[RPG] [Outer Tilog][Ibladesh][Yes it is a colonies and EI thing] A Message for Sorcha

[kathleen stalnaker]

<i>A messenger in foriegn clothing caught up to Sorcha  finally...he had searched long and hard for her...having been told he  would find her in Ibladesh...and then not finding her there had been  most irritating...this land was too clean...this realm...and it holy  ideals...well too holy...he longed to return to Outer Tilog...and rank  air that befouled the city...finally someone pointed him in the  direction of Yassaria lands...and caught up to her between Leibo and  some other region...he cared not...he had a message to deliver...and he  would do so and be done with it...there was not telling what stupid  plot Angus might be hatching now...and he dearly wished to be back home  and in on the foolish plot...
  
  He approached the lady...and noticed she no longer bore the standard of  the Pontifex...but that of the Haraspex Maximus...so things here had  changed as well...not so fatally...but change was change...</i>
  
  "M'Lady...I have a message for you..."<i>Edgar croaked...his  voice harsh and discordant in the quiet of this evenings  ride...</i>
  
  <i>Sorcha recognized Edgar, her brother's creature...and blanched  visibly...the fact that the man had travelled to Ibladesh to bring her  a message would mean the news would not be good...</i>
  
  "Aye then lets have it..."<i>She said as she stopped in the road...</i>
  
  "Moira is dead...your fool of a brother led them against the militia in  Rollsovar and on the second day of battle she fell...mortally  wounded...Angus thought you should know...he asked after the  girl...Isolde...and wondered if you   knew where she was..."
  
  <i>Sorcha paled and her knees buckled a bit...it had been a long  time since she'd spoken to either of the twins...thier worlds did not  travel the same path....yet they were her siblings...and there was a  time when they were all close..and then there was the girl...</i>
  
  "I...no...I...don't know where the girl is...she has been kept well  hidden by her father's kin...at Moira's insistence...they will have  moved her from this continent...by now...Moira's dead...she...I...thank  you for these ill tidings..."
  
  "Aye and I did not like bringing such news to you...but you ought not  hear something like that unless it is properly delivered...but now I  must take my leave...I am sorry for your loss...but mostly sorry for  Outer Tilog's...she was a rather colorful little minx of a  chancellorix...and we'll all miss that..."
  
  <i>Sorcha merely nodded and watched as Edgar strode off...tears  that she had held in check for too long burst forth...and she sank to  her knees...Collum and her remaining 3 soldiers stood and watched  unsure what to do.</i>
