the part about "wasting" is open for definition...

Althea saw the beavers come closer and quickly inhaled stormlight. Shooting a quick glance at Night, she held out her hand. "Grab my hand and I'll take you to Shadesmar to think about that?" She then gave him as long as she dared to wait, and then elsecalled into Shadesmar just as they jumped them, hoping they wouldn't directly follow. Think Althea, she commanded herself. Think about it for a moment and sort your thoughts. @MacThorstenson @PrinceDusty

As soon as Araha let her go, Damaya turned around, observing the room. There were no stairs here, an therefore, it needed to be somewhereelse. She decided to simply ignore the fact, that the man had just appeared as some kind of illusion, pushed everything around him back, far far back into a part of her mind, where it couldn't hurt her. Not now at least. She wouldn't break down, not when there were people around for her. "There's another room, I've neven been into, just next to this one." she informed the rest and then started walking. There were strange sound coming from upstairs, but she ignored them. Down, he had said to go down. Down she would go. And when she was finished with them, they would wish to have never been born. Rage twisted her thoughts, and instead of reining it in, instead of trying to think clearly, she simply left it, where it was. This rage was her own, and here and now it was good. She left the room and stopped in front of the other door. Then she opened that one as well, revealing a set of stairs. Well, that explained, why she had never seen anybody work down here. It had been a ruse. Without looking back to see if anybody followed, she held up a sphere and started to descend into the darkness. @Gancho Libre @Grey Knight @Cyanic @Silva

Althea observed how Night finished off his opponent after some minutes. Walking over to him she smiled. "Congratulations on winning the duel." Thinking for a moment she then added. "You still owe me a dance, so unless you've got anything else planed?" Out of the mail hall she heard the announcement and saw the first mistbeavers enter. "Or maybe we postpone it."

A man walks to the notice boards and sees the answer to his message. Carefully he takes it down (= the reply of a woman to the guy looking for a woman) and puts it in his pocket. He then adds a new one. ====================================== Edit: A furious man walks up to the Notice Board and pins a large piece of paper over the messages of the woman: @Cyanic

Althea shrugged. "Sorry for being late. I could help to study those symbols or the barrier. Or I can simply go along and help when the need arises. Whatever you think could be helpful. I tend to spend a lot of time in Shadesmar or the cognitive realm if you prefer that expression and know my way around there." @Kidpen

I lost! The perfect way to start the week Thank you for tagging me and for posting here.

Althea entered the room and greeted Night with a curt nod. She then turned to adress the Liebrarian. "I've been sent here to help. Although I have to admit, that I wasn't fully informed about the exact state of your plans at the moment. Is there anything apart from the options you mentioned, that I should know?" @Kidpen

Althea could. But honestly she would be no match for him.

Thank you xD No probably not *couldn't resist* Oh and I lost of course.

I really liked Hrathen. Though for my favourite I usually name Shai from the novel "The Emperor's Soul" (which you should definitly read, if you haven't so far )

Butt was sitting on a nice patch of grass and observed butterflies.

That's been a while. What I still remember: They searched for keys to save the world. Though that may not be 100% accurate Prepare for the next one: Anyone read Brian McClellan's Promise of Blood?

Hello and welcome to the shard! And which one would be your favourite character?

@Perse Just a short side notice: Try to avoid posting more than once in a row. If you want to add some information, you can always edit your previous posts. And you can of course quote more than one post from someone else in one of yours. It's not grave, since you are new here, just try to keep it in mind for further posts!

Althea followed Meijin and Vaisin to the duel and then left them alone, stepping closer to the duel. If it really could be called a duel. The moment the speaker had announced that as long as they kept a certain distance they were allowed to interact with the combatants turned it from duel to "entertaining side show". Night seemed to hold himself quite well and so she simply continued to observe. She planed to step in, before it turned into an embarresment, but doing so now would show everybody that someone weak had been chosen for a vital position. @PrinceDusty

Hello and welcome to the shard! And if you could choose one metal for you to use, which one would that be?

Vulken looked around and cursed again. The man loomed behind him, this woman in front of him. He was checkmated. Searching for an option to get our of here alive his eyes fell on Damaya and he smiled again. "Damaya." he adressed her, his voice soft, caring. "Could you please tell you friends to let me go? I never wanted to hurt you, I only did, what she told me to do. You know she's crazy." Damaya stared at him, took a moment to understand his words and then shook her head in disbelieve. He was asking for help. He was asking her for help. Her. For. Help. She walked closer, avoided the zone of glowing Stormlight and stopped in front of him. "You did what you wanted to." she replied her voice still calm, but underneath this calm was something else. Something dangerous. She had been holding herself together thoughout the attacks on the Waystop, had managed to stay sane these last years, and something within herself was straining to keep all of it contained anymore. "You beat me senseless. You broke my arm, the last time no five minutes ago. You played with my mind." She started, her voice getting louder and louder. "You hurt me. You tried to use me. Gave me stormlight to heal myself and hurt me again." And somewhere along these lines she lost it. Grabbing her staff with both hands she slammed it down on him, send him toppling to the ground. And when he was lying there, she stared at him, raised her staff and hit him again, and again. He said something, but she didn't register the words and when he tried to reach for a vial she stomped on his hand, shattering his fingers. She heard the sound of breaking bones, saw his blood coloring her staff, her skirt and yet she continued, until he was lying there not moving at all. Breathing hard she realized only then, that she had started crying sometimes and used her hand to brush the tears away. She didn't feel better. She only felt worse. But sometimes you had to feel worse to become better. Or maybe not. "That was one." she announced. "Now, where is the woman calling her self my mother? I know you are here. You never leave the house!" acid coloured her voice as she called into the darkness. @Grey Knight

Vulken tried to keep track of those attacking him. Suddenly the woman split and he focused on the one storming towards him. Pushing himself of another candle lighter he evaded her attack and, pulling an obsidian dagger out of his sheath, he slashed at her. When he hit nothing he cursed and then laned again on the ground. That stupid woman had tricked him. He whirled around, only now remembering Damaya, realized that he had lost his grip on her and cursed again. This wasn't going as planed. The man dashed towards him and Vulken burned Bendalloy, buying himself a bit of time to evade the attack. But the man was fast, faster than he had thought and still managed to get a grip on him. ======================== Damaya saw Araha dash away and then closed her eyes and took a deep calming breath. Whatever had pressed on her finally vanished completely and she when she exhaled again she felt better, calmer. Whatever had happened it was over. She stood up, slowly getting to her feet and inhaled some stormlight. Looking over at the man who called herself her father she felt nothing, but this time it was a good kind of nothing. More a I don't freeze up in panic type of nothing, than a I can't feel anything at all. And with that she looked at him, at Riathor and Araha attacking him and finally grabbed her staff from the ground. She would help them, if it was still neccessary after this attack.

I've lost again. Thanks @whattheHoid @I think I am here.!

For writing really cool and touching rp posts.

Althea suppressed the urge to roll her eyes when Vaisin crashed her conversation like that. He should have known better, he could at least have told Meijin his name. Still she didn't interfer, wanted to see how he behaved once she replied. And it would be interessting to see, how Meijin would react to his direct question. @Silva @I think I am here.
