:: Deep in the heart of Edhel Ndor. Outside the castle of GreenStone. Shea sat. Her hands rested upon her very pregnant stomach. The day was new and the winds slipped by, brushing through her short dark blue hair. Shea had been back to Rhydin, last night and the night before.::

:: Not much had changed. But then much had. Her eyes were closed yet Elven ears picked up the soft rustling of paper in the wind.. Jade hues opened and focused upon the air around here, and then she saw it a folded piece of paper. Her brows rose and she willed it to land in her lap. Her fingers graced the paper for a moment before she opened it, unfolding it. Letters came to her this way before, from all over. This note was from Rhydin, Shea could tell that much.::

::Then she began to read the words there written out loud softly to herself.:: Shea, I know that I have been away for sometime now, but I must speak to you. There is something going on inside of me, and I must discuss matters with you. I ask for a meeting. anything and anytime will do. I can explain everything there.
Assadar

::She had not seen nor heard from Assadar since their last day of training many many months ago. Then again Shea didn't much run in the popular circles around Rhydin these days. She'd been gone too. Slowly she rose tucking that letter in to her pocket and headed inside to gather her cloak, and for once her dagger. It was light weight enough. The past two eves shed been back in Rhydin she had not taken a weapon, but she would now just incase.She felt her daughter give a soft kick and Shea shook her head. And shifted that cloak on, then summoned the winds to take her back to Rhydin.::


::She would arrive and the winds would announce her gusting through all of the city, and out laying areas. She would then wait there outside that Inn she had long forgotten the inn without a name. It had not changed. There by the tree she would wait, hoping that where ever in the forsaken city Assadar might be that he would sense now that she was here. He had asked to meet with her and she had come.And hopefully thsoe announcing wind gusts would let him know where she would await him::

He was on top of the roof of the inn he was staying at... The shady inn on the outskirts of town. He had been meditating, when he felt it. Although most of his wind, water, and earth elemental powers had wained, he could sense the wind. She had made it powerful enough for him to feel it. She must have received the letter. He could not remember how much time had passed, but thankfully she had received it. He ducked inside the inn and headed for his room. He put on his all black tunic and pants, then wrapped himself with his black cloak. He grabbed his daggers and attached one to his leg sheath, and the other around his waist. As he walked out, he caught himself in the mirror. His eyes were glowing silver. It caught him by surprise. Silver hued eyes and an all black cloak...

He walked out the door and headed for the most logical place to find her... The old nameless in that they used to meet for training. It seemed like so long ago. He headed out the door, and jumped to the rooftops. This had become his favorite way to travel now. He could do so easily, and could go without notice. As he approached the inn, he halted. There she was... She was different though... He leaped to the ground, and began to walk up to the tree... "Hello Shea... It has been far to long"

::The wind tousled her cloak, and jade hues glanced to him from under that drawn hood, jade hues that now swirled with light blue color and magic. Gloved hands rose and Shea lowered her hood, her hair was short now, and the dark blue was now mixed with traces of silver. Shea had that glow about her, and that cloak did not hide the fact that she was with child. Nor the fact that she was armed. Not that she needed a weapon sheathed to her belt to be armed.::


Greetings Assadar :: glancing to him in his black cloak and those silver eyes, they took her by surprise as well.:; It has been far too long. Ye wished to speak with me :: Yes, she had gotten the letter and had willed her self to that old forgotten inn with no name, the one with so many memories.::


::Shea had lost none of her power, in fact she had gained much more. Time away from rhydin and time with Victor had changed her...But she still carried that air of power, goddess of the winds always::

Assadar

He was surprised at first, and did not bother to hide the fact that he was taken aback by Shea's appearance. He looked directly to her belly. "Quel, Shea. I see you are with child. Congratulations. If I had known, I would not have sent for you."

He reached his arm out in a sign of good will, and greeting. Then continued. "Yes, I asked you to meet me here, but if you wish, we can go elsewhere so that you can sit, and at least have some rest. I would hate to upset, what was that gentleman's name? Victor was it? I would hate for him to be upset that a Blood Elf he hardly knows was the reason his mate was so tired when she arrived home." He tried to show some gesture. However, if Shea had not changed much, she more than likely would say no...

::Shea shook her head to the first fact.:: I come when I am needed, or wen I wish to Rhydin. With Child or Nae. ::Shea smiled touyched by his concern for her well being.She felt a slight kick and shook her head.:: I am touched by your concern Assadar but,I assure you I am fine standing for now. Nae to worry Victor will not be uspet with ye. I may be with child, but I am still me.

:: Those mystic winds shifted through her hair.:: So you've come to terms with your roots.. :: a bright smile then and a musing in her jade toned hues:: But please, I would like to know how have you been? I have not seen you in ages. Ye have changed... :; Elven eyes saw much, but Shea sensed more than she saw.::

Assadar

Date: 2007-09-24 01:21 EST
He returned the smile. He thought of the past months... "It has seemed like ages. I left abruptly a while back. As you know, my people in Quel'Thalas were plagued by the Chaotic Elementals. When I came to Rhy'Din the first time, I was here on a mission Shea. I was a general of the army in my homeland. I had to return to help them. Storm went with me, but she left shortly after the war ended and my people were victorious." He smiled a brief smile as he thought of his people back home. He had missed them, but knew that he no longer belonged amongst them...

He looked back to Shea and continued with a smile. "They asked me to lead them... However, I knew that I could not. I set up a council to rule over them, packed my things, and left. Once back here, I sealed the portal to my homeland from this side. I can return if I wish to conjure a portal, but at this time I do not." He shook his head slightly, and felt his hair move slightly in the wind. He blinked, and allowed sometime to take the information in, he would let her respond before moving on to the true reason for him asking her here...

::Shea listened to every word and watched him, ever gesture and that smile.Listening to the victory over those who would wish his people and homelands ill.:: I am glad the battle was won, and that both you and Lady Storm are both alright after the battle.

:: Shea shifted lightly, she knew he had not called her here to tell her the story of his peoples victory,but it was a story she wanted to hear.:: So your back in Rhydin, for good? :: Shifting her gloved hands up through her hair.:: I understand what it is like to fight for your homelands, and to come here seeking a bit of peace. ::Shea knew that all too well.:: But I sense that telling me this story is not why ye called me here. Not that I am not glad to hear of your victory. You have called me here for other reasons. :: Those jade hues flickered and the winds shifted through her dark green cloak.::

Assadar

Date: 2007-09-24 17:18 EST
There was another reason for him calling her here. He looked around for a minute. One thing that he had learned since his time in Quel'Thalas was to be ever alert. "I am in Rhy'Din for as long as I wish, however, for now, it would seem to be a more permanent situation."

He shifted slightly, and rubbed his chin. He could feel the wind shift around him. He looked at Shea, then straight faced he replied to why she was here. "Shea, something has happened to me that I do not quite understand. While I fought the Chaotics, I came into contact with the core of one. There was a flash of light, I went unconscious, and when I awoke, I felt different. However, over the past few months, there has been a change. All of my elemental powers have begun to diminish... That is, all but fire. However, I believe I have acquired a new element. I believe that I have acquired the ability to tap into the arcane element, what I believe to be the element of the Chaotics." He paused and looked to Shea. He would wait for a response from her about this information before moving on.

:;Jade hues shifted looking around. In Rhydin Shea was always on high alert.Then her eyes rested on him as he spoke. A daring battle indeed.All but fire, that made her dark blue brows rise.Shea might have come tod eal with ehr fears for fire,and those who possed that most powerful of elements,but she was always careful.:: Sounds to me like you took on the elemnts more common to the world of Chaotics. The core of a chaotic is powerful, like pure enegry. I know very little about pure elements, like those from your home. Quel'Thalas. Your losing a grip on all elements but fire, because it is the most powerful. But the abilty to tap in to the arcane element, this element of these Chaotics. It could be dangerous,it could be a blessing.


::She shifted and leaned against the tree behind her just slightly.:: In order to know I'd have to know more. I may be famialr with the elements but pure elementals are not my best study. For I am elvish and can never get to the point that apure elemental can.Like Storm. But I will offer ye what help I can.I wish to know more about these Chatoics, and the battle.That is if your willing to divuldge.

As she shifted, he watched her with concern. He had never known anyone to go out like Shea had when pregnant. He was concerned for her well being, ironically, she seemed more concerned for his. He smiled at her as the winds shifted again. He blinked, and recalled the battles. "As I battled my way through the enemy lines, I used my elementalist powers which I learned from you, in combination with the elemental combat powers I learned from Storm. Time after time, my brethren and I fought Chaotic after Chaotic. We fought our own kind as well. There were those who wished to harness the power of the Chaotics..."

He stopped for a moment. The thought of fighting his own brethren ached his heart. He had never been a killer, yet, he had to do what needed to be done to save his people. "Then it happened. I was in the chamber of the Elders, the evil rulers that had plagued Quel'Thalas by bringing the Chaotics there, when it happened. I was fighting Fon, their leader, when he threw one at me. he threw one of the Chaotic Elemental's cores at me. I struck it with the dagger I had, and it split in two. As it split, I felt a surge of energy run through me. It was like nothing I had ever felt before. It was... Pure energy... Pure power. I felt what my ancestors must have felt when they first came into contact with the arcane... That is when I knew I could not stay. Ever since that day, I have felt my other elemental powers diminishing, except for fire, and my arcane powers have been growing." He knew it was a lot to take in. He gave her a half smile. He breathed a little. He had not divulged this information to anyone before, not even his second in command back in Quel'Thalas. It felt good to get it off his chest. He took a deep breath and looked to Shea, awaiting a reply.

::Shea listened leaning there, she could see the concern in his eyes, but she was merely leaning there in all too classic of Shea style. The battle reminded her much of the battle many years before in Edhel Ndor, friends had become foes because of magic and deep arcane powers of fire. Shea had not relished in taking the lives of those she had once fought side by side with or lead in to battle either and she could tell by that look upon his face as he spoke of having to fight his own kind that he did not take any enjoyment in it. In that moments pause she studied his face. But remained quiet as he continued::

:: Shea listened to the account of how one of the Chaotic Element's cores was tossed at him. And that which followed after. That core sounded much like Alarics Obsidian orb, something of pure power, something more than powerful, true pure energy. Perhaps Shea knew more about Chaotic than she first thought.:: It is never easy to fight those whom you once called brethren :: Finally she spoke.Shea remembered that pain all to well.::


The tale is very..intense. But by that account I must say that something very powerful happened when the core was split in two. :: Shea was trying not to recall old days, the day she destroyed the orb that Alaric carried, but she knew somehow it was very similar.: And as I thought before the fire powers may never dull, for it is the most powerful, and has a very deep arcane tie. You might becoming a different sort of Elemental user Assadar. One that may have to learn to use the pure arcane powers the Chaotic had. Coming in to contact with a chaotic core, changes a person. :: There were things that were making a lot of sense to her now about the past. She leaned off the tree then.:: If it is so that your arcane powers are becoming more powerful, than you will have to learn how to control them better than a chaotic and also you will have to be able to control the fire elemental more.


:: She gazed to him, very serious. Shea knew what a deep power in fire elemental brought.:: You left your home becasue you didn't want anyone else to know. I get the feeling that I am the only one you've told. It may be wise that way, though I do suggest you also speak to Storm. She knows more about being one of pure elemental than I do. But I will help in what ways I can.What aid can I give ye in this matter?

Assadar

Date: 2007-09-25 18:59 EST
He was not expecting help. She was pregnant, and as much as he wanted the help, he was also not going to expect her to help. "Shea, I appreciate your kindness, and I cannot begin to thank you for coming, and hearing my plea, but I do not know what it is that you wish to help me with. If I had known you were pregnant I would not have even called you here in the first place. I do not want to press you even further. At this time, yo are not fit to train me. I mean to say, that if you were to draw to much energy, you could do damage to both you and the child. I would wish no harm upon either of you." He meant what he said. he wished no ill upon her, and he gave a weak smile as he finished his sentence. In truth, he did want her to help him, but in good conscience, he could not ask for it.

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-09-26 00:15 EST
::Shea gave him that look. She wasn't backing down on the fact that she wanted to help. With child or not she would help. :: I thank you for your concern Assadar, but I am fit as a fiddle, with child or not. And despite what most may think or say I cans till do good here. ::The winds rose at her whim and that cloak tossed about::


And training will do me good, Victor is already making jokes about the fact that I am wide as I am tall. Do not fear for my daughter or myself. Please allow me to help you, I can protect myself and Adamina well enough. ::Shea wasn't backing down from this, and she would not be swayed otherwise.:: I am still very capable of helping you. ::A soft smile given, Shea was hiding a few things about her 'new' self. Those wings were one hidden by that cloak and Elven magics.Another was those longer fang like teeth she'd chosen to have. Shea was much more than elvish these days. That glimmer of light blue color in her jade tones hues only got stronger and brighter.::


No ill will come to me. Its rather hard to hurt me or kill me. So no more of this me being pregant.It is of no matter. I can still fight and defend with the best of them, though these days its less with a sword. ::Per Victors request, but he had never asked her not to train, besides she needed the exercise right.:: I wish to help :: she took a step forward and placed a gloved hand upon his shoulder:: Let me help. I assure you I will not push myself too hard.

Assadar

Date: 2007-09-26 02:58 EST
The touch on his shoulder reassured him. He had never been one to refuse help, especially from Shea. "If you insist Shea, than I would thoroughly enjoy the help you would have to offer." He was still not fully convinced, but he knew Shea would be far more angry if he declined for no other reason than her child. "Might I add that Adamina is a beautiful name."

He rose a little in stature, making himself seem taller than he was. "Shea, I would like to show you some of the things that I have already learned on my own. Is that okay? Or would you like to do something different?" He was eager to show off the powers he had already acquired, but he did not want to be cocky. He kept his cool, but he knew Shea, and he knew she could already see right through him. He smiled a little...

Date: 2007-09-26 13:52 EST
::Shea smiled to that, he may have his reasons and she was touched by his concern for her and her daughter. But Shea knew how far she could push herself,and would never dare put Adamina in danger::

::.A brighter smile then at the mention of Adamina being a beautiful name.:: It was my mothers name. :: said softly. Then a nod to him at the mention of showing off what he had learned.:: yes please I would like to see what ye have learned :: dark brows rose softly and she smirked just lightly at his almost cocky attitude,but for now she would let it pass.Back to leaning upon that tree she would go and she gave him that classic curt Shea nod as if to say,'begin when you are ready.'::

He reached inside of himself. He had yet to figure out what it was that he was drawing upon. Whether he was drawing upon darkness, or chaos itself. He then lept up, and drew upon the power to take him higher, then backward onto the roof of the inn. He then ran, drawing on the power to make him a bit faster. As he came to the edge of the roof, he lept again to the next roof, than to the next. He then used the power to leap to where Shea was. As he came in, his hair and robes waving in the wind, he stopped himself in mid-air. He was just standing their levitating in front of her. He let himself slowly down after a few more seconds. He smiled, and nodded. Oh no, he was not done yet.

He drew upon the fire within to throw up three fireballs directly above him and Shea. They went high, but then began to fall back toward them. he looked to Shea "Do not worry." He said it very confidently, and once again drew on the power. He had created a shield around the two of them. As the fireballs hit the invisible shield, the fizzled out immediately, only leaving a little smoke, and a small purple tint where they hit.

"There is only one other thing to show you. The other I must explain." He drew the power from within. This would be the last thing he could do for a bit. He could feel his energy going fast. He aimed at a brick that was sitting on the ground. He extended his right arm, palm facing the brick. He sat there for a few seconds concentrating on the power, when suddenly three concentrated bolts of energy, much resembling oblong shaped stones, shot from his hand. They struck the brick, and the brick shot back, and shattered into pieces. He turned to Shea. "This is what I have learned to do thus far. There is one other thing. I can create a void around people that can completely drain them of the use of magic for a few seconds. It is the most energy draining thing I have riht now, and it would kill me to use it now. It only lasts for a few seconds, but it is there. I know I can learn more, and I have been experimenting with using both fire and this power at the same time. It is difficult, but with time, I believe that I can become even more powerful and skilled. I wish to use these powers for good as well, so I know I must be careful not to give into the cravings as my ancestors did. So... What do you think?" He smiled...

::Shea watched him first his concentration. The look upon his still hidden features that only Elven eyes could see. Then she watched him leaning there upon the tree as he leapt up back tot he roof of the inn, watching every move he made as he jumped from the inns roof top to the stables a few feet away then to the small forge like building that sat furhter behind the no name inn. Impressive. Then she watched him jump towards her where she stood at that oak tree. and watched him levitate there before her inches off the ground. She knew he wasnt done she would save all comments till the end.::

::Jade hues flickered to bright blue when Shea saw the fire, she had to control her urge to snuff said flames with her own new found deeper powers. Then watched as the fire balls he had summoned were tossed high above them then as they began to fall she heard him say not to worry, not that Shea would. Shed faced worse than anything most elemental pure or not would ever. She felt the shield rise around them and nodded rather impressed with his skills so far. Then she turned her attention to him, eyes glowing emerald jade green::

::She watched him she could sense his power was being to drain through him, this would be the last show for tonight at least on his part. Shea watched the energy those oblong shaped stones, that pure energy that few could master, or control. She watched the brick shatter in to pieces and nodded softly. Then listened as he explained the last skill he had learned:: It is a skill I know well :; after he had finished explaining how he could create a void around people that could completely drain them of the use of magic, she had felt that void before.::


You are right you must be careful, I am impressed by what I have seen your concentration had greatly improved. I think you've become very skilled. Learning more will make you more powerful, but as always it may come with a price. Now that you have shown me what you can do allow me to do the same, and also enlighten you with a story of what can become of you if this new found power over takes you :: Shea shifted off that tree and shifted that cloak to rest there hung upon branch. Shea had lost none of her sense of style though she wore looser clothing, and bore only her dagger as a weapon at the moment Shea still had that strong look to her, with child and all.::

Assadar

Date: 2007-09-27 00:37 EST
He was intrigued. He would love to here the story, and as always, there was no doubt that he would be impressed with Shea's power. Of course, he also knew that it was very elf-like for them to have a bit of show and tell. He was rather excited to see how much more powerful she had become. He could only wonder, as he looked to her stomach, what Adamina would be like as she grew in her own powers. He would have to wait and see. His grey eyes flickered to Shea, as he waited patiently to see what she was going to do.

::Shea smiled, though she wasnt as quick on her feet at the moment as she used to be,that would be quickly remided.The winds rose through her hair, with out a word with out even a deep breath her feet began to rise off the ground. It was something she could do before, but as he watched her he might see what he hadnt before, yes there they were upon her back wings..yes wings almost angelic like but with a fairy like sparkle and flare,they were there one moment and gone the next. ::

::Shea had changed, and she liked it. As the winds rose she again settled to the ground.:: Being with a man who isnt excatly human has given me a different outlook on who and what I am. I have embraced my wind magics and all that comes with it. :; hince the wings.::

::Her fingers then slowly graced her very roud stomach, and she closed her eyes.Suddenly flames rose all around her whipping like a wild fire gone mad.Indies the round fire Shea still stood for a moment then she was gone a flickering flash of light mixed with wind and the fire was gone too.Then from behind the tree vines rose int he shape of a chair and Shea was seated in that chair a orb of water floating in her palm.:: Time at home with my sisters and son has given me time to elarn more from them both. Edhel Ndor has many wonders. ;;The orb of water floated up and bursted in to thosands of tiny bubbles.:: For now that is all I am willing to show. ::Oh there was much more, but with Shea there was always more.:: Now please sit... :: another vine chair rose from the ground at a whim.:: My story is long so ye best be in comfort. :;Shea wasnt cokcy and wasnt about to take herself too far.It was time for the tale,but first she would hear if he had any comments::

Assadar

Date: 2007-09-27 01:57 EST
He watched as Shea moved with great ease through her ordeal. He smirked... A dubious smirk. Shea had learned much, and the wings were quite precarious. He watched as the chair rose out from the ground. He looked to the chair then back to her. He folded his arms, bowed a slight bow of thanks, then he sat. He relaxed a little as he sat. "Shea, as always, I am impressed with your powers. Although I am sure that you are more powerful than me, I can say that I am quite impressed with what you have learned. I am ready to here your tale now. It has been quite a long time since someone told me a story, but I am quite interested to here it." And with that, he quieted himself, and readied himself for the tale. She said it would be long, but growing up in Quel'Thalas, there were often tales that lasted days if not weeks. Not all at one, but some three four hours at a time. He was ready.

::A soft smile to that:; well thank you,I have had to 'quiet down' my usage of my powers but certain things come more naturally now than before . ::Shea then leaned din to that very nicely woven vine chair.::

On to my tale. Of what such power, this new found power could do to you if your not careful. ::Shea took a moment then began::After you told me about your battle with the chaotics and the core that you came in contact with it reminded me of something, so hence my tale. Back in Edhel Ndor many years ago there was a man, I do not know if I would consider him elvish human or something else. His name was Keir he was a very pure fire elemental, he took my mother and another woman captive in hopes to use the power of the wind mage, which they both were to fuel his fire and burn Edhel Ndor. My father and another man Lance stopped Keir but my mother died, and that day Keir died but his sprit remained very strong he cairned an orb on top of a stave and that day it rolled off and Lance touched it.. Lance became a different man infused with great power, great arcane power. Lance was over taken by the power the orb held. He became a different man, a man we came to know as Alaric. Alaric came in to the service of my father to teach my brother, but my father soon died and Alaric twisted my brothers already twisted mind. ::There wasnt a moment of thaose days Shea had forgotten, the days when Jinanlt was so twisted the fights with Alaric, her mothers and fathers deaths.A tint of sorrow shown in her eyes as she continued::



Many battles happened, but eventually my sister found that Alaric planned to use me and Keir had once wished to use my mother to burn all of Edhel Ndor. And he almost got his wish. He stole me from the battle field and took me tot he tallest peak near GreenStone and used my powers using that as you called it a void that sort of drains the person of magic, he used that upon me and drank in the wind powers and started to fuel the flames from under me. Only by a few very lucky things that happened am I alive and Alaric dead. :: Now she shifted her hands over her stomach , many graces and devine blessings thats he was alive, thanks to ehr sisters and many others::


Then last year at the winter fest when I went with Connar, I found that Alarms orb had not been destroyed. I went to destroy it, and did so facing off with something like you describes pure power, energy in a very solid form. After hearing of your tale, I think I know more about Chatoics than I first thought. I tell you this tale because I know what it is like to have a very deep link to elemental and arcane powers I also know what it is like to have them used against me for ill. You must be very careful with new powers. For if they over take you, you can be very sure that I will be among the ones to stop you should you go too far. :: Jade hues flickered. Shea wasn't bluffing.:: With that said, I think with the right training and given time you could master and learn more about your new powers :; the tale was done she had cut it short, but the basics were there.::

Assadar

Date: 2007-09-27 02:47 EST
As he listened to her tale, he stroked his chin. How interesting. He felt sorrow with her as she recalled her father and mother's deaths. He had only known his father. His mother had died at his birth. His father had died in battle alongside him. He knew only to well what it was like to lose parents. He felt her sorrow, and as she finished, he smiled at her remarks. "Shea, if I ever get out of control, I would hope that you would be the first to stop me. I thank you that you have much hope in me. I cannot push myself to much though. Although I am not as afraid as I was last time, the powers you trained me in before were elemental powers. I believe these to be elemental as well, but they are much more powerful, and my people have an addiction to the arcane. It will be much harder on me, but with the proper teacher, I believe I can do well. However, I do not expect you to train me at my whim, for that matter, I do not expect you to train me at all if you do not wish, after all, you are the pregnant one. However, if you do wish to, than I am your humble student." He bowed slightly at his last remark. Although he had matured through battle and other struggles since he last trained under Shea, as a Blood Elf, it was in his nature to be respectful, sometimes to the point of subservient to the teacher or master tha he trained under.

::Shea nodded with a soft smile then, still touched by his concern at the fact that she was with child, he had left it up to her. Would she train him? She took a moment looking across at him then rose slowly that vine chair then flowed back in to the earth from which it had come.::

You have grown, in power and wisdom in your time away. I can understand your fears, it is not only your kind that can become addicted to the arcane. But I will train you, as best I can. It takes much more out of me these days with Adamina on the way to do more complex spells, so I will only do what I can. Thing will have to be taken slowly. But I am willing to teach, you are a very good student. ::She then patted his shoulder as she passed to grab her cloak from the tree. She then tossed it on, and snuggled in to its warmth. Then she turned to face him again.::

But it is becoming increasing harder for me to will myself in to Rhydin. So I have a proposal for you. I will continue to come here when I can to this inn for training sesions,but as the date grows closer to my daughters birth I would like too avoid Rhydin as much as possible so, my proposal is this. If you would give me your word that you would never tell a soul, then I could allow you in to Edhel Ndor. To continue the training there. ::Shea had only ever shown one other the way to Edhel Ndor. That was Connar.Shea was wary as always but her instincts always served her well.:: If you gave me your word never to tell a soul how to get there, then I could allow it. :: Jade hues focused upon him now awaiting what he might say.::

His eyes slimmed as he thought of the proposal. This was something that clearly Shea had kept down for a long time. He thought of all of the possibilities. He was honored that she would trust him enough to divulge the information to him. He knew the commitment he would have to make, and he especially knew what it was to want to keep something secret. he pondered it for a few more minutes before speaking slowly and carefully. "Shea, I understand the trust that you must have for me in order to share this with me. I am honored. You are a great teacher, and I would not be in my right mind to take this opportunity." He bowed slightly again, and as he looked up, he said with great distinction in his voice "If you bestow upon me the honor of knowing how to get to Edhel Ndor, and anyone else ever finds a way there without you having told them, then may the Goddess of Elune take my life, that is if you do not first. Mia coia sa dost, Shea." The elvish would be the seal on his promise. He had given Shea control over his fate if ever he were to tell about this great secret.

::Shea nodded then, the words in elvish would indeed seal his fate, and he had sworn to a goddess. True a goddess that Shea did not know of but a goddess no less.:: sai quel' , I will take this oath you have given me andshow you the way in to Edhel Ndor myself. There are but two ways, one by the road tot he north of here, through the woods and over the plains then through the winding mountain pathway to the falqua, the pass in the mountains. :: The was a secret way to get in there, and she would show him that.:: But most magic users find it easier to will them sleves there. :: She then held out her hand:: I shall show you the easy way, and should you ever find your self having to ride or walk to Edhel Ndor it is four days ride from Rhydin hidden beyond the mountains, a secret to all here. There are only four others besides myself that can go from Rhydin to Edhel Ndor freely. Victor,Lord Alcar, Jade and Connar should he ever choose to again. ::she then held out her right gloved hand to him.::

Be assured that it will take a while for the people of Edhel Ndor to get used to you, they are not so used to outsiders. But should you ever go there and find your self in trouble,show this. :: She dug in to her cloak and pulled a coin, it was larger that the coinage of Rhydin, silver and rather elegant..She held it up between her fingers, one side was flat and smooth with elven words written in it. The front side had a lovely embossed dragon upon it, the dragon looked just like the one that adored the back of Sheas cloak, its its talons it held a shimmering bright blue-green gem. :: The symbol of GreenStone shall protect you for any attack that might be made upon you beacuse you are an outsider,and it will guide you safely should you come to find me. Edhel Ndor is vast and GreenStone is hard to find. But this gem will guide you. The coin is priceless,and can get you free room,board and food at any tavern, inn or castle in all of Edhel Ndor. ::She then handed it to him:; keep it safe. Now I shall show you the magic users way in, then later I will show you the harder way should you ever need to use it.

He reached out and took the coin. He brought it close to his face and rolled it around. It was exactly as she had described it. The coin was beautiful. it was the first gift anyone had given him here in Rhy'Din. He would treasure it for its sentimental value, but also the value of what it got him while in Edhel Ndor. He put it in his pocket. He would hold it there for now. However, he would would put it in something a little safer when he arrived back. He looked to Shea, and smiled a warming smile. "Thank you Shea. I shall treasure it dearly. I am ready now. Please... Show me the way."

:: Shea smiled and nodded and the winds whipped around them both ,Sheas jade hues glowed a virabnt blue for a few seconds then the winds would take them in to the falqua, the pass in the mountains. Shea chose to will them there,she ahd no horse to ride and was not in any condition to do so. There stood those many large trees that acted as a barrier from Rhydin. Shea shifted a bit and gazed to him to make sure the fast journey on the winds hadnt shaken him before she spoke.:: Beyond these trees lies Edhel Ndor to the South lies Rhydin far out of view.When one doesnt posses the magic to simply go in to the lands one must ride ehre or stop here on their way in.

::She pressed her gloved hand to the trees.:: Now remember these words, should you not be able to will yourself in to Edhel Ndor simply by magic this path may come in , ien amin tarna a' Edhel Ndor. Ed' tel Aman arwen en' me'a ar' Huine. :: The elven words flowed off of Shea tounge as if she had spoken them millions of times. The trees then parted and beyond lie a vast new realm. Shea walked between the trees the guardians of Edhel Ndor, she gave Assadar the nod to follow her. ::

He watched and listened. Shea had brought them to large grouping of trees. Although he had not been expecting it, he was interested to see what type of magic Shea had used to bring them there. He took in the words that she spoke. He would remember them in case he ever needed to get there quickly. He thought about traveling there someday by horseback, just to see the country side. As the trees parted, he almost could not take in the beauty all at once. He had only ever known Quel'Thalas. He had heard of other elven sanctuaries, but had never had the joy of visiting one. It was gorgeous. He almost forgot to follow Shea in, until he saw her nod. As he followed her in, he commented with a smile, "Shea, it is absolutely gorgeous. Again, I am honored." He nodded with reverence to the guards watching over the entrance as he followed Shea in. He would follow her wherever he needed at this point, but he would take everything else in as well.

::Shea smiled and walked on, through the trees that had parted for them and once Assadar stood beyond them they would close once more the world of Rhydin shut off. There was a wild open plain before them and the mountains continued around them to the west, waves splahed the white sand costline and spilled in toa river that ran deep in to the large forest that was just tot he north. There was a large castle along that cost line beyond the wild plains and trees of the forest.:: Thank you, It is a large place. You have come through at the far end.

::She motioned to the castle with her free hand.:: The Kingdom of SilverWaters. :: Beyond the castle lie another river and another forest and another kingdom, but even with elven sight Shea could not see that far, but she knew this land better than any other.:: The woods here are known as The Mith Woods, and our high counsel dwells within them. :: She turned to face him::

So I have shown you the long way in. The way any would take if they knew it well, but few do. There are six kingdoms and castles within Edhel Ndor. All allies and all rather large. To the North of here id GoldenVine, and Ruby Moon. To the east sits Amethyst Rose. North East of here sits Fairwinds and North of that through the Dark Enchanted Woods and over the mountains beyond the Valley of Dae lies my home Kingdom GreenStone. It is a lovely country side to pass on by horse or even foot if one has the time. It is peaceful, but does have its own sets of dangers. So now that I ahve shown you the longer way in, the easiest way would be to simply will ones self past the mountains and in tot he lands to any kingdom, town or village one might choose. Tis the magic uses way in, but only when one is welcome does such magic work. Tis way no one that has not been welcomed by someone here can enter, but there is one way outsiders can get in. :: It was a new way for outsiders to get in, and for those of the allied kingdoms to get other places.::


Portals links Edhel Ndor to Rhydn,Nosgoth ,Crendia and the Earlth realm. Tis why many here are wary of outsiders, tis also why I gave you that coin. It may save your life if you find your self held up by a group of archers.


:; Shea walked a bit more and took in the fresh clean air of home.:: Now that I ahve welcomed you your free to roam where you wish, though it can be dangerous with out a guide. ::The winds shifted around her brining in the smell of sea and wild trees.:: Now on to GreenStone, the quick way. Since that is where I am often found these days.

Assadar

He followed Shea, still in a bit of awe. It was absolutely beautiful. Next to Quel'Thalas, he truly believed it to be the most beautiful place he had ever been. He followed her pointing things out, and listened with great intent to everything she said. He was excited, and nervous all at the same time. He wanted to make a good impression upon Shea's kin. He did not wish for her to feel she had made a mistake in bringing him here. As she ended, he realized he probably would need some sort of guide... "Shea, could you by chance suggest a guide?" He was hoping she would say she would, but on the other hand, he did wish to meet some new people...

::A soft nod was given back:: well I would normally guide you myself but this land is best seen on horse back. And I at the moment can not ride, but I do have someone in mind. It just depends on what he says. :: Sheas smile did not wavor.:: But I can be a guide as well but walking takes much longer. ::The wind rose through the trees and whipped the far off flags on the towers of Silverwater castle.:: When we get to GreenStone I shall see if he's up for it. He should be around, though he's a busy young man these days. Now onward the quick way to GreenStone. ::The winds whipped up again and Shea would will them over the lands quickly using the winds to reach GreenStone.Much of the landscape below would go by ina blur before a huge castle was seen standing behind them, and a wide village before them, and then mountains:: Creoso, mellonamin a' CalenOndo :;That said with a soft smile to Assadar. Yes Shea did consiter him a friend.She didn't use that word lightly.:

That Shea would welcome him to GreenStone in Elvish, and on top of that call him friend. He was honored. He had no idea who would be taking him on his tour, but of course, he would never let Shea go if she was not up to it. "Shea, you have done a lot for me already. Please, take sometime to rest, and have the other that you speak og take me on the tour of Edhel Ndor. I always enjoy meeting new Elves, especially those who would call you friend."

::Shea smiled and was touched by his concern::Aye perhaps rest would be good for me.I would hope you'd be willing to meet other elves,I have a rtaher huge family . ::She gazed back to the castle.:: Let me just take you inside and see if I can find Aiden and see if he's willing to show you around. :; she gave him the nod to follow her as she went for the steps, she knew the castle was full of activity.:: Oh yes :: she paused at the door:: Before I let you see the mess that had become GreenStone Castle I must warn you, I am not the only woman with child, and it a running joke that its the water. :: a smirk:: But my eldest and younger sister are also with child as well as my sister in law. And ye may have to deal witha few... odd ones. But everyone here is an ally even Magus and Etten.. it can be a bit chaotic here sometimes,as of late

:: the doors then opened up and the long hall stood before them with the stairs sprialing up tot he left and the lounge to the right.It smelled of freshly bakes bread and other food. And int he lounge sat Aiden with his lovelt silver haired Mila and Vanya.Shea's neice sat in Aidens lap. Aiden turned his ehad over his shoulder feeling his mother enter the lounge. He looked like Shea, but different too. His hair was darker blue than her's his eyes a blue on blue gaze. He had a stoic look. He handed Vanya off to Mila and rose to greet his mother with a hug and his brows rose seeing Assadar. Shea was expecting Victor or one of ehr sietrs to walk in any moment.:: Aiden, Assadar

:; a hand to and from::Assadr my son Aiden, His fiancee' Mila :: a gesture to the lovely silver haired elf by the fire,whom nodded back:: And my niece Vanya :: a motion to the seven year old golden locked Vanya who bounced with a wave to Assadar as she sat in Mila's lap. ::

::Aiden gave a soft nod to Assadar:: Venui'

This was all new to him. His people did not live in castles. The council who ruled them did, but his people lived in houses. Although elaborately constructed houses, they were houses none the less. He had never known Elves to live in such extravagant castles. It was amazing. Then to hear that so many of the same family were pregnant at once. Shea really did have a large family. He was still taking it all in when he realized he had been introduced.

He looked to Mila, and nodded his head in a respectful manner that was due to someone of great respect. Then he smiled and waved to Vanya. What an adorable little Elf. As Aiden spoke, Assadar realized he did not recognize the dialect of Elvish he spoke. However, he bowed a deep bow of respect, and as he came up, he made eye contact and said with the most respectful tone he could muster "Tasada saes a' oment lle." As he finished, he smiled, which unfortunately, a deep respectful smile from a Blood Elf naturally looked sinister, but he did his best to make his intent known. He did not mean it to be.

::Shea smiled softly, she relized to most other elves Edhel Ndor was very different.The large castles were the royals lived, the citys and villages outside the castle where others lived.:: I know tis a lot to take in all at once. ::This to Assadar.:: But this is GreenStone Castle, my family lives here,at least some of them.


::Would Assadar now see that Shea was not just once a knight- but also one of royal blood. He might see the lovely painting that hung there against the wall in the stairway, of a elvish man strong and noble with silver hair, wearing noble armor and a woman she looked like Shea, her hair was dark blue her eyes a tone of blue green she wore a elegant green dress. And beside that painting hung another. The same couple the woman held a small babe in her arms and a girl with silver hair stood beside the man.It was a painting first of her father and mother then of them with herself and her elder sister. In the lounge to Assadars right he would see a mounted sword. The long blade shimmed in the room light, the long light and dark iron blade came to a fire symbol just before the curved cross bar, it tapered up just as his did and at the ends two black crystals, from the cross bar the handle made of ivory was segmented and held to look as one with a mithral ring, at the end of the ivory handle is another larger ring of mithral and on top sits an orb of mithral and iron. And above the sword hung another painting of a young man::

::. Shea cast ehr gaze to the painting, then back to Aiden.:: Utinu, I was wondering if you would do something for me?

::Aiden shifted his gaze from Assadar to his mother::Aye Atara anything.

I am weary and need a bit of rest, but Assadar here needs a guide, I know ye must have much on your plate with Mila. But I was wondering if ye would be as kind to show him around Edhel Ndor?

::Mila rose slowly with Vanya in her arms and crossed to the three, she kissed Aiden on the cheek and Vanya waved goodbye as Mila headed upstairs.::

::Aiden grinned to the kiss then nodded:: Yes Atara it would be my pleasure.

Thats my son :: Shea smiled and gave hima soft hug:: Well Assadar I leave you in my sons hands. He can tell you anything you need to know and is a very good guide. After a bit of rest I shall come find you both. ::She smiled to them both. Before turning and heading up stairs. ::

::Assadar might note the castle was very busy, servants rushed around with family getting ready for something. Aiden smirked at the chaos of the castle:: Well Lord Assadar :: being polite as he usually was:: What would you like to see first?

Many things had run through his mind all at once. He had long thought that there was something else to Shea. Now as he sat inside of her castle, and could truly see the Elf that she was, he was more than impressed. He looked and saw the paintings on the wall, the sword. He could hardly take it all in. Having been apart of the military class of Quel'Thalas, he had never known luxuries as he now saw before him. He had never known entire families to live together as they did here. Edhel Ndor was a new place, but he loved it. He loved every aspect of being able to take in a new Elvish culture. Being able to meet other Elves other than the Blood Elves. Realizing that Shea was actually of royalty was one of the greatest revelations of all. Who was the young man in the painting above the sword?

He was suddenly drawn once again to where he was. he returned the hug that Shea had given him. It was odd. In Blood Elves culture, hugs were not given out, except to family. It was not something that was done lightly. He wondered if Shea meant it as family, or if it meant something else to her entirely. He would save the question for later. For now, he accepted it. He was glad she was resting though. He had felt somewhat awful ever since he had summoned her, and found she was pregnant. His attention was drawn to Aiden.

Lord Assadar. That was a new one for him. A look of excitement and gratitude entered his face "Well Master Aiden, I am pleased that you would volunteer in this manner to show a new face around. I do not know much about Edhel Ndor, but I ask that you would show me the greatest places of interest. That is, if it is not to much to ask..." He waited for a response. He knew only what Shea had previously shown him, which was not much. He figured the tour guide should be able to help things along a little more.

::Aiden smiled softly, not used to being called master Aiden.Save sometimes by Kulbin.But he took in Assadars glacning around as a good sign there was lots to see and take in. New faces were more and more common, and he knew that if his mother showed this man in to Edhel Ndor that she trusted him to some degree.He then glaced tot hat paiting that hung in the lounge.Then back to Assadar::

There are many places of interest in Edhel Ndor.The first of many is this very castle. It was build by Alcander, and the name of GreenStone comes from the blue-green gem that Dae blessed to Adamina. Astalder was the first to rule here beyond the mountains, but the frist king was Alcander. ::a slow glance to the painting that hung in the stairwell.:: I am sure you have many questions, but before we get on with a wide tour of Edhel Ndor.It would be wise of me to tell you a little bit about it,and perhaps offer you something to eat or drink. :Aiden was well spoken, he got that from Shea.:: Then after I would be glad to show you to one of the places that many here love.
