Aoide nods.
Aoide says (in common), 'I will'.
Samiyah says (in common), 'I meant to tell Sagan directly but have not seen him. Zephyr, I told, but .. yes. Impaired.'.
Aoide says (in common), 'And perhaps you will see him before I, but I will tell him as well'.
Aoide nods.
Samiyah says (in common), 'If I do.. I will.'.
Aoide says (in common), 'Samiyah...'.
Samiyah says (in common), 'Yes, Sayyida?'.
Aoide says (in common), 'I know that you have much to accomplish today in the way of mobhunting, but... when was the last time you slept? You look -exhausted-'.

DarkClaw sighs.
Samiyah says (in common), 'I was there for Ghazkull. And out of .. of kindness... to him.... I thought to show him aid.'.
DarkClaw says, 'I know you were, but you made it a point to acknowledge all others BUT him.'.
Samiyah explodes. "Tensions!?! He ATTACKED me! Without provocation! Without reason. Simply ... man-hurt-feelings! He is lucky I did not address it more directly than simply ignoring him.'.

Samiyah absentmindedly slips her hand down to her hip, as if to check the position of a weapon that is not there.

Samiyah says (in common), 'Lady, you just asked me to honor your Ordained, and twice in as many moments, he sought to cast spells on me in your presence'.
DarkClaw says, 'As I just stated, I wasn't aware of that until now. I was only aware of the one attack.'.

The Kitchen
[Exits: west]
Any experienced adventurer can tell you that it isn't always easy to
find food. For new adventurers this task is even more difficult.
Originally this room was built to feed those adventurers who could not
do it for themselves. Dues negotiations with guild members forced
cutbacks in the staff and building maintenance so that all that is left
now is a fountain where you can still get a drink.

Blood immediately wells forth.
Ghazkull tells DarkClaw (in elven), 'hehe, yeah, we're in kitchen'.
DarkClaw tells Ghazkull, 'She's not speaking to me.'.
Ghazkull tells DarkClaw (in elven), 'she's cut her wrist'.
Ghazkull tells DarkClaw (in elven), 'in kitchen'.
It flows in a strong trickle down the curve of her wrist and falls....
The crimson fluid's scent fills the room.
DarkClaw emerges from a thick layer of mist as it dissipates and seeps into the ground, a soft whisper filling the area.
Ghazkull looks at the fluid trickling from Samiyah's wrist.
The cup slowly fills, droplets flowing freely down her dusky skin.
The heady scent calls to you.
Ghazkull looks hungrily at the goblet.
Samiyah watches the level of blood in the goblet, raising her other hand, ready to put pressure on the wound.
DarkClaw says, 'Wait...'.
Ghazkull's eyes flicker momentarily, acknowledging the presence of DarkClaw.
Samiyah does not continue her movement, frozen, at the Immortal's command.
Blood continues to well forth, spilling over her fingers and into the near-full cup.
The crimson liquid reaches the cup's lip.
DarkClaw looks to Sami, a mixture of emotions on her features, along with a look of questioning.
Samiyah's arm begins to tremble, the droplets splashing.
DarkClaw whispers, "Are you sure, Sami?"
Samiyah says quietly, 'I have said that I would do this thing.'
Samiyah asks quietly, 'May I move?'
DarkClaw says, 'You may, of course.'.
Samiyah lays her hand over the cut, pressing hard to stop the flow.
The cup brims over, blood spilling onto the floor.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'Samiyah'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I thank you'.
Samiyah wraps a strip of linen around her arm and sits down abruptly on the fountain's edge.
Samiyah says (in common), '.. if you were human, I would make you bread... '.
She shrugs slightly.
Ghazkull glances questioningly up at DarkClaw, 'So it is finally time'
Belgarion tells DarkClaw (in common), 'everything ok?'.
Ghazkull chuckles at his own joke, since none of you would.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'part of me always thought this was a bad dream'.
DarkClaw nods once to Ghazkull. "If you are sure."
Samiyah watches the droplets dance on the edge of the goblet, and then down at the floor where a spattering of droplets marks the stones.
DarkClaw says distractedly, "Sami...I can seal that for you if you wish."
Samiyah says firmly, 'No, Lady.'
DarkClaw tells Belgarion, 'As alright as it's going to be.'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'as a wise bard once said to me, the only way is forward.'.
DarkClaw says, 'Very well.'.
Ghazkull bows before Samiyah.
Ghazkull raises the goblet to his lips.
Ghazkull tips the goblet slowly, grimacing slightly as the liquid reaches his taste buds.
Ghazkull swallows and starts to lower the goblet.
Samiyah smiles crookedly. 'Desert bard. Has a bit of a gamey taste to it. Not a cultured, refined vintage.'
Ghazkull's eyes seem to become even more focused and he raises the goblet to his lips tipping it further this time.
Ghazkull drinks deeply and intensely, emptying the goblet completely.
Ghazkull looks around the room.
Ghazkull blinks.
Samiyah watches more closely, her hand falling to her hip, as if preparing to unclip a weapon, if need be.
Ghazkull runs to the corner of the room and vomits uncontrollably.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'Star...'.
Ghazkull vomits again.
Samiyah blinks in surprise at the vomiting, and dips a bit of linen into the fountain, wetting it. She offers it mutely.
DarkClaw whispers, "That's normal, Ghaz."
Ghazkull nods in recognition to you.
Ghazkull stands up, looking around the room once more.
Ghazkull blushes.
Samiyah again offers the linen, not realizing it is with the hand that was cut.
Ghazkull stares past the linen at the cut on the bard's wrist.
Samiyah gestures with the rag. 'You have .. soil.. on your face..'
Ghazkull raises his hand to his face, brushing the spattered liquid aside, his eyes still intently focused on the bards wrist.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'No!'.
Samiyah blinks.
DarkClaw moves to stand between Ghazkull and Sami. "Focus. You have had all you can have from her."
Ghazkull nods in recognition to you.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I made a promise to her.'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'but... it is, compelling...'.
DarkClaw searches Ghazkull's face, "It is...overpowering...but you must fight it."
Samiyah says, "I am the baker. Not the bread..." Her tone is wry, at first, but slides off into a mumble as she sits down hard on the floor.
Ghazkull looks at DarkClaw, his face a multitude of emotions. Anger, Hunger, Thirst.
DarkClaw nods once, "You're strong. You can do it. There are...others you can feed from."
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I cannot stay here'.
Samiyah leans back against the fountain's edge, her face pale from blood loss and exhaustion.
DarkClaw says, 'Then go.'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I must go'.
Ghazkull leaves west.
DarkClaw produces a loaf of bread and offers it to Sami.
Samiyah raises a shaking hand in refusal.
DarkClaw raises a brow, "Why do you refuse?"
Samiyah says faintly, 'Because I do not want it.'
DarkClaw says, 'You should eat to regain your strength.'.
Samiyah shakes her head. 'I do not need to eat.'
Ghazkull tells DarkClaw (in elven), 'if you are able, please come to me.'.
DarkClaw sighs and puts the bread down next to the fountain and takes her leave. "As you wish."
DarkClaw grins and bares her fangs. Tendrils of fog rise from the ground, twisting their way up and around her form to shroud it from view.
Samiyah draws her injured arm in against her body, holding it to her chest.
Samiyah lays her head against the cool stones of the fountain, shaking in weariness.
Samiyah get a delicate emerald crystal goblet, tucking it into a pouch.
Samiyah says to herself, through clenched teeth, 'No weakness, girl.'
Samiyah says to herself, through clenched teeth, 'Get. Up. Desert. Girl.'
Samiyah levers herself up into to unsteady legs, using the fountain for support.
Drops of blood from her wrist flow onto the stones and the surface of the water.
Samiyah staggers to the door, and out to the hall.
The Baths
[Exits: north]
You are in a spacious chamber. Marble benches surround the room, facing in
toward the large bathing pool that fills its center. Steam curls up from its
waters, and you are aware of the warm humidity that fills the air. Water
flows forth from a statue in the center of the pool, keeping it hot
and fresh. A marble archway leads out to the north.
Samiyah half-falls onto one of the benches near the warmest of the pools, the steam enveloping her.
Samiyah murmurs, 'NOW I can sleep... Ghazkull, I hope helping you was worth having to wait.'
Samiyah sleeps.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I was born here.'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'not many know that, as I made Loth-Llorien my home from an early age'.
DarkClaw says, 'Why did you move?'.
Ghazkull sits down and thinks deeply.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'it's a very isolated land between here and Safehaven, the only way to get anywhere is by boat unless you can fly. But when things got too much, i'd come up here. Something about this loom used to 'centre' me if you understand my meaning?'.
DarkClaw mumbles distractedly, "I believe so."
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I am truly lost'.
DarkClaw searches your features and shrugs lazily, "Perhaps you are merely just found."
Ghazkull's lips move as he ponders the statement, finally he breathes, 'The Tower'
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'you did indeed find me, at great personal risk to yourself, and you saved me'.
A student arrives from the west.

Ghazkull ftells, 'Please do not kill her'.
Angriff ftells, 'i WILL!'.
Ghazkull ftells, 'she has.... helped me greatly today'.
Angriff ftells, 'yes but we be chaotic evil'.

DarkClaw reaches out a hand and clamps it around your arm, her voice firm, "Stop, Ghaz. You cannot drink dead blood."
Belgarion ftells, 'you and who are not on good terms?'.

DarkClaw watches the change, knowing there is nothing she can do but wait it out, a soft sigh escaping her lips.
DarkClaw murmurs, "It will be better soon"
Ghazkull's breathing gets stronger and faster, a rasping noise escaping his lips.
Ghazkull's eyes flicker open and he stands, groggily.
Ghazkull stumbles against the guardrail.
Pyre ftells, 'Ghazkull even, I have an item for you. mind if I pass through you DC?'.
Ghazkull ftells, 'can it wait a few?'.
DarkClaw murmurs, "Easy. Sit for a bit first."
Pyre ftells, 'sure.'.
DarkClaw ftells, 'You can sac it, Pyre. I'll wait before giving it.'.
Pyre ftells, 'Ok.'.
Pyre sacrifices a delicate emerald crystal goblet to you.
Ghazkull sits down, his head resting against a guardrail support.
Ghazkull rests.
DarkClaw reaches down and runs a hand over the loom idly, distant memories taunting her.
DarkClaw murmurs, "How do you feel?"
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'different'.
Ghazkull laughs at himself. Let's all join in!!!
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'what an understatement.'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I feel hungry'.
DarkClaw whispers, "You will always feel that...to an extent."
DarkClaw continues, "It is part of our curse."
Ghazkull shrugs, 'I feel other things, anger still, I feel embarrassed for what happened in the kitchen.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'but the overriding feeling is hunger'.
You nod in recognition to him.
DarkClaw says, 'You have to learn to fight the thirst...to never let it take control of you.'.
Ghazkull looks at DarkClaw, 'How do you manage it?'
DarkClaw smirks and shrugs lightly, "We have no choice. Should we let the thirst take control...we would lose ourselves entirely."
Ghazkull stands up.
Ghazkull steps away from the guardrail, taking a step towards DarkClaw.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I must learn to control something that is this compelling!?'.
Ghazkull looks back at the corpse.
DarkClaw nods once. "Yes. It gets easier...in time."
Ghazkull bends down and reaches into a pocket of the students robe, you hear a chink as though a couple of coins have knocked together.
Ghazkull murmurs softly, 'for your service'
Ghazkull stiffens suddenly, 'She is here'
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I cannot face her, I nearly broke my promise to her'.
DarkClaw shakes her head.
DarkClaw says, 'You ARE strong enough.'.
Samiyah arrives from the south.
Samiyah checks on Ghazkull's health.
Samiyah nods, the movement causing her veil-charms to chime.
Ghazkull nods slowly, his gaze moving to the bard.
Ghazkull starts to tremble.
DarkClaw whispers, "Her blood will ALWAYS call to you, but you must NOT listen."
The corpse of a student decays into dust.
Samiyah leaves south.
Ghazkull closes his eyes and takes a few deep breaths.
DarkClaw says, 'I will always be here for you, not always at your side.'.
Ghazkull nods.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'Please, Leave me for now, there is much I must contemplate'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'and... Star?'.
DarkClaw nods, "Yes, Ghaz?"
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'Thank you'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'for being here'.
DarkClaw shakes her head sadly, "There is nothing to thank me for."
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'for saving me'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'for giving me a home'.
DarkClaw smiles suddenly, "Okay, for that you can thank me."
DarkClaw winks suggestively at Ghazkull.
Ghazkull laughs.
DarkClaw says, 'Call if you should need me.'.
Ghazkull nods.
DarkClaw gathers the shadows about her and departs.
Ghazkull sits back down and stares into the loom, lost in thought.
Temple of the Lost
[Exits: west]
A large eye hovers in mid-air here, emitting a soft, purple glow.
(Dark Purple Aura) Angriff is resting here.
DarkClaw ftells, 'Mana is full!'.
DarkClaw snuggles Angriff.
Ghazkull ftells, 'in that case'.
Ghazkull prays, 'summon'.
Ghazkull arrives suddenly.
Ghazkull snickers softly.
DarkClaw ftells, 'Oh, Ghaz.'.
DarkClaw ftells, 'I have that thing from Pyre for you.'.
Ghazkull ftells, 'oh'.
Ghazkull ftells, 'cool'.
DarkClaw tells Ghazkull, 'But I think it might be too late? Hehe.'.
DarkClaw gives a delicate emerald crystal goblet to Ghazkull.
Ghazkull tells DarkClaw (in elven), '*laugh*'.
Samiyah tells Angriff (in common), 'I would like to get more scores for Pyre, but I do not have locate. Would you be willing?'.
Samiyah tells Angriff (in common), 'If you can locate them, I can fetch them for him.'.
The Apology
The Kitchen
[Exits: west]
A small white fountain gushes forth here.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'Samiyah'.
Samiyah says (in common), 'yes?'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I... wanted to apologize'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'for what I nearly did'.
Samiyah says (in common), 'Nearly doing, is not doing.'.
Samiyah says (in common), 'Thinking about doing, is not doing.'.
Samiyah says (in common), 'Only action is doing.'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I saw you in Cillidelia, how did you know I would be there?'.
Samiyah says (in common), 'I looked for elf places. You were not in Loth Lorien. Were I able to go home.. I would, when I am deeply hurt. It is where we all retreat.'.
Ghazkull nods.
Samiyah says (in common), 'I did not wish to intrude. You seemed... '.
Samiyah gestures a bit vaguely. 'Busy. But.. recovering. So...'.
Ghazkull closes his eyes and takes a few deep breaths.
Samiyah says (in common), 'There was scrubbing to do, so I came here to do it.'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'you shouldn't have to do that!'.
Samiyah shrugs and says (in common), 'It needed doing. Such things are women's work.'.
Ghazkull nods.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I must go now, I have much learning to do'.
Samiyah nods, one hand stilling the charms in her veil.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'but Thank you once again'.
Samiyah says (in common), 'you are welcome, butterfly.'.
Ghazkull smiles wryly, 'butterfly'
Samiyah blinks. 'I.. did not mean that as an insult.'
Samiyah says (in common), 'I did not mean to use the word at all. It is my term for.. becoming.'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'it just took me by surprise'.
Samiyah says (in common), 'it is my own word for what I seek to become.'.
Ghazkull nods.
Samiyah says (in common), 'I meant nothing bad.'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I took no offense, I was just, surprised. It is something to consider.'.
Ghazkull bows before Samiyah.
Samiyah says (in common), 'Be well, Ghazkull. I am glad that you have Become.'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'and you, Samiyah'.
Ghazkull leaves before he loses what little control he has mustered.
