*The High Lord enters lady Shaylars Chambers.*


Hello Lady Shaylar...what is it that you need?

My Lord I need you to listen to an idea of mine and I need you to do something that must stay a secret

*Nods.*


Your secrets are safe with me lady Shaylar.

well my lord I'm an alchemist as was my father and we were working on a semi living metal, it had many uses it could bond with it's master, for instance if a weapon were made of it and certain items blended during forging the weapon could not be used to kill it's owner, also I think i could extend the life of a weapon as it were, you know metal rust's and corrodes I may have a spell that could extend it's life

*looks at the floor*

the same one that extended mine, I do not want anyone else to see it or know it's true meaning, that is why I need your promise my Lord

I promise I won't let anyone else to see it.


*Ponders.*


Hmmmm....


Go on....

*Hands parchment and a quille to Craxus*

It's branded into my back, my father did it before he left for the war, he needed me to look after the villagers so he increased my life tenfold, the only drawback is the spell has to be a part of the person it's being used for, if it's being used for an object the parchment can be added as a spell ingredient, I need you to copy it off my back

Are you sure m'lady?

Yes my Lord it's why I asked you to do it I can rely on your discression

*Turns her back, unfastens the laces on her robe and slips it down her arms just far enough to reveal the runes branded below her shoulders*

**

*The High Lord puts his hand up onto her back, feeling the texture of her skin.*


Ok....


*The high lord grabs ahold of a quill and parchment and begins to write down the runes.*

*Gasps at the touch of the High Lord on her skin, bows her head so he can't see her blush*

*Continues writing taking heed of her reactions.*

*Voice Trembles*

Are you nearly done My Lord

*Finishes.*


Yes of course I am finished now.

Th.....thank you my Lord

*Slips the robe over her shoulders and fumbles with the laces

Thank you again for doing this I will go to the Alchemist's room and start making a metal that will hepl us in our struggle

*Gets flustered with the laces*

I......I couldn't help but overhear what went on in the chamber, I have to say defence of the city is of the upmost importance if the darkness ever entered the city and took posession of the guild, I dread to think what will happen, be fore we attack them we must fortify the city

*Laces get tangled*

Damn

*A tear falls*

You seem a little frustrated? Something the matter...?


Calmness....


It is the best weapon a Magician can weild. Calm your mind and you will win. Why do you tremble?

*Takes a deep breath and tries to calm her mind*

My Lord, I do not know why I react so, I'm shy I guess

It's ok...just get to know people and you will not be so shy.


The Magicians Guild is to get you to love your fellow magicians, to fight along side of them, and if need be die along side of them.

I know, I'm ok in a crowd it's just in................intimate situations like this I panic
