			=== narrative ===
			:: Kaiel looks weary for a moment... almost not meaning to bother his Master, Master Kyuad had done so much for him in the last three weeks. It was strange this bond he felt toward him. And a certain peace... less emotional but more a state of being that the Caernsil found within to rest themselves from the darkest times. It was... As the elves call it ... "vaelaerer" (tree-heartened)... <br> With a quiet shift Kaiel moved his longsword to the ground and turned off of his left side. Unbuckling the splints of his armor Kyuad sensed what this might be... the scent of rotting flesh creeps out from the hide and cloth of support beneath the Sarcosan's armor... Without looking Kyuad would know what Kaiel's "favoring" of his left side might be caused from... Kaiel had not eaten the flesh to keep his body from rupturing and turning... from decaying...

			=== Kyuad ===

			As Kaiel whispers to Kyuad, telling him of battlefields and the strangeness of elves, Kyuad looks at the ceiling, where his left hand points, and occasionally glances down at his Lorebook as he takes notes with his other hand. Glancing at Kaiel's leg, Kyuad sets down the pencil and says, '''"Y<font size="1">ES, WE WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT IN A MOMENT. </font>I<font size="1">F MY PHRASING SOUNDS ELVISH, IT IS BECAUSE FEW OTHERS KNOW SO MUCH OF THE WAYS OF MAGIC. </font>W<font size="1">ITHOUT TEXTS WRITTEN BY </font>E<font size="1">RENLANDER CHANNELERS, </font>I <font size="1">SIMPLY LEARNED ALL </font>I <font size="1">COULD FROM ELVISH LORE. </font>W<font size="1">HEN THE FOUR OF US VISITED THE DRUID'S SCHOOL IN THE </font>C<font size="1">ARAHEEN </font>I <font size="1">HAD A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO NOT ONLY LEARN FROM THE TEACHERS THERE, BUT ALSO TO SHARE SOME OF WHAT </font>I <font size="1">HAVE LEARNED OVER THE YEARS ABOUT THE NATURE OF LIFE IN THIS WORLD. </font>T<font size="1">HOUGH </font>I <font size="1">GREW UP IN THE </font>S<font size="1">ARCOSAN LANDS NEAR THE </font>A<font size="1">RUUN, MY FIRST STUDY OF THE ELVISH </font>W<font size="1">HISPER WAS THERE WITH THEIR DRUIDS.</font>"''' As he speaks, Kyuad motions with his hand, and from over Kaiel's head floats a large wad of dust, webbing, straw, hairs, and other bits that were collected around the old room. Kyuad's hand directs the collection to float onto a piece of scrap burlap found in the keep earlier, and he then wraps the ball, presses it together, and sets the collection in his lap. Continuing to talk, Kyuad starts to pull bits of the cobwebs and dust out of the bundle and pulls, twists, and gathers it into a tight line of yarn.

			'''"M<font size="1">Y TEACHER </font>C<font size="1">OLLUNE, WHOM YOU MET, ALSO TOLD ME OF GREAT SECRETS THE </font>W<font size="1">HISPER HAS FOR THE ELVEN PEOPLES. </font>I <font size="1">SUSPECT SHE MIGHT HAVE EVEN HEARD IT HERSELF, BUT SHE KEPT MANY THINGS CLOSE TO HER CHEST WHEN SHE SUSPECTED INTERESTED EARS TO BE ABOUT. </font>T<font size="1">HIS PENCHA...

== Setting ==

In the Crystal Keep, in the quiet hours of the night, just after Eranon sleepily asked about his dream from the Whisper. This inner room's walls are sturdy and thick, allowing no light at all to penetrate, but for Kaiel and Kyuad all is visible. In the pitch blackness Kyuad sits, pointing his finger around the room as spider webbing and dust seem to be collecting from the corners into a small, floating bundle.

Only a few minutes before, Kyuad had spoken to the spirit of his friend Zal'Kazzir. Not knowing what will come of the day or what mysteries may be laid bare by their efforts, he becomes curious about his newest ally.

== Conversation ==

Kyuad and Kaiel talk of his life and history.

=== Kyuad ===

Kyuad's voice is calm and quiet, a barely audible whisper in a low register. Looking as he always has to Kaiel, who cannot see the points of red that the living see in his eyes, Kyuad rhuminates. '''"KAIEL, I ASSUME THAT YOU WOULD PREFER TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO TO KEEP YOU BUSY THESE LONG, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. PERHAPS WE SHOULD START INVOLVING YOU MORE ON OUR PREPARATIONS AND MAINTENANCE SO YOUR IDLE TIME IS MADE USEFUL. I FIND THAT PRACTICE TO BE OF SOME COMFORT TO ME NOW THAT MY REST SERVES NO OTHER PURPOSE THAN ATTUNING MYSELF WITH ARYTH. SPEAKING OF WHICH, HOW DID YOU FILL THE IDLE HOURS WHILE IN YOUR MILITARY SERVICE? I HAVE NOT HEARD MUCH ABOUT YOUR TIME SPENT WITH LORD EOATIN AND THE ELVISH PEOPLE. I ASSUME YOU HAVE SOME INTERESTING STORIES TO TELL OF THAT TIME."'''

The men my brother served with were out of a little farming village about 150 miles west northwest of Old Davindale, so there was a lot of activity when I grew up, not much time for toys and tricks of boyhood... I joined Mathue and the boys on my eleventh year, 'Buckum's Brigands' (that's what the 9 of them called themselves)"''' the dead man chuckles....

They sent a Reaver Pack down the river looking for us. With the constant flow of riverboats and seagoing ships stationed out of the ruins at Old Davindale it didn't take long to find a safe way across the sea to the Bluff..."''' realizing he's monopolizing the conversation he looks to his Master and trails off...		:: '''"...oh... our down-time sir?...

I was makin' the camp for everyone. It was alot more of the same when we hooked up with the Bluff resistance, then moved into the Erethor. The boys were more and more after that... there's many folk hiding in the Green Marches willin' to fight if you can wrangle them... It weren't until Mathue died that I joined up with the tree-herders going west..."''' Kaiel finds himself lying on the stone floor but still slowly sharpening his sword, an instinct by now... its always best to have a sharp blade.		:: '''"...so as I was sayin' sir, we were mostly on the run.

	~~<br>~~ '''"...so it weren't much of the military you'd think. I'd heard about my pa fighting with the Freeriders down south, but I haven't been much further than eyeshot of the Burning Line. I learned to ride across the Westlands... The elves though... they're somethin' else... I thought we was good at huntin', trackin' and the like. But the tree-herders, they run the woods like it moves out of the way for them. An' they can hear it... or at least they could. I hadn't met Lord Eoatin but the remainders of the 'Brigands' were pulled into his companies, we'd worked it out to be liaisons with the dozens of militia of the Marches. And they trained us. It was most like what you'd think a military unit training would be like. And some of the men actually said they could here the speaking of the trees... Master Eranon spoke of it earlier... 'the Whisperer'... I couldn't ever hear it though... the elves, they used it like another weapon. They'd use it to lead us into raids and listen again to lead us out of ambushes. It was sorta spooky. I'd never seen magic like that. But it worked!"''' Kaiel noticeably gets a little excited in remembering his adventures...		:: '''"...so it weren't much of the military you'd think.
