Ronnie melody and the crew had traveled a full day just at the base of the mountain was a small travellers rest. With a fresh water spring.Melody was working on building a fire while perhaps others were setting up tents.
Ronnie lets out a light sigh as the group consisting of him Melody, BRdgford the Map Maker and the driver of their carriage were on the journey that has taken them to the base of the mountain. Ronnie had walked of deciding it would be good to scout the area. The builder also decided to look around as he wanted to survey the unfamiliar lands. The driver of the carriage just stayed with the horse feeding him as he watched Melody work on building the fire. |

It didn't take long for melody to have a nice cooking fire cooking. And she stayed close to the camp may be to catch a few small animals for dinner and forage. This was mostly to save on rations. Since they were following an old slave trade route. The roads were nice and clear out. But it wasn't exactly mapped. By anyone proper anyway.
Once her traps were set up melody was forging for any early spring herbs and mushrooms. Her hand brushed along the top a crudely crafted iron talisman attached to the leather neck strap that was long past rotted
She held her silence for a moment. Before or if slaves were branded they were tagged. She picked it up in her hand-picked away the years if dirt to see if she recognized the tag name. She let out a little grunt of recognition then laid it back down in its place.
Some time later during the setting of the cooking fire Ronnie would return after his recon work was done. He looks around, "Seems like Bridford is still out exploring this area, I hope he don't get in any trouble. He shakes his head thinking talking to himself was a bit weird. He looked a bit ahead and he saw Melody fiddling with some kind of talisman. He tilts his head as she put it down. Ronnie approached her and said, "What that thing was no good or something?"

Melody
She looks at him " it was a slave tag, that was either dropped or it marks a grave or death point. The tag may not even be in service anymore..slave trading is quite the cut throat business "
Her traps had managed to catch three rabbits and she went about preparing them. "Is the area secure?"
Ronnie Breteuil
Ronnie listens to her attentively, he didn't have a wealth of knowledge about the slave business and how it operated. He just heard stories and read some books but was never sure about how accurate his sources was on the subject area. "I see." Ronnie would nod his head as she asked him if the area was secure, "Yes and I have set my light signals around, so if any surprises come they will find it difficult to go unnotice. Only thing so far is some annoying birds occasionally being noisy, but I think this area is somewhat tamed, but then again after seeing this, I think I might stay the watch at when night fall. Don't know how much dangerous things might get out here after late at night.
Melody
She smiles and nods "judging by the tree growth and grass growth and no smell of feces.. I would say this hasn't been used in the very least if 5 years. Most of your attacks from mountain tribes of orcs or goblins will come along the narrow passages. Where they can trap us from either side, at least that is how they used to do it. They may not watch their passages as much as they used too, if they have been abandoned "
Ronnie Breteuil
Ronnie listens to her, "Well hopefully they have abandoned it considering it seems to have been abbandoned, but obviously we can't drop our guard and expect the unexpected and not rule out other potential threats roaming about."

She gave him a soft smile " You are right as always darling " she gave him a little wink while she was at it. Once dinner was cooked she kept the fire going for light and set up a few torches along where animals and other things might think to enter. To scare them off.
________________________________________
Ronnie gazes at the sky as he notices it was getting late. He would see Bridgford come around and he would ask, "Err is dinner ready I am hungry." Ronnie chuckles some, "I believed the food is about ready, then it will be bedtime for everyone we will have a big day tomorrow this probable be the most relax we will get to be.

Melody served everyone. Then herself. It was quite delicious spring mushrooms and other-other things. Melody smells the air it wouldn't be long before the others could smell it. It was the smell of burning flesh, the sound of mourning and before them an incorporeal scene. Where a certain memory had placed itself of what once happened forever burned into the land. The scene only played once... as a few dead bodies their tags that were being ripped off. one had dropped in the place..where melody had found it. the scene ended once the bodies were stacked on the funeral pyre.
Melody closed her eyes and took Ronnie’s hand " we should cleanse the land and mark it cleansed in the name of light and the purge "

Ronnie would look around as he would see all the carnage that happened long ago." Ronnie turns to Melody and nods, " I will summon our best cleansers to come here ASAP, this place will probably take some time to cleanse, just so much pain." Suddenly Bridgford begin to get creeped out, "Man I hope we aren't here long, I don't want to end up like the others, will we end up like them?"

Melody assured him he would not. She explained the scene was like a rift a time, a memory of the land that had long since passed she nodded to Ronnie " yes I think it would be best " that would be the most excitement from at least ghosts and their ghostly memories they would see that night.
________________________________________
The Rider was quiet throughout the whole scene. He would then look at Ronnie, "Should I send word for you." Ronnie looks at him, " Yes, I will be watch, you summon our messenger dragon, so that he could send word, they will probable arrive sometime tomorrow." Ronnie watches as Melody tried to assure Bridgford he won't be devoured by ghosts.
________________________________________
Melody listened and nodded she was pleased. That it would be taken care if so quickly. " we should return before summer we should go through and sacrifice the orc and goblin tribes that live in the mountain to the purge," she had a little fire in her eye. "If they have not left, that way this road will never be used for slavery again at least in our life time."
" Let it be known the innocent lives shall not have died in vain "

Ronnie closes his eyes and smiles some." Bridgford smiles, " yes let the purge kill off those abominable monsters, how they can be so callous, I will not understand." Ronnie speaks, " Well we will have to locate them first, " like you said we do not know if they are around, but they will know no mercy if they cross our path."

She kissed Ronnie lightly since he was taking first watched and she went into their tent to settle down for the night.
________________________________________
Ronnie returned the kiss and would rise up and begin the first watch." His eyes would glean into the area. He would keep his senses sharp; Fortunately that night would be pretty tamed.
________________________________________
The next morning she would help clean up the camp
________________________________________
Ronnie would be sitting down somewhat resting after the long night of standing watch. The Rider and Bridgford would help Melody gather the things, "I suppose now the real journey begins."
________________________________________
Melody also helped to pack, get things going before they left, however. She would hold a tiny funeral for the woman whose necks held the slavery talisman. And she would bury it the ground. Being sure to transfers the symbol onto paper so she could later on find out if he was still working and destroy him too if necessary. she also felt a little sick to her stomach that morning but shrugged it off to the events of the morning and last evening. " you should sleep more in the back of the wagon at least a few more hours "

Ronnie listens to her concerns, "Hmm, I suppose you are right, I am sure you and the others can handle yourself, but if trouble arises wake me up." Ronnie would get in the wagon in a spot to rest. Bridgford and the rider will get in their location and will prepare to venture into the mountains. Just before setting off the driver would set off a messenger dragon that he had been working on through the early morning.

Melody would sit on the back end of the wagon and use her body to keep the morning sun off Ronnie’s face so that he could sleep more soundly. The few morning hours he needed she woke up an hour or two before the middle of the day. Where they would look for a spot on the road to eat. And rest the horses. " up ahead if my memory is correct there is small stream that rubs through the mountain it feeds the spring below. "

Ronnie would stretch his arms up as he noticed the surroundings, "Hmm, this place seems rather nice." He nods his head some as he would let the driver take care of the horses, "Hmm, I guess we can see if we can catch some fish then."

She nods and smiles so far so good though she was careful to watch up above them for any signs of scouts. And just for safety reason she advised everyone to stay as quit as possible for the journey so as not to bring any unwanted attention. And made a small smokeless fire by using very small twigs. And feeding the fire slowly. To cook the fish.
________________________________________
Ronnie and the others would heed her words, but will find him looking up and Ronnie would say, "hmm, there are birds around here, and why do they look familiar......"
________________________________________
She would look up she knew Bertha used to use birds to keep watch for her. She used this road quite often. She wondered if her magick still lingered. She looked up to see what kind they were. She would tell Ronnie of what she knew of berthas use of birds to spy but she was mostly unfamiliar with magic. And its uses
________________________________________
Ronnie blinks, " I see, but you don't seem to recognize them, but you may be right, I think we are being watched by someone, we better be careful we could very well get ambushed soon."
________________________________________
She nods to him she didn't recognize the birds but depending on who they belonged too it could be old magic. Or it could be the ones who owned the library's. But she was sure to clean everything up for. The camp. Making sure that nothing was left behind. That someone could use against them. She was sure to stay in high alert.

Ronnie nods his head as he speaks, "Well we are heading to the library without stopping and hopefully we won't deal with whatever trouble may be coming our way, I never expected to arrive to the library without a hitch, because rarely is anything easy."
________________________________________
She smiles to.him and nods " especially on this old cursed road. "She took up the back again. Watching behind them and along the tops of the narrow passages.

Ronnie would pay attention to the birds more to see how they were moving and was wondering if he could figure out if the birds just happen to be going in their direction or if they are receiving and giving information, "Hmm, very peculiar."
________________________________________
Melody did not like the use of magic it was something strange and foreign to her. She didn't like it most times and was very superstitious of it. She didn't co side Ronnie's light magick it just something he had something that could be transferred. A took to be used to cleanse the world of evil.
________________________________________
Ronnie rubs his chin, "Well if it's magic it can't be dark magic, because I am not feeling a dark presence coming from them or in the area, they could be ordinary birds or trained birds, well unless there is some other kind of force at work." Ronnie looks ahead, "Well we are almost at the library."
________________________________________
Just before the library they enter a very forested area. Melody looks shocked " this area used to be completely barren. " it wasn't long then before shuffling of branches and tiny giggling would be heard and the horses would start to whiney a bit and small pine cone would fall on Ronnie’s head

Ronnie notices Melody being shocked, "Something." Ronnie stopped as she began to explain that this place was different, "I see, so there is something here, so much for a easy trip to a library to find simple...." Ronnie rubs his head and looks up to see where the pine cone fell from, "Hmm."
________________________________________
More light tinkling of giggles and sometimes a small being could be seen. The trees seemed to move sometimes the road would sometimes feel like it was turning in circles " tricksters" melody would say out loud. " now i definitely know this place is clear of orcs or goblins"
________________________________________
Ronnie blinks some, " Tricksters, so are they the one's that are watching and targeting us,, must be pretty formidable if they drove out t the orcs and goblins."
________________________________________
She shakes her head " they don't have to.be formidable, they could if they wanted too keep us taking this forest till we died of old age."she said they crossed the same fork in the road for the 5th times " they are masters of trickery and mischief , why use brute strength when you are more clever " she smiled "from what I have read..they like offerings either gold, anything shiny or fruit...or any gift that is truly from your heart "

________________________________________
Ronnie motions a hand, " Having an enemy that is tough to deal with is formidable, as you said sometimes being formidable isn't just being physically or mana powerful, just being hard to beat." He sighs some, "Dang these guys remind me of that annoying Chameleon, he does annoying stuff like this." He sighs, " So what they are going to keep doing this to us until we give them an honest offering?"
________________________________________
She nods her head. And motions for the party to stop. She takes off a necklace. And lays it beside a tree explaining that it was her mothers. And the only thing she left from her former life as a child. And then she recalls a story from her childhood about her mother .as she does so the rustling and the giggling stop as they listen. To melody in her singing voice recall the story." My mother laugh sounded like bells to me it was always bright and tingly. One day I asked her if she were a fairy because she seemed to know everything. She told me she only answered the best way she knew how, and that when I grew older I would not need her as much, as a child I protested and I said I would always need her. ...she took her hands and cupped my chin softly and said nothing remains the same except for the vast blue sky.. That evening i lost my mother. She had died in her sleep "
________________________________________
Ronnie blinks and frowns some at her having to give up something important to her just to appease these selfish and annoying Y Tricksters. Unfortunately Ronnie wasn't familiar enough withe their kind of magic and was forced to just wait it out. The driver looked confused and hopes Melody plan worked just as Bridgford did. They all remain quiet as they entrusted Melody with their freedom.

Soon the trees cleared and the road stopped circling and the library was in sight again. It was also very late in the evening now almost dusk.
________________________________________
Ronnie looks around and sighs, "So, they got us when we were so close, what jerks, will really need to figure them out in the future, gotta be a better way to deal with them. Ronnie frowns at Melody, "Sorry you had to give up your memento for those creatures."

As melody had finished her story and why the simple necklace was important. A gift of the heart you could say the path cleared and library was is view. There was a place to tie the horses. And water them.. A place to camp over and a wooden sign..painted with a message...'.no faye trickters allowed..' then you can see where somebody else with a different kind of paint crossed out the word no.

Ronnie sighs some as he didn't know how he felt at Melody having to give up something important to press forward. Ronnie didn't bring any valuables that he could give away. He nods to himself knowing he will have to make it up to her latr. Ronnie looks at the sign, "I am guessing Bertha didn't like them Faye tricksters either. He tilts his head, "Do you think those Tricksters been around here, maybe they are still around somewhere."

Ronnie turns and decides to go into the library, deciding not to wait for the possible Faye to come in. The map maker was th first to enter. The driver also went in after arriving after tying the horse up to the location. Ronnie hums, "I wonder what the faye wants, probable trouble."

Once everyone inside the gone inside " he mumbled something about stupid pixies and there stupid tricks. He then turns around looking the entire group over " now now hello no one comes to a library just for fun...what are we looking for?"
Ronnie BreteuilYesterday at 5:50 PM
Ronnie chuckles some, "Speak for yourself, I use to sneak off to the library back at home for fun. Well our main objective is to find information about the secret elven village that you off heard about that may give us clues how to get there. Do they have the books organized.

The gnome arches one brown" texts about secret eleven villages hmm. Well they wouldn't be very secret if there are books about them.... Sorry you traveled so far just to.find out we don't carry secret books about secret villages."
Ronnie BreteuilYesterday at 5:58 PM
ROnnie tilts his head, "Well some elven villages have most traces of it removed from most places. I know Bertha is the type to have information about places that not many people know about. In any case you do have books here on elven villages do you not, even one's that may not be so secret?"
AnslieYesterday at 6:04 PM
He chuckles again " well now your getting more specific, but still not quite specific enough ...bertha that's a name and a face inhave seen in a long time. " he rubs his beard.." Follow me then. He leads them to a spot in the library. Books in cases from the ceiling to the floor and stacked up.everywhere in between " there you go books on elven villages that aren't secret."
Ronnie BreteuilYesterday at 6:10 PM
Ronnie listens to the gnome talk before following him with company. Ronnie asks, "Any of these books happen to contain maps or information about where these elven villages may be located?" Ronnie begins to peer through the titles of the books to see what kind of books do they have.

Ronnie BreteuilYesterday at 6:28 PM
Ronnie looks over to Melody, "Hmm, do you have any clues of what kind of elven village we should look for?"

She nids she had slight bit more information " we has heard rumour of ancient elven ruins...in the forest once known as Imle Caelora.." She of course butchered the elven name because she didn't speak only rotated the information that she had hear
The gnome visably cringed as she pronounced the name " that is the worst pronunciation i have ever heard, but regardless yes..i do have a few books on these ruins and map of the last person that bothers to look for them about 300 years ago..so it shoukd be fairly current "
Ronnie BreteuilYesterday at 7:07 PM
Ronnie blinks and begins to think he should let Melody do the talking more as she seems to get things done, even if her pronunciations are bad, but he wouldn't say anything about it, mainly because it was irrelevant as long as we get a clue. Ronnie strokes his chin, "Wonder if the person ever found the ruins, oh well 300 years ago, that was about around the time my clan was being formed, oh well, I am sure there is no relation as elves were never on my family to do list, at least I don't think they were." He shakes his head at distracting thoughts as he said, "Oh yeah, where are those books." Ronnie seemed happy that they had a lead.
AnslieYesterday at 7:16 PM
The gnome went off and came back with two or three books and a map luckily he just shook his head about to Ronnie's ranting he then took A hold of Ronnie's face turning it this way and that " no elven bone structure so its doubtful.

Ronnlie blinks at the Gnome grabbing ahold of his face and responds, "he....." He blinks as he confirms that he isn't elven, which rules out any past breeding with elves, but Ronnie also wonders allainces, but that may be unlikely as alliances usually lead to breeding, maybe distant allies, well that would beirrelevant. Ronnie laughs a bit and grabs back of his head, "Thanks for clearing that up, MR.. Er what is your name mr. Gnome?"
AnslieYesterday at 7:24 PM
" you can call me Orville..jusr Orville " he winks.." I'll be at the front.if you need me for anything else .and 300 years ago is when the ruins were re discovered the village was probably stopped being active a few Millennia before that. " " happy hunting "

He goes back silent." Ronnie motions and says, "This is melody, but you probable already know that." Ronnie claps his hand, "Ok, guys lets get to reading and see if we can find anything about a power source. and maybe a location to this place."
AnslieYesterday at 7:29 PM
" he looks at Ronnie " why would i know who melonie is "
Ronnie BreteuilYesterday at 7:34 PM
Ronnie shrugs, "Well, it's just that she.. you know what it isn't important, thanks for everything." Ronnie goes to look through the books, "Power sources....power sources..."
AnslieYesterday at 7:42 PM
He looks at Ronnie rather strangely an takes off..." The books would tLk about the culture and other things. What it's trades were. What they could tell from the ruins anyway. And then it talking briefly about in one of e the books them being slight tecnigical advanced culture of elves gaing a certain power from electric kind of crystal.

Ronnie points, "There, that electric crystal, that must be it. from what I read about it, it should have sufficient power to power the part of the ship that I need it ito, and perhaps more, now just got to find out where the village is or if anything happened to the crystal, be a pain to get there and the Crystal is no longer there."

"well the only way to tell is to travel there.....we shoukd be able to pass through the pixie forests again with out much trouble.. And our mapmaker shoukd be able to compare the two maps and give us a fairly accurate directions "
