k...im not doing it...you cant... *i blank out and just stand there awkwardly.*

Feshwa smiles with Keepers mouth, riding in the waves. She gathers some water and flings it in the air, then uses it to bend the light. She forms large letters that look like one long, looping ribbon. It sends bright light upward for several minutes until she drops the mist. She then takes some ocean waer and turns it into wings, flying Keeper's body gently up to his cave before returning his body to him.

what are you doing with...

Feshwa retreats to her small puddle in his mind, and gives him back his body. All yours. she says happily

where am i?

Back in your cave. Are there any entrances that a human could get into? I'm expecting Roan to get here soon.

not really...thats why i made it like this...only way in is the cliff

Alright. He will let me know when he comes. She coils up her long white body and begins to nap.

how will you know... *yawn* when he comes...now im sleepy, stupid side effect.

He will tell me. A gush of wind shoots through the cave, as though it was suddenly displaced and needed somewhere to go.

wha-what was that? *i struggle to keep my eyes open* im working too hard right after i was just revived, and this cut on my neck doesnt help.

Feshwa wakes suddenly. She smiles. He is here. Please repeat these words: Su nel'lur yo'on bes's'seno enralo m'menolan.

cant you do it...im a bout to fall... *i fall asleep on the floor*

Feshwa sighs, and takes over the body. She calls out the words through the cave, and soon a single, dark figure floats down at the mouth of the cave, supported by what looks like a clears dome. He hovers inside and hops to the floor. The dome dissappears. "Who are you?" he asks, more curious than suspicious. "How do you know Y'muella?" Keepers body walks up to him and gives him a small and sublte hand gesture without his eyes seeing it. "Because I am Feshwa, trapped in this body. It needs help to survive." Roan nodded, confused but accepting the few words as fact. Keeper's body laid down, and Roan began to examine the neck. He can create precise barriers. What does your neck need to heal?

my neck is just completely damaged...it wont stop bleeding and now just then when I/you talked it scared my vocal cords...so now I cant talk.

Keeper's hand makes some other odd motions, still without his eyes seeing them. Roan nods and leans in close to the neck. He adjusts his fingers so that they are spread out, while the thumbs point at the wound. Suddenl air pops away from the spot on his neck, and a deep hum can be heard faintly. Roan adjusts his force field so that it traps the blood inside of the neck, stopping the bleeding. He holds it there for a while, waiting for the skin to heal together.

*my legs twitch at the pain from the nerves on contact with the blood and the other veins.* feshwa...whats with the hand jesters?...i cant feel my legs

Feshwa emanates good feelings, rather like a mental smile. He is healing you with his force fields, stopping the bleeding and keeping things from going where they should not. As for the hand signals, we are simply communicating without putting any strain on your voice for now.

uhh...my body cant communicate whats wrong anymore...and now i cant... *since im knocked out of sorts i dont actually know whats happening outside my body. then with out recollection of whats happened i wake up in the same place feshwa first was at, with the waterfall and the trees.* feshwa...i think if one of us controls my body for a certain amount of time then just gain control until then either give it up or the other one takes over

Roan continues to work steadily, the blood is beginning to clot, so that the neck can heal, and he removes some of the bondries so that the body can ragain some feeling. What do you mean?

i dont...dont know...anymore, im...i cant tell whats happening anymore. *i lazily walk over to the waterfall, which dosent feel like sand, and i crawl up into one of the variouse trees the are on the far side of the river. i am in my wolf form so its more comfortable to lay down and fall asleep slowly.* feshwa...*yawn*...maybe if we both become inactive and my...body goes into a nutral state...we both can be in this...what would you call this...place...and *i fall fully asleep*

Feshwa, in her long white dragon form, buzzes up next to Keeper and winds herself around the tree. I cannot tell you what this place is, for our own safety. I have put the knowledge in a pool, so that you cannot access it accidentally. If you care for both of us, do not go find it if you wish to stay in this place.

*I blink open my eyes just enough to look at feshwa* wha?...I did think about that, but quickly forgot it, the only thing that I have been thinking about is how I came to be in here, and now how have we both come to be in here. *I look around at the surroundings* did you mess with any of the fires? Because I felt like something happened to one of them that seemed important to me, something about my parents...

I did not 'mess' with any of your memories. I simply found one. My memories are apearing hear as well. If you look outside this oasis, you will find small pools dotting the land with the fires.

*I scrunch up my face trying to see far out of the oasis* I kinda see one...but...wait if were both in here what's happening to my body!?! *I quickly spring up on the limb that I was laying on. Turning to face feshwa, I stop suddenly again from looking at her.* why...I never had this happen before...this feeling is not normal...is it?...no it can't be. *I think to my self*

What do you feel? Feshwa thinks calmly. She coils herself gently around Keeper.

uh...i...i dont...i cant describe...uh...it...its...weird, feels like...its good, but...i cant tell because ive never felt like this before... *i gulp nervously* wha...what are you doing...that...that feels...um...ive never felt that either, so i...uh...cant describe it...but it kinda tickles...uh...thats sounds weird... *i just stand on the limb not knowing what to do or where to go. i just look at feshwa with a quizzical glare, begging with my eyes to explain.

Feshwa looks away from him and winds around the tree and once again becomes level with Klepter. She looks out over the great expanse of sand and watches as pools of bright greenish-blue liquid begin to expand. "Your soul is no longer as dry."

whats happening? *i take a step forward and forget that im in a tree. i fall and hit my head on a rock, i get up, shakly at first, then i regain my balance and put my hand to my head. i didnt know that i could get hurt in here *i pull my hand away from my head coated with a blueish crimson.

The white dragon swirls down towards Klepter. The only pain you feel is in your mind. I would tell you that it was gone, but you would be skeptical, and the pain would still be there. Think, then, not of the pain you feel, but of the other things you feel. When you forget it, it will go away.

*i stare skeptically at feshwa.* i dont...then again, i dont know much about where I am...so its worth a try *i stare off out into the open expanse and almost completely forget about what just happened.

Feshwa swishes her tail gently back and forth as a new fire blooms outside of the oasis. Do you wish to explore? she tinks calmly, as though it was just a passing thought worth no contemplation.

why not...it's not like theres anything else to do. *i glance at feshwa to see her expression at this*

Feshwa looks away from Keeper, still gazing over the landscape. I am very interested to see what you make of this place. She winds hrself down the tree, floating without wings.

ok...i dont know what you mean but ok. *i start to make my way across the river*

Feshwa follows slowly, Her head slightly above Keeper's.

*i see a pool a few steps ahead, and slowly approach its edge* whats this one?

That was my first memory, from the birth of the world. Imagine, waking up and the first moment you exist, you are dying. That is how I came to be.

the way you say that...its different...i cant place a correct word for it but its different. *i nod at the pool and continue walking. there is a fire no more than twenty steps to the right. i begin to walk to it, but i just stop and stair at it.*

Light irritation eminates from Feshwa. Will you choose where to go soon? She hovers literally around Keeper, circling him over and over.

that one...that one *i fall to my knees and point to the fire. my eyes hold a drained look to them, and a single tear slips to the ground* my parents...didn't, they didn't...make it after all. all my searching for nothing...i knew it all along, just not...i didnt want to...know. i resented that fact... *i just sit there and moan deeply*

Feshwa winds herself around Keeper, using her consiousness to block out the memories from outside, and alsow blocks the changing scenery, so that it blurs between his memory and the desert. You son't need to think of this now, she says calmly, filling the little spot where he is sitting with good feelings, sad feelings, but mostly comfort.

you dont know what happened...it can never leave...it is a never ending haunting memory that i only forgot for a short time... *i look up at feshwa, and shake my head.* you dont know what it feels like to lose both of your parents and being forced to watch...it never leaves, your scared for life...thats why i never want to settle down i always move and fight those feelings...idle hands conceive wickedness, but hard work brings fulfillment...but that still hasn't been the case for me yet...nothing seems right anymore, nor does anyone seem to be faithful in their commitments...its just me, alone in the world to fight this. *i suddenly just stop talking and look at the ground. i curse myself for thinking like that under my breath, and curl my hands into a fist trying to control my temper or else i'll lash out on myself, like i have before, and might even burn the ground right under me putting me on top of an inextinguishable oasis or fire.*

ooc: The oasis puddles belong to Feshwa. You can't make them. ic: I know what it feels like to lose all hope, and to always fight for myself. I know how it feels to be hurt, for I can feel it in you. She continues to circle slowly around Keeper. Let the feelings pass. Let them be nothing more than memory. Make a fire and never return to it. It will be alright. I am here now.

ooc: yea i know that...what made you think i didn't? btw ever heard anything by http://www.youtube.com/user/DragonsReborn333 on youtube and did you know about the auto play feature? ic: it is a memory as you can see...its floating in that fire right over there. *i try to point* i kinda forgot that you could feel all this...but one small thing is that i cant feel what you feel because we both cant feel different things at once... *my face goes blank* i cant feel anything right now... *i try to look at feshwa's face* what is the feeling...ive never felt that before? *i mentally hug myself because the feeling is so strong* "anima libera", how can you feel this wonderful feeling after all that suffering you endured?

Feshwa never slows nor speeds her circling. I am... she sent him a slight burst of the good and comforting feelings, because I live, though I ought to be dead. Is that not enough reason to be happy? She does not change her tone, barely indicating that she just said a question.

ok, i am completely lost. could someone fill me in on whats happened?

ooc: Feshwa's blood got inside of Keeper, so her consciousness is in his mind. He passed out for some reason, and they are now both trapped in his mind, and he is surprisingly not loosing control of his surroundings. Feshwa can't do anything to the surroundings because it isn't her mind.

that makes sense...but what doesn't is how that memory just hit me like that, like how it just came up suddenly. *i curl my self into a ball on the ground and just sit there* being alive is a great reason to be happy...and if it wasn't for you i wouldn't be here. but honestly i thought that the only one that would care if i really died would be Nezzer, but apparently thats not the case, other people do care and i really underestimated that. i thought that if i died everyone would forget my name, and they wouldn't even try to revive me and i would actually die, i didn't fear death i just didn't even think about it. you really opened my eyes to that...and i truly thank you for what you've done for...for both of us.

Feshwa slows her circling and coils around Keeper in a kind of hug. The memories of the past may come unbidden at times, but it is best to not wallow in their sadnesses. You can move foreward, and meet new beings who will care for you. Not all relations are from the past. You must move like time. Ever steadily onward.

thank you...you're helping, a lot. *i slowly lift me head up and look out across the expanse and half expect to see some camels cross in front of us. turn my head until i can see feshwa's and just behold her face for a few seconds* im a mess arnt i?

Feshwa loosesns her coils and gazes out across the sand as a small group of camels trod slowly across the pale sand. Her body still flowing like waves on the water, she holds her head still and watches the beasts.

what are you looking at? *i turn my head and see the camels.* oh yea...i forgot that i kinda control what happens

Then you put yourself in danger. A sudden glee fills her, and almost overpowers the surroundings, as though a hot rock has just been dropped in water, and a thick cloud has just shot out. She beams at him with sparkling eyes. Shall we have some fun? This world is yours to create!

im kinda scared to ask...what do you have in mind?

Feshwa sends him images of chocolate pools and labrynths and lying in cool green grass and an ocean filled with coral and brightly colored fish.

ah...ok. i thought you were thinking something more on the lines of hunting and i dont know, something that i probably wouldn't like, but this is kinda what i was thinking of, a little R&R. *i look out across the expanse and conjure up images all everything that feshwa showed me. i choose to fill this land with color and fun. as stuff start to appear i slowly walk towards a solid wall of rock thats three cubits wide and three cubits long and over a head high.* ever play mine craft?...well this will be our starting point and we'll dig down and i can show you something amazing...something that no one else will see. *a pick ax suddenly appears in my hand and i start digging a two by two hole in and down into the wall* come on, it'll go faster if you help, i think that a human form will help so we'll reach the surprise faster. i cant wait to show you! *i hold out another pick ax, and continue to dig with the other*

Feshwa remains in her dragon form and rockets toward the wall, hitting it with her hard skull. Some rocks begin to crumble. She whacks it hard with her tail, and more fall. I can take only my natural form in here.

well can't i just give you another form to use? and we dont need the entire thing gone, we have to go down and you kinda cant with that size because i cant dig a hole that big...and its more amazing when you are small because you get a different feeling of size when you see it.

You cannot change me because I am not your consciousness, like this world is. I cannot make myself change form because in the real world, water was what changed its form, but in here I have only my blood, which naturally takes its own shape.

ok...I was just hoping to show you this in a way that can actually make people appreciate it. *i close my eyes and open up a big hole right where the rock was that goes down pretty far. I then jump off the edge and plummet into the unknown, for feshwa anyway.* FREE FALLING! *i start to sing the song free falling as i free fall into the ground. what are you waiting for!

Feshwa reels back slightly, then shoots down into the hole, propelling herself faster than gravity until she reaches Keeper. She tries to let herself fall freely, but falling endlessly causes her to be filled with worry and tension, some of which begins to worm its way into Keeper's mind.

were almost to the bottom...don't worry it's not that far now. *as soon as i finish saying that i hit the ground and do a tuck-and-roll. there is one tunnel that goes off into the wall, its kinda of a tight fit and barely the right size for feshwa to walk without ducking. without another word i start to trot through the tunnel, and come out into a huge cavern...* before you can enter give a guess to what is in here

Feshwa hears Keeper land and immediatly "puts on her brakes" and slows drastically before hitting the bottom. Not being in human form, and only in her snake-like dragon form, she hits the ground with the full force of ther entire body. She pauses for a second, rolling her head from side to side, checking for damage. She then lifts her head, and folowing that, her entire body lifts up in a wave, and she folows Keeper, hovering low to the ground. Is there water in there? or fould beasts which crawl along the walls in deafening skittering, or perhaps there is treasure beyond imagination.

can you be more specific? i want to know if can read my mund or not. *i mentaly turn on a torch in the cavern and wait.*

ooc: I can't read your mind unless you tell me in ooc. ic: I can only feel your excitement. There is something you are very eager to show me.

ooc:i know, i just wanted to see if you would try to guess again ic: you are right about that...since you were close enough you may enter *i stand aside and let feshwa enter into a huge cavern made entirely out of diamonds, bright blue diamonds. i just look up into the reaches of the cavern.*

The lights of the diamonds reflect off her scales, giving Feshwa a light blue, shimering form as she swirls gracefully around the cavern. This place is to my liking.

i thought you might like it, would you like to have one? *my hand turns into a claw and i hold my palm out to a nearby wall. waiting for feshwa to answer.* i could carve out a nice sized one that you could hold onto, and when we get out of here i can bring you to my real cavern and make you a copy of this one so that you may have, i might even be able to mount it in that necklace that i gave you. *i change to my dragon form and wait for her to answer*

A single piece of this magnificence hall would only degrade the beauty hear, and would not give the same effect. She dances though the hall, spinning and twirling, letting her scales shimmer and shine in the soft blue light. And the necklace you have has no substance here, only the thoughts behind it. It will take its true form in here.

thats would be true but this is only a replica of the real cavern that i have hidden away in my mountain. so what ever happens wont degrade the beauty be cause i can just fill it back in. *i fly up to the highest reaches of the cavern and sit on a protruding out cropping that leads to another tunnel.* would you like to see something else?

Feshwa floats after him, her body twisting lithely in the air. Of course, though I wonder, what is the point of receiving something that is only part of another's imagination? ooc: Do you not worry that bad things will come? Because once you do, we'll have a lot of things to fight from the depths of your mind.

Ooc: I don't worry because that will make things happen faster, also the only thing that haunts me is that one memory. I would rather lay around and enjoy life rather than think up unorthodox ways of seeing myself perish. Since I already died once why have another death in my mind? ic: this may spark your fancy more than the diamonds, for I know how much you love this, and no, it's not an enemy, I'm not going to think about those until I get a little settled.

Feshwa follows still, projecting a hope of a vast, clear ocean with brightly colored reefs, though the images are a bit hazy, as though partially forgotten over a long period of time.

*because the tunnel is pretty small we have to shuffle through. As we come to the end I can begin to hear a qui lapping sound. We exit the tunnel into another big cavern but this one is made of lapis lazuli and there is a deep blue natural pool here filled by a silent water fall. everything you see here is a mental replica of the true cavern in my mountain. Enjoy your visit in this mental place but I promise you that if we find a way to get you out I'll bring you to my real one. *I dip my clawed hand into the water and a cool peaceful feeling fills my mind, I gently slip into the deep water and let the minerals cleanse my scales. come take a dip, this feels better than the river.

Feshwa gets partially wedged in the tunnel, then wiggles violently until she is free. She submerges herself under the water, and lays there, unmoving, for several minutes. Her mind goes blank.

you ok down there? *I submerge down to feshwa to see why she hasn't said anything yet. As I get close to the bottom I notice a small glowing object at the bottom, I reach it and see it to be a portal. I must of forgotten that the is here so I don't remember where it goes. *I forget everything around me and my mind delves deeper to try and remember the destination of the portal.* feshwa...do you know... *my mind goes blank just like feshwa's*

Subito, Vox Feshwae clamat, "Cur tu mei domi? Ite! Te necabam! ITE!" (sudenly, the voice of Feshwa shouts, "Why are you in my home [domain]? Go! I will kill you! GO!"

What!?! What do you mean!?! *I surface and jump out, I move over and stand in front of the entrance facing the pool.* what was that all about? *I shuffle out of the tunnel and leave without another word. While I exit through the diamond cavern I carve engravings into the wall that are in my language, then I fly out and back up out of the hole.*

What was that all about?* draws arwen and steps back, startled by feshwas sudden outburst

*i think over the engravings in my mind* "quarter my resos quel tor herf nid del resos." (translation: forget my reason for I know not the reason.) *just walk without interest as I make my way to the forest.*

Follows klepter toward the forest,then realizes something. Klepter had said that he was dead yet if this is his imagineation than he still lives. Which means I could save him. Ripping myself from his mind, I find myself in the land of the living.

*i wake up back in the cave and suddenly relize what just happened.* uh...what happened?

Id say youre dying cause we never got the poisoned arrow out plus that agramor e don thing really didnt help

What do you mean? I feel fine, a little sore in the head, but fine...I think. *i look down at myself and don't see anything changed, except for this strange exstution on my lower back*

Odd, though how did u get that? The arrow didn't go through you completely so we didn't break the arrow off since it was barbed and agramor e don crushed you with rock * looks around* hey, where's feshwa? And silveera. The only ones around are me, you, Sitka, and Nezzer

Ummm... *i rub the back of my head* feahwa kinda got stuck in my head...in a kinda virtual reality place that I can somewhat control with my mind...as for silveera, I haven't seen her in a while. *i slowly make my way to some stairs located behind a fake wall so I can sit down in my own house.* Shadow...when we get to a town we need to stop off at a Mage's guild so we can somehow see if feshwa can get out of my head...*i start to clime the stairs.*

* follows behind* pretty sure that feshwa sorta got herself stuck in this, so she's got to want to get out of there

Of course she'll want to get out...that's why we got to get this done quickly.

Yes. Now let's go.

Well we first need to get ready first. *open another door at the top of the stairs and come out in my master bedroom. I go over to my chest and start to pick out stuff I think we'll need.* come on, let's have some dinner.

I have all the stuff I need

So you've eaten already?

i have food in my bag

Oh, ok then, I guess you can wait until I'm ready. Help yourself to see your way to the den.

ok*sitka follows behind, and lands on my shoulder * hurry up

I'll be as quick as I can. *i call after him.* nezzer, quickly, go back down there and look for anything I missed. *he quickly flies back down the stone steps to the cave chamber.*

gets to the den and looks out the window. it has begun to snow heavily, reducing visibility

*emerges as wolf form with a pack strapped to my back* if your ready lets go

Born ready. But why should we walk through the snow? Don't you have a tunnel through the mountain
