Madoc's Sanctuary

[Inkshade]

Not too far off from the devestation of Amaldar sat a monastery seemingly unphased to the chaos not far off. The residents including both priests and travelers passing through were preparing for the injured coming to them from Amaldar.

Up in one of the towers of the medical wing, a boy stares out at the sky towards Amaldar "Wow....We're not even as high up as we could be and I still can see the smoke....Uncle and the others have their hands full...I only wish I was better at healing...I'm worried our little pal might get shoved under the bed with all the commotion."


Devyn looks back at the bed behind him, and at his cousin who stared at him with confusion.

She looks down at the boy in the bed she was standing by "They would....put him under a bed? For what purpose? I will not let happen!"


The girl growls, and stands more protectively over the unconcious boy.

"Oh, no no no. Sorry Ruth, not litterally. That means he might not get all the attention he needs." Devyn says

"Oh." Ruth doesn't relax much "Father will not let that happen. He watches all equally." she crosses her arms

"Yeah, he is good at that. I supose the little fella' hasn't even changed much since he was brough to us too...so if he remains stable he should be ok." Devyn says as he looks out the window "Looks like the first group is here! all civilians by the look of it...well mostly." he grins "Hey, that's Kyrzon and Sukya!...Huh, and that guy looks a bit like our uncle Kurok...wonder if he's Zog then..."

Ruth was tense and growling with anger "I smell another dragon..."

"Easy! If that is our cusin then you would his mom is kinda' like you. Don't worry they're only here to visit." Devyn says, to little effect because Ruth still bounded down the hall and out a window. "Gaaah...darn it..." he looks at the boy again "Hang tight little man...we'll be back...with friends too!" he says before chasing after Ruth.

---morning---

"That's...not normal..." Devyn says, watching the boy he and Ruth had been with right before the injured from Amuldar had come.

Ruth was growling "What is it?" she asks

"I...don't know...don't touch it." Devyn says. he looks back over his shoulder "UNCLE MADOC!" he calls.

Madoc appears behind Devyn, looking very concerned "What is it, do you feel strange?"

"No...look." Devyn says and points to the yellow orb hovering over the boy. "It just...came through the window and sat there..."

[Dynamax]

The orb begins to pulse.

"Madoc, I am in need of your assistence at this present time." Gamuldar's voice was heard. "Your mother and Vito are here too, we are at Ildor's castle. I ask that you come...please. We need your gifts my boy."

[Inkshade]

Madoc relaxes "It's ok kids, it's Gamuldar's."

"What does he want with the kid?" Devyn asks

"I think he was trying to contact me." Madoc says "I need to run out, be careful." he says and opens a portal.

"Father..." Ruth says

"It's ok my love I'll be back soon." Madoc says before leaving

[Dynamax]

"Do not worry Ruth. He will be fine." Gamuldar's message orb says before fading into nothing.

[Inkshade]

Ruth frowns and sits next to the boy.

"It'll be alright Ruth..." Devyn says

"But even father can't heal him...and now he's gone so what if he get's worse..." Ruth frowns "So little...." she sas brushing the hair out of his face.

[Inkshade]

Madoc's portal reopens and he steps through "Kid, we have a guest. Gamuladr would like tou see your young friend."

[Dynamax]

"Alright, where is this boy?" Gamuldar steps through. "Oh, right here. Sorry, brain is still aching. the price of being the Avatar of Wisdom is high sometimes." He rubs his temples. "Hi Ruth. Told you he'd be fine."

[Inkshade]

Ruth nods. she stands and moves away from the boy.

"Here he is." Madoc says "We found him a few hours before the attack. He's been completely non-responsive."

The boy appeared to be quite young, maybe 9 or 10. he had blonde hair and was wearing a blueish robe. he was breathing and seemed fine other than he would not wake up.

[Dynamax]

"Oh my." Gamuldar says. "He does seem weak...no curses, no magic binding. It's physical I think."

[Inkshade]

"One could say that..." Li says from behind them.

Ruth stands up and growls at Li. she starts to rapidly stab at him with her lance, but it just goes through his body.

"Ruth!" Devyn grabs onto her and tries to hold her back as she jabs at Li and growls.

Li, completely unphased looks at the boy "How curious...I came as soon as I felt you here Gamuldar...and I'm glad I did."

[Dynamax]

"Am i missing something? Or are attempted impalings the regional passtime?" Gamuldar asks.

[Inkshade]

"She's been doing that to me all day. Doesn't want me taking anyone here." Li sighs

"So, what is it Li?" Madoc asks

"Wrotten timing..." Li says "I supose I could fix it and be fine...he wasn't suposed to die anyways..." he taps his scythe on the ground and disappears.

Moments later a soft groan comes from the boy. his eyes open very slightly.

Ruth and Devyn lean forward and look at him.

"Is...this it...am I dead now?" the boy whispers.

[Dynamax]

"I see. The flaws of being the shepard of the departed huh?" Gamuldar says before looking at the young man. "Seems fine. He's completely cured. Nice job there Li."

[Inkshade]

Madoc nods and looks at the boy "No...you're not dead my child. You're in a monastery. My daughter and nephew found you outside-"

"WHAT?!" the boy jolts up. and looks around "GAMULDAR? What the..." he looks at Madoc, and then Devyn and Ruth who were very confused. He then sees himself in a mirror and touches his face "What the hell is this?!" he realizes his voice was a childs and frowns "How did...why am I a...I SHOULD BE DEAD!" he shouts, obviously a bit upset that he wasn't for some reason.
