[Mallory Ventrue]

“Are you okay m’love”… Gailan’s voice came through to Mallory as she laid shivering in her bed. She closed her eyes and replied to him...”I am fine… just another dream…” Although they were miles apart, the sound of his voice and the feeling of his loving arms surrounding her calmed her heart. She thought she had lost him, but time had brought them together again, and their connection was stronger than it ever had been. She was thankful for his strength, and knew that had it not been for him at her side she never would have been able to contact Molly in the way she did.

Mallory had been asked to help with the Faire in Zento, and while she was there doing some fortune tellings, she was approached by Lord Reckoning and a few other members of the House of the Gauntlet. They were seeking answers to the plight of their leader and friend, Lady Khaldel. Mallory tried all she could to answer their questions, but the confusion of the faire, as well as the frustration of Lord Reckoning, left her sensing little. She caught the eye of one of the women standing close by and Mallory sensed a strong light illuminating from her. She bade the woman to come and sit, closing her eyes she took the woman’s hand in hers and concentrated as much as she could. She could feel that she was being beckoned to Molly, but again the confusion of the faire forced her mind to wander. She asked if she would be able to come to them later in the evening, where there would be more solitude and Mallory would be more able to concentrate. She was told she would be most welcomed and with a slight smile and nod she bid them all a farewell.

Mallory had made plans to meet Gailan after his meeting in Sanctus, and she hoped he would not mind that once again their plans would be altered. As she sat in Sanctus reading a book on the communication with spirits, she again felt the wave of warmth surround her and she smiled slightly as Gailan entered the room. She marked her place in the book and quickly placed it within her satchel and looked up as Gailan bent down to place a soft kiss upon her cheek. “Are you ready to go m’love?” Gailan asked her with a slight smile upon his face. Mallory sighed softly and smiled as she quietly informed him of the change in plans. With a slight nod he agreed that they were very much needed, and agreed to accompany her to the House of the: lo Gauntlet. As they arrived at the house they were welcomed by Tai Kwan Leap, but there was something within the house that made Mallory feel very uneasy. She looked up and Gailan, and a slight nod to her let her know that he also sensed it. She noticed Tai holding a strange bundle and she knelt down to assist him, only to have him growl at her. When her hands touched the bundle she instantly was overcome by the evil it contained and she thrust it away from her. She was led away up to the bedroom, leaving Rryn and Tai in the foreroom.

As Mallory entered the room she gasped slightly to see her friend in the frozen state she was in. She took Molly’s hand and in the next few hours she was shown things… a man, whom she was later told she said the name Azreal… there was a second figure, cloaked and Mallory was not shown a face… she was shown several shrines with Molly in the middle… she was shown a ritual she believed was a piece to the puzzle of bringing Molly back to them… She relayed all of this to Gailan and Will, who were both standing close by. They discussed what these things meant, and Mallory was sure there were still some pieces that were missing… perhaps the druids would know more. Will assured Mallory and Gailan that their help was appreciated, and Mallory promised to pass along the information, and continue to meditate upon in. They left Will and Rryn and returned to Sanctus to find Talon, and they quickly filled him in on the latest information. He seemed pleased and set them forth on the task of finding out more information regarding the ceremony. Mallory felt that each virtue was to be represented by a person that truly followed it, but that there was also to be diversity. This would bring together those that they least expected. She had her own ideas, but she was sure that the Virtues would guide those to her that were needed. After discussing this further with Talon, Gailan and James she felt even more led to search the Virtues for the answers. She bid goodnight to Gailan and went to meditate… (to be continued)
