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

Ah thanks Polo, now Elwyn takes some tongs and we'll start dipping the arrowheads into the Ivy Mash

*Grabs a pair of tongs and helps with the arrowhead dipping*

I can see you being a great help here and in the Smithying chamber

*there is no sign of the entity anywhere*

~~Do you remember these people...their deaths, my lady?~~

*images of the guards Syian killed flash before Shaylar*

*Shudders*

Yes I do remember, casualties of war, I spoke at their funerals, I am stronger than you remember

~~Kazinishi, Please Help me, Nick is back~~

~~I have seen them in death, I know of another who has been to death seeking them~~

Anyone I know?

~~I can take you to her, my lady~~

*although she can see nothing, Shaylar gets the impression Nick is making a mocking bow*

Go on then, I know I'm going to regret this, Elwyn if you do not here from me in one hour, raise the alarm, find anyone on the High Coucil the High Healer and tell them that Nick has returned

*a portal opens to the High Tower*

~Nick? How are you still here? Anubis should have devoured your soul long ago.~

Shaylar, wait. Do you really trust this guy, after what he did to Syian and tried to do to you and Lumien?

*Enters the portal*

Remember Elwyn, if you do not hear from me in one hour tall the high council that Nick has returned

<>

~~~Shaylar, can you hear me? Are you there?~~~
*pauses in dipping the arrowheads, and went off in search of the High Council*

*Follows, just in case.*

*Thurin stands there in frustration*

[Thurin] Damn it woman, why do you have to run off and put yourself in danger like this?

*Thurin sits down and looks worried*

*Katriana stands, rather at a loss, gazing out a window with a deep furrow between her brows*

Would anyone like to explain what just happened? Or was it as terrible as I actually thought?

I, too, am confused.

~~Polo can you tell Thurin I am safe, Lumien and Syian are here with me, I love him and will come back to him, and tell Kazinishi we need his help in the High Tower, we need him to expel Nick to the 9th gate~~

*walks in with some carving tools, sits down on the ground, picks up some wood and makes arrow shafts for the ivy dipped copper arrowheads, her frown relaxed slightly since her work soothed her greatly*

Shaylar asked me to tell Thurin that she is safe, Lumien and Syian are there with her and that she loves him and will come back to him, and I also need to tell Kazinishi they need his help in the High Tower to expel Nick to the 9th gate. Any idea where any of those people are?
