Message-ID: <1993Feb5.184758.10565@iscsvax.uni.edu> Date: 5 Feb 93 18:47:58 -0600 ADMIN: Forwarded for Shade, experiencing more that we'll know... [SQ] Shade follows the tall Mage through long corridors with soft carpets, beautiful tapestries and strange plants growing on the walls. Every now and then he sees other people moving around in the huge building... "What are these people...where did they come from...how can they live here..." -We are an old race, Shuulaine breaks the Dark Ones train of thoughts, once we lived above the sea as you do. The Dark One smiles a little, his green eyes twinkle... -So you can read my thoughts, can all of your race do that or just you? The Arch-Mage does not turn around, but Shade senses him smiling... -No, not all of us, but some of the nobility have this ability, so guard your thoughts well. -Ah...I'll try to remember that...so how come you live down here ? -It's a long story...here we are, wait here. They had come to a stop outside an ornate door, two heavily armoured guards stood outside. Shuulaine opens the door and steps inside. The Dark One carefully watches the guards while waiting for the Mage to return. The armour is dark brown with pinkish details... "Almost like a seashell...very beautiful..." ...it consists of small overlaying scales, almost like a lobsters back, maximum moveability and good protection. The door opens and Shuulaine waves him in... The room is small but comfortable, with a low round table surrounded by chairs. Paintings with different motifs cover the walls. At the table there are three people seated. The man in the center is tall and slim like the Mage, his fine face is dominated by a large tatoo of a seahorse that covers the left eye with its tail following his cheekline. To his left there is a tall, beautiful lady with long whiteblond hair interwoven with pearls. On his right there sits man who, though he has the same colors, as the others, looks quite different. He does not seem to be much taller than Shade, but he is much wider, muscles ripple under the loose shirt, his whole bearing radiates strenght. But the biggest difference is the eyes... "His eyes are purple...of all the...hm, sorry..." ...an amused smile flickers over the strong mans face... "...he knows..." ...and he nods imperceptibly. -This is his Majesty Hishiung and Her Majesty Cheehana. And this is his Grace Meelaun, may I introduce his Lordship Morlacad ShadowHawk, messanger from Queen Chushana. "By the Great God, what a strange fellow..." The thought startles the Dark One, because it was not his... -I'm Morlacad ShadowHawk, spokesman for Chushana, Queen of Dreams. -- HP : Morgan "the Dreamer" Broman mabr@sweden.hp.com SCA : Morgan deGrey APD-I: Shade ------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is life, but a sequence of fragments of time put together in a random fashion, to create eternity...
