From: tkelly@unix2.tcd.ie (Mithrandir) Newsgroups: alt.pub.dragons-inn Subject: Silken[The Morning After] Message-ID: Date: 2 Jun 92 14:08:54 GMT Pain,in his arms and legs and head. Silken awoke from a nightmare into reality. Slowly he began to piece together what had happened the night before. He had been fighting on the Broadmarch,he remembered,and caught that slime Iglyarch with his panths down. Softly he swore to himself,he hadn't killed the mage and doubted that he'd get another chance this century. Slowly he got up and forced himself to wash all the grime in his hair down the sink.He was home,he knew,but he wasn't sure how he'd got there. Then he remembered trying his teleport ring one time too many,and an explosion of pain in his head.But he must have made it,he supposed. Quietly he lokked at his ring,and saw with that the jewel had cracked and was dull.He was saddened,for the ring had saved him so many times from danger,but now it was useless.Unless hhe could get it re-enchanted. But that would cost a lot of money which he didn't have,yet. Silken turned and put onhis normal grey silks.He ate a breakfast,and was thankful that his head was begining to clear from the pain. Already,he was beginning to get into a good mood,considering how he might drum up the necessary cash,and who he would get to perform the necessary rituals.He began to rise,when his vision became scrambled. He couldn't see.Slowly he sat down and calmed himself.He was getting a vision,which happened from time to time. Slowly the picture cleared,and he saw many things at once. The mists parted,and there was Kron,administering to Teondir's wounds. The picture shifted,he saw Meshtak vanish into his own idol,he saw the Body of Creft the Fence,and a dark figure standing over it.He saw Iglyarch smiling and scheming.Then he saw Seer talking to some entity. Silken could make a fair guess at what he was talking to.Then he waited. His sight cleared,and then he knew that there was going to be trouble. BIG trouble. -- ]]>>>Mithrandir<<<[[ ]]>>tkelly@unix2.tcd.ie<<[[ "In the uttermost West I was Olorin,In the South I am Incanus, among the elves I am Mithrandir,in the North I am Gandalf.
