Syrith hid herself in her room at one of the inns near the edge of town. She has sent out through several channels that she wanted to find Ranith. The problem was, if Ranith did not want to be found, you would have to be an Aspect to find him, which, she doubted even they could if he really did not want to be found. Poring out her notes on a table in the room, she sifted through them for the umpteenth time to discover what she was missing: the location of Dawn Sky, the origin and nature of the artifact, the location of the Enclave and how to get in, the nature of that mirror the so puzzled and frightened Mjor. After another fruitless search of her notes, she tossed them down and growled in frustration.

<<why does it have to be so difficult!>>

She believed, all her answers were in that enclave, but she was not able to get back into it, no mater what she did. She had hoped Ranith could do what she could not. Now she had to wait and hope one of the messages got to him and he decided to respond. Humans could be so frustrating at time and now she was one of them, she knew just how frustrating they could be.

It was in the middle of the night when she heard a loud thump on the door. Snatching up a stiletto, she waited behind the door, nothing. She crept over to the other side and slowly opened it peering out into the hall, empty. But there was something pinned to the door by a knife, some pendant hanging on a leather thong and a note. Pulling out the knife she collected the pendant and the note tossing the knife aside.

The pendent was a golden ring a little larger than her palm with three equilateral crystal triangles, one blood red, one royal blue and the last snow white, woven around the ring, forming a nine point star. What surprised her was the nothingness she felt when she touched it, it was like everything just cease to exists. She sat the pendant on the table with her notes as she read the note.

Syrith,

The other as ordained you its avatar and has given you the artifact. As to what it can do and how to invoke it, that s for you to find out. All I can say is, its power is greater than anything we have ever seen.

Asieth.

Syrith just stared at the note in unbelief, then at the door. It could not be that simple.

<<Just what kind of a fool do you think I am!>>

She crumpled up the not ad tossed it into the fire. She was about to do the same with the artifact when something stopped her. A soundless voice all around her said no.

She looked around, "Who are you?"

The presence was still there, but did not answer.

She remembered what she had learned about 'the other' when she was with Samuel. This was so much like that.

She ventured, "are you the other?"

Keep it, with that the presences left.

She stood there dumbfounded, then laughed as she held up the artifact. Things were finally going her way. She, now had the power to do what she always wanted. Her eyes narrowed as a wicked smile crossed her face.

"Terrorogas, you are mine!"

She hung the thong over her neck and hid the amulet under her tunic.

Almost a full week later Ranith was walking up to the house Aubri had shown him. Part of him wanted to kill her straight away. She was an enigma and complicated what he wanted to do until he could be sure what side she was on. He was of the opinion that he could accomplish it, not knowing about her newly found power. In the end he decided not to and, reaching the door, knocked.

[skywraith]

Syrith had returned from a short trip up to Dawn Sky and quizzed that purple dragon, learning very little. There were time she would have strangled her, if she thought she could get away with it. The artifact was just as much as enigma as when she had first received it. Several time she tried to use it, to no avail. Now her desire to get into that enclave was stronger than ever.

Hearing a knock on the door, she spun around and stalked over to the door. She swing it open and barked, "What do..." Seeing Ranith, she backed down a little.

"Finally, I was beginning to wonder if you would ever show up."

She stepped back showing him in.

[lupus_acerbus]

Ranith calmly went in. "I had a bit of personal business to take care of. Now, what is it that you wanted me here for? It's not like you to ask for help." he commented. "Especially not from me." he added almost as an afterthought.

[skywraith]

Syrith closed the door behind him. She shrugged off he remark about personal business, his personal life, she was not the least bit interested in. She thought about haw to get what she wanted and decided to do something so out of her character, it might work, tell the truth.

"I want into an enclave under Dragon's Keep and I suspect, you might want in as well." She stopped to watch his reaction, not really expecting one. "Do you know what an enclave is?"

[lupus_acerbus]

Ranith leaned against a wall and crossed his arms. "No need to be offensive Syrith. Now what is it that's in there that will make my effort for this worth something to me?"

[skywraith]

Syrith looked at him, "I was not. I was making sure you knew what I was talking about. If, what Archibald said was true, there are magics there that have never seen the light of day and few the Aspects fear." She looked off, "there was one item that troubled, almost frightening Mjor there, a scrying mirror, but not like any you have seen." Returning her gaze back to Ranith. "Actually, it is not that enclave I am interested in but, the main on in the old lands. Each one has gates to all the others."

[lupus_acerbus]

"And you're expecting me to use my abilities to get you in there so you can find what you want." Ranith pursed his lips in thought. There might be a chance here for him to get some things that could help him greatly. "Very well. Show me where you went in and I will see what I can do."

[skywraith]

Syrith chuckled, "If it was only that easy, I would be in already. No, it is not so much a where, but a when and who. At the moment Samuel Thorn is the enclave and, as far as I know my mother has the only other key." She smiled at him, "I am good at some things, while you are good at others. More importantly, you are human - you are human?"

She was stunned and feel to the floor as if something powerful struck her. Scrambling to her feet, she headed to the window facing the sea.

<<BY THE ASPECTS!!!! IT CAN NOT BE!!!>>

She turned to face Ranith with both panic and rage waring in her face. "Get out! Quickly! Verais du Wyv is about to be destroyed!"

(( I am assuming this is taking place about the same time as the other. ))

[lupus_acerbus]

A momentary flash of surprise flashed across Ranith's face, an unusual display of emotion for him. Then, back completely under control, he stepped backward and disappeared. There was no sense of the presence of magic. He was simply gone.

Syrith used her ability to teleport to her home at Dragon's Keep, where she collapsed to the floor sobbing.
