This is a general post to everybody in the forest from <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://p082.ezboard.com/funicornsvision ... <!--EZCODE LINK END-->. Decide for yourselves whether you wish to respond to it and be involved in the end of both plots going on or not.<br>

A small blue singbird arrived, looking very frightened, and seemed to debate whether it would not be safer to just keep on flying. But he took a deep breath, obviously feeling he had something too important to say to just fly off, <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>"The lady Gaeva has asked for everybody to gather at the Forest Village! We will be...safer..."</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> seeming to lose his courage again the bird hestated for a moment, then quickly continued in one single breath, <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>"Everybody has to come so we can be safe and fight together and be safe together and find a way to get our abilities back and no longer be sick! Bye!"</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br>
<br>
And with that the little bird took off, too relieved to have said his speech to check whether they had heard him, or waiting for any kind of reply.

After learning he cannot fight without his powers, Cartaos made his way to the river. His head was throbbing in pain, a pain he had not felt before, he could almost compare this pain to that which he went through in his past. He tried to think but the pain clouded his mind and brought forth the most painful of his memories. After this time he spent remembering all he wanted to forget he wish that someone anyone would appear and talk to him, he did not care who, he just needed someone to talk to, someone who would listen to him and not judge him for what he was or what he had done in his past. He sat up and looked sorrowfully into the river, the murky water glared back at him. He thought he saw a reflection, he turned but nothing. He went back to just sitting there until the pain overcame him and he had to lay down.<br>

It had been a long time since Kota had been out and about in the woods. Her shiny white coat had become thicker for the cooler weather and her bright blue eyes seemed to shiny more than ever. She was trodding along beside the river when she heard a voice speak from ahead. She stopped, staring through the trees, trying to find where it had come from. When she couldn't see, she approached the area slowly. She stopped on the edge of the river, watching the thing before her lay on the ground. She wasn't sure what it was, seeing as she was usually just used to seeing only other wolves and her prey. <br>
<br>
She titled her head to the side curiously, her ears twitching towards him, 'What is wrong? Are you hurt?' she asked through telepathy, seeing as she couldn't actually talk to anyone but that of her own kind.

Cartaos whirled around as he heard the voice in his head only to find a wolf. Finally someone else was here, but it seemed as though the wolf had not been infected yet. Cartaos slowly turned back to the water and stared downward sadly. Not knowing if this wolf would understand human speech he tried anyway.<br>
<br>
<!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;">"Hello my wolf brotheren, I'm not sure if you will understand this or not but since the moss appeared in the forest it has been taking people's powers, and I am one of the many afflicted. It seems to be passed through any contact, even telepathic, so now you probably have contracted the virus," Cartaos said aloud.</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br>
<br>
//Great the one thing I could talk to probably can't even speak human speech and has now contracted the virus, and probably won't be able to speak even telepathically in a few moments.// Cartaos thought to himself. He picked up a rock and threw it into the water.<br>
<br>
<!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;">"this freaking forest is going to kill me before my time, I can feel it,"</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> Cartaos muttered to himself.

Imzadi had stopped at the river for a drink and a bath and was on her way back to the den when she sensed others in the area. She reconiginzed one as Kota, her fellow pack member, but she did not reconigize the other. <br>
<br>
"Oh my." She said.

Cartaos looked up as the other wolf approached. //Great another person I probably won't be able to speak to...// He thought as he watched the wolf approach. Then out of no where this bird appeared and spoke as though it were a human. He thought for a moment on it, he could go to the village and be safe or he could stay here and face what was coming. He watched the bird fly away quickly and decided it would be best not to get into a group of people. It isn't as safe in a group when you aren't like the rest, when you don't care if another lives or dies, especially when you thirst for the blood of another. Cartaos then threw his staff in the water. Maybe this infection was trying to get people to start over, forget their past. It was doubtful but it may be what would be best. The hatred would always dwell within Cartaos no matter what he went through but he could start a new way of showing the hatred.<br>
<br>
<!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;">"Can either of you two canines speak as humans do or am I just going to be wasting my time trying to talk to you?,"</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> Cartaos asked. <!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;">"maybe I should just put a sign on me that reads infected do not touch in anyway shape or form unless you want to be infected also. It would after all keep voiceless creatures from losing their powers, assuming they could read."</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br>
<br>
Cartaos laughed and then grabbed a nearby log. He striped the moss from it and threw it into the river. He then began stripping the bark off of the wood. As he did this he waited patiently hoping that at least one of the two canines that had approached him would be able to speak without telepathy and contracting the infection.

OOC: Sorry about the wait<br>
<br>
Wolf tilted her head to the side as he spoke, "<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>My powers are my birth right. They are in my blood. I doubt them to be something I could loose so easily.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->" she said to him through her mind connection. She turned to the other wolf as she heard it approach and nodded to it, to show she recognized its arrival. The sudden sound of the twittering of a bird cause her to look up at it, her head tilted. When it was finished, she frowned, as only a wolf can. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Where the elves reside?</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->, she thought to herself.

[Imzadi83]

Imzadi raised a curious eyebrow at the bird. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Sickness? How many? Her fellow pack members?</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <br>
<br>
"Kota tell me, how bad is this sickness?" Internally Imzadi was debating what to do. She didn't like to get involved in mortal affairs, but she couldn't abandon her pack either, if they need her. As she waited for Kota's answer she watched Cartaos strip the log. What was he doing?<br>

Kota shrugged, "According to the human, its something transmitted through the brain. It aparently strips powers. I have heard nothing of this till now. You Imizadi?" she asked, her brow furrowed before turning to watch the odd antics of the creature before her.

"Me neither. I try not to get too involved in the affairs of mortals. They pass far too too quickly." <br>
<br>
"Perhaps you an enlighten us further?" She said to the creature who had not yet introduced himself.

<!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;">"I am sorry for my inconsiderate behavior, I am Cartaos, a person raised in the ways of a druid and then betrayed by them,"</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> Cartaos said smugly.<br>
<br>
He continued to pull the bark off of this small piece of wood until it was bare. He stood up and used the wood as a staff.<br>
<br>
<!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;">"Now then, what brings you two wolves to this neck of the woods... or river..?"</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> Cartaos asked.

Kota turned her head to the side, "I simply became tired of the boundries and perimiters of my home and decided to leave to venture through the woods. I hope there is nothing wrong with that." It was a rather stupid answer... (OOC: but thats the best I got in the middle of a writers block)

"I was thirsty." Imzadi anwsered simply. "What brought you here?"

<!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;">"It is not often wolves wander far from their territory,"</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> said Cartaos, <!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;">"As for my reason for being here, if you must know, I have come to throw away my life past and start anew."</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <br>
<br>
He walked over to the wolves, and tried gently pet them. He knew this might be dangerous so he approached slowly. As he started the new life, a life without his powers, without the magics that burdened him for so long and the horrors, his past faded from his mind, he could no longer remember why he turned evil in the first place. He could no longer remember why he had done anything up to this point, just that something happened and he started his life over, in a more posite fashion.<br>

Kota was a bit surprised at his approach but stepped forward towards his hand, sniffing it, and attempting to sense his motives. She was not used to being near anyone but of her own kind. Her brother had seen to her always being in eyesight because of her liking to disapear.

With his new staff in hand Cartaos heard a sound from far off, he could not believe this, it was coming from the fields, he did not say a work but disappeared into the darkness of the night.<br>
