Learning More About the World Around Me

After I met the three of them I told them of their fates. :Intriguing.: Vanyel says, lost in thought. :Very intriguing.:

"Yes." I smile. "Now, what will we do to convince the others to speed up the events in this world?"

:I think I know.:

:Stefan?:

"What is it?"

:You have all three of the Bardic Gifts. And then some in fact.: I grin.

"Thanks." I laugh. "At one point, I found out I could do this," I began singing with several different voices at once.

:That's.... Hm.... One thing's for sure. Every Bard will be begging to become your teacher.:

"None of them will get to."

:I figured as much.:

:I figured it out!:

"Hm?"

:Use those Gifts of yours to convince the players of this game to play their parts.:

"I see.... That would work."

:That's exactly what I was thinking Ashke.:

:I thought of it first though.:

:Sure you did.: Throughout their little argument, I was holding back laughter.

:They are always like this.:

"I can tell." I finally fail to hold back my laughs. "It's cute though." I sigh. "I hope they'll find one another in the next life."

:I'm sure they will.:

"I don't think I formally introduced myself. I am Ashera Clearsword k'Treva. You know my mother and I have a wonderful bondbird named Teardrop as well as a kind, adopted son named Phantom."

:Nice to meet you Ashera, I am Yfandes.:

"I thought it was you. But feel free to call me Ash. May I call you 'Fandes?"

:Of course.:

"Thank you."

:What are you two doing?:

"Nothing much. Just talking."

:Besides that.:

"Nothing at all." I chuckle. "Are you two done with your little fight?" I grin at them.

:Ash!: I laugh more at the shocked look on Vanyel's face.

"Now I see why mom liked this place so much." I grin. "I'll be going now." I smile and wave goodbye, giving 'Fandes a hug and opening a portal. "See you at the Tower."

:See you later Ash.: They said as one. I step through the portal and appear in the throne room again.

"Hey." I wave to the shocked Court that was staring at me. I'm sure they'll be speaking much about the beautiful, mysterious stranger. "Phantom, Teardrop. Follow me." I led them away to explain the plan. We went to the Companion's Field and sat in the place where the grove of trees that Tylendel had destroyed was.

In the middle of my explanation, Phantom interrupted. "Who's that?"

"Huh?" He points behind me. I turn and see a Companion with quite odd colors. The mane, for one thing, was the same shade of blue as my mother's hair and the eyes were the same as her's. "Mom?"

"What?" Phantom exclaimed behind me.

"Shush."

:Are you Ashera Clearsword k'Treva?:

:I am.:

:Good.: The beautiful red eyes lit up. :I am glad to see you Chosen.:

:Same to you. What's your name by the way?:

:I am Nissy.:

:I'm glad to have met you Nissy. Will you accept my names?:

:Of course.:

:Then I dub thee Nissy Clearsword k'Treva.:

"What are you two doing? All your doing is staring into each other's eyes."

"Talking." I rest my forehead against hers.

:Nothing more.:

"What was that?" He jumps.

'Same as me doing this. It's just her way of talking.' I smile. 'Now calm down my son.'

"Oh."

"Now, let us continue. Once we convince the others to join us at the Tower, we'll be able to stop this once and for all."

"Doesn't someone die in the process?"

"Well.... Yes, in a way."

"How so?"

"Vanyel, Yfandes, Stefan."

"Oh." He nods understanding what would happen.
