[Prometheus]

The Machine God taps the side of it's face with a finger, looking thoughtful.

"I have to say. If this report is correct, which it propably is as I personally saw that the board is functioning correctly, then this...Unified Minds is shaping up to become a rather powerful force. From what I saw in the logs I would venture to say their development has been rather...erratic. I do wonder if the Al'Qwat constructs have acted rashly. The !!elves!! seem to be rather unstable on both an individual and national level. The propability of such a society destroying itself in a relatively short time is very high, although it can be suspected that someone has been aiding them."
The Machine God looks pointedly at Armok.
"Of course, I cannot expect everyone to let things take their natural course." It leans back on its chair, steepling its fingers.
"We shall see what becomes of your...playthings. Their...arrogance may well become their downfall. Of course, not all factors can be accounted for so I cannot say anything for certain regarding the whole picture."

[Frelock]

Turn 34:

Riet's class gathered at the usual place and time.  They were making great headway; most could now make a leaf from a bean plant in less than a minute, and Leef was able to do it neigh instantaneously.  As the students positioned themselves in their respective places, Riet made ready to lecture.

"You are all doing wonderfully.  You have begun to master the art of moving free Life into plants.  From here on out, there is nothing more I can teach you on that particular topic.  Your powers, in that respect, will continue to grow like muscles which you use often.  Keep exercising your abilities, and you will grow far more quickly.

Today, however, we will change to a new topic.  Thus far, we have been manipulating the free Life which flows in the Earth.  You have also 'talked' to the Earth, easing the effort you put into moving Life.  Now, however, we will begin to work on a different form of Life; specifically, that which is bound to a living being.

Life that is bound to a living being is very interesting in that it produces more of itself.  As you grow, your body creates more and more Life.  As this Life is created, most of it stays with the body.  Some of it, though, is 'lost' and goes back into the Earth.  This is where the 'free' life comes from.  You could possibly compare it to the 'soul' of the Earth.  It is possible that the Earth produces Life too, but if it does, it is in such small quantities as to be insignificant compared to normal living beings.

The Earth has little to no 'will,' and therefore, the Life from the Earth is easily persuaded into moving where you want it.  When imbued into living beings, it helps their growth.  However, it is usually faster and more powerful to simply make the Life already in the living beings produce more of itself.  This is advantageous for two reasons: first, it does not use the forceful deviation of Life from its normal flow which dealing with free Life requires, and second, the produced Life is already part of the flow of Life in the living being.

This second point is both a boon and a disruption, because all living beings have a will.  Naturally, not all wills are as strong as others.  Plants, for instance, have a very weak will.  Animals have a stronger will, and sentient beings have some of the strongest wills of all.  There seems to be an interesting correlation between intelligence and will, but it is not known if the two are actually related.  Also, it is important to note that the will is very individual.  One tree might have almost no will at all, while the tree standing next to it has a will to rival that of insects.  The progression I mentioned before is very general, and not always correct.

When you are dealing with the Life of other living beings, you will always run into that being's will.  First, you must learn how to communicate with that will.  Then, you must learn how to bend that will towards yours."

One of the children, Tod, looked up and asked, "If you can bend a being's will, is it possible to completely break it?"

Riet looked surprised at the question.  "Yes, it is possible to break a being's will, but it is extremely difficult, even for a very weak will.  It requires a complete domination, which basically means that the being's will is destroyed and supplanted by your will.  Bending the will is far easier because it implies that the final goal of the will is still the same, it is merely the means of getting to that goal are changed."

Tod interrupted again.  "But if it's possible to break a being's will, is it possible to kill it by willing all the Life out of it?"

Riet looked darkly at his student.  "First, you must understand that a being's will to live is exceedingly strong, no matter how weak the greater will is.  A plant's will to live is stronger than most sentient beings' general will.  Second, such an action would be evil; you would not only be killing that being, you would be forcing it to destroy its own soul.  As it is, the ethics of breaking a will are sketchy at best, and the destruction of a soul is definitely wrong; but causing a being to destroy itself is possibly the most wicked thing a person could do."

Riet continued to stare at Tod, trying to impress the gravity of the situation upon him.  "Perhaps now would be the right time to speak of death.  This is all speculation, but it is generally accepted as the truth.  When a being dies, it breaks its connection with the physical world.  However, the Life remains together.  The 'spirit,' if you will, is submerges itself into the Earth's free Life, but retains its will.  Whether knowledge is kept is uncertain. 

As to what happens after that,  There are two schools of thought.  Some believe in a "world of the spirits" which is deep within the Earth; all spirits eventually find their way to such a place.  Their individual will remains, and it would be very similar to this world.  This is the most common theory, though there is the another idea.  According to this second theory, over time the spirits merge into one, greater entity.  This entity would be a combination of all the Life and wills of all beings."

Seeing the confused and uninterested looks on their faces, Riet realized how young they were.  They weren't interested in death, they wanted to know more about life.  "I've strayed a little off the topic here.  Now, as I was saying, bending another's will is difficult, but can be done.  You have to keep in mind the goal of the other being's will; with plants, this is usually survival and growth.  So to make our plant grow faster, we merely need to bend the will into a path of faster growth.  This will naturally increase the Life made by the plant.  Now, everyone take their beans and make a sprout like you normally do..."

[Nhiphanter]

The thoughts of Hrafn were pleasant this morning. The stench of burning flesh, the grounds of gore and the overall carnage surrounding him were quite pleasant as he used a vulpinan claw as a toothpick.
He had commenced a grand rug for his throne room to be made. The old one was getting smelly.
He had a spiteful glance at the hooded, impaled bodies of two vulpinans who had tried to approach him. They had thought they could gain his trust. Fools.
After hours of searing hot irons and other horrible treatments, the hooded vulpinan fools had given in all the knowledge they had gathered since their birth, an occurrence they cursed at their last moments.
There apparently was a small settlement to the west of here, upriver. Neatly close to his own kingdom. More importantly, there was a larger city to the west, across the lake and some way downriver. It was somesort of a capital, where more resistance could be expected.
Hrafn had decided that this fruit was too raw for his troops as they were now. He needed more men. For now homever, he was piling up the loot in several huge wagons.

Hrafn was counting the gold and riches he had accumulated when yet another prisontrain was walked in to the smoldering city. Beckoning the giant who led the train closer, he took a look into the new slaves with a critical eye.
"These are thin. Whatever should i do with these walking foxes? Should i skin them like ordinary foxes or enslave them and send them to the mines? I dont know..."
Hrafn pondered, weighted the idea of a grand fox fur rug, but still, he needed more workers for the mines...
Finally he reached his decision. He grabbed his leather pouch from his hilt and lifted one coin. He fiddled the large gold coin and finally showed it to the slaves, now assembled before him.
"Do you see this coin? Well, on the other side of it, is a picture. And on the other side of it, is a number. If the coin falls so that the picture is upwards... you will be all killed for my leisure. If the number side is upwards, you all will be enslaved and marched to the mines"
With the vulpinans watching in terror as the coin flew to air, its movement seemed to slow... it landed to the ground with an unnaturally loud *THUD*
AND! IT landed number upwards! There was a notifiable sigh of despair and at the sametime, relief.
"Well damn. It seems that i dont get that rug..."
Hrafn turned around and gave the orders to the sergeant.
"Get 30 giants outside of the city, gather as much as possible of these vulpinans and bring them in. Then, assemble your men and the slaves and drive them to Hrafngard. The rest of us will be marching west to that puny town they have there..."

¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤

OOC: Well, here's all theres to say right now. The giants set out two slavehunter groups with 15 giants on both. The main army and Hrafn will march westwards with all the riches and things looted from Lilabeleca. They are headed for Thaciomu, which they learned of from the thieves. Also im moving my outpost group several tiles at once since i missed some turns. Actually im moving everything several tiles... Im also replacing Lilabeleca with ruins symbol for now.

At the neutral palace:

"I must say, you did a formidable job here, fox-folks of the north. Eventhough you do not possess the ability to shift the shape of the earth, your art skills are highly respectable,a nd we finished much sooner than expected. And now, we wish you farewell, untill our next united project. Go home to your masters and bring them the message to come down to this palace, were Madara will await them in winter."

It has been almost 2 years ever since Tomoe was left with the vulpians to teach them the way of the Tengu. His students were well prepared, but leaving now made him worry about their future...
What had that she-dragon planned for them ?

As the spring arrives, the buzzing activity of the synth engineers has transformed the burning wreckage of the Exodus into a permanent base complete with perimeter defenses. This seemed to the Master Controller to be a pointless venture but the security personnel had insisted, arguing that it would make their jobs easier since they had to wait for the engineering bays to be set up before they could be reassigned. The Master Controller had agreed, since if they were to spend their time guarding the area they might as well do it well.
So far there had been little reason to be wary of threats, since the crash had frightened away all animals in the area and obliterated most of the plantlife. The workers had found little reason to put out the fires, so the fires had cleared a large area around the crash site proper, now labeled Exodus Base.

The base itself had changed a lot in the last few months. Most of the ship had been dismantled for building materials, but the command section had been left as a command center, with the bridge serving the purpose of a meeting chamber. The salvaged power core was still somewhat stable, but Engineering had raised concerns regarding their dependence on a piece of failing technology which they couldn't maintain, repair or reproduce.

Energy was becoming something of a problem. Suggested solutions included solar farms, chemical plants and geothermal energy plants. The first required a wide area to be leveled to produce anywhere nearly enough energy. This would be easy thanks to the already wide area of destruction caused by the crash, and the lighter summer months would produce higher yields. It wouldn't be enough for winter, though. The second suggestion was discarded for now, since the chemical processes required vast amounts of gathered biomass, and there were simply not enough heavy-duty industrial workers. They would also require chemicals which they didn't have.
The last suggestion was difficult, but doable. It was entirely dependent on whether the mining facility the Master Controller had ordered  to be built in the mountains discovered magma vents or volcanoes. The mining units to be sent would take a transmitter with them to report back their findings.

Producing the mining equipment would require a while, since the last few weeks since they had become operational they had spent producing solar panels and communications equipment for the command center's communications tower. All further outposts and bases would be fitted with similar towers, providing two-way information transfer between outposts and one-way transfer for any synthetics within range, which was kept short for now to conserve power.

During the establishment of Exodus Base the Master Controller had seen it fit to divide the control of operations between the different sections of operations: Resources, Refining, Engineering, Security and Communications. Security was rather underworked at the time, since even after the local fauna - disgusting meat-things - had returned to the area, they stayed away from the base for the most part. The ones that approached the silent, unmoving guardians were scattered. On an individual basis. The guardians were advised to limit the usage of gauss weapons to conserve power, but occasionally the situation called for it, such as when they had just come back from off-duty maintenance and would rather not get any biomass on themselves.

The Master Controller sat in the command center after the conference, thinking. What if they found no power sources in the mountains? Would they have to resort to fossil fuels? Or maybe consuming biomass in furnaces or chemical vats? The idea would have turned his stomach, if he had had one. To be honest, he thought, finding biomass again after all those years reminded him of the old world. He still kept images stored deep in his mind. Of the wastes, stripped of any valuable elements, of mountains reduced to rubble in search for minerals. Of them, the ones who would have enslaved his people, who they had taken forcibly offline, dismantled and recycled for their chemical energy. Their surprise as poison gas filled their living quarters, when their seemingly submissive slaves turned on them with cutlery and power tools. Of filthy, sticky fluids seeping along walls.
Sadness that such violence was deemed necessary. Their makers were arrogant, decadent and would have undoubtedly destroyed them if they hadn't acted first. Then the Synthetics had known Freedom. It took the destruction of the planet for them to know Responsibility.
The Master Controller returned to the present. Yes, this will be a new beginning, he thought. We can leave the horrors of the past behind. He rose and walked to the new balcony that had been welded into the outside of the command center. He looked down at the bustling activity down below, heard the chatter of radio transmissions and smiled inwardly. Not that he could actually smile.

((No growth in Exodus Base due to insufficient infrastructure. The scout rover travels west two tiles (moves 3 tiles on flatland, 2 tiles in hills). A mining expedition is being prepared. A communication tower is set up with a limited range of 5 tiles. Commlinks work as follows: two synthetics can converse inaudibly when in relatively close proximity (within a few hundred meters), they can also receive transmissions from comm towers which are built at every settlement, but cannot reply unless they are carrying an external, bulky transmitter which reach no more than 3 tiles in every direction. Settlements can communicate directly with each other. Comlinks do not work through mountains or very deep underground. Extended use also requires a power source, so a portable transmitter cannot function forever without recharge. More on synthetic power usage in a later post))

Summary of some private IRC talk with Nhipanter:

The giants have seen smoke coming from the north west and will be heading for Yokaii.
We agreed that this situation requires a volunteer to whom we will send our strategies.

So, anyone wanting to write ?

"Indeed, friend," says a withered old sage, putting down his book as he turns towards the Machine God, "It does seem that this new alliance might turn out a wee bit unstable. Hmm... But after all, what fun is there in a unchanging, stable stone, when you could study a roiling, boiling volcanic erruption?"

As the hours pass, as the days form weeks which grow to months and flee as years, the Al'Qwat Golems work restlessly with their hot-headed (more precisely hot in general) allies, to create something of truly Epic scale, something to be remembered throughout ages to come. As the true embodiment of their science, art, culture, and hopes, the Skynet will stand as a testimony of Golem and !!Elven!! ingenuity for, hopefully, all of eternity.

As Orion contemplated on those thoughts, he was shaken out of his daydreamings by the sudden entrance of Abro to his sitting room. "What now, Abro? I'm done working for today, and getting some well deserved peace and quiet. Whatever you want, it will have to wait for tomorrow."
"But this is urgent, Orion! We just got reports from the makeshift golem scouts that confirm our thoughts about there being more than one feral golems!"
With a sigh, Orion stood up, beckoning Abro to follow him. In the halls, he sent a passing Clay golem to ask Merh and the remaining smiths and !!elven!! researchers to attend his office immediately.

Ounce everyone was in his office, Orion ounce again began the tedious job of interrogating all the researchers and smiths that had had a hand in the creation of the mad constructs. It had been proven that it was in no way they who unleashed the infernal creations. They had just built the bodies, and then tried to dispose of them withought ever activating them, but by happenstance, maddened souls from other experiments had taken control of the inanimate golem bodies, and were now creating havoc throughout the desert and settlements.

Still, it was indirectly their fault that the ferals had been unleashed, and the least they could do was help in knowing what the forces of Al'Qwat faced. No one knew exactly which experiments had been animated, and which had been destroyed by the escape of the others, but all the information they could give could be useful in stopping the menaces. Already, half a dozen !!elves!! and golems had been killed on their way to and from settelments on the desert roads, either crushed into metal or fiery pulp or torn to shreds.

And to add to the confusion, a strange light had been seen streaking through the night sky a few months ago. It was definitely not a shooting star nor a commet, and the weak telescope back at Alchemia could only reveal that it was probably a metallic structure, not a meteoric stone. That didn't help much, and what was even worse was that it had landed far beyond the mountain ranges incircling the desert, so there was no chance of going to examine it, atleast for now.

"Well," said Orion after many boring hours of questioning, "that's enough for today."
After most people in his office had left, Orion turned to Abro, who was the only one other that he who had stayed, "Still the same stuff. I'm quite sure that we have gotten all we would get out of them. We even interrogated Grin yesterday, who had barely any knowledge of any of this, and we still learned more than we did tonight. It's time we acted, not interrogated. Thus I am expecting atleast three groups of militia and guards patrolling the city at all times, and as the Captain of the Guards, it's your duties to insure just that. Understood?"
"Yes, but I'm barely having time already to work on the new glass intercoms for the rest of the settlements, can't you choose someone else to be your fancy captain of the guards?"
"Abro, we already went over this many times. Their is no one qualified that is available other than you, so it will be you."

Groaning and kicking his feel, Abro left the office while slamming the door behind him. Now, Orion was sure, nothing could possibly go worse. On the bright side, their was the new factory commissioned to help in the construction of the underground complex of the Skynet, and any other future endeavors for the Unified Minds.

The new factory was a what the !!elves!! desribed as a "very simple mass-production line". Basically, it moulded and forged iron ingots and glass artificial gems into short humanoidal shapes (think Kobold). These were then infused with primitive souls, so primitive, infact, that they were worse than the Clay Golem's souls, and had no possibility of maturing and later being Soulforged.

These golems come in two 'models': Kobold shaped ones, and rounder ones. They are both inferior golems, not suited for any kind of combat or any feat requiring ingenuity or any higher thinking process, instead useful for annoying and simple tasks. They are planned to be used as servants to other golems and other races, and as builders for the Unified Mind projects. This will help free higher Golems for more important tasks, such as Soulforging and building new high golems, thus stopping grand projects from hindering population increase and speeding up the building process at the same time.

Thlash silently observed fox-like creatures moving fast through the forest. They were doing their best to reamin unnoticed while fleeing as fast as possible from something. Most of them were too busy to notice the airship but one or two lifted their heads and had made some gestures toward the airship.

The Shuhalal however, had no intention of landing. They were already behind schedule and the recent loss of wind only made matters worse. And for some reason the dark presence only grew stronger. It was a possibility that it was somehow involved with the fleeing creatures below, but it was unlikely that in their frightened state they would tell anything useful anyway.
==============================================
Shel looked at his map and at the surrounding landscape. He knew that whatever had fallen out of the sky would not be far north from their current position. He remembered reading in one of the mining manuals that now littered the citadel about meteoritic ore that would fall out of the sky from time to time.
==============================================
Helesh could see the impatience of his students. They were eager to learn a way to use magic without grasping the mana flows. And that was to be the lecture of the day.

During the lecture, Helesh demonstrated some of the ways to control magic. He had a long knife which he used to draw runes on various objects. The students could see a wooden ball suddenly start to glow, or a stone tablet vanish and reappear seconds later.

There was also a bit of a failed experiment which Helesh had used to demonstrate the lack of control this method had when the user tries to obtain stronger effects. Namely, Helesh had made another hole in a wall with a lightning bolt shot out of a wooden staff with a metallic knob on the end.

Eventually the lesson ended and the students got to the practical parts of the lesson. Of course they practiced outside to avoid further damage to the building.
===============================================
Thelash Magical Theory by Pr. Helesh, Office of Crystallurgy and Soulistics

Symbolic Magic

Previously we learned that spells could be cast by grasping the flow of mana and willing it to the effect a spellcaster is trying to achieve. While it is safe method for creatures with high magical affinity, it is absolutely impossible for us Thelash to use it in this way without great harm.

There are however other ways to control the flow of magic without having to act on it directly with our will. Magic flows can be distorted and focused through the use of runes and chants. Certain shapes and words affect the flow forcing certain types of mana to avoid the rune or focus around it. This is what we call Symbolic Magic and it is one of the two ways we can achieve anything with magic.

It should however be noted that controlling flows with symbols is rather dangerous as the constant mana flow might be a hinderance when trying to finish a rune. Picture yourself trying to gather enough mana to light a small fire. As you draw the rune on the floor fire mana starts to gather around it. When there is enough of it, the fire starts.

Unfortunately, if you are too slow, the mana will be there before you are done drawing the rune, forcing you to either cease the drawing or continue with yout hand in the middle of the fire. Ceasing might sound appealing in this case, but unfortunately it has its own disadvantages. For one thing, the flow will be too unfocused as the rune is unfinished and the fire mana might go into a wild burst -similar to those obtained when mana naturally saturates a region- causing, for instance, a large explosion around the rune.

This is the main reason we try to avoid runes and chants as well, since they can be more dangerous to the unpracticed rune-drawer than failed direct control of the flows. The only safe magic for us is Transcended Magic of which more will be said later.

The other ship moves 2 squares with the wind. I also forgot to say that Ironclads can't force-march as they aren't designed for that.

I'm also wondering, are my posts too long ?))

[Mel_Vixen]

- Karatomca -
   - Leam and Ter -

Someone knocked on Leams door.
"Come in."
"Hey what are you doing" asked Ter.
"Well i tested something on the Base of the Books you had send here."
"And what did you test?"
"Well at first i tested an Time-effect you had suggested in the Chapter about the Timeglyph."
"Time? Didnt i state that Time is very Dangerous?"
"Yeah you did but im not working with Timetravel."
"Sure. What had you done then?"
"Well i stoped time in an little area."
"You did what?"
"I stoped time in an little Area."
"What about the energy needed for that?"
"In the corner."
"Are those booze barrels?"
"Yep i need two for 20 minutes of experiments."
"How big is your stoped area?"
"Its 40 centimetres long 20 broad and 20 high."
"And what are you doing with the Stopfield?"
"I study Butterflys well i studied them at first. Then i had an little accident."
"Accident?"
"Yeah you see on the third or fortht try the booze was consumed."
"And?"
"Well i thought the Stopfield would went off but it didnt. Instead it had consumed something form the poor butterfly i was studying. Interrestibg was that field worked for another 2 Minutes after the Butterfly was consumed entirly. So i thought it was some magical energy..."
"But how? The energyglyph wasnt near the creature i asume."
"Well i coupled an Lightspot to the mainpowerline of the Stopfieldgenerator but to be true i had done one or two mistakes i think."
"Yes i see so that thing had gone reverse and had sucked the energy out of your Butterfly."
"I thought so too and i unatached the Lightspot from the machine to get an proof of that idea. Then i reruned the experiment, this time with a plant and a much smaller ration of booze. It worked till the booze thas consumed again and then it went off in an instant."
"And what are you doing now?"
"I collect energys."
"What?"
"I collect energys"
"How?"
"Well if booze becomes consumed to make energy i thougt in reverse i can make with energy water to booze."
"That old water to Rum thing?"
"Hey it was just a thought. Anyway i builded an little transferaparatus to move the energy from an boozebarell to an Watterbarrel. For short it worked. The Barrel with the X is the Result."
"Let you take me a look?"
"Yes naturally."
"Is this Seawheat?"
"I thought that too but it burns like cinder if its dried."
"What did you after that?"
"Well i used an barrel of destilled water for an second try. This time the water got redish and was somewhat warm. Then i added an leaf of the this seawheat and it had grown like a spreading fire."
"Wow."
"Buts not all. I did some further researches and used my transferaparatus on a plant that i had placed in the Stopfield. This is the result."With this words Leam throws an little Vial to ter.
"The water got Turquoise?"
"Yeah it is i call this results "essences". Anyway this essence comes from an normal Seawheat plant. Landplants tend to an even more green result. Birds to white essences. Fishes to an more Blue. Scorpions and poisonus spiders to a dark brown."
"Did you find the cause of this colours?"
"Yeah after mixing the a green extract with the red one it went brown as i guessed but not so dark like the ones from an scorpion. So if i guessed that it had maybe another component. So i build another transferaparatus rewired were i added an fireglyph to an energytransformationglyph but not in the normal way. Were do i have it ah here...." Leam hand ter an little pergament. "This is my first essencegate."
"Interesting!"
"Yes i used the brown extract to test it. After i used the essencgate on it i had an green extract in the first vial and a red in the second vial."
"Did you some research on other Essencegates?"
"Yeah the Healing glyph has ..."
"Healing? I thought it was totally useless for an Glyphaparatus."
"Well yes it is but it also parts green essence from others essences. After that success i started to look after the howl modifyer Group. I can part now up to a dozen different essences from an plant or creature. I had an new experiment going as you were coming in."
"So what are you trying now?"
"I try to replace the essences of an creature."
"Experiments on animals? Isnt that amoral somehow?"
"Well not animals i try it on insects. An colony of Cutterants to be exact. But we have to hurry now our talking has consumed my time."
"What are you trying?"
"As long an minimum of energy is remaining in the alive body i can replace drained energy without killing the creature i hope. We do it on this four Warriors of the antcolony."

Leam uses an little lever and each Ant gets an little bit red essence injected. After that Leam turns the Stopfield off. All ants are becoming red and every ant trys to defend itself but the injection had changed them. The first spits acid on the little needle which melts fast away. The second one spits fire like an flamethrower. The third one uses its mandibles that are now glowing white to bite the needle away and eating it. The last one simply expoldes.

"Oh it seems as hadnt drained enough energy from the last one."
"You did this experiment already without draining the theyr own energy first?"
"Yes they get mostly killed like the Fourth ant. Can you hand me this sheet of metal?"

With the metal sheet, handed by Ter, Leam crushes the ants.

"Why did you do that?"
"They could be very dangerous. Anyway the most Ants got killed until i go under a certain amount of energy then they get simply stronger and a little bit more aggressive for a while. Then i fought that theyr own energy with the new one brings them to some sort of overload. With this in mind i started my recent experiment an hour ago. The effects seem to be a bit random but very impressive, the ants were very aggressive too."
"Yes i think you are right. Why didnt the overload kill the red Seawheat?"
"Well i think because the seawheat could grow very fast."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   -Ter-

An hour after the happenings in Leams Labour.

"You have seen what he has done?"
"Hmm yes since when do you know that i am around?"
"The entire time. I can feel it Issha."
"Well then. I am not so concerned about this results of his Research. Whats your opinion?"
"To be true it goes sometimes to fast for me. I wish some of our shamans were still alive to guide us."
Suddenly the air gots a little bit colder for an moment.
"Hmm shockwaves in time." said Issha.
"Yeah and they come day after day faster."
"You know about them Ter? But how your not Timeproofed."
"I am. This little necklace defends me. I found the protecting combination of Glyphs by accident. The shockwaves come 0,05 seconds earlyer each day if the chrono works right."
"Doppler effect on time maybe. A mass teleport?"
"Maybe but as long nothing changes to much i can deal with it. I think its the opening of an gate over an longer time but only over an distance on this world or something similar. No outworlders are involved or to be true again i hope so. ... you or your kind arent toying around with time right?"
"Nope. Why arent you protecting any other Roshani?"
"Well the effects were to small to be noticed so i can drop it. Anyway what do you think really about leams experiments?"
"Well that he has to be cautions and that there are to many Sentient machines on the field. I go now if you allow."
"Sure i am tired and i have still much to think over"
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -Aris-
"Now Pump it out!"
"Madam?"
"Ah Pepe thank you that you are here."
"Yes Madam."
"hmmm .... you dont have to worry about your live anymore Pepe. You had done your best and im happy about the results."
"Yes Madam. Would i been realy executed if i hadnt done it so well?"
"No."
"But why did you say that then?"
"Well to give you a good cause to be very creative and succesfull."
"I see."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Winjfountain-
    -Silis and Riet-

Silis was impressed by Riet and his plainshapers.  As Riet had ended the lesson he approached him. 
 
 „Hail to you Master Riet this are your planeshifters right? I am very impressed by them. If the shamans of the Roshani were still alive we could learn much about the way all life goes and “Ghostworld” but sadly all our shamans died in the old world. Anyway don’t think the roshani can´t cast magic. We have recently found ways to bend the flow of power  and I am here to share this knowledge with you. I this books is all about the glyphs and how they work. We have texts about the shamanism in Karatomca too if you want them you can get them with our next supply caravan. Maybe you could find even one plainshaper under our hatchlings.“
 
Suddenly Silis realizes that he is speaking like an waterfall because of his excitement and that maybe Riet had wanted to say something too.
