h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

~~I shall come right away Shylar... nothing else to do anyway~~

grandfather your staying here....

*walks through a portal to the guild*

~~~Thanks Alicia~~~

*steps into the realm through a gate to reality fending off the spirits that would enter and sealing the portal behind herself*

*walks to the gates and along the banks of what is currently a swift stream*

only place for a necromancer...
*sigh*
All i asked for was friendship.. but i destroyed trust....
Why am i such a fool...

FAREN PAWEL I KNOW YOUR HERE!
*silence*

damn you why do you never answer...

[faren] you said you would wait... have you taken a new love Alicia...?

you... you are here... i never...

[faren] Alicia please... It took so much stregnth not to answer you in the past... but i sence a greator need now...

you... could say that faren... I... I betrayed a friend, and.. you... I... lost quoth and i lost hope...

[Faren] Alicia I can not expect you to wait for a deadman... you have not betrayed me... may i ask who?

Lycan....

[Faren] THE CARETAKER!!! I thought you had better taste than that Alicia...

Faren please... it... was a mixture of different circumstances... but thats not important... what am i to do Faren? the guild... my friends... hate me... how can i return?

[Faren] those who are truely your friends will forgive you in time Alicia... they will not watch you make yourself suffer for... a mixture of different circumstances

you dont understand Faren... Lycan should have been out of bounds... he was with Elandra... I should have... stoped...

[Faren] even she might forgive you... but it will take a lot of time... and possably a bump on the head

dear me Faren... death does you no good at all...

[Faren] but by the sounds of it... its a lot quieter here

you know Faren I... got rid of the things i had kept... reminders...

[Faren] Gosh woman you dont make it easy on yourself... what is this, make yourself feel as guilty as possable? you have to find your feet again Alicia... why d'you come and visit anyway?

well... as you said its a lot quieter here than it is in life...
I.. needed time to think... i guess its my limited privalage for being high necromancer...

[Faren] I have herd you talking though, half the time you hate being a necromancer the other half your nothing but... theres never a middle ground is there?

there was never a need for one Faren... it was eather right or wrong good or bad... friend or foe... there was never a middle ground...

[Faren] but why alicia? why is there never a grey a lessor evil a comerade that wont stab your back but wont risk themselves to help you eather...

because... I dont need a middle ground... I am... a necromancer...

[Faren] Oh do shut up... your a necromancer... I didnt care and i dont think for one moment that anyone else really does...

You should have cared... I could have taken you from here once... but its been too long hasnt it...

[Faren] you cant bring the unwilling back to a free life Alicia.... you know as well as i do... better indeed...

why do you have to be understanding? why cant you be cold hearted and cruel just this once?

[Faren] I never was in life, I wont make an exeption just because I'm dead...

I better head back to life then Faren...
I leave you to your peace...

[Faren] Call when you need the spirits Alicia... we shall guide you when you need us most...

thankyou...
Fairwell
*Alicia dissaperes from the realm in a swirl of magic*

<*starts plotting SOMEHOW to get Faren to be alive, and on Elandra's side*

He's so COOL! >

*apperes in death again standing in the first presinct before the first of the nine gates*
*the river of death flows swiftly around her anckles*
*draws her sword and the third (of 7) bells before walking forward making sure that nothing is close enough to harm her*

*keeps walking till she comes to the gate and says the spell so she can pass through unharmed as she does so many spirits appere around her, long dead friends, her parents all fade but one, Faren*

[Faren] Back again Alicia?

I'm serching for someone... care to help?

[Faren] how far do you plan to go?

to the ninth presinct if i must.....

[Faren] but so close to the final gate... you should not Alicia, you wont be able to resist it...

I might... I must try, every necromancer must face it at least once

[Faren] normaly only once there dead

*both go through the gate*

*walking through the second presinct towards the second gate*

So Faren... still dead i see....

[Faren] and you still live Alicia, not much changes

there is no time for it to do so

[Faren] not here... no time is meaningless here, but you should not be here I know

what makes you say that Faren?

[Faren] oh just a guess,

Answer me planely for once!

[Faren] are you going to call the gate or die in that waterfall?

*says the magic word to let them pass through the second gate*

*runs through the third presinct quickly*

Faren tell me what makes you say that I shouldnt be here, I'm a necromancer I can come and go as I please

[Faren] You married the caretaker...

That dosnt mean I cant come here.... and how did you know?

[Faren] the ring for one,

anyway that dosnt explain why I shouldnt come here if I wish!

[faren] I am sure he will not think so

He is not my master, only my husband

[Faren] yet you are willing to die to find him?

whats wrong with that?

[Faren] you never seem to learn do you

Learn what

[Faren] That you can die here too, that its not about you

I know that, I'm here for Lycan

[Faren] but you should not be, your here for yourself in part, I can tell from your voice

sometimes I really hate you

[Faren] shame its not more often I might get some peace

*walks through the third gate*

You know Faren I never forced you to follow me around
why dont you go back to wherever you were?

[Faren] and stop watching the little necromancer, oh no

I'm not a little necromancer I'm...

[Faren] Oh dont tell me your high necromancer and wife of the high caretaker, a lycanthrope and a few other things

what other things?

[Faren] I'm not going to tell you

Why do you have to be so stuborn?

[Faren] death does these things

~~~Why is it that everytime I meditate or attempt my magic it draws me here? Even in my dreams, something here beckons for me to quest my answer. I'm just an apprentice, why me? This is frightening...~~~

~~Interesting yet you are not a necromancer.... I shall have to have words with your master...~~

~~~Lady Shaylar informed me to speak with the scholars, maybe it's only my dreams and my lack of control over my magic~~~

[Faren] you shouldnt be here Alicia

silence faren, I dont need you to lecture me on this place, I've been here many times,

[Faren] only as far as the fith gate i beleve, I shall not let you go on

You cant stop me...

[Faren] can't I?

you wouldnt dare....

[Faren] you seem very sure....

Faren dont...

[Faren] I have friends here that... can make you leave

I hate you you..... dead thing!

[Faren] fair well Alicia, till we meet again,

*a ring surrounds Alicia about it can be seen many runic symbols a flash of magic later and she dissaperes*

*Syian moves in front of Lumien*

*Casts a shield in front of herself, Syian, and Shaylar.*

I don't know if it'll do any good, but it can't do any harm...

*Nick's flaming sword pierces the darkness and Syian swears in several languages*

~~Do you have a sword?~~

~~I do~~

*Draws the short sword Elandra had forged for her.*

It's different when you catch me prepared, Nick!
