I would be interested in seeing the logs of all the "globalecho-events" like the emerge of the Scions posted somewhere. As I always seem to miss these when they occur it would be great to be able to review them at another time so I can keep up with what is happening in Thera.

Snyto

Fiery red lightning streaks down from an icy blue sky.

An eerie, distant voice echos across the land 'I do not think your cause is one I would yet take up. Perhaps in time...but not now'

Turning, Shenara opens a portal and steps back into Thera...

A bright portal opens over Darsylon...as Shenara steps through, she rests a moment.

Staring at her hands a moment, then briefly to the east...she nods.

With a quick shimmer of power, she rises into the air...

And the Silver Falcon streaks off towards her old Tower.

With a shimmer in the air, the storms over Darsylon suddenly cease...as a strange aura of elemental power slowly flows through the sky.

Looking down from the Azure Fields, Shokai watches Shenara fly towards the Tower.

'Strange...'

Looking up from sharpening his axe, Garenth asks 'What be strange m'lord?'

'I thought she was planning on meeting me back at the Fortress when she was done with her errand.'

Testing the sharpness of his axe with his thumb, the dwarven lord says 'Ye're wantin' me ta'go see what she's about m'Lord?'

Glancing back at Shenara's flight, Shokai nods to Garenth 'aye, but don't follow as if you hunt, just keep your eye on her...if something is amiss,
call upon me'

Putting on his helm and grabbing his shield Garenth says 'I been needin' ta'stretch me legs a'bit anyhow. I'll keep me eye on her m'Lord'

Diving with incredible speed, Shenara drops from the sky over the Tower...
shimmering into her true form just in time to land upon the parapet.

Turning her empty gaze towards Shenara the Archmage snarls in an insane sneer.

A strange elemental shimmering surrounds the Tower.

'I have let your insanity run its course for far too long, Archmage... You are no longer worthy to watch over the Orb of Magic.'

Blinking her wide, unseeing eyes, the Archmage stares at Shenara...

'I've protected the students as you never could, Falcon.... they are safe, and beyond the Lich's power to harm.'

'You have turned this place of learning into a charnel house...'

Wrapped in the shadows, two unblinking eyes watch the exchange.

'Now it is time for you to pay for the lives of those who looked to you for understanding... time for you to pay for your betrayal of their trust.'

Bright bolts of arcane energy leap from Shenara's hands as she strikes the Archmage...

Quickly raising her hands in an arcane gesture, the air shimmers as the Archmage shields herself.

The air shimmers silvery-blue with arcane energy as Shenara draws upon the strength of Asgaard...

Staggering back under the force of the assault the Archmage swivels her head, trying to seek escape...

Still searching for anyway to escape the Archmage reaches into her robes...

'Take it then, Falcon! Choke upon it...and may it cause you the same blessing it has brought me'

As the Archmage shrieks this, she hurls a brightly glowing orb at the Silver Falcon...

In a flash Shenara, changes into the form of a falcon and streaks towards the Orb...

As the Falcon grabs the orb, the Archmage opens a shimmering portal and vanishes...

Reverting back to her half-elven form... Shenara stares defiantly at the fading portal.

'We will meet again soon, Archmage...and you'll pay for what you have done to those who trusted you.'

Giving one last baleful glance at the now faded portal, Shenara begins to examine the orb.

Behind her, the shadows slowly creep with movement...

A dark figure hovers, a black blade dripping a thick viscous slime...

Glaring through the darkness, the figure calls a shroud of darkness to creep over the Tower...blocking all sound from entering the room.

As darkness falls outside the Tower...

The air shimmers...the sky seems to flicker and fade.

'The last remnant...your Oracle has failed you for the last time...'

With the speed and deadliness of a hellspawned serpent...the Lich strikes the startled Shenara.

(in the Tower of the Five Magics area)
Shenara yells 'Help! I am being attacked by Valguarnera!'
Annalena yells 'I WILL GET YOU BETRAYER!!!'

The viscous slime-coated blade stabs into Shenara...

...glancing off her ribs as she turns...but leaving a savage wound.

Snarling with rage, Shenara leaps to her feet...

Gasping in pain and shock, Shenara falters...clutching her side as she wheels around to face her former student.

'What! How could this wound be! Your power can not harm me this much...'

'It is already finished, Shenara. Gasp your last breaths.'

Lowering his blade, the lich stands silent as Shenara struggles to stay standing.

Shenara tries to raise her arm and summon her power, but finds that the poison has sapped even that.

As Shenara collapses to the floor in a heap, the Lich speaks 'I will admit some pleasure in watching the process unfold.'

Gripping his axe, and raising his shield Garenth strides in...bristling with anger.

'Yer goin' ta'find yerself within' His flames shortly lich'

With a piercing battlecry...the dwarf launches himself at the surprised Lich.

(In the Tower of the Five Magics area)
Valguarnera yells 'Die, Garenth, you sorcerous dog!'

Parrying the blows of the enraged dwarf, the Lich says 'As always, a step behind, Sheepherder.'

Snarling and swinging his axe with an inhuman speed, Garenth growls 'I'm goin' ta'use yer bones ta'make a'bleedin' chair!'

'No, Garenth...they'll long be dust by then'

Wheeling around, Valguarnera stares at the Lord of the Maran.

'Bah, Skyborn! Here to give your minions a body to hide behind?'

Waving his hand quickly, the Lich opens a dark portal and steps through.

With a quick flick of his wrist, Shokai hurls his spear...striking the wall of the Tower just as the portal closes.

Turning the two Marans turn to the crumpled Shenara...her hands glowing from some last act of magic.

Frowning, Shokai kneels to look at the festering and oozing wound.

Staring at the floor Shenara speaks 'It's gone.... safe now... I sent the orb away.... from..him..I couldnt let him have it....again.'

Handing his Lord the spear he's retrieved from the wall, Garenth looks at the fatally wounded Shenara.

'I failed ye lass...ye will be avenged, me axe'll find tha' liches bleedin' skull I promise ye.'

As Shenara opens her mouth to speak to Garenth...a tiny shudder wracks her body, as her last breath escapes.

Moving swiftly, the Skyborn weaves light around the last of Shenara's spirit.

As the two Maran stare at the now lifeless body of Shenara, maggots begin to ooze from the wound...consuming the body slowly.

Behind the two Maran the air shimmers...

Moving as one, Shokai and Garenth wheel about...anticipating the return of the Lich.

With one swift movement, Shokai's spear whistles through the air...matched by the whistling of Garenth's twirling axe.

Instead of the presence of the Lich, it is another being unseen behind them... and a shrill scream of pain echoes as the spirit is cut cleanly in half.


Bright sparks begin to shimmer and flicker through the air over the Tower...as arcane energies rage wildly.

The sky over the Tower begins to blaze with bright fiery comets...

As the spear cleaves through its form, the elemental spirit whom Shenara had sought aid from falls to the ground.

An unnatural chilly wind whips into an icy fury around the Tower...

The ground around the Tower begins to buckle and split, as flame and ice leap from the ground and sky.

A grim look crossing his face as he realizes the true nature of the being, the Maran Lord leaps to the aid of the fallen spirit.

Unraveling the last breath of Shenara, Shokai guides it into the two halves of the elemental spirit.

Arcane lights flash and flare around the Tower...

Tapping the escaping latent magic used by the God Twist to form the Tower, now shattered by his spear, the Maran Lord uses it to fuse the elven
blood of the fallen goddess to the two halves of the spirit.

The ground shakes as the magic of the tower explodes violently...

Clutching the two healing spirits, and Garenth...Shokai races back to the Azure Fields.

Shattering with a flash that can be seen across the land....the Tower explodes.

The earth around the Tower shakes and trembles...buckling with the force of the arcane explosion.

Reboot: Rebooting NOW!

(small delay while we wait for everyone to reconnect)

High in the heavens above, two figures awaken to gaze upon the Maran Lord who rescued them.

(Author's note: A lot of the things said by the two figures begin in one "voice" (color) and end in another one. My log doesn't record color.)

'We are..

..alive still?'

Glancing at the two spirits, the Maran Lord nods.

'Aye, you live...but not as you did before.'

Moving as one, the two beings stare over their forms...

...and over the land far below them.

'We who were once one, now...

... are apart...what have you done to us?'

Staring in puzzlement, Garenth scratches his beard 'Two lass', one o'fire an tha'other o'ice, but they act as one...?'

Nodding to Garenth...Shokai's gaze shifts back to the two beings.

'You were slain in your former state, I though you to be the Lich returning. You are given life again from the last breath the Silver Falcon took'

'Her last was your first'

Scratching his beard, Garenth stares down at his axe and mutters.

Turning to Shokai, Garenth speaks 'Might'n we grant'em a place in tha'fortress? I feel a'owe what's left o'Shenara somethin'

Nodding slightly to the dwarven Shepherd, Shokai turns to look at the two beings.

Moving as one, the two nod.

'Shenara was a guiding teacher of the warlocks,

...the Golden Tower was her home...

...with her death, there are none to

...watch over her students...'

Inclining his head, Shokai speaks 'The Tower is yours if they will accept your guidance...how should they know you?'

'I, who wield my father's flame, shall be known as Savraeth...'

'...and I who possess his cold touch shall be called Ilraeth.'

Nodding grimly, Garenth extends his stubby hand 'Welcome home, tha both o'ye.'

A bright silver streak blazes across the heavens..

Swooping down over the Austere Chamber...the Skyborn comes to seek vengenace.

From within the chamber voices can be heard...

'The bishop and the pawns gone...hrm, a tough gambit, Lord.'

'Yet the game is not lost, is it?'

'Not yet, Lord Balgrimnr'

Striding into the Lord of Honor's chamber...Shokai finds Leika and Balgrimnr talking over a game of chess.

'Skyborn? Well met, what business do you have here?'

'I come with a challenge, Balgrimnr....a blood debt.'

Looking up in slight confusion, Balgrimnr stares at the Maran Lord.

'The Star-crowned lies dead. My friend lies dead...slain by your hand Balgrimnr. Again...I call a challenge of blood.'

...so saying, Shokai draws his spear and strikes it against the floor.

Nodding grimly, the Ehern Lord rises and grabs his pike from it's place along the wall..

'If you wish it so, Skyborn, then so be it...'

Looking on in horror, Leika stands.

'My Lord! I ask you, before you meet this challenge...grant me a moment?'

'Aye...if the Skyborn will allow it'

'This is not your battle, Leika.'

Moving to stand between them Leika raises her eyebrow...

'This battle does not involve you, Priestess.'

'But I am involved, Lord Shokai - as would you be. You attack not my Lord, but the mandate of Honor. Embodied both by my Lord - and the
unbreakable blade you still bear.'

'I will not interfere, Lord Shokai, But I ask that you look within and judge your own actions.'

'My actions? I have lost yet another dear friend, Leika...stand aside so this blood debt may be paid.'

Walking closer to Shokai, Leika whispers 'What of the oath you swore the Lady Mystra? Would you split Honor from Light and weaken that vow?'

'Is your quest for the death of Lord Nepenthe, more important than the oath to those who look to you as leader?'

Sensing the truth in her words, the silver arial drops his spear.

'Aye...priestess, you speak with a wisdom far beyond your years.' Kneeling, Shokai looks up at the Ehern Lord.

'I issued this challenge...and so I forfeit it. Will you release me from this challenge?'

Striding forward, Balgrimnr touches the kneeling Maran on the head.

'Aye, Skyborn, you are released from this foolish gambit.'

Still staring at the floor...the Maran Lord nods slowly.

Balgrimnr chuckles softly, 'Rise Maran...we spoke of you before you entered.'

Looking up Shokai fixes his gaze on Balgrimnr, 'Oh?'

'Aye...it seems my priestess wishes to serve us both.'

Striding forward Leika speaks, 'Aye, Lord..as I walked the mortal realms, I felt drawn to your path. Even while I walked that of my Lord.'

'If you will grant it, Lord Shokai...I wish to aid with the fortress you have raised.'

Chuckling to himself, Balgrimnr says 'her life of honor reminds me of you when you were young, Skyborn...'

Searching the grinning face of the Ehern Lord, and the sincere one of his priestes...the Skyborn rises.

'If you wish it, Leika...it is granted.'

Bowing low, Shokai soars off to the Azure Fields...

Chuckling to himself, Balgrimnr ushers Leika back to the chess game...

Wincing at the losing chess game...Leika smiles at her new found post.

A bright silvery light blazes across the sky, streaking from the north...Shokai returns to Asgaard.

As the Lord of Light touches the ground in the Hall of Asgaard...instantly the knowledge of his friend's death become known to him...

Shaking in rage, Shokai stares around the Hall of Asgaard...forlorn at the loss of Poetry, Amaranthe and Nepenthe...

Kneeling, the Phoenix begins a silent vigil for his lost friends...

Grinning wickedly...the Ebony Warlock watches from the shadows...

Running his thumb down the blade of his mighty axe...Zulghinlour grins, seeing Shokai's weakened state.

'Well, well well,' whispers the dark god to himself, '...perhaps I can end what we started long ago.'

Still in silent reflection, the Lord of Light lowers his head in a prayer to the Light.

Slowly...the dark god creeps up to the kneeling Shokai, raising his axe preparing to strike...

With a swift, single motion...the axe falls...silently splitting the air...

Snarling with rage, the Lord of light rolls out of the way...and leaps to his feet...

'YOU! You will pay...Zulghinlour....'

Words and motion become one as Shokai hurls his spear towards the Ebony Warlock...

Surprised by the quick motion, Zulghinlour steps to the side...managing to only be grazed by the searing spear...

Snarling with all the focused rage of his loss...Shokai draws his hammer.

Upon seeing Maran drawn, the Warlock grins a tight lipped sneer, 'so there is life in you after all, bird?'

Striking quickly, Shokai hurls a bolt of silvery-white flame towards Zulghinlour.

Unable to avoid the bolt, Zulghinlour stumbles under the blast.

As the Warlock staggers, Shokai throws himself at the dark god.

With a resounding sound, Shokai's hammer strikes the dark god's breastplate...sending Zulghinlour reeling

'There blood taints your hands, Warlock...thier blood taints your axe...you will not survive this fight.'

Sneering the Dark God retaliates...

...the blades of his axes whistle as they cut through the air.

Deftly, each blow is parried. Shokai's face still a mask of focused anger.

The trapped souls wail, and howl from within the axes...

Shokai's hammer glows with a near blinding light...

Snarling Zulghinlour speaks 'as we fight, Skyborn...the Haven of the Dawn you cherish and coddle will be razed...'

'already marching towards it...are my armies. Much has changed while you have been busy in the north.'

A swift, yet powerful blow knocks the Dark God to the ground.

'So sure of yourself are you? Do you think I have been idle in the north?'

Raising his head, Shokai lets forth a piercing cry...

From the North, the huge gates of a Fortress opening shake the lands...the rumbling of feet across the plains echos.

'I have an army of my own...Zulghinlour.'

Far towards the north...the sound of steel against flesh, as the Maran Tara'bal army clashes with the legion of Nightwalkers.

Eyes widening...Zulghinlour slowly inches away from Shokai.

Oh yes, Dark One...I too have been busy.'

'and now...we finish our dance...'

Snarling, Zulghinlour opens a dark portal...

'Another time, Skyborn....another time', with that the Dark God steps through, into the Abyss.

Staring at the closing portal a moment, the Skyborn soars off to finish the last of the dark army.

Safe within the Underworld, the Dark God Jullias watches with amusement.

'Are you ready for another task?'

A rasping voice speaks 'Of course.'

'You still hold the book?'

'Yes.'

'Good....how would you like to end the life of the Phoenix?'

Blinking lidless eyes...the Lich stares at the Dark God.

'Can such be done with my power?'

'You have the book...it can be done'

'Then it shall be done...'

'Do so.'

Nodding once, the Lich turns...already with plans of his own.

'So the book will give me that much power, eh?...I believe first there is another silver pest to be rid of'

Grinning a rictus smile...the Lich wanders off to find Shenara.

A dark portal opens in the Tower, once held by the Masters..

Leaping from it, the Lich proclaims 'there remains one last remnant of my Tower to sunder...'

Blinking with surprise...Shenara drops the book she was reading and swiftly changes into a falcon.

Taking to the skies before the Lich can catch her...she soars to Asgaard.

Chuckling to itself, the Lich opens a new portal.

Knowing an attack is soon, the silver falcon begins to glow with arcane energy as she prepares herself.

An angry portal opens in front of Shenara, as once again Valguarnera attacks.

Dark bolts fly from the Lich's hands...

One strikes the falcon as she attempts to dodge and dive out of the way.

Shrieking with pain, Shenara circles to attack the Lich.

Drawing upon the power of the book, the Lich begins to glow with an arcane light.

As the falcon dives, she seems to strike the air before the Lich...before bouncing harmlessly away.

The Lich strikes quickly at the shocked Shenara...cleaving into her with a savage iron blade.

Forced to rever to her true state...Shenara, stares at the gaping wound...blinking in surprise.

A figure cloaked in silvery shadows leaps forward and supports the weakening Shenara.

A voice, though soft carries across the land 'Seek another prey Lich!'

Turning in surprise, Valguarnera spins to face Shokai.

Shenara looks up in surprise at the figure, sighting the last she would expect to aid her.

With a brief nod to the silver-shadow clad figure...Shokai leaps at the Lich.

A figure cloaked in silvery shadows draws Shenara away from the battle, whispering 'I will not let you, too, die, my Child.'

While the figure moves Shenara...Shokai and the Lich circle each other...flames and dark energies flaring around them.

Drawing on the power of the book, the Lich matches the Lord of Light's power...

A streaking bolt of dark energy strikes Shokai...knocking him backwards.

'You understimate me, Skyborn, as have your Maran in the past'

Recovering quickly, Shokai launches a tightly woven bolt of silvery-white flames towards the Lich.

As the Lich steps to dodge it, the bright flames strike the book...

Bright silver flames curl around the book...burning away the dark energies within it.

Dropping the book in horror...the Lich steps back.

'Seems I've struck a lucky blow, Lich...'

Laying Shenara gently down, the figure cloaked in silvery shadows leaps forward to catch the book.

Drawing his spear...Shokai advances on the retreating Lich.

An angry red portal opens...as the Lich stumbles through, it closes quickly.

The figure cloaked in silvery shadows steps forward to the Phoenix and silently hands him the book, now suffused with golden light.

Glaring at the portal as it closes...Shokai nods at the figure.

Tucking the glowing golden book under an arm, Shokai turns to tend to the fallen Shenara.

As his hands glow with healing light, Shokai speaks to Shenara.

'You will heal, little sister...the wound is not as bad as I thought'

The figure cloaked in silvery shadows lays one paw on Shenara's brow before turning and disappearing again.

'Why do youy aid me Shokai, we have never met as friends, and I have always viewed you as my enemy'

'Because, little sister...we are forced to fight as one, now. Our purposes and paths have merged. Take this book...there is a place within the fortress
where it may be used well.'

'A place for the magics of the Light to gather and learn.'

Shenara holds the book and her feelings of anger fade away, as her wounds close, replaced with a growing respect for the
Maran lord.

Turning so his voice can be heard through Asgaard and all of the land, Shokai speaks...

'In the north, I have raised a fortress...a place where the three forces of Light will protect, fight for, and teach the Light.'

the Obsidian Golem: Lord Valguarnera....the Falcon has come searching for you it seems.

Valguarnera: Bah.... she will be taught the folly of daring to threaten me....

Valguarnera: She likely still thinks me a student. That will change.....

Valguarnera: I will deal with her.... personally.

the Obsidian Golem: She waits by my feet, Lord.

Valguarnera: Indeed.... but leave her to me... foolish as she is, her magic is still with her.

Valguarnera snarls 'You do not know me, Shenara..... no more than you ever did...'

The Lich continues, the words echoing from all sides... "For too long, you underestimated me... maneuvered to keep your secrets from me..."

Shenara flexes her hand as it transforms into a claw.

Shenara says 'I taught you all I knew... you were my brightest student.'

Valguarnera rasps 'And I have taken that... with the rest.... and turned it to far, far better things.'

Shenara screeches 'Then take your rewards!'

The sounds of a pitched battle ring down from the heavens...as Shenara continues her assault on the Lich.

Valguarnera: I will finish her above..... she is not as strong as she thinks.

A streak races across the heavens as the Falcon of the Tower pursues the one who betrayed her, and that which she stood for.

Reaching the darkened shrine where he has sought refuge, the Lich turns at last to confront his pursuer.

The Lich's defiant voice raises "No longer am I the servant, Falcon.... my day has come!"

"I expected you would be foolish enough in your anger to follow me here, in this unholy place where your power is at its weakest, and mine at its zenith."

Swooping down from the sky, Shenara's claws strike the Lich...knocking him back with a powerful blow.

A sneer forming on her beak, the Falcon circles around for another dive...

Regaining himself, the Lich stands up...preparing to loose a shadowy bolt against the small falcon.

A dark bolt flies towards Shenara, who flies to the side, being missed by a feather's length.

Her claws extended, Shenara again tear into the Lich...throwing him to the ground.

As Shenara rises up to strike again, a tiny flake of the Lich's bone drops from her claw...

"From here, I escape to the Underworld, my true Master's Realm, where you cannot follow.. our true duel will come, in time."

And within a globe of darkness, the Lich disappears, mere instants before the final strike of Shenara's magic blasts a jagged hole into the floor where he once stood.

Screeching with annoyance, the Silver Falcon circles and flies back to Asgaard.

Shenara's voice rings through the heavens... "We will meet again, betrayer, and you will pay for your deeds."

The only reply: "Indeed, Shenara..... we will meet again."
