ArchDruid Fiesty summons the Elements

Our brave Hobbit trio reach the target of their mission and approach the heavily guarded Druid Cottage nestled on the banks of the river among the forest directly underneath Calenhad...

Fiesty Lotus looks nervously at the guards about but they seem not to notice them and let them pass by without heed.
Ascending the steps, she pauses at the door, looks to the Rangers nervously and knocks again.

Amethyst McMahon rushes to open the door to Druid Cottage, smiling softly, the strain obvious on her face... "ArchDruid Fiesty, thank you for coming"
Fiesty Lotus smiles, "Lady Amethyst"
The young woman grasps the hand of her visitor, the anguish apparent in her voice, "Fiesty, I don't know what to do anymore... Jaek has been gone so long and I am losing hope..."
Fiesty Lotus looks up in concern before replying, "I got some good news fer ya then!"
Amethyst McMahon perks up, "you do?"
Fiesty nods , "Yes. I think I kin soften yer worries about Jaekob Faolan."
Amethyst McMahon widens her eyes, "oh Fiesty, anything at all would be such a release from the fear!"

Fiesty Lotus glances around furtively before she sneaks out a little granite statue of Copper.
Amethyst looks at the statue with interest and confusion.
Fiesty looks about for her nephew and sees he is not too near.
Amethyst McMahon frowns, "What is that now?"
The ArchDruid shields the statue with her cloak and replies, "Yer see it's a glowin?"
Amethyst McMahon nods in awe.
Fiesty goes on in a low tone, "that's cause it be tellin me he be alright"
Amethyst McMahon gasps and peers over Fiesty's shoulder at the young Hobbit Ranger, "Is it true?"
Fiesty nods slightly and puts the statue away hastily. "Don't want him a knowin!"
Fiesty Lotus dimples
Amethyst peeks out the door again and sees Copper and another Hobbit waiting a short way off...
Fiesty returns her attention to Amethyst, "Well, I kin do the same fer tha Master"
Amethyst McMahon whispers, "is that Druid magic, Fiesty?"
The powerful ArchDruid inclines her head, "Oh yes- It comes from the Earth Spirit."
Amethyst smiles, "aha, your Element ...and you can create one to show us that Jaek is safe... wherever he dwells?"
Another nod from the Hobbit, "Yes - it does that- get dimmer and brighter as he fares."
Fiesty Lotus continues "All I need you ter do is find me a metal or stone object that the King did hold and was fond of... and we kin change it into a statue of him."

Amethyst McMahon looks over Fiesty's shoulder and grins at the Hobbit lads gaping at the statuesque Elven Rangers patrolling outside, Copper inching towards the lovely blonde Elf under the Oak tree, his most charming grin in place.
Amethyst starts suddenly, "I know just the thing. Jaek has a wolf statue near the bed. I'll go fetch it!"
Fiesty Lotus looks to see what the lady is glancing at. "Boys, yer be respectful, ya hear!"

Amethyst McMahon disappears into the Cottage and returns with a dull silver coloured statue of a wolf, showing it to the Hobbit.
Fiesty Lotus, "Oh, that looks just the ticket Lady Amethyst!" She turns and descends the steps, moving towards the water's edge. "Just let me set up here."

IIrime Elven Ranger (NPC) nods to the ArchDruid and Amethyst as they pass without smiling, keeping her eyes on the male Hobbits grinning as they surround her.
Fiesty Lotus, "You come on in this here circle, Lady Amethyst."

Amethyst McMahon follows Fiesty into the circle, her strength leaving her for a moment, she sinks to the ground. Looking up at the ArchDruid, she hands her the statue and strengthened by the power emanating from the Hobbit, she rises and stands by her side.

The ArchDruid sets the bowl of water, earth, feather and candle in their proper place and speaks the circle protection chant in low tones around Amethyst and herself. Then she takes her staff in her left hand and the object in her right and digs her toes into the loamy earth. She begins her invocation to the spirit of Earth. She draws power from the earth with a chant.
Amethyst McMahon stands quite still within the circle in reverence, watching quietly and listening to the words, feeling the energy in the circle.

Fiesty Lotus recites: 
"Change is, Touch is, change IS.
Everything lost is found again
In a new form, in a new way.
Everything hurt is healed again,
In a new life, In a new day.

Touch and mold, touch and mold
This is how earth’s work unfolds,
Mend and heal, mend and heal
Take a dream and make it real"

She intones in a strong voice: "I invoke Earth Spirit to reassure this land by giving this metal the form and spirit of Jaekob Faolan, King of these Lands and Master Druid. I invoke his spirit by the love we hold for him and the Land's need."

Fiesty looks over at Lady Amethyst and nods, "you may speak with the spirit'

The Hobbit prompts the young woman who has remained silent in revery, "Ame?"
Amethyst McMahon nods, her voice shaky, "please look upon our needs at this dark time and keep our King, Druid, Aran and my Love, Protector of these Lands, safe." 
Her voice breaks and she sobs, "...bring him back to me."
Amethyst McMahon adds pleadingly: "...please"

Fiesty Lotus nods and repeats her chant. Slowly the object begins to reshape itself into the image of Jaekob Faolan. The shine becoming more pronounced as Jaekob's Life Essence is reflected in its surface.
Amethyst holds her breath and her eyes sparkle.

When the statue is complete, Fiesty draws the circle to a close and ends the ceremony.

Fiesty Lotus looks up at the Lady.
Fiesty speaks confindently, "It be pretty bright I recon!"
She hands the statue to Lady Amethyst.

Amethyst McMahon is visibly shaken.... "it is shining, oh Fiesty, he is safe!"
The ArchDruid grins.
Amethyst exclaims, "thank you so much... this will surely give hope to the citizens of the Lands."
She pauses and continues quietly, "...and I'm sure Jaek will be home soon."

Fiesty Lotus slumps, suddenly weary, "I think I will just sit down awhile iffen you don't mind."
Her breathing is shallow, "That kinda thing takes it all out of me."
Amethyst McMahon smiles at the ArchDruid and motions for her to return to the Cottage, "Come inside and have some tea, Fiesty. You must be drained."
Fiesty nods, "I thank ye lady and mebby a pint fer me boys?"
Amethyst nods and grins, "But of course!" She turns to the young Hobbit, calling, "Copper! Bring your friend into the cotttage and come have some refreshments!"
She leads the trio into Druid Cottage, smiling happily at the Elven Rangers as she passes... her heart lighter than it has been in weeks.
