/// I'm glad to see you got the equinox down, but next Weekend is a very important day for Chauntea worshippers and the like, Highharvestide (30th and 1st of the next months) Is the white mask theater planning anything for this holiday?

[paw]

/// As I said, Lore wise, the final two days of the Harpos calendar (30th and 1st, just like September and October in the real world) , are the Highharvesttide. It's basically a time of celebration and chance to give thanks to the harvest and end of farming for the year. . unless you did something along the same lines with the equinox?

The equinox theme was somewhat fall-oriented, but could easily be repeated.

*Herran hears of the preparations being made by the farmers and smiles broadly, then goes to speak to any who may be working on the structure at the time. While the White Mask Theater does not get involved directly in such private events, he offers his aid in any manner and talks to those at the theater about trying to be there to aid in the celebration*

After waking himself fully he sighs and heads for the theater, not with the joy and light step normal to his nature, but rather a forced step being carried by his will alone.

He opens the doors and stepping through greets Karl with a smile and light greeting, to which Karl merely nods and smiles in return.

Herran turns on the house lights and those of the stage as he normally does and is about to summon the band for some practice when he decides to wait a moment and go to the lounger for some fruit and water first.

As he enters the lounge he stops in his tracks and stares a moment in amazed disbelief. Then grinning wide closes the door behind him as he walks over to the one inside giving her a longing hug and loving kiss on the lips. " Mila my love" he finally says after several minutes of simply holding her tight and swaying side to side in a near dance.

"Where have you been? .. I have been looking everywhere for you." The relief on his face is unmistakable and he kisses her once again, not allowing her to answer quite yet.

He then leans his head back slightly so he can gaze into her eyes, smiling wide as he awaits her answer.

Mila sighed in relief as the door leading into the lounge from the backstage area swung open. She rose from where she had been sitting cross-legged on the decorative white couch in the interior of the lounge and smiled at her love as Herran opened his arms to embrace her, to which she readily accepted. Her eyes widened and she murmered softly as he placed a kiss onto her lips. They embraced a moment, clinging together and enjoying the moment as two lovers meeting again after some agonizing time apart.

Herran asked where she had been. The question was non-accusatory and she could see the concern in his eyes as he asked it. She started to reply but he followed the question with a statement that he had been looking everywhere for her. When she started again to reply, a kiss on her lips caused her to only be able to sigh softtly instead, and she grinned while biting her bottom lip and looked at him.

"Aww..did you miss me, love?" she asked softly, in a teasing manner, brushing her hand against his briefly as he regarded her. Normally, Mila might provide a lengthy discourse on her recent events, perhaps even more detail than Herran wished to hear, but she had seen the look on his face and she was worried as well as to what had been going on recently with him.

"...Oh..you know, Family business and all that. You know how that has me trapsing all over the land. I've been checking on a few potential candi...." she trails off and turns attention back to him.

"I've been so worried about you love. I talked to Nea a week or so ago who said you had been acting so strangely and then disappeared... Is everything alright, dear?"

She smiles back to him, a worried look on her face.

[paw]

"You know I missed you my love" he smiles in reply " just like the flower misses the sunshine on a cloudy day"

He then listens closely as she begins to tell where she had been, tilting his head slightly when she suddenly stops and then sighs lightly when she turns her question back to him.

"There were a few odd things happening" he chuckles "but all is well now that i am once again with you. Mayhaps even the visions will cease as my heart should no longer crave that which is no longer missing" smiles.

Knowing there will be no avoiding it now, he places the tip of one finger to her lips to stem the onslaught of questions he knows he will get if he does not continue. "This may take a bit, but, I will tell you all I can remember, that is relevant to what you and Nea discussed."

"First off, I was outside the FAI the other day with Kalytra and Pate having a simple conversation. When suddenly a ball of flame arose around me and I disappeared." he shrugs helplessly then but continues. "Twas but a short while later, I walked back to where I was standing before and passed out."

He takes her hands in his now and squeezes them both gently as he continues. "Of course I do not remember any of that, I am simply retelling what they told me. I seem to have had no ill effects from the ordeal" he smiles "but I have been having visions ever since."

"At first the visions were simple ... I would be taken away by a ball of flame to a room. A dark room, not as in scary, but as in ... well comforting and peaceful. For the room was full of plush cushions with shadows dancing everywhere due to the many candles with their flickering light. And the smell of a lovely sweet incense. I would have this vision -every time- I slept."

He smiles as he stares off now, eyes focusing miles away as he recalls the visions. "Valqis and I decided to do a test, to try and see how this vision was affecting me .... or even if it was. We made up a place in the infirmary of candlekeep and duplicated my vision." he chuckles " And i went to sleep. Valqis was to wake me .... mostly as a test to see if it could actually be done, after i was sound asleep, which she did" His eyes refocus on Mila now as he continues "The vision started the same." he then smiles at her "but went a bit further. Far enough that i could tell you were there ... in my vision. For I felt your presence, saw your silhouette in the shadows. I knew it to be you for my heart felt our love. You uncovered my feet from beneath the covers. I was lying naked beneath them." coughs slightly and grins to her. "You began by massaging my feet, and calves with a soothing oil." sighs whimsically. "Then Valqis woke me up and I did not see any more" laughs

"I began having the visions though ..... sometime before this ... where I would walk during my vision. No idea where I was going. Only the feeling that there was something I -had- to do." frowns slightly "It was very confusing, for I still have no idea what I felt I had to do." sighs "Teo wanted to lock me up in the infirmary and tie me to a bed though." laughs lightly

"Anyways, last night ... I ... " he looks to Mila now and blushes slightly "I got further into the vision then ever before. There were no changes to anything up to this point, but, now ... I can feel the oil running down my sides as you pour it on my chest and abdomen, rubbing it in with your fingers ... I still do not see you though .. nor really do I see myself ... I only -feel-"

"There are so many other things going on at the same time, they seem unrelated,but " shrugs "I am unsure. I know that I have been -craving- more and more to go to sleep, as the feelings in this vision are so real ... so strong ... " smiles "so wondrous."

Mila listens to her love, watching his expression as he first recounts the disappearance into flame, her eyes widening. She starts to interrupt and ask him what he believes happened. Seeing he is expecting this she instead remains silent, biding her time. Still, there is no doubt a sense of worry and concern in her eyes.

Her expression softens as he recounts the dream, her expression at times ranging from mild amusement to benign curiosity.

What do you think such a dream means, she would ask curiously.

[paw]

His eyes show relief as he sees her go from concern to amusement and he breathes a bit easier when she asks her question.

"Well, that is what I am not so sure of. There is a difference between a dream and a vision, slight though it may be. A dream is just a wild run of imagination that with luck entertains and relaxes one as they sleep. A vision is something more ... it is a view into the future ... a peek if you will .. not always absolute ... but a look through the glass of the future."

"What does it mean?" he sighs " I truly wish i knew. I do know I am seeing more of this vision each time I sleep. I know ... with the exception of the times I am in your presence." his smile widens "I know that each and every moment we are apart for any part of the day ... or night ... I am beginning to -crave- sleep .. just so I can live this vision." he frowns slightly now as he says the last "-That- craving worries me deeply my love ... I know it is not good ... to be drawn so strongly ... to become ... addicted so ... " at the last he simply trails off and takes in a deep breath, letting it out slowly.

[paw]

"Well love" he smiles wide to Mila " I have neglected the theater long enough. I think it time to have another open stage. But. I wish it to be something different. Something that can scare, or amuse." he chuckles

"Could you once again make me up some posters?" he ponders a moment "For say ... witches and broomsticks!" he chuckles lightly

"let us make it on ... uhm .... this coming tenday (this Saturday 10/27/12 @ 4PM EST), around about dusk."

and with that said he opens his arms and steps into a gentle hug "You are truly my arms and eyes my love. For without you ... the world simply would not feel ... or look quite right."
