::Telepathic gasps of disbeleif rolls past the party,
noticed by those who had a chance to listen::

Gelina Grey: ::Pushing herself to her hands and knees growling, she gets up once more and lets the last of her energy loose::

Aiden Raa Corm: ::Though hurt, the lion goes to Lina, sending healing to her::

TheMaggie: ::Catches Lina::

::There was a disgusting gurgle, then the sack of inky
void essance would lose all cohesion and sink into a massive puddle that quickly evaporates, but not before destroying everyone's shoes and scorching their feet.::

Gelina Grey: ::Feels some of her energy being restored by Aiden and looks up at Mags:: Did it work?

TheMaggie: ::Nods:: You put it over the edge.

Nicho TGM: ::Ok, now he is pissed, those were his favorite boots::

::Immediately, the three genies reappear, each with
weapons drawn, though it seems more for show than for action:: ~Who are you people!?!~
~Who are you..really?~

Gelina Grey: ::takes a deep breath:: Good...::stands holding onto Mags, turning to look at them::

::Almost seemed less worked up than his brother and
sister, but was still unsettled:: ~You see...we have a little problem here...~

Gelina Grey: What problem?

~Hsarnates cannot be killed~

Nicho TGM: ¤ I told you, we are the people of GoldenMyst, a land to be revered and feared. ¤ ::Once more, his voice echoes in their minds like a
god::

::All three cringe::

TheMaggie: ::Takes a deep breath, letting Lina lean on her and putting one hand on Aiden. Both of them got a burst of healing::

Nicho TGM: ¤ They can and they were. ¤

TheMaggie: We are those not to be underestimated. We are the orphans of the land.

Gelina Grey: ::Feeling much better she stands on her own two feet and kisses Mags on the cheek::

~...I see...~ ::Didn't have much to say to Nicho that
would leave his own ego intact::

TheMaggie: What was not possible has become reality. We fought the battle you were afraid to fight...

~You!~ ::A glare at Maggie::

Gelina Grey: ::Is standing right next to Maggie::

TheMaggie: We were unwitting mercenaries. Now, we have done your dirty work, I believe that payment is in order.....

Nicho TGM: Aye, we now expect payment... where is the Somnambulus?

~..oh! Ha! And now they are revealed to have learned nothing!~ ::Rolling his eyes with a sneer, once again privvy to the untold joke::

Nicho TGM: ::Absently notices that the three prisoners they had brought with them are now dead::

::The genies noticed, but didn't really care about the
captives to start with::

Nicho TGM: I am tired of thy blathering. ::A blast of Magefyre scores the genies::

~For a moment I thought I may have actually met some pure Men~ ::He leaps back, the hem of his silken garment sizzling::

TheMaggie: Pure?

Gelina Grey: You expected purity?

~Hsarnate can only be harmed by the mythological Pure Men, but none exist anywhere on Orpheus.~ ::Wary of that fire, he takes another step back::

Gelina Grey: Wait... But we did harm it...

Rob87DM: ::Is hopping around, trying to keep his paws intact::

~Yes...so I guess the legend is wrong...~

TheMaggie: Legends in reality are hardly more than bedtime stories... The true hero is someone who does something selflessly for another. Before you stand men and women who came to help another. We gain nothing.

::The genie just stutters at Maggie:: ~Fine!~

Aiden Raa Corm: ::Aiden will step over to Katrina, bathing her with his rough tongue, healing her while the others argue::

_{OnlineHost: Aiden Raa Corm rolled 2 34-sided dice: 7 16

TheMaggie: Is that not the essence of purity? Our intent was pure.

Gelina Grey: ::She laughs seeing that Mags got them logically::

::The pull of the void had subsided slightly, though there was still another aura much like that of the Hsarnate, and it was nearby::

TheMaggie: We defeated the greed of man because we fought it with purity.

~And yet you ask for what does not belong to you. Huh.~

Nicho TGM: It belongs to this one. ::indicating Kolava::

TheMaggie: I ask for what helps one of ours.

~Fine, claim your prize!!~ ::he reaches into his inner
pocket and that void aura would grow stronger, undoubtedly in his position::

TheMaggie: You thought to get rid of us. That we would be defeated, yet no matter who won, you would win. ::Stepping forward, extending her hand:: Perhaps you would like a kiss.

Nicho TGM: ::Chuckles at Maggie's threat.::

::He opens his palm to reveal a symbol, the one very
similar to the one on the Hsarnate; it was carved in glowing silver strands and pulsed with the same consuming void essance::

Aiden Raa Corm: ::The lion steps forward with Maggie, encouraging her::

~I don't know what you'll use it for, but, frankly...I
don't care anymore~ ::he had been embarassed and wanted nothing more to do with these strangers. He opened his hand further to reveal the blue silk that
the symbol was fused into::

TheMaggie: ::In truth she had come to be with her son and as a favor to her niece. Her hand was still extended::

Gelina Grey: ::Not understanding the symbol but seeing Kolava's bandana::

::He drops the bandanna into Maggies hands then turns, digusted, and moves to the other two::

TheMaggie: ::Caught it and stepped to the rear of the group::

Nicho TGM: ¤ Be warned, ye have but met seven of us. Do ye again intrude into our lands, the full might of GoldenMyst shall come to bear against thee ¤

::Facing away from the boy shaking with embarassed rage , he speaks in a low tone:: Merieal hrasi....ielk fanutason. ::Quickly translating:: ~You aren't welcome here either.~

Gelina Grey: ::Watches the genie:: So be it.

TheMaggie: :Over her shoulder:: Then we have an accord.

Nicho TGM: ::With that he turns, releasing the magical lock on the nexus and motions the others through.::

::She gives them scared looks, but most of all her eyes follow the blue slip of silk::

TheMaggie: ::She looked to the female and glared::

Nicho TGM: ::He stares at the genies, waiting to be the last one, destroying the nexus behind him as he passes through.::

And thus is Kolava reunited with the Somnambulus that allows him to function as a reasoning creature rather than one of pure instinct. The party arrived back in the gardens and received healing from the sprites.

[Kolava]

Yay

[PaulAVincent]

That must have took hours to do the whole color thing. Yikes.

[Kolava]

It was worth it, though. It's much easier to read like this.

[King Nicho Klojhen]

To tell the truth, posting the log took twice as long as the adventure. I was ready to give it up, but knew if I did I would never come back and finish it, so I kept at it.
