Jaek Gets a Message From the Past

Fiesty Lotus comes into the infirmary.

Fiesty Lotus: How you doin Sister Fit?

Fitheach Eun sits up in bed feeling much better,

Fiesty Lotus smiles, "You do look rested."

Fitheach Eun: "I feel fine really...I need to get that message to Jaek; I think it may be important."

Fiesty Lotus: "I called the Master to come down here. He should be here any minute."

Fitheach Eun: "Oh good; I have been worrying about it."

Fiesty Lotus bustles about feeling Fits head and taking her pulse.

Fiesty Lotus: "You do seem right recovered Druid Fit."

Fitheach Eun looks impatient but appreciates Fiesty's care.

Fiesty Lotus: "I believe you kin get up now."

Fitheach Eun: "Lovely."

Jaekob Faolan steps into the infirmary, knocking the dirt from his boots as he enters. "Ah, Fit, you look much better than last eve," and he looks over to nod at Fiesty, "Vedui."

Fitheach Eun stands up slowly but does not feel dizzy.

Fiesty Lotus: G"reetins Master Druid."

Fitheach Eun: "Vedui. Master Druid."

Fitheach Eun: "I feel very much better."

Jaekob Faolan: "Greetings to the both of you," he says softly. "Are you sure you should be up hmmm?"

Fitheach Eun crosses my arms and looks stubborn; " I do feel quite recovered."

In the Infirmary......

Fiesty Lotus: "She is fit as a fiddle- her elven blood be strong."

Jaekob Faolan chuckles and offers her a small vial, "A potion I made to help with the poison hmmmm? Just in case."

Fitheach Eun takes the vial and smiles at the druid: " Thank you"

Fitheach Eun: "I did get to talk with the fae, Aran."

Jaekob Faolan raises a brow, "You found her then? Tell me what..... well.... will she take a ransom for the collar?"

Fitheach Eun: "I asked her about ransom before things ummm deteriorated...I told her it was a family heirloom. but, she did not believe me."

Fiesty Lotus: "Well, it was, in a way."

Jaekob Faolan nods, "Well certainly she would have no way of knowing differently hmm? What did she say?"

Fitheach Eun: "I thought it had the ring of truth ..."

Fitheach Eun: "Well after she threw the dagger at me,  she told me to take a message to you."

Jaekob Faolan looks at her, his features not changing, "And that is how you came to be injured? poisoned? And what was this... message?"

Fitheach Eun: "It is a strange message, Aran..."

Fitheach Eun: "Yes the dagger was undoubtedly poisoned; the wound was very slight."

Fitheach Eun: the message was: "Tell him, he shall find what he seeks where it all began."

Jaekob Faolan looks at her his face, impassive, unreadable, but he swallows hard and shifts to cant his eyes toward the northeast. "THAT is what the Unseelie said?"

Fiesty Lotus watches the Master Druid quietly.

Fitheach Eun is puzzled by the depth of the reaction and watches the druid closely: "Those were her exact words Aran."

Jaekob Faolan nods and turns his gaze back to them, looking from one to the other, "Then evil is at our door yet again, my Druid sisters. That message came from the mouth of the Drowess Arianna and I have no doubt SHE has the collar."

Fitheach Eun looks visibly startled; " Not her again..."

Fiesty Lotus: "Oh Dear."

Jaekob Faolan nods, "It would seem she is not through with me yet and now I must find a way to retrieve the collar from my worst nightmare. And, frankly, short of storming the Underdark, I have no idea."

Fitheach Eun: "Well that puts a different complexion on things...A single dark Fae is one thing, but the drowess...."

Jaekob Faolan: "And if the Drowess has the collar, no doubt the two have made some manner of evil pact..."

Fiesty Lotus: "I am gonna batten down the Shire and put folks on alert."

Fitheach Eun looks narrowly at the druid: " Tell me you are not thinking of storming that place alone?"

Jaekob Faolan: "Good idea, Fiesty. And please tell Tangles we will need him to patrol the northern borders with the rangers."

Fiesty Lotus: "Yes, I shall."

Jaekob Faolan bites his lip and chuckles, "Tell me you didn't go to Mirkwood ALONE, Fit..."

Fiesty Lotus: "Nonsense Sister Fit- we will go as a force if we need to."

Fitheach Eun smiles; " Fiesty was with me."

Fiesty Lotus looks at her feet.

Jaekob Faolan: "After the fact hmmm? As Saphira was with me after the fact, but that did not seem to impress you when you chastised me."

Fitheach Eun giggles in spite of the tension.

Fitheach Eun sighs; " Ok you have me there; but please do not attempt this thing alone."

Fiesty Lotus: "Let's jest let bygone be bygone, and agree to work together."

Jaekob Faolan: "That is not my intent. First, I will send someone to scout the areas as I sent Saphira to the Underdark. I want to know what we have to look forward to before I make any pilgrimages anywhere."

Fiesty Lotus nods.

Fitheach Eun nods, too. "That is reasonable."

Jaekob Faolan: "Do you need.... well, if everything her is settled enough, I need to journey to Calenhad and speak with the Elven Council."

Fitheach Eun: "I have no more news for you."

Jaekob Faolan: "Then with your leaves, I shall away and get the rangers on the borders. Namaarie my friends."
