The Known World RPG

Dernhil awoke from sleep, and felt a strange tingling overcome him. He knew something was amiss, but he wasn't sure what and so he threw on his robe and quietly stood up.

The room was dark; the only light that shown through the window was that of the half-full moon spilling across the wooden floor. It was eerie - too silent in many ways, and he made himself stand still so that he could hear what it was he knew was there, just beyond his door.

What if it's a dark spirit, like the one that overcame me before? Or a servant of the dark? My sword isn't here...I don't know where I left it..

Alas he took a step and the floorboard creaked loudly. Well, that's it I suppose.

"Who's there?" he asked loudly.

[PellinorFanatic]

"Not at all, and good luck with that," Aryella said smirking.

[Maiablackwolf]

Amgor rolled his eyes, but he knew as well as any (if not more so) than sleep would only help him, and that he ought to have it as soon as possible so that he might return to his unusual ways.

Eh heh, I've lost Aelika, too. In fact I think she's also in the Healing Houses, resting. BUT. She's still awake.

[Maerad(",)]

Ellesta stood frozen, she could not lift her hands to knock the door. What if he's behind this door, and if he sees me...what will I say? a jolly greeting? a somber call? a calm ''hello''? she sighed and suddenly remembered the time when she went to Dernhil's room. It was like just like this... she thought.

But a unexpected voice made Ellesta startled and released from her wanderings, "Who's there?" HE said. It was Dernhil of course, and she stammeringly spoke, "I-I-It's me." was all that she had said, somewhat afraid..or nervous.

[kiaga89]

His heart fell to the floor when he heard a response...a response from someone he hadn't expected to come to his rooms.

He swallowed the lump in his throat and took a deep breath before walking towards the door. What could he possibly say to her? Hadn't it all been said already? Why had she come?

He grabbed the doorknob with a shaky hand and opened the door. Sure enough, Ellesta stood there in the dark hallway.

"Why-" he began nearly as loudly as the first time he had spoken aloud, but when he realized how it echoed down the hallway, he lowered his voice to nearly a whisper. "Why have you come?"

[Maerad(",)]

Ellesta did not trusted her tongue to speak. She just stood petrified by the wonderful face in front of her: a gentle yet stern face, she cannot believe that she will not see this dear face again... But she could not endure the burning feeling inside her, and then hugged him suddenly.

"I am very sorry Dernhil." she said, her frequent sobbing betrayed her. "But please let me embrace you this last time." she badly wanted to tell "don't go." But her head said that she will be so stupid in that. Instead of doing so, she cherished the time embracing the warm body in front of her, not minding Dernhl's reaction.

[kiaga89]

She stood there in front of him, unmoving. He didn't know what to say, but as he thought of something, Ellesta embraced him quickly, so much that he didn't know how to react and so he stood there, arms upheld until he shook his head in confusion and hugged her back.

"How did you know I was here?" he asked, not bothering to speak of his sudden parting from Lirigon.

I'll be gone until Monday or Tuesday, but I shall respond when I return!!

[Echowindsong]

Does Ceredyn even exist anymore? Just wondering, cause if she does, I might be able to use her.... And no, I don't mean Cadvan's girlfriend because I'm pretty sure she's dead. I mean half-Bard, half-Hull Ceredyn. Her. She's rather snarky, if you know what I mean...
Anyway, just wondering.

[Maiablackwolf]

Yes, I think she's one of many that has found themselves wandering pointlessly about Lirigon. There are about ten of those... however, the fact that they're close by does make them easy to retrieve. Also, Amgor knows her-- if you recall, they met in the forest-- so there's a good lead if you do want to bring her back in.

[Echowindsong]

How can I bring her back in?

[Maiablackwolf]

Most of the group is in the Healing Houses at the moment, so perhaps if she were to have sprained her ankle or something of the like...?

[Echowindsong]

The last we saw Ceredyn, someone had knocked her out, I think.
Well, that means she's unconscious, so can someone find her and bring her to the Healing Houses? Please? I can wait. *Sits on a bench and opens The Singing*

[Maiablackwolf]

I would, if I could, but my character can barely stand up right now. Unless... if I were to use one of my new ones? Would you mind? One's a tempermental girl from Innail with a horrible singing voice and a slight dash of pyromania, and the other is her easily irritated and generally moody older cousin. They're both actually characters from my story

[Echowindsong]

*Looks up from The Singing* Sure, I don't mind either of them. This ought to be interesting...

[Maiablackwolf]

Ok.... since she's unconscious, should I have one of them pick her up? Or do you want to post anything first?
