AlusenHasen ~AH968 mesaje#171

"I like snow myself. I see you do to. Well, to be short, I've been to places that will never die in the flames..." Ias said for the begining. "We had this... well... Crown of Winter, we call it. A palace... carved entirelly on the face of the most majestic glacier ever by the undead arachnids. I am convinced that your icy lands are superb, but you wouldn't believe that a castle could ever be made just of ice. The base, the walls, the fortifications, the gate, the chains, the doorlocks and keys, all the furniture and all the small jewels, the stairs, the paitings and carvings... even a hole garden carved in ice: trees, flowers, animals, benches, gras... and a hole river of small ice pins... ahh... The Winter Crown or Crown of Winter... a palace that has a tower that rises far above the clouds and in the deepest cold of the highs you could imagine... there, the frozen snakes of the sky dwell with the Icicles. "

Ias dreamt to a place so far away from the actual situations. Full caverns and walls and a world of fear was carved in ice in his memories. But this was not the time.

"Like any horse does, I rest standing. That's it, if none of the special occasions... I sleep if tiredness gets me once in a while. It depends... If I'm depresed I can do awfull things, hurt myself and such, and fell asleep in great pain and greater grief. Otherwise, I stand alone in sorrow and sleep... like a foal, gone in lands with no speakable name by human tongue. Lands... so far away. " Was all that Ias could say of them. "Ah, you know, those lands where you... where only you are". He found interesting that the discussion passed from fire... to ice. Who knows? What ice was all about...

"Yeah... Ice... can be... Wonderful". Drogo was having a hard time staying focused. Ias' words called up images in his mind, images that went well with the stories of his youth and mixed with real memories. He nicked off seating, with the mug still in his hand and drifted off in sleep.

Rissa slept already, the images of ice and sorrow led her to far-off lands of her childhood... and her little deep-dark secrets that were to be fufiled.

Ias stood up severe. He breath silently and watched the others. Many were already asleep. He stood liek a tombstone over all others, his eyes shining bright in the fires - betraing a deep fear, a far-away look, something dread, that only a nekorrim as he could ever be able to show. His blank stare was weird.

Duro'than ate half a rabbit and some crackers washed down with a cup of tea. Then he took out from his bag a blanket which he set on the ground behind one of the covers he made and wrapped himself in his fur.

He wasn't really tired as he hadn't made any real effort by his standards but he went to sleep anyway to conserve energy just in case. He somehow trusted Thorn to stand guard and also noticed that Ias wasn't sleepy either. There was something magnificent about the wizard but something very terifying too. A few hours later he woke up. It was still dark. He got up and walked towards Thorn. The short rest fully restored his forces and the chill of the night kept him quite alert.

"Mind if i keep you company?".Before Thorn could answer he sat down next to him watching the snowflakes gently falling to the ground.

"Beautiful night" he said almost to himself not really caring if a reply came or not.

Thorn had heard the hushed conversation of his companions dying off, as almost each of them went to sleep. Ias was the only one who seemed not to need that. He has moved several steps away, close enough to hear what was going on on the other side of their little camp, but far enough to be alone with his thoughts.

He listened intently, but all he heard were the sounds of the night. He was watching the stars slowly creeping over the skies as the night waned on. Far away in his mind, he still saw images of fire. Dancing fire, laughing fire, flowing around a... he perked his ears hearing movement, but it was only the Barbarian shifting in his sleep before he finally got up and came to join him.

Thorn shrugged. "No, not really." He grinned. "Would it really have made a difference?"

By the time the barbarian got up, Ias wasn't there anymore. He vanished as soon as everybody was asleep and simply dissapeared into the shadows. No move or winds was there to announce any move however. The horse was in the snow, and as swift as ice, his image was gone from the dying flames of the fire. However, he wasn't far, in fact, he didn't even leave the place - maybe only his will. His body was however very well protected by his enchanted cloak of darkness than had a strange aura in the presence of the natural element itself. Night was his best guard... in the absence of death.

Everybody else seemed silent.

Angy was sitting in the snow , watching the moon and the stars.

She slightly noticed the conversation , she wasn't really interested. Her eyes filled up with tears as thoughts were running through her head. She missed someone more than anything else . But life goes on , and she knew that very well...however...

She turned her head and saw the barbarian and Thorn. She stood up , wiped her tears , and walked towards Duro'than and Thorn.

"May I join your conversation?"

Asfaloth10.647 mesaje#178

Thorn shrugged. When he had something to say, he usually said it, regardless of what it was and whom it concerned. When he didn't feel like talking, he didn't talk. He considered such questions rather unnecessary. He smiled amused. It was interesting how out in the wilderness, people preserved manners acquired in posh city societies.

"Suit yourself. But there's not much conversation going on" he added, as the shrug could have been interpreted either way.

"It seems like you're not in your best mood Thorn." *Neither am I* she added in her mind.

Asfaloth10.647 mesaje#180

Thorn raised an eyebrow. "I am no kind of mood whatsoever. I was just remembering some...thing."
