A Calling Of Druids

[~ Fiend ~ 611]

Isabella flinches slightly, eyes fluttering open at his shout. She reaches over his shoulder, lightly patting his head and muttering something to him, most likely words of comfort as she closes her eyes again, maintaining her poker face with a slight cringe.

[Birdwhisperer 1174]

Elorna's brow furrows in confused concern as she glances between Ouity and Isabella, then hardens again as Ouity raises his voice. She lets out a quiet huff and settles back in her seat. "Due to past experiences, I'll refrain from commenting about your word... certainly if it is such a troubling matter, your brothers and sisters should be welcome help. I honestly cannot see why you would need to keep something so important a secret."

[Wolf Druid Ouity 1461]

Ouity's eyes soften a bit as he looks to Elorna, hugging the stoic Izzy close to him. "It's best if this stays small scale- I might be able to explain when w-... I get the stone back, but for now, the less you know, the less likely someone gets hurt." Ouity's eyes flash to Isabella as he says this, again, a look of concern dominating his features. "Suffice to say that it is under control." He says crisply. His gaze shifts back to Elorna's and now holds a note of apology to it. "I'm sorry." He rumbles, his voice carrying meaningful undertones. "Sometimes secrets have to be kept."

[Birdwhisperer 1174]

Elorna sighs, not quite looking convinced, though she nods once to Ouity. "Very well, for now. Can you at least say if it is or isn't with the Mali'aheral?"

[Wolf Druid Ouity 1461]

"Errr, to be honest, I'm not all that sure." Ouity shrugs in apology. "All I have is a trustworthy guide to my destination, they cannot reveal its location to me until we're there. As I said, trust is a factor here." He says wryly.

[Birdwhisperer 1174]

"Mmm..." Elorna murmers to herself, still looking uncertain. Finally, she sighs. "Well, perhaps you could speak more on it in private...  now what's this about two other stones? Wouldn't there be one other, for Cernunnos?"

[Major Dom 1297]

Eldon stumbles towards the other druids in a drunken stupor. "Anyone go' somethin' ter drink? Oi'm *hic* parched..." He collapses into the grass and hoists himself up on one elbow to listen to the discussions.

[__WaterFox__ 636]

"This sounds like a shady deal, Ouity.... It would be a wise descision to have me or some other fighters stay with you"

*An Albatross Carrying a small bound book swoops in from the sky. It sits watching the motions of the Elder Druids.

[Old-Rattlesnake 1534]

Verden stands to retrieve the bound note from the albatross and read it aloud to the moot-goers.

*A single page lays within.

 

"Things lost too the flow of time may be easily found to those who ask the right questions, Three brothers live in Tree ages, The past may provide you a glimpse at history, The present a clue to the future, and the future things lost that may be found."

 

*Attached to the bottom of the page is a single blossom.

 

((The note appears to be recently written, with a steady hand that has seen decades of use.))

[Old-Rattlesnake 1534]

Verden looks up from the note as he finishes reading it. "...Why does everything have to be cryptic nonsense?" He sighs and rubs his temples, "Can anyone make sense of it?"

[domainoft 191]

((Because secret code would be too easy for you.))

[__WaterFox__ 636]

"Would you mind letting me see the note... Might be my kind of a riddle"

[Old-Rattlesnake 1534]

Verden passes the note down to Alirya. "Oh, forgot to mention the pretty flower it came with." He turns, passing the blossom down to Callax. "See if you can grow a new stem on it. It would look quite lovely in the garden."
