Shadow rondo

[Ebiris]

Alicia doesn't waste any time casting a gate to Pazunia where she saw that coccoon. "Get Colke, Antenora."

[Anastasia]

Antenora grabs Colke - an indistinct, acid burned mess - and comes right back through.

[Ebiris]

Alicia closes the portal, returning to her normal size before she touches Colke and infuses the healing power of silver fire through him.

Regenerate function of silver fire.

HP healed.

[Anastasia]

Colke seems...oddly undefined. Asleep, restored. Almost like clay before the sculptor's touch. Antenora inspects him before, "It's like...he isn't finished? Or he lost being finished."

[Ebiris]

"Might need Sulia or an expert in healing to look at this, but give me a moment," Alicia says. She plane shifts them back to Sylica first, an empty bedroom in Liberton made available for Colke while Alicia's silver fire recharges inside herself before she employs it again.

Greater Restoration function this time.

[Anastasia]

No change. Antenora lays Colke onto the bed. "We'll need an expert," Antenora agrees with that. "Alicia, are you well?"

[Ebiris]

"Hopefully better than the Lord of 666 after all of that," Alicia says, straightening up. "We came to rescue Colke, and that's what we achieved. We stood true to ourselves in spite of everything thrown at us. It doesn't matter that we didn't triumph in a slash of a blade and spray of blood, because we won where it counts," she taps a hand over her breast, "In the battle of ideals."

[Anastasia]

Antenora smiles. It's a slow but honest smile, "For a moment, we stood before one of the most profane things in Creation and we triumphed. I fear we came closer to disaster in this battle than any other, but once again here we stand."

[Ebiris]

"It was very dicey at times, don't doubt that," Alicia agrees. "But from such struggles we are tempered. Still..." she exhales, stepping away from the bed. "Before I call Sulia to look at this, or ask Jessica what happened with the false Colkes... a debt is owed."

Do you have a moment, Malcanthet?

Also, is there a name for the artifact Malcanthet and Violet bought from Umberlee? It never came up in text but presumably we identified it by some means offscreen.

[Anastasia]

Urvala.

Yes, darling?

[Ebiris]

Please no darling. Would you like Violet and G'renna back?

[Anastasia]

Of course I would.

[Ebiris]

Then the deal is I'll free them in exchange for Urvala; the artifact you purchased from Umberlee that facilitates Violet's craft, and we will refrain from attacking each other in the Abyss and Ysgard respectively for one hundred years.

[Anastasia]

Aren't you in a mood? What's the catch?

[Ebiris]

The Abyss did me a turn in your name. Against the Abyss so the sum zeroes out, but you know how I'm a stickler for a fair deal.
