Tread Carefully|Flux

[Kender Bard]

Dreamwarp waved her hand dismissively. "I heard, I heard. I'll lead the way. Boys, you guard the flanks." Smirking she turned right back around, already disappearing into the thick fog that folded in around her, leaving only a vague shape of her form.

Obviously the citizens respected her more than the newly-made priests as they began to creep back.

[Devon]

Sage nodded and followed after Dreamwarp as quickly as possible. Ryo cautiously put his sword away and followed as well. Glancing over his shoulder occasionally to see the two other priests who had come with the woman.

[tuo]

Drake shrugs and starts to follow along to guard the flank with Adam. He looks over at Sage. "So what is so freaking difficult about pulling a damn bell?"

Adam gave a small sigh but chose not to chastise Drake since he was thinking along similar lines of thought.

[Devon]

"We didn't notice the bell," Ryo muttered.

[Kender Bard]

"I hope you two have some friends on the outside," Dreamwarp responded casually. "We're not going to walk you to the gates. You belong to Flux until someone either pulls you out or you die."

[Devon]

Sage's eyebrows furrowed as she said that, "We have friends outside, but regardless we don't have time to belong to Flux." Figuring it'd be better to waste no more time with this woman and he idle remarks he took the parchment that contained the vision and handed it to her. "Take a look at that, if you can't guess what it means from that I'll explain it to you."

[Kender Bard]

Dreamwarp took the parchment and unfurled it, reading it as she walked. She made a little "Hmm" noise softly as she read before rolling it back up and handing it to him.

Her pace picked up just a little faster. "Fine, you've made your point. I'm sure Nikholas will be interested in keeping his fool neck safe. Who is the woman doing the killing?"

[tuo]

Adam blinked as he overheard that. "Huh? What did it say mistress?"

Drake also tried to move up, wanting to read it. "Who is killing what?"

[Devon]

Sage steps up his pace to keep up with Dreamwarp. "That I'm not sure of yet, but if each robe represents a Force then I just have to count all the Forces lined up in front of her. Six of the seven people represent Etaf, Efil, Soahc, Taed, Worg, and Thouth so that leaves two more people."

[Kender Bard]

Dreamwarp slips the scroll to the boys. "What the man said, seems he had a vision of all these priests lined up in front of another. The one stabbed them all."

[tuo]

Adam looked at it and frowned. "Well..that doesn't look very good..but how would anyone be able to get in to kill one of us?"

Drake shrugged. "Heh..we can have fun beating them up if they try."

[Kender Bard]

Dreamwarp grinned to herself as she walked through the gates of the Temple to Soahc. She reached out and grabbed the first acolyte she saw, catching him by the collar and ordering him to bring the high priest to her. He scampered off.

"I don't think we have much to worry about," Dreamwarp said to Sage. "You saw what a.. fine, secure place we have here. Many of us are trained in the art of weaponry of some sort as well."

[Devon]

Ryo spoke up this time to help Sage's argument. "No fortress is without a weakness. Besides the vision never said how the priests were caught. It could be outside these walls altogether. You should be on your guard." Sage sighed and nodded in agreement with Ryo, holding his hand out to take the scroll back. "I also don't know who it is doing the kidnappings, but I fear Etaf's High Priestess has already been taken. I know you think you're safe here, but please heed my warning."

[Kender Bard]

"If you need to get going, you can go and I'll tell him myself," Dreamwarp promises. She took the scroll from the boys and gave it back to Sage. "Otherwise he'll just be a little longer."

[Devon]

Sage nodded and took the scroll. "all right, we have to get to the other temples as soon as possible. Please be wary of any strangers coming here or where your High priest goes off to alone. I don't know what the woman in the vision was doing, but I know the end result can't be good."

Ryo put a hand on Sage's shoulder to calm him. "How do we get out of here?"
