It's time

[Anastasia]

Thus you return to the Cauldron. Once you arrive, you get a message right away.

How did it go, Seira?

[Corwin]

Strange. Inconclusive. We're waiting another day to see how things turn out.

[Anastasia]

Oh, how strange. The politics of it must be a pressure on him.

One does reap what they so, does he not?

At the same time, Oberuth's voice in your mind.

'It's time,' he sends, 'We're ready to go face the end of the ruins. If all goes well, soon we'll have reached the end of this at last.'

[Corwin]

You go with my blessing, Seira tells Oberuth, voice a tad on the dry side before she grows serious. Give that petty tyrant his well-deserved judgement!

[Anastasia]

There's no response to that, surely Oberuth off to do exactly what he said he would do now.

[Corwin]

Few tears will be shed for the Sultan if he does get overthrown, Seira muses, thinking to Amaryl. Just as we would be hard-pressed to find someone sad at Daavid's fate, which is being decided this moment. Meet me at the gazebo with Yandrazrt? He deserves to see this through.

[Anastasia]

I'll be there.

Sure enough, the three of you gather there. Your friend is intent, standing and waiting as, "It's finally time? Will we be able to see it?"

[Corwin]

"I'll try," Seira responds. "My three chosen champions are proceeding with the test that I started with my two closest friends, and at that time my patron Waukeen was able to see and assist me as needed."

Having said that, Seira ensures absolute privacy and then attempts to share her senses of those events with Yandrazrt and Amaryl. At least she has plenty of experience with that aspect of it.

She also keeps an eye on the aquatic entrance to the ruins, asking Amaryl, "Could you make sure the main entrance to the ruins stays quiet and uncontested? If anyone tries to breach it, we'll send our avatars to discourage any mischief during the test in progress. I'll keep an eye on the water seal."

[Anastasia]

Amaryl closes her eyes, "...there's no need, it's already been done," she announces.

Meanwhile you can see that, Oberuth, Lyris and Marianne heading there. Nothing stands in their way, not this time.

[Corwin]

Seira is there with them in spirit, reassuring yet sufficiently distant to allow the conditions of a judgement by mortals be fulfilled.

[Anastasia]

They proceed into the halls you have not seen in decades. Into the halls you wandered so seemingly long ago, memories of your mortal past coming to the fore. Of battles for life and death, for battles not understanding what great threats lay here. Battles with friends past and present.

Amaryl watches, "Are Alicia and Demedais watching as well, Seira?"

[Corwin]

"I was just about to let them know," Seira responds, and now that all the preparations on her side are complete she reaches out towards Alicia and Demedais.

My friends, it is time for Daavid's judgement at long last

[Ebiris]

I heard from the Commander. Bit of a shame it's not us there, but good luck to him all the same. I hope he judges wisely, and chooses wisely after.

[Anastasia]

You get an acknowledgement and greeting from Demedais in the meantime.

[Corwin]

It's nice to have the acknowledgement of her erstwhile comrades. Rather than lose herself in nostalgia, however, Seira keeps an eye on the proceedings. And with luck, she'll get a chance to see how Ajan is doing these days.
