Dazzle gasps in astonishment. Cordir swallows hard, brushing away tears. Dazzle bites at his lower lip. Cordir says, 'It.. is... turning into a negative in my life.'. Harmony says (in common), 'however, i feel that i would love to serve your following to my best of my ability for the remainder of the time you shalt be here'. Harmony says (in common), 'but i do understand if that is your decision'. Cordir pauses and thinks for a moment. Tien sniffs sadly. Cordir turns her face away, and covers it with her hands, her shoulders trembling. Harmony comforts Cordir. Trakker utters the words, 'strength'. Harmony hugs Cordir. Dazzle clenches his teeth against the lump which rises in his throat.. Cordir turns towards her Emissary, and hides her face in his shoulder, weeping. Trakker hugs Cordir. Harmony wonders what shall become of neutrality. Pestis nods in recognition to Harmony. Cordir says, 'Harmony... '. Trakker stands silent, motionless. Cordir says, 'I cannot fail to have the courage to match yours, and accept...'. Harmony nods. Cordir says, 'What aspects remain of your entry quest?'. Harmony says (in common), '1 geasa and a description'. Cordir says, 'A history?'. Harmony nods. Cordir gathers herself, and turns back to face Harmony. Cordir swallows hard. c sum boromir Boromir ftells, 'wow'. Dazzle ftells, 'Hi Boromir..'.

Cordir nods. Trakker stares remorsefully at the emerald thread woven within the Tapestry. Harmony nods. Boromir comforts Trakker. Harmony says (in common), 'i was brought up with being a nashite'. Cordir says, 'Realize... keeping the faith within the Chosen puts a target on your back.'. Harmony nods. Dazzle says (in common), 'I can vouch for that.'. Harmony takes pride in her bowl of pigeon steew she bought in aran. Dazzle beams a smile at Harmony. Dazzle looks about the Tapestry, lost in thought. Cordir pauses and thinks for a moment. Harmony nods. Trakker sighs loudly. Harmony looks thoughtfully at guardian. (A conversation takes place with Pestis... and then A lengthy discussion of restrings and simple rings ensues while Harmony writes the required History) Cordir stops using the Band of the Stormreaver. Trakker sighs loudly. Cordir gets (Glowing) Threads from the Pattern from (Tattooed) (Writhing) The Covenant of the Chosen. Boromir sighs loudly.

Trakker says (in elven), 'I will do my best'. Trakker stops using (Indigo Aura) The Blade of Fate. Trakker stops using (Glowing) Threads from the Pattern. Harmony feels that Cordir has gained knew knowlege about harmony. Cordir steps afk a moment, to check for messages in the Web. Cordir nods quietly, and gestures to the Guardian Spider within the Pattern. The tiny spider creeps forth, growing larger as it reaches its mistress. Harmony smiles softly at the spider. The Guardian spider looms over the tiny figure of the goddess before you. Boromir stands back a bit. Dazzle wonders at the sight, and steps back.. Its mandibles clicking, the Guardian spider look down at Harmony, eight eyes flickering in the firelight. You hear a voice in your mind: *Step forth, Child.* Harmony steps forward ready to meet her fate. The enormous arachnid dips its thorax in a slow bow. Boromir ftells, '*wonders if a spider would wear glasses ... and would they be called octal-focals? :)'. Harmony curtseys gracefully. The remarkably enormous spider turns and glances at Boromir, mandibles clicking. Boromir ftells, 'hmmm if the spider needed toread as well ... bi-octal-focals? '. Dazzle takes a step away from Boromir. Trakker utters the words, 'strength'. You hear a voice in your mind: *You, Boromir, are small and crunchy. And would taste good with catsup.* Dazzle takes a few more. Boromir sniffs sadly. Harmony giggles. Cordir covers her ears with her hands. Dazzle blinks at Harmony, seemingly stunned. Cordir says, 'Please... I beg you.. have mercy on your poor goddess.'. Dazzle ftells, 'And her hapless followers!'. Boromir says quietly .. yes M'lady. Cordir says, 'Here she is, trying to accept her last follower...'. Tien gasps in astonishment. Dazzle ftells, '*does not relish the thought of being in Boromir's shoes*'. Cordir says, 'DAZZLE!'. Boromir steps to the rear of the temple. Dazzle winces. Ouch! Cordir bursts into giggles. Dazzle follows suit. Cordir says, 'What am I going to do with you two?'. Dazzle stifles a laugh. Trakker arrives from the north. Boromir says (in common), 'keep us? '. Cordir says, 'Tien, you may have lost link for this part'. Boromir grins happily. Cordir says, 'But I am ... not staying with TFC much longer.'. Harmony hugs Tien. Cordir says, 'I made that plain to Harmony, but it is still her wish to join..'. Dazzle sighs quietly. Cordir says, 'Chosen..'. Trakker says (in common), 'fol me'. Harmony joins Trakker's group. Cordir nods. Dazzle joins Trakker's group. Dazzle smiles happily. Cordir says, 'Tien, you are welcome to accompany'. Trakker says (in common), 'i miss anyone?'.

Cordir says, 'One of many, Harmony.'. Harmony nods. Cordir says, 'Pardon..'. Boromir falls silent ... lost in thought. Trakker appears out of nowhere.

The acceptance ceremony thrown quite awry, the Chosen, Harmony and Tien regroup in the Tapestry of Fate.]
( 2) A delicious magic mushroom is here. Cordir breathes quietly. Harmony breathes softly. Cordir gestures, and suddenly, you feel as if you are elsewhere... Cave Conjoining N'Kai A Message has been scrawled on the bloody floor. Harmony smiles happily. Boromir gestures and the room darkens a bit ..as if in a cave. ### [Nyx tells Craige (in common), 'That was... tactless.'] Tien arrives from the north. Nyx bows before Tien.

Cordir says, 'I accept oaths beneath the Sigil Draktha, because the Chosen are like that Sigil...'. Harmony nods. Cordir says, 'Standing between the darkness and the light. The Sigil is old... some day it will fail...'. Boromir ftells, 'we havent '. Harmony nods. Nyx squeezes the Lady's hand slightly. Cordir says, 'Placing ourselves between the light and the dark... Always providing strength, aid and comfort, in the face of evil and horror and harm... Bringing light and eduation, help and example...'. Harmony nods.
