<GMLucca> >>The ghost boy
suddenly raises his hand into the air..."Wake up!"
<GMLucca> >>You feel a
spitting pain in your head...something is screaming in your ear....you
can't stand it!
* Pottle screams in pain,
as he drops to the ground..."AHH!!!! GET OUTTA MY HEAD!!!!"
<GMLucca> Gwen: What the?....
<GMLucca> Gwen: Pottle!
<Remy> Ah, shit...da funky
elf man is freaking out..
* Pottle grips his (upper,
Leeta... :P) head in pain..."I can't...take this..."
<GMLucca> >>All you remember
seeing before you lose consciousness is the boy's hollow eyes staring right
at you.....
* Pottle screams, until finally
his eyes roll up in his head...and he collapses to the ground, limp.
<GMLucca> >>Your vision
goes from red, to white, to black...you feel like you're floating in a
dream. It's hard to think...it's like you're submerged in molasses, both
in thought and body.
* Pottle spits up a small
blue substance...it appears to be...vinyl siding.
<Pottle> Woah...where in
Anemone's name am I...
<GMLucca> >>Voice: Pottle....!
This way...!
* Pottle shrugs..."Like I
give a fuck...at least the pain's gone...huh?"
<GMLucca> Voice: This way....!
* Pottle tries to walk, but
doesn't do too well...
* Pottle tries swimming through
the crap. :P
<GMLucca> Voice: Just concentrate....clear
your mind.....you'll find your way!
<Pottle> Cool, I'm flying...
<GMLucca> >>The voice sounds
oddly familar...
<GMLucca> >>But you cannot
place it.
* Pottle sparks a cigarette
and goes toward the voice, wondering who the hell that is...
<GMLucca> >>Pottle's body
is so limp and slow that the cigarette falls out of his hands :)
* Pottle mutters..."Damn it."
* Pottle stops and tries again.
<GMLucca> >>Voice: You
don't need to move...just close your eyes and concentrate...
* Pottle closes his eyes,
and concentrates on reaching the voice while smoking.
<GMLucca> >>You drop the
ciggie again :(
<GMLucca> >>But you feel
yourself floating somewhere else..
<GMLucca> >>And you feel
something soft underneath you...it has an earthy smell....you hear water
running in the distance, and the sun shining on you.
<Pottle> Woah...where am
I...
<GMLucca> >>You open your
eyes, you're by a lakeside..
<GMLucca> >>Once again,
you get a sense of Deja Vu.
<Pottle> Hey kewl, I remember
this place...kinda...what in the...
* Pottle is good at babbling
to himself.
<GMLucca> >>You see a woman
sitting near you....
<GMLucca> >>She's very,
very pretty, and an elf.
<Pottle> ...woah...who
the hell are you?!
<GMLucca> >> But you cannot
place her.
<GMLucca> Woman: I'm glad
you've come.
<GMLucca> Woman: Come.
Sit by me.
* Pottle shrugs, and has a
seat.
<GMLucca> Woman: Don't
be afraid...
<Pottle> Why should I be?
<GMLucca> Woman: Do you
remember this place?
<Pottle> Not too well...I
know it, but I can't place it...
<GMLucca> Woman: You were
just a toddler...but you used to come here often...you didn't have many
friends...but you were happy....you would sit by the lake's edge and try
to catch frogs. You would be a muddy mess by the time you came home...but
you were so happy..
<Pottle> ...home? I...lived
here?
<GMLucca> Woman: Yes, long
ago.
<Pottle> I'm sorry...I
don't remember anything...
<GMLucca> Woman: I know...
<GMLucca> Woman: But that's
why you're here...
<GMLucca> Woman stands
up. You look at her and get that sense of deja vu again.
<Pottle> You...I know you
too...who are you?
<GMLucca> Woman: Think
hard Pottle, who could I be?
<GMLucca> Woman smiles
at him.
<Pottle> ...Mom?!
<GMLucca> Woman nods. "I
felt bad...when I had to leave you...but I never really left..."
<GMLucca> Woman: I was
always in here...*points to his heart*
<Pottle> And all of the
sudden, bam, yer alive again? This isn't making any sense...am I reliving
past life experience or something?
<GMLucca> Woman: No...I'm
not alive....You are in...how should I explain this....limbo.
<Pottle> Nothingness?!
<GMLucca> Woman: You're
between this world and Bardados...realm of the dead...of course..that place
is also a place of limbo...but..
<Pottle> I'm in the middle
of nowhere? Kewl! Can I chill here while the world dies?
<GMLucca> Woman: You're
here because deep inside...you wish to uncover your past...
<GMLucca> Woman: I'm afraid
not. *Smile* You are still alive, but your soul is here.
<Pottle> Then they can
carry my lifeless corpse around... ;>
<GMLucca> Woman: I..I see...you
are afraid.....even though you want to know, you are afraid.
<GMLucca> Woman: I don't
blame you.
<Pottle> ...shouldn't I
be?
<GMLucca> Woman: It depends...it
would be best to show you....
<GMLucca> Woman: But once
you wish to seek the truth...you cannot turn back.
<GMLucca> Woman: Do you
wish to seek it?
<Pottle> My past is the
key to my future...yes, I seek it.
<GMLucca> Woman: Unfortunately...it's
a difficult one...in order to seek it...you have to get past a fear...and
believe in yourself...
<GMLucca> Woman: Fears
bar the way to the truth...
<Pottle> I'll do whatever
it takes...
<GMLucca> Woman: All right.
I want you to stick your hand in that lake...
<Pottle> Uh...okay.
* Pottle dips his hand in
the water...
<GMLucca> >>It's absolutely
freezing. If you swam in this water, there's no doubt your muscles would
cramp up and you'd drown.
<GMLucca> Woman: The way
to the truth lies at the bottom of this lake...Try to find a light at the
bottom, it will show you the way...If you can get past your fear of drowning...you
will remember everything.
<Pottle> ...is it possible
to die in this place...?
<GMLucca> Woman: Like I
said....if you believe in yourself....you will not die...
<GMLucca> Woman: But yes...it
is possible.
<Pottle> Oh fuckin' goodie...
<GMLucca> Woman: It is
up to you.
<Pottle> Test my ass by...aww,
some fuckin' mother you are...
<GMLucca> Woman: I'm sorry...but
if this is what you want...
<GMLucca> >>You turn around
to cuss at her again, but she's gone! You're alone!
<Pottle> Here, son, take
a dip! Odds are you'll die, but you can do it! I believe in you...HEY!
GET BACK HERE!
<GMLucca> >>You have two
choices...chill here, or take a dip.
<Pottle> If the rest of
the people in my past are like her...
* Pottle takes off his boots..."What's
life without a little riiiiiiiisssssk?!" *sploosh*
<GMLucca> >>You start swimming
to the center, but just as you thought, you're muscles start to cramp up!
<Pottle> Goddammit...so
instead of Jeal killing me, I'll die seeking my past...
<Pottle> Aww...FUCK IT!
* Pottle keeps pushing!
<GMLucca> >>You're legs
begin to cramp, and you swallow water!
* Pottle coughs..."Why the
fuck did I do this?! I HATE WATER!"
<GMLucca> >>You can't handle
it anymore, and start to sink to the bottom, you're only hope is finding
that light your mom talked about!
* Pottle pushes the thought
aside, looking for the light, ignoring the pain...
* Pottle keeps searching as
he's underwater...
<GMLucca> >>You suddenly
see it, the light! But you're already starting to pass out due to lack
of air..
<Pottle> . o
O (I can't take much more of this...)
* Pottle uses all the strength
he has left to get to the light...
<GMLucca> >>You reach the
light, and touch it, but once again, everything becomes black....
<GMLucca> >>You wake up
on a bed.
<Pottle> Aww...this sucks...
* Pottle realizes what he
just did...
<GMLucca> >>The room has
toys, a dresser, and a quilt on the wall...a little boy's room.
<Pottle> I JUST SWAM ACROSS
A LAKE?! *mouth drops*
* Pottle then begins looking
around at his surroundings...
<GMLucca> >>The room is
very, very familiar.
<GMLucca> >>You see a toy
wagon in the corner...and pick it up.
<Pottle> Some little punk-ass's
room...how nice...
<GMLucca> >>You hear voices
coming from downstairs.
* Pottle sets down the wagon,
and goes downstairs...
<GMLucca> >>Heading down
the stairs, you see two ladies talking downstairs, by the door. One is...your
mom! The other is a nice, plump elvin woman of the same age.
<GMLucca> Pottle's Mom:
Helene, where did you get that shawl, it's so nice. Did you knit it yourself.?
<GMLucca> >>You decide
to watch them. Hell, it's all you can do at this point.
* Pottle jumps up and down
in front of the people :P
<GMLucca> >>They don't
seem to notice you.
<Pottle> See me? Say hi
to Pottle! :P
* Plump_nice_elvin_woman stands
up quickly and falls on her plump face :P
<GMLucca> Woman: Oh! Helene!
You all right?
* Plump_nice_elvin_woman gets
back up again and toddles over to Pottle's mother. "Why, yes, child! I'm
fine!"
* Pottle goes to step on Helene...and
his foot passes through her...
* Pottle lights a cigarette.
<GMLucca> Woman: I'm not
a child, you know...I'm 27 now...I'm much older...you don't have to be
such a mother hen!
<Plump_nice_elvin_woman>
Why, when I was your age I never talked to my elders like that!
<Plump_nice_elvin_woman>
Oh, those were the days..
<GMLucca> Woman: Oh no.....
* Plump_nice_elvin_woman gets
spacy :P
<GMLucca> >>You hear footsteps
tromping up the wood steps.
<Plump_nice_elvin_woman>
You know, we had to trudge through 30 meters of muck to get to the local
inns in those days!
<GMLucca> Woman: Oh...really....I...Oh
dear....look at this Helene...
* Pottle goes to look who
it is.
<GMLucca> >>You see a young
boy covered in mud..the spitting image of you....but younger!
* Plump_nice_elvin_woman makes
tsk tsk noises..
* Pottle looks at the kid
and acks...
<GMLucca> Woman: Pottle,
how many times do I have to tell you NOT to play down by the lake?
* Pottle jumps. "This kid
covered in goo is me?!"
<GMLucca> Young Pottle:
*Pout* I...I dunno...
* Plump_nice_elvin_woman waggles
at finger at the young Pottle and clucks her tongue disapprovingly..
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
sticks his tounge out at her when she's not looking ;)
* Pottle laughs!
<GMLucca> Woman: Well,
we have to co clean you up before your father gets home...and grandma comes
over to visit..
<Plump_nice_elvin_woman>
Shira, you should feed that boy more! Why, he's starving to nothing!
* Plump_nice_elvin_woman makes
more tsk tsk noises..
<GMLucca> Y. Pottle: But
I don't wanna have a bath. I just had one this morning! *Pottle's mom starts
doing the dreaded spit thing, and starts to clean off his face with her
finger* Ah! Stop! Mamma!
<GMLucca> Shira: He's always
been on the thin side. Takes after his father.
* Pottle winces...
<Pottle> That IS torture...
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
squirms, trying to get away.
<GMLucca> Shira: There
you go!
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
is more than happy to get outta her grasp, and pulls something outta his
shirt "I caught a froggie. =) See?"
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
shoves it at Helene.
* Plump_nice_elvin_woman screeches
:P
<GMLucca> Shira: Now stop
that!
* Plump_nice_elvin_woman screams
and jumps on a chair.
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
giggles.
<Plump_nice_elvin_woman>
GET IT AWAY!
<GMLucca> Shira: It's just
a frog, Helene.
<Plump_nice_elvin_woman>
Its all....slimy!
<GMLucca> Shira: Calm down...I
better go clean him up before Tristan comes home.
* Plump_nice_elvin_woman steps
down again...
<Plump_nice_elvin_woman>
Yes yes....can't have his father seeing him like that!
<GMLucca> Shira: Ahem...whatever.
I will see you soon, eh Helene.
<GMLucca> Shira seems secretly
glad her son is a mess, she's not that fond of Helene ;)
* Plump_nice_elvin_woman nods
quickly.
<GMLucca> Shira: Come on
you. Time for a bath.
<GMLucca> Young Pottle:
Nonono! Mamma! Noooooo!
<GMLucca> Shira drags her
messy son into the house.
* Pottle wishes the fat bitch'd
get the fuck OUT...
<GMLucca> >>And then the
scene begins to fade out..
<Pottle> Woah...what's
goin' on?!
<GMLucca> >>And you're
once again inside the house...but it's a little later at night...about
sunset.
<GMLucca> >>You hear sounds
coming from the family room.
* Pottle follows the sounds...
<GMLucca> >>You hear an
older sounding woman complaining about something, but she sounds nice,
yet refined. "Tristan, you have to think about the crops. Why, when Shira's
father did this, he thought about this sort of thing!"
<GMLucca> Tristan: I'm
doing the best I can! Ahem...sorry.
<GMLucca> >>You take a
closer peek into the room. Shira is sitting on one side of the room, Tristan
and an older woman are in the middle of an argument. Pottle's sitting on
the woman's lap. A cute puppy is sniffing Pottle.
* Pottle wonders what everyone's
bitching about...how important can crops be?
* Pottle`s_Dog wags his tail
excitedly :P
<GMLucca> >>They don't
seem to be very rich, but they aren't poor either. Middle class.
<GMLucca> Grandma: Tristan,
crops are just something you have to consider when you married my daughter,
among other things. You think being a mayor is easy?
<GMLucca> Tristan: Of course
not!
* Pottle`s_Dog sniffs Pottle's
leg and thinks... . o O (T-Bone..)
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
is oblivious to everything. "Here Spleenie!"
* Pottle`s_Dog woofs and hops
on Pottle :P
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
huggles the puppy and the dog licks his face ;)
<GMLucca> Grandma and Tristan
argue still, when there is a knock on the door.
* Pottle`s_Dog chews on Pottle's
finger.
<GMLucca> Young Pottle:
Ow! Stop that Spleenie!
<GMLucca> Shira walks to
the door, and opens it. She seems to be talking to someone.
* Pottle goes to the door
to hear better.
<GMLucca> Shira: Can I
help you?
* Pottle`s_Dog wags its tail
and hits young Pottle in the nose :P
* Pottle looks at who's at
the door.
<GMLucca> >>A woman is
outside, draped in a cowl. The voice is familar. "Yes, I'm a traveller...I
unfortunately was robbed on my way here...I have no money..."
* Pottle walks right up to
the woman and looks at her face. :P
<GMLucca> Woman: Is it
possible that I could stay here for the night? The inn has no vacancies.
<GMLucca> >>The face is
covered, you can't see it...all you can see, however..are emerald eyes.
<GMLucca> Shira: I don't
see why it would be a problem...
<GMLucca> Shira: What is
your name?
<GMLucca> Woman: Oh, I'm
sorry. How thoughtless of me. *Woman takes off her cowl, you recognize
her immedetely.* Katarina DuNord. Just Katarina will do, however.
<Pottle> KATARINA?!
* Pottle begins pacing about..."No,
you aren't gonna let her in...you can't!!"
<GMLucca> Shira: Here,
follow me miss...
<Pottle> Oh my fucking
god...
<GMLucca> Katarina follows
Shira like a shadow.
* Pottle puts a hand against
the wall to right himself...
<GMLucca> Shira: Tristan,
we seem to have another traveller. Someone by the name of Katarina. We'll
have to make another bed for this one.
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
gives Katarina a look...looking uncomfortable..
<GMLucca> Tristan: All
right...it shouldn't be a problem.
<GMLucca> Spleenie growls
at Katarina.
<GMLucca> Katarina: Thank
you very much. I'll be out of here early in the morning. I'm sorry for
the trouble sir.
<GMLucca> Tristan: It's
no problem.
<GMLucca> Tristan and Shira
take Katarina to her room, Katarina gives Young Pottle a strange look going
up the stairs, scaring him.
<Pottle> Oh my god...she's
gonna kill them...
* Pottle follows them up the
stairs...
<GMLucca> Tristan: Here's
your room. Have a nice stay.
<Pottle> Maybe I'm wrong...I
have to be...
<GMLucca> Katarina: Oh,
believe me, I will. Thank you for your kindness.
<GMLucca> Katarina gives
an odd smile as the two leave....hightening your fears.
<GMLucca> >>You decide
to go back down the stairs...you can hear Young Pottle yelling something.
* Pottle stays in the room
in case she strips or something, like a good pervert.
* Pottle turns and follows
his folks down the stairs.
<GMLucca> Young Pottle:
I don't want her staying here.
<GMLucca> Shira: What's
gotten into you?
<GMLucca> Young Pottle:
She's a bad lady! She gave me a funny look! I don't like her!
<GMLucca> Tristan: Young
man, do you want to go to your room? When we have guests here, we behave...
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
sniffles.
<Pottle> Damn it...listen
to him, you IDIOTS!
<GMLucca> Shira: I know
she's a stranger, but don't worry, nothing bad'll happen..
* Pottle does not respect
his parents as they should be respected, because he didn't have them around
when he was younger.
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
looks at his parents like they are crazy O_o
<GMLucca> Young Pottle:
She's bad..
<GMLucca> Tristan: Go take
him upstairs Shira.
<Pottle> ...listen to him...
<Pottle> You're gonna die
if you don't...
<GMLucca> Shira picks Young
Pottle up and carries him up the stairs. The grandmother leaves.
<GMLucca> >>And the scene
starts to fade out again.
<Pottle> I know what will
happen next...no, don't make me watch...
<GMLucca> >>The scene comes
in again in the room you started out in....and Young Pottle is asleep.
<GMLucca> >>And someone
is walking the halls.
<GMLucca> >>Young Pottle
is afraid and, like the good widdle coward he is, hides under the bed.
<Pottle> ...it's Katarina...has
to be...
* Pottle goes to see who it
is...
* Pottle looks back at young
Pottle...and greatly respects the decision he made...
<GMLucca> >>It's a woman,
and she's ripping apart his drawers, searching.
<GMLucca> Woman: Dammit,
where is it?!
<GMLucca> Woman: It has
to be here somewhere, I checked every other room!
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
cowers under the bed.
<GMLucca> Woman: The father...he
must have it...
<Pottle> ...what's she
looking for...
<GMLucca> Woman: I'll just
have to...'ask' him for it in the morning...hahah.
<GMLucca> Woman tiptoes
out.
<GMLucca> >>The scene fades
out yet again.
<GMLucca> >>And when you
can see again, you're still in your room, but it's early morning..and something
is wrong..
<GMLucca> >>It hot and
there's a strange haziness in the room.
* Pottle sees that what's
in the room resembles what's coming off his cigarette...
<GMLucca> >>Young Pottle
is still asleep!
* Pottle tries to kick the
bed...but his foot passes through it, and he flips, flopping to the ground
on his back.
<Pottle> Ow...damn it,
wake up!
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
does, thankfully..and starts freaking out immedetly.
<Pottle> There's smoke
in the fucking house!
<GMLucca> Young Pottle:
Mamma! Pappa! *Cries*
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
stumbles out of bed, and runs downstairs...part of the house is on fire!
* Pottle follows young Pottle
like a shadow.
<Pottle> If only they listened
to him...
<GMLucca> >>Outside, it's
chaos....half of the village is ablaze.
<Pottle> She...she did
all this?!
<GMLucca> >>And Shira and
Tristan are talking to Katarina. Young Pottle sees his mom and runs to
her. "Mamma!"
<GMLucca> Shira scoops
up her sobbing son.
<GMLucca> Tristan: Get
out of our village! Now! We don't know what you seek, but you'd best leave
immediately!
* Pottle runs right after
him.
<GMLucca> Katarina: *Smirks*
What do I seek? You know well what I seek, Mayor...give it to me!
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
looks very, very confused.
* Pottle reaches for his sword...then
realizes he can't do anything...
<GMLucca> Tristan: I don't
know what you're talking about! We're just a simple family! Leave now!
<GMLucca> Young Pottle:
Pappa? Mamma? What are they talking about? What is she doing? Mamma? Mamma?
<GMLucca> Shira hugs her
son. "It's okay, sweetie."
<GMLucca> Katarina: Don't
play the fool with me...Give it to me...or else this village...
<GMLucca> Tristan: What
else do you intend to do?
<GMLucca> Katarina: THIS!
<GMLucca> Katarina makes
another gesture and says an arcane word....the rest of the village, and
the forest surrounding it, suddenly explode in flame...
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
cries harder, terrifed. "MAMMA! The forest...my house! Mamma! It's..."
<GMLucca> Shira is in too
much shock to comfort her son at this point.
<GMLucca> Tristan is mighty
pissed. "You horrible witch! How dare you set fire to our peaceful
village!? How dare you threaten my wife and son?!"
<GMLucca> Katarina: This
never would have happened if you gave me your half of the pendant, now
would it
? Give it to me
or you can say your good-byes to your wife and
son.
<GMLucca> Tristan: Never
The
pendant was never meant to be used by the likes of someone as black-hearted
as you
<Pottle> The pendant...the
pendant...she did all this...for the Light half of the Lackisha pendant...what
can that pendant DO?!
<GMLucca> >>You realize...you
had no idea it was called that...it was something you recalled on your
own!
<GMLucca> Young Pottle:
Yeah! You tell that bad lady!
<Pottle> Woah, wait a sec...I
didn't know that...
<GMLucca> Katarina: Oho!
So you admit it you have it? Ha! Then
oh? What's this? You intend to use
it on me? Try your luck, peasant trash!
What
you
you can use the
a low
level magician like yourself
? Humph! I'll show you the REAL way to use
it! Think about your folly as you leave this mortal coil!
<Pottle> It's all comin'
back...
<GMLucca> >>Katarina suddenly
pulls out a jagged knife, and stabs it into Tristan's heart!
<GMLucca> Shira: TRISTAN!
<Pottle> DAD!
* Pottle drops to his knees
in tears...
<GMLucca> Young Pottle:
PAPPA!
<GMLucca> Tristan: Shira...take
this.....
<GMLucca> Tristan chucks
a golden colored pendant to his wife. "And run!"
<GMLucca> Tristan falls.
<GMLucca> Shira sobs, grabs
her son by the hand, and runs as fast as she can!
* Pottle looks down at the
pendant on his neck..."So...this is the Light half of the Lackisha Pendant..."
<GMLucca> Katarina: YOU
BITCH! Wait!
<Pottle> She can never
get this...
* Pottle chases after them.
<GMLucca> >>After a bit
of running....
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
is still sobbing. "I can't run anymore Mamma! I can't run!"
<GMLucca> Shira: We have
to keep going, sweetie!
<GMLucca> Shira suddenly
stops by a cliff...Katarina is still far behind. She seems to have come
apon a realization..
<GMLucca> Shira: ...
<GMLucca> Young Pottle:
Mamma! Don't stop! The bad lady'll hurt me!
<Pottle> Run! Get outta
there!
<Pottle> You'll die too!
Run, damn it!!!
<GMLucca> Shira: Hunnie...I'm
afraid...I'm afraid you're going to have to be a big boy now...
<GMLucca> Shira pulls the
pendant off her neck and onto Pottle's.
<GMLucca> Shira: Mommie
can't get away from the bad lady...but you still can!
<GMLucca> Young Pottle:
No...don't leave me Mamma...don't go!
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
cries harder.
<GMLucca> Shira: I'm sorry...but
you have to promise me something...
<GMLucca> Shira: You can
never, ever, ever let that lady take that pendant away!
<GMLucca> Young Pottle:
I'll never let her touch it?
<GMLucca> Shira: You promise
me?!
<GMLucca> Young Pottle:
I promise! *Cries* I promise!
<GMLucca> Shira hugs Pottle,
and sees Katarina approching. "Go! Run!"
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
runs just as Katarina appears over the hill.
* Pottle decides to follow
Pottle.
<GMLucca> Young Pottle
keeps on running...then looks over his shoulder...only to see Katarina
push his mother once, and see her fall off the cliff....
<GMLucca> Young Pottle:
MAMMA!
<GMLucca> Katarina hears
him. "YOU!"
<Pottle> MOM!
<GMLucca> Young Pottle,
well, you guessed it, runs..
* Pottle cries..."Not you
too...my family...all gone..."
* Pottle follows him still...
<GMLucca> Katarina is right
behind him, and suddenly Young Pottle trips.
<GMLucca> >>He slides down
a hillside and bangs his head against a rock....knocking him out...but
out of Katarina's range...
<GMLucca> >>The scene darkens.
<GMLucca> >>The scene remains
dark, but you hear someone talking.
<Pottle> ...who's that?
<GMLucca> >>"Poor little
boy....an elf..oh he's hurt!"
* Pottle hmms, and listens...
<GMLucca> >>"Are you from
Aisen? Another one....another orphan..."
<GMLucca> >>"Don't worry,
you'll be just fine...little one...."
<GMLucca> >>The scene fades
out completely, and you hear your mom's voice in your ear. "Do you see
now?"
<Pottle> Yes...
<Pottle> And, I promise
again, all these years later...
<Pottle> She will not get
her hands on the pendant!
<GMLucca> Shira: Good....Katarina
is growing in power....once she knows who you really are....
* Pottle decides he should
learn how to utilize this pendant...
<GMLucca> Shira: She'll
try to destroy you. She is from the evil clan of Quele'zar...
<Pottle> Quele'zar...
<GMLucca> Shira: But some
of the clan are of good legion...friends of the elvs...you should find
them...
<GMLucca> Shira: For Katarina
will destroy them if you don't find them.
<Pottle> Can they teach
me how to use the pendant?
<GMLucca> Shira: I cannot...only
Tristan knew how...
<GMLucca> Shira: But...don't
give up....and don't mourn us either..
<Pottle> And the secret
died with him...
<GMLucca> Shira: We gave
our lives so you could live...but you must fight...so the rest of the world
has that chance!
<GMLucca> >>Her voice begins
to fade, as it grows brighter and brighter..
* Pottle bows his head..."You're
with me inside...there is no need to mourn..."
<GMLucca> Shira: Now you
must wake up....and face reality.
<Pottle> I know...
<GMLucca> Shira: I'll always
be here. One day, you'll understand how to use the pendant...but...until
then, you must protect it...
<GMLucca> Shira's voice
fades completely.
<Pottle> Mom...don't leave
me now...
<GMLucca> >>The light is
exteremly bright now, you can hear people yelling outside. "SUNNY! Don't
lick me! Argh!"
<GMLucca> Sunny: Doo doo!
<Pottle> Ooh my head...
<Pottle> Hey...what's with
Sunny?
<Gwen> Huh? Pottle!
* Remy chuckles to himself
at the very...uhm...drunk... Sunny..
* Gwen gets by Pottle.
<Gwen> Are you okay? You
just fainted!
<Pottle> Yes, I'm okay,
and...
* Remy turns to Pottle.. "Ah...mon
ami, welcome back to the real world.."
<Gwen> ~Niel: I wanted
to ask you something Pottle..
<Pottle> Save it, Neil...
<Gwen> ~Niel: What, or
who, are the Quele'zar?
<Pottle> Ahh...was I talking
in my sleep?
<Gwen> Yeah, you were yelling
a lot of stuff.
* Pottle suddenly grabs his
head again, wincing in pain...
<Gwen> Pottle!
<Remy> Aw, shit...he's
goin crazy again..
<Gwen> He better not be...
<Gwen> We already have
Sunny going nuts..
* Pottle suddenly stops, and
snaps his head upward, staring into Gwen's eyes...
<Gwen> ...yes?
<Remy> You get to hold
on to him this time!
<Pottle> I...I remember...
<Gwen> .oO(Shit, he's going
to kill me now.)
