Wilkens Wilkens Wilkens... When are you going to learn, my dear... Words are nothing more than that, mere words. They can only hurt you if you let them. As for Merri, i am keeping eyes on her as well.... despite Deanara's forgiveness, i still dont trust that one....

[Slyfoot M'Zors]

Wilkens, only because it is my fate to help others I offer you this. I know how to speak almost any language in this land. I now offer to help you with your speech. If you wish, I will help you form your words in a more western way, so that you will be able to speek like humans do. Take it or leave it, I care not.

::: out in the northern deserts of ro you see a tent out in the dunes. inside the tent at a small table sits a young warrior. beside her is another chair where sits a bird. dont worry my sweet. im sorry for leaving you alone out here but they cant know of you. i have to let them believe that i am a stupid street rat. so far its working out good. but i am sure glad i learned ogre. that sure helps alot. i have even fooled that enchantress. im surprised by the company she is keeping now. he will not be happy with my current report. which i had better get written up and have you take it to him.
" Sir,
I have found her. And im sorry to say that she has slain another. A young monk bearing the mark. I will keep you up to date as to her where abouts. She hasnt recognized me yet so all is good. Oh and another thing. From what the group of people are saying is she has takin a liking to an delf. These peoples dont know the kind of person she is. So far she has gained the distrust of an ogre, get this he has asked me to follow her. I can only hope we can stop her in time.
Your devoted servant,
Wilkens"

there thats done, here you go my sweet take this to him. you will most likely find him at the bank. by the time you get back i will have our dinner ready. she holds out her arm and the bird hops onto her bracers being very carefull to not pierce her arm with her talons. out side of the tent she tells the bird to fly true and quick. and off flys the bird. she watches the bird for a minute before going back into the tent to retrieve her sword. ok now to get dinner.

the stupid girl. i am surprised she hasnt recognized me. but then agian the acid that was thrown into my face by her hand has changed me drasticly. even my own mother couldnt fix me. i swear on my blood line that i will see that she pays for what she has done to me and mine. after hunting awhile she sees her pet circling around above her. smiling she whistles and holds her arm up. swooping down the bird lands on her arm. laughing she carries her pet back to the tent. one day my sweet you are going to miss my arm and go crashing into the ground. the bird ruffles its feathers as if to say that will be the day. that is when wilkens sees the note attached to the birds foot. dam him, i have told him over and over again that you will carry the posts. im sorry my sweet. he can be stubborn. here let me remove that for you. she reaches over and grabs the note gently undoing the binds. there you go, just for that i will give you something extra special. you ready my sweet. up you go, and the bird starts to fly, not too high my sweet you will miss what i have for you. she grabs the pouch that she was carrying and quickly dumps the contents on the ground and off scurrys huge rat. smiling she turns and enters the tent. i had better read this. and then i can get to my dinner and make the report for Zug. unrolling the message she reads it and smiling she puts it into her pouch. Father you are so predictable. now where did i put that pot?::::

[MerriMekko]

::: good and bad today. i shouldnt have expected more. but i did figure out that when the time comes he wont stand in my way. or at least right now he wont. his loyalties stand with Rhab and Argra. those are the two he will listen too. he still wants me to report her doings. which confuses me. why, if he wont help me is he so concerned about what she is doing.

and the charmer, she knows what my secret is. but she has said she wont say a thing. part of me says trust her, for she is different and she did appolgize for hitting mother. but there is another part of me which says, watch your back for you can not trust her kind. well, what she knows is important, but its the least of my worries at the moment.

i am alone with this for now, i dont mind, the less chance of my secret coming out. its bad enough that i made the stupid mistake of speaking human last night. zug also knows i speak human. i told my father i should just stick with human, then this wouldnt have happened. ok, got to think of a reason why i dont speak ogre anymore, and that i speak respectable human. hmm, i could say that i spent the night in qeynos, listening to the humans there. that might work. oh i dont know. dam it. ok, calm down, you will find a solution to this. rest, thats what i need some sleep. once i get up again i will know what to do, if not i will be able to find an answer. :::

Wilkens hears a voice :::: Wilkens......wilkens.....:::

"Huh? What?"

::::: You forget so easily......::::

"Forget what? Who is this?"

:::: You know.....remember my offer to aid you in your speach.......::::::

"Ah.....yes....but wait, who is this?"

But the voice is gone.

[MerriMekko]

:: oy, this trail of hers is confusing the daylights out of me. why did she go to tethelin.i have yet to see any undead up here. oh well, i will not concern myself about it. ok, so now where did she go. dam it girl, why are you traveling about like this. what are you up to. oh wait, we are near the town of morad, i should check the tavern there, maybe she went there next. she does like the dwarven ale. ::::

[Slyfoot M'Zors]

( nice job, keep it comming, I can't wait to find out what happens next )

[MerriMekko]

::back in the desert, you see wilkens walking quickly, and a little farther back you see a form, in a red robe ::

a there you are my sweet, its so nice to see you, is that the package you found at the circle? oh my this is a slightly heavy, you are such a strong bird. you deserve an extra special treat. mothers jerky, i know how much you love it. im sorry my sweet you have to go back into the tent, i have to take this package to mother. i will be back soon.

she heads back to the city, not noticing the figure in red.

once she gets home she sees her mother already up and about. "mother, this is from sly, she sent it to me to give to you" ::she hands the package to her mother, and watches her go totally speachless:: "mother?"
"what is it mother?" " dam it mother answer me" "dont speak to me like that" she watches her mother rewrap the package and put it in a basket.

" oh before i forget, the girl from the inn, i brought her here last nite. please do not tell anyone she is here."
" is she in trouble"
:: dam it, wrong thing to say, ok think gotta think ::
" well she is in some danger, but not in trouble"
renee stands there waiting for her daughter to continue.
wilkens face goes blank for a minute.
" she says that she needed to get away from everything. that she wanted to be alone"
" oh i dont blame the girl, not after what she has been through"
wilkens is now totally confused, i sure wish they would tell me what they are talking about.
"mother i wish you would stop talking in riddles."
" what is in that package? " :: laughs :: " oh im sorry, i thought you already knew" turns and takes the package out of the basket and opens it in front of wilkens. what wilkens sees totally shocks her. she understands why her mother was so speachless. "how much is there?" " i dont know but im guessing alot but your father is due home soon" " oh ya, sly said to not let father see this now i see why" renee laughs, " you send a message to your friend sly and thank her for me." " umm ya sure i will do that"
" i have to get back to the tent, my sweet is in there and she doesnt like it much"
" you still have that ugly bird? " while they are talking wilkens notices her mother putting food and stuff into a pouch, but at the mention of her pet she sees that her mother reaches for the jerky.
" yes i still do. and shes not all that bad. "
renee laughs, turning she hands wilkens the pouch" go to your ugly bird, and dont worry about the girl, i will watch over her"
" thank you mother"

wilkens walks out the door and quickly hides behind the catcus near by, she sees her father, and he gets so very mad when he sees her. she watches him walk into the house and then leaves for her tent.

[MerriMekko]

:: back at the desert, you see wilkens walking up to her tent ::

strange, i dont hear my sweet, she usually makes a fuss when i am near. wait a second...that flap, its not tied, i know i tied it when i left.

:: she draws her sword and slowly opens the flap and what she sees is blood everywhere and a note on her table " i know who you are, i told you i would get rid of this scavenger and you are next " beside the note is my sweet. she has been had her insides torn and strewn about the tent. ::

oh no my sweet, my poor poor pet, she always hated you. she shouldnt have done this to you. you poor thing.

wait a minute, this is making sense now. the reason why she was in tethelin was because i was there. she has known all along who i was. she has been following me as i followed her. well at least my report to zug will be accurate now. i know what she is up to. she is going to kill me. well sister dear, you will get your chance. but you will not win. you will pay with your life for what you have done. i will make sure of that.

ok i have to get ahold of zug and the rest of them. tell them what is going on.

::and off goes wilkens to find the ogres and the others, to give her report to zug and to tell the others of her sister::

[Slyfoot M'Zors]

Wilkens hear's Slyfoot voice in her head again.

:::: I am so sorry Wilkens, you poor girl. It must have been horrible ::::

"What?"

:::: Your bird. I grieve for you. ::::

"Oh, yes it was horrible..." said Wilkens drifting into thought. "She will pay for what she has done. "

::::: Do not let the rage blind you. Patience, be patient, or your plan will fail, and you will be the one suffering from your revenge ::::

"Oh, don't worry, I will be careful, " said Wilkens as she scribble down her thoughts.

:::: I will leave you if you wish to think :::

"Well, yes, if you don't mind, I would like to plan this out. I will call for you when I am done,"

Slyfoot remained scilent for a moment, thinking deeply to herself.

::::: As you wish........ I will give you time :::::

And with that, Slyfoot left Wilkens mind to think on her plot to destroy her sister. But she knew that wilken's sister was close at hand, and she wasn't about to let Wilken's get ambushed.

[MerriMekko]

( this is supposed to be after my post #9 and before slys post. and i am sorry to say that its only being put here because half of it was done in guild chat. if i have missed anything that i had said in guild chat i appologize ahead of time. for this is being made with the bits and pieces i do remember)

as she is walking to find zug and the others she hears a voice but it has no words. its not sly she is hearing, for she knows her voice. the voice gets louder and louder. ::wilkens falls to her knees screaming:: STOP NO MORE PLEASE. finally the voice stops. but what came next was sights, she saw such death and blood everywhere, it looked like someone slaughtered everyone in the world. everything is in such vivid detail. she can see the children lying there in pools of blood. she doesnt want to see anymore, she wants the visions gone. the visions finally go away and wilkens is just plain exhausted. nueare comes to her and tells her to meet her in the inn when she can. after a few minutes resting wilkens heads to the inn. when she gets there nueare is in the room that kal was staying in. :::boy this room gets alot of visiters. mostly from people i know::: while they are standing there nueare is speaking to wilkens but wilkens isnt paying any attention to what she is saying. something is happening to nue's eyes, they seem to be changing colour. wilkens backs away from nue, what...how you do that. do what, im not doing anything. your eyes, you made them change colour, how you do that. without warning nue attacks wilkens and almost kills her. wilkens realizes that nue is possessed with something and that she should stay away from nue. she turns and runs from nue scared for her life. wilkens hears a voice in her head, again not sly, saying come back i mean you no harm. ha, i wont fall for that, i know what you want you want to possess me like you did sly, well forget it. im not falling for your traps again. you fool, all i want is this girl dead. nope dont work, im not comin back. :: as wilkens heads back to the city with extreme caution:: im goin to drown her and you wont even come to save her. nope, im not comin near you again. she is drowning as we speak. i doubt that. :: as wilkens gets to the coach she can see that the voice is right. nue is at the bottom of the ocean near the docks. she goes running to nue and swims to her, grabs her by her tunic and drags her out of the water:: thank you :: gasps nue:: are you nue?. yes, i am . are you sure? yes i am sure. i need to show you something. come with me to fayspire. umm no, im not going anywhere with you. please just come with me, i have to show you something. ok fine, but im making my own arrangements, i will meet you in fayspire. ok thats fine.
( ok i cant member much more but points. i will do that in point form in ooc, if anyone has any ideas on how to put it into a story form send me msg, i will then fix this post. gone to fay, head to undead castle by fort seriak, nue says sumthin bout armies bein built we run for our lives. nue is possesed agian. nue stabs herself in tummy with dagger. nue is still possessed. i take nue to klick. nue then out of a complete comatose state gets up and says we gotta go. and walks with dagger in tummy. got rhab tryin to help me fix nue, hard to do cause we couldnt get rhab there in time to do this sl ( which i think nue should have thought of doin.) nue removes dagger from tummy, and is all better. we ended story there.)

:: notes from wilkens pouch on her current travels::

long travels short days. i am in search of a new pet to replace my sweet. i sure miss that bird.

what kind of pet should i have this time, i sure liked the way my sweet was able to deliver my messages to others. maybe i should find another bird then. just what kind i wonder. scavengers are good for carrying packages and such.

ah well, i will find the perfect pet sooner or later. until then i will be traveling around. not sure exactly where i am heading but i will let my feet take me to new and exciting places. also will have to find a few taverns on the way.
