"The air is so much more different in this land, and the sky is going to take a bit of getting use to." Isane said aloud to herself as she gazed up at the sky in gludio.
It had been a few days since leaving her home on the Isle of souls in the company of her bodyguard, Amsel. Isane wandered about the town, looking in the shops, and admiring the trinkets that they was selling. Amsel sighed and shook his head as again, and again she would grab him by his arm and drag him to the next thing she wanted to look at. He really didn't mind her doing that to him, he kinda enjoyed getting closer to her.
"Amsel...." Her saying his name snapped him out of his daze. "Tell me, about those churches.... Are all those that worship in there as stupid as the fool in the embassy back home?" Amsel paused noticing that she had pulled him into view of the church in Guldio. "My'lady.... we shouldn't be here. And as far as them, they are hypocrits... Saying that they are helping the people, when all they are really doing is supressing their people with ignorance and fear. It's best that they not know that your here, defending you could become alot more difficult."
Isane frowned for a moment, then started walking away. "Very well, I want to somewhere else now. Which way is the darkelf village? I hear they are stronger supporters of us Kamael, and they might have better goods."
Amsel nooded and caught up to her. " As you wish, I am and always will be at your side."

It had been a few days since leaving the town of Guldio. Now at the Dark elf village, this felt a little like home to her. The village was in a bit of an uproar from a disturbance with the counsel chambers. Their presence didn't go unnoticed for very long, a Dark elf woman approached them smiling. "My master bids you welcome, he sends his apologies for not being able to see you at this time my'lady." This was a little surprising, seeing that her trip was kept a secret. Amsel frowned and went to step between them, he was stopped when he felt Isane's hand pull back on his arm. "Just who is your master and what is his name?" She again smiled. "My name is Emilla N'sier.... And I work for the Tetrarch Vellior."
"Interesting.... How did you you who I am?" Isane stepped closer to Emilla circling around her. "Word was received from the embassy that one of your counsel elders had sent one of their offspring out. We was to be on the lookout for any Kamaels that would visit out humble village, now how may I assist you?" Amsel grumbled at what he was hearing. No telling who else knows about this, and how much trouble is this going to cause. Isane thought for a second then smirked. "Where is your library? I would like to read on the dark magics that your people use." Emilla sighed and nodded. "I can take you to a smaller library for right now, maybe within a hour or so I could get permission to take you to the larger one.
A few hours later, Isane had gone through several books of magic. Amsel sat quietly with her starting to nod off a bit until he herd the door open. Emilla stepped through followed by two more dark elf men, one was a knight and the other in a robe. "My'lady I would like to introduce you to my master, Tetrarch Vellior." Isane rose from the table and went to greet the Tetrarch. Vellior took Isane's hand and kissed it. "It is a pleasure meeting you, I was unable to attend the first meeting between our people, and I wish your visit would had come at a better time. And perhaps we could help each other out." Isane paused for a moment looking him over and then to the knight before returning to the Tetrarch. "I see..... I was wanting to know more of your research into dark magic and any possible information on breaking seals."
Vellior smirked seeing an opportunity to use her strength and that of her bodyguards to his advantage. "I do have many notes on seals, I am looking for a way to remove one myself... I worked hard in gaining this knowledge and given your status I still don't feel as I could simply give this information away."
Isane frowned for a moment thinking of what her mother said of the Dark elves. "I hope the price isn't too high." Vellior shook his head. "No, I just would like a little matter that is disturbing the peace of our village one being a former celebrant, that is choosing to spit lies about our faith and another that committed murder here taking the lives of many."
"So you want her to be your assassin? To right your wrongs too...." Isane held her hand up to Amsel to quiet him for the moment. "That's fine by me Amsel, this could be a very simple task to take care of, and I need to do what ever it take to remove this seal of my body, so I can achieve the power of my ancestors. Now Vellior could you tell me more about these problems?"

Vellior smiled; "Now there is no need to rush into this. Come with me please, both of you." The Tetrarch lead them to what seemed to be special quarters for the special visitors. The room was set with many pillows and a bed and bath tub of fairly large size. "Emilla, please help the lady settle into her quarters." Isane walked in ahead of them looking about the room, picking up one of the pillows as she walked about. Amsel tried to follow her in but was stopped by Vellior. "I have somewhere for you to stay. You would find it a bit more fitting."
After a few minutes of walking they found themselves at the barracks, not quiet what Amsel expected. "You couldn't expect to be roomed in the same room with her? Do not worry, she will be safe. And besides,there is something you can do for me." Amsel paused for a moment. "And that would be?" He turned away for a moment. "The kameal you travel with is very strong you could help her more by taking care of the celebrant's guards she travels with.... two, maybe three blade dancers of some skill. I know the could be found on the fantasy isle from time to time or go to Aden and search. I'm telling you this because alot of the priest that follow Einhasad reside in this area and she would not be safe from those fanatics. If you head out now I will make sure she stays safe here while you are away." Amsel frowned a bit as he thought about what he said. "It's my job to make sure she is not harmed on her trip and, you make a good point. If I find out your deceiving me, I'll make your death as painful as I can.
Amsel held silent for a moment. "Ok but I'll need a few hours of rest, an Isane better not be harmed, or I will make your death as painful as I can like I said before Vellior. Giving a smirk toward Amsel "Rest a sure that Isane will be safe." Amsel heads back to where Isane would be sleeping. Gently he knocks on the door Isane answered "Who is it'?" "It's me my Lady, Amsel." Isane didn't respond for a moment. "Come in, I am in the bath." Amsel came in making sure to close the door behind him as he knelt near Isane's tub. "How you doing my lady?" Isane looked at him for a moment and smiled. "I'm doing good for now, this is almost like I have back home but I don't wish to dwell here too long." Amsel smiled, "Guess I had best let you finish here and get to bed my lady." Taking her hand and giving it a kiss before leaving out to prepare for his tasking.
*****
A few hours later, Isane layed on the bed gazing up at the ceiling unable to sleep, twirling her hairpin in her hand. Her thoughts dwelt on having her full ability and using that to take her mother's place and perhaps take the place of the heirarch himself. But could that man be trusted? She her the stories of how the dark elves couldn't be trusted just like the elves and humans. They all have their greedy types. Isane sighed thinking that it's much easier when you just have a task or a target. If I am to eventually lead my people then I have to learn how to deal with the people of this land. Starting to feel bored and wondering why Amsel had not returned to check in on her she decided to step outside. Slipping her armor and boots back on she grabbed her rapier and started to the door. Gently turning the knob she pulled the door open only to be greeted by five Shilen knights. "What's going on here? Move, I'm going out." Isane told them as she went to push past them.
"We are here to make sure that you go anywhere." One spoke as he stepped in to block her. "Where is Vellior.... how dare you attempt to keep me here." Vellior stepped around the corner. "My dear, I am preparing to inform the vice heirarch that you was kidnapped by the church and your dear protector sold you to them. We will also state that the celebrant and her followers played a role in this, so I'm sure she will assist us in putting a stop to the followers of Einhasad. Isane drew her rapier and attempted to strike the Tetrarch only to have the attack blocked by one of the knights. She then went to cast her dark flame spell, but before she got the spell off she was struck in the back with a shield sending her to the floor unconscious. They picked her up and locked her back in the room. "Make sure her knight doesn't return from his journey."

Morning had come and Amsel's search in Aden was turning up to be a fruitless one. No one seemed to know anything about the current location of the celebrant and her allies. Beginning to grow frustrated Amsel started towards the church, and it was then a hooded woman stood in is way. He tried to step around her but she would match his movements. "Step Aside woman,I have a job to do." She pulled back her hood revealing herself to be Emilla. "You've been deceived by the tetrarch, the Kamael has been taken hostage." Amsel flew into a rage grabbing the Summoner by the throat lifting her slightly into the air, a moment later he found a dagger put to his throat by another dark elf woman. "You can put my sister down now, she is after all not your enemy. We are going to help you to rescue her." Amsel lowered Emilla and released his grip on her, and at the same time the woman removed her dagger allowing Amsel to turn an face her. She was obviously a ranger judging by the large bow strapped to her back. "I am Kallen N'sier and my other two sisters are back in the dark elf village seeing to the release of Lady Isane. We are a mercenary family and we have been payed a pretty good amount of coin for her safety and to see that you return to the Kamael village." Amsel looked puzzled for a moment. "Who hired you to do my job?" The anger welling up again. Emilla stepped up next to him. "You will find that out upon your safe return there, now you will have to wait in the town of Gludio until Velmina and Andrilla complete their part of this. And just getting you their is not going to be easy since you are a heretic of the church and, they are waiting for you to leave town, but not to worry, we have a little extra muscle to help out with this job.
****
The room was spinning as Isane came to, her head hurt from where that shield hit her. "This is disgraceful..... Allowing myself to be taken like this? I'm an elite warrior and lost that easy, Mother would have me sent back to the academy for such.... if they don't exile me." Isane sat up and looked about the room,her rapier was on the floor and the room was secure. The door also seemed to be reinforced against magic, so escape wasn't going to be easy. Isane sat quietly on the bed thinking of what her next move should be. Voices was herd for a moment, quiet at first, then got a little louder. A couple was the guards and then there was a woman's voice, no there was more than one. Soon there was sounds of a scuffle then more silence, shortly after the door crept open slowly and a Dark elf woman peered in. She looked to be a celebrant and was followed in by a blade dancer that quickly walked toward Isane. "Please come with us, you aren't injured are you?"
Isane wasn't sure how to approach these two, the healer could be dispatched with very little effort and the blade dancer might take a bit more work but as things seemed for now they was on her side. Isane pushed passed the two and out into the hallway where she met a third dark elf male. He was a knight like the ones that locked her in the room but he was pulling the bodies of the guards in the room she was in. "Lady Isane... We are to escort you back to the Isle of souls." The Celebrant said. "And who gave you this order?" Isane question. "Kekropus..... Now please move forward." The blade dancer said as she tossed a torch onto the bed, setting the room a fire. "That's going to cover our escape, hurry we must head to the west gate before they realize whats happened.

The two women started leading Amsel out of the city, the ranger known as Kallen N'sier held his arm tightly as she pushed her way out of the town square. "Wouldn't it be simpler to just use the gate?" Amsel suggested. "Your a fool, Vellior tipped of those fanatics of Einhasad that a well known heretic and escort to her enemy is in their city. Think where the gate keeper resides and who does she answer to? You'll be arrested when you came back toward her." Amsel glanced back at Emilla and frowned. "I thought you was a servant of Vellior..... at least that's how it looked the other night." Nodding her head. "Adena is what we serve above all else, well the goddess as well, but having a full coin purse is our goal." Smiling as she finished. "How do I know this isn't another trick?" Kallen stayed silent as they passed the guards waiting till they had got further away from the city. "Lady Isane's father filled us in and paid an extreme amount to see this job though. I don't believe you are in trouble." She let go of his arm and motioned for him to continue following. "She never r mentioned him before to me, who is he? And why don't you tell me?" Giggling, Emilla stepped up next to him. "The one called Kekropus, he said she is one of his early works that was given to his aid Zeyna to raise.... Something or other about her having a seal to prevent her from destroying something can't be removed or whatever. That stuff wasn't important to me, but we get paid the rest once she is returned to him.... three hundred million Adena is worth this trip.
Kallen came to a stop taking the bow off her back and preparing to attack, looking to Emilla she gave her a nod. Emilla returned her nod and started to chant a spell causing a ring of blue magic that a creature made of shadow came though, chanting again a tiny ball of energy materialized above their heads. "Now would be a good time to prepare yourself, the fanatics aren't going to let us go that easily." Kallen said . A moment later cloaked and hooded figures came onto the road from the woods, white with gold trim some carrying staffs and others swords. "You there.... where is the sleeper of the darkness, that Kamael you are protecting." One spoke. Kallen was the first to attack sending an arrow into the throat of one of the men carrying a staff. "That's so like you starting things off like that, oh well let's begin." Emilla smiled sending her pet into the men. Amsel called his panther and also charged into the men. The fight it self was not a long one, with Kallen's attack it had took them off guard killing their healer, the remaining retreated back into the woods leaving the three to continue on. "Hurry up Amsel, I must get you to the hunters village before nightfall, and from there you will use the gate keeper to get to Guldio."
***
"What makes you three think I'll trust what your saying, that I'll let you lead me somewhere? Using the Heirarch's name means nothing to me... You dark elves have shown me that you can't be trusted just as the humans and your cousins. " Isane stopped following them and looked back to the burning building. The guard was occupied now allowing for them to escape the area and proceed to the western gate leaving the village. Andrila handed Isane a scroll and montioned for her to open it. "That will take you to Guldio, Yes it's true that some of our kinda can't be trusted but I'm sure even your people have those with that qualities." Emilla had already used her scroll and Isane signed and did the same. Moments later they was back in the town of Guldio, and no sight of Amsel. There was however, a platoon of the Kamael councils' guard which quickly approached Isane and surrounded her. One soldier tossed Emilla a sack of coin. "That's half your payment for bringing her, you will receive the rest once Amsel is brought here." "Wait, a minute.... What are you going to do to him?" Isane asked, but she was met with silence as they escorted her to Bella. Once back in the Kamael village she was met by Zeyna and a few more guards. "Welcome home child...The Heirarch wishes to meet with you out at the soul harbor." Zeyna put her hand guiding Isane along. "I suppose I am to be punished there..." "If you are talking about being taken by the dark elves that was expected, what has concerned us was when we herd that you looked to remove the seal placed on you. It is not my place to speak any further on this matter.Soon they stood at the soul harbor and there Kekropus and Vice heirarch Mao stood waiting. "This has never happened before, she had never asked this of us before." Mao shook his head as Zeyna and Isane neared.
"Thank you Zeyna I will take her from here... Now, Mao send us into Noril's garden." Isane looked puzzled at the location. "Why are we going to that old relic of a place? You sent me there when I was little to learn about this island, why go back now?" There is someone else you are to meet an she requested to see you and I have some things to further explain to you."
"I think I herd all I want to hear from that machine..." No sooner than did she finish speaking that she felt the sting of Kekropus' hand across her face. She could taste the blood on her lip before wiping it off.
"That sharp defiant tounge is another thing we are going to discuss." She was confused on what to do, her anger wanted to lash back out at the Heirarch, but that would result in more pain. She held the side of her face as the light surrounded them taking them into the garden.
Once the inside they appeared in a different area, the machine was there but it seemed more like someone's living quarters. Before long a Kamael woman stepped around the corner, she was beautiful even with an eye patch covering one of her eyes, her wing was slightly Grey and her armor different. "Hello child, I am Rodenpicula.. and in a way I'm your real mother." Isane smirked at first then started laughing.
"How can that be your suppose to be dead.."
"Well as you can see she is quiet alive and speaks the truth, in fact I'll shall explain it for you. You are one of the early experiments into making your kind of Kamael. The first few was utter failures, however, there was four embryo's that showed promise. The first couple of them was mentally unstable and went insane after a few years. I stored the next two away long after the war with the gods had ended.
Having successfully creating other Metsula, I decided to revisit the other embryo's applying what we had learned, made you and one other by implanting you into willing female Metsula. You Isane was Embryo number four.... Number three will reveal himself in time if he so chose to. I want the seal on your body to remain until I can evaluate that your mentally capable of handling that power."
"Einhasad still hunts us and her followers will want you, they will kill you and study you... Your talent has made you arrogant and stupid. Your constantly underestimating your opponents and under value the one that travels with you. You are powerful my dear, but the way you are with that seal broken you would have that goddess breathing back down on us in no time. There is a way to convince us to remove this if you can prove that you have humility and can care for someone else other than yourself."
"This is a bit much to take in all at once, what your asking is simple enough but, how am I suppose to do this? " Isane asked sitting in one of the chairs nearby.
Rodenpicula sat next to her and took her hand. "Kekropus gave you something that we don't have, the ability to change our fate, to grow, to have emotions to love. You haven't explored all these things yet. The Celebrant that dark elf sent you after, I want you to join her, you share a common foe after all. Take Amsel with you, and I want you to learn to be part of a larger calling. I will continue to observe you, as well the others. When I think your ready I will be the one to lift that seal.... And now it's time for you to return."
When she finished They went next to the machine known as mother Noril and was returned to the soul harbor. Amsel was there with the guard as well as the N'sier sisters. "Isane, you will find the Celebrant on the fantasy Isle, should you be accepted you will be as a protector for her as well. And you may choose to tell your bodyguard about yourself or not. Do your best, and stay out of trouble. Those dark elves will assist you should you need it."
Isane nodded and went to Amsel's side. "We should get going,.. There is a lot for us to do. And perhaps maybe you can show me some things once we get to the fantasy Island." Isane smiled taking Amsel by the arm as they went to Mao to be sent off.
