OOC: need to talk to you LB - see ya on AIM/MSN later.

Arlyth smiled at his cousin, and returned her embrace, his eyes warm. Kissing her upon the cheek, a rare gesture of affection, he replied "I see. I also see you are more or less in one piece. Tell me, what happened here? And what happened to the elves? I see many of them with their weapons on the ground... what is being done with them?" his tone, despite it's warmth, held an adult note in it, and it was clear that he wouldn't accept anything less then a complete and full answer. The two elven priestesses remained a few steps away, but they looked very much like a bodyguard for Arlyth... he had changed greatly since the last time Alae had met him...

~~~At the same moment in time, in a glade away from the others...~~~

Sui'aerl followed Alliene. Once alone, she wove an incarnation. No-one would hear them. She paused, and turned to her mistress. She genuflected with the proper respect that was due to her mistress and began, "Mistres... why are you displeased? I obeyed your orders, all of them..." she looked at her, somewhat confused. After Alliene had crushed the former first house, with the help of her allies and Alliene's mother had been slain, Sui'aerl had been left in charge of Alliene's house until she had returned. Upon Alliene's arrival, Alliene had ordered her in secret, to seek out her enemies and infiltrate them. Sui'aerl dissappeared the same day, and no-one had heard of her since. A small group of warriors had accompanied her, and she disappeared into the night... "Why would you not wish to seek the blade, Mistress?" she asked, "Lord Calaethis's parting orders, along with yours, centuries ago were, despite what ever passed between you, the blade was never to be allowed to fall into enemy hands..." she paused, "Since Lord Calaethis relinquished claim over the blade, it... returned to how it was before he merged his mind with it; it is calm now, without the erratic emotions eminated by its former master... Mistress, it wishes to speak with you..." the priestess swallowed, "Please, when the boy spoke with you - it was the blade speaking through him, not Arlyth himself." she paused again, and bowed her head, "I... have learnt much about this enemy we face, Mistress; it is indeed the former first house... and I have dire news..." she stopped, waiting for her Matron to speak... or execute her.
