-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- She was home. Ra'nu's first thought as she woke that morning was... she was home.
Rising and preparing for the day had almost a ritual calming routine quality for her. She bathed, dressed and headed out to town to see how it had changed.
** It was nearly midday. She had wandered old familiar walkways, seen old, familiar places and some seemed to have not changed but others she hardly recognized.
When she happened to see where she was, her smile of contentment was slowly melted from her face. Before her were the steps of Aletre's Temple. It seemed like a dream... something long ago and half forgotten. The details after so long were hazy. But it had been here that she and Driconis had met. She was to be his guide, his compass... But while she had been the compass to him, he had been her true North. He had guided her and showed her that there was more to life than learning and being... there was love.
She sighed and closed her eyes a moment. Perhaps that is why she was so lost now... Her direction was gone.
... Driconis was gone... « Last Edit: Apr 22nd, 2011, 7:00pm by Llewellynn »

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The docking station answered the hail and within an hour the shuttle was safely landed and crew began to secure it for storage. A knock on the shuttle door and a man was there to take info on your name and reason for visiting.
"Will you be staying long, Sir?" The man asked genuinely curious. This wasn't just his job, he loved meeting new people and finding out about places where he could not go.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The man took down the information and smiled. "We can set up quarters for you in the guest lodging. I will send word to the Matron at the Temple. I cannot say if she is in residence or away. Only they can. I will have word sent to your room soon as it comes in. Meanwhile, you have leave to travel as you desire. Please be advised that you are bound to the rules and regulations of the planet." He smiled and left Driconis standing there.
A few moments later a young woman arrived and knocked. "Mr Driconis? I am Lily. I am here to take you to the guest quarters and take your message to the Temple. When you are ready, just let me know. I will be at the hanger entrance office." She then turned on her heels and headed back across the landing bay.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lily handed him the room key soon as they were there and he had his things inside. "I will, Sir... gnight."
She disappeared and went to deliver the message.
__ Just before dinner, a missive came and it read...
"Matron is off planet. But you are welcome to come to the Temple to see her Disciple in the morning bfore lunch."
The Temple seal was on the letter.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Goes back to sleep waking every hour because of the constant dreams ra'nue. Waking just as the sun comes up getting dressed in all black with floor length black trench coat both swords on my back under the coat set low as to not be noticed and a book bag on my back. I exit my room quietly and head down the hall looking for the front desk. Rounding the corner at the end of the hall I find the front desk and I leave a message for lily. MESSAGE reads thank you for your help.
Leaving the hotel heading strait for the temple.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK is what is heard on the temple door.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ra'Nue woke in the Temple chamber she had been granted and smiled. It was almost like being home. She remembered how it was the days before she met Driconis. She had stayed here then as well.
Rising and dressing in her simple gown, she went in search of a snack as she was certain she had missed morning meal. Rounding the corner she heard the knock on the door in the next hall. She smiled. It was good to hear that sound. It meant another had come seeking guidance. Perhaps she would go back to work. It may keep her mind occupied.
Unaware of the person at the door, she disappeared into the kitchen to eat.
__ The door opened slowly and a smiling woman nodded. "Sir Driconis. Lady Tristere often spoke of you. We have been expecting you." Unsure how she knew your name, you are offered a chance to enter and be seen. "Come... I will take you to where you can freshen up. The Disciple will be with you soon."

I will forever be in your debt my lady. Standing up and I find a seat in the back of the cathedral and sit in a dark corner.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few hours later as you are softly dozing listening to the murmur of voices, you hear something familiar.
"I have left word I want to continue my work as a guide. I have given it thought and need to get back out there. I have sat in mourning too long. It is time to move on."
But as you look up, they all look the same. Over 50 women in dark robes, mingling in the catherdral before preparations begin for evening blessings to the citizens. There really is no way to see whom was speaking. The conversations continue and the voice fades into the noises.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Standing and asking excuse me.but when is the matrons disciple going.to be able to meet with me. I have been waiting for her most.of the morning I don't want to be rude but I would like to be able to train with a few of the sword masters before the evening sets in.
"Please some one help me " is all ra'nue hears in her mind as the voice is heard out loud by everyone else in the room.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The nearest acolyte smiled. "I will ask the Disciple and see if we cannot at least find you someone to spar with." She then disappeared into the crowd. __ Ra'nue heard the voice and her eyes closed. The woman she was speaking to grabbed her arm as she swayed. "Are you all right Lady?" Ran nodded. "I am fine. I am going to go lay down." She headed towards her room. It couldn't be. Not now... She shook her head. She had to take a walk to clear it. Maybe doing something familiar would take her mind from it. She went to her room, grabbed the blade her love had once given her and headed to the practice yard in the back gardens.
An acolyte arrived a few moments after she began and asked if she was willing to spar with a visitor. She nodded and took the mask the acolyte gave her. The mask helped to keep her secret so the guest would not know her identity. This kept her safe because the guest would then not have a face to be upset at if bested, or a face to gloat at if bettering them.
__ The acolyte came back and told Driconis there was a Lady in the gardens who would spar with him. He was then welcome to stay the evening for dinner and rest.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Thank you"
Heading out in to the center court yard I see a figure standing there masked. If you my dear are ready then so am I. I drop my pack and turn and pull off my coat and then turn back with a serious but vary calm look on my face. You sence peace and tranquility radiating from this person with a vary faint hint of morning.
The face. The face looks so familier you just can't put a.finger.on it its.lime you know this person but you remember him as almost 10 years younger than he actually looks and he seems different in many way as in attitude and strength and even in his skill. Seems to be many many years in advance to what a normal human would be when it comes to swordplay. Enuff to even be your equal or possibly better.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- She nodded and kept silence to keep the mystery. She wheeled and reeled back and forth and in and out of his defenses.
As they 'danced' with metal clanging on metal, she watched. Little things made her wonder. A pary, a twist, a lunge a feint; little things that pricked her mind.
As the bell tolled for preparation for evening meal, she bowed and nodded respectfully to her opponent. She broke with tradition as she walked away and spoke to him. "If you wish more practice, simply ask for 'little star', I will be found..." She then skipped to a quick jog and headed for the Temple backdoor to head to her room to change.
