Smith (Jaela, Calleigh, Surraruthru)

[Yuthirin]

"Everybody looks good!" Calleigh chirps.

[Corwin]

"Let's head out!"

[Anastasia]

The group follows Ithea's, the army proceeding on. Past a relatively calm patch to 3 and a half miles in. You're going over the last of the current empty space, when ahead you can see Ithea's group come to a thunderstorm. Everything ahead becomes storm clouds and lightning. You can see it even from your position a ways back, taking up the way ahead.

[Corwin]

"Candy, share your thoughts with Ithea about this," Jaela calls over to the succubus, drawing Gae Bolg for a bit of practice. The spear gets tagged with the Light orison, and then she focuses on concentrating it all in the tip instead.

[Anastasia]

"On it," Canderella flies forward and away.

But before Jaela can get on her casting, Balyss comes over, "I have news," she calls, "A sending from Aurora."

[Corwin]

"Go for it," Jaela says, shelving her experiments for when they'd be traveling again. "What's the message, and what was your response?"

[Anastasia]

"In short, Vivantha had a vision from Selune. Again." Balyss nods quickly, "We must be wary of the Pale Mother and that her ally is the one unknown. Also when it's urgent, we must pray to recover the lunar key."

[Corwin]

"What, you?"

[Anastasia]

"What about me?" Balyss asks back, frowning a bit.

[Corwin]

"You were the lunar key to Medi's place, right? Don't tell me I'm going senile in my youth."

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh looks confused.

[Anastasia]

"Yes, with the Sword of the Moon," Balyss explains, "But there's one problem with that. The Sword of the Moon was borrowed by Vivantha when she joined Muirfinn to face Athux and it was lost at the climax of that battle. We were given insight that it would return to us when the time was right."

[Yuthirin]

"Is is shaped like a moon? Who would make a sword shaped like a moon? That sounds really awkward!" Calleigh helpfully adds.

[Anastasia]

Balyss glances sidelong at Calleigh, "It's not shaped like a moon. It's blessed by Selune, hence the name."

[Yuthirin]

"Ohhhhhhh that makes more sense!" Calleigh nods. "Note to self: Have someone make a moon-shaped sword."
