sixteenth spell cast

[Piper, Peter, Galadriel]

Um... Cole is back. He's back and he doesn't remember me at all... I'm not really sure how I feel about this, yet. The last time he was here he didn't seem to remember how he'd felt about me. Maybe it's for the best, but it's still a weird feeling.

[Phoebe's decided to spend the day perusing the library. She's already found a copy of her book, as strange as that is, and has decided a romance novel might be just the thing to cure the strange feelings that have cropped up from Cole's reappearance. So she's curled up in a comfy chair with a copy of Dusk. She's a few chapters in and making a very confused face at the book]

They sparkle?! That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Do people actually like these books or is it supposed to be some sort of parody or something...

((ooc: I'm back. From outer space! Sorry about my little unannounced hiatus, there, but I'm back full force, now! And, yes, Phoebe is currently reading Twilight and disapproving mightily. Feel free to bother!!))

I got better mostly because I had to. Keeping our magic a secret could mean the difference between life and death.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

[She nods] I am the bearer of no few such secrets myself.

[kungfuwitch.livejournal.com]

[She smiles softly] It really is nice to talk with someone else who understands all of this.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

There are few outside of the White Council who would have such experiences in my own world.

[kungfuwitch.livejournal.com]

The White Council? I don't think you've told me about them.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

Have I not? I have made mention of members, at least, even if you did not know it. The White Council is a group of the wise I had formed to discuss and combat many of the dangers of our world. It has all but failed, yet still I hold most members in the highest regard. [The exception being Saruman. Who she didn't want to head it in the first place. This is why we always listen to Galadriel.]

[kungfuwitch.livejournal.com]

I think you've mentioned it, before, but I don't think you said the name. It sounds like something similar to the Elders of my world. How many were in the council?

rough estimate alert

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

There were seven, chiefly, though others among the wise were consulted. Two now reside in this castle.

[kungfuwitch.livejournal.com]

Yourself and Lord Elrond?

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

A safe assumption, given that we are the only two of my world here.

[kungfuwitch.livejournal.com]

I wasn't sure if that was the case. I haven't heard you talk about anyone else being here, but you never know.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

Rest assured, if ever more of my world arrive, you will hear of it. [You're a friend; it will be mentioned.]

[kungfuwitch.livejournal.com]

I'm torn. I'd like to say that I'd love to meet more people from your world... but it's not fair to wish that they get trapped here, too.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

Then our thoughts are much the same. There are those I miss greatly, yet I would not have them brought here for my sake.

[kungfuwitch.livejournal.com]

This feels like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario. I wish they were here so I could see them, but... [Yadda yadda yadda you can fill in the blanks]

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

I know. There few answers in this place and fewer that may be called simple.

[kungfuwitch.livejournal.com]

There's very little about this place that can be called simple. Some days I find it intriguing. Days like today? Not so much.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

You will endure, nevertheless. [And she sounds utterly certain about that.]

[kungfuwitch.livejournal.com]

I will. Especially with friends like you to help me. [She smiles warmly.]
