Subject: Janora and Jax

My feet are sore,
and my back aches,
if I could but sit
for a moment, rest,
and then go on.
But, I do not dare
take the time to rest.
I must meet with Jax,
and I know he comes,
he comes.
I plod on.
I seem to have been
walking for weeks,
nay, months.
Ah, the Agarth stone
grows warm,
Jax is near, then.
Just a bit further...
there--I see him,
he is landing in that clearing.
He sees me, veers, and
lands close by.
"Janora," he rasps,
it has been long,
long years since we
have chatted. Do you still
fancy the pythagorean principle?"
"Aye, but other methods
are gaining followers.
However, I did not send
for thee to talk of
arcane bits of knowledge."
"I thought not. You do
not use the stone without cause.
Tell me, what is a foot?"
And, so I relayed to him
all the intrigue and
royal contranips. And,
just where all that
fussing and fuming has
brought us.
"And, now, the Tancan armies
amass at our borders,
and there is none to stay
their advance. Sir Dragzfurth
has gone to challenge Sir Justin,
and the dragon Triarcanoth and
his off-spring Tanzara are
abroad in the land. The child
Shane has been put in stasis
by that worker of bad spells,
Keecadoran. But, in that,
she does more good than harm.
He will not long remain
in that blue haze and he is safe.
within that field of limbo.
Her spells have lost their strength
and she cannot keep him long away.
And, you, I have called, dear Jax,
because if ever we needed a
champion in this wretched state,
it is now!"
"I see," Jax ran a claw
across his crested head.
"Have the hordes of Tancan
advanced across your borders?"
"Not yet, but they gather."
"Then we have time. Come,
hoist yourself aboard,
I must reconnoiter and
then we must plan."
Jax knelt and I placed
my foot upon his jointed
knee and settled myself
between his shoulders.
I grabbed the two horn-like
projections that stood
just below his neck. And,
he was up and up and away.
I had forgotten the sense
of freedom,and how the wind
swirled around my body!
