"Ummmm," Moria still looks a little distracted, but seems to be getting a grip on her emotions again. "You are correct, sir, I am an adept of Greater rune magic, and from what I have seen, it does seem to be different from your Shadow Magic. Mine is focused in binding and altering with little or no outside help, while yours appears to work with or through a focus such as your cloak. It might be advisable to watch what you place in your cage next time, I'm not sure that I wish to try this feat again." She smiles a little at this and Luthor sees that she is not as serious as she sounds. [...] > "I am Luthor Anside of Eveningstar. I am both pleased to meet you and in > your debt M'Lady.

"I shall keep that in mind, good sir, and I shall not betray your trust, for such vows are not to be made lightly, by any means! I think that I need to sit down for a while and rest, however. I sincerely hope that no more troubles come your way today, Luthor Anside." She had moved up to within a few feet of him with these words, and with her parting comment, she smiled warmly at him, but hesitated before she moved back over to the table where Indigo and Amachiak were still sitting (and floating). ----- Master Hawk Leader of the Night Parade "And it shall come to pass that what men made shall be shattered, and the Shadow shall lie across the Pattern of the Age, and the Dark One shall once more lay his hand upon the world of man." -from The Karaethon Cycle: The Prophecies of the Dragon.
