Homefront

"The scale we're working on is too much for personal attention," Seira tells her. "So I come up with a plan, consult with people I trust, refine it and then have people who share the same goal take the lead in implementation. I stay on top of it, intervening where I need to, and keep on refining the plan as results from the ground arrive. If something needs to happen that I can provide with my resources or contacts, I do it. If the people following my plan are too close to it to see the big picture, I have that clarity and guide them. It's a lot like a mix between an instructor and an administrator. I first learned from running my magic school, so maybe you could start with a similar project? Pick one such thing, get it up and running and see what works for you and what doesn't?"

[Anastasia]

"That's IT!" Kascha gasps, "I have it! I'll fund my own school of magic in the Lost Eastlands and use it to begin a clergy! I can watch that without needing to be there, and surely I can find worthwhile instructors."

[Corwin]

Seira gives Kascha a thumbs up sign. "You have it in the bag! And if you need us for advice, we're always here for you, Kascha."

[Anastasia]

"We are," Amaryl says, "Come to us any time, as the winds come to the woods as they may."

With a bright smile Kascha vanishes, surely off to work on that. Amaryl adds after, "She's found her inspiration now, Seira. From that school can be a thousand seeds to sprout in fertile soil across the planes."

[Corwin]

"Should've lead with that, given how we met," Seira says with a laugh. "How about we get a head start on the seeds we want to sprout in Pallanth?"

[Anastasia]

"Ah, that would be due," Amaryl agrees, "Did you have a plan in mind, dear?"

[Corwin]

"Nothing direct, though I came up with several options. We could contact the Seldarine and ask for a joint statement of sorts. If Corellon Larethian sends signs to Pallanth that your star is on the rise, following up on that would net you those you need to help shape Pallanth. Working through my family there is also possible, and just as easy given they started out as our friends and orphans we took in and had my parents bring up. If you want a challenge, you could work through your family instead. Speak in all their dreams, offer a chance at reconciliation, and see who among them feels inspired by you. Finally, there's the tried and true method of casting your net wide, perhaps by endorsing a local festival and going from there."

[Anastasia]

A pause and a longer one, "I believe you are correct, Seira. I need to contact the Elf Father out of respect for him and his position in Pallanth. The others are good, but his support and aid in this venture, not to mention advice, would be critical."

[Corwin]

Seira nods. "If you ask me for my preference," she adds, "I believe it's time for you to reach out to your family. Doing so after Corellon Lathander reintroduces you to Pallanth would smooth out a lot for you."

[Anastasia]

"It may be." Amaryl admits that, "That is one thing I will seek his council on."

[Corwin]

"No time like the present, is there? Let's go~"

[Anastasia]

"Seira, my love." Amaryl reaches out for your hand, "I'm beyond fortunate that you would do so for me, but I should do this on my own." Squeezing your hand tightly, "Too easy is it for me to sink into relying on you - Emily's reminded me of that side of myself."

[Corwin]

Seira squeezes Amaryl's hand to show that she doesn't mind. "Travel safely and invite Hanali over for a visit?" she says, accepting Amaryl's wishes.

[Anastasia]

And thus Amaryl is gone.

Anything to do before Donald and Ranbar arrive? It won't be long before they do.

[Corwin]

Let's see Xera now.
