PAXLAIR - June 27, 1999 - Ore Hound
It was a grand night in PaxLair the ale was flowen', the stories were a
telling and of course the beautiful ladies of the lair! I think I might have
had too much to drink for what I saw next next was truly a vision. A woman;
the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
She had long brown hair and a gown of silk green. I knew this woman from
before ( having seen her walk around Pax Lair ) but never knew her name. " Who
is she, that woman in green? " I asked Nightstorm as I leaned over the bar.
"Cylitheria, my fellow sister and rose of the lair. She is a quiet one and
tends to keep to herself ever since she found out..." Nightstorm paused and
went about his daily business.
I began to wonder what Cylitheria was hiding but I let it pass and I went
on drinking and having a good time. Hours passed and many had gone and come
and once again it might have been the ale I drank or even one to many shots to
the head but what I saw next was unreal.....
......Rhydain! Something was different though he was ALIVE! Now yes most
things are but the last time I remember Rhydian he was a death knight of the
group LEt under Darius's rule. Rhydain though was dressed in clothes that made
him look as royal as a king. When asked what happened to him he simply
shrugged and continued on his way as did I. Once again it seemed like hours
passed before something else happened ( always an eventful night in Pax Lair
it is ). It was getting late and the ladies lair was still filled to the brim.
Cylitheria came back into the pub claiming she had the chills and if I would
have known then what I know now I would have had them to.
Someone that hasn't been seen in Pax Lair came back, Varra Darkmaere the
once member of CoV, but now she didn't display those letters above her head,
instead she had Rhydain, the same Rhydain who was by her side; the
bloodsucking witch had turned him into one of the undead! She gazed the room
as her gaze met Cylitheria and now it was Cylitheria who had fallen under gaze
and was going to be the next victim. While all this was happening I noticed a
strange woman in a black dress writing in her journal everything that was
happening. Putting that aside and worrying about Cylitheria I rushed out and stood
between the two ( Varra and Cylitheria ) If it wasn't for Cyndra showing up
and taking Cylitheria away she would have surely fallen under Varra's dark
embrace. Inside I still heard the cackling of the evil Vampire and hernewest
prey and still could see the tears as Cylitheria wept on the bed seeking
answers. It was then the woman in the black dress and book and pen in hand
walked in sat down and began talking to Cylitheria... Savon Draven: only
to find another way
Cylitheria: No
Cylitheria: None of that rings familiar
Cylitheria: Only the dark of him standing before me
Savon Draven: *turns another page and takes a few more notes*
Cylitheria: I remember breaking free running the dungeons but wherever I went
Cylitheria: There he was following me
Cylitheria: I turned left and he was there
Cylitheria: I turned right and he was behind me
Cylitheria: There was no outrunning this hell deamon
Cylitheria
: He was in my head
Cylitheria: *Stops and starts to sob*
Savon Draven: *closes her book*
Ore Hound: *puts an arm around her*
Savon Draven: *puts away her pen*
Ore Hound: It's ok
Cylitheria: I must go on....
Savon Draven: are you sure ?
Cylitheria: Yes
Ore Hound: If you don't want it's ok i'm sure
Cylitheria: I remember
Cylitheria: 3 faces
Savon Draven: *opens her book*
Cylitheria: 2 men and a woman
Cylitheria: They said they were here to rescue me
Cylitheria: But how...?
Cylitheria: The one the woman she called me by my name yet I didn't know who
she was.
Ore Hound: This sounds familliar now...
Cylitheria: They helped me out of the imprisonment I was living in
Cylitheria: And then he appeared
Cylitheria: They fought him and......
Savon Draven: *jots down a few more notes*
Cylitheria: *Sobs*
Cylitheria: The woman and I were the only ones to get out
Cylitheria: To this day I don't know if he lives only in my nightmares do I
see him
Cylitheria: Standing over me
Cylitheria: Laughing
Cylitheria: I was lead to here
Cylitheria: *Cough*
Cylitheria: led
Cylitheria: Where Tycho gave me clothes and food
Cylitheria: But it was the
way he looked at me
Cylitheria: As if he knew me
Cylitheria: And was.....
Cylitheria: Scared
Cylitheria: Yet he took me in.
Cylitheria: I walked the streets of Pax after that
Cylitheria: Many people I didn't know who knew me by name
Savon Draven: yes im sure
Cylitheria: Like Tycho they had fear in there face
Ore Hound: *remembers that night quite clearly*
Cylitheria: Many times I was struck out at only to have the guards come to my
rescue
Rainstorm: Kal Ort Por
Ore Hound: Curse priest
Ore Hound: father
Cylitheria: *Looks up at that statement*
Cylitheria: Yes
Cylitheria: Many told me of the cursed Priest Vermillion
Cylitheria: They say it was Mortiock's curse
Cylitheria: And they say it was I that.....
Ore Hound: He said you caused it
Cylitheria: But that was impossible.
Savon Draven: not really
Cylitheria: *Sobs some more*
Cylitheria: I didn't believe the words they said
Cylitheria: That was when a man named Fraggle found me
Cylitheria: He told me that I was needed to help Vermillion
Savon Draven: *closes her book*
Cylitheria: *Wipes tears from face*
Savon Draven: *opens her book and turns to a blank page*
Ore Hound: *puts an arm around her once more*
Cylitheria: He said he needed me to help the cursed father
Savon Draven: *takes note of Ore's affections*
Cylitheria: Everytime I asked him if it was me he simply wor
ked all the harder
Cylitheria: The times I was free I would walk the streets of Pax
Cylitheria: Still people seemed to glare at me
Cylitheria: Some more than others
Savon Draven: yes like me i
n corwyn
Cylitheria: The Death Knights had a hatred for me,
Cylitheria: Which sent chills down my spine
Savon Draven: *nods and continues to write*
Cylitheria: It was then I saw him for the first time
Ore Hound: Rhydain...
Cylitheria: Vermillion
Ore Hound: *sigh*
Cylitheria: No not Rhydain....
Ore Hound: Death knight
Cylitheria: *Whispers the name Darius*
Ore Hound: knight
Savon Draven: actually it wasn't the first time
Savon Draven: *takes a side note*
Cylitheria: What?
Savon Draven: oh pay me no mind
Savon Draven: go on
Cylitheria: *Continues*
Savon Draven
: *motions for you to continue*
Cylitheria: I was walking
Cylitheria: And I saw Father Vermillion
Cylitheria: He ran at me with a blade in his hand and hate in his heart
Savon Draven: do you r
emember what color his eyes were ?
Cylitheria: He was hiding behind a helmet
Savon Draven: did they not glow ?
Cylitheria: I thought I would be struck down but Jasper stood between me and
him
Cylitheria: Glow...
Cylitheria: perhaps
Cylitheria: He would not fight Jasper to get to me
Savon Draven: mayhap a nice poisoned green ?
Cylitheria: He just said simply"Look into the witches eyes and you will see"
Cylitheria: I cannot forget that day
Savon Draven: hmm
Savon Draven: *looks up*
Savon Draven: witch is such a harsh word
Cylitheria: Jasper than took his helmet off
Cylitheria: And said a small prayer his hands touching mine.
Cylitheria: When we made eye contact....
Savon Draven: and at that momment what did you feel ?
Savon Draven: yes
Cylitheria: *Stops*
Savon Draven: *leans forward a bit*
Cylitheria: *Stares straight at the wall*
Ore Hound: i don't think i want to hear this
Cylitheria: He saw....
Ore Hound: *covers his ears*
Savon Draven: go on. . .
Cylitheria: *Wipes tears from her red eyes*
Cylitheria: Hello Rainstorm
Rainstorm: *eyes widen*
Savon Draven: Cyl
Rainstorm: Why art ye cryin Cyl
Savon Draven: what happened next ?
Cylitheria: Yes?
Cylitheria: Its nothing RainStorm
Cylitheria: I am ok
Rainstorm: *smiles softly over her shoulder*
Rainstorm: Well...
Rainstorm: If ye need me I'll be out front
Cylitheria: Thank you sister
Cylitheria: *Smiles at the word sister*
Savon Draven: *taps the pen on the page*
Cylitheria: Yes...Jasper
Cylitheria: Our eyes met and what I saw in his eyes I cannot forget
Savon Draven: what did you see in that moment ?
Cylitheria: He saw terror, his very hair like Vermillions had turned white in
front of me
Savon Draven: and he said . . . ?
Cylitheria: He started to scream " It cannot be it cannot be "
Cylitheria: " She is dead "
Savon Draven: *smiles and closes her book*
Savon Draven: and that is all i needed this night
Savon Draven: *nods*
With that the woman got up and walked away. Confused to say the least I ran
out after her where she then proceded to tell me that some things can't change
that some people were ment to walk certain roads and that they cannot be
changed. And that if an ill fate awaits Cylitheria then that is her path and
she will face it alone. I will not let this happen and I refuse to stand by
and let Varra Darmare get her claws on the rose of the lair so help me god
even if it kills me!!!!
