*** Joins: Llew_SilverHand
* Wenndolyne curtsies to Llew_SilverHand
<Wenndolyne> Hello Llew
* Llew_SilverHand walks in.. his head low and eyes glistening...
<Dwarin> Okay Llew, whats wrong?
* Wenndolyne thinks perhaps he has heard... about Poet
<Llew_SilverHand> Wenn?
<Wenndolyne> Aye, Llew
* Llew_SilverHand falls to his knees... and the tears pour down his cheek..
<Llew_SilverHand> No.
* Dwarin wonders if there is ever an eve' here in Camelot without a tragedy striking.
<Rannis> If there is, Dwarin, I'll buy ya an ale.
* Rannis smirks.
* Rannis twitches his tail.
<Llew_SilverHand> Why?
* Wenndolyne kneels before Llew
* Rannis looks at llew.
<Wenndolyne> I cannot know.
<Llew_SilverHand> What soul deserved life more than his?
<Wenndolyne> None, Llew, none I can think of.
* Wenndolyne 's own eyes begin to fill with tears for she was there when Poet was killed.
<Rannis> What???
<Rannis> Poet????
<Rannis> When????
<Rannis> Where??
<Rannis> Who???
<Rannis> How???
* Wenndolyne looks sadly to Rannis' questions
* Llew_SilverHand places his hands over his face as he weeps..
<Wenndolyne> In WolfKeep, last eve
* Rannis looks utterly amazed.
* Wenndolyne hugs Llew but continues the story to Rannis
<Wenndolyne> Poet knew of Simon's folly... for which he goes on trial on the 11th of this month I believe
* Sherini stays on the mantle and listen
<Rannis> Simon is going on trial?
<Wenndolyne> Poet, in a sense, betrayed Simon's trust
* Rannis twitches his tail, listens.
<Wenndolyne> He went to Lancelot and AC
<Wenndolyne> He told what Simon had told him of the incident
<Wenndolyne> It had to be done
<Nikita_Silverfyre> No! Not Poet!
<Wenndolyne> Yet... Simon was upset
<Wenndolyne> And Simon....
* Dwarin takes another quaff from his tankard.
<Wenndolyne> Simon has very powerful magic
<Wenndolyne> But, he is only 7 yrs old and cannot master it
<Wenndolyne> so last eve, in WolfKeep
<Wenndolyne> when Simon and Poet met for the first time since Poet's telling
* Wenndolyne swallows hard
<Wenndolyne> Simon's magic lashed out at Poet
<Wenndolyne> A child's anger you understand
<Wenndolyne> nothing more... but from Simon.... deadly
* Rannis shakes his head slowly, "That happened all too often in Khir Khira.. that's why the Khiranseth Magi Academy was started... "
<Wenndolyne> The force bolt threw Poet nearly 100 feet across the Keep's great hall
* Dwarin gawks.
* Sherini eeps
<Wenndolyne> Lord Wolf tried...
<Wenndolyne> he tried to stop it
<Dwarin> Remind me to never, ever piss Simon off.
<Rannis> Power like that.. can only be controlled or destroyed.
<Wenndolyne> Aye
<Dwarin> Admiral Cartwright has sent hunters and mages out after Simon apparently.
<Wenndolyne> ANd for now... neither is being done... till the trial
<Nikita_Silverfyre> What is Simon?
<Dwarin> Maybe even demon hunters in case Simon is possessed.
<Wenndolyne> A 7 yr old boy
<Llew_SilverHand> But Poet...
<Wenndolyne> but with a very dangerous talent
* Dwarin sighs deeply and shakes his head.
<Nikita_Silverfyre> what power doth he posess?
* Sherini blinks her tears away
<Rannis> Why did no one come to me? I have seen this thing often.. I have even taught at the Magi Academy briefly..
<Llew_SilverHand> But What of POET???!!
<Wenndolyne> Wolf and I tried to get AC to put Simon in our care
<Llew_SilverHand> Where is his body?
*** Joins: Morninglord
* Wenndolyne hesitates at this question
<Wenndolyne> Well... Poet's... final disposition
<Wenndolyne> is difficult to explain
* Dwarin shrugs as he never really was all the fond of magic anyways.
<Morninglord> hello everyone
<Nikita_Silverfyre> ((ehum, so what is Poet to do?))
<Wenndolyne> Poet is, indeed, gone
<Llew_SilverHand> Where is his body?
<Dwarin> No offense Rannis, but I grew up in a magocracy as a warrior-slave. After that my opinion of magic has been a little soured.
* Wenndolyne looks to Llew
<Wenndolyne> In a place where time does not march
<Wenndolyne> A land called Lyric
<Llew_SilverHand> WHERE!?
<Wenndolyne> Lord Wolf sent his body there
<Llew_SilverHand> How do I get there?
<Wenndolyne> You cannot
<Wenndolyne> It is sealed away
<Wenndolyne> Only Lord Wolf can get there
<Wenndolyne> for it is he who made the place
* Wenndolyne takes a deep breath
<Wenndolyne> But
<Llew_SilverHand> Then where may I find this Lord Wolf?
<Wenndolyne> I hold out hope
<Wenndolyne> that somehow...
* Wenndolyne shakes her head
* Rannis twitches his tail.
<Wenndolyne> No, I cannot give thee false hope for I know so little of it
<Rannis> Wenn... I wish you hadn't told me this..
<Wenndolyne> Lyric is the best place and only hope for Poet though... if there is any... it can be had there
<Wenndolyne> Rannis... I was sworn to secrecy
* Morninglord walks to Wenn and puts a comforting hand on his sis' shoulder
<Rannis> As a member of the Circle.. it is my duty to contain or destroy such threats to life...
<Wenndolyne> But now... it is out in the public mind
<Nikita_Silverfyre> Hm...I have an Idea...
<Wenndolyne> The Paladin, Admiral Cartwright insists that Simon be justly tried
<Wenndolyne> and if convicted
<Wenndolyne> hanged
<Wenndolyne> as is Camelot's law
<Sherini> *gleep*
<Nikita_Silverfyre> hanged, oh great fun...
<Dwarin> Umm.. Wenndolyne.. Admiral Cartwright has sent out hunters and mages to bring back Simon, dead or alive.
<Nikita_Silverfyre> There's gonna be a hangin
<Nikita_Silverfyre> There's gonna be a hangin
<Wenndolyne> Oh
<Wenndolyne> then perhaps... his anger has blurred his vision of justice
<Nikita_Silverfyre> Has anyone found simon?
*** Quits: Rannis (Connection reset by peer.)
<Dwarin> He ordered that earlier today after LadyBrightMoon informed the Admiral of what happened.
<Wenndolyne> Nae, he....
<Dwarin> the Admiral has disowned his son.
* Wenndolyne realizes she cannot say
* Llew_SilverHand stands... his head down but his eyes burn forward in anger...
*** Joins: Rannis
* Rannis .4reappears in a gathering flash of white lights.
<Wenndolyne> Simon cannot be found at this time
<Sherini> :<
* Wenndolyne stands but weakly
<Nikita_Silverfyre> this is nae good...
<Rannis> Wenndolyne.. as a member of the Circle..
* Morninglord helps Wenn to her feet
<Wenndolyne> Aye Rannis?
* Llew_SilverHand stands up...
<Rannis> You know I don't wish to harm Simon...
* Wenndolyne nods thanks to Lord of Morning
<Rannis> But... as a member of the Circle.... My duty..
<Rannis> Lies in containing or destroying such threats.
* Morninglord smiles weakly
<Nikita_Silverfyre> hrm...
<Nikita_Silverfyre> I could..
<Nikita_Silverfyre> no..
<Wenndolyne> Lord Wolf sees his duty thus as well.... Perhaps the two of you can devise something
<Dwarin> Nikita?
<Wenndolyne> I could not bear to see the child destroyed
<Rannis> I hope it doesn't come to destroying him... He is so young..
<Rannis> But if there is no other way..
* Wenndolyne slumps into a chair at the thought
<Nikita_Silverfyre> Hm Dwarin?
<Dwarin> There is always another way.
<Dwarin> You had an idea?
<Morninglord> Rannis if I may...he's a child...find and hold him but...destruction is Final
<Nikita_Silverfyre> Yes, I know another way he would be safe...
<Dwarin> ?
<Nikita_Silverfyre> But, he may be too young...
<Rannis> Rest assured, I will try to contain him first..
<Wenndolyne> Lord Wolf mayhap can remove the... talent... from him.... but
* Llew_SilverHand 's anger again melts away as the tears fall again, as his body starts to shake from weeping...
<Morninglord> thank ye greatly
<Llew_SilverHand> Wenndolyne, what am I too do?
<Wenndolyne> It may steal the child's mind as well
<Wenndolyne> I know not Llew
<Nikita_Silverfyre> You realize I am Queen of the Celestal, or Star, Fae...I could make him a star...
<Wenndolyne> for I cannot decide justly where Simon is concerned
<Nikita_Silverfyre> But, he may be too young...
<Wenndolyne> But I want him as a child
<Rannis> Wenndolyne.. back home.. back on Khir Khira.. the Khiranseth Magi Academy seeks out rogue youths such as Simon.. takes them.. and trains them to use their powers.
* Dwarin nods.
<Nikita_Silverfyre> Hrm...
<Wenndolyne> And he would then be sent away?
* Sherini is glad that she's just a mouse and nothing more
<Nikita_Silverfyre> Well, he'd be here, but in fae form...
<Dwarin> Simon needs to learn control. At least, I hope that is all he needs..
*** Morninglord is now known as Neocount
<Wenndolyne> I hope the same Dwarin
<Rannis> Perhaps, Wenn. If he can be contained. Perhaps we could merely arrange for a Circle member to visit him, give him private instruction..
<Wenndolyne> I want this whole matter to be put to rest... I want to see the happy face of a 7 yr old... and... and Poet's face again
<Wenndolyne> How we get here from there... I know not
*** Wenndolyne sets mode: +o Sherini
* Nikita_Silverfyre shifts into the form of a star... [Rannis SOUND]
* Wenndolyne is now crying into her hands
<Nikita_Silverfyre> It is time for me to go...
* Rannis nods, "Farewell then, Niki."
* Neocount tries to comfort his sister
*** Nikita_Silverfyre is now known as Nikita_in_the_stars
<Rannis> May the Circle guide and protect you.
* Wenndolyne mutters their names, both Poet and Simon... seem lost to her
* Rannis twitches his tail.
* Dwarin squeezes Wenndolyne's shoulder gently.
* Llew_SilverHand looks up... Is there not a soul that grieves at this loss? Oh, God... if there was one favour... one thing I would ask you... Please take me and bring him back...
<Dwarin> Wenn'.. Dont lose hope.
* Neocount "it'll work out Wenn, it has to"
* Wenndolyne looks up, wipes tears from her face, tries to still the tide in her heart
<Wenndolyne> I do thank all of you for your kindness
<Wenndolyne> And Poet too... would want you to know
<Wenndolyne> His last words to Simon
<Wenndolyne> Poet asked Simon to forgive himself
<Wenndolyne> for he knew Simon did not have control over what he did
<Llew_SilverHand> Wenn...
<Llew_SilverHand> I don't..
<Llew_SilverHand> I can't...
* Wenndolyne looks to Llew
<Wenndolyne> Cannot what?
<Llew_SilverHand> I can't Wenn...
<Llew_SilverHand> I need Poet...
*** Quits: Dwarin (Leaving.)
<Wenndolyne> As do many of us... even I... I miss him greatly...
* Rannis twitches his tail,
<Wenndolyne> But I cannot change what has happened
<Wenndolyne> I heard a poem once
* Rannis twitches his tail.
<Wenndolyne> "Though my feet will want to march to where you are sleeping....
<Wenndolyne> I shall go on living"
<Wenndolyne> And that we must do
<Wenndolyne> For Poet's sake for he would have wanted exactly that.
<Rannis> ((for poets sake? let's examine that for a minute. 'for poets sake!' 'for poets -=sake=-' 'for pete's sake!' oops. typo?))
* Wenndolyne playfully thwacks Rannis with a wet noodle.
* Rannis bats at the noodle.
<Wenndolyne> ((well, we're kind of outta drama again))
<Wenndolyne> :)
<Wenndolyne> ((and my fingers are worn out))
* Rannis twitches his tail, "Wenn.. i am sorry.. for what I may have to do if Simon gets out of control, and he cannot be contained... it is my duty.. I must leave now, and tell Charit of these happenings. He will wish to join in the search, as well."
<Llew_SilverHand> Wenn... If you see BlackHawke... If anyone sees BlackHawke tell him that I miss him. Please.
<Wenndolyne> Aye, Llew
<Sherini> will do llew
<Wenndolyne> Rannis... if you circumvent Camelot justice
<Wenndolyne> you may have your own problems
* Rannis smirks.
<Rannis> There is a higher justice than Camelot.
<Rannis> Called 'Universal'
<Wenndolyne> I know... but you are a citizen here
<Rannis> A rogue mage spells (pardon the pun) disaster for everyone involved.
<Wenndolyne> and do you not obey local customs?
<Rannis> I obey local customs, but I obey Circle Law, above all else.
* Neocount "...justice is not law"
<Rannis> The Circle overrides.
<Wenndolyne> Well, then of course Rannis you will do what you must...
<Wenndolyne> but I pray thee... give the child a good hearing... he has not even been fully tested yet
<Wenndolyne> to know what his powers are
<Rannis> I will do what I swore to do the very moment I joined the Circle.. uphold the teachings, beliefs, and laws of the Circle.
<Wenndolyne> Aye, I do understand duty and honor
<Wenndolyne> I also understand my love for the child
<Rannis> I am always fair. And I wish nothing bad for Simon, as well. You know that.
*** Quits: Sherini (Ping timeout.)
* Wenndolyne nods and smiles weakly to Rannis
<Wenndolyne> Yes... I do actually
<Neocount> Wenn...Rannis knows that "duty is heavier than a mountain" and he will make the right choice... eh Rannis
<Neocount> :)
<Rannis> Aye.
<Wenndolyne> My heart is as heavy... I know that much
* Wenndolyne sighs heavily
*** Joins: Sherini
<Rannis> Wenndolyne, I am sure that he can be contained. In that case, the worst that will happen is 20 years of instruction in control, and magic.
*** Wenndolyne sets mode: +o Sherini
<Sherini> grrr
<Mithrandir> a wild mage, Rannis?
* Wenndolyne ties Sheri's little mouse tail to a post so she cannot slip from Camelot again
* Rannis nods, "Aye. A mage who killed Sir Poet on a temper tantrum."
* Sherini giggles at wenn
<Wenndolyne> But a boy... He's just a boy....
<Mithrandir> temper tantrum?
<Llew_SilverHand> Fare well, my Friends... I do hope to see you all again.
<Rannis> A mage with fully developed powers, who killed a human being.
* Mithrandir scowls
<Wenndolyne> with the face of a small angel... and a heart as pure... I know it
<Mithrandir> I was never put on trial.. and I killed more than one man out of anger
<Rannis> A mage with fully developed powers who cannot control them, and who is a very high risk to repeat what has already happened.
* Wenndolyne nods sadly
* Neocount gets Wenn and anyone who wants something to drink what theyd like "here Wenn..."
<Wenndolyne> He has in fact done it twice now
<Wenndolyne> Thank you Neocount
<Rannis> What happened the first time?
<Wenndolyne> He and his sister Rosie were being chased by someone
<Wenndolyne> a bad man is all Simon knows him by
<Wenndolyne> the man made to hurt Rosie, tossed her aside and then came for Simon
<Wenndolyne> and then... Simon's magic... lashed out
<Wenndolyne> much like... Poet.... he was crushed by it
* Llew_SilverHand turns, trying to retain his composure but the tears storm to break down the pride and crumble this man to nothing... Llew continues to walk out the door
<Wenndolyne> Or so Simon tells it as much as he knows
<Rannis> Help should have been obtained when knowledge first came of his powers. They are far too dangerous to be left uncontrolled.
*** Parts: Llew_SilverHand
<Wenndolyne> I agree
<Wenndolyne> Lord Wolf agrees
<Rannis> The Circle would agree.
<Neocount> i agree
<Wenndolyne> But AC, Lance, they are accustomed to mundane justice
<Wenndolyne> and that is the route they chose
<Neocount> the damage is done..now we must see to it that with all our power that we can help Simon
<Rannis> Justice that won't solve a thing. Such justice as they will give him will resort to, at the worst, death. At the least, imprisonment. That is wrong. He is a child. A misunderstood child with powers he himself cannot understand. He needs to be taught, wenndolyne. He needs to learn how to control those powers.. not disposed of.
*** Quits: Nikita_in_the_stars (Ping timeout.)
<Wenndolyne> Yes!
<Wenndolyne> Yes I whole heartedly agree
<Neocount> it will stain us all if they continue down this path
<Wenndolyne> Rannis I do wish you could speak with Wolf on this...
<Rannis> I will, I suppose, eventually speak with him.
<Wenndolyne> I have heard those very same words from him
<Wenndolyne> We cannot wait for eventualities
<Wenndolyne> If Simon is found...
* Wenndolyne shakes her head
<Wenndolyne> If he is found by the wrong parties
<Neocount> the longer the wait the worse it will be
<Mithrandir> then he will be killed, most likely
* Wenndolyne swallows and can speak no more for just a moment....
<Neocount> mock justice...it cannot be allowed
* Rannis sighs, "All this lad needs is some instruction, and knowledge about his powers."
*** Joins: Nikita_in_the_stars
<Rannis> I would gladly offer my time, and my knowledge, in aiding Simon, if ever he is found.
* Wenndolyne nods
*** Joins: Nightwings
<Neocount> Rannis...everyone...i do not mean to interfere but Wolf and Wenn are brother and sister to me and Camelot my new home...I cannot sit back on this
* Nikita_in_the_stars wavs as she goes back into the skies...
<Nightwings> greetings
<Wenndolyne> I thank you Rannis... and if I have my way... there will be just that opportunity
* Wenndolyne stands, heart-weary "I can think no more on this... not here. I must retire to the Keep"
* Rannis nods, "Sleep well, Wenn."
* Wenndolyne walks without joy to the doorway
* Rannis twitches his tail.
<Wenndolyne> I doubt I shall... but I thank you Rannis
