&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;Notes: The solar eclipse in this story was a RP precursor to a special reboot to bring in a new mob. I've deleted most of the references to it in the log, because in Isolas' temple, it is always night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Tower of Sorcery'''&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[Exits: north]&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
(Light Red Aura) Captain Global Warming, Snowman of Isolas, is here.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas arrives from the north.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Global Warming bows before you.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;gt;close n''&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir closes the archway.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas creates a slender silver key out of thin air!&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas locks the archway.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas eats a slender silver key.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir rises through the air to the loft above.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas watches curiously.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir gestures for you to follow.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas flies upward, joining you.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir lands lightly and glances about, having never been up here.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, 'I heard rumor there was some sort of sleeping device...’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas goes to a particular glass pane and pushes it open to a wide walkway that wraps around the Tower.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas steps through to the outdoors, where a large bed sits.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir blinks, surprised, but follows in your footsteps.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir murmurs, 'outside? Interesting.'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'it's always night out here.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir slides onto the bed, sitting upright against the headboard.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir folds her legs underneath her, sitting in tailor-fashion.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir makes a pillow of your discarded outer robe, and sets it on her lap.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir crooks her finger in your direction.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas slides over to the bed, sitting on its edge.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir pats the folded robe. 'C'mere.'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas considers hesitantly.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'You're sure?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says gently, 'rest.'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas lays his head down on the robe slowly.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir leans slightly over you so that her hair falls down to make a tent that blocks out even the stars.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir strokes your brow lightly with her fingertips, soothing away the tension that is always buried there.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir lightly massages the planes of your face, the touch carefully neutral but soothing and gentle.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir gently strokes the length of your hair where it spills over the robe, playing with the brown strands.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir hums softly, the tune an old ballad, in tune with the movement of her hands.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas exhales slowly, somewhat staggered and nervous.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir softly exhales, the sound a gentle, 'shhhhhhh.'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir continues the light, soothing touch: your brow, your hair, the line of cheek, shoulder.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir glances to either side, a commanding look making even the winds at this height still, so as not to distract you.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir continues humming softly, accenting the tune with touch and comfort.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas stares upward, his eyes shifting around.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir shakes her head slightly, the movement making the strands of her hair brush your cheek. 'Shhh.'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
She barely strokes the curve of your eyebrow, her thumbs sweeping over your eyelids, urging them closed.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas tries to keep his eyes still, but can't.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'I am ... vulnerable, here. I am not guarded.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'I don't remember how to be that way.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir pauses, and looks at you. She asks quietly, 'Do you want me to stop?'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, '...no.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, 'Do you trust me to keep you safe?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, '...yes'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir nods, as if she wasn't sure what your answer would be.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, 'then... rest.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir resumes her light touch, fingertips stroking over your face and hair.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'But...’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'what if I sleep?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, '.. and if you do?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'You can't keep watch over me the whole time.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, '... I can't?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'You have duties to all in the realm, not just me.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, 'They can wait.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas opens his eyes again.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'will you sleep?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir shakes her head.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, 'No. I'll watch over you.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'You should sleep.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'I can watch over you.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir asks softly, 'Do you trust me?'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'Yes.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, 'Then rest.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas swallows hard, closing his eyes.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir continues her soft humming, words here and there barely discernable in old-common.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Her hands are astonishingly gentle and light, soothing, barely brushing your skin and hair.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas whispers, 'I don't know how to be taken care of. Only how to be the one who takes care of others.'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir softly and slowly sings (in old-common), 'Plaisir d'amour'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
She caresses your cheekbone.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir softly and slowly sings (in old-common), 'ne dure qu un moment'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Her hand smooths your hair from your brow.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir softly and slowly sings (in old-common), 'Chagrin d'amour'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingertips brush along your shoulders and chest.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir softly and slowly sings (in old-common), 'dure toute la vie'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir brushes her hands along your upper arms, barely skimming the fabric, but radiating warmth.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir murmurs, 'You were mine to take care of for a long time. I didn't forget how.'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir brushes a hand along your hair.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir murmurs, 'Sleep.'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas begins to breath deeper, drifting away.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir hums another, even older tune, her caresses gentle and soothing.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir hums the first verse, then murmurs the words of the second.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir sings softly, ' Take time to thrive, my ray of hope, in the garden of Dromore'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir sings softly, 'Take heed, young eaglet, till thy wings are feathered fit to soar'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir sings softly, 'A little rest and then the world is full of work to do'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir sings softly, ' Sing hushabye loo, low loo, low lan'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir sings softly, 'Hushabye loo, low loo'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir sweeps gentle caresses along your brow and hair.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir hums the chorus.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir glances down at you tenderly.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas breathes deeply and slowly.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir brushes a brown lock back from your face.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir smiles quietly, her expression one of joy and peace.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir rests one hand on your chest above your heart, the other continuing its soothing touch.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir lays her other hand lightly against the side of your face, listening for the prayers of your people.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir closes her eyes briefly, a thought held safely behind them, then opens them and smiles at your sleeping form.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir tells Hedschott, ‘May I make an odd request of you?'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Hedschott tells you (in common), 'um?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir tells Hedschott, ‘and it may sound odd. But... Please don't ftell or pray right now. '.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Hedschott tells you (in common), 'no worries'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas lays perfectly still, breathing the only sign of life.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
She breathes a whisper to one of your folk, checking on them and asking for continued silence.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir blinks, and moves her hand slightly on your chest, seeking your pulse.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas turns onto his side, hair falling over his face.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir smiles tenderly, and brushes the hair back from your face.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir lays a hand lightly on your shoulder, letting it slowly trail down the line of your back.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir resumes her soft humming, the sound soothing.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir glares as a bird approaches, winging past in the night. It veers off abruptly. &amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir resumes her humming, one hand resting lightly on your brow, listening for the prayers of your folk, the other stroking your back.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir glances up at the stars and smiles a little.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir murmurs, 'All is well. Sleep.'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir glances into the distance, checking on your Magi. She nods in satisfaction, then returns her attention to you.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Hedschott ftells, '(info) ### Viteazu has scored 8 points on a location quest (290 points total).’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir winces as she hears a voice, and lightly shifts her hands over your ears to muffle it.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir murmurs, 'shhhhhhhhhh....'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas grips the blanket a bit in his sleep.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir strokes your shoulder. 'shhhh.... sleep. All is well.'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Cordir watches over the cleric as he travels, her gaze distant.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir's hands lightly stroke your hair.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir hears the cries of the injured fish-child, and murmurs a word of healing to silence its whimpers. &amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir watches the stars turn in the skies above, her smile peaceful.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

(Light Red Aura) Captain Global Warming, Snowman of Isolas, is here.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir continues her soft humming.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas lays perfectly still, turned onto his left side.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir lightly strokes your hair above your pointed ears, avoiding the sensitive tips.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir leans her head back and watches the stars slowly turn above.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir tilts her head to one side, and makes a 'come here' gesture with the hand that isn't stroking your hair.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A tiny black spider appears. &amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
She looks at it a long moment.  It nods.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The spider creeps through the still-open window and down into the Tower.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir nods, and closes her eyes briefly, her hand still slowly and lightly brushing your hair.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas mumbles.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir murmurs, 'sshhh..... all is well.' Her eyes do not open.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir hums softly, her voice slightly hoarse from the many hours.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir arches her back slightly, to stretch the muscles.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir settles back into place.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir resumes her humming and light touch.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir bites her lip, gazing down at you.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir hesitates, trying to make a decision.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir lightly strokes your cheek, and murmurs your name. 'Isolas... there will be a moment of darkness in a short time. Sleep through it if you can.'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir murmurs, 'But don't be alarmed. Wake if you will. Sleep if you wish. I am here. You are safe.'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir resumes her soft lullaby, the light stroking of your shoulder and hair.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir watches you sleep, a smile on her lips.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas breathes deeply.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You feel the faintest whisper of a thought:  *safe*&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A mischievous look flashes across her face as she ponders sliding into your dreams... but she simply sits watch.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir lightly brushes your mind, to determine your level of sleep, then withdraws.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas grips the blanket, his expression tightening.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir murmurs, 'sshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...... It's okay. All is well.'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir runs light fingertips along your brow, soothing away the furrows.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas moves a bit, mumbling again.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir withdraws even that delicate touch, not wishing to intrude on your thoughts.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas settles in again, relaxing.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir smiles down at you.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir swallows hard to moisten her dry throat, then hums softly, yet another ancient tune.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir whispers, 'There will be an eclipse soon. All will be dark. You will be safe.'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Cordir watches your sleep for any sign of disturbance.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir forces herself to quiet, so as not to disturb your sleep.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir closes her eyes, letting the world turn as it will.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas just breathes, features still.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Cordir watches you in silence.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Cordir lightly strokes your cheek, watching you sleep.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir murmurs, 'All is well.'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir lightly brushes a lock of your hair back.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir stretches slightly, rolling her shoulders then resettles.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir looks down and smiles.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir lays a light hand along the side of your face - not listening but simply checking on your state of conciousness.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas stirs at your touch, slightly nuzzling into it.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir smiles softly, fingertips and palm cupping your cheek.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas mmms gently and smiles a bit in his sleep.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir resumes humming - her voice barely audible.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas turns his head slightly upward and opens his eyes suddenly.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir glances into the Pattern and seeing your people safe, nods to herself.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir smiles. &amp;quot;hi there.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'Hello.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas raises his head up to look around.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, 'you slept a long time. '.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, 'your people are safe and well.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'How long was I sleeping?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir tilts her head to one side. She quotes you from long ago: &amp;quot;Awhile&amp;quot;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas sits up suddenly, surveying the surroundings for any signs of ... anything.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir remains still, letting her hands fall to her lap.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'all is well?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir nods.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, 'You slept.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, 'I watched over your folk.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, 'They came to no harm while you rested.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir painfully straightens out her legs and stretches.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas nods.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'Thank you.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir smiles happily.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir nods.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, ‘Gladly.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, 'there was an eclipse. But you slept through it.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas nods.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir asks curiously, &amp;quot;did you dream?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir blushes.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas cautiously withholds. &amp;quot;I don't remember.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, 'I wanted to .. peek.. but did not.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, '.. is everything okay?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas nods.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'Regaining my bearings.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir nods.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir slides off the bed and smoothes her gown into place.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir walks to your side and holds out the folded mass of your robe.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas takes it into his hands.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'Thank you.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir murmurs, &amp;quot;I’ll let you get yourself settled, then.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir nods and smiles.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas stands and hugs you close.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir smiles up at you.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir says, 'I should be going - until later, then?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas nods.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Isolas says, 'Soon.’&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir rests her hand on your cheek a brief moment.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir nods.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir fades out of view.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
