 [[culture:Loxodon]] are a rare sight indeed, Some would say a legend. People from [[planes:mount_celestia|Celestia]], Scholars of the omens that plague the world's future. Ever seeking enlightenment until interrupted by the frightful woes of the universe. Seeing one could be a happy coincidence, But most of the time it spells dark times for mortals. This one, at least for the moment seems rather relaxed as he stuffs another sweet treat between his tusks. \\ [[culture:Loxodon]] are a rare sight indeed, Some would say a legend.

 By far the most capable looking among the group, A [[culture:Fighter]] clade in heavy armor and weaponry. Enough to scare off the lesser foes he has surly encountered on many a long journey. He clutches a small beaded trinket as his gloom stained face cracks a solemn smile, to who? the voices in his head perhaps as he battles relentlessly with them in his mind about his choices, his moments, thing he could have done differently if given the opportunity. if not for his companions walking alongside he would surely drift off the road in his daydream, into the dark taiga forest. a [[culture:elf|Drow]] upon the surface is curious enough, But in these lands //Drow// have it easier than some. \\ By far the most capable looking among the group, A [[culture:Fighter]] clade in heavy armor and weaponry.

-Lastly in the march was a woman larger than life. Standing easily twice as tall as even the Loxodon and built like a one woman army. The markings of a [[culture:giant|Goliath]] but the horns and tail of a [[culture:Tiefling]], A Rare monstrous race known as an //Oni// yet not the savage nature of one, or at least it was well hidden. Though mistaken as one her true nature would not be revealed to much later in this adventure. Her dull red skin draped with a sea of wild ash black hair. Wearing very little as most barbarians would and a meanacing weapon sheathed. Its easy to imagine a swing of it could topple castle walls.+Lastly in the march was a woman larger than life.

 On the horizon, just before noon comes a change. more defined shapes of buildings and evidence of saturated travel on the roads signaled they had almost reached their destination. The town of [[town:Grovistide]], a small town with its roots in farming and hunting. Quite and more isolated than most. You have to go out of your way to walk //Grovistide's// streets. Some retired adventures come here for retirement and others come to get away from the horrors that plague a busy life. Though the town is not without its quirks. stories of //Fey// influence stretch back for decades, Strange patters, Odd events and even sightings. These stories have gotten much more numerous over the last few months...and more violet with word of missing children and stolen ego. A commission was put out to investigate and so our party arrive, Though none of them are hear for the //Guild//. \\ On the horizon, just before noon comes a change. more defined shapes of buildings and evidence of saturated travel on the roads signaled they had almost reached their destination.

 Anaise did. as it happened //Caligos// used a hold person spell scroll to paralyze //Seyeto//, and in the few seconds of casting the spell Raishin had let loose another inferno of divine blue flames. Engulfing the leader of //Black Albertross// the man Raishin had pinned all her hatred on.

-**Still In Progress of Writing**+The Blue flames burned continuously around the theatre but they did not spread. easy enough to avoid. With things becoming quite //Smoker// rushed backstage to the statue of his father Trigger. \\  
 +The party got a moment to breath and look around, things were dark and quiet. It was sure that the entire city of not the entire nation of Folklora fell with the death of //Oleander//. An entire nation snuffed with a few quick actions. \\ 
 +//Rudy// would take the opportunity to try and harvest some parts from an Arch-Fey but much to his disappointment the body of //Oleander// was slowly disintegrating like a plant in fire. Even if anything was plucked it would wilt and turn to nothing in a matter of minuets. \\ 
 +//Tami// was speechless, weather out of the acts the party had just committed or her own in-action to prevent it from happening.
  
 +Smoker would find the life life statue of Trigger backstage, What it was doing here? what //Oleander// was planning with Trigger? those answers die with the petal dragon. But Smoker seemed less concerned with the why and how and more so with the moment. \\
 +Trigger was hunched over, on one Knee in this statue form. Smoker had already assumed correctly as he had seen it many times before that this was trigger in some sort of petrified state. \\
 +Looking closer Triger resembled the pose of being stabbed and sure enough there was a small blade slightly impaled into his chest, A Blade belonging to a dagger or knife of some sort. \\
 +Right away he knew, Pulling out the Bladeless hilt of the //Fang of Thomas// he had obtained from the Hag Skabatha's lair and fitted it to the blade, perfect flush fit, and then removed the completed dagger from the statue. \\
 +As he did the stone began to rumble and crack, falling away to reveal Trigger as he was, A Large well built Leoin Tiger man.
  
 +Trigger embraced Smoker with little hesitation, //"My Boy!, You did it Smoker! you did it!"// \\
 +Smoker had so many questions, so much pent up emotion however when it came down to the moment all he could do was embrace his father and savour the moment together. \\
 +Trigger would hold Smoker close as he told him of what happened. //"Smoker, I am sorry, I did not want to leave so suddenly, but my past caught up with me suddenly and you were in danger. I had to leave, But i knew you were strong, and I knew you would come to find me, And i knew that on that journey you would become stronger still. You are going to be alright Smoker, you have proven that today."// \\
 +The words began to rasped towards the end, as they leaned back to see Triger had begun to rapidly age. \\
 +//"Ah it seems the years are catching up to me all at once."// \\
  
 +The two of them shared some small words, it seemed just the act that they had found each other was all the closure Smoker needed. Watching as Trigger quickly aged, he would soon be dust. a few more words and questions before Trigger clasp Smoker's hand and patted the Fang of Thomas. \\
 +//"Oh, Smoker..happy birthday by boy."// and with those last words he fell to a skeleton and soon to dust complete.
  
-==== Epilogue: Whisper's Silenced ====+As Smoker returned to the rest of the party they stood, looking around at the corpse of nations, for their actions today however small or grand have doomed the naïve nations of the Thorn Throne and Jardins to death. Restoring these parts of the Feywild to what it once was, chaos.
  
-**Still In Progress of Writing**+There was nothing left to do now, It was time to take the deal with Evelyn and go home.

 //It ends as it began, with a deal.// //It ends as it began, with a deal.//
 +
 +The party return to Evelyn's tower without Raishin, She was sure to catch up later and she did not need to be there for this. \\
 +The Adventure had put the adventures to the test, both Physically and mentally, and not everyone passed, Thundering Horns would be leaving behind six (6) comrades in death or departure. But even as the end was in sight not all were satisfied with the outcome.
 +
 +Evelyn would congratulate the party on the final performance, saying it was sure well worth that extra day. \\
 +//"Now, shall we finalise this deal?"// \\
 +The party had a few clauses to add. \\
 +Caligos demanded that Arno be freed from his deal, Evelyn shook her head, it was not her deal but Arno's own deal he made with her. If Caligos wanted him to back out of his own deal then he would have to ask him directly. \\
 +Anaise made sure Evelyn would not return to the Feywild to try her plan again. \\
 +But aside form that none of the other party members had anything to add. She hold out one of her clawed hands for a shake.
  
 You catch Evelyn's outstretched metal claw for a hand, your still not sure but you must, as you shake her hand. \\ You catch Evelyn's outstretched metal claw for a hand, your still not sure but you must, as you shake her hand. \\

 +Celebration quickly turns to rewards. As Promised the Prince is to fulfil the desires for the party, Including the others that were not part of the original deal. He Calls upon a small stage to appear within the main hall and steps up asking for the first one to join him in a dance to fulfil their desires. \\
 +at the end of their journey faced with almost anything they could ask for most of the party get cold feet, unable to let their desires be heard, which puts a bi damper on the Prince. \\
 +//"Commonnnnn! you have had years to think of what you may want, don't tell me right at the end your still have no ideas?!"// The prince pouted and tapped his foot impatiently.
