The Folly of Despair

[Iris Faust]

"Eat or drink..." she questioned her self softly. "Um sure. I would like...water?"

[Despair]

Despair gets Iris some water and hands her the glass carefully. He bends and whispers in her ear. "Maybe you should just run far far away and hide. That is the only way you will ever be free."

[Damon]

Damon looks around and starts to get a little bit more of his memory back. He remembers a fight, he remembers losing. A shiver runs it's way down his spine. Breathing into his hands Damon looks at the snow falling around him.

"Good to know the army hasn't fallen since I have been gone. Where are you stationed around here, I must get word to Violet. I must find out what has happened in my absence."

[Iris Faust]

Iris sits there for a moment. "Free from what?"
She looked at him confused. "Im sorry Mr. Despair but I don't understand what you mean."

[Ludda]

"Stationed...Violet? Uh... I am stationed at a remote base in Japan. I was sent here on a mission....on a mission to find an artifact...yeah, it should be around here somewhere. I can't go back til I find the artifact. Violet would kill me if she sees me and I don't have it." Ludda is impressed with his lie. He starts pretending to search the area for some mysterious artifact.
"There is a Red Infinity base 100 kilometers south of here. You can contact Violet from that base." He is not sure if there is a base there or not, but at least that will send Damon away.

[Despair]

"Don't you understand? You are going to be used by Red Infinity to operate a machine. You will never be free to do whatever you want. You could run away now and escape that sort of life. It is your only hope."

[Damon]

Squinting his eyes Damon looks south. Spreading his wings he looks at Ludda.

"Continue your mission, I will inform Violet that you were a great help to me in my time fo need."

With that said Damon springs into the air riding the wind currents south.

[Ludda]

Ludda watches Damon fly away. Once Damon is out of sight, Ludda runs into a nearby cave to hide. "Phew, I've got to be more careful."

[Kankahattaret]

"Let's go then Kelthassil. We can do the sorcerer's dirty work. We need the boy anyway if anyone is to use the kampa."

I take Kelthassil's hand and teleport him to Helsinki so we can begin our search.

[Swan of Tounela]

"We should hurry Toivo. I fear that Red Infinity may get the same idea as us."

I look towards Iivavi.

"You have done nothing wrong Iivari, so do not feel ashamed. Your god betrayed you...and nature."

[Lady Violet]

I get all of my office work done early and wonder if maybe I should go home early. I hardly spend any time at home these days. I decide that I will be a good worker and stay until the end of the day. I don't want to miss out on something important.

[Spirit of Autumn]

I nod to Damien.

It won't be long now.

I eagerly watch Grove from the bushes.

[Chai Ling]

"It is no use. I can't find Leon anywhere!" I shout to myself.

I have only one option. I must find the demon Cephrien and ask him where Leon is.

I return to the rebel base and begin to pack my things.

I will go to Beijing and get the answers I need.

[Simona Weil]

I sit in my room at the rebel base reflecting and writing. This time away from the anarchists has been relaxing, but I miss Antero and Sasha.

I have to see them this weekend.

I wonder what happened to James. Ugk! James.

I get back to writing and try not to think of the annoying machiavellian.

[Aung San Suu Kyi]

The trees that I ordered were delivered in a timely fashion. It is too cold to plant them today. Instead I find myself confined to my office, looking out at the blustery weather.
The cold makes me depressed. It reminds me of...that experience. I never want to be cold again.
I put on another sweater and try not to think about it.
