Message-ID: <1992Oct29.140840.2027@noose.ecn.purdue.edu> Date: Thu, 29 Oct 1992 14:08:40 GMT Shendar walked slowly over the the spot where the coprses once stood. Gingerly she touched the ground, but was suprosed when she didn't feel the slight tinge of magic. Who were these people anyway? Maybe their magic is sufficiently differnet that I cannot read it? Well, at least they are not dead..... After whispering a silent prayer to she that burns ever bright and turned to face her either her saviors or captors. "Greetings, my name is Shendar and I am a Mistress of the Eternal Flame. I wish to thank you for your rescue." With the slight mostion or her hands a small white flame appears before each man. This flame gives off no heat and very little light, but it captures the imagination. "Just reach forth and grab the flame. It will create a small tatoo of a white fire on you right arm. If you are ever in need just touch the tatoo and speak my name. When you touch the tatoo and speak my name I will hear the message. I always come to your aid - I can even pass beyond the realms of the dead if the nead is great. This is my debt of honor to you for saving my life." "Now if someone whould please tell me what these creatures are I would visit their creator and discuss the purpose with him - for these are evil and an aboration to she who lights my path. I am a stranger to these lands and any information about the poeple that inhabit this area would be greatly appreciated." Inwardly Shendar did not know what to make of these lands. Incredible people that resembled creatures only found in myth and legends. The people with the sharp ears could even be Green Dwellers, except the Green Dwellers were prone to violence. She would have to be careful.
