Emrikol stands and walks to the bar. He stands in front of Drax, then moves his fingers under the bandages on his hands, and touches Drax's forehead. "The circle is complete," Emrikol whispers, as a red/blue glow comes from under the bandages, and his clothes. "Rest easy, friend Drax, for when you awake, you will feel better." The strange light stops, and Emrikol steps back from Drax. "Now Drax, let me help you back to our table, so you may rest." -- Emrikol with the bandaged hands. ******************************************************************************* email: cvenour@cit.gu.edu.au - To give is to receive.
