Relief

[Nephrite]

"We seek one to help us save the soul of the being known as the Hecatoncheires." Moore says, simply. "We need someone who is strong of mind and body, yet that mind and body are those of only peace. We cannot win against that being in a matter of arms - we wish to save it by bringing it to Elysium, where we will..."

A breath in and out. "I do not yet know what miracles will happen there, but I know in my heart that this is the path we must take to save it, and to bring Creation to a brighter future." He says. "I will not act as if there are no dangers - in fact, this is extremely, exceedingly dangerous. I will aid whomever it is as much as I can, through magic and song so that they will be able to survive, should it come to blows with that creature."

"I hear and I obey. I will serve," Is his answer, "Whatever trial the Holy Mountain puts before me, I will rise to and I will overcome, as long as that is what is willed to be."

[Nephrite]

Moore flies down to kneel. "No, it is us who are your servants in this." He says quietly. "Humility and humbleness, as well as the strength of a peaceful heart, are what will win this day. This will not be a battle of gods told in the storybooks, but a miracle of Creation found with the power of peace."

[Anastasia]

"Then it will be as you will," Is the Grand Master's reply. "Let the will of Chronias be done, now and forever."

[Nephrite]

Moore rises with a smile. "We will. We will illuminate even the heart of that creature." He says. "Because there is always hope."

We probably ought to try and plan out logistics of this so we have every scenario covered, or at least try to plan around Shar as much as we can.

[Anastasia]

Sure, have a plan here?

[Nephrite]

I do not personally have one. We know the steps are:


*Get Hecaton to go to Elysium
*???
*Something about peace
*Win??

We probably need to hammer out more specifics than all of this.

[Anastasia]

Yes, you likely do. How do you plan to do that? That's what I'm really getting on about.

[Nephrite]

I had kind of hoped we might be able to figure that out IC or I could get some hints, as I really, truly don't have an idea. It seemed like it was alluded to earlier that we had all that we needed to solve the problem, so maybe it's just a matter of putting it together like elongate.

[Anastasia]

Entirely possible. That's what I'm getting at - who do you want to talk to about it?

[Nephrite]

Oh. Well, everyone can be involved, but I think we'd have the most success with Sylvie and Xandra.

[Anastasia]

You get everyone together. It's a quiet meeting, but as you do?

"Moore, Moore!" Grias floats up, "You have a message from Dweomerheart!"

[Nephrite]

"That's probably not good news." Moore says. "Let's see it."

He will take whatever message it is to read it!

[Anastasia]

It is a scroll. Paired down past the diplomatic talk, it is a simple request to come to Dweomerheart within seven days to 'fulfill the favors owed to the Mother of All Magic'.

[Nephrite]

Hm, does he really owe her any favors? He'd go there regardless, but...

Oh, right, he did ask about all those spells.

A nod after he's read it.

"Once we settle this matter, we'll make an appearance there." Moore says. "If this goes well, we may be able to offer her more of a boon than she realizes."
