| Subject: The golden gryphon grumbles. That wicked storm! Took me a good two hours to find the tree break to enter Secret Haven. I cleared it a little... He plucks a thorn branch from his plumage. ... You can see how well that went. He huffs in frustration. Has anyone seen Sirith or Aniha lately? |

>At the mention of one of the Mages, the voice turns

>are a stern taskmaster! Quite the authority figure...

>Rashkae's sleeping body glows a slight green, then

>But your golden Mage is not the only one who deserves

>Neutral King, you too served your post with dignity

>And a bit of advice for you - follow your heart.
>Someone you love is near to you; reach for her.

>Another wry smile. And speaking of loves, the white

>Your brother was a tremendous leader; he has given his

>Black winged horse, you are familiar to me! The

>I have blessed you with a figure you enjoy, which has
>brought you to a place you fit in to and a creature
>you love. Calydor glows a slight green, then
>flashes, then recedes. I would give you a "parting

>first time around, I left you with the strongest
>personal shield that can be found on this earth, and
>it keeps you from my touch. I can, however, give your

>Blonde queen and black king - what an odd couple you
>two make! The storm chuckles to itself. Light
>one, your healing gifts are gifts indeed, but to
>protect all the injured around you, you will need
>help. DOL glows green, and is surrounded with
>healing strength. Your work should be much easier
>now. Dark king, you are lonely. I cannot bring you
>love, but I can offer you this - you have friends here
>who do not pose a threat to you. Speak to them. Speak
>to her. You know who I refer to. She will listen.
>
>The lightning and thunder grows more distant, and the
>rain slows to a gentle patter. The dark clouds recede
>into the distance.

>Go forth with strength, creatures. You are a mighty
>force. Before I go... A male figure appears in the
>opening of the cavern. It is a visage, merely a
>shadow, but it speaks.

>Every so often, two creatures come together and

>match in the world. One match. When that match meets,
>they form a bond. For life. Perhaps they are merely

>perhaps they rule together hand in hand, paw in paw,
>hoof in hoof.

>These are LifeBonds, and they are rare. But when two

>The shadow slips into nothingness. The last dark
>clouds ripple out of sight, revealing a clear, blue
