As Hinzel spent time in the Temple, he wouldn't do much apart from lying in bed, and waiting for the visits from Annabel each day, sleeping otherwise.

The healer returns again, dressed less vibrantly. Her heavy eyes masked by make up. She enters the chapel again, sitting in thought and recollection for a long while. Tears streaming down her cheek as she leaves another paper upon the altar.

"Through your eyes I see his, through your actions I see his,
Through your heart I see his, Through your sword I see his.
Though they conflicted my soul, these words now bring me peace.

Gone is the pain and torment, gone is the suffering and torture.
This strains to bring me comfort through these dark days.

Let your deeds not go unnoticed, let your struggle inspire others,
Let your reflection live on in those you meet, let your cries touch their hearts.
I pray for these words to prove true.

With my heart I will always love you, With my heart I will carry your spirit,
With my heart I will cherish your memory, With my heart your flame lives on.
It is with a heavy heart I arise today.

I will not lose hope, I will not let the darkness consume me,
I will not succumb to the shadows befallen, I will live on.
Promises I leave for you."

The last verse is distanced lower, separated from the previous.

"Blessed are they who stand against the corrupt, unwavering.
Blessed are the peacekeepers, the champions of just.
Blessed are the righteous, the lights in the shadow.
It is in their blood the triads will is written."

/// Last verse taken from the Chant of Light from Dragonage

Neschera arrives in the Church of Ilmater up the day, she's had time to make a quick stop and change from her travel clothes to her full ceremonial robes of Lathander - the bright red and yellow colours playing in intricate patterns depicting the rays of the rising morning sun. For the first time, her colourful attire is marred by a single black armband, wrapped around her left arm as a sign of mourning.

Her expression struggling to veil the grief and pain at the recent news. Greeting the first brother or sister of the cloth she finds with the words.

"Dawns blessings on the Ilmateri - I am a friend of Ameris, and I pray you would allow me to stay here for a tenday. I've brought some provisions from the Song of the Morning in Beregost; food, blankets and herbs of healing for your Order."

After a brief pause, she mentions almost apologetically. "I came as soon as I heard."

10th of Tarsakh 1350 DR

The Dawnpriest Tolan, in the company of a female figure, arrives at the Church of Ilmater late in the afternoon. After but a few minutes inside the temple, the two of them go outside the city to the Eastern Farmlands and join a Caravan headed north for Waterdeep.

A note for the clergy is left at the Church of Ilmater.

• "Brothers and Sisters,
  
  I take my leave for a few days in search of Vicar Thomas. While this may come at a bad time, I feel that he will be crucial to the task that is bringing Cecilia and Ameris back among us and tend to their healing.
  
  Rest assured that I will not be travelling alone and will travel by Caravan for some of the way and aiding our travels with magical means to cover distance at a much faster pace. I expect us to be back on the 13th or 14th of Tarsakh.
  
  Signed,
  Tolan Faeglin
  Morninglord of Lathander
  Dawnpriest of the Song of the Morning temple, Beregost"

// I will be offline for most of the time until sunday or monday, at most a little forum RP. Until I do, take care!

A bit past midday, a letter arrives at the Sanctuary of Ilmater, addressed to Ameris Santraeger. The one delivering the letter, says it came from Waterdeep.

Late Last night in the Ilmater Temple a special and Wonderfull Moment came to Pass. With many people on hand and waiting with Baited Breath for the results. The Proud Father Mercury Looked over his Beloved And held His Baby Girl in his arms. Terri Lalani Looked up at her Man and her Child With Pride. Around them gatherd Familly and Friends. The Helmite Paladin Wai Li. She prays to Helm for the protection of the new born. Beside her Sani Briin Beams with Pride and Watches the new Life before her. Her Status as God Mother given to her not so long ago. And this Baby is almost as special to her as it is to the Proud Parents. Danny ever the Soldier Stands near the Door Gaurding the room and the Young Child With his Life. This earns him a Boyish but pleased Grin from the Over Joyed Father as he makes Funny Faces at his baby. And Last but Not at all the Least Terri's Oldest and Dearest Friend. The Woman that saved Terri's life as a child and in a way helped this Child Coe to life today Stands Holding Terri's Hands. Kat stands By the bed lovingly Embraced by the warmth of this Familly here. Mercury Passes His baby First to Kat. The baby then is Passed from person to Person untill the Young Infant in returned to Terri her Mother.

Sani Lightly Touches Mercury's Arm Worried to Interupt them she whisper's what's the Babies Name going to be? Mercury and Terri Look at each other and At the same time say the name...Tessa...Tessa Dreskia

The Nurses back away to give the Familly a few Moments with there new Child. And for tonight atleast all is good with the world they live in.

-----

Back at there Home in the Gate some Hours Latter Yoruichii Lalani Sister of Terri Lalani and Lexa Dreskia Sister of Mercury Dreskia sit talking. They had missed the birth of the Baby. Bother had been away on Buisness But they were Home now and thinking Fondly of the new Baby Tessa.The proud Aunts Hug each other and Speak softly of Bby tessa with tears in there Eyes as the newest Member of there Familly is Finaly born. Being Unable to have Children in there Relationship this is a special Wonder for them. They will always Love this New Child as if were there own.

(((((to make it clear this is because of the new Rule against Pregnancy. Restricted as we were by a Crushing rule. Considering the pregnancy was months in already. We chose not to face Uncertanty and not even know if the pregnancy that has existed for Months of RL role play will be permited to exist. And so the baby was Born. For the record we are both 100% against this new Rule.)))

*A parchment is found on the altar in the morning*

He is the one,
Who paces in my dreams.
He is the one
Who hears my silent screams.

I am the one
Who wields for him the quill.
I am the one
Calling upon Your will.

You are the One
Who bleeds upon the Rack.
You are the One
I call, please guide him back.

the Next Day Preparations are made Based on Plans that were Made Long ago. Kat and Sani are Entrusted with the New Born Baby Tessa. Mercury Calls Danny Aside and Gives him the Job of Guarding Kat and Sani and Most of all Tessa. Kat and Sani and Guard Danny Bring Baby Tessa to Yori and Lexa's House In the Gate.

They all had Agreed that the Baby Needs a stable Home and alot of Love. And So Lexa and Yori agree to take the Infant. Terri and Mercury do not have there own House. The home of Lex and Yori is now open to all the familly and the Extended Family of Friends. Thus Baby Tessa will be well cared for and Loved by Many people.

((((Meaning that the baby will be at the home of Lex and Yori who are mostly Retired. And there for kept Safe from Trickster and generaly just outside of any Quests so the Baby is not an Issue or a limitation to any RP. Also the Baby will be considerd an NPC based on the new Pregnancy and baby Rules.

Hinzel would again be absent from the Temple, having left during the night.

*At the dusk of day, Reader Za'than Za'amal is seen arriving at the Church of Illmater. Next to him is a cart, being pulled by a pair of gruffy-looking peasants. As they arrive, he thanks the men, and pays them enough to feed their families for a month. They thank him, and wishes the best recovery of the one in the cart.

In the cart itself, lays Brenda... taken 14 days prior, by the Zhentarim. She dont look well... Having been raised, after many days without life, her body is dirty, her lips dry and breathing slow. However, she is alive...

He knocks on the doors, and informs the priest and others of the faith of her return... Then leaves his name, and lets her be taken care of by her own.*

[Silver_Lining]

Brenda sleeps soundly in her own bed, weak and recovering.. being woken every few hours for food, water, and care..

*A last visit is made*

[/tr][tr][td]

[/td][td]
I return with my thanks and a last offering,
Glad that prayers were heard, and life allowed to spring.

I will stand now and watch, begin my own vigil.
Rest assured neither sword nor quill will remain still.

*Za'than once more, appears at the Temple of Ilmater in Baldurs Gate. This time, he carries the body of Raven Devilscry... She looks like someone who just ran a marathon, not to mention her body being covered in ashen remains, as if she had been engulfed in flame, not to mention, she radiates heat.

He requests that they keep her on metal, or sand, something that dont burn well, as she "may ignite".. however does mention that its not likely.

In her hand, she clutches a gemstone, a Canarie Diamond...

He leaves a letter next to the bed.*

"When you are better, do seek me out. I'd wish to discuss the happening, if you could humor me?

-Reader Za'than"
