"My deepest apologies your excellency. You can have the stone or you can hear the story, but you can't have both. I need to have something to keep for myself."

On Zanzibar:

Morgana looks at him strangely. "What an odd fellow," she mutters to herself.

Then she takes the stone and puts it into a pouch on her belt. "Very well, then I will abandon curiosity and use this to aid my people and my world in rebuilding from this catastrophe. For this, and other services of late, I will include your name on the List of Heroes. I will see that you are pardoned of all crimes for which you have been accused. And if you should chose to stay here... well, there are vacancies among the Octagonal Order which need filling."

On Zanzibar:

After excavating the rubble that was once a pair of towers on the Keep of the Octagonal Order, Sir Wil of the Order is found alive but gravely wounded, along with some of his archer troops. Also, the statue that was once Sir Devan is recovered.

Sir Morgana stares at the statue and sighs sadly. “Well, it seems that we needn’t bother to construct a statue to honor Sir Devan. He’ll be his own monument.”

TheRealMe walks up to Sir Morgana. “Pardon me, Lady. I have already handed over soul jar detectors to you and the rescue work seems largely done. I believe that you no longer require the services of me or of my associates. By your leave, we shall make ready to depart. We would welcome any of your folk who wished to join us.”

Sir Morgana shrugs absently. “Whatever. We have made ready a breeding pair of fire-breathing space chickens that you requested.”

TheRealMe bows. “Excellent! Thank you!” Then he uses his com-link. “Well, are all the Sereni-Tree folks ready to go home? Meet at the Octagonal Keep and we’ll take the fighter Nandi and the shuttle General Lee back up to orbit. I guess that the Lee must have been the shuttle Jazaf and Bride2 came down in, and…”

TheRealMe looks about at Wisp, Seryn, ScorpionRegent, and Snarky.

“Uh, hey, where ARE Jazaf and Bride2, anyway? Or LightMeDark? Or Xander/Ash?”

Wisp walked through the rubble Still in his exoskeleton, eventually reaching the room that housed all the techology he'd worked on. Stepping down he surveyed the room one last time and proceeded to remove a piece the armour covering the suits leg.

Underneath was a small pinpad which he typed a short code into. He then slowly turned and walked away to return to the group. Meanwhile In the Hangar a series of small explosive detonated throughout the wreckages.

They'd seen the power they held, They couldnt be allowed to experiment.

On Zanzibar:

As a series of exposions are heard in the Keep of the Octagonal Order, Sir Morgana's head jerks back to gaze in that direction, puzzled and concerned.

TheRealMe cringes, deducing instantly that the cause must be one of his associates. "ThankYouLadyWeWillBeOffNowHaveAGoodDay!" he blurts out as he attempts to quickly herd his people aboard the landing craft. He is in the pilot seat reving the engine as Wisp hops aboard to secure the hatch. Soon, the shuttle is airborne.

TheRealMe sighs in relief. "Okay, someone take a head count. Are we missing anybody?"

In the back of the shuttle, Deuce perks up. "Hey! Where is my Sensei? Where is Jazaf?"

"If my life were entirely my own then I would remain, yet I am compelled to serve my lady and to see the child she is soon to bear safe. When I can not say, but look for me again in times of need for I am drawn to this world and only death will prevent my return."

On the Shuttle:

"Ummmm... Yes Bride2, quite right. Jazaf... Where would he be?"

OOC: Safe or 13 or anyone, you may feel free to have any of your Zanzibar characters stow away on the shuttle, or have been taking a long nap inside before we took off.

JAZAF

"Nothing...."
Jazaf had scoured the books in the Study and poured over the research left behind by Alatariel. But to his dismay nothing shed any light on how to aid Alatariel from her recent fate. He entered Alatariel's room and pulled a chair beside her bed where she lay, comatose. Jazaf held her hand, on the verge of tears, as he spoke.
"I'm sorry. I should never have come back here. If I hadn't this would not have happened. What happened to you is my fault..."
The shuffling of feet interrupts Jazaf, he turns to see who it is. Chickenman Number 6 approaches carrying an object in his misshapen hand. "Milord, Lady Alatariel instructed one of our number to give you this if you had returned and something unfortunate had happened to her." Number 6 opened his hand to reveal a tiny sword, which Jazaf recognized as the missing piece to his pendant. Jazaf took the sword and thanked Number 6 who then promptly left the room.
Jazaf held the tiny charm and could feel something about it had been altered, then Jazaf heard a faint voice.
"Jazaf... Take care of this charm. After you left I was ordered to do things. Horrible acts against beings, sentient and non. It took a serious toll on me. It burdened my heart to torture and break the people who later became the servants of the Keep. One day it became too great and I thought I would go mad! So in order to preserve my sanity, I had my heart removed much like the way we removed our Souls. I hid my heart here...in the very charm you and I shared. Then I gave it to Number 32 and gave him an order. Should I ever become incapable of reclaiming my heart, I want you to have it and to know that I will be with you always."
Jazaf closed his eyes, put the tiny sword in the sheath around his neck and fused the two pieces together. He then went to Alatariel's side, brought her face close to his and shared their last kiss. Then he fell to his knees and wept.
***Sometime later
Jazaf finally reaches the Knights' Keep in time to watch the Gen. Lee Lift off.
"Well, crud."
Then he remembers his Commlink watch and quickly hails the Lee.
"Hey, wait! Don't leave me behind!"

TheRealMe twists the controls of the General Lee and drops the shuttle down next to Jazaf. He climbs aboard and TheRealMe takes off again before the now-hostile Octagonal Order can react.

"Welcome aboard!" TheRealMe says. "You know, Jazaf, I have been skimming this last thread. We could always take your Immortal friend up to the Sereni-Tree and see if Doctor SimonWho can fix her. Worst case, we can put her in cryo suspension."
