Stories of my brain

When they return to their chambers, Amara immediately goes to the bathing area, but Adaly goes to sit on the big armchair near the fireplace. “Livia, could you maybe stay? I will not see or hear anything, if anything happens just pinch my shoulder and I will stop the spell” Livia nods and joins her in the living room. She immediately tries to spy on Es-Vahelieth, but the spell doesn’t find its target.

So, she goes onto Es-Grenalieth. The spell taking her vision to the vision of Es-Grenalieth who is speaking with a handsome young man who is saying “So, Es-Vahelieth is directly disobeying Ilhoketh” Es-Grenalieth chuckles a bit “Now it would be fun to see Es-Vahelieth being roaster over a low fire for the coming few centuries, but for now this is annoying. His actions are intervening with our plans. We need Adaly” She sighs before continuing “Contact the idiot squad, maybe they know more. Also give Jasmin the green light, her plan sounds viable.”

The man nods in understanding and does a small bow before leaving her alone. She goes to sit on a bench and starts using senses that Adaly cannot pick up in the spell.

Adaly thinks that the idiot squad is the ebony guard, so she switches to her brother. Valziar is chopping wood outside of the cabin that she saw him earlier at, so Adaly switches to her sister.

Yigadel is in Vasovik at the alchemist guild “Thank you, Amara will pay you once she is back” Yigadel says while Adaly can see the man behind the cash register is under some spell and replies “Of course, anything for friends of Amara”. Yigadel leaves the alchemist guild and walks back towards an inn. Adaly recognizes the room where she spied on her earlier. Yigadel starts playing with her dagger, so Adaly switches the vision, but no other information can be gleaned from the visions. Just more chores that Valziar is doing and Es-Grenalieth appears to be staring in front of herself.

Adaly comes back to her own senses and Livia is staring at her “Thank you” Adaly smiles at her and Livia smiles back “No problem, so any interesting information?”. Adaly rubs her head “Shall we join Amara in the bath? I think she needs to hear” Livia just nods, and they go into the bath.

Adaly having no problem with nudity strips and joins Amara in the water. While Livia takes a few seconds before joining. Adaly already starts the informing part “Es-Vahelieth is in the prime material, so that might be problematic. Sadly I have not learned anything more yet. Es-Grenalieth is not happy with it, so let them fight about it. She does want me, not sure for what purpose, but also that is nothing new. Also some bad news, Yigadel got your potions of speed in Vasovik, and feels like she is setting a trap for us there.” “That bitch” Amara reacts, and Adaly nods in agreement.

Meanwhile Livia joins them in the water and Adaly notices the black liquid from Livia’s hair is leaking into the water. “What is up with that?” Adaly asks, changing the topic. Livia’s face flushes, before she replies “Don’t worry about that.” Amara moves closer, but Adaly gives her friend a glance that she has got this before Adaly continues asking.

“You can trust us Livia, we should know. What species are you?” Adaly asks with her kindest smile. Livia seems to still not wanting to answer “Just an elf” Adaly rolls her eyes and Amara now answers “Elves typically don’t have black gooey hair or black eyes” “Plus the infernal vibe you are giving off is something interesting” Adaly adds.

Livia looks nervously at Amara, because of that Adaly sends a quiet message to her ‘If you rather discuss in private, please join me at my chambers later’ Livia looks at her and smiles kindly ‘Maybe’ is the only thing she gets back. That is good enough and Adaly quickly changes the topic, and Amara seems to understand what she is doing and they talk about random other things. Livia gives Adaly a look of gratitude, and after about half an hour they leave and return to their chambers.

After about 10 minutes a knock is audible on Adaly’s door “Come in” she says while she continues brushing her hair. Livia enters quickly and closes the door behind herself. She goes to sit on the bed, clearly a bit unsure of herself. Adaly stands up and goes to sit next to her, kindly smiling grabbing her hands “You know you can tell me anything…” Adaly says and Livia sighs.

Livia looks up at her “It is not safe to tell you. I am truly sorry… But it is not a threat to the party. Sam would never let a risk like that be unknown to the party. Just trust me.” Adaly feels annoyed, but keeps her face kind and understanding “That is okay Livia, I just hope one day you will trust us or me enough to tell me” and she gives a gentle squeeze in Livia’s hand.

Livia clearly in conflict, wanting to tell but something holding her back “Thank you for being so understanding” Livia says while standing up. “Don’t mention it” Adaly smiles kindly while Livia leaves. As soon as she is alone she grabs a pillow, holds it in front of her face and groans into it. That fucking stupid naïve paladin, Adaly really thought she had manipulated that one enough to reveal all secrets. It must be a real good one though if she still manages to keep it a secret.

Sleep quickly finds her and in the morning she immediately sends a message to Jeremy. ‘Can you tell people that Es-Vahelieth in prime material plane, with couple dozen devils. Not sure what their plan is. Also others are here arguing.’ She quickly receives back ‘Information on others? Will inform order.  Was your Leviathan in Timbre? If so, order knows about it. Been petitioning Shiny Boys to handle it, unsuccessfully.’

Fuck, what is those Shiny boys kill the Leviathan, that could ruin their chances. But she cannot do anything about this right now so she just joins the rest at breakfast.
