers heard the muffled sound of a blast coming from outside of the mountain. A few rocks and some dust trickled down upon the heroes as the mountain shook beneath their feet.
"--Three guesses who that is and the first two don't count!" concluded Irzen with a frown.
"Hmph!" The assassin drew both daggers in response, "And who is being DRAMACTIC now?!"
"Nah! Venger's never TOO DRAMATIC!" Answered a sarcastic elementalist bracing herself from the vibrations.
Tommy looked up thoughtfully. “Pee-Wee Herman? Or maybe the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz.” He shrugged. “But yeah, it's probably...”
+++++
Outside of the Topaz Mountains Venger, flanked by his Orc battalion standing in perfect battle formation, stretched forth his hand and fired another energy blast at the entrance to Aurilaz's lair.
"SWORDSMAN! GAMER! ELEMENTALIST! COME FORTH!" roared the Dark Lord of the Realm, "BRING UNTO ME MY PRIZE! RENDER UNTO ME THE ELEVENTH TALISMAN AND KNEEL BEFORE YOUR MASTER!"
++++++++
”...him,” the Gamer continued. “Heh. When I say 'who's the master?' You say?”
Taking the talisman off her neck, the Wolfen handed it to Serna, saying, "Give this to Irzen. You and Neven shall remain behind with me as they give it to V. Let them know to have Quake with them. I will need to have her inform me of all that is going on with their confrontation through the bond. When the time is right, I shall collect enough magic to turn a good amount of the mountain green and have Aurilaz race out of here, as if free from the talisman. It needs to be known that what is forced to be given, is not then truly given freely."
The Wolfen stared into nothingness and said quietly, "I am being shown..." she then takes a surprised gasp, "a new Bearer!"
Tommy rolled his head from side to side. “That's nice. Unless it's something we really need to know before we go have our little chat outside, I think we might be better off not knowing.” He grinned. “Makes it easier to avoid lying.”
((OOC Tommy: Two hurdles down. We turned in our research paper today, and I'm approved for my new apartment as soon as they get the "yes, he's a good tenant" letter from my landlord. (They've already confirmed over the phone, but we're having some trouble getting the form faxed over.) Now I just need to deal with, on the one hand, getting our presentation ready for next Monday, and on the other hand moving the following Saturday. There's a final exam in there too, but I'm not even slightly worried about that.))
