 The Search For Kathea, A Leap Into Old Elysia      The Soul Hound spreads his wings and vanishes in a burst of light.      "What he said at the last?!"      "That was the 'Mother' speaking through her 'hound', we must have really impressed her."      "So we are to access Elysia by way of the 'Rainbow Bridge'?"      "Yes, it makes sense now that I think on it. It is a part of Asgard, and wherever it touches it remains a part of Asgard. Until you step off of it, you are shielded from sight."      "So the Ravenous Darkness will not know anyone has breached Elysia until they step off?"      "Yes, and it would only be aware of who steps off, anyone remaining on the bridge will be hidden from its senses. A good advantage if it comes to a fight. But let us be on our way", Iriisii opens a portal to Asgard, to the beginning of the Rainbow Bridge. The protocol calls for guests to be anno...

 The Search For Kathea, A Leap Into The Dark Side        "Do your worst!"      "Continue. Start with him."      "As you will, Great One."      The mindflayer walks up to the man chained against the wall, taking his head in his sucker-tipped fingers. Holding the man's head perfectly still, while his body thrashes against the chains. The Illithid extrudes his tendrils and all watch as they begin boring into the prisoner's skull and soon into his brain. As the process continues, the prisoner's thrashing slowly lessens, his physical body shutting down as it no longer receives signals from his brain. The memories are being collected and stored within the mind of the Illithid. Finally, the prisoner's body can take no more and it dies, the Illithid removes its feeding tendrils, releases his hold on the body, and it immediately drops into a limp slump held up only by the chains and shackles.      Iriisii then t...

 The Search For Kathea, A Leap Into A Primal Scroll of Skelos      Iriisii and the others look at the writing on the Scroll.       "What's with the chicken scratching?"      Iriisii reads the first few lines to herself to confirm what she is reading.      "This is written in 'Dragon Letters' in the language of Dovahzul. Now I know why he said only I could read what was written in it. I am going to have to translate it as I speak it. If I speak it in Dovahzul, well there is to be only a small part to be spoken in Dovahzul. What will happen when I do, well at least there will not be any world cracking quakes or other such cataclysms."      Iriisii walks to the edge of the level, looking out over the crowd below, judging how much of her Thu'um to use so all can hear, she begins.      "I am the words of the Prophet Skelos, written upon this Scroll by the 'Hands of Destiny'. You, the people of...

 The Search For Kathea, A Leap Into The Coming of The Cold Death      The priest's acolyte arrives first, breathless and panting from his run. Iriisii bade the priest take the 'Holy Gem' and hold it until the others in the retinue arrive. While waiting she climbs onto the altar and sits down to wait. It isn't too long before those in the retinue see that nothing is happening on the altar dias. Within the palanquin being carried up the steps by muscled bearers, a hand gestures to a soldier walking next to it.      The soldier grabs a few more and they take off at a run, up the stairs, and onto the dias. They see the priest and he is grabbed as the lead soldier demands to know why the sacrifices are not being carried out. The priest points to Iriisii sitting on the altar. As the soldier starts to order his men to grab Iriisii and restart the sacrifices with her. The priest attempts to intervene as the soldier strikes him with a mailed fist, sending him t...
