Seline's journal pg 12

Monday, 1st day of Ches Well journal here we are again... Learned a few things since last we spent time together.. Created a new mage spell.. Variation of the priest's Mystra's Insistance Now I can do something if needed about Wynd or Jhinta. If I have help.. Altho the cost is tremendous on the caster.. Literally takes almost all of one's essence to use it. And seriously changes one in ablities. *ooc forces reroll* I used one in the process of creating it.. And now The weave is even stronger in me.. Just the knowledge of how to use it.. Is ... Gone like a cast spell. Then as I am wandering thru Market square, looking for new components. I see a notice from one called Mirage she desires to destroy a magic item Well... I Know that that is forbidden by Mystra.. so I had to do something. I can't believe she just Transported something that dangerous to someone she didn't even know!! Obviously, she was the wrong person to guard it. Then when I found that without it she would die without it, simpleminded as she is, she didn't deserve that so, remembering that the Clone spell is basically a different version of what happened to her, I had to do fast research into the Clone spell and Gem of Spirit holding spells to trasfer her spirit from the key into a gem. Mystra smiled on my efforts and everything worked out well. I got the gem to her just as she was about to pass over to Sune's kingdom...and as she died, the gem activated She appears to have made it thru alright.. The key is safely stored and will remain so till I speak with Simbul. Till later, Journal..

Freedom

Mirage sat in her clanhall, a sense of worry overcoming her, not a soul had responded yet to her query and she was wondering if anyone even cared. The waters of the healing pool usually relaxing to her did nothing for her now, her face buried in h er hands she began to cry. Just then a voice suddenly appeared in head, someone she did not know.... A woman's voice... Mirage lifted her head and looked around wondering if she was losing her mind, tears still fresh on her face.... The woman, a follower of Mystra announced herself as Seline. "Let me see the key, I think I know of a way to help you but I must see it to be sure." the lady seemed very genuine in her ways. Mirage agreed to send her the key, she cast a transportation spell on it and soon enough Seline had the key. She could tell that what was said was true, the key indeed was magical..... And what is magical is forbidden to be destroyed and so Seline informed Mirage of her intent. "All will be taken care of, the key is in good hands now" Mirage became furious, what did she mean it was in good hands? Does this woman not know what that key is? Mirage could feel her spirit waning... She went t o Market Square. Mirage looked around angrily her heart beating with a loud thumpo deep within her chest, her anxiety growing, as now she had come into a mantal arguement with Seline, informing her that her essence was in that key and that she would die if it was not returned to her. Seline wanted the key kept hidden secret, she wanted Mystra to handle it, Mirage simply could not accpt that, there was too much potential for the key to end up in wrong hands. Mirage continued her struggle with Seline grappling over who was going to deal with the key, who would hold it... In the end though, Mirage became ever weaker.... And Seline won out the conversation. Seline decided that she knew of a way to help Mirage with her essence, remove it from the key and place it into another entity.... Mirage at this point just agreed to do anything but still wanted her key back. She insisted right to her near death that the key return to her, but with Seline busy at work with cloning the essence of the key and placing it into a gem , her insistance turned almost on deaf ears... In truth Mirage would not die, only in body, but she still felt she would, she rasped for air, her chest heaving, her hands clentched, she collapsed to the ground. She lay almost lifeless in the square.. Seline had completed the transference of the essesnce just as Mirage began to slip away with the ending of a chant and a seance and her own blood it was done... Mirage's essence was unlocked from the key and placed in the gem. Seline went out to find Mirage at The Market Square... She knelt down and placed the stone in Mirage's clenched fist. Mirage suddenly burst out in a loud scream that echoed through the streets, heard for miles away it seemed... She said to Seline " Ye must... Swear..." she was so weak it barely was audible..... " The key is safe she said.... Mystra will deal with it..... It is no longer your concern...." Mirage tried to sit up but fell back, Seline said "Relax , ye must..." Mirage lay back and held the gem in her hands and uttered a few simple words... Her essence in turn released and she disappeared into thin air... She was free and the key was still abound.... Locked away ... (to be continued) 

Morning routine, and a scroll...

Darren wakes, handling his usual morning practices as every other day. a short trip around his home, followed by a short trip around the realms... only this time he notices something unusual as he steps into the square... the lady mirage, in a seeming hurry, tacks something to the lamppost and then rushes off, as though she were preoccupied... He doesn't remember a time when last he hasn't even earned a nod from the lady, and this time it was like she didn't even see him! Stepping up to the post and glancing at the scroll, understanding washes over him, she IS distracted, seemingly by something important. "So she needs the help of anyone that will give it," he thinks to himself, chuckling, "i would hope i could be strong enough to offer anything!" With that, Darren straightens the robes he wears over his newer, shorter form and looks off in the direction in which he seen the lady leave. "perhaps..." he says, trailing off as he begins to seek her out...
