Inconsistency
"Well that is
certainly strange..." /What
is?/ Tundra looked over at Icehawk as he spoke.
Icehawk scratched his chin and turned in the chair toward Tundra. The two
were sitting in the cockpit of the FreonIIC.
Icehawk had just completed a telepathic conversation using his crystal
with yet another Apostle of Sune. "Tundra,
do you remember that gnome I made that crystal for?"
/Rhea? Sure, you nearly knocked yourself out
in the process. If not for-/ "I
can't find her anywhere." Icehawk cut off
Tundra's bragging. /What do you mean?/
Tundra blinked as he looked at Icehawk. "Ive
made inquiries everywhere. Even the members of her order dont know where
she is and no ones seen her recently. I meant to see how the crystal was
working out for her, so I started asking around casually, but no ones seen
her." Icehawk puzzled for awhile. It was true.
He had asked Tenchi, Hravngud, and Gazrielle, but in fact every Sunite
he spoke to was at a loss to know where she was. Hed been asking around
for a couple days. Why would she go somewhere without telling even her
fellows? Strange happenings indeed. He stood, stretching his legs, then
left the cockpit, walking further aft in the ship. /Where
we going?/ Tundra asked, nonchalantly following.
"Well as I do with all my inventions, I imbue
a magical essence, a signature if you will, that marks it as mine. The
crystal I gave her is no different. Maybe I can scrye the crystal's location."
Icehawk entered the field lab, walking to a silver bowl filled with a strange
liquid. Carefully bringing it off the shelf, he set it lightly to counter-top.
/Well it's worth a shot... Are you worried?/
"The situation smacks of something dark. I
am not particularly worried, just curious."
He took his spellbook from bag he had dropped in the room earlier. Opening
it to the spell he needed, he gestured over the bowl. He chanted the spidery
words of magic, letting the Weave carry his spell. Completing the chant,
he stared into the bowl, concentrating on the specific crystal, willing
to know its location. Tundra hopped up, his front paws on the countertop,
and looked into the bowl as well. "Well let's
see..."
