Helo, everyone.
Happy year of 2011, you all!
This time I haven't take track of the time. Session's somewhat between a combat scene, back in the last post, and somewhere into astral plane travelling. I thank my friends Giuppa and Renatinha, for their welcome into their house, and here we go.
(Previously)
Torian freezed the nest, with all his power.
They all looked each other, and it was Torian the elementalist who went running now to Rude, to look for Spike that fell into that hole.
- Spiike! (he screamed).
- Are you aliive? (shouted Rude).
They gathered beside that hole, still sweting, and Hadesh put Tack to the ground to get back to takkar form, so they listened to Spike's voice.
- I've found it!
(End of Session)
- Báech, can you take us down there?
- Of course, Torian. Your wish is a command, and we're already here. Wait! I coudn't take Ayasta and Flausin, don't know why.
- They're "others", now, Báech. I wouldn't try again if I were you. (said Tack).
They see Spike, finishing to fix his right leg.
And so, Tack went to the border to see what Rude was looking. They're up a rock, into an imense cave, where a labyrinth come and goes, until horizon. Everyone got prepared to enter a place with danger, while waiting for Ayasta and Flausin, who were coming the long way flying, or better, sweetly levitating and talking.
It looks like the godess and the mad doesn't bother with "normal" danger.
Hadesh try to fly, and the labyrinth takes him back to the ground, so they'd be binded to walk. There's a smell of fungus everywhere, but no fungus anywhere.
There's an imense dark "ball" on the horizon, they can see.
So, they entered the labyrinth.
Knowing no where to go, the only way was walking any direction. After sometime, they noticed they're being followed by a bronze faery.
As soon as she noticed they know she's there, she desapeared without a trace, going back the way.
Then, they concluded, it's obvious she's a natural inhabitant on this place.
- It's a Totem. (said Hadesh).
- Are you sure? (questioned the professor).
- Don't attack a Totem, you all. She can use the place to attack us back, and we don't know she's with company. (resumed the takkar).
An hour later, they saw dead branches and roots of what was a tree.
Maybe they're on the right way. Tack tried to detect magic, and he tells their friend he sensed an imense "Head" down the ground, a large measure down there, moving and sensing the group. Torian said he doesn't sense danger from there.
- You know what? (decided Torian).
He started to destroy the walls with elementalism. He passed about five walls, and the others started to follow his steps, passing and going that way too.
Suddenly, he stoped and shouted "Come here! Quick!", and everyone hurried up.
It's a fountain, but the tree's dead.
Investigating the place, while the walls destroied reconstructed back, Tack took a piece of Telluron from his backpack, and put into the fountain.
It worked, and the fountain started to show an ethereal liquid just similar to water, which went down from the upside.
Hadesh was investigating the tree, and noticed that a small leaf appeared.
The takkar said to Tack put all universal components in there, and in a minute appeared a group of bulbs, that they see hold a small bronze faery inside.
Torian put his hand at the ground, and started to sense the land. The others waited, until he investigated enough the labyrinth. So, he explains there are 26 fountains in total, and an imense area that he can't see exactly what that may be the center of this labyrinth.
Then, a beetle appeared and didn't attacked the group. He went to a bulb and ate a faery. And so, he went away, walking the labyrinth naturally.
- Hhhahssssiahhsehiiissss.......
Hadesh stoped litening, and made a movement to the others.
- It's a basilisk. Prepare for the combat (said him).
They get prepared, but it was not a basilisk. It was a small light, and Hadesh went to it to see it closely.
It spoke and said it was a basilisk, but he knows it's not.
Torian used void on the light and it negated, or other way it used some power, because it immediately went upwards so quick it destroied the cave roof.
- Hadesh! (shouted Lena).
He jumped, and rocks almost killed him, falling to the ground. The noise was imense. Everything into this place knows now they're here, and so they listen to a howl.
- Liykantroppi. (concluded Rude).
They went to the next fountain, and decided to activate them all.
While Tack was doing it, Torian and Hadesh found a mummi's hand, and a dagger. It looked as a dagger that could cut everything, said the mage, and the takkar got happy listening to it. So he put the dagger on a side, and the hand on the Bag.
There was also a chalk, special for magic, half used.
On the third fountain, they listen to a noise and a brown ball appeared.
- A demon (said Ayasta). Step back, you all. Stop, demon. I order you.
- Who's destroing our labyrinth? (they listen it asking). You'll pay for that,... with life.
- You're not strong enough for us (said the godess), so the weaker of our group will fight you, not to death, and if the weakest of us defeats you, you'll give us everything we want.
- Who's the first? Step forward (hissed the demon, a brown ball with no arms).
- Hadesh, it's you. (said Ayasta).
- I am the weakest of us?! Are you serious? (he shouted in disagreement).
- Yes, you're the weakest, and win. I en't interfere.
So, the takkar assumed his beast form, and steped in front of the group, 'cause the demon started to attack, and jumped to grab the "thing".
It started to move fast, faster and faster, going away through the labyrinth.
He uses all his will to negate and come back, so they started a fight for will, and it deliberatedly went back. The demon started to heat the beast, burning, while he started to freeze it back.
The demon destroied a couple of walls while coming back, now with a clear aura of criokinese around it, 'cause the beast Hadesh was freezing it. So, they hitted a wall and they fell to the ground, the beast Hadesh in control of the demon's movements, it almost completely freezed, almost dead this way.
- Yeah! (shouted the djine).
The demon was useless, and Hadesh steped back off it.
Ayasta explained they're more that the demon can deal with, and convinced it to help. But well, he explained this is their home, and the group's destroing it. More will come, he said. There's a pack of liykantroppi, too. And the bronze faeries are their food. There are also a group of beetles. And a major demon at the center of the labyrinth, which not even the demons get too close to it, 'cause he became an abyssal a hundred years ago.
- That's it. It's inside the demon. (concluded Torian).
- I see, (said the rogue princess), that's why it can't move off the labyrinth. It ate the "thing", and now he's traped into that place forever, that's what you're saying, Torian?
- Yes.
- Right oah, it's possible.
Now, could they defeat the giant demon?
- I saw light eyes at the labyrinth, but no one noticed.
- What you think they were, Tack?
- Dunno, Christalla, but I guess it was a liykantroppi. That's my guess.
- Who's this mage of bronze the demon said?
That demon said the liykantroppi are wainting, for someone called "the mage of bronze", and that's no good. The djine looked up to Tack, but the princess to Torian. Who's this one? And why they're waiting for him? Are somehow they being expected in there this long?
Decided, they advanced through the labyrinth with walls of bronze.
They activated the last fountain. So, as Hadesh said the mage of bronze was in there, our fellows start listening to a series of howls and growls.
- They're coming to attack (resumed the takkar beast). I'll protect you, Tack! (and moved closer to him).
It started all of a sudden. A large number of monsters, with forms made of their nightmares, came from the void to attack every life there in.
Hadesh assumed his beast form, and engaged close combat with an attacker.
Torian immediately conjured his shuriken with lightning.
So, they see they're outnumbered, what's no good, and the takkar beast try to protect Tack, once and a second time, then he's thrown to an open area, and attacked from up. Torian lock the attacker, and the beast almost kill the attacker, who's strong as much as the takkar beast.
A monster appeared at Tack's back to attack, so he try to escape.
The attacker's hit was on the mage's hand, and the Ring he uses fall to the ground. It growled, and Hadesh shouted "He said "It's on the ground". Take it back!".
And so, while the princess was paralyzed, the djine did the same and paralyzed them all. It worked, except for one, who's at Tack's back. He mummured somthing and carved a kind of bonesword on the ground, so Tack fell to his knees with a terrible feeling, immediately sensing death.
It didn't killed the mage, but he sensed an immediate feeling of curse, and he knows it's powerful.
The rogue princess get off the paralyze and jump.
It worked, and she get the ring and run, just in time to avoid the monster attack.
She pushed Tack off the area of threat and the fog appeared. A fog came out of nowhere, and the monsters, now they know the group's too strong, retreated.
Ayasta had created a dome of force at the area, but it was negated.
They howled and jumped, running away. Did they noticed there's a godess with 'em? So, silence came.
And then, Ayasta spoke.
- Tack, you're cursed.
- I know (said him). I can't take if off. I'm trying...
- This was what they wanted. It looks like they're looking for the mage of bronze not to follow him. They thought you were the mage of bronze.
- He's not (said firmly, the rogue princess). - And she looked around.
- They won't attack again, don't worry.
- Well, Ayasta. I'm just trying to see where they're gone to.
- Tack?
- I'm cursed, Ayasta. All I can see is that this curse will take effect in one year.
- Put the ring back, Tack. Give it to him, Christal.
- Right, Torian.
And the princess gave the ring to the mage, now cursed.
They decided to walk, no talk.
Tack made a wish, from all his heart, and the djine listened. He desired to know what hte creatures on the labyrinth are talking. He knows now it's Pan's language.
Now, Torian had an idea. He put his hands on the ground and start to cast all his power. He's creating alchohol, to fulfill the entire labyrinth. A couple of minutes later, it was full of his element. He concentrated and put fire on it. Quickly, every corner of that place was on fire.
They decided to wait.
An hour later, they decided everything on there was dead, or seriously damaged, and got out of that last fountain to go the center and fight the creature.
Soon, they came to the center of the labyrinth, and saw the giant abyssal who's there, 'em planning how they'd attack it with all their might. An attack plan made, they got prepared. All magic they could have thought of was used to buff themselves, preparing every detail.
And they attacked.
It looked their ultimate attacks didn't harm the abyssal, not even made a scratch on it.
But well, it closed in itself, and created an area of deadmagic around himself. So, all their magic's useless, and they retreat to think of a better plan.
They retreated to the last fountain, again.
A faery of bronze, shy, came to that corner to talk to them. She explained the legend. That the mage of bronze would came, and save her people. That's a myth, but now they know it's true. The monster liykantroppi are there to wait and prevent the mage of bronze to do that, because the Bronze Labyrinth is too dangerous to be revived, say them, but all the faeries want is to live.
She says there's something down there. A jail. A prison. A vault. And the mage of bronze's the One, who would put the seal on it again.
- I'm the mage of bronze.
Everyone looked to Torian Priatel'sa Draci, and remembered he's also "Naraleiva", the bronze dragon's protected one, who's his patron.
The bronze faery says what's down there.
That's an Antigod. And the seal must be remade, or it will use the faery plant's roots to get out. There's a symbol, and somewhat a place to put something in there, to close it again for a millennia more.
- Hadesh, give me the dumpper (said Torian, firmly). I'll close it. I know what I have to do.
- You don't know if you're the mage of bronze, Torian.
- I know, Tack. My family's patron's the bronze dragon, and that's all. Now, we need to make it quickly, 'cause the faery said this will set free in maybe one hour. Let's go.
- We can lock the abyssal to the prison, too, and resume two problems. What do you think?
- That's a very good idea, princess.
- Thanks, Ayasta.
So, they came to a secret place in there, guided by the bronze faery.
It was somewhat on the left corner, in a passage they'd never find, but that doesn't matter, anymore. They open the gate, with the faery's help, and Torian went down the stairs. There, he find the place, and put the dumpper, while Ayasta was calling the attention from the abyssal up there, who immediately run out of control, and attacked, getting out of that prison and taking loads of damage.
Now, they waited for the abyssal, and Torian energyzed the dumpper with all energy he could without fainting, as a start, so it would use the abyssal energy for the rest of the millennia to come.
It got locked into the trap, and they teleported with the faery's help.
The faery, looking for an abyssal locked in a paradigma there, in a timeless prison (they don't know how it happened, but the princess looked to Ayasta, thankful), and graces the group for saving her race, for the mage of bronze to have really came to save the bronze faeries, and the group prepared to go away.
- It's with you, right?
- Yeah, Torian. I've got the Portal with a wish.
They came to the surface, again, and the djine had the Portal, for their relief.
A small christaline sphere, with something like Fog inside.
(End of Session)
Some considerations necessary
The profecies says who gather the major number of portals, wins. How can they be sure who's getting the other portals, now they're got one?
So, at least one on our group's profetyzed, so long ago?
Hope you're enjoying your stay at the Blog. New posts will come, as I write 'em. I promise I'll try to post 'em more frequently now. Hold your heartbeat, and get prepared for more as soon as possible.
And thanks for reading.

The Astral (Two)
Alloi, everyone.
This is a second day adventure at the Astral plane, that runned from 20:12 May 01, 2010, but it was a short day of play, of only four hours. We passed most of the time discussing the setting, and what the players want, 'cause a player without a goal is a master's nightmare, so don't miss the sequence of the adventure. Remember the posts are reverse, and it all starts at the older posts. Thanks to Sheep, who's always trying to mediate things within the group, but that extends to Lord. My friend Demo also take notes of everything, and that helps me to keep my notes updated.
(Previously)
At the moment they got to the room of passage, a giant Amorphious with many eyes, a type of Abyssal, appeared at the windows and casted paralyze at the first in line.
It was Flausin.
They had gathered at the passage, and they were at the other side.
They did it, and teleported, just in time.
Flausin fell to the ground, but Torian levitated him.
It took four hours to the alchemist Daytel to make a potion to cure that. These paralyzes can't be cured by normal Negation, explained the bakemono hunter.
At the same time, the group was investigating the area.
Big ratlings, extense areas of savage magic, beetle the size of a table, strange clouds in the sky, christal trees, small fungi life, but black, a smell of rot, and a purple water obviously not pure. This is the place the coordinates takes to, they see on the maps.
The trigemei worlds, as well as the rest of the Universe, are all connected by the Astral plane, which is in a way a higher plane compared to others.
It's full of creatures, but they doesn't change much as it happens at the Dream.
Professor Primus decided to make his weekly ritual of Arcana, but there he sees traces of divine energy risking the sky in all directions. It means gods can't hide their influences at the Astral. It may be good. Tack Primus, even he himself being a religion master for the Academy of Magic, doesn't like the divine, because they create a sense that everything's under control, while it's not.
He invokes his staff, and start to walk side by side with Hadesh.
Soon, they see the natural inhabitant of this area are giant beetles, and one came to see who they are. It came running, and stoped only measures away.
"Ggghhhrrroooaahh!", shouted the giant beetle.
- Don't move, Tack (said Hadesh). Use languages on it.
They tried to talk, but all they could understand it saying was "No-no", and they saw it was not much more than an animal from that place.
It soon gave space to the group walk, seeing they're not here to attack 'em.
All the group passed the day investigating the area. They found holes on the ground, as they were created a long time ago and probably by ant giants.
If the beetles doesn't helped, at least they didn't disturbed the wanderers, but that was clear no one come to this place usually.
So, Tack tried to conjure a faery fire to help and it broke in a large "Bang!".
A medium size Nightmare appeared.
It happened this one in special had the ability to assume people's fears, like a licanthropi, and it immediately assum the form of a dark spectre.
This way, Flausin shrinks at a corner, but the creature did nothing.
Hadesh advance, while Lena run to help the goblin.
So, it assumes the form of a meltling, and they don't know if it aquires the ability from the monster. If the answer is yes, it would melt all their weapons and armours in seconds.
Tack, whose weapons are not made of metal, advance and attack it.
"UuWwwoo-uuoo-aa... aohuwwwhhhhh", it whispers fear, but it seems only the djine is affected. He hides on the back of a big stone.
- Attack when a head appears! (shouted Bake).
And it assumed the form of Tack's wife, but in the form of a zombie.
He stoped, understanding his fear for the first time, and Lena the rogue princess come to his assitance, at this moment and so stoped almost in fear.
The nightmare assumed the form of the Mummi King, with a dark crown, and Lena understood he was happy 'cause he won the war.
Tack got out of the trance and attacked with his whip in a movement Hadesh had tought him.
He got the creature's head off with a strong pull back.
- It's dead. (said the princess, most to herself than to the group).
- Savage Magic land (said Rude). We need to take care, while doing magic in here. Good move, Tack. What you think, Bake?
- This is not the only savage magic area.
- Probably. Professor?
- Let's get somewhere, first. I can't see where the portal could be in here.
- We need to find it (resumed Lena).
They got to rest a few moments, before keep looking for hints, and now they know.
Magic can make it the wrong way here.
Two hours later, while investigating the area of rocks on the other side of that valley, Lena had an intense feeling that they're being observed. She talks to Tack the specialist in negation, attentive to keep her voice low, but he could not identify any focus of magic observation.
She swear to him she's right, but that's no help try and see to negate in the void of whatever'd be watching, if there's anything.
Well, the rogue princess always had a second sense for that, and two minutes later Daytel called the attention of everyone to say in serious low tone, he had "Sense of danger" something, but then from the sand on the ground a gigantic scorpion steped on the way and attacked Hadesh.
He's the best combatant, though.
Tack tried a paralyze, but that cracked out away doing no damage. Fortunately, it didn't hit anyone. And so, the elementalist Torian started to concentrate earth smash, planning to change place from body to stone, while Hadesh assumed his beast form.
There emerged a total of five enormous scorpions, and the takkar defended Tack from the forceps attack from the one who emerged from the right rocks.
Lena the rogue princess lifted her and the djine Báech upwards.
Daytel attacked the one on the frontside, and smashed it's left arm with a rock. Hadesh, back there, was handling two at once.
- This must be their nest. We came the wrong way. (shouted Rude). Princess, you cry the strategy from there up to us in here.
And Lena started to shout positions, while the djine asked her to throw him up the number three, turned back to attack the sting.
Did that, she cried to Spike their positions, and he advanced with an icebaal prepared, to confront the third and fourth forcing 'em to the rocks.
- Daytel, (he shouted), force that one on the wall and I will.....
He sank into the sand.
- Spike! (screamed Rude).
Spike's icebaal escaped and freezed everything with snowish christals, at the time Tack could force his magic knife he doesn't know yet what is it's power into one of the monsters.
- Perfect! They won't be on their best now. (shouted the alchemist).
- I petrified this one! But I can't take the knife off! (cried Tack, while Hadesh pushed the second one with a double attack of claws, and a defense move back).
Tack slipped away to a corner that's cracked.
- I've found the nest! (he shouted, and Hadesh advanced making a friend grab move, so now Tack's on his back to be the essencial target for the monsters).
Báech cutted the scorpion's sting off, while Rude was fighting the hard two forceps.
They all turned to attack Hadesh and Tack on his back. "It worked, Christalla! Organize our flank attack, now, and they're gone!", shouted Rude. He advanced through the back way to where Spike desapeared on the sand, and screamed "Spiiike!".
- I'm ok! Stay alive! (Spike shouted from a deep hole).
The elemetalist smashed a second one, with a rocky centered storm of bolts, and Tack took his whip from the hip to get the fifth one's left pincer. So, he pulled it with all his will, for he's not strong. Only enough to make it open space for Hadesh to attack it and cut it's other forcep pincer off.
- Only two now! (shouted the djine, with his scimitar inside the third one which was squeezing in pain).
And so, Hadesh gave triple attack on the one without a left pincer Daytel had first attacked. Two claws opened the head and the tail smashed it with a clockwise spin.
- Wohww! (shouted Tack, holding on).
The goblin, looking everything from up together with the rogue princess, used telekinese to hold the last one, and they all attacked it at the same time.
Rude thrown his sword to Daytel, who together with the djine and Bake they stuck the monster from down until a dark liquid fell, fetid.
They did it.
Torian freezed the nest, with all his power.
They all looked each other, and it was Torian the elementalist who went running now to Rude, to look for Spike that fell into that hole.
- Spiike! (he screamed).
- Are you aliive? (shouted Rude).
They gathered beside that hole, still sweting, and Hadesh put Tack to the ground to get back to takkar form, so they listened to Spike's voice.
- I've found it!
(End of Session)
Some are the choice who form a Destiny to self, some to the many. A portal's opened? Who's the ones whose nature's being taken? A fish can't see the sea he lives in, the same way one only vision of a world cannot show everything.
Hold on, and the imersion world will get itself revealed a step at a time.
Thanks for reading.

He got the creature's head off with a strong pull back.
- It's dead. (said the princess, most to herself than to the group).
- Savage Magic land (said Rude). We need to take care, while doing magic in here. Good move, Tack. What you think, Bake?
- This is not the only savage magic area.
- Probably. Professor?
- Let's get somewhere, first. I can't see where the portal could be in here.
- We need to find it (resumed Lena).
They got to rest a few moments, before keep looking for hints, and now they know.
Magic can make it the wrong way here.

Did that, she cried to Spike their positions, and he advanced with an icebaal prepared, to confront the third and fourth forcing 'em to the rocks.

He sank into the sand.

Spike's icebaal escaped and freezed everything with snowish christals, at the time Tack could force his magic knife he doesn't know yet what is it's power into one of the monsters.
- Perfect! They won't be on their best now. (shouted the alchemist).
- I petrified this one! But I can't take the knife off! (cried Tack, while Hadesh pushed the second one with a double attack of claws, and a defense move back).
Tack slipped away to a corner that's cracked.
- I've found the nest! (he shouted, and Hadesh advanced making a friend grab move, so now Tack's on his back to be the essencial target for the monsters).
Báech cutted the scorpion's sting off, while Rude was fighting the hard two forceps.
They all turned to attack Hadesh and Tack on his back. "It worked, Christalla! Organize our flank attack, now, and they're gone!", shouted Rude. He advanced through the back way to where Spike desapeared on the sand, and screamed "Spiiike!".
- I'm ok! Stay alive! (Spike shouted from a deep hole).
The elemetalist smashed a second one, with a rocky centered storm of bolts, and Tack took his whip from the hip to get the fifth one's left pincer. So, he pulled it with all his will, for he's not strong. Only enough to make it open space for Hadesh to attack it and cut it's other forcep pincer off.
- Only two now! (shouted the djine, with his scimitar inside the third one which was squeezing in pain).
And so, Hadesh gave triple attack on the one without a left pincer Daytel had first attacked. Two claws opened the head and the tail smashed it with a clockwise spin.
- Wohww! (shouted Tack, holding on).
The goblin, looking everything from up together with the rogue princess, used telekinese to hold the last one, and they all attacked it at the same time.
Rude thrown his sword to Daytel, who together with the djine and Bake they stuck the monster from down until a dark liquid fell, fetid.
They did it.
Torian freezed the nest, with all his power.
They all looked each other, and it was Torian the elementalist who went running now to Rude, to look for Spike that fell into that hole.
- Spiike! (he screamed).
- Are you aliive? (shouted Rude).
They gathered beside that hole, still sweting, and Hadesh put Tack to the ground to get back to takkar form, so they listened to Spike's voice.
- I've found it!
(End of Session)
Some considerations necessary
Some are the choice who form a Destiny to self, some to the many. A portal's opened? Who's the ones whose nature's being taken? A fish can't see the sea he lives in, the same way one only vision of a world cannot show everything.
Hold on, and the imersion world will get itself revealed a step at a time.

A Garota - Oriental Kastas
Oriental Kastas, continente leste
Atamya despertou, de um sonho estranho. Tudo havia sido desfeito. Ela vê sua mãe se movendo próxima à sua cabeça, sonolenta como um pássaro, e ela olhou para esta mulher como se fosse um item ou uma coisa. Isso, um dia antes do Tempo morrer.
É tarde da noite, exatamente um dia antes da ruptura do Tempo de da Magia.
-- Você acordou, dhílark?
-- Meu nome é Llanyat -- respondeu a garotinha.
A mãe não entendeu, mas inclinou sua cabeça junto da mão e dos braços, para olhar para sua filha.
-- O que você está dizendo, Atamya?
-- Esse não é o meu nome (ela resumiu).
-- Volte a dormir. Amanhã você vai ter esquecido esse sonho e tudo vai ter voltado ao normal, larkíyba. Não seja boba, dê tempo ao tempo.
Assim, sua mãe voltou a dormir.
(Fim da Intervenção)
What happens when you have all that you are forgotten? Not your memory, but will you get back your Epic Destiny from the hands of the Unknown?
Thanks for reading.

The Astral (One)
Helo, everyone.
And welcome to the Wormbar, again.
This is the second part of a two days adventure, this one runned on April 24, 2010, at our friend Sheep's Lair, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. This is where we live. It's a nice place, really. You should come to visit during your vacation. Our city has the biggest number of "bars" in Brazil. We're not adepts of "samba", as you probably know samba from Rio, or Salvador. We're House to Metal, but you'll also see Jazz festivals on summer and winter, at many places, like in my neighborhood, Savassi.
Be welcome.
Hadesh got up in a sudden, breathing fast.
- Take care, Hadesh (said the little girl). You need to rest.
He looked around. He's at Tack's house, at Ryklanta.
- Listen to Delanda, takkar. You falled from the sky, yesterday, but we cured mostly all your damage done. Tack's at Torian's, now.
- Yesterday? I need to talk to Ayasta.
- I'm listening to you, Hadesh (he listened to the godesse's voice).
The girl pressed her lips, apparently listening too.
- I need you ask Spike if he can fix my armour, please. It must be done today, or I'll lose her.
- Wait until I talk to him, and I'll talk to you.
Moments later, Spike was teleported to Tack's house. He analyzed the armour to see if it could be done, but he's a specailist in armours, being a Warknight.
- It can be done, but I'll need Telluron to fix it in a week. The other way it could take a year.
- Do it, please. I'll find a way to pay you later.
He gets needles and pinched all Hadeshe's body with 'em to take off the armour. Then, Tack sent an order to take telluron from the vault.
(At Torian's Castle)
Ayasta and Tack decided to go to Principia.
They teleported to the entrance of the city, a large city with giant elephalets, siphliesces and beetles. Houses are strongly beautiful, everywhere.
Enornous towers like made of ivory talls the most important and official buildings.
So great is the land of djines.
There's a magnificent palace in the center of the large city.
It's possible to see that the djines navigate to the east Azhar empire, somehow, 'cause turbans are common place there, too.
Sellers and buyers approach commerce, everywhere.
They even see flower wine from Tachiza among the items to cast a buyer in that streets.
So, they got to the central palace.
It happens they are being expected, and a guard with bronze skin took 'em to the Regent's presence. He was waiting for them, sitting at a throne.
They bowed, when got to the presence of the Regent. He bowed too, looking to Ayasta, impressed that she did it while she's a Godess.
But was Tack who spoke.
- Greetings. We're here to talk about important issues. I'm Tack Primus.
- Salasta, I welcome you. I hope we can arrange a talking. I'm Neten, the Regent. I know who you are, both, and I knew you'd come.
- Well, but you know why we're here?
- My people are well informed of things into the whole trigemei, yes.
- So, are the djines prepared to deal with this? I mean, now we don't know where Tweet has gone to, I saw on the city that you're a strong nation. No doubt. But we know some djines had lost their taboos, so we came to ask what's happening.
- What happens is that the taboos were created so long ago that we can't fix it, but I assume we can keep the situation under control.
- So,... (Tack made a pause) you know there's a war.
- We doesn't care far wars, mage. Godess. Our people doesn't take sides.
- That was what we came here to ask. Thanks for saying. Now, nature will need time to find it's balance, and we need to take care not to create magic fauls. I think you understand. But well, the balance of divine energy's being broken.
- We don't talk about divine, mage.
- Right. The heir to the throne,...
- She's too young to take care of her people now, and that's my work as a Regent.
- I see. Her's are the decisions which will modelate the future.
- I know. (he exhaled a sigh). I know.
The regent nodded, and Ayasta gave a step forward. She explained that the new djines eat derivatives from the universal components, Fungus, Echtoconduit and Telluron. Pure, they can also be eaten. But she's right that soon the balance needed for components will have be solved.
- I thank you far your concern. My people will remember this, and the future Raja is secure in here.
- Well, that conforts us, regent Neten. Now, we must go. Thank you. (said Tack).
They bowed, and were walking the way out when they saw a little girl. She was dressed as a real princess, a girl without limits.
She looked the other side of the hall, and took an apple from a pile from the distance. It looks as she does have djine powers, even so young.
Everyone listened to a voice, and Tack (together with Ayasta) knew it came from the woman meditating, and levitating at the side of regent Neten.
- Everything you do has consequences.
And the pile of apples all fell, as the girl had took one from the base and not from the top.
That lesson, Tack would never forget.
(At the Troll Phylosopher)
All the group, including Lena Báech (Christalla), Tack and Ayasta, Torian, Flausin, Báech the djine, Spike and Rudyn gathered at the Troll's territory.
Tack explained the visit to the djine capital, Principia.
Hadesh was all pointed with needles, and Spike explains he can't use his armous until it's 80% reformed, so they need to wait.
They all decide to go after the portals. That's what everything they gathered during all this takes to. The "what to do with the portal" is secondary.
So, Tack explains the profecy says who gather the major number of portals win the war, and after they'll need then to decide new rules for reincarnation.
Then, the Troll goes inside his cave, and no one knows what he's doing inside.
The question is, Adria.
Hadesh has 60%, more or less, of Ambar's knowledge of Time inside his mind, and he's getting mad with that, because he can't understand it. The group has asked the Troll to create a ritual, respecting the nature and the new rules of magic, so to pass this knowledge to Adria, and then time could go back to normal, a solution to one amongst many problems.
Hadesh entered the cave, fourty minutes later.
Some time after that, he and the Troll came back to the bonfire outside. The Troll was happy. He could pass 50% of Ambar's knowledge of time to Adria. This would need some time more to be studied by the godess, and so soon enough time would go back to normal, and the christal will be safe.
Christalla coments with the Troll that she thinks the name christal for the worlds is strange. He explains it comes from astronomy observation.
Then the group decides go to the first coordinate.
(Four days later)
Bakemono, a friend and member of Rude's group, came back from the Nine Realms to go with the group, now decided and preparing to enter the Astral plane. He was gathering neverfading water plants, that are used to cast "Light" at the Astral.
The portal Rudyn opened was small, to let no track.
(At the Astral)
They walked two days, and Rude explained this would be three hours on the standard plane. Báech was so hungry Hadesh gave him a jar of Fungus. It'd feast him for the travel. Hadesh still have four bottles of fungus inside his Bag. He can't explain how they grow inside, and Ayasta advised him to keep that. The godess was all the time talking with the mad goblin.
She seems to understand everything he says, madly.
Soon, a herd of namoradas passed, and they found themselves up the trees. It was a psychotropode coming, and Rude knew it was terrible.
- It's a gas. Don't breathe it, or it blows you mind off to hallucinations. (said Rude).
It came from the west, destroying everything.
Torian attacks with a windblow so strong he thought it would fade away, but the creature, a white cloud, have passed unharmed.
So, Tack experimented a new magic, something like Cure but together with Poison.
Rude slowed the psychotropode with void, as a master he is.
The creature levitates high and got down so quick it would have taken Flausin, but the mad goblin was not there at the same time.
He simply vanished without a pop.
- Everyone. Now! (shouted Torian).
It worked. With all their attacks together, they killed the cloud. But then it dissipated, and Báech, the same way Torian, forgot the gas hallucination and breathed it. Well, they started to enter a strange trance. Rude shouted to Lena to enter their minds, and bring they back, or they'd never do it.
- Vir! - called Rude, and various items got out of that cloud that was the creature.
So it exploded, sending gas venom in every direction.
It's the moment Neshet came to life, and Loriet the slave, too. During a moment, Neshet was thinking of one day have been a mage, but so he woke up. I was a dream. He slept standing. On the other world of Gobouka, a world with seven moons, Loriet almost let a vase fall, so tired he was, working so hard for his master Died the Artificer, a much infamous artist from Gobouka's east territory.
They woke in a sudden, in doubt which was true. This or that.
- Don't talk about that, you two. I know. The gas venom creates an alternated life. You'll only be safe when we get away from here. Hey, everyone! Let's walk. And no one talks, for the sake of our friends.
It was the most terrible effect Torian ever sensed in his lifetime, and he took mostly an hour to keep his mind back to his normal self.
Rude handed the items from the creature.
Two rings which protect from poison, to Rude and the bakemono hunter. A singer gladius to Ayasta. Two daggers that cut everything to Lena and Tack. A sword which drain the oponent's life to the owner to Hadesh, were obviously items owned by last travellers killed by the creature.
All material, and Rude explained they'd still exist when they get back off the Astral plane.
Then, Lena pointed a tower on a mountain to 'em.
- That's the passage (said Rude). We need to ge there today. Let's walk.
Getting there, they entered without difficulty. Christalla the rogue was on the front. But the djine sensed an enormous source of telluron, and casted a wish to get it.
There was a gigantic cry from a beast, and Torian sensed intense danger.
At the moment they got to the room of passage, a giant Amorphious with many eyes, a type of Abyssal, appeared at the windows and casted paralyze at the first in line.
It was Flausin.
They had gathered at the passage, and they were at the other side.
They did it, and teleported, just in time.
Flausin fell to the ground, but Torian levitated him.
It took four hours to the alchemist Daytel to make a potion to cure that. These paralyzes can't be cured by normal Negation, explained the bakemono hunter.
At the same time, the group was investigating the area.
Big ratlings, extense areas of savage magic, beetle the size of a table, strange clouds in the sky, christal trees, small fungi life, but black, a smell of rot, and a purple water obviously not pure. This is the place the coordinates takes to, they see on the maps.
(End of Session)
Will the young heir girl to Principia be really ready to shape the world's future, according to the Prophecies? Will the group have find solutions enough to fight the enemy? Is it time to take a distance from our heores, and look to what's happening at other places?
So, let's start a small ride over the Trigemei worlds.
And welcome to the Wormbar, again.

Some considerations necessary
Will the young heir girl to Principia be really ready to shape the world's future, according to the Prophecies? Will the group have find solutions enough to fight the enemy? Is it time to take a distance from our heores, and look to what's happening at other places?
So, let's start a small ride over the Trigemei worlds.
That Which Secrets
Helo, everyone.
This time the story runned on April 23, 2010. I have left some time in advance to the posts to know better what the true story is, and then decide how to write the posts, on purpose. But I'll have some news on it. It's much more a resume this one.
(Previously)
Hadesh is in orbit.
The world of Toj is under a complex state of warfare. The enemy without a face starts to get called The Unbornd, as a few people starts to know he's on the run to change the past. No one knows his exact goals. No one knows what is to be done.
What the Beings of Light say, is there are people who are destined to deal with this.
Since Time had suffered a crash no one is certain of anything.
On the east, people sent messages to Ayanima and Shadeza, saying daemons suddenly desapeared, asking if there's someone responsible for that.
That's known daemons have a crush on fighting the empire of Azhar. But they're gone. Maybe the sudden death of their old daemongod Trisebus had turned 'em in other direction, or something worst then daemons is crawling the trigemei worlds.
- No, Torian (keep on Tack). The question is the world is overfragmented. There's no political unity. I guess it's something non planned, but we can't be sure of it. So, what's needed is someone to blame. This one must be a monster, a terrible enemy.
- We were attacked by dark sidhas, and basilisces. That's my family in it. Someone did stole drems, but we can't really be sure who did it. So, I need to resume everything to start contact my allegiances, and this monster you're saying doesn't fit. Why create something? There are problems, already.
- But no sense of union. See?
- I don't know.
- Explain this idea of you, Tack (they listen to the voice of Ayasta).
- The enemy can't be the enemy Unbornd. That's it.
- Why? (asked Torian).
- Because that's what he seems to want to happen, besides a crash between the mummi and the monotheists, but I don't know why.
- That make sense, but what?
- Well, Torian. Not even the daemons of the east are making public appearances. Or we create the monster, or someone will do it. If it is the enemy, he will have it under control.
- Right of you, but I'm sure it's no good.
- I understand what you're saying, Tack (they listen to Ayasta). I may even agree, but we have other things we must deal until the alignment.
- Right. So, we agree this could be done to take this advantage from the enemy.
- Yes, a fake enemy under control could be good (said Ayasta).
- I don't know (murmured Torian).
This talk doesn't end in here, but there are other things of much importance to show you.
(On the Orbit of Toj)
Time was passing, and Hadesh couldn't move a minimum measure. He sees something on a crater on the moon, with wings, as black as everything at this place.
His attention was attracted to the moon of Treiyka.
An enormous flying thing was moving from there to where he is, wherever it is. It's getting closer. He starts to think it's a dragon.
Yes, an imense white dragon's getting there.
He stops middle distance.
- What are you doing off the planet? (asked the dragon).
- If you help me to understand I can tell you (replied Hadesh, but he knew this dragon's old and not someone to mess with).
- What's your name?
- Hadesh.
- You can call me Tayra, the White Wyrm. Now you're here, I'll have things to say to you. There are laws to whom get out of the worlds.
- If you tell me I can say I understand.
- Easy, takkar. Easy. This is not something I can do alone. You need a passport. This is only the first time, and things are much less fast than you think. I'll take you back by teleport. Where do you want to go?
- I'll get there by myself (said the takkar, proudly).
The draka analyzed his armour, for a moment.
- You may survive. I offered my help, but if you want this way, try. I advise you I won't help in this way, and you're on your own.
- I can't move, or start moving.
The white wyrm moved him in the distance, aparently with his mind.
- Thank you, Tayra. We'll see each other again.
- We'll see. Survive the atmospheric reentry first, and I'll maybe find you later.
(Back to Torian's Castle)
- I'll lose my physical form, Tack. That's it what I mean.
- Why, Ayasta? (questioned Torian). Is this really necessary to you?
- If I die in this form, magic will be dead again. I'll assume the form of Ayanima Ayya, my grandmother, but in the form of a child. I'll have an aura visible to magic practitioners, and wings only visible to whom has Arcana, and I've decided my symbol. It'll be a dimond, at my forehead.
- I think it's really necessary, Torian.
- Now that she explained this I totally agree, Tack. When will it be?
- Members of all sidha races are gathering at my grandmother's place of birth, her Sacred Tree, to wait for me at this very moment.
- Can we do something to help?
- Thank you, Torian. The hyenas near the goblin village you know at the barbarian territory are waiting, 'cause I planned to make my sanctuary there.
- So, we'll wait for you there.
- Now I have a white dragon to talk to. So, we'll see each other soon.
This last part they didn't understood right away, but magic will be safer this way. Tack starts to see his dreams are somehow connected.
Maybe, that is the future where the enemy comes from.
(The Reentry)
Falling, falling, falling, faster, faster, and much faster each time, Hadesh sees he could never survive the fall when he gets to the ground.
So, he activates a beast power and concentrates.
He will fall at Rykland.
The air freezed and became ice around him, and he became an gigantic iceball. Tack saw that in a moment, as some kind of vision, and imediately teleported home. This last time he went to the Academy, the Headmaster had given him a ring of teleport. It can make eight teleports a day. He would negate that with all his might, and kill whoever tried to destroy his city and family.
Hadesh put his hand inside the Bag, and listened.
- Say ho.
- Ho (he cried, desperately).
And the imense iceball disapeared in middle air, upside Rykland's bright sky.
It starts to snow, moments later.
Hadesh know where he is, now. It's the plane of negative energy, and he immediately cried "Ho!", and was teleported to the plane of positive energy.
That, and the reentry basically destroyed his armour.
Tack looked to his family, at the back of his house, and his daughter handed him the Sword in the Sheath, but he simply said.
- This is not necessary, now.
Hadesh shouted with all his forces "Take to the physical plane. Out of here! Hoe!", and appeared on the backyard of Tack's house.
So, he said "Cure" and fainted.
Tack's daughter took the Sword, sad, and put it to the ground, which swallowed the Sword. This was the last time the Sword in the Sheath was seen.
- Are you all right? (Tack questioned his family).
Everyone safe, he explained he has duty again and will be back as soon as possible.
Then, the Primus family started to take care of Hadesh.
(Meanwhile)
Ayasta went to the Sidha Empire, on the east of the Gulf of Nine Realms. She appeared at the same Sacred Tree her grandmother Ayanima Ayya was born.
There, all representatives of all sidha races revered her with in a bow,...
...and she lost physical form.
(The Hyena's Sanctuary)
Tack, Torian, Christalla, Báech and Flausin were teleported.
They see a circle, and an imense number of hyenas around, all waiting paciently. So, they see an orange light and at the center of that area, a small figure appeared.
It's Ayasta, the Godess of Magic.
She casts her hands with a bless to the hyenas, and go to ask the group where to go.
(Back to Torian's Castle)
Christalla, Báech and Flausin went to the dining room as soon as they got there, maybe for the food they're eating at the Tavern construction's no good.
- This monster must be created, Ayasta.
- I understand your opinion, Tack, but we can't be sure it will serve it's purpose. I personally think it's a good idea, to let you know.
- This time I'm the only one who thinks it's dangerous.
- No, Torian. I think this too, but Tack's right. This can unite the world, under control. But Tack, I need to remember you something. The new djines. They doesn't have taboos. The three taboos are: Life, Death and Intelligence. Yes, the greater rings.
- The djine powers are divine (said Tack). They steal a divine spark to make their wishes later, and then give a thing immediately to the person, but they rarely create something. They do. I've seen it happen. But it's divine, so we need to deal with it. I agree. How much time do we have? I mean, until the new race understand that they doesn't have taboos?
- Two days (resumed Ayasta), according to Adria.
(End of Session)
Is it a good idea to create a new enemy to take this supposed advantage from the Unbornd? How are these djines without a leader change the world?
Hope you're enjoying your reading.
This time the story runned on April 23, 2010. I have left some time in advance to the posts to know better what the true story is, and then decide how to write the posts, on purpose. But I'll have some news on it. It's much more a resume this one.
(Previously)
Hadesh is in orbit.
Resume of this Day of Play
The world of Toj is under a complex state of warfare. The enemy without a face starts to get called The Unbornd, as a few people starts to know he's on the run to change the past. No one knows his exact goals. No one knows what is to be done.
What the Beings of Light say, is there are people who are destined to deal with this.
Since Time had suffered a crash no one is certain of anything.
On the east, people sent messages to Ayanima and Shadeza, saying daemons suddenly desapeared, asking if there's someone responsible for that.
That's known daemons have a crush on fighting the empire of Azhar. But they're gone. Maybe the sudden death of their old daemongod Trisebus had turned 'em in other direction, or something worst then daemons is crawling the trigemei worlds.
- No, Torian (keep on Tack). The question is the world is overfragmented. There's no political unity. I guess it's something non planned, but we can't be sure of it. So, what's needed is someone to blame. This one must be a monster, a terrible enemy.
- We were attacked by dark sidhas, and basilisces. That's my family in it. Someone did stole drems, but we can't really be sure who did it. So, I need to resume everything to start contact my allegiances, and this monster you're saying doesn't fit. Why create something? There are problems, already.
- But no sense of union. See?
- I don't know.
- Explain this idea of you, Tack (they listen to the voice of Ayasta).
- The enemy can't be the enemy Unbornd. That's it.
- Why? (asked Torian).
- Because that's what he seems to want to happen, besides a crash between the mummi and the monotheists, but I don't know why.
- That make sense, but what?
- Well, Torian. Not even the daemons of the east are making public appearances. Or we create the monster, or someone will do it. If it is the enemy, he will have it under control.
- Right of you, but I'm sure it's no good.
- I understand what you're saying, Tack (they listen to Ayasta). I may even agree, but we have other things we must deal until the alignment.
- Right. So, we agree this could be done to take this advantage from the enemy.
- Yes, a fake enemy under control could be good (said Ayasta).
- I don't know (murmured Torian).
This talk doesn't end in here, but there are other things of much importance to show you.
(On the Orbit of Toj)
Time was passing, and Hadesh couldn't move a minimum measure. He sees something on a crater on the moon, with wings, as black as everything at this place.
His attention was attracted to the moon of Treiyka.
An enormous flying thing was moving from there to where he is, wherever it is. It's getting closer. He starts to think it's a dragon.
Yes, an imense white dragon's getting there.
He stops middle distance.
- What are you doing off the planet? (asked the dragon).
- If you help me to understand I can tell you (replied Hadesh, but he knew this dragon's old and not someone to mess with).
- What's your name?
- Hadesh.
- You can call me Tayra, the White Wyrm. Now you're here, I'll have things to say to you. There are laws to whom get out of the worlds.
- If you tell me I can say I understand.
- Easy, takkar. Easy. This is not something I can do alone. You need a passport. This is only the first time, and things are much less fast than you think. I'll take you back by teleport. Where do you want to go?
- I'll get there by myself (said the takkar, proudly).

- Thank you, Tayra. We'll see each other again.
- We'll see. Survive the atmospheric reentry first, and I'll maybe find you later.

Session - What's Expected
Helo, everyone.
This time the Story, roled at April 21, '10, was a bit confuse. I'll try to explain it better with narrative, in the form of this resume. Deception has started. The Story is being shown from a neutral viewpoint, and I have planned all that will be written at the Novel. Storyline, new characters, parallels, the Events which will set a new level into this fictional universe.
Hope you're enjoying your reading.
They listen, so, to the voice of Ayasta.
- Get out of there. You upside of a Ship. (said her).
They started to fly away, with magic or psionic powers, and moved to a mountain, near the teleport which was used to come there.
So, they started to see the ground moving. Sand moving off the center, where's the Temple, and they all got really impressed with what they saw.
The Desert Temple is, in fact, a gigantic Temple Ship moving upwards.
Words are not found to describe what they suddenly see.
The imense Temple Ship move each time higher, as a flying bloom, passing the clouds, and then desapearing.
(Teleport Home)
The barabarian deserts of northeast are vast, as the place monsters had fight the Old Nine Realms during the daemonic invasion of the Great war. They see now that it has many secrets to show. It's an arid land, with a number of strange plants, walking cactus, hyenas, and red lizards. Land is red. Water is a rare spice, wich is in fact reason of war.
They stayed there looking to an imense templeship moving upwards, until far up from the clouds. It desapeared in the highness.
- Báech, could you teleport me home? (asked Tack).
- Of course, my friend. Your wish is a command to me, see you soon.
Immediately at home, Tack went to discuss with his fellows who integrate his investigation groups eh himself had put together in this time of disruption. Ryklanta is a place where every noble and merchant go, and it takes a number of hours to get the news from everywhere, with a distinct accent of course. But this time he was really impressed. The reason, a voice, was inside his own family.
- Let's go to the Troll Philosopher.
- That's an order, Torian. We are here, already.
The Troll welcomed the group, igniting the fire that marks the permission to enter the territory, and they went right to the point.
After talking, it's assumed Hadesh took a large part of the Ambar godess knowledge of time, at the moment everyone was suffering the Event, but Adria the new godess of time doesn't have this. So, the Troll accepted to try and invent a ritual to give this knowledge to Adria. He remembered Adria asked them to find a place her people the ichi to live.
Ayasta, who was watching the group all the time, at the Temple of Ivory, immediately started to search for the heritage at the planes.
As she have found, they were hiding from a vulcanoe at their territory, at the White.
- I've found the ichi (they listened to Ayasta's voice). Help me find a place for them, and your debt with Adria will have been fulfilled.
- I know of a place, Ayasta (said Rudyn). Look for the places near the great lakes, at Kalacoktoa. They start at those deep blue areas northwest, you can see them clearly from here in the autumn, and they come to be places where the fae don't go.
Ayasta created an image of herself with six arms, and opened a portal to the ichi people. First, they were a bit terrified, but they sensed her godhood, and wish to help. None of them are magic users, that's what Ayasta noticed.
So, she blessed a little girl with her magic ability, in a very similar way she took off and replaced magic to professor Tack Primus.
She sensed a predator following the ichi, but it was a spirit predator. This time, Death has made her choice and helped. Ayasta saw the presence of the Death godess, and She sent the predator to another direction, as if it were a veiled wish from some worshiper within the ichi people. Well, maybe it was.
- The ichi people passed the portal. Adria thank you for remembering her people. (said Ayasta). They're well, and will live now at the astral caves, northwest lakes, at Kalacoktoa.
It called the attention of a draka, and her name is Sin, so Ayasta started to talk with her. They talked about the universe, Kor the draka Highergod, and a lot more. This is the first divine approval from an entity whose status is godlike Ayasta has had. The other were talking about the Rings. She was watching, but Sin was there to make comments.
The group has come to a conclusion. That the Rings are a way to ressurrect Ambar. Of course, they don't know for sure.
Tack came back, and they were waiting for him.
- The Academy says magic is weaker than before, but there are other things important. All magic items made before Ambar's death are full power. All new items will suffer eighty percent penalty, so they think the Guild of Thieves will try and theft all they can, and soon, and maybe this will start a new war amongst those who want potent items of power.
- Hmm..... terrible. (said Torian). The Troll will make the ritual to transfer the hidden knowledge Hadesh has received as illumination to Adria, and Ayasta has saved the ichi people. They're living in Kalacoktoa, now, at the northwest lakes area.
The djine Báech was hungry, but normal food doesn't feed him. So, Tack takes a bag and gives him a coin made of telluron. It's a bag with maybe one hundred telluron coins, and the others became amazed, for this is an imense treasure, and so Tack explains the Academy had given it to him as patronage.
Báech eat it, easily, and it worked.
- Eah. It's like bones. Like eating bones, but the taste is a bit good.
Torian says he need to go home, and leave the meeting. At home, he talks with his new Staff, an item of power he has taken as reward at the templeship.
- Helo. What's your name?
- I don't have a name. Helo. And I don't exactly like names.
- Can I give you a name? Just to make it easier.....
- Well, this way, right. Do it.
- What you can do?
- I see magic's dead, here. Well, not exactly. Your aptitude is five times greater that the others, maybe for you have mantained it with all your might.
- You can keep me doing magic as it were before?
- Well, actually, I can make it stronger. But you need to take much care. It will get so strong it can kill you too, when you're casting. I can make twice, maybe the triple of what you could normally do.
- Can you keep it under control?
- Yeah, I guess. It's just a measure of exactitude.
- Right, then. Keep it under control, and we're going to shake things a bit, so when I need more I'll ask you to amplify.
- It sounds interesting.
Back at Troll's, Rude explains not only Adria needed help. Spike and his people are made at The Forge, a great construct in Shadeza. They don't know if the warknights will be made life, anymore, so Rude insist that the group help Spike.
Lena explains to Tack that the "map" they got at the East Labyrinth is in fact the map of a meeting centre made with all that can be done by the Guild of Thieves. So, they're constructing a Tavern. This will show how the Guild keep it's secrets.
Rude explains the ogres from Kalacoktoa have other things than magic. A form of much more evolved things at the same way as goblin's gadgets.
Daytel come back, and gives his Tome to Tack. So, the professor opens the Tome, but it's written on it that "I'm sleeping. Study Nature to understand yourself", and he closes the book of power without saying anyone what was written.
They thank the Troll, and start to go back to Torian's Castle. The flowers of Ora are seen on plantations, in every direction.
They keep talking at Daytel's apothekary.
- It's true. (Tack listen his daughter's voice). Actually, the Egg is at Hadesh's Bag of Things, and it's probably the way to ressurrect Ambar. I'm with you. And I always will be. Decide what you want with your friends, and we do the rest.
The whitch of the planes appears.
- Daytel, (she says), the old owner of the book is dead, well, not exactly, but the Tome is yours, now. It may happen that I'll need it, but it's yours. (so, she look to the veiled wishes of Tack, and look to him to say something without a bargain). The Balance depends on with whom are the Portals and who will gather the major number of portals. To balance things is one thing, but to fix or recondition the world is completely different. I've said what was needed. Goodbye.
She said this last part to everyone and vanished, but...
Where's Hadesh?
(The Dark Tower)
Hadesh has put his hand inside the Bag, and desapeared from sight.
He looks around, to see he's top of that gargantuan Tower he only saw at the Cursed Lake at Flausin's village territory. There was an imense shadow dactyl, which was flying in a distance. He sensed terribly affected by a presence so mean he watched the top of the Tower.
He sees a man, dressed in fine black clothes, and his right hand is made of vala.
- So, you came. Our enemy in common is dead, and it was the Old Mummi King. Now, the enemy is Tweet, the most important thief of History. The now Mummi King is not strong enough to be the enemy, and I won't explain why now. Go back, and I'll see you as soon as a plan can be settled. There is an enemy who haven't shown his face yet, and we need to wait until he show up.
- How do I go back? (asked Hadesh).
- Hmm..... so, you came without your own wish. Your friends are manipulating you. They think they're doing everything right. They're not. You're probably being manipulated by another enemy, the one who we don't know yet who he is. You don't know how to go back, even if your Ring knows. He's much more powerful than you, but you have much more potential. Go back the same way you came.
Hadesh sensed his armour covering all his body, in the presence of this evil creature, and calmly put the hand inside the Bag.
The Dark Grimoire was trying to say something.
So, he appeared at Daytel's apothekary, again, but they didn't looked for him yet, and were discussing what they'd do next when he came back.
- I tried to warn you (the Dark Grimoire hissed inside the Bag).
So, Hadesh tried to lie, saying he was just anywhere but it was not important, and Tack noticed he was in fact lying or hiding something.
After everyone notice something was wrong, the rogue princess asked him to show his mark to prove he's the right Hadesh. He does, but even so it's strange. Then the Ring of Intelligence says Hadesh was fooled, and probably by everyone, the grimoire, the léach (lich), by Death, by everyone, and so he decide to hide things til understand 'em better.
The meeting was interrupted by a guard.
He uses the coat of arms of Drazci, a knife and a two handed sword. Pilgrims were attacked by dark sidhas, and some soldiers fought them. They're outside with the bodies, but there's one captured and kept on the dungeons of the castle.
Torian said to the group he'd go interrogate the dark sidha.
And Tack went to the bodies, deal with what to do with the bodies, but this time Hadesh was aware of Tack's real intentions.
He goes, too.
- You won't do it. I'll do it.
- I know what I need to do, Hadesh. I respect you have your own secrets, as I noticed just now, but this time I know what to do.
- You have a family to take care of.
- I'm not doing it for my family, but for myself. I need to know, and this is the only way.
- I'm a physician, Tack.
- You won't change my mind, but I accept your help.
- Tell Torian. He needs to know.
The Drazci Dvoráka (Castle) is not imense, but it shows many rooms. Teleport is possible only if the master permits it to happen. The bronze is everywhere, as the colour of Priatel'sa family, but you can see also a lot of white, in special at furniture coverage. Some symbols, many of them elemental's related, may not scape to anyone who take a look at silverware, in contrast with hardwood, clear, and the walls, dark brown.
So, there is a dungeon.
Hadesh is the one who most use it. The Drazci is a family so respected, there's almost no sense maintaining a dungeon.
When Torian, the master of the castle was in front of the entrance, there were a huge explosion, so strong the castle shook. He immediately created a contention, and the djine Báech came to help. He took the flask he created to contain every type of black magic.
They put most of the poison inside the flask, but even so, Torian decided to evacuate the castle to decide what to do first.
Outside, soldiers didn't know what to do, until he regroup 'em and give the orders.
Tack asked everyone to report exactly everything that happened. It looks like the dark sidhas are monks, and their attack is an special attack to the chest.
The batlers have being saved. The castle was not under attack. It looks like the dark sidha had a bomb, and he was waiting for Torian to activate it. That could only be done it the bomb was inside his body, and an enemy who dares doing it.....
The Priatel immediately made a wind to clean the castle, and send the poison upwards, so he selected two soldiers from his guard to go there and look for anyone who could be there yet.
No one was in there.
So, he went to Tack and Hadesh, understood what they'd do, and asked help from the rogue princess and the djine to keep everyone attention while they do it.
Daytel went to his library, and came back with a backpack, so the side house were being used to keep the pilgrim bodies. It was a book of necromancy. Tack opened it, feeling this was the right thing to do. No one else could understand what he and Hadesh could analyzing the bodies.
Christalla, and the djine Báech were keeping everyone ocupied enough to understand what was happening, waiting for Torian to come back.
Torian and Hadesh went to the mountains, and more than three hundred ice flowers were being taken, so the elemental Ice was terrifying the area. They went quickly to the passageway after the mountains, where the mark of border with the barbarian wastes is located, and there where Hadesh and Adria always used to go to make magic studies were profaned.
Many black magic symbols were there. And a dead goat was there, in a dark ritual.
They analyzed and came to the conclusion that no God could see whatever would be done there, for the ice flowers could have been used to block any interference. That ice flowers could be used into a ritual so strong it could create or destroy the strongest.
Torian and Hadesh cama back, and the mage took the front to talk with the pilgrims, and in his discourse he said the family will hunt those who did it, for what he was cheered.
Unfortunately, Hadesh was in his beast form, so he started to play a young red dragon, and went to help Tack with his deeds.
Tack said he defined where is located immortality, and the attack with five finger points is an attack to take off imortality from someone. The flowers stolen are the same used to create the Mummi King, so these elves may not be servants to the Mummi King.
Tack went to goblin territory, fifty miles north, with Hadesh, to burn the bodies there, and a cloud of poison came from the bodies.
They kept the remain ashes into an urn, and teleported to the bay of Nine Realms.
This way, Hadesh opened the urn there underwater.
So, they teleported back. He finished everything and took a shower, there at the side house, for he had taken extra clothes.
The rogue princess then come back from the Tavern, saying everything was safe there.
At this time, the castle was liveable, again. Tack decided to go sleep, while the others started to discuss what to do next, as a sequence from this attack.
(The Dream)
Tack suddenly was in a middle of a public square. People use strange clothing, and he's using the same, blue pants, white shirt, and strange but very confortable shoes, but he was using a white hood. He immediately note everyone is ejik (human).
He tried to sense magic, but that simply didn't existed.
So, he tried to talk with people, but he said the word Bog and everyone runned from the area, calmly though, for it immediately started to rain acid.
He runned also, but just not to call attention.
No one spoke common, elfic, or whatever other languages he tried, but someone explained him Bog is this thing everyone was chewing.
Someone gave it to him, but he sensed it was made of pure Corruption.
He understood some syllables were forbidden, and all of them were the basic syllables used in names of Gods, but Efemmera was known there, as the thing that were down there (one of them pointed down).
He called the Dreammaker.
- Helo, professor. (said him, appearing on his side). Interesting. This dream was kept hidden for the last five hundred and twenty one years. I didn't know what it was. It looks like you're seeing the future, or the future someone has reserved to show you a long time ago.
Tack woke up and rightly went to tell Hadesh about the dream.
(Pause)
Professor Primus went to the Academy, and was surprised by other teachers. He negated the paralyze, and give direction to the Headmaster.
He asked why his magic is different, and suported Primus giving an explanation to the other teachers.
The Headmaster let him inside the Forbidden Library.
(Back at Priatelka)
- So, but I listened to your wish, and that's how you have the Egg inside your Bag.
- When you'd tell me that, Báech?
- Oah, I forgot. Somehow. But it's there, inside your Bag.
- Great.
Hadesh put the hand inside the Bag, and listened to Flausin's voice imitating a human little girl and saying "The one who take the sword from the sheath will defeat the Enemy", and Hadesh desapeared, going to what he identify as the Plane of Negative Energy.
(At The Forbidden Library)
Tack was searching for two books, and the Headmaster let him in, using a strange yellow clothe, and what he discovers is what follow.
The Event duration is two years, until the set free of the Antigods. The book tells ritual experimentalism with death, life, and new forms of reincarnation, ressurrection, and the curse of the mummy, with examples to everything.
It tells to "get together the major number of Portals, and decide the new rules of reincarnation", dated with the exactly today present day.
He could also see, dated five hundred and twenty one years ago, a set of planar coordinates, with supposed positions to eight locations, marked "Portal", and used a magic trick to remember those numbers with exatitude as he wishes.
He go back with the Headmaster, and say to the Headmaster his group is the group that is trying to put all things in it's right place.
The Headmaster gives him a vow he'd take much care with this information, and Tack explain Ayasta, the New Godess of Magic is in his group.
(Meanwhile)
Hadesh finds a gimba, like a tobacco stub, and as he never keep 'em, he understand it's the Egg. So, he asks the Egg to get off there.
- Say Hoe.
- Hoe.
He immediately appeared at the Plane of Positive Energy.
(Tack was preparing to go Priatel's)
Hadesh listened again to the "Say Hoe", and he asked to be anywhere but there.
- Say Hoe.
- Hoe.
Luckily, due to he being changing planes so quickly, his armous was locked. For now he's looking to Toj, from the outside.
He's in orbit.
(End of Session)
Hope you're enjoying your reading.
And Thank you.
This time the Story, roled at April 21, '10, was a bit confuse. I'll try to explain it better with narrative, in the form of this resume. Deception has started. The Story is being shown from a neutral viewpoint, and I have planned all that will be written at the Novel. Storyline, new characters, parallels, the Events which will set a new level into this fictional universe.
Hope you're enjoying your reading.
Previously...
They listen, so, to the voice of Ayasta.
- Get out of there. You upside of a Ship. (said her).
They started to fly away, with magic or psionic powers, and moved to a mountain, near the teleport which was used to come there.
So, they started to see the ground moving. Sand moving off the center, where's the Temple, and they all got really impressed with what they saw.
The Desert Temple is, in fact, a gigantic Temple Ship moving upwards.
Words are not found to describe what they suddenly see.
The imense Temple Ship move each time higher, as a flying bloom, passing the clouds, and then desapearing.
(Teleport Home)
The barabarian deserts of northeast are vast, as the place monsters had fight the Old Nine Realms during the daemonic invasion of the Great war. They see now that it has many secrets to show. It's an arid land, with a number of strange plants, walking cactus, hyenas, and red lizards. Land is red. Water is a rare spice, wich is in fact reason of war.
They stayed there looking to an imense templeship moving upwards, until far up from the clouds. It desapeared in the highness.
- Báech, could you teleport me home? (asked Tack).
- Of course, my friend. Your wish is a command to me, see you soon.
Immediately at home, Tack went to discuss with his fellows who integrate his investigation groups eh himself had put together in this time of disruption. Ryklanta is a place where every noble and merchant go, and it takes a number of hours to get the news from everywhere, with a distinct accent of course. But this time he was really impressed. The reason, a voice, was inside his own family.
- Let's go to the Troll Philosopher.
- That's an order, Torian. We are here, already.
The Troll welcomed the group, igniting the fire that marks the permission to enter the territory, and they went right to the point.
After talking, it's assumed Hadesh took a large part of the Ambar godess knowledge of time, at the moment everyone was suffering the Event, but Adria the new godess of time doesn't have this. So, the Troll accepted to try and invent a ritual to give this knowledge to Adria. He remembered Adria asked them to find a place her people the ichi to live.
Ayasta, who was watching the group all the time, at the Temple of Ivory, immediately started to search for the heritage at the planes.
As she have found, they were hiding from a vulcanoe at their territory, at the White.
- I've found the ichi (they listened to Ayasta's voice). Help me find a place for them, and your debt with Adria will have been fulfilled.
- I know of a place, Ayasta (said Rudyn). Look for the places near the great lakes, at Kalacoktoa. They start at those deep blue areas northwest, you can see them clearly from here in the autumn, and they come to be places where the fae don't go.
Ayasta created an image of herself with six arms, and opened a portal to the ichi people. First, they were a bit terrified, but they sensed her godhood, and wish to help. None of them are magic users, that's what Ayasta noticed.
So, she blessed a little girl with her magic ability, in a very similar way she took off and replaced magic to professor Tack Primus.
She sensed a predator following the ichi, but it was a spirit predator. This time, Death has made her choice and helped. Ayasta saw the presence of the Death godess, and She sent the predator to another direction, as if it were a veiled wish from some worshiper within the ichi people. Well, maybe it was.
- The ichi people passed the portal. Adria thank you for remembering her people. (said Ayasta). They're well, and will live now at the astral caves, northwest lakes, at Kalacoktoa.
It called the attention of a draka, and her name is Sin, so Ayasta started to talk with her. They talked about the universe, Kor the draka Highergod, and a lot more. This is the first divine approval from an entity whose status is godlike Ayasta has had. The other were talking about the Rings. She was watching, but Sin was there to make comments.
The group has come to a conclusion. That the Rings are a way to ressurrect Ambar. Of course, they don't know for sure.
Tack came back, and they were waiting for him.
- The Academy says magic is weaker than before, but there are other things important. All magic items made before Ambar's death are full power. All new items will suffer eighty percent penalty, so they think the Guild of Thieves will try and theft all they can, and soon, and maybe this will start a new war amongst those who want potent items of power.
- Hmm..... terrible. (said Torian). The Troll will make the ritual to transfer the hidden knowledge Hadesh has received as illumination to Adria, and Ayasta has saved the ichi people. They're living in Kalacoktoa, now, at the northwest lakes area.
The djine Báech was hungry, but normal food doesn't feed him. So, Tack takes a bag and gives him a coin made of telluron. It's a bag with maybe one hundred telluron coins, and the others became amazed, for this is an imense treasure, and so Tack explains the Academy had given it to him as patronage.
Báech eat it, easily, and it worked.
- Eah. It's like bones. Like eating bones, but the taste is a bit good.
Torian says he need to go home, and leave the meeting. At home, he talks with his new Staff, an item of power he has taken as reward at the templeship.
- Helo. What's your name?
- I don't have a name. Helo. And I don't exactly like names.
- Can I give you a name? Just to make it easier.....
- Well, this way, right. Do it.
- What you can do?
- I see magic's dead, here. Well, not exactly. Your aptitude is five times greater that the others, maybe for you have mantained it with all your might.
- You can keep me doing magic as it were before?
- Well, actually, I can make it stronger. But you need to take much care. It will get so strong it can kill you too, when you're casting. I can make twice, maybe the triple of what you could normally do.
- Can you keep it under control?
- Yeah, I guess. It's just a measure of exactitude.
- Right, then. Keep it under control, and we're going to shake things a bit, so when I need more I'll ask you to amplify.
- It sounds interesting.
Back at Troll's, Rude explains not only Adria needed help. Spike and his people are made at The Forge, a great construct in Shadeza. They don't know if the warknights will be made life, anymore, so Rude insist that the group help Spike.
Lena explains to Tack that the "map" they got at the East Labyrinth is in fact the map of a meeting centre made with all that can be done by the Guild of Thieves. So, they're constructing a Tavern. This will show how the Guild keep it's secrets.
Rude explains the ogres from Kalacoktoa have other things than magic. A form of much more evolved things at the same way as goblin's gadgets.
Daytel come back, and gives his Tome to Tack. So, the professor opens the Tome, but it's written on it that "I'm sleeping. Study Nature to understand yourself", and he closes the book of power without saying anyone what was written.
They thank the Troll, and start to go back to Torian's Castle. The flowers of Ora are seen on plantations, in every direction.
They keep talking at Daytel's apothekary.
- It's true. (Tack listen his daughter's voice). Actually, the Egg is at Hadesh's Bag of Things, and it's probably the way to ressurrect Ambar. I'm with you. And I always will be. Decide what you want with your friends, and we do the rest.
The whitch of the planes appears.
- Daytel, (she says), the old owner of the book is dead, well, not exactly, but the Tome is yours, now. It may happen that I'll need it, but it's yours. (so, she look to the veiled wishes of Tack, and look to him to say something without a bargain). The Balance depends on with whom are the Portals and who will gather the major number of portals. To balance things is one thing, but to fix or recondition the world is completely different. I've said what was needed. Goodbye.
She said this last part to everyone and vanished, but...
Where's Hadesh?
(The Dark Tower)
Hadesh has put his hand inside the Bag, and desapeared from sight.
He looks around, to see he's top of that gargantuan Tower he only saw at the Cursed Lake at Flausin's village territory. There was an imense shadow dactyl, which was flying in a distance. He sensed terribly affected by a presence so mean he watched the top of the Tower.
He sees a man, dressed in fine black clothes, and his right hand is made of vala.
- So, you came. Our enemy in common is dead, and it was the Old Mummi King. Now, the enemy is Tweet, the most important thief of History. The now Mummi King is not strong enough to be the enemy, and I won't explain why now. Go back, and I'll see you as soon as a plan can be settled. There is an enemy who haven't shown his face yet, and we need to wait until he show up.
- How do I go back? (asked Hadesh).
- Hmm..... so, you came without your own wish. Your friends are manipulating you. They think they're doing everything right. They're not. You're probably being manipulated by another enemy, the one who we don't know yet who he is. You don't know how to go back, even if your Ring knows. He's much more powerful than you, but you have much more potential. Go back the same way you came.
Hadesh sensed his armour covering all his body, in the presence of this evil creature, and calmly put the hand inside the Bag.
The Dark Grimoire was trying to say something.
So, he appeared at Daytel's apothekary, again, but they didn't looked for him yet, and were discussing what they'd do next when he came back.
- I tried to warn you (the Dark Grimoire hissed inside the Bag).
So, Hadesh tried to lie, saying he was just anywhere but it was not important, and Tack noticed he was in fact lying or hiding something.
After everyone notice something was wrong, the rogue princess asked him to show his mark to prove he's the right Hadesh. He does, but even so it's strange. Then the Ring of Intelligence says Hadesh was fooled, and probably by everyone, the grimoire, the léach (lich), by Death, by everyone, and so he decide to hide things til understand 'em better.
The meeting was interrupted by a guard.
He uses the coat of arms of Drazci, a knife and a two handed sword. Pilgrims were attacked by dark sidhas, and some soldiers fought them. They're outside with the bodies, but there's one captured and kept on the dungeons of the castle.
Torian said to the group he'd go interrogate the dark sidha.
And Tack went to the bodies, deal with what to do with the bodies, but this time Hadesh was aware of Tack's real intentions.
He goes, too.
- You won't do it. I'll do it.
- I know what I need to do, Hadesh. I respect you have your own secrets, as I noticed just now, but this time I know what to do.
- You have a family to take care of.
- I'm not doing it for my family, but for myself. I need to know, and this is the only way.
- I'm a physician, Tack.
- You won't change my mind, but I accept your help.
- Tell Torian. He needs to know.
The Drazci Dvoráka (Castle) is not imense, but it shows many rooms. Teleport is possible only if the master permits it to happen. The bronze is everywhere, as the colour of Priatel'sa family, but you can see also a lot of white, in special at furniture coverage. Some symbols, many of them elemental's related, may not scape to anyone who take a look at silverware, in contrast with hardwood, clear, and the walls, dark brown.
So, there is a dungeon.
Hadesh is the one who most use it. The Drazci is a family so respected, there's almost no sense maintaining a dungeon.
When Torian, the master of the castle was in front of the entrance, there were a huge explosion, so strong the castle shook. He immediately created a contention, and the djine Báech came to help. He took the flask he created to contain every type of black magic.
They put most of the poison inside the flask, but even so, Torian decided to evacuate the castle to decide what to do first.
Outside, soldiers didn't know what to do, until he regroup 'em and give the orders.
Tack asked everyone to report exactly everything that happened. It looks like the dark sidhas are monks, and their attack is an special attack to the chest.
The batlers have being saved. The castle was not under attack. It looks like the dark sidha had a bomb, and he was waiting for Torian to activate it. That could only be done it the bomb was inside his body, and an enemy who dares doing it.....
The Priatel immediately made a wind to clean the castle, and send the poison upwards, so he selected two soldiers from his guard to go there and look for anyone who could be there yet.
No one was in there.
So, he went to Tack and Hadesh, understood what they'd do, and asked help from the rogue princess and the djine to keep everyone attention while they do it.
Daytel went to his library, and came back with a backpack, so the side house were being used to keep the pilgrim bodies. It was a book of necromancy. Tack opened it, feeling this was the right thing to do. No one else could understand what he and Hadesh could analyzing the bodies.
Christalla, and the djine Báech were keeping everyone ocupied enough to understand what was happening, waiting for Torian to come back.
Torian and Hadesh went to the mountains, and more than three hundred ice flowers were being taken, so the elemental Ice was terrifying the area. They went quickly to the passageway after the mountains, where the mark of border with the barbarian wastes is located, and there where Hadesh and Adria always used to go to make magic studies were profaned.
Many black magic symbols were there. And a dead goat was there, in a dark ritual.
They analyzed and came to the conclusion that no God could see whatever would be done there, for the ice flowers could have been used to block any interference. That ice flowers could be used into a ritual so strong it could create or destroy the strongest.
Torian and Hadesh cama back, and the mage took the front to talk with the pilgrims, and in his discourse he said the family will hunt those who did it, for what he was cheered.
Unfortunately, Hadesh was in his beast form, so he started to play a young red dragon, and went to help Tack with his deeds.
Tack said he defined where is located immortality, and the attack with five finger points is an attack to take off imortality from someone. The flowers stolen are the same used to create the Mummi King, so these elves may not be servants to the Mummi King.
Tack went to goblin territory, fifty miles north, with Hadesh, to burn the bodies there, and a cloud of poison came from the bodies.
They kept the remain ashes into an urn, and teleported to the bay of Nine Realms.
This way, Hadesh opened the urn there underwater.
So, they teleported back. He finished everything and took a shower, there at the side house, for he had taken extra clothes.
The rogue princess then come back from the Tavern, saying everything was safe there.
At this time, the castle was liveable, again. Tack decided to go sleep, while the others started to discuss what to do next, as a sequence from this attack.
(The Dream)
Tack suddenly was in a middle of a public square. People use strange clothing, and he's using the same, blue pants, white shirt, and strange but very confortable shoes, but he was using a white hood. He immediately note everyone is ejik (human).
He tried to sense magic, but that simply didn't existed.
So, he tried to talk with people, but he said the word Bog and everyone runned from the area, calmly though, for it immediately started to rain acid.
He runned also, but just not to call attention.
No one spoke common, elfic, or whatever other languages he tried, but someone explained him Bog is this thing everyone was chewing.
Someone gave it to him, but he sensed it was made of pure Corruption.
He understood some syllables were forbidden, and all of them were the basic syllables used in names of Gods, but Efemmera was known there, as the thing that were down there (one of them pointed down).
He called the Dreammaker.
- Helo, professor. (said him, appearing on his side). Interesting. This dream was kept hidden for the last five hundred and twenty one years. I didn't know what it was. It looks like you're seeing the future, or the future someone has reserved to show you a long time ago.
Tack woke up and rightly went to tell Hadesh about the dream.
(Pause)
Professor Primus went to the Academy, and was surprised by other teachers. He negated the paralyze, and give direction to the Headmaster.
He asked why his magic is different, and suported Primus giving an explanation to the other teachers.
The Headmaster let him inside the Forbidden Library.
(Back at Priatelka)
- So, but I listened to your wish, and that's how you have the Egg inside your Bag.
- When you'd tell me that, Báech?
- Oah, I forgot. Somehow. But it's there, inside your Bag.
- Great.
Hadesh put the hand inside the Bag, and listened to Flausin's voice imitating a human little girl and saying "The one who take the sword from the sheath will defeat the Enemy", and Hadesh desapeared, going to what he identify as the Plane of Negative Energy.
(At The Forbidden Library)
Tack was searching for two books, and the Headmaster let him in, using a strange yellow clothe, and what he discovers is what follow.

He go back with the Headmaster, and say to the Headmaster his group is the group that is trying to put all things in it's right place.
The Headmaster gives him a vow he'd take much care with this information, and Tack explain Ayasta, the New Godess of Magic is in his group.
(Meanwhile)
Hadesh finds a gimba, like a tobacco stub, and as he never keep 'em, he understand it's the Egg. So, he asks the Egg to get off there.
- Say Hoe.
- Hoe.
He immediately appeared at the Plane of Positive Energy.
(Tack was preparing to go Priatel's)
Hadesh listened again to the "Say Hoe", and he asked to be anywhere but there.
- Say Hoe.
- Hoe.
Luckily, due to he being changing planes so quickly, his armous was locked. For now he's looking to Toj, from the outside.
He's in orbit.
