"This book is special even for the monks that wrote them." Ember said then smiled at him again, pausing and looking around then going to pick up another old book to bring over to the lantern light "See, this book is a good example of what most monks did back then" Ember said as she showed him that book. While it had pictures they were not nearly as awe inspiring as the other and these did not move.

"They can, but they prefer to have wood to mix with the ashes. It also helps them to make the fire hotter without quite such a use of their own energy. I think that helps to maintain memories from one life to the next, but I do not know for sure" Rana said with a light shrug.

"I should have put it back on my belt, but I was not my normal self then. I'm not certain I am back to normal now." Ian said and looked to her then back to the path, reaching a hand back to her again "I won't let you get hurt if I can help it."

Aaran frowned a little then shrugged "I do not know, we came late to that drama. King Racine may miss us but I do not know if anyone else will."

Sorcha stared at the speaker, struck to silence at that accusation for several seconds. "I would never..." She started then looked to Avalon at her words, bowing her head. Did they really misinterpret her words that badly or were they just itching for a fight? She didn't know. She blinked, noticing the blood on Avalon's hand and took a step closer "My Queen, your hand is bleeding, may I heal it for you?"

Danika sighed in relief when Pariah left them then hurried over to Shaylee to see her. She knelt down and looked to the fae woman then to the door before shifting to her unicorn and touching her horn to Shaylee to heal her and wake her up.
Shaylee groggily opened her eyes and looked at the unicorn before her then at the room they were in "We were captured?" She asked then rubbed her eyes again. "I'm sorry Danika"
Cadeon looked between the two books and couldn't believe the difference. "It's almost as if that one is alive." He observed breathlessly.

Sandor nodded at that explanation. He knew very little about Phoenix. Other than that burned and were reborn. "Intriguing to say the least. Just as I can't conceive how tedious a single lifetime would be, to someone who has millennium's. We must seen like fumbling child that never truly masters anything in our breif time here. " He said with quiet logic, as he laid down in the middle of the room and looked up at the ceiling.

Lexi glanced to his hand a moment before she took it. "You are so brave and protective of me. I don't know what to say, other than I don't deserve your kindness, Ian. I'm a siren, you can't trust your emotions around me." She said truthfully.

"Then let's stay here. We can always claim ignorance. After all, it's not our affair. Why should we be required to attend? " Elina said with a shrug.

Qdoba smiled as she came over to work on her hair. "Would the princess like it up or down? " She asked softly.
Falkirk looked to Star with a critical eye. The offered his suggestion. "If I may make a suggestion. Perhaps a combination. Up in front with a braided tie back, with the cascading length in the back."

Once order had been restored, Avalon blinked at Sorcha's soft words and looked to her bleeding hand. "Yes, by all means. Thank you, I hadn't even noticed. " She replied quietly. She then looked to the gathering and said finality, "You can expect my proclamation of my new mandates on this matter by this time tomorrow. Until the rite fight then." She then left the throne room with out a backwards glanced. She knew Spyro watched her back and that Sorcha would come with her. Once she was out of view of her subjects, she started shaking all over. She slipped into a private a ways down the corridor. What had she just set into motion.

as the queen left, Prince Jatevt stepped forward to the table with the saucer with the queen Avalon's blood upon it. He whispered an incineration spell and ignited her blood to keep any enemy from acquiring it. Satisfied he'd got it all, he stepped back to collect the book of laws and left. He had many amendments and clauses to add to it.

Pariah went to Markus's office to look at the fey king's spell book. Perhaps there was something in there that would shed light upon the phenomenon she had captured. Markus looked up as she came in. He frowned as he noticed the expression upon her face. "We lost her, didn't we?" He asked in reference to Lexi.
"I know not, I became distracted buy a much larger prize. Two to be exact. I put then in cell D-23." She said absently as she thumbed through the pages.
Markus cut to the live feed in the camera in that cell. He gasped at the sight. "You caught Amar?!" He asked excitedly.
Pariah sighed with annoyance and stated, "I know not what Amar looks like. Now quiet, I'm trying to think."
