He'd lost his bearings in his mad dash through the forest and wasn't entirely sure which way to head to get back home. There was also the question of Drakon's poor mangled body. As he looked at the young mage again he did a quick double take. Fooled by the dim light in the forest and his own fears what he now saw was Drakon's blood-soaked and torn silver robes, wrapped around a sack of straw. Obviously a short term spell had run it's course revealing the true nature of the "corpse"
The boy was still out there... possibly naked, but hopefully not. He had two options, downhill or up - which way would the accident prone trainee mage gone? The stupid kid was useless at magic - but his father was a fair woodsman, he'd head downhill hoping for a stream. Borysko was torn, almost as much as Drakon's robe - return home as best he could, or continue his search?
Borysko gives up on the boy Mage and tries to find his way home through the darkening forest

A magpie. Although that may just be a product of my slight obsession with them. They are meant to be cursed birds, so perhaps that is not so appropriate. xD"
Steiffa leaves the silvering with Madame, which can be explained later.
So all’s good.
Later, feeling a mite better, maybe feeling mightier, Madame sets about…fixing things.
Fixing, which perhaps a student shouldn't witness.
Oh – a thought – all those potentially hazardous substances which the Scarlets removed, making room for locking Madame in: where’d they put it all? And, do you suppose, very likely, Scarlets not being mages themselves who should see the usefulness of it, that they haven’t secured the stuff (not with the same care Madame would). Just imagine the…mayhem, perhaps, say, if that magical hoard were found by someone who knows how to use it. And has a reason to."
But...but...but...Steiffa also brought a vial of the silvering for Madame...;)for a shapechanger's getaway, perhaps, after the aspirin...er, green willow soothes away the pain from all that nasty Scarlet torturing.""
Even when killed off by people who only put in three words. Is that pointless or is that really incredibly pointless?"
See?
A not-so-noble wolf, aha. I shall have to be firm with him. I think a missing arm should do it, eventually. -evil cackle-
Aw, teddy bears. <3 I like her already. =D"
Thank you for your advice on the keeping of miniature Masters. It's so hard to find books on the subject. -shakes head- Of course, I will be certain to provide him with many distractions in the form of hamster wheels and perhaps some mirrors and a cuttlefish? or is that for budgies? Still, it should keep his teeth in good condition, a necessary thing for a teeny Time Lord.
Hah. x3 Now I'm getting worried that they might not actually be regenerating him. After all, surely they would have advertised the bejeezus out of it...
If they play fast and loose with regeneration I shall have to hunt them down and eat them.
With chips."
Ah, but can anyone ever contain the universe conquering ambitions even of a mini-Master? Well, yes, perhaps if he burns off some excess energy running that hamster wheel. And keeping him on a healthful diet should help things, and other sentient folk. Just not tooooo much cake for the mini-Master, because the sugar-high will render the little tyrant truly unmanageable.

I’m…too much in shock to speak on this regeneration drama awaiting lucky You this coming Saturday night – which I’ll not see first-hand for all of one more year…if the 4th season isn’t entirely pre-empted by CBC Golf, of course! No more Davie Tennant?..."
(Lookie – found a Texters’ Dictionary – and tentatively trying this new language).
This Captain of the Scarlets, Dolphus, ‘Noble Wolf’, he’s not noble in a nice way.
And I took a small liberty naming Steiffa…from ‘Steiff’, famed farmers of those teddy bears.
Should prob’ly give her a button nose, if she survives her rat’s adventure getting to the old healer, then returning to Madame past those Scarlets, and past who knows what else might be…persisting inside the walls of a school for mages, hmm?"
Do you think the Doctor would mind you hijacking his TARDIS? x3
Still, he might not be in any shape to bicker, 'cause in Saturday's episode he began to regenerate. BUT THEY HAVEN'T TOLD US WHO INTO.
...Sorry, but it's making me twitchy. x3
I've become fond of the sergeant. xD -pets him- I shall keep him in a hamster cage with my miniature Master."
And you don’t write rubbish.
If only I had your skills when I was young.
Y’know…there is a way. Hijack the next roadside blue box I find. Go back. Hand over this thick sheaf, this Mage Hunting, and teach young me a thing or two.
…uhhh, I prob’ly won’t listen to me…remembering I thought I knew it all.
Nicely done with that Sergeant, too. I’d also figured he might aid our band of adventurers: Bory’s old army buddy from the wars, maybe. But your sergeant’s logic is perfect."
His name means 'divine bear', so he must be a goody. =3
I am becoming inexcusably lax in updating this story. xD I will try and be better about it, although I assume you'd prefer a slow, good branch to a quick, rubbish branch..."
Clever GoogleAdSense.x3"
I feel bad...
Yaa, the ambush WAS actually Calla rustling the bushes one side, Urska crashing thru them along the other, Bory snatching Drakon to safety whilst soldiers spin about. Even Khoreia wondering if it might be Vagari hunters.
I'm realizing you might have had it better.
No, no real ambush. Still, squads head out, ready to do battle. Bewitched Captain fires on his own, unrecognized in the trees. They, fired upon, in confusion logical during combat, return fire. We've seen enuf real world examples, eh?
Ewurghhh [as in feeling dread, and shuddering a bit]...lovesick captain's gotta eventually catch up with the light of his life, doesn't he? Khoreia, embittered by memory and hate, could be redeemed by love, couldn't she? And ironically by her badly handled spell that accidentally poses this opportunity before her, roses and chocs in his hand. But hate does nasty nasty things to a heart. And soldier-boy's been so...so dying to find his love again. Bad bad Khoreia!
...Ooo, kinda neat...GoogleAdsense is running Dr Who ads along this page (because of our posts)."
Well, she is a prisoner-how else can she get her amusement? xDDD"
Soldiers were not actually...um, attacked.
Bory, Urska, Calla - flanking those utterly confused soldiers - then managing to take Drakon while they spun about, looking for Vagari hunters.
They'll be embarrassed, and following their lovesick bewitched captain, but otherwise okay.
You've only just posted, so you have 24 hours for the edit.
Like what a...pain, on a walk in the country, you've painted naughty Khoreia."
I only watch that big show if they have a Doctor Who special. xDDD"
If you go to www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/episodes/2007 - call up the page for Time Crash - with Peter Davison AND Davie Tennant - which I didn't get t'see! - you'll see in the upper left corner the Tardis and a bandaged teddy bear alongside her. A BBC call for donations for children in need."
I'm quite glad I happen to live in the country where the Doctor was first created. xD
You can get Doctor Who in HMV, I believe..."
...That'd be Jamie. I gave many of the Doctor's companions nicknames. Rose, for example, is Pinky; The pair of them add up to Pinky and the Brain. =D
Jamie is Kilt Boy for obvious reasons; he wears a kilt. And very good he looks in it too.
I want to watch that episode now. Must ask for Doctor Who for my birthday."
And one of those books: "Toy Soldiers". Aliens, disguised as walking-talking teddy bears, kidnap earth kiddies, use 'em as soldiers in a very distant and bleak war.
Don't you just love Google? Wish it were around when I was in school!"
...-cough- Sorry.
Jon Pertwee was an awesome Doctor, I have to say. I didn't like him at first but I became fond of him later. x3
Although I must say I can't think of a Doctor Who episode involving bears. Tsk."
But, a little play now. Momentarily idle-me recalling a particular shire reeve named Hugh Beringar, from a tv adaptation of Cadfael. Likeable fellow played by Sean Pertwee, son of Jon Pertwee, the third Doctor Who. Quick googling about reveals exactly what I’d hoped for: more Bear’ness! Sean, in 2004, in A Bear’s Christmas Tale (un-house-trained bear amok in suburbia). And, according to IMDB, Jon as a boy played with the son of one gamekeeper, one AA Milne…um…of Winnie the Pooh fame.
Haarhaarrr!"
Sorry for the delay, btw. Busybusybusy. Still doing exams; but I'm nearly finished! Last one on Wednesday!"
