Vanessa

Adglomero lets out a whoop of joy at being accepted, then realises Wyverns condition and gasps. Quickly she ran over and dug the strange figure out of all the paper before quickly dressing his wounds and then hugging him a tight thankyou. "Good luck with tax evasion

Adglomero laughed happily. "I've never had such a long talk with a demon before. Only met two though so that doesn't really mean much. Never seen a sword like that before, hope I never get on the wrong end of it." Quickly she whistled shrilly to Hiemalis who came to settle next to her. The Rocs eye glared suspiciously at the demon and let out a shrill challenge. "Oh stop that, silly. He's a friend. We'll be travelling together for some time with that lady there and with Adroniseth and I don't want you tearing the clothes or anything horrible, got me?" The Roc let out a bird-like sigh and chuckled softly into her ear. Adglomero laughed again. "There'll be other days. Now get ready, we might have some action soon." The Roc flexed it's claws and it's eyes glinted. "I thought you might feel that way." She grinned, unhooking her bow and getting ready to land on Hiemalis if she would need to fly high. "Get ready old man, there's trouble coming!"

Glancing over her shoulder at Heinrich, Adglomero quickly caught up with Silver. "I was supposed to meet Heinrich in a tavern some days back. When I got there there were strange rumours about magic. That had me worried so I went searching. I wasn't sure what to think really. Haven't seen him for so long had all my emotions jumbled." Adglomero grinned over her shoulder at Heinrich, who answered with a scowl, making her laugh. "He's always acting so grumpy and mean when he's away from-" suddenly she tripped over a root on the ground, cutting short her sentance. "Ooomph." Adglomero leapt up and laughed gaily "So much for the grace of the elves! Do you want me to keep Hiemalis under control? I don't know much about dragons so I don't know how much they like to fly, feeling the wind running through your feathers and-well, I suppose dragons don't have feathers. I'm rambling again I know, bad habit of mine. I don't get much practice with it so I talk as often as possible." And about more than you should. "Oh stop that!" She frowned over at Heinrich. "These are our friends and I'm not keeping any secrets." Just make sure you don't trip on too many more roots. Adglomero frowned. Did you make me trip over? No reply came forward, so Adglomero wandered over to look at her other new friend. "You're a demon?"

Adglomero hummed happily and looked about curiously at her traveling friends. She knew his view, but he was too quick to mistrust. Rember yourself Roc Rider a stiff voice spoke in her head. Laughing she whistled to her Roc to scout and to play hide and seek with Silvers dragon if she's flying as well

Adglomero flew slowly over the forest beneath her, the wing muscles of Hiemalis, her Roc, giving her a strong sense of power. She wasn't exactly in a hurry, but she was concerned. She had been supposed to meet him in a tavern some days ago but when she had arrived all she found was disturbing rumours of magic. Her elven eyebrows sloped into a frown as she remembered his warning. Suddenly she felt a prsence in her mind. Sorry I couldn't stay and chat. Well at least now I know you're nearby. You can't come with me on this one Adglomero, it's too dangerous. I can handle myself now, I've passed the third circle. So? She felt anger flare in her heart. So I've found you! she yelled, both through her mind contact and out loud in triumph. Hiemalis let out a shrill echoing cry and began to circle towards her friend. The Roc landed gently with only the lightest stirring of leaves as it touched the ground. Quickly she was off and running to him then suddenly stopped short is Hiemalis let out a cry of anger. Quick as a flash the bird shot away towards a hunched figure, hatred in its eyes. The robed figure Adglomero had been running to quickly uttered a bird like cry of both warning and greeting, and the Roc stopped short, looking enquiringly at the speaker. Catiously, now, Adglomero approached the figure.

Vanessa left the recruiting office, this time by loads of stairs, she didn't want to push her friend too far. When she got outside she looked around eagerly for Hiemalis. She scowled, her Roc was playing hide and seek again. Sighing she looked around and her eyes fell on a wonderful tower. (NB:This is where David/Richard stepped in and helped with the description). The tower stood tall into the sky, shimmering with marble that reflected the noonday sun with a multitude of colours. Graceful arches and buttresses supported the tower, and she wondered how such fragile seeming forms could possibly support the tower. "Probably using his all-powerful magic." She muttered under her breath. "Show-off." You still have trouble controlling your emotions I see. Vanessa started in surprise. How did you know I was here? Outside my tower? You're radiating off irritation like a human trying to get information out of an elf. The doors on the other side. Have you stolen my bird? she sent angrily across the link. Now would I do something like that? This time the message sounded slightly mocking. She's perched on the other side of my tower. Seemed to like the colours and warmth. Vanessa stalked over to the tower, trying to hold on to her irritation but gradually it faded away. She had been too long away from him, and the tower was beautiful. It seemed to radiate peace and tranquillity. As she reached the tower she gently stretched forth her hand, unsure of what she would feel but having to know. She gasped in surprise. The stone was warm and throbbed with life! The damned thing was alive! Technically.The voice was back. In actual fact the dwarfs of Karmas Moran came and built it for me, they owed me a favour. I remember. She circled the tower and came to the door. Hesitantly she pushed, and to her surprise it opened easily. She groaned wearily at the mass of stairs in front of her, then narrowed her eyes. That railing on the right... She stepped onto the first step of the stairs, closed her eyes and gently sent a mental probe onto the railing. She suddenly felt herself begin to rise, the stair twisting and turning as she moved up and up. It seemed to take a lifetime. Then finally the stairs stopped, and she opened her eyes with a satisfied smile. "Well?" She asked inquiringly at the figure that stood in front of her. "Not bad at all." Heinrich grinned. "I'm glad your time searching the lands for Hiemalis didn't diminish what I taught you." Vanessa hugged him tightly, and at was Heinrichs turn to look shocked. "That's for not helping me on my quest." She grinned. Sniffing suspiciously a foul smell of sulphur and blood reached her nose. Heinrichs blood. "You've been on the astral plane again, haven't you!" she snapped. "You know that place is forbidden to you!" Heinrich sighed. "Why don't you come on in and I can tell you about it." He strode over to his chair, which stood, at the head of an oak table littered with paper, bizarre instruments and potion ingredients she did not recognise. Casually Heinrich gestured and a chair warped into existence. It looked suspiciously like a chair from the audience room, but Vanessa decided it was better not to ask. "Fruit punch?" Heinrich inquired mildly. "Don't change the subject! Now tell me what you were doing there, risking everything. It's idiocy!" Heinrich chuckled. "Is that a trickle of steam coming out of your ears?" Before she could reply he hurriedly made a soothing gesture. "Just teasing." He smiled, and then began his tale and explanation.

Vanessa hugs Ashela thankyou and dashes off to her friends' place to say hello without telepathy. "Call me Nessy if you need a nickname." She yells over her shoulder.

Adglomero flew high up to the top of the Keep of The Pen, riding upon the back of her Roc, Hiemalis. Drawing level with the windows of the room she swore under her breath. How the hell was she supposed to get through the wall? Ordering her roc to hover she sent out a telepathic message to her friend in The Pen. Help me. I can't get in! Suddenly she felt a surge of power and the wall shimmered, enlarging just enough to allow her to climb in. "Go nest on the spires" she said to Hiemalis, before looking at her surroundings. She spotted the Wyvern immediatly-he had been well described to her. Quickly she walked over to him, her leather riding gear making no sound as she walked. As the creature looked up she froze in panic. What would he think of her manners, bursting in on him like this! Suddenly she felt a message form in her head from her contact. It seemed to be tinged with a slight trace of amusement and she had to grit her teeth not to snarl back it it. Relax. He won't hurt you. Be patient Patience is not one of my virtues! she snapped back angrily. I noticed. Now ask him before he dies of boredom or old age. Irritably Adglomero opened her mouth and her message came out all at once. "Please can I join I've been wanting to do this roleplay thing with my friend and I want to be part of this place so that I..." Realising she was rambling she blushed furiously and waited nervously for the Wyverns reply. Say one word and I'll never talk to you again She snapped at her so called friend. Now is that any way to treat someone who has helped you so much? The voice answered with a chuckle before the contact broke. Vanessa_Long2002@yahoo.com
