			Eugene was in a very bad state. All his limbs were gone and Jaycey was describing him as a well cooked chicken nugget. I was thinking he looked more like a charcoal brick but it would not have been wise to say that. For a while I was more sorry for him than I was for myself and ended up handfeeding him grapes.

			Speaking of missing limbs, somehow Sau Rus had managed to obtain parts of dead bodies that were supposed to be cremated, and was able to use them to attach a hand to me and arms and legs to Eugene, once his skin had regenerated enough to take it. We had to make do with what we got and return them before we left. I was sure the hand I had belonged to a big muscly man who did hard labour but at least it was usable enough to hold a pen and write somewhat legibly so I could at last sit down and do the scribe notes. Hope I didnâ€™t miss anything important. Still, I wanted to go home and get my proper hand back.

			The others wanted to wait until the ship arrived along with our promised reward. We hadnâ€™t scored anything major in the way of loot since we had blown up the crystal and had lost the fight with the lizard folk so, if we were going to make a profit out of this, that was going to be our last chance. So we decided to wait. Wasnâ€™t really much for us to do though. Picked up a few more trinkets, absorbed some of their culture and spoke to some of the merchants. Spices were running low and it was soon apparent they were waiting for the same ship we were. I also found it interesting that many of those spices originated with the merfolk.. Certainly I had not heard of such a thing back home. I was considering obtaining samples until I found out how much that was going to cost me.

			Several days passed before a street urchin I had spoken to earlier, arrived to tell us that the ship, carrying the new spices, had been sighted. After I paid him, he dashed off, presumably to tell other people who had also promised payment for the same news. I had to smile.

			To get to the riverside docks, it was a long stairway down the cliff that the city was built on. Today it was very busy with people going both ways, including porters carrying goods. It was so packed, it was easier to fly down. Surprisingly, not many people were surprised.

			By the time I got there, there was what looked like an impromptu auction going on although it looked really chaotic. I just parked myself on a bollard, looking like, and dressed like, an oversized pixie, while watching the fun. Once it was all over Rayne was handed a bag full of coin. From the way she reacted it must have been heavier than expected.

			Once that was done, there wasnâ€™t much more we could do here, so we decided to arrange to go home. Of course we had to return those borrowed limbs we had so they could be cremated properly. I thought we were going back through the portal in the hole in the tree but, Felix said some big man had used the childrenâ€™s swing in the hole and broke part of the tree. So Felix had to do a very long construction ritual to make a willow arch portal. Once it was ready, he activated it and we went through.

			We appeared through a natural willow arch on a riverbank and it was drizzling with rain. Grizelda checked the plant life and assured us we were on Alusia â€“ our Alusia, not one of the nearby alternates. Rayne created a cloud for us to ride and it didnâ€™t take long to ascertain we were somewhere in North Carzala. The cloud seemed to know where we wanted to go, and an hour or so later, we landed in the Guildâ€™s landing area. It felt good to be home.

			But this isnâ€™t the end of the story as there was still the aftermath to deal with. Apart from getting my left hand regenerated, I had got off lightly. I did get a couple of visitors. First was a representative from the fighting school suggesting that, with my strength etc, whether or not I should start specialising in larger weapons, such as a hand and a half, and getting into the front line as I had the abilities to do that. Next was a representative from the Air College suggesting I should specialise in more damaging spells such as Thunderclap and Whirlwind Vortex. I told both of them Iâ€™ll take their arguments into consideration and make up my mind. Both of them had good points in their favour and I intended to take them seriously.

			Eugene had lost his necromancy college and was now a fire mage. So he was in an accelerated course in the college.

			For some reason Jaycey was arrested by the Seagate Guards after half a day of running around the city while screaming. It took them that long to catch her. She ended up spending the night in the â€˜drunk tankâ€™ before being released the next morning after paying a 10sp fine for being a â€˜public nuisanceâ€™. She told me later she had no recollection what caused that.

			Sau Rus had to go see a Michaline ex-warrior for something related to that â€˜glowy objectâ€™ we had encountered.

			Grizelda was told that she had outgrown Bear and needed a new, more powerful totem.

			Didnâ€™t hear anything about Rayne.

			I also did some investigation of whether or not there were such a thing as marine spices on Alusia but I found nothing. Even a flight down to Rangiwhero told me nothing of use.

			Finally, after deciding to concentrate on my magic and learning to swim, I headed back to my manor to resume my duties in the Western Kingdom.

			I was so sure that SauRus was in line for the Star of Alusia for single handedly saving the entire party but Rayne pointed out that Dragon helped. I argued that since Dragon hadnâ€™t signed the Guild Contract that he wasnâ€™t technically part of the party but Rayne said that he was included in the documentation so ... sorry SauRus, I tried.

			I guess what we had could be described as a pyrrhic victory. Sure, we had lost dearly, losing our Greaters and Lessers and most of our buffs. Granted some of them could be replaced, but ... still. At least the ship got away relatively unscathed, mainly because we took most of the fire â€“ literally.

			Somehow we managed to scratch together a hot meal, mainly because of Dragon catching fish. At last â€“ real food. I even threw in some berries that I have scavenged on the island. We then rested on the rocks for the rest of the day.

			==== Day 15 ====
			Next morning, Rayne summoned a cloud. Before napping on the cloud â€“ and Rayneâ€™s cloud allows me to smoosh myself in it, then pull some over me as a blanket â€“ I told Rayne to fly along the coast in the direction the ship went for roughly a day until encountering a large river mouth then fly up that until a large city is seen nearby. Iâ€™m not sure how much sleep I got as I somehow ended up getting into philosophical arguments with both Eugene and SauRus, mostly Eugene, â€“ and maybe I did dream some of those.

			==== Day 16 ====
			It wasnâ€™t until dawn the next day, while I was purifying according to ancient elven pagan traditions, that the river mouth was spotted. Rayne turned the cloud to fly up river. A bit later on, we were surrounded by Haast Eagles with riders on them. After explaining our purpose, we were escorted to a spot four miles away from Talville.

			Entering the city, we noticed two things, there seemed to be less people around, and most of the ones we did see were female. Probably the military maneuvers out in the country side had something to do with it. We were given accommodation at an abandoned manor house with no plants around it, which made it a rather depressing place. Eugene wanted to know about what local Powers were available to help him get out of this Pact with the Fae King.

			Felix came to see us a bit later on, bearing a special book for Eugene to look through. While he was doing that, and the others were discussing possibilities, Rayne and I went to the market. We came back with various items of food and I procured a whiter fluffy cloud like dragon plushie that reminded me of Cloud, the dragon that we hatched on our last trip here. Dragon was muttering something about â€˜big brother being a showoffâ€™.

			Rayne also presented Felix with a phoenix feather. Apparently both Death and Murder, Rayneâ€™s two Haast Eagles she had acquired from Felix on our last trip here, had somehow changed into phoenixes and Rayne had acquired a small, but steady supply of feathers. Also, since I interviewed her, she had added necromancy to her repertoire. Something to ask about later? SauRus was also a likely candidate for a Times interview, especially when he admitted he was over 400 years old, this wasnâ€™t his original body, he had been an undead for a while, and his original plane of origin wasnâ€™t Alusia. As soon as I get my writing hand back, I am so going to have to find out more.

			After a lot of deliberation, Eugene finally settled on [[Amon]], the Marquis of Fire. Felix said there was a monument to that demon, roughly fifteen miles out of town that was surrounded by very hot, blue, flames. Not many people survived the experience. Eugene decided to go in as a pilgrim, minimal protections, and some sacrificial goods, including what was left of my Crown of Mass Charm.

			So we all trooped over there to witness this event. Jaycey offered to â€˜keep an eyeâ€™ on Eugeneâ€™s stuff while he was in there. I said that, if he survived this experience, Iâ€™d interview him to find out what it was like.

			Before we went in, he started dancing around the fire. I was tempted to join in as ritual dancing is a â€˜thingâ€™ in the old elven pagan teachings, along with healing crystals, â€˜being one with Natureâ€™, and wearing nothing but leaves and flowers. But when Eugene started uttering stuff in a rather guttural language that reminded me of ancient Black Speech, the next thing I knew, I was up a tree, several hundred yards away. By the time I recovered my wits and flew back, he had already passed through the flames.

			It seemed like hours while we waited, (Jaycey and I were passing the time with card games) until a blackish lump crawled back out on what was left of his limbs. Rayne rushed over and did what she could while Jaycey provided a horse and cart to put, what was left of, Eugene on. I was trying to think of a way to summon a small, fluffy, cloud he could rest on, but didnâ€™t come up with anything useful. Something to look into later? Carefully we took Eugene back to town and put him in the gentle care of the healers.
