An obvious outlander who has not been seen before comes to the temple to pay his respects. He spends a few hours browsing the library and making notes on what books to look through. After a time, he gives a tithe to the Lady of Mysteries and departs.

*Wanders in looking lost... not as in unsure of where she is. but unsure of where she's going. Galinda the Blue touches a book or two barely absorbing the titles, any who look at her see clearly she seems exhausted, her eyes lined with dark circles... she says for several nights.... always seeming to go to bed at a decent hour.... and getting up normally but this seems to not help much.* *after picking a book one day she sits against the wall, hugging her knees to her chest.... any passers by may notice she seems to be looking through the book, more then at it. something heavy weights on this womans mind and it seems to be taking a toll on her body as well.* *Arician comes up and kneels* "You cannot continue like this Galinda, sleep or pull yourself up. Please" *he offers a hand as he speaks* |

*without looking up to Arician she speaks softly*
I did sleep Arician... my sleep is haunted.... the black.... the nothing... I force myself to sleep knowing it is waiting for me.... How can I adventure again knowing what may await me..... How do you?
I feel the path every night... I have only two choices.... fight it and be haunted the rest of my life.... or embrace it.... and pray that the darkness isn't completely empty... and hope hides in it.... somewhere....
*she looks up and takes his hand*

*sits at the base of the statue of Mystra... silent prayers in her mind she lays down on her side, her knees wrapped in her arms and tries to rest....*
*fitful dreams would normally await her, whispers of darkness, of the silence that awaits, but tonight... under the statue of Mystra, one prayer is answered. one mind... given reprieve for the night. one young woman who after experiencing death... her own... for the first time and seeing the dark nothing looking into her and she could only look back terrified, finally, under the watchful eyes of the statue of Mystra, she rests peacefully.*

A thin man in the colors of the Purple Dragons enters the temple and walks up to Tallinita.
"My Priestess, I have a sword for you to look over, it has come from the Keep of the Kamtavarians in the heart of the Vast Swamp. This sword and others similar were carried by the Black Wolves who were Nightsinger cultists, and mercenaries hired by the Sembian Army". The sword Kian holds out for Talinnita to take is a sinister blade made of adamantine and has shadowy runes that flicker when light is cast upon them.
"I'd like to spend sometime at rest now and recovering the strength I lost during my time held prisoner by the sembians. I'll answer any questions you have once I've recovered."

*Arician stares up at the statue of the lady, his grey eyes glazed in thought and memories. He doesn't move and his breathing Is slow as he stands almost at attention before the statue*

There is a quiet rustle of leaves as a very gentle teleportation finishes in the groves main grounds.
The figure stretches with various audible pops of his joints before clicking a finger making his armor wrap and glow faintly around him.
"Back to work then"
He muses to himself as he makes for the temple, blue staff in hand

The small frame of a cowled woman enters the Grove of Mystra, she moves through into the temple where she remains for a few hours, speaking to no one, simply pouring over a few books and tomes from the shelves, and one produced from her own pack.
Apparently dissatisfied, the figure departs as quickly as it had arrived out of the Grove, leaving the books opened and abandoned upon a table in the library.

Kerri Harton, one of the priestess, notices this and moves to see the books. She arrives just too late to actually greet the woman and offer to assist her.

A hooded mage materializes into the halls of the Mystran temple, the portal casts a green light on his features that reveals him as the wizard known to some as Eishur Greyshade. Well inside the building he seeks eye contact with the priestess, offering her a mere nod before he fills the tithe plate with coins. As quietly as he walked in he walks away into the library where he spends time searching every bookshelf, in search of any book pertaining to a particular subject. He would spend hours upon hours searching, occasionally he would pick out a book only to put it away again. At one occasion he would pick up a children's book, reminisce about his childhood with a smile on his face and say: "Hey I remember you" before putting away the book once again.
Other books of interest he would also find but rather than keeping them he stows them back into the shelves and say:
"I shall come back for you another time."
The search continues and the monologue with it, he motivates himself by saying things like
"priority, priority", "necessary legwork", "it all depends on me", "I hope Darkharp is right"

We know our shelves better than a visitor." She also comments, "You can perhaps copy our books with respect to Mystra, you can not come back for them and take them." She did overhear his comments about coming back for them another time. |

The hooded mage instinctively turns to the source of the sound, once he had successfully identified the woman whose face is familiar to him he resumes the search. He would speak to Kerri without seeking eye-contact, the tone of his voice would suggest that he is somewhat distracted and is exerting himself to hold a basic conversation.
"So you're a priestess of our lady, say are you capable of ordaining me? I too wish to become a priest."

The hooded mage had returned to the temple from his adventures. Rather than continuing his book search in the library he instead approaches the priestess Talinnita and flashes a faint smile before he hangs his head to speak.
"I wish to make a confession, Dweomerkeeper."
The priestess would look at Eishur inquisitively.
"I have sinned, I used magic for personal benefit. This happened yesterday when I used an instrument of magic to gain a favourable position amongst my peers."
Eishur slips forward an object wrapped in cloth which he offers to the priestess.
"I want you to sacrifice this magical object to our Lady of Mysteries, I will also tithe the sum of my earnings sevenfold in hope for forgiveness. Thank you priestess."
Without further absorbing Talinnita's time, Eishur walks to the tithe plate where he drops a thousand worth of gold coins and leaves the temple.

Kerri studied the hooded mage, "It would be the high priestess who would have to Ordain you but only if you are truly called and the Lady of Mysteries has blessed you with the channeling of her power."

To Kerri he would respond:
"I truly have been blessed, blessed with the ability to tap into her power, the one known to us mortals as the Weave. I shall speak to the priestess at a further length and I thank you for your time. Now if you'll excuse me I shall tend to these books I picked out."
A bundle of books rests on the table that he uses for study, next to the books lies a box of chocolate from the Tipsy Imp that he has decorated with a note with big bold letters that reads "STUDY SUPPLEMENT". The hooded mage sat himself down, cracked open book after book that had any mention of runes in them, occasionally he would take notes and stuff himself with chocolate. While he could not find any direct answers to his puzzle in any of the books he believes he may have found some pieces, pieces he doesn't know where to fit just yet and if they even fit at all.
Somewhat a dissatisfied grunt escapes him but still he remained optimistic, he collected the books from the table and put them back to their respective shelves. Pondering about his course of actions the mage spoke out:
"That leaves me to the mercy of the Oghmanytes in Arabel until those bloody Deneirans make up their minds. With the reconstruction in consideration I wonder if the Oghmanytes have managed to amass any relevant material in the subject."
He would leave the temple and greet the priestess on his way out, thanking her for her service to the faithful.

A pretty elf in a blue skirt arrives at the temple and politely asks the priests if Eishur can be reached, leaving a note should he be unavailable.

There's an odd rustle through the grove as old shoes walk through it. A figure 6'2 wearing blue makes his way quietly to the temple's entrance only to smile and shake his head before leaving the grove with a smile and a click of his fingers

Arician pulls at his hair with tired bloodshot eyes as he leans over the alchemy desk. Boiling bottles and tinctures surrounded by half finished notes and formula clutter the desk entirely.
"No, no, why WHY DAMMIT?!"
He exclaims has he knocks away some of the mess. He exhaled heavily as he turns and slumps down against the desk.
"Time against me and I've nothing to show.... Mystra grant me insight for o have lost all sight"
He closes his eyes and wraps his hands into a prayer
"Have mercy on this dieing soul"

A gentle hand rests on Arician's shoulder, soft breath on his ear as she speaks close to him.
"Do not make yourself so upset, darling Blue. We will find you that cure. There is always another way, let me help you."
Salina wraps her arms around him from behind and lays her head on his shoulder, kissing his cheek. Her jeweled eyes flash with a cold certainty.

He grips Salinas hand for assurance
"I pray you are right my little firestarter. Else you've married a mad man"
He says turning to her with a half smile and tired white eyes

In the mid-afternoon a beaming face of a small woman sporting a large backpack and grey clothes enters into the grove and walks through with a happy bounce in her step, she speaks to no one but spares a moment upon entering the temple to clean up any messes made recently, including discarded and shattered bottles or other miscellanea near alchemy tables.
After cleaning she moves through to the library where she settles for the evening over a large grey tome, before eventually drifting off to sleep to the sound of complaints steadily and constantly emerging from her backpack.

*Within the cool dark confines of the library, a note is left on a table addressed to Eranin. It is not sealed, and opening it can reveal the brief message:
Eranin and Ai'rea,
Stopped by to say hello.
your friend,
Ellena.
*A holy symbol of Lathander is left on top of the note, as a paperweight*

Arician stands vigil just before the entrance to the shrine, just as he has night after night before. White eyes twinkle under moonlight and his armor shimmers in the shifting wind. Behind him slowly turns a twin blade of power: blades of gemstone with crankling auras of magic.
Quietly under breath his whispers.
"Mystra grant me strength and insight throughout darkness, for dark skies cometh and i am growing old and weary of this Neverending fight"

* Marister had been concerned over Salina's recent behavior. He decided to go to Shallybrook to try and find Arician.
He had checked the inn but no success. Marister then proceeded to head to Mystra's grove. He entered and looked about hoping to find Arician.*

*After recieving word of someone looking for her, the thin and muted figure of a young woman can be noted around the temple and in Mystra's Grove. Quite often, the figure looks back over her shoulder and whacks her backpack ... for some unfathomable reason.*

It is quiet. A quill scribbles alone by candle light. Gentle glow illuminates a tired face and ink stained fingers. Tome after tome sits stacked at the foot of his chair.
He pauses to roll his neck to various protests from his joints. A mutterence in Damaran grumbles about historians blight.
"With luck at least, it will serve someone"
He snuffs the candle and makes way before the alter. Bending the knee he whispers quiet prayers as runic leather appears from blue mist and wraps over him.
He exhales as the armor tightens locked around him. "And with the turning of a hand. May vigil starts anew"
He turns and moves into the grove, waiting somewhere, watching and still.
