In a truly magnanimous and munificent gesture, the wiry ginger tom actually acknowledged the presence of the spirit.

Direct.. but that can work. Certainly doesn't waste time. She stands by Shadow, content for him to lead. This is his area. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 16,599 Likes: 16 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 16,599 Likes: 16 | The spirit seemed incensed, but turns towards Shadow and says in an angry tone "I burn." It might seem that was enough as the spirit stopped speaking for a moment, but then in a hiss of flame it continued "this night all things can mingle with all things. It is the way of things." The voice was less angry there for just a moment. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,775 Likes: 1 Member | | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,775 Likes: 1 | Shadow
The wiry ginger tom pondered his chances, weighed the spirit's words. On balance, careful speaking was still needed here.
"It is the way of things, you speak the truth. Our truce still holds? Has something roused your anger nearby?" | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 80,351 Likes: 75 Wizop Administrator | | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 80,351 Likes: 75 | Dizzy/Tiger-Lily
She watches, ready to react if necessary but happy to let Shadow lead. She can feel the tension. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 16,599 Likes: 16 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 16,599 Likes: 16 | The spirit crackled and hissed, though it made no answer immediately. It didn't stop staring at the cats though. Finally it said "the truce still stands. This is but one night." Silence continued "something has taken advantage of this night to make mayhem. Power is being shifted from some to another. Something greater this way comes." | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,775 Likes: 1 Member | | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,775 Likes: 1 | Shadow
He looked to his fellow cat, ears twitching. It sounded very much like what they had witnessed at the place the Burdens were taken.

She shared the glance with Shadow. It is a knowing glance. They both saw what happened in that large place the burdens were taken. They had disrupted that, this might give them another direction. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 16,599 Likes: 16 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 16,599 Likes: 16 | The spirit crackled and hissed. "What do I get for this information, guardian?" The spirit bargained. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,775 Likes: 1 Member | | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,775 Likes: 1 | Shadow
"Like for like. We will tell you of another place where the power transfer was taking place earlier." | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 16,599 Likes: 16 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 16,599 Likes: 16 | The spirit crackled and hissed "fair." It continued to pace and offered "I sense a disturbance in the hills, near the old hole in the ground." | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,775 Likes: 1 Member | | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,775 Likes: 1 | Shadow
Good enough to leap from, at least. He upheld his part of the bargain.
"We found one in the place where the hurt burdens are taken, a spirit drawing out life energy high up within. Sealing it away stopped it." | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 80,351 Likes: 75 Wizop Administrator | | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 80,351 Likes: 75 | Dizzy/Tiger-Lily
As Shadow converses, she thinks about the location they have been given - old hole in the ground in the hills. She tries to recollect if she has ever seen such a place. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 16,599 Likes: 16 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 16,599 Likes: 16 | Tiger doesn't remember a location like that, though she knows the direction to go. She had ridden there with her burden when they had found the dead boy.
The spirit crackled for a while. Eventually it said "dangerous, something dangerous is going on. Be aware guardian. It is by no means done. The mid of darkness will be the best time for things to cross over." | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,775 Likes: 1 Member | | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,775 Likes: 1 | Shadow
He bristled slightly at the implication that they might be lax in their vigilance or unaware of the time of easy crossing, but now was not the time to make an issue of it.

"So, to the woods then?"
She whispers to Shadow with a nose-tip to tail stretch in readiness. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 16,599 Likes: 16 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 16,599 Likes: 16 | If their ride to the woods earlier had been in indication, they might need the help of Tiger's burden.

"To the woods," he agreed. | | |
