[u]Phrenesis[/u]

The woman smiled as she watched Aergar shiver in pleasure at the prospect of becoming King, just as he hoped he would. 

[b]"Very well lord--or should I say lady?-- Phrenesis," he said with a crooked smile, "I accept your offer." [/b]

[i]‘Wonderful’[/i] thought Phrenesis to himself, [i]‘Everything is finally coming together’[/i]. He spent a few brief moments picturing what would become of the realm once Aergar was in power. Sweet unadulterated chaos, madness running thick and pure- exactly as he had envisioned. War and death probably a side product of such a realm, but that was not his concern.

[b] "What is it you'll do in the meantime? Sleep more I hope."[/b]

The woman nodded gently, in thought for a moment before she responded to Aergar “Yes, sleep and eat, as you say. I will be returning to Tariq, by now I hope that the majority of the elven court are under my influence, next will be the fae court. From there it should be simple enough to arrange events to align with my plans and set in motion a few other little schemes and ploys, you know this and that. 

The woman slowly moved across the bloody pool to the edge, her slender fingers reaching into the small pile which comprised of her belonging and clothing before withdrawing two small black bound notebooks. They were somewhat tattered and looked aged, the pair tied together with a length of string which the woman untied before slinging the rope to the side uncaringly. Moving back towards the imp she explained “These are some of my fondest little toys, which will serve the purpose of allowing us to communicate for the time being as inconspicuously as possible. Anything written in one of them appears in the other, allowing us to speak anywhere.” Phrenesis decided not to tell him just how valuable this particular pair was, or that they had once been used by a demon to communicate with unwitting mortals on Emanseria. He held on of the small books out to Aergar waiting for him to take it. 

“As for you my little darling” she said turning to Sparrot with a grin “I have a task for you as well, but I will instruct you about that soon enough”. Glancing back at Aergar she added “take as long as you please, my dear Aergar, we have the luxary of time for now. If anything should change then I will inform you”. She tapped her note book briefly before turning away, a grin still framing her face as she did. 

[u]Fritz[/u]

He watched as at the sound of Ada’s magical whistle a figure emerged from the darkness surrounding the wagon, he was alert and for a brief moment he almost panicked, that was before Ada and the rabbit woman greeted each other, or rather Ada greeted her and she immediately asked who he was. He watched this Rabit woman, thin and dainty, a large Rabbit mask obsquring her face completely. A few moments later after a brief discussion the newcomer bounded off into the darkness once more, off to set up at this camp she was talking about. 

[b]"Fritz, I want to ask you. How did you land up here?"[/b]

As Ada asked her question the air was suddenly thick with mystery, and Fritz paused briefly before explaining “I was exploring around a small wooded area when I became lost, which was odd because I was sure that the ‘forest’ I was in wasn’t nearly big enough to lose my way, but here I am”. He continued to explain the events that had lead him here, the sparkling pool, the dizzy feeling he had experienced before falling forwards – then waking up and stumbling upon Aergar and the Raven, before eventually finding Ada beside the road. He tried to leave no details out, once he had finished he watched Ada carefully for a response, still curious to learn as much as he could about his situation.
