(^ That could work.)

Estelle looked around at the runes in wonder as she followed Devarion to the Lunar alter. She had very little memory of the place, though she had lived for several ages. She watched briefly as
Kena raced down the eastern corridor to fetch the water. It was just as well, the messenger goddess had the greatest speed of them all, she would probably be able to find the well the quickest. Sinking down on the hard floor, Estelle surrendered to her exhaustion. She watched silently as Kena handed the goblet to Devarion before sinking upon the stairs. Estelle leaned back against her hands, turned her face toward the ceiling and breathed in deeply. She knew that they were all exhausted from the battle with Asmundr. With that she turned her attention back to Devarion, waiting for what he would do next.

When Azra arrived he found no one there. He loked puzzeled for a moment then lifted his hands and seemed to clutch at something. "A portal, Devarion made it i think, well the'll be safe wherever they are." He said to Nolgos, then looked in anger round the glade. "I am one of the strongest on the Gods, and i could do nothign, Nothing against him. If he was not immortal i would take him this instant..." he paused as an idia came to him"...maybe...no i could not do that, its aginst everything i'v worked for...no...but maybe its the only way..." he turned and smiled weakly at Nolgos "You are a warrior turned healer, it seems i must become a healer turned warrior."

Nolgos smirked as Azra spoke of the change of roles.

"I lied about that, I was already a healer when I was young, but when you are picking wounded soldiers up from the battlefield you tend to get mixed as a threat. So one must become a threat in order to protect himself, I killed the enemy and saved my own comrades lives when ever I could... But you know as well as I do that I killed more than saved."

He retorted with a rather quite voice before walking into the glade opening where he had last seen Devarion, but he or the others were no where to be found like the storm had swallowed them. Nolgos looked at Azra with his eyebrow raised for an explenation, but at the same time fearing the worst.

((The portal was gone directly after Kena and Estelle made it through with Devarion, I believe, so there wasn't really a potential for anyone else to follow))

"You were used by Fate, it was their time to die" he replied to Nolgos's self accusation.

Kena nodded mutely, already looking up at the moonlit sky through the open skylight, rimmed by stone that was white in the silvery moonlight. No sign of a storm there, not even telltale wisps of dark cloud or the smell of rain hanging in the still air. It was deceiving.

"Where are we?" she queried after a moment's silence, eyes following Devarion's movements.

Estelle looked in wonder at the runes alighting around her. The silvery white light cast from the moon's glow bathed the room in an eerie yet breathtaking splendor. Saying nothing, she watched Devarion from where she sat, wondering what the god of night had in store for them.

Eydis paced back and forth in the spot she had seen Devarion, Estelle, and Kena vanish, trying to figure out what exactly had taken place. Why would they do that? she thought with frustration, We should all be together! The day's circumstances were not helping to improve her temper. "All that would make this day better," she said, face twisting into a sarcastic grimace, "Is another visit from Asmundr himself."

She knew that the three other dieties were no longer in the forest, so there was no use in remainng there looking for them. She turned and took off in the other direction. She walked briskly, one hand gripping her bow tightly, the other wavering over her quiver, always at the ready should the need arise to fight. Her specialty might have been one of the gentler ones among the dieties, but that did not mean that she would not fight tooth and nail if circumstance called for it.

Before she had gotten fair though, she spotted two figures. Immediately, her bow came up and she pulled an arrow out of her quiver, but then she realized that the figures were Azra and the mortal, Noglos. Eydis slowed her steps and lowered her weapon, not wanting to appear a fool in front of the two. She moved purposefully over to them.

"Devarion, Estelle, and Kena are gone." She winced immediately after her words, for she knew she was stating the obvious, and she also knew that Azra was not likely to pass up the chance to be sarcastic with her. So she plowed on quickly, hoping to deter him. "But more importantly, where have they gone and when will they be back? Do you think their disappearance is Asmundr's doing? Or a trick of one of them?" She shuddered, hoping desperately that it was the latter and not the former. If Asmundr managed to capture and anihalate any of them, much less three, all would be doomed.

"Oh goddess, you surprise me with you're great powers of observation, one would have thought you would not notice such a small thing as thier disapperance." He said acidly, the stopped "Sorry"
Sorry???? What???
"I shouldn't have said that..."
She's female of course you should, now walk away and don't talk to her she's beneath you.
"...I'f i know anything about Devorien he'l have taken them to his sanctuary, the'll be safe there. I can feel it in the Balance." He looked at her a moment "We should be getting back" he offered her his arm.

(( Iget it now...lol. I was trying to help the others, but I lost where I was and now I'm back!!!))

Aranthor smiled as she heard Azra bugging Eydis. Soon she came into the clearing and saw Eydis, Azra, and the mortal. As she neared..."I would like to know exactly why this mortal is here." She stated, ignoring the fact that they were talking.

Eydis almost choked on the saucy retort she had on her tongue. Azra was apologizing? It seemed unbelievable. She really didn't know what to say. Oftentimes it was easier to deal with Azra when he was being difficult... odd as that was. Because she knew how to be difficult right back.

Finally she managed to say, "And you should be." But her tone wasn't near as bristly as it would have been another time. She took his arm and turned her mind towards the matter at hand. "Yes, his sanctuary," she said with relief, "That would explain things, and it's certainly better than what I had been fearing. But they need to be back soon!"

But before anything else could be said, Aranthor came into the group. Eydis jumped slightly, still on edge from the brief encounter with Asmundr and the raging storm. "Nice to see you're well too, Aranthor," she replied wryly. Then she glanced to Noglos. "As for why the mortal's here.... Well, we believe he will serve some purpose."

"He's not stupid and he's loyal, he's been a servent to both of us Aranthor, and you should not judge him harshly, the day will come when we are glad for the humans help." He said defensivly quickly letting go of Eydis's arm, though he wasn't sure why.

"You mean, your purpose?"

Nolgos asked with a sharp tone as he was tired of the fact that the gods looked down on him and never said what was really on their minds all tough they did express it with their attitude. Nolgos hmhed and crossed his hands before gazing towards the direction of his village.

"You have no need of me here so I will go to the village and gather the militia... but one thing, you gods should learn to get in more contact with humans. It is no wonder that only a few know about you, you are being forgotten."

Nolgos said before starting to walk trough the woods, towards his village.

"You see, he's not stupid. He's on our side and even he pays us no respect, if it is as we think and we are loseing our powers becuse we are being forgotten, then i think we better do as he says." said Azra as he left.
