Pestis juggles a platinum breast plate.

Cordir smiles wryly as She looks at Pestis, flooded by memories.

Pestis smiles back at Cordir.

Cordir says, 'Such memories you bring back, Pestis.'.

The ebon flames within the archways roar up, in answer to the Lady's thoughts.

Dazzle blinks.

Pestis says (in common), 'many memories fade... but some will never'.

Beneath your feet, the Ebon Sigil Odegra coils around the Sapphire Glyph Argedo

Pestis says (in common), 'my Lord Thaygar is one of them'.
Pestis says (in common), 'the pattern folds back onto itself..'.

Cordir nods.
Cordir says, 'Aye...'.

Harmony says (in common), 'what once was in the beginning shall be the end'.

Harmony says (in common), 'the cycle of life'.

Pestis laughs softly.

Cordir says, 'Lady Pestis...'.
Cordir says, 'I wish that I could garb you.'.

Pestis shakes her head.
Pestis says (in common), 'it is not yet time'.

Cordir says, 'I have something that was a gift from Typhon.'.

Boromir raises an eyebrow.

Harmony says (in common), 'hmm...'.

Boromir smiles happily.

Cordir says, 'Long, long ago...'.

Pestis looks sad at the mention of another Triat Master gone from the realm.

Cordir nods and says, 'Only you and I remain of the Elder Triat Masters. And only Nyx, of the new. Three...Appropriate, of course.'.

Pestis nods slightly.

Cordir bows before Pestis, murmuring, "Wyld..."

Boromir ftells, '*chuckle* at one point .. I had even considered following that path '.

Cordir gestures and the image of Her Shadow appears. "Wyrm.."

Cordir indicates Herself. "Weaver."

Dazzle smiles at Cordir.
Boromir smiles at Cordir.

Trakker frowns.

Pestis smiles, the Wyld may not be represented in the faith, but it's line is not gone from our realm.

Boromir grins happily at Pestis.

Boromir says (in common), 'there is one of the Chosen who has a little Wyld in him ... but he is not here at the moment'.

Pestis grins wickedly.

Cordir says, 'Gregar?'.

Boromir says (in common), 'Gregar ... Tsarran'.

Boromir bows deeply.
Boromir says (in common), 'yes '.

Trakker contemplates the thoughts of auras extinguished, patterns desolving, threads fraying...
Trakker frowns at himself. Poor baby.

Tien comforts Trakker.
Boromir nods to Trakker as his own thoughts follow that path
Dazzle hugs Trakker.

Pestis says (in common), 'if there's one thing I've learned, it's that nothing can fray the threads, nor mar the Pattermn'.

Cordir nods in recognition to Pestis.

Pestis says (in common), 'take away the auras, yes... but not the others'.

Boromir says (in common), 'no.. but your vision of the pattern and clarity fades and diminises '.

Boromir sighs loudly.
Boromir says (in common), 'you will always have the pattern and a thread ... just your view becomes muddied and sullied'.

Cordir nods and says, 'The Triat always exists. There are times that we can percieve the Pattern more clearly.'.

Boromir ftells, 'when you retire Lady Cordir ... this will be the third following I have been a member of'.

Trakker ftells, 'this was my first.....'.
Trakker ftells, 'and will be my last....'.

Dazzle ftells, 'My first..'.

Cordir ftells, 'I beg you to forgive me that, Boromir.'.

Boromir ftells, 'a following that has .... *sigh* .,... has ..... *sigh* .. drifted away'.

Pestis says (in common), 'that perception can be trained, refined...'.

Cordir listens to the voices of her Chosen, and weeps.

Pestis utters the words, 'sanctuary'.
Cordir is surrounded by a white aura.

Pestis smiles up at Cordir sadly.

Boromir ftells, 'there is no need to speak fo forgiveness .... for the pattern has changed .. the threads are shifting ...'.
Boromir ftells, 'the weave is slowly rearranging'.
Boromir ftells, 'soon ,,, a different pattern ... *sigh* '.
Boromir ftells, 'the road at my feet ... around the corner lies .... places yet to see ... experinces yet to enjoy'.

Pestis tells Cordir (in common), 'Fear not for those of this realm, for it is your own soul that is in danger this time.'.
Pestis tells Cordir (in common), 'And without that, how can you help others, wherever you be?'.
Pestis lets out a deep sigh, then perks up.

Trakker ftells, 'I shall return to the forests from which I came, to retake my vigilant watch upon the children'.

Pestis says (in common), ''tis good to see you all again, and to meet those of you I had not yet met'.

Boromir bows before Pestis.
Trakker bows before Pestis.
Dazzle nods and bows before Pestis.

Boromir says (in common), 'well met Pestis ... '.
Tien bows before Pestis.

Pestis curtseys to the room.

Boromir says (in common), 'may your sword be sharp and your eye keen'.
Boromir bows deeply.

Pestis walks over to Cordir and whispers...
Pestis tells Cordir (in common), 'will you permit me?'.

Trakker says (in common), 'but dont run with your sharp sword or you may put out a keen eye'.

Pestis tells Cordir (in common), '*holds out her arms slightly*'.

Cordir turns towards Pestis.
Pestis hugs Cordir.

Cordir nods slowly and smiles at Pestis.

Pestis tells Cordir (in common), '*whispers in your ear* be well'.

Dazzle ftells, 'And for myself, I shall stand at each of your paths and look long after you have gone..for I will be lost.'.

Boromir ftells, 'dont be ... '.

Pestis waves once to the room.

Cordir slowly, ceremonially...

Pestis utters the words, 'word of recall'.
Pestis invokes recall magic.
Pestis disappears.

Cordir sketches the symbol of the Sigil Odegra in the air where Pestis stood.

Pestis arrives from the north.

Dazzle looks to his Lady.

Cordir tells Boromir, 'god, this is killing me. '.

Pestis blushes slightly.

Cordir arches an eyebrow inquisitively.

Dazzle blinks.

Cordir says, 'Yes, Lady?'.

Boromir prays, 'I know *comfort* ... as well as anyone could ... I know '.

Pestis mumbles something about missing something because she cast the wrong spell.

Cordir nods.
Cordir turns to face Pestis fully.
Cordir slowly and deliberately dips in a full, ceremonial curtsey, lowering nearly to the floor.
Cordir bows her head in a gesture of deep respect.

Boromir stands quietly.

Pestis blinks several times, hard, and curtseys to the Lady Cordir.

Dazzle stands unobtrusively, watching wordlessly.

Cordir's shoulders tremble.
Cordir slowly rises, and nods slowly to Pestis.

Pestis says (in common), 'good eve'.

Cordir says, 'Sister-in-Faith...'.

Boromir ftells, 'Dazzle ... if there is something I can do for you .. just ask :) '.

Cordir says, 'I charge you with a Geas.'.

Pestis stops on her way to the door.

Cordir says, 'Keep the Triat faith alive.'.

Pestis gulps.
Pestis nods solemnly, 'I will try'.

Cordir says, 'Even if it is only in your one soul that it survives...'.
Cordir says, 'Keep it alive.'.

Pestis nods thoughtfully to herself, and turns back for the door.
Pestis leaves north.

### Pestis has quit.

Boromir prays, 'let me know what is it I can do ... and if at all possible I will do it *smile* '.

Cordir tells Boromir, 'there isn't, much, really... simply be the rock of support you've always been.'.
Cordir tells Boromir, 'the good byes and tears are the hardest part to get through.'.
Cordir tells Boromir, 'I've got to start keeping a washcloth by my desk, for all the tears.'.

Boromir prays, '*sigh* *sniff* yeah I know '.

Dazzle ftells, 'Thank you Boromir.. and let it be the same for myself. I will look to you for guidance as I have..'.

Boromir ftells, '*wmbarassed grin* you may wish to seek Trakkers advice and guidnace first *smile* '.

Trakker ftells, 'who me?'.
Boromir ftells, 'yeah you! '. Boromir pokes Trakker in the ribs.

Dazzle ftells, '*smiles* Each of you has been a blessing.'.

Boromir ftells, 'for I am but a lowly mage of the Chosen '.
Boromir ftells, 'I am still learning of the ways of the world .. and there is sooo much to learn'.

Boromir bows deeply.
Dazzle ftells, '*grins*'.
Dazzle bows deeply.
Boromir ftells, '8grin *'.

Boromir prays, '*as always ... stands ready to be a shoulder ... an ear…'.

Cordir tells Boromir, '*smiles*'.

Dazzle ftells, 'I second that.'.
Trakker ftells, 'heh, i am always here to help, whenever i can'.
