Cloud Age Symphony

[Ginrai]

"As Devin mentioned in the meeting, what you saw out there was a Titan."  Turning to Radagast, he says with a wry smile, "That's good to hear.  Will she get any sort of compensation for this?  If possible, can I see her later on?"

[Brian]

"Of course," Radagast nods.  "For the moment, I'm relatively certain that what she will want more than anything else is rest, however."

[Dracos]

"That's good, but what IS a titan specifically?  A magical golem?  It seemed to act odd for one.  Anyhow, that isn't as interesting to me at the moment as the issue with the moon.  Radagast, you mentioned earlier that the crystal was taken from the temple of Lienne that we'd lose the blessing of the moon?"

Dracos

[Brian]

"The Titans are the children of the younger gods," Radagast says, nodding.  "And if the crystal was removed from the temple of Liene, we would lose the blessings of the moon, yes ... though in theory ... if we were to place the crystal below the keep, it would retain it's function."  He looks uncomfortable about gambling on a theory.

[Dracos]

"What if someone else took it?  How common knowledge would this the loss of blessing be?"

Dracos

[Brian]

"I don't expect it would be too common, especially if we were reasonably ... cautious ... about revealing that information," Radagast says thoughtfully.  Sighing, he hangs his head.  "So much change in so little time ... you've come to this world like wildfire embodied in flesh.  I only hope your changes don't destroy this world."

[Ginrai]

Turning his head towards Dracos, Ginrai asks, "Wait, what's going on?  You're going to try and take the crystal from Liene?!"

[Dracos]

"I didn't say that Gin.  Tonight the battle did not end when the general died.  The moon did not immediately rise and the dreadmarch was not immediately driven away.  This could be nothing but at the same time, it worries me.  And having been told that, I instantly considered it as a possibility.  By removing the crystal there, we could be handicapped significantly if it would remove the blessing here."

Dracos

[Brian]

Radagast nods.  "It is one of the things we depend on greatly," he says.

[Dracos]

"So...  We cannot go directly to retrieve it immediately because if we do, we can be warning the Archanoe who'll be prepared, and thus deadly, for when you sneak in.  At the same time, we cannot completely ignore the possibility.  Therefore, I came to ask about ways to check if it the crystal is still in Lienne without moving there."

Dracos

[Brian]

Radagast blinks slowly.  "Ah," he says, nodding.  "Now I understand the nature of your concern."  Rubbing his chin, he closes his eyes, and concentrates.

About a minute passes, Parthipan and Phil waiting for Radagast to do something.

Nodding, Radagast opens his eyes.  "I have sent my friends to investigate," he says, nodding.  "We shall find out what the status of the crystal is shortly ... it is still warm at the temple, so birds have no qualms about being near it."

[Dracos]

Dracos nods.  "Thanks.  That should be a safe way to go about it."

Dracos

[Ginrai]

Ginrai blinks after hearing their plan.  "So you're going to try to bring both crystals here?  Who's going to get the one from the Archonae?"

[Dracos]

Dracos turned around, somewhat stunned as he gave Ginrai a 'what are you an idiot' look, before shaking his head.  "Yes, yes we are.  Radagast and Nathan and Eske and a few others.  Do not talk about this overmuchly."

Dracos

[Brian]

"I wouldn't worry about it, truly," Radagast advises.  "Unless you know something we don't, and if that's the case, we've time to discuss it later.  Now, however, I think we should leave Master Parthipan alone to get some rest, Lord Bloom."
