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 wayCylitheria: 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!!!!
