Nieyobee looks at Melyda with interest in her eyes.

Melyda surveys the area, determining where within the Realms they happened to meet.

Small cots dot this common sleeping chamber, high atop the second floor of the Lion and Dagger Inn in the crossroads trading village of Mesraht.  The room has a pleasantly musty smell, as if well-used but well-cleaned as well. In the northeast corner of the room, a spiral staircase leads down out of this room, the scent of beer and food wafting up from below with a soft murmer of voices. This is what soothes the senses within the Lion and Dagger in within the gates of New Mesraht.

A female prrmyrish cleric named Nieyobee is standing here.
Nieyobee softly grooms her fur as it sways as this graceful cat moves to and fro.  Emerald green almond shaped eyes gaze out at you in cat
like curiousity.  A clawed hand pushes her fur into exact place 
as it runs down her side and over her hip.

Nieyobee bows before Melyda.

Melyda says in elven, "Hello there"

Melyda smiles weakly.

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "I am sorry I do not speak that language"

Melyda switches to the prrmyr dialect.

Melyda shakes her head.

Melyda says in prrmyr, "Tis not a problem. my apologies..."

Nieyobee looks at Melyda with haughty Prrmyrian eyes.

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "Faywhen said I might run into you sooner or later."

Melyda asks in prrmyr, "She did?"

Nieyobee carefully licks her paw and runs it down her fur straightening any stray pieces.

Melyda says in prrmyr, "She told me you may have answers I am looking for...."

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "Yes. I am most humbled that Faywhen would take the time to even talk to me little alone herald your coming."

Melyda says in prrmyr, "Yes, well.....I'm sure faywen has her reasons. what they are remains to be seen."

Nieyobee asks in prrmyr, "You do not trust her?"

Melyda shakes her head.

Melyda says in prrmyr, "No, I don't..."

Nieyobee cocks her head looking at Melyda carefully and curiously.

Nieyobee starts following Melyda.

Nieyobee asks in prrmyr, "We can speak here or where you wish... I perfer outside. What is it you wish to know?"

Melyda says in prrmyr, "Let us go outside then"

Melyda nods.

Melyda leads the way down and then south out through the entrance of the Lion and Dagger Inn. Nieyobee follows quietly, for now.


Melyda says in prrmyr, "Will this do, or do you wish somewhere more quiet"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "This is fine"

Melyda nods slightly, sitting on the edge of the fountain.

Melyda says in prrmyr, "What has faywhen told you"

Nieyobee's tail twitches back and forth. Her ears in constant motion, listening to the many sounds of this village. Her eyes close to small slits as she listens to Melyda.

Nieyobee asks in prrmyr, "I do not understand ...told me?"

Nieyobee seems confused

Melyda asks in prrmyr, "Wait...who are you? why would Faywhen send me to find you?"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "My name is Nieyobee. I am the keeper of the truth. One of the last of my race who remembers or who was taught to remember or fight for feedom."

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "Our fight for feedom <rather>"

Melyda asks in prrmyr, "The keeper of truth for all? who made you such?"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "There has always been one since that day."

Melyda says in prrmyr, "Since what day?"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "The different clans fearing their splitting up and dispersal over the realms would cause an irradication of our heritage our past. So there has always been a prevayour of the past. From the begining of our freedom. That day."

Nieyobee purrs contentedly.

Melyda asks in prrmyr, "What day?"

Nieyobee licks her other paw and slides it down her side. This seems almost a reflexsive action.

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "The day of the great battle. The day we where set free and the mage dissappeared."

Melyda nods slightly.

Melyda says in prrmyr, "I have heard some prrmyr lore, tales of the past"

Nieyobee eyes grow troubled and she whispers to you 'Faywhen was not always as she is now, so...tormented.

Melyda frowns.

Melyda says in prrmyr, "She certainly wears it well now...passing it along to others"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "She can't help that. It is who she has become because of the choice she made so very long ago."

Melyda asks in prrmyr, "What choice?"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "Long before the great wars between the gods and this world was changed. Back when there walked gods that walk no more Faywhen was mortal like you and I. She felt fear and love and pain in her flesh the same way you and I feel it. We where an owned peoples then. Much like the tales I've heard of the pixies but with a much worse fate. Forgive me..do you mind if I eat and drink something?"

Melyda says in prrmyr, "Not at all"

Nieyobee sighs.
Nieyobee utters, 'qfzahz xahzf'

Melyda says in prrmyr, "Please, refresh yourself as needed"

Nieyobee drinks water from a waterbag.

Nieyobee eats a ball of pressed, dried fruit.

Nieyobee wipes a little dried fruit from her lips and continues.

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "Anyway many generations ago even many generations for elf kind...When we where owned..no a better word would be created. When we where created by the mage...he used us for the soul perpose of constructing the perfect race"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "perfect for fighting"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "and killing"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "And to this end he pitted the different prides, or as you humans would say 'clans' 'packs' against one another starving one group while over feeding the other so that the prides would fight and kill each other only the strongest and most cleverest of our kind survived. And these he would breed and begin the process anew hundreds of years past brother killing brother mother sacrificing her children for her clan until we could no longer take it. We began to see the mage for what he was. Insane. And so it was agreed that a new pride would be formed the smartest of our people.."

Nieyobee grins.

Nieyobee asks in prrmyr, "Are you sure you wish to hear this?"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "I've never had a non prrmyr ask this before"

Melyda says in prrmyr, "Please, go on.....I am assuming there was a reason she sent me here"

Nieyobee asks in prrmyr, "Alright...You aren't bored?"

Melyda shakes her head.

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "You must understand we did not know any better"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "The kill was prized above all else"

Melyda nods slightly.

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "It was the animalistic part of our being. But there was one who knew we would always be used if we did not control our own destany or fate"

Melyda says in prrmyr, "You speak of Faywhen"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "She drew the prides together in secret and a plan was formed. Yes it was the mortal Faywhen. She and the few from each pride who where smart enough to learn writing petitioned the mage to let them become stronger by learning his ways."

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "The ways of magic"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "And so they studied and planned and plotted"

Nieyobee stops her story and closes her eyes and then opens them.

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "From here accounts of what happened are...confussing and I will tell you what i know or what I've been told"

Melyda asks in prrmyr, "Is this painful to speak of?"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "Faywhen was a great hero. She was good pure untainted. Do you understand?"

Melyda says in prrmyr, "She was vastly different from now, you mean"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "She chose to pay the price for the entire race for our bid for freedom. but I get ahead of myself. On the day so it is told the peoples rose up denouncing the mage as insane and no longer fit to control us. One such story says that we as a people ripped him from limb to limb and where freed. But I have read and heard tales that this mage was too powerful to dies that easily. It is said..."

Melyda asks in prrmyr, "What happened to him then"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "It is said that Faywhen learned not only the ways of the mage but of wild magics. Vastly powerful and sometimes uncontrollable magics. And that on that day she battled him one on one his magics clashing with hers."

Melyda says in prrmyr, "a dangerous combination"

Melyda nods.

Nieyobee nods.

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "Yes,"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "As i was saying a strange mixture structured magics against wild unruled magics"

Melyda nods.

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "Faywhen was strong and pure of heart. Much like the one you call Aiela. She respected life and the importance there in and she felt that we had to be free in order to stop the killing.""

Melyda says in prrmyr, "I find it hard to believe Aiela and Faywhen were ever that similar"

Nieyobee eyes flash angrily and she crosses her arms and mutters 'You want to hear the story or not?'

Melyda opens her mouth, then shuts it and nods.

Melyda says in prrmyr, "You're right, I apologize. please continue"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "There was a great battle. One that went on for days. She fought him with everything she had and when she was at her end called on the powers that be to help her. She felt that her cause was just and true and she refused to believe that her people should suffer any more or be killed by each other. Here's the part that was not preserved correctly..this is merily forgotten myth and ledgend I'm not even sure if it's true after this point..."

Melyda nods.

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "Finally in a last ditched effort to do away with the mage, the other kat's gave her all their energy. The ones that studies with her. She used all of the magic they had and she had left and combined them and threw it at him. And true to the whims of fate the mage did the same. He was after all mortal and he too was becoming tired from the battle, this is when the people tore him to shreds. Or so the story goes. Some say that his parts have been spread and hidden so that he might never be put back together."

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "But that was only one part of what went on."

Melyda nods.

Melyda listens intently.

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "There was a violent explosion. Some will tell you that this is when the mage was lost, consumed by the essance and magnitude of magics released. They say that Faywhen paid a great cost that day. She was consumed by the magics but far worse the fighting emotions within her changed her to what she is. You see on one hand it is said that faywhen felt great excitment and pride at trying to free her people happiness. On the other she felt fear and dread and pain at fighting the mage which for so many generations had been forbidden. And I'm sure being consumed by magic is in itself very painful"

Nieyobee shivers uncomfortably.

Melyda nods.

Melyda says in prrmyr, "I'm sure it is....."

Melyda says in prrmyr, "What do you think of faywhen as she is now"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "Somewhere there are old ancient pictographs of this day. Supposidly one of the gods, whos name has been lost with time, felt pitty for her. Saw that as a mortal her heart had been true and gave her the means to become immortal. My people according to ledgond where scattered all over the realms. Most have forgotten who they are. She has become totally consumed by that day. She is raw emotions. She is not what she was. I think you know her as the goddess of emotions."

Nieyobee's mouth looks humorous as she makes her mouth form words in such a strange language.

Melyda says in common, "What do you think of her now"

Melyda says in prrmyr, "And speak whichever language you are most comfortable with"

Nieyobee says in common, "You are right not to trust her. I pitty her. How sad to sacrifice herself to be eternally caught up in such a torturous thing"

Melyda asks in prrmyr, "Does she remember anything about how she came to be?"

Nieyobee says in common, "Think about what being totally consummed by raw emotions would do to your mental state and think about the fact that Faywhen has been that way for hundreds of years. I'm...I am not sure. I know she gets very angry when she finds one of our own who does not remember her. But I am unclear as to what she does or doesn't remember. She was not always such a large ball of chaos"

Melyda says in prrmyr, "I have trouble believing she would remember all her own trouble and strife and find such pleaure in causing it upon others"

Nieyobee says in common, "I do not know her that well. She has followed me, talked to me and such mostly she watches me from a distance."

Melyda says in prrmyr, "Why would she send me to speak to you"

Nieyobee says in common, "Sometimes I think she weeps other times I think she's going to kill me and still other times I think she's happy that I remember"

Nieyobee says in common, "I do not know."

Melyda says in prrmyr, "She said you were the keeper of Truths...is that just for the prrmyr or for all"

Nieyobee asks in common, "Does she know you don't trust her?"

Melyda snorts derisively.

Melyda says in prrmyr, "She knows..."

Nieyobee says in common, "Perhaps some part of her is pained that you dislike her. That in some deep recess of her mind she does remember what she once was. I've heard rummors that she is going to reconstruct the gardens where we once killed each other for the pleasure of our master the mage."

Melyda says in prrmyr, "It did not pain her when she poisoned me and my friends. used her devices to take our blood for her own uses"

Nieyobee ear twitches and she looks fearful at what you say.

Melyda asks in prrmyr, "Gardens?"

Melyda quirks an eyebrow.

Nieyobee looks like she has thought of something completely distasteful to her.

Melyda says in prrmyr, "She mentioned gardens...said she had some work to do on her gardens"

Nieyobee says in common, "Yes when to waring prides could not win they where placed in the gardens to fight. The mage would watch from his tower, time them count deaths and make notes on how to improve us"

Nieyobee growls a low, throaty growl.

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "You don't know what it was like."

Melyda shakes her head.

Melyda says in prrmyr, "No, I don't.....the thought of hunting another is distasteful enough..."

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "It saddens me that the representitive of our people has caused the same kind of pain and suffering that the mage once inflicted on us. I truely believe that if she where in her right mind she would not do those things."

Nieyobee sighs.

Nieyobee looks deeply saddened by thoughts of Faywhen.

Melyda says in prrmyr, "She has not been in her right mind for quite some time then"

Melyda says in prrmyr, "And she is not getting better"

Melyda snickers softly.

Melyda says in prrmyr, "One moment she is appearing to me in the form of a former love, then in the shape of my daughter, taunting me.....the next moment she claims to be giving me information to help. and she wonders why I do not trust her"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "No I wouldn't think being beset by constant emotional wars of pain and pleasure..happiness and saddness would do much for anyones mental state. She can shape change?"

Nieyobee eyes grow even bigger and more fearful.

Melyda says in prrmyr, "It seems to cause her great effort, but she can"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "Then perhaps it IS too late."

Nieyobee shakes her head sadly

Nieyobee asks in prrmyr, "May I ask why you seek such information about our past?"

Melyda says in prrmyr, "I didn't, not that I knew of..."

Melyda says in prrmyr, "Faywhen said you were the keeper of truth"

Melyda says in prrmyr, "I was hoping you could help me determine what the truth is"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "The truth being that she was once a very pure and good being. Yes. I suppose that is a truth most wouldn't believe. I know that she sometimes tells the truth now but it is hard to determin when she is sane and when she is not."

Melyda nods.

Melyda says in prrmyr, "What she once was has little impact on what she is now..."

Nieyobee asks in prrmyr, "What are you seeking that she thinks you need to know her past?"

Nieyobee grins.

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "You sound like her."

Melyda shivers uncomfortably.

Melyda says in prrmyr, "Dont' say that..."

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "Who you are is not who you will be"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "And who you will be is never what you will be"

Melyda says in prrmyr, "She was giving me information on a former love who has fallen into Cauchemar's clutches"

Nieyobee shakes her head in confussion as if she doesn't get such babble.

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "I see."

Melyda says in prrmyr, "in essence she was trying to convince me that it is hopeless and to give up all hope of freeing him"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "I only know a few small stories about him. He is an ancient god. and something about nightmares that's it."

Melyda nods.

Nieyobee asks in prrmyr, "Did she seem to mean it?"

Melyda says in prrmyr, "She did"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "Then perhaps you should take her at her word."

Nieyobee shrugs.

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "I do not know"

Melyda says in prrmyr, "But then she seemed to mean it when she promised to help free me from the pain, and slipped one of her clockwork automatons onto my neck"

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "I only know what I've been told."

Nieyobee blinks.

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "automatons...you jest..only the mage knew how to create automatons"

Melyda quirks an eyebrow.

Nieyobee says in prrmyr, "they are banned forbidden"

Melyda says in prrmyr, "she is quite proud of her clockwork creations"

Nieyobee eyes go wide.

Nieyobee exclaims in prrmyr, "You lie! Faywhen would never bring back such evilness. Not having suffered from them herself!"

Nieyobee storms off towards the inn.
