Sent On An Errand

JP with White_Caribou and Cindy

After the Bonecaster had left and the room was still again, Shalia decided on what to do next. No sense in sitting idly by in worry and frustration when she knew what needed to be done.

“Islana, dear, I know you are probably very confused and I will try to explain soon, but I have a task for you once more,” she spoke as she stood and walked over to the door. Once there she opened it to summon Lerek, who had taken the injured guard’s place. Truthfully, between him and Ryul who stood outside as well, he was the more reliable choice for Islana’s safety. Lerek was quite loyal to Shalia and one who revered the icy ground she walked upon. The other’s comments earlier about her new ’pet’ left a sour taste.

First she explained in Odon and upon looking at the redhead, switched quickly into Helian as she so frequently had to do these days.

“You two will inform the Ozainae emissary Agizul that I want another meeting with him. Lerek is a strong warrior should you get into trouble." She glanced between them and received nods on both their ends. "Let's hope luck is on our side this time."

She turned to Islana who had approached now. “If anyone tries to touch you again, don’t be afraid to bite.” Her cold fingers grazed the young woman's cheek as she stood awaiting instruction, a rough attempt to lighten the serious mood. A half-joke, really. Shalia herself had bitten part of a finger off once. What a bloody but effective experience.

“You’ll find power beyond just magik one day, I know it.”

The idea that Shalia would explain more soon, sounded hopeful to Islana that she would be able to get some of the answer sought, after the new task was completed.

The young woman had been attempting more and more to pay attention to the Odon that was spoken, to see what words she could pick out or decipher. It was though once again, a few words only. So, it wasn't until Shalia reverted to Helian that the orders were understood.

A slight smile passed the redhead's lips as the dark haired woman mentioned possibly biting someone touched her. The idea of doing that someone was slightly amusing.

The fear that once predominanted Islana's response to the dark haired witch touching her, seemed to be removed now. It had never really been a fear of the other woman's touch anyway more a fear of things that had occurred in another time and place bleeding into the present, as they had so often a habit of doing with the young woman.

The statement about finding power was met with a nod. Shalia had no idea what Islana had been through in her life. The things she had to navigate to be here and still standing. So, it was easy to sometimes see the young witch as not being as strong as others, Islana understood that but she knew what obstacles had to be climbed over to get where she was. Still, that was a discussion for another time.

After a brief explanation on where to possibly find the Ozainae emissary, Islana left with Lerek. Tasked with finding Agizul and delivering a message. Easy, right?
