Tazlure

Ilaria stepped back, and took in the form of the woman kneeling before her. Yes, it was definitely Sherrai, but she was younger. "Who will take your baby, Sherrai? Surely, nothing could happen to your sweet baby in this place? He is safe here." Ilaria figured that it wouldn't be wise to qu...

Ilaria coughed and waved her hands, trying to clear the smoke that now surrounded her. She frowned, and tilted her head to the side, unsure if what she was hearing was real. Ilaria carefully made her way towards the sound of weeping, not sure if there was someone else in the maze, or if this was som...

Ilaria nodded. She remembered the instructions from her last visit to the Maze. Ilaria focused her gaze on the path that lay before her, and tried to focus her thoughts. She thought back to her days studying with her clan, and some of the calming techniques that they taught her. Ilaria had been a bi...

Ilaria let what Brother John said tumble around in her mind before she spoke. "It sounds like this would be an avenue worth exploring. I would be willing to dare the maze again, if it's possible." She looked around the Hall, shivering slightly as her gaze rested upon the thorns. "How ...

Well, the Hall of Thorns certainly looked different than the last time Ilaria was here, or so she thought. She dwelt briefly on the thought of her uncompleted mission, and then pushed the thought aside. There would be time enough for that later. Ilaria stole quick glances around at the people who we...

Ilaria had no trouble keeping up with the small boy who ran just ahead of her. She had spent a lot of time back in Trothgard chasing after the small ones, so she was in fairly good physical shape. A slight frown marred Ilaria's features as she noticed that they had entered into a part of the Abbey t...

"Thank you for your help," Ilaria said with a small smile. She wasn't exactly sure what a Oneist or an angel was, but Ilaria figured that she could find out pretty easily once she was done with Brother John. Before she could say any more, the young boy entered the room. "Yes, I'm read...

Ilaria nodded. "Go ahead, I'll be here when you get back." Her eyes followed the young boy out of the room, before they came to rest on Gaelena. Well, now would be as good a time as any to ask about the angel. She smiled, and held out the small angel. "I'm sorry, but I couldn't help b...

Ilaria heard the small gasp from Gaelena, but before Ilaria could ask her anything about it, a small boy came running into the room. She nodded after she head the instructions. "Well, lead on. I'm not sure exactly where he went after he left the room." Ilaria made a mental note to find Gae...

Ilaria's eyes widened as Brother John strode into the Abbot's meeting without even the slightest pause. She followed the group back to Brother Michael's room, lost in her own thoughts. Ilaria stood next to the Abbot to give the others space to examine the room. So much had happened since she had arr...

Ilaria watched silently as the Boar made a sweep of the room. "Wait, you mean Brother Michael did this? But why? He seemed so...helpless when I met him," Ilaria said with a frown. How could it be that the feeble man that had occupied the couch the last time that she was here be the same pe...

Ilaria took a few deep calming breaths, and led Brother John down the hallway to the room. "I was just coming in to visit Brother Michael, and I found the room in shambles. Mother Sherrai's neck was broken, and Brother Michael was missing. I didn't disturb anything so that the Lord Abbot, or so...

Good luck with WM! It's been fun, and hopefully all will still go according to plan

Ilaria was no stranger to death, oh no, the past few months had taken care of that, but she couldn't keep the tremor out of her voice as she replied to Brother John. "I know he's in a conference, but I didn't think that this could wait." A faint blush spread across her cheeks as she notice...

Ilaria stifled a sob as her eyes surveyed the room. "By the gods, what happened here," she whispered to the room, as if it would give her answers. She carefully picked her way through the room, only stopping to glance at some of the papers that had been thrown about. Ilaria wasn't sure wha...

Ilaria let the words of the two men digest. Someone who had just woken up from a four month nap? Who could that possibly be? Ilaria chewed on her lip and frowned as she mulled over their conversation. The only person that she could possibly think of was Brother Michael. As far as Ilaria knew, Brothe...

Longfellow continued his pacing as H'saan entered the room. "Welcome back, Master Alai. I hope all has been well with you. The rest of the party should be here shortly." He smiled sadly as H'saan spoke to him. "On the contrary, my trip went well. It went almost too well, if I say so m...

Ilaria's disappointment was instantly squashed when she head the tolling of the Abbey bell resound across the courtyard. Her curiosity was piqued as the riders came racing into the courtyard. It seemed as if the flow would never stop, so she was surprised to only count thirty men in the whole group....

Ilaria rose with the dawn and began her morning like she did every other morning since her return to the Abbey: praying. She prayed for her those close to her, and she prayed to receive guidance from the Ice Queen. Ilaria had felt a little bit directionless since her return, and the brothers and sis...

OOC: Skilled!

Longfellow nodded. "Well then, I will see the both of you back here on the 22nd, provided that you survive the next few months." With that dismissal, Longfellow disappeared into the back room.

Longfellow sat at his desk, gazing out the window. It was an unusually windy day for Sabata, but Longfellow didn't mind. It cooled off his offices, which were usually schorching hot. Anyone who happened to wander into his office would think that Longfellow was either sick or drunk, with his bloodsho...

Samheen Ilaria chose to leave the Abbey for the rest of Samheen, feeling that she could do more good outside the Abbey, rather than inside. Percy graciously offered up a room in his house, which Ilaria gladly accepted. She spent her mornings talking with people around the village, gathering bits of...

Ilaria chuckled. "Well then we're in lucky, because honey drops are exactly what I've got in my bag! I think I've got enough for you, me, and Herbert. That sounds like a plan to me!" Ilaria was happy to share the sweets in her bag. One of her favorite people back home always used to sneak ...

OOC: Ok guys, we're going to end this thread after you respond. Once you guys get your recess posts up, I'll make a new thread with a new timestamp and we can pick up from there! IC: Longfellow let out a hearty laugh. "Superstition, my friend. I've had plenty of journeys that started out with t...
