Mimus flew in desperation, searching wildly across Sosaria, each passing day the bird felt the connection slipping. His mistress's bond was slowly eroding away highlighting her gradual loss of darkness within her.

He was frantic and dipped down in a frenzy seeing Narcissa's white ferret scurrying in front of her house. The two animals communed for a moment the white ferret twitching its nose in understanding and headed off to find Narcissa. Mimus was most upset his golden eyes loosing thier shine as time drew closer....

Mimus had not suceeded in finding Xandria as he circled the tieflings large home but her servant was about tending the plants. He landed upon a dead tree branch and squawked in agitation at the servant. Xandy! Xandy! find Xandy! Shade...sick! The servant tilted its head at the familiar voice and recognizing Mimus ran inside the house to contact the long gone Mistress of the house, who even now journeyed on her way home.

Mimus exhausted returned to Shades home to find her once more dressed in white humming to herself. He alighted on the back of her chair and began nuzzling the side of her neck. Desperately hoping he could break her trance. She began to cough loudly, bending over her humming stopped mid-tune and a bright light shot out of her eyes and mouth this time. It had worsened.

This time her eyes did not return to their normal green, just white orbs glowing in the sockets they occupied. She rose and spoke in a soft voice. Spawn of evil why do you invade my home! Mimus squawked at her, Mimus Mimus! For a moment her eyes flashed green and she yelled at the bird, Mimus go! Go now, get away from me before its to late I cant trust myself!

The bird looked at her his eye wide and sad. Mimus never leaves Shade.. and he stood before her not moving refusing to budge. The power of light was growing in her, swelling as she tried to contain it. PLEASE MIMUS GO! Her voice broke on a sob and then she went silent.

He new his death was near even before the Holy Light hit him. Exploding forth her eyes going white once more. A sad cry came from Shades beloved bird....Pretty..Lady...

The house was quiet, the bird a dead mass of black feathers. Her eyes were once more green and focused quickly on his huddled shape. No! No she shrieked. She crawled forward and huddled over the dead Mimus the first tears she had cried in earnest, in a long time. She pulled the still warm body close and stared at the silent golden eyes. My beloved Shade whispered to him and kissed the dead birds head. How could I...

I cant trust myself, I must be contained, but first I must take Mimus to Barl perhaps he can raise him...

She rose and recalled quickly to Barls home leaving a note next to the bird begging for his help in reviving Mimus. Then with haste she tried to think of someone who could contain her, who could keep her locked up until a cure could be found.

Clutching a black feather she turned her white glowing eyes towards the City of Umbra..
