tThus Larry and Sephi begin their journey through the city, asking folks if they had seen a particular lady come by. Larry gave brief descriptions, though few people had actually seen anyone like that. Larry began to converse with Sephi...
"So...How is it going? Found any work, yet???" |

As she re-opens her eyes, she turns her gaze to the bundle. Unwrapping the cloak, she lifts Isabeau with her muddy hands and casts a final glance at her.
~ My darling, Isabeau... you will always hold a place in my heart... I swear this to you now... ~ Gently, she begins to lower her familiar into the grave ~ Forgive this crude burial ceremony, Isabeau... I wanted to do something special for you for the last time.. ~ Her hands shake as she places the hawk against the cavity. Reluctantly, her right palm clenches over some earth and hovers above the grave. Slowly, the earth sifts out of her tightly pressed fingers. |

Sephi easily keeps up with Larry, staying behind while he asks everyone they meet if they saw Mistral. Every time, though, Larry came back, seeming more disappointed than he had earlier.
You can say that I found work... I found plenty of fighting, that's for sure. But after you find your-is she your wife?- I can get us some adventure if and when you want it... |

Larry grinned at the mention of Mistral being his wife.
"Between the two of us...That girl is my life! She has given me a purpose to live, and I continue to try and please her. But she is very difficult to convince! It is draining my life away to get her to accept me. I don't think she feels safe with me or something. Her mood changes like the seasons, and I will one minute be holding her in my arms, the next...chasing her down and trying to start over again. Yet, I must admit...I love the difficulty level! She is no easy prey, and that just drives me wild! Hopefully, soon...she will accept me and nothing else will be able to tear us apart. "Have you ever seen that statue in the gardens by the Temple of Mistra? It feels...special to me to be there...and see what that statue represents...That is what I want. The ultimate adventure! A family!" [This message has been edited by Larry_OHF (edited 10-31-2001).] |

~ In the darkness, she flounders in bewilderment, her keen vision failing her for once. Voices bombard her ears relentlessly, inflicting sharp pains in her mind. ~
"You can do it, my friend, you know you can..." "My daughter loves you as much as you love her; perhaps even more..." "I promise to spend more time with you..." "Your mistress misses you more than you will ever know..." "Can you bear to leave her in her grief?" "...just come back to me..." "Strength and courage, my friend, strength and courage..." "You're so close to winning, Isabeau. Don't give up now..." "...please..." "How can you give up so soon?... You're a fighter; fight for your life!" "Think of the days ahead for you and your mistress..." "See her being bullied in the streets; is that what you want?" "She's done with crying; she will never get over you..." "If you do not wake up now, you never will..." "Her love shrouds you like a cloak..." "She's covering you with earth...blotting you out of her life...can you bear that?!" "Stop her, Isabeau, stop her before it's too late..." ~ As the voices fade, she strains herself against the powerful forces threatening to drag her to the dreaded prison. With a supreme effort, she tears herself free... ~ In reality, her body stirs. [This message has been edited by mistral4543 (edited 10-31-2001).] |

Ah yes, a young love. Just remember, whatever you do, don't let anything happen to her. She may think that you're smothering her, but it's for the best. I learned that when... when... A sudden sadness comes over Sephi's face. What... what is this? I remember this feeling... don't I? Since when have these been resurfacing? I think it was... that girl! Sephi quickly recovered his grim posture, not revealing anything to Larry.
Anyways, a family... that does sound like a very large challenge. Just remember, that if you two ever do decide to settle down, I'm always in need of work. |

Absently, she looks at her familiar with the final words in her mouth ~ "Goodbye, Isabeau..." ~ Her jaws drop as she notices the slight flutter of the hawk's wings ~
Hurling away the earth from her hands, she hurriedly scoops up the portion she had sifted in earlier. She bends forward and carries Isabeau out, rocking her gently ~ "Isabeau...wake up, my darling..." ~ Struggling to hold the hawk with her right hand, she fumbles for a potion of extra healing from within her robes with her left one. Prying open Isabeau's beak, she downs the contents of the bottle into her throat... After an eternity, Isabeau's eyelids flutter open, her beady eyes staring reproachfully at Mistral; she emits a grouchy shriek. Her mistress cradles her silently, blinking her tears away. |
