Journey to Sanctuary

 Journey to Sanctuary     Iriisii is taking in one of those rare moments of time when nothing is pressing on her to be done. This moment she is enjoying a foot massage of a kind she has never before experienced. The masseur is an old man of some racial type called Oriental, hailing from a far world but whom she picked up on her last stop where she had saved his life. It seemed he was but plying his trade when the sounds of his client elicited a strong effect upon the client's husband when he overheard them. At this moment she can understand why the former client was voicing such moans.

His hands are all over this along with others, some she barely knows anything about, others she has no idea who they are or what they represent.

Returning Home 5

 Returning Home 5      Darkstar slowly smiles, "Thank you, I did not know that I could ever feel like I do right now." She takes Rigmor's hands in hers, brings them up to kiss  them, then draws her into a deep hug, arms wrapped around her. As Rigmor wraps her own around Darkstar, Darkstar kisses the top of Rigmor's head, and whispers, "Thank you."      As they separate, Darkstar says, "One last part to look at, her quarters. They are just down the corridor from the 'Pit'." As they make their way onward, Rose asks, "Are there any likely surprises waiting for us there?"      Darkstar thinks and replies, "No I do not believe so, at least not of the variety we have so far encountered. There may be more mundane things, paperwork, orna..., shite, I almost forgot."      Rose: "Forgot what?"      Darkstar: "The Mute's second-in-command's skull. She said she was going to mount it on one of the bedposts as h...
