This probably doesn't make a lot of sense. Actually, it probably makes very little sense. Sigh... I admit, the background and the motivations for the events to come are not as unshakeable as I wanted them to be. You're welcome to point out the logical inconsistencies and I will do my best to correct the plot.

But, with Slide's Harrian killing Bodhi in the old-fashioned way, as we speak - maybe this will be a refreshing change? :wink:

Oh... and do not listen to Theo's musings - he is deceived and manipulated. It is all Bhaal's doing, regardless of what he thinks. :shock:

 

Rush Of Blood To The Head, part 6.9.

I have been here. I recognize the ornaments and mural-paintings of the dark crypt… Yes, I have been here recently. Why am I here again?

For my sister… to help her, to help myself…

The quiet sound of the footsteps, the clattering of the weapons, the whispering in the dark…

What do they say?

Their faces… one, two, three, four, five… where is the sixth… where is she?

Why the tears in their eyes?

The silhouettes part to reveal another… lying on the floor… her face, so unnaturally pale, marked with great suffering and pain…

What has happened?

“YOU KILLED HER,” the familiar voice says.

“I would… never… why would I do such a thing?” I protest weakly.

An unnatural, invisible force parts her lips and exposes a couple of sharp, pointy fangs… a vampire… she is a vampire…

“YOU CAME, ONLY TO LOSE,” Bhaal’s voice booms in my head.

“Why… why the warning?”

“SHE SHOULDN’T HAVE COME. EMBRACE THE POWER TO SAVE HER. OTHERWISE, SHE IS DOOMED.”

“Is this real? Or is this only a trick… an illusion you have conjured to trick me into using the power?”

“WILL YOU RISK FINDING OUT?” Bhaal’s loud laughing ends the dream and I wake with a start…

“Must not… allow her to come…” I mutter struggling beneath the bed sheets, but suddenly I feel myself being held in a firm and strong embrace.

“Having a bad dream?” Jaheira hums gently in my ear, “worry not, I am here to take care of you… you are safe and at good health.”

“Jaheira… what happened?” I finally open my eyes fully to regard her and notice that Viconia and Imoen are also present in the room. The images of the dream still are fresh in my mind, so I choose to remain silent for a moment.

“Druid’s Harper friend almost killed you, jaluk. You lost so much blood that we thought you are done for, but Jaheira and I emptied all our spells into your carcass and… well, I am glad to see you returning to us,” Viconia gives me the short summary.

“Yeah! And… and we showed that bastard Vermin really good!” Imoen squeaks, relieved to see me alive, “Eddie and I, we hit him with all we got and destroyed some pieces of furniture downstairs, while Jaheira… um… well, she… actually she scared me a little bit…”

“Scared you? How? Why?” I look at Jaheira, but she averts her gaze.

“Our dear treehugger almost lost it… she went after this Dermin like an enraged beast. She strangled him to death with her bare hands and her grip was such that she completely crushed his scruff…” Viconia elaborates on the details and Imoen makes exaggerated retching sounds.

“Well… I am glad to know that you feel so… strongly,” I take Jaheira’s hand in mine and smile at her, but she looks at me angrily.

“What… what on earth possessed you to pull such stunt? You know well enough that you cannot be raised, Theodur,” Jaheira admonishes me.

“Jaheira… you know yourself, that there is a very good chance that the resurrection might fail for you as well,” I look at her seriously, “and I would pull such stunt again, if necessary.”

“What? Why?” she asks, without thinking.

“Because I love you, of course. Because you would do exactly the same thing for me,” my answer is simple enough.

“Ah… to hells with it… what should I do with you…” she sighs, “might as well kiss the fool,” she exclaims in mock desperation, before leaning down and embracing me tenderly.

“Awww…” Imoen sighs dreamily.

“Pah! Mongrel love… don’t strangle him druid, I think one victim per day should satisfy your bloodlust,” Viconia snorts.

“Jaheira… would you mind telling me more about this Dermin?” I ask her as she has released me.

“Dermin… he was the man who introduced me to the Harpers. Every novice Harper has someone who watches over them and gives advice – they are called sponsors. I met up with Dermin soon after I had left the druid grove in Tethyr. I do not know how, but he seemed to know of my determination to serve and uphold balance…” Jaheira explains, “he ordered me to travel to Berdusk, to the famous Harper base – Twilight Hall. That is where I received my first tasks… and that is where I met… Khalid.”

“Well, I think that Harpers suck,” Imoen adds cheerfully, but then corrects herself, “um, are you still a Harper, Jaheira?”

“I guess that I am… but the question that should be asked needs to be phrased differently,” Jaheira sighs.

“You mean like… do you still want to be a Harper?” I try my guess.

“Almost… can I still be a Harper, that is what has been plaguing me,” Jaheira confesses, “and Imoen… I understand you, but know that not all Harpers are alike and for some of them I have little fondness myself. For example those Harpers that have been stationed in large cities – they frequently resort to achieving their goals with spreading rumors and deceiving others into helping them or ruining the plans of the opposition. Poisoning and assassination are parts of their everyday routine… I never approved of such methods of manipulation – but that does not mean that I could not serve as a Harper.”

“I was wondering about that, myself… I mean – excuse me for saying this, but you would probably make the world’s worst spy… and Khalid was equally bad. Somehow, I can’t imagine dad doing any of this, either… he was always one to take a direct action,” I add.

“I guess some of them weren’t that bad… sorry for jumping to conclusions, Jaheira…” Imoen looks a bit peevish.

“There are a lot of folks like us, amongst the Harpers – those of the adventuring sort. They spend most of the time traveling the land and looking to right the wrongs and fight injustice with a direct action, not being led by the orders of the superiors, but only by our beliefs – which is what Gorion did, Imoen,” Jaheira explains, “and I joined the Harpers to do the same.”

“Well, I know that you are one of the good sort,” I smile at her, “people like that meddler Elminster only give Harpers a bad name.” Jaheira only snorts at that and Imoen and Viconia share a little laughter.

“What about Bodhi?” Imoen asks suddenly, “You know… I kinda want my soul back, really… when will Theo be ready to go?”

“Definitely not today, Imoen,” Jaheira explains, “besides, it is already late afternoon… first thing tomorrow, I think he should be ready then.”

“We will inform the others then,” Viconia turns to leave and motions Imoen to follow her, leaving Jaheira and me alone in the room.

 

Sleep does not come easy this night. I suppose that it is only because I have spent most of the day in the bed – I actually feel quite refreshed and ready to go without waiting until the morning comes.

Or maybe it is because of that dream. I think that Bhaal was only tricking me, but still… there was something else, something that was not present in my previous Bhaal-dreams. A feeling… a peculiar feeling… as if Bhaal had only intruded in the dream midway through it – but how? And why?

If those earlier images of Jaheira, being turned in vampire and killed, were not coming from Bhaal… should that mean that this is going to happen?

Can I risk and ignore such warning only to lose her to my indecision? And it was so easy to tear up a dozen of vampires in Spellhold and cripple Bodhi, making her flee, bleeding, broken and in panic…

Would submitting to Bhaal for once, only this once, leave such irreversible damage? In any case, it would be I who would get hurt, not her… I think turning to look at my lover, sleeping peacefully beside me.

I will probably get yelled and perhaps even beaten up in the morning, but that is something I would likely endure… in fact, even treasure. I have no doubt that I will return alive – I know that the power of Slayer is too great for an army of vampires to withstand.

I suppose that I need to take Imoen with me, however… perhaps she needs to be nearby when I kill Bodhi. I hope she has memorized some invisibility spells – otherwise it might prove too dangerous, I ponder, before slowly and silently crawling out of our bed and donning my gear as carefully as possible. I stand for a while to look in Jaheira’s peaceful face, as if trying to savor these moments in case if something unpredicted was to happen. In fear of waking her up, I hesitate to kiss her – so I leave her and silently sneak towards Imoen and Viconia’s room.

So Theodur going to use the power of the slayer to defeat Bodhi. Even if his motivation is to protect Jaheira I still think he is being abit foolish.

Good chapter :shock:

Him looking foolish was not my concern about this chapter. I thought *that* was a well known fact.

Good chapter :shock:


Thank you! :wink:

You're welcome to point out the logical inconsistencies and I will do my best to correct the plot.


Hm...it does make a certain sense that he would not want to bring Jaheira along, after that dream. But perhaps you could go into more detail, expand a little on why he is so certain that the dream was a true warning rather than simply Bhaal's trickery? I feel that would probably strengthen his motivation.


Why the tears in their eyes?


The silhouettes part to reveal another… lying on the floor… her face, so unnaturally pale, marked with great suffering and pain…

Awww indeed. :wink:

Liked your little exposition here, on different kinds of Harpers.

And undoubtedly he is now making a very bad mistake. I can see Jaheira coming after him when she finds out he's gone.
Rogues do it from behind.

You have a case here. I think that the dream coincides with his own fears of Jaheira's well-being and his over-protective nature. Remember - the last serious fight they were in, almost got Jaheira killed... it is still fresh on his mind. I will try to include this as his thought processes in the tale itself - that could help.


What has happened?

“YOU KILLED HER,” the familiar voice says.


This was of course a very sad scene. :wink:


I'm not sure if Theo would be able to kill her, even if she was a vampire. I think he would kill himself.


“Our dear treehugger almost lost it… she went after this Dermin like an enraged beast. She strangled him to death with her bare hands and her grip was such that she completely crushed his scruff…” Viconia elaborates on the details and Imoen makes exaggerated retching sounds.


Good going. :roll:


Not that anyone's going to cry for Dermin. :roll:


“Ah… to hells with it… what should I do with you…” she sighs, “might as well kiss the fool,” she exclaims in mock desperation, before leaning down and embracing me tenderly.



“Awww…” Imoen sighs dreamily.


Awww indeed. :roll:


Oh yes... :shock:

Yeah... I have a soft spot for Harpers and do not like them all being judged by what we see in BG2 encounters. Consider this a very Evil Propaganda. :wink:

Should have included the line about Theo dropping sleeping pills in her drink. But no, I am making this twist for the most trivial reason - to avoid the abduction scene. Yeah, I lose a great potential for drama, I know. I hope that what I offer in exchange won't be terribly lame, though. :)

I don't know - I think Jaheira might make a decent spy. Certainly a much better one than Theo would, judging by their attempts at masquerading as drow in the Underdark.

Oh dear...this seems unlikely to end well.

I thought that was fine - made sense to me. The only slightly weird bit was when he said about feeling that Bhaal had only intruded part way through the dream - maybe you could add something to the dream sequence to reflect that? But assuming you intend to give some sort of explanation later as to why he had the dream if it wasn't all Bhaal's doing, then I don't think anything was particularly illogical.

And it's a nice twist - Jaheira's been in danger enough times in this story already really, so turning her into a vampire wouldn;t have added much. And the Theo-Bhaal stuff, as I've said before, is an intriguing interpretation of how the taint works. I just hope Theo doesn't do anything really stupid...at least he's not going alone, that's one sensible decision he's made.

Okaay. Now I'm confused already, and I haven't even started reading the story yet...


See, I told you. :wink:


For my sister… to help her, to help myself…


Hmm. So is this Theo having a weird Bhaal-inspired near death experience?


Basically, daddy Bhaal does not want to lose his precious son. Let's face it - our PC is the best tool to achieve Bhaal's goal and eliminate all the other Bhaalspawn.


The silhouettes part to reveal another… lying on the floor… her face, so unnaturally pale, marked with great suffering and pain…


So, if I'm following this correctly, he's seeing a sort of what-might-happen version of events in which Jaheira got turned into a vamp by Bodhi and then got killed?


Yep. I reckoned that Bhaal might use this. Iirc, every god has the ability to foresee things that concern his portfolio some time in advance. Now Bhaal is a dead god, but I still give him the ability to foresee a murder in this tale.


“I would… never… why would I do such a thing?” I protest weakly.


I believe you, Theo - even if she was a vamp, I can't see him bringing himself to hurt her.


I can't see it either - hence I had to avoid the abduction plot. Theo is emotionally dependant on Jaheira, I didn't think I could have him pull through this and still retain his sanity. He isn't strong enough mentally.


An unnatural, invisible force parts her lips and exposes a couple of sharp, pointy fangs… a vampire… she is a vampire…


:( But at least it's not real.


No... but those are powerful images. :(


“SHE SHOULDN’T HAVE COME. EMBRACE THE POWER TO SAVE HER. OTHERWISE, SHE IS DOOMED.”


He sure knows how to tempt Theo...


Those buttons are easy to push.


“Is this real? Or is this only a trick… an illusion you have conjured to trick me into using the power?”


:roll: Somehow, Theo, I don't think Bhaal can really be trusted to answer that one truthfully. And since listening to Bhaal has already led to you killing one of your friends, I would say that believing him is probably a bad idea.


Of course. The problem this time is that Theo really thinks that he can use the power to help his friends, without hurting them. He doesn't realize the consequences.


“Having a bad dream?” Jaheira hums gently in my ear, “worry not, I am here to take care of you… you are safe and at good health.”


Ah, good, he's ok :) .


More or less... :)


“Well… I am glad to know that you feel so… strongly,” I take Jaheira’s hand in mine and smile at her, but she looks at me angrily.


Heh, one scolding coming up :P .


I think that Theo would have it no other way :)


“Ah… to hells with it… what should I do with you…” she sighs, “might as well kiss the fool,” she exclaims in mock desperation, before leaning down and embracing me tenderly.


Aww!



“Awww…” Imoen sighs dreamily.


:wink:


Hehe... :D


“I was wondering about that, myself… I mean – excuse me for saying this, but you would probably make the world’s worst spy… and Khalid was equally bad. Somehow, I can’t imagine dad doing any of this, either… he was always one to take a direct action,” I add.


I don't know - I think Jaheira might make a decent spy. Certainly a much better one than Theo would, judging by their attempts at masquerading as drow in the Underdark.


Perhaps you are right. I think her temper would get the better of her on some occasions... also, I think that a good spy should be a bit cowardly and know when not to risk too much. Jaheira is too brave and eager, it would get her in trouble sooner or later.


Or maybe it is because of that dream. I think that Bhaal was only tricking me, but still… there was something else, something that was not present in my previous Bhaal-dreams. A feeling… a peculiar feeling… as if Bhaal had only intruded in the dream midway through it – but how? And why?


Interesting - so I guess the question has to be where did the rest of the dream come from?


As I said, don't listen to Theo - it was Bhaal all along. The premonition was helpful (if it is correct) and he is doubting if Bhaal would actually supply him with such information. Remember the Ellesime dream - very likely that Theo thinks that some other god/goddess is messing into this.


If those earlier images of Jaheira, being turned in vampire and killed, were not coming from Bhaal… should that mean that this is going to happen?


Well...since you've never had prophetic dreams before, Theo, it seems kind of unlikely that you'd start now.


He has been having all sorts of odd dreams lately. :)


Would submitting to Bhaal for once, only this once, leave such irreversible damage? In any case, it would be I who would get hurt, not her… I think turning to look at my lover, sleeping peacefully beside me.


DON'T DO IT, THEO! This is exactly what Bhaal wants you be thinking...


Theo: oh, come on... just one time, it can't be that bad. I promise, this is the last time. :roll:


I will probably get yelled and perhaps even beaten up in the morning, but that is something I would likely endure… in fact, even treasure. I have no doubt that I will return alive – I know that the power of Slayer is too great for an army of vampires to withstand.


:( I'm sure it is, but it may be too much for you to withstand as well.


Let us just say - he would want to be able to control the power of Slayer... a power like that could be helpful, if it could be controlled.


I suppose that I need to take Imoen with me, however… perhaps she needs to be nearby when I kill Bodhi. I hope she has memorized some invisibility spells – otherwise it might prove too dangerous, I ponder, before slowly and silently crawling out of our bed and donning my gear as carefully as possible. I stand for a while to look in Jaheira’s peaceful face, as if trying to savor these moments in case if something unpredicted was to happen. In fear of waking her up, I hesitate to kiss her – so I leave her and silently sneak towards Imoen and Viconia’s room.


Oh dear...this seems unlikely to end well.


For whom, though. Theo himself is pretty safe (his physical shell, that is) - my Slayer is not the game-Slayer who can be killed in two hits by dire-charmed Jaheira :roll: Slayer is the avatar of a god and should be near impossible to kill for any mortal being.

I thought that was fine - made sense to me. The only slightly weird bit was when he said about feeling that Bhaal had only intruded part way through the dream - maybe you could add something to the dream sequence to reflect that? But assuming you intend to give some sort of explanation later as to why he had the dream if it wasn't all Bhaal's doing, then I don't think anything was particularly illogical.


As I said, don't listen to what Theo thinks about it. It was Bhaal all the way - he just drew wrong conclusions because it seemed to helpful to be Bhaal's work. I should probably work it somehow, that it *is* obvious from the dream itself.

And it's a nice twist - Jaheira's been in danger enough times in this story already really, so turning her into a vampire wouldn;t have added much. And the Theo-Bhaal stuff, as I've said before, is an intriguing interpretation of how the taint works. I just hope Theo doesn't do anything really stupid...at least he's not going alone, that's one sensible decision he's made.


Yes, it was a crucial decision as you will see next chapter. Let me just say that without Imoen, he would not have returned.

And you are right about Theo and Jaheira being tortured enough already... however... imagine Jaheira's reaction when she hears of what Theo has done. :shock:

Thanks for commenting, I'm glad that this questionable chapter worked for you! :)

Made sense. And I think Theo would do such a thing. I mean, if Bhaal is controlling him in some way. That and the fact that Jaheira might die, would make him to do what he is going to do. I think... :D

The silhouettes part to reveal another… lying on the floor… her face, so unnaturally pale, marked with great suffering and pain…


:( I really do hope this won't happen!

What has happened?

“YOU KILLED HER,” the familiar voice says.


Oh, Bhaal... Sod off, will you? Theo has enough problems without you!

“SHE SHOULDN’T HAVE COME. EMBRACE THE POWER TO SAVE HER. OTHERWISE, SHE IS DOOMED.”


*Sigh* He's such an... unfair bastard! :)

“Is this real? Or is this only a trick… an illusion you have conjured to trick me into using the power?”


Hmm... I think it's the second one. But, anything might happen, so...

...well, I am glad to see you returning to us,” Viconia gives me the short summary.


Wow! Eh, are you becoming softer, Viccy? ;)

Viconia elaborates on the details and Imoen makes exaggerated retching sounds.


I can imagine that! ;)

“Awww…” Imoen sighs dreamily.


Agree! :(

“Pah! Mongrel love… don’t strangle him druid, I think one victim per day should satisfy your bloodlust,” Viconia snorts.


Ah... Be silent! ;)

“Well, I think that Harpers suck,” Imoen adds cheerfully, but then corrects herself, “um, are you still a Harper, Jaheira?”


lol Imoen... tsk, tsk, tsk!

“I was wondering about that, myself… I mean – excuse me for saying this, but you would probably make the world’s worst spy… and Khalid was equally bad.”


Ouch!

Hey! Is Theo a fighter, or what? (Don't know that... :( )

Or maybe it is because of that dream. I think that Bhaal was only tricking me, but still… there was something else, something that was not present in my previous Bhaal-dreams. A feeling… a peculiar feeling… as if Bhaal had only intruded in the dream midway through it – but how? And why?


You should explain it more, I think. What really happened and who sent him these dreams. :(

I will probably get yelled and perhaps even beaten up in the morning, but that is something I would likely endure… in fact, even treasure. I have no doubt that I will return alive – I know that the power of Slayer is too great for an army of vampires to withstand.


No, Theo! Don't do that! ;) It's Bhaaaal!! :(



Liked this one very, very, very much! Can't wait to see what happens next. :(

This probably doesn't make a lot of sense. Actually, it probably makes very little sense. Sigh... I admit, the background and the motivations for the events to come are not as unshakeable as I wanted them to be. You're welcome to point out the logical inconsistencies and I will do my best to correct the plot.


Eh... don't know if it's inconsistant. But the whole anture of the dreams isn't clear from the story itself. But you might clear that up in the future.

But, with Slide's Harrian killing Bodhi in the old-fashioned way, as we speak - maybe this will be a refreshing change? :D


Oooh... a TWIST... niceness!

Why the tears in their eyes?


What... even Edwin is crying for her? I didn't know he had it in him.

“Having a bad dream?” Jaheira hums gently in my ear, “worry not, I am here to take care of you… you are safe and at good health.”


át good health'? Anyway, 'taking care of you'is just what he FEARS right now.

“What… what on earth possessed you to pull such stunt? You know well enough that you cannot be raised, Theodur,” Jaheira admonishes me.


I see your Jaheira is as stubborn in pursuing lost causes as mine.

“Awww…” Imoen sighs dreamily.

“Pah! Mongrel love… don’t strangle him druid, I think one victim per day should satisfy your bloodlust,” Viconia snorts.


Nothing like almost bleeding to death to make people feel like luv.

“What about Bodhi?” Imoen asks suddenly, “You know… I kinda want my soul back, really… when will Theo be ready to go?”

“Definitely not today, Imoen,” Jaheira explains, “besides, it is already late afternoon… first thing tomorrow, I think he should be ready then.”


Imoen (whiny): But I want my soul NOW!

“We will inform the others then,” Viconia turns to leave and motions Imoen to follow her, leaving Jaheira and me alone in the room.


Hardly needs to be said WHAT they did.

Would submitting to Bhaal for once, only this once, leave such irreversible damage? In any case, it would be I who would get hurt, not her… I think turning to look at my lover, sleeping peacefully beside me.


Talek: Right you are. No hesitating in risking yourself for those you love. Even if it IS the druid bitch.

I will probably get yelled and perhaps even beaten up in the morning, but that is something I would likely endure… in fact, even treasure.


:( ;) KINKEH!

Heh... nice chapter. And now all expectations are thrown out of the window.

Intriguing chapter as always. Your plot twists continue to surprise and me and take the story in unexpected directions. Great job!

Made sense. And I think Theo would do such a thing. I mean, if Bhaal is controlling him in some way. That and the fact that Jaheira might die, would make him to do what he is going to do. I think... :D


Good, good! Nice to hear that it makes sense! Every opinion is useful! :(


The silhouettes part to reveal another… lying on the floor… her face, so unnaturally pale, marked with great suffering and pain…


:) I really do hope this won't happen!


It's been happening to Jaheira a lot lately. But not in this tale...


“YOU KILLED HER,” the familiar voice says.


Oh, Bhaal... Sod off, will you? Theo has enough problems without you!


He *is* Theo's main problem, really :(


“SHE SHOULDN’T HAVE COME. EMBRACE THE POWER TO SAVE HER. OTHERWISE, SHE IS DOOMED.”


*Sigh* He's such an... unfair bastard! :(


In a way he is doing a favour... but of course, he benefits from it himself.


“Is this real? Or is this only a trick… an illusion you have conjured to trick me into using the power?”


Hmm... I think it's the second one. But, anything might happen, so...


There's nothing more than a murder that pleases daddy Bhaal. Who cares who is dying?


...well, I am glad to see you returning to us,” Viconia gives me the short summary.


Wow! Eh, are you becoming softer, Viccy? :(


Hehe, probably Imoen's influence... :(


Viconia elaborates on the details and Imoen makes exaggerated retching sounds.


I can imagine that! :?


:)


“Awww…” Imoen sighs dreamily.


Agree! :(


Yup! :(


“Pah! Mongrel love… don’t strangle him druid, I think one victim per day should satisfy your bloodlust,” Viconia snorts.


Ah... Be silent! :(


Vic just can't help herself... ;)


“Well, I think that Harpers suck,” Imoen adds cheerfully, but then corrects herself, “um, are you still a Harper, Jaheira?”


lol Imoen... tsk, tsk, tsk!


And neither can Imoen... :(


“I was wondering about that, myself… I mean – excuse me for saying this, but you would probably make the world’s worst spy… and Khalid was equally bad.”


Ouch!


Oh, she won't take offense of that.

Hey! Is Theo a fighter, or what? (Don't know that... :( )


He was an archer with all throughout Bg1, but he is now more of a fighter. Life forced him into learning swordsmanship...


Or maybe it is because of that dream. I think that Bhaal was only tricking me, but still… there was something else, something that was not present in my previous Bhaal-dreams. A feeling… a peculiar feeling… as if Bhaal had only intruded in the dream midway through it – but how? And why?


You should explain it more, I think. What really happened and who sent him these dreams. ;)


I should. The trouble is that it's Theo's pov. For me to explain, he has to understand it first... I'll see if I can rework it somehow.


I will probably get yelled and perhaps even beaten up in the morning, but that is something I would likely endure… in fact, even treasure. I have no doubt that I will return alive – I know that the power of Slayer is too great for an army of vampires to withstand.


No, Theo! Don't do that! ;) It's Bhaaaal!! ;)


He'll do it. We will see whether he likes it. ;)

Liked this one very, very, very much! Can't wait to see what happens next. ;)


Thank you1 :( Next one coming up on Wednesday. ;)

Hehe, it's not the first and not the last, I promise.

Why the tears in their eyes?


What... even Edwin is crying for her? I didn't know he had it in him.


That's why we call this a... NIGHTMARE!

“What… what on earth possessed you to pull such stunt? You know well enough that you cannot be raised, Theodur,” Jaheira admonishes me.


I see your Jaheira is as stubborn in pursuing lost causes as mine.


True... Theo will gladly play the pincushion for her, any day, any time. Talking him out of that is a lost cause.


“Pah! Mongrel love… don’t strangle him druid, I think one victim per day should satisfy your bloodlust,” Viconia snorts.


Nothing like almost bleeding to death to make people feel like luv.


ain't it the truth, though? :(


“Definitely not today, Imoen,” Jaheira explains, “besides, it is already late afternoon… first thing tomorrow, I think he should be ready then.”


Imoen (whiny): But I want my soul NOW!


Hehe, I can actually hear her saying that... :)

“We will inform the others then,” Viconia turns to leave and motions Imoen to follow her, leaving Jaheira and me alone in the room.


Hardly needs to be said WHAT they did.


Of course. Jaheira read a nice book for Theo, to help him get asleep.

Would submitting to Bhaal for once, only this once, leave such irreversible damage? In any case, it would be I who would get hurt, not her… I think turning to look at my lover, sleeping peacefully beside me.


Talek: Right you are. No hesitating in risking yourself for those you love. Even if it IS the druid bitch.


Theo: Of course, I agree completely. Though it puzzles me who's this druid bitch you are referring to. :(

I will probably get yelled and perhaps even beaten up in the morning, but that is something I would likely endure… in fact, even treasure.


:( ;) KINKEH!


No... I will not elaborate on that... the two of them are glaring at me as I write this...

Heh... nice chapter. And now all expectations are thrown out of the window.


Yep. Kinda makes you pondrous of what exactly will happen. :(

It seems to come naturally to her.

[quote]
[quote] “Scared you? How? Why?” I look at Jaheira, but she averts her gaze. [/quote] Um…Have you met Jaheira?

Hehe, yeah... but after a year and a half, he expects Imoen to be used to that...

“Must not… allow her to come…” I mutter struggling beneath the bed sheets, but suddenly I feel myself being held in a firm and strong embrace.


“Having a bad dream?” Jaheira hums gently in my ear, “worry not, I am here to take care of you… you are safe and at good health.”


He'll find out... I wonder how Theo would have handled Jaheira's capture by the vampires, though. Probably not good. :)

“Scared you? How? Why?” I look at Jaheira, but she averts her gaze.


“Our dear treehugger almost lost it… she went after this Dermin like an enraged beast. She strangled him to death with her bare hands and her grip was such that she completely crushed his scruff…” Viconia elaborates on the details and Imoen makes exaggerated retching sounds.


She was in her right, I suppose... But OUCH...

“Pah! Mongrel love…


Judging from previous parts, it would be more akin to wild monkey-love. :)

 


Sleep does not come easy this night. I suppose that it is only because I have spent most of the day in the bed – I actually feel quite refreshed and ready to go without waiting until the morning comes.


Or maybe it is because of that dream. I think that Bhaal was only tricking me, but still… there was something else, something that was not present in my previous Bhaal-dreams. A feeling… a peculiar feeling… as if Bhaal had only intruded in the dream midway through it – but how? And why?


If those earlier images of Jaheira, being turned in vampire and killed, were not coming from Bhaal… should that mean that this is going to happen?


Very profound scene here... Odd sense of forboding...

Can I risk and ignore such warning only to lose her to my indecision? And it was so easy to tear up a dozen of vampires in Spellhold and cripple Bodhi, making her flee, bleeding, broken and in panic…


Would submitting to Bhaal for once, only this once, leave such irreversible damage? In any case, it would be I who would get hurt, not her… I think turning to look at my lover, sleeping peacefully beside me.


Peaceful scene by contrast...

I will probably get yelled and perhaps even beaten up in the morning, but that is something I would likely endure… in fact, even treasure. I have no doubt that I will return alive – I know that the power of Slayer is too great for an army of vampires to withstand.


I suppose that I need to take Imoen with me, however… perhaps she needs to be nearby when I kill Bodhi. I hope she has memorized some invisibility spells – otherwise it might prove too dangerous, I ponder, before slowly and silently crawling out of our bed and donning my gear as carefully as possible. I stand for a while to look in Jaheira’s peaceful face, as if trying to savor these moments in case if something unpredicted was to happen. In fear of waking her up, I hesitate to kiss her – so I leave her and silently sneak towards Imoen and Viconia’s room.


I have to give him this : He's a brave one.

No... I don't think so... the only comfort that I can see is that it is quite hard to commit suicide with a two-handed sword... :lol:
