The search for Dhugal

[Aeri`]

The elf had noted Dhugal's been missing for some time now. The words of Quincy stating he tends to do such at times did not sit with her well however. Something was wrong, very wrong and she sensed it. He was last seen with the fae running about towards the treeline and forest glade.

Many inquires were made and she found out from the fae herself that Dhugal was safe from all. His memory lost? She tried to explain to the fae that Dhugal would be in even more danger now, with his memory gone. She was vexed in finding the man and soon. Plans were made to set off soon to locate him.

Dhugal was needed and the sword of Lucian's as well. It would all tie up into a great plan held in secret. Dhugal's welfare was indeed worried upon too. The elf cared for her friends and would do all she could to find and bring the expriest back. Soon, the elf and others would venture out to locate Dhugal and the fae.

[Aeri`]

Two shades form from the catheral trees. One is very small .. slight, crowned in yellow. The other is taller and bent, maybe labouring horribly. The first fails to touch the second. Perhaps for fear. Perhaps something else.

The elf sits upon the earthen ground and stares at the faery ring, almost willing Dhugal and the fae to appear. The moonlight bouncing off sterling locks causing a illusion of glowing about her. She blinks as she see's two forms slowly make their way out from the ring.

Dhugal is suddenly..just..there. He steps out of some shimmering veil and there he is. Dirty. Hair and beard unkempt..and swaying a bit..ahead he can make out the lights of the Tavern across the meadow.

"Dhugal?" She blinks again and stands quickly. "Dhugal!" The elf nearly topples over herself to reach him and the fae.

"Aeri?" Vialweh called around a nectarine sized-lump in her throat. but the elf is already on her way. She pauses, lingers near the treeline as Dhugal passes her. Moving slowly toward the faerie ring.

" Aeri?" Dhugal looks about..and he is suddenyl tired..his limbs feel like rocks.

The elf races towards them and quickly, stopping before the two. "Are..are you alright?" She looks from one to the other.

Vialweh fingertips dance at her lips, plucking at the lower. Her face is marked with tears, with the effort of sadness. Aeri will reach Dhugal first. He might seem about to faint .. Vialweh is carefully, very smallishly .. part of the scenery.


Dhugal: "Aye..I stinketh...I reek oop t' th' very stars..I'm an oofense t' man an' beast alike."

Looking worn for wear and stinking, Dhugal was helped by the elf back to the tavern where other friends quickly helped Dhugal to get inside. The frenchmen was served a warm meal and then he promptly fell asleep at his table. Vialweh had remained back into the faery ring but would soon be confronted by the elf again soon. There were many unanswered questions and the fae was still in danger.

Dhugal...was home again.
