Eliana Patience's page

Archaouss you can still hear the conversation going on inside unless someone is whispering.

With a blushing smile she waves back to Galacia.

"He has been here longer than me, I remember him way back when those story's frightened me in to not running away from home.....most of the time." She smiles."Now go quickly before he come's back. I do not know how long I can keep him here for you." a momentary show of worry appears on her face but soon fades into a smile as she waves you off.

As you all enter the street and begin to head to the temple you see Argius approaching just at the end of the street with 3 more people in purple cloaks. You all recognize the cloak as uniforms from the temple. The smell of burning from the mill is not as strong, the wind must of changed direction.

Are you all heading straight to the temple?

It is not a typo. *Note to self, better names!.

Eliana thinks for a moment. "That is the name of a God in an old children's tale. An evil foul and powerful god, one of the cruelest. Ruler of the 7th realm. Old Lore has it that he craves control of the mortal realm, and he achieves it by kidnapping children that stray to far from home and suppressing their memory of who they are and taking over their bodies forcing them to do evil things and therefor losing their soul to him, the more souls he has the more powerful he becomes"

She looks confused for a moment. "It is just a story designed to scare children from running away or going out alone at night. Why?"

"Mr Graves is the temple leader. He has visions of the future, they are not always good but they are almost always accurate. He keeps the town safe, though he has little power himself, he makes sure people are where they need to be when they need to be there. He was only responsible for the temple Orb and there is no way he is responsible for them disappearing. He is linked to the Gods just as the orbs are. He is very nice and will help you all he can, though he can be a little confusing or cryptic sometimes." She smiles and looks up as Archaouss moves.

"He will not be long Archauoss the temple is not that far. Krallek here take the orb back, please tell Graves what I have told you, it is injured and needs healing." She carefully passes the orb back to Krallek.

She speaks seriously, "You should go now and see Sandy...Mr Graves, while Argius will be busy here with me. I can give you as much time as possible before he returns to the temple. Please do not tell anyone in town that I am alive or I was in the Mill. I do not know who attacked me and I do not feel safe, especially if who ever it is finds out they did not finish the job."

Eliana blushes at Galacis's question. "My Graves and I are......just Good friends." She smiles as she says it. "I only know what I have been told and what I heard from people and I have seen them all at the ceremony. I can not explain it but I have always felt close to the orbs and Mr Graves." She smiles again and blushes once more.

"If he healed you then you should be ok. He has healed a lot of people just by touching them though I have seen him do horrible things to people by touching them. As my father used to say, 'A healer knows where it hurts."

Eliana takes the orb and carefully places it on her lap.

"Archaoss is right, they have great power and where a gift from the gods. Placed amongst us as a sign of trust." She speaks in a warning tone. "The orbs must be kept separate, together they are at their most powerful and most dangerous. The only reason to steal them is to use their power, what ever that power may be. Though you would have to know how to use them. For this town they are symbols, tokens of gods power and they bring goodness and light, without them we would..." The fear in her eyes begins to grow as she speaks and she turns to Carth as he asks his questions.

"I do not have an answer for you Carth, I do not know why. I am no more important than anyone in town. Argius does not like it, I am sure he wants me gone. Do not let him touch the orb, or any of you for that matter. All his power comes from touch. He frightens me, sometimes I see a look in his eye and...I am sorry, in short Mr Graves ordered Argius to protect me."

She lifts it up and points out the dark part in the middle of the orb, that is moving around. "There is something wrong with it, this should not be here. The orbs are supposed to be pure. I do not like it, it feels wrong it feels like the orb is injured. I am sure it has something to do with the person that attacked me, that horrid smile." She shudders again. "If only I could remember who it was."

Velana you hear Argius walking away, he does not wait by the door, he is moving very quickly.

You near the edge of town and Eliana points the way to her house. Down a long street to the left as you enter town. (Working on basic town map will be up on Monday hopefully, so you can use it for reference.)

Her home is a small building on the right hand side of the street. From the outside it looks like a 2 floored wooden structure same as most of the houses on the street. You enter straight in to a living room area. Eliana apologizes for the lack of seating for everyone but points out there are some padded cushions out for people and a few boxes in the back room. So they can get them and sit. She thinks for a moment then asks Argious to get some healers from the temple for her. Knowing full well he will have to do it.

Argius leave's as asked. He looks very dejected when he looks at Eliana and for a moment you see a hint of an emotion other than the anger and boredom you have seen from him thus far.

"Once I am up and around again I can get some food and drink for those that want some. I am sorry that you have met me like this I must seem so pathetic at the moment. Especially to a capable group like yourselves."

She turns to Krallek. "May I see the orb now? please"

Krallek, with a roll of 5 you are well aware the Argius is still with you, as to to his actions, well he isn't out right stabbing anyone.

Speaking to Krallek in common, "Thank you for allowing me to lean on you sir."

Eliana leans on Krallek and begins to walk, she is limping and moving slowly but is able to keep going. She turns to Krallek and whispers. "Please do not take the orb straight to the temple. I need to see it first."

She speaks to everyone, If you wish somewhere private to talk, my home is near the edge of town here, not too far. It is closer and more private than the temple would be."

"My home is near this end of town, we could go there." replying in Elven. She will take Archaouss's hand to help her stand up, though a little tentatively and leaning a lot on Archaouss to stay up. Wincing a little as her injured legs take the weight. She turns to Krallek and speaks in Common. "I do not need carrying but I would not mind a strong arm to lean on so I can walk."

"Please, I must see it. I understand it is not safe here but please It is important." She turns to Carth "You are not of the town so knowing who to trust is hard, it is hard enough for me and I live here, you have kept me alive so I think I can trust you, Please, please, please let me see it. I came here to search for it, I knew something was wrong, then 'He' attacked me and my memories are mixed up right now." She sighs "I know I am not making much sense, I came here knowing I had to do something and stop someone and now I cant remember, all I know is it has something to do with the that orb."

"My name is Eliana. Do not worry I have no plans to go into the wilds. I live in town, though I am not sure how safe I will be there..." As Velana mentions the orb she stops "Where is the orb? may I see it?"

As the girl speaks a large crashing sound can be heard coming from the mill and a plume of smoke leaves the building,a s what you suspect happens is the ceiling of the mill collapses in on itself.
