2009-10-22 [Lirerial]: *Aedan stood staring into the spring, there was a small splash and he leaned closer to the water. The water erupted and spray flew everywhere when it cleared everything was still and Aedan was gone*

2009-10-23 [Fearathress]: *Fearathress and Eagle Eye stood a few yards away from the spring and looked around bow at the ready.*

2009-10-23 [Fearathress]: (they are wooden arrows)

2009-10-23 [Lirerial]: *There was no sign of any violence, although the foliage dripped with water, and the water lapped gently against the bank*

2009-10-24 [Fearathress]: What on earth? *Fearathress said as she carfuly and alterly made her way to the bank looking for some sign of an animal as Eagle Eye flew over the spring.*

2009-10-24 [Lirerial]: An elf *femnine voice whispered in surprise* Sister, look she's different from the human! What is that on her shoulder? *the voice continued and a strange sense seemed to vibrate through the air*
It is an eagle, Nala. *Another slightly deeper voice spoke. The voices seemed to come from all around her but rose and fell with each small wave on the pool*

2009-10-24 [Fearathress]: *Fearathress rasied an eyebrow sending out a soft whistle which made Eagle Eye return and land on her left shoulder.* Who is it that speaks? I come in peace and mean no harm. *Fearathress asked in a soft tone.*

2009-10-24 [Lirerial]: We are ourselves. *The voices answered in unison* Who are you?

2009-10-24 [Fearathress]: I am a ranger. Once that has sworn to protect this forest. Would you have happened to have seen a human about yay big *puts hand up to describe Aedan's hight.*?

2009-10-24 [Lirerial]: Seya has taken him... she wanted him... why do you search for him? *The voices chorused in unison once more*

2009-10-25 [Fearathress]: Just need to speak with him is all. Who is Seya? *Fearathress asked lowering her bow and unlatching two of the three arrows placing them in the quiver.*

2009-10-25 [Lirerial]: Our sister, a stubborn one. Always doing what she wants, not listening to the Mother. *The voices said softly and ripples started to form from the center of the pool* Put away your weapons mortal, we shall not harm you. The deeper voice said, and red scales flashed in the dusk*

2009-10-25 [Fearathress]: *Fearathress hesitenly put the last arrow in her quiver sholdering her bow.* Are you dragons?

2009-10-25 [Lirerial]: *The older voice answered* No, the race is young and foolish. we've nothing to do with them... We are called the Naeds

2009-10-25 [Fearathress]: *Fearathress raised an eyebrow.* What is a Naed? It is not something I am familiar with.

2009-10-25 [Lirerial]: We are the First and the Last *The voices chroused and the water boiled as a head appeared on the opposite end of the pool. She had long, black hair that hung in wet vines down to the water and floated gently. Her skin was pale and grey-ish sprinkled with crimson scales, her eyes were milky orbs and her cheeks were split to reveal a large gaping mouth full of razor sharp teeth*

2009-10-25 [Fearathress]: *fearathress unsholdered her bow and took a seat on the bank placing it in her lap.* So you are niether a god nor mortal? *Fearathress asked as her bird landed next to her cocking its' head at female.*

2009-10-27 [Lirerial]: *The Naed nodded* We are what we will. *So saying the Naed seemed to blur and then Featheress was staring at a exact copy of herself. We are anything and everything. *She spoke and stared deep into Featheress's eyes*

2009-10-27 [Fearathress]: So a shapeshifter? *Fearathress said not being able to break eye contact.*

2009-10-27 [Lirerial]: yes, shapeshifters, Shadows, dragons... we are are everything. *Featheress could feel that these were extremely old and power radiated around her.*

2009-10-27 [Lirerial]: We have not kept to ourselves. We are teachers, and defenders. The creations of the gods we have watched and cared for. The dragons gained their wings through us; The Wolves became guardians with our teachings, and you Elf, your race would still be cowering away from the rustling of leaves

2009-10-27 [Fearathress]: But you do not walk freely upon the world. I don't mean to insult you, just trying to understand.

2009-10-27 [Lirerial]: We have retired to our oceans, are beautiful caverns. Away from your foolish wars. Our Wolves grew old, and developed their own way of life, abandoning our teachings and forgot us. The Dragons have long ago went to sleep. Your human called us and awakened us.

2009-10-27 [Fearathress]: Yes, your wolves as you called them have come back to reek havoic on our world; killing innocents.

2009-10-27 [Lirerial]: We are not their mothers. Why should we do anything to help your ungrateful race?

2009-10-27 [Fearathress]: Some of us are not ungreatful, just neive of all that is around us, but that is not our fault but that of our mothers and fathers. As a great and noble race what would be left for you to thrive, your history to be rembered, and the restoration of knowledge that has been lost so long that everyone person, animal, living thing should know. By helping us we can plant that seed once more and nurture it so history is never lost.

2009-10-27 [Lirerial]: *They fell silent for a moment and then the one who stayed above water nodded slightly* We will not come above land, at least not right now. I will give you this advice. There are three pieces of the puzzle, you have two within your grasp and the third lies with the Wolves, bring them together and see what happens

2009-10-27 [Lirerial]: (kk))

2009-10-27 [Fearathress]: What is it we need to look for?

2009-10-27 [Lirerial]: Use your mind

2009-10-27 [Fearathress]: *Fearathress raised an eyebrow.* Great now everthing is incripted. *She thought.* Alright. Can I have the human back?

2009-10-27 [Lirerial]: No. He will remain with us for a while longer. He has awakened us and so will do what he originally planned.

2009-10-27 [Fearathress]: Um ok? Can i at least talk to him?

2009-10-27 [Lirerial]: He is gone

2009-10-27 [Fearathress]: Hmm alright. Any idea when we will get him back?

2009-10-27 [Lirerial]: He is talking to our queen. We will return him when his audience is over

2009-10-27 [Fearathress]: Alright. Well if there isn't anything I can do for you I will take my leave.

2009-10-27 [Lirerial]: *The Naed said nothing, instead turning and diving back into the water*

2009-10-28 [Fearathress]: *Fearathress nodded and stood up and took her leave as she placed her bow over her sholder once more.*
