Kaelir's Room

[Kaelir]

It was as if the shadow had never been there. All of a sudden, it was gone. The room slowly returned to a normal temperature.

Kaelir stood up, looking at the walls that now glowed with the rune carvings. "Wow, looks like you have done some... remodeling when I was gone." She picked up her sword that had clattered to the ground when the shadow had disappeared.

"How long will this protection last?" Kaelir said. She wiped dark blood off of her face.

Shaine, still weak, stumbled back into the room. "You can't kill it, not unless you find who's controlling it." She collapsed onto the ground.

::collapses to the ground as the shadow disappears with a grunt, then sighs as she opens her eyes:: an hour....and I need a lot of rest before I can do it again...::she then closes her eyes as her consciousness leaves her::

[Tregarde]

Tregarde hit the ground hard, and silently cursed herself for not remembering the protections that Jess had set up. She rubbed her shoulder as she got up and went over to kneel by Jess.

"Well, love, you did it again." she said with a smile.

She reached down and gently slipped her arms under Jess to pick her up. While doing so she looked at Shaine and Kaelir, "are you two alright?"

[Kirisa]

Kirisa seemed dumbfounded by what had just happened before her as she burst into the hallway. She let her sword drop and ran to Tregard,e who was cralding an unconcious Jess in her arms. and knelt down beside her, putting ehr hands on Jess softly, looking very concerned.

"What in Shilen's name just happened here?"

[Tregarde]

Tregarde looked at Risa. “A shadow creature attacked. Jess was able to send it away. She’s fine, just exhausted,” she finished in a reasuring tone.

Then she looked at Shaine. “I believe our new guest can explain some of it.”

[Kaelir]

Shaine coughed again. A thin dribble of blood slid down her lips and onto the floor. There were still shards of glass in her face, on her back. Kaelir caught the girl as she fell.

"She isn't in any condition," Kaelir said, frowning, and dragged Shaine back to the bed. "But if we can't stop this shadow, I'm afraid that she won't be the only one in trouble."

"Hold still," Kaelir said to Shaine as she began to pull the glass out of her face. She sighed, shaking her head as she tried to wipe away the excess blood with a towel. As she worked, she explained the events that had taken place as best she could to Kirisa.

[Tregarde]

Tregarde carried Jess back to their room and carefully laid her down on the bed while Shaine explained things to Risa. She pulled a blanket over Jess and gave her a tender kiss before turning back to return to the others.
