First, they introduced themselves and they got to see the rather unusual sight of a dragon tilting her head sideways in a rather quizzical expression. However, Vindecaldra said nothing as they spoke and instead, she listened. First Kisaik and then Tei'serin spoke and for a moment, Vindecaldra was quiet. Dragonlings flew around her, dragonets too and then, she spoke.
Vindecaldra continued speaking to Tei then.
She turned her gaze then to Kisaik.
She looked to them both and then she let out a roar which made the world itself shake.
And, with that, she took flight. It was an incredible sight and one that had not been seen on Idalos for a very long time.
Then, there was the sound of waves crashing and they found themselves back where this had all begun.
"I have seen what occurred here,"
she said, towering above them. "And I thank you for heeding U'frek's call. You, Mädärä Kisaik Ciuruọrun sọ Kufuata Karo Kashe Däuä, Tìfmi Härumtä sọ anou Faewun Samuwar, ọbavi sọ tẹlẹ, igbaradi sọ anou tabi ọludïbọ, Saoire's chieja kẹmïkälï kukïrï, have shown great bravery. Your size is small but your bravery is great."
She turned her eyes to Tei then. "As great as your caution."
Vindecaldra continued speaking to Tei then.
"Fear paralyses and inaction harms both yourself and those around you. You need to be reborn into someone stronger, else you risk your life and the lives of those who depend on you you."
Vindecaldra could, of course, heal Tei, but she did not. "Rebuild yourself,"
she said. "Forge yourself in fire and strength and take your life back from those who have paralysed you. When you have achieved this, whisper my name to the statue before you, and I will reward you."
There was, indeed, a small statue as per the rewards below in front of her. She turned her gaze then to Kisaik.
"You, also, need to be reborn."
Her voice had a different tone, though. "I charge you with the same task as your companion. Grow in strength. For you, it is so that your skill and strength matches your bravery. It is that bravery which I reward now,"
she said, and she gestured and both a dragonling and a dragonet flew to him. "I offer you these companions on your journey. When you are ready, speak to one of them and, should you wish it, I will grant you my Effigy to make you greater still."
She looked to them both and then she let out a roar which made the world itself shake.
"Fare you well, and may you both grow in strength and skill! Be reborn in glory and burn away all that would have held you back."
And, with that, she took flight. It was an incredible sight and one that had not been seen on Idalos for a very long time.
Then, there was the sound of waves crashing and they found themselves back where this had all begun.
Your Review
Tei'serin
Overview
I am so impressed with your deciding to take a risk and try to rejuvenate this pc. Your stress levels in chat were off the chart at different points, which is one of the reasons I'm so glad that Tei fought back. She's a very passive pc who I think may find this experience life changing - one way or another. I look forward to seeing her deal with the after effect here and I hope she gets to call on Vindecaldra sooner, rather than later. Thank you so much for taking part in this global event!

Objective Met: Outside The Box: In this thread Tei'serin used her skills / abilities in clever and unusual ways. I've never seen anyone stab someone with an arrow before!
Arrow of Striking: The ambient energy around them has mutated Tei's arrow. It can now, once a trial, shift into a bladed weapon. This might be in size range from as small as a dagger to as long as a longsword. It is a good blade, though it has no other magical aspects to it. After a full break, the blade returns to it's arrow form. It's still perfectly functional as an arrow, but has the strength of a sword, so is much harder to break.
Objective Met: Pressure Point!: In this thread Tei functioned well under pressure. Although her caution was close to being so bad that it was detrimental to her, Tei fought back when faced with someone trying to kill her. She didn't panic, which I was really pleased to see!
Emergency Medicine: A small bag which can be hung easily on her belt, this medicine bag unfolds and opens up to be much bigger than is possible when you see it. A sort of mini Domain Bag, it opens up to include a small, basic, but full medical kit.
Objective Met: Pacifist! In this thread Tei'serin avoided unnecessary violence. She did her very best to avoid violence of any kind, in fact.
Ghost Book The book that Tei found was, in fact, linked to the ghostly girl. Over time, Tei will see that its contents change - one trial it might have images of herbs or flowers, the next trial, rocks. The words are always indecipherable. When activated, it allows Tei to see any and all ghosts in any area and communicate with them - they can see her, too. It lasts for a full trial and may not be activated again for at least another twenty trials.
Objective Met: Surprised The Mod! Congratulations, Tei'serin surprised the mod. She fought back when cornered which, considering how passive she had been throughout the rest of the thread, was a surprise.
The Girl Who Lived: Tei has lived to tell the tale, but she has some truly horrid injuries. Her hip and shoulder joint are shattered. She will need bed rest for ten trials after these events and this will allow her to heal enough that she can start to move again, but her arm is next to useless and she needs a crutch to walk (wheelchairs are a thing on Idalos). During those ten trials, she is visited by Moseke in her dreams who informs Tei that there is a hope that she will get better but she needs to actively pursue it, to be proactive and determined. Moseke encourages her to do this, to embark on the slow and painful journey of physical healing and building up of her strength and endurance. If Tei does this, Moseke says, she will learn the value of being proactive.
If you choose to do this, Tei will need to have a plot tracker. Please let me know, and we'll set it up.
Objective Met: True Colours: Tei was true to herself throughout this thread. Great RP!
Dragon's Tear: A small gem in the shape of a tear drop, this gem will heal one person of moderate wounds (deep cuts, burns, moderately sized puncture wounds, etc) once a day. It can not, however, work on Tei.
Objective Met: Bravery: In this thread Tei acted in a manner which was brave (or foolish!)
Vindecaldra's Flame A small tealight candle which never burns away or gets blown out. Tei is the only one who can light it or snuff it out. While it is burning it gives anyone in the room with it (up to a large room / tent / 50ft area) a feeling of confidence and energy, passion and determination. Across the side of the candle is carved the words: "Fire burns all so that new life may grow from the ashes."
Vindecaldra's Promise As per this post, Vindecaldra has told Tei that she needs to be reborn. This links with the reward "The Gild Who Lived" and, should Tei pursue this avenue, will be included in the tracker. What Vindecaldra meant when she said "reward", though, is not known.
Dragon Statue A small statue of Vindecaldra, roughly 8 inches tall. This looks like a beautiful metal ornament but it acts as a warning. Tei may designate one place to be 'home' and the statue will let her know when someone is approaching that place. It gives her roughly three minutes warning, allowing her to act and / or prepare for whoever is arriving
Lava Egg A small stone egg which fits in the palm of her hand and looks like it is made of lava. For Tei it is always just warm and when she is carrying it, she is not affected by cold effects even in sub-zero temperature. Four times a cycle, it can be activated and thrown and will explode doing significant damage in a ten foot radius from point of impact. Once activated in this way, the egg returns to Tei's hand.

Cad Revel
Overview
I didn't think it was possible for me to love a pc more than Tio, but here he is! Cad is a fab PC and I love how he just throws himself in, full force, to his world domination plans. He's entertaining to read and wonderfully written. I've followed his antics in Ascension and so I know that he went on to big things! I sincerely hope that you enjoy these rewards and thank you so much for your contribution to the global event!

Objective Met: Action Hero: In this thread Cad drove the story forward
Action Figure Cad is granted a small marionette-type figure on a stand. It's the sort of thing that artists use to help them when drawing the human form. This one is able to be animated, three times a cycle, and can be placed or will walk to somewhere to sit and gather information for Cad. It is very useful for spying etc as it hears and "records" up to three breaks of information. It then teleports back to Cad and plays out the information in "real time" (so it takes three breaks to show him three breaks) in Cad's head. He must be touching it the whole time for the playback to work.
Objective Met: Ingenious Planner: In this thread Cad came up with clever plans and plots
Pocket Planner A small book with "Plans, Tasks & To Do" written on the outside. This to-do list helps Cad in his quest for world domination which, as he has noted, is an expensive affair. It shows him hints and tips for making money, the upshot of which is that he gains a 10WP bonus on his Wealth Threads claim each season (as per Pocket Change from Sombran) as long as his Wealth Thread includes this book.
Objective Met: Outside The Box: In this thread Cad used their skills / abilities in clever and unusual ways.
Inside the Box! A box which collapses into a small folded piece approximately the size of a book. It opens up to be rather garish magician's box which, once a cycle can be used by Cad only. He gets in the box, closes the lid and he is teleported home (where he lives) - when the magician's box is opened back where he was, revealing him to be gone, the folded box reappears in Cad's possession
Objective Met: Leadership Potential!: In this thread Cad showed excellent qualities of leadership
Peons! Cad is awarded a group of faceless NPC followers. Twenty NPC followers with 100 skill points each, which must be spent on no less than 5 and no more than 30 skill points in any one skill per NPC. Must be approved via PSF.
Objective Met: Pressure Point!: In this thread Cad functioned well under pressure
Apprentice! 1 NPC with 450 skill points, with no less than 10 and no more than 60 skill points in any one skill. Must be approved via the PSF.
Objective Met: Puzzler! In this thread Cad worked out puzzles and dealt with strange situations!
You Pesky Kids! A child's puzzle box. Unopenable by any but Cad, it has the "Bottomless Chest" ability from Sombran.
Objective Met: Bravery In this thread Cad acted in a manner which was brave (or foolish!)
Rags to Riches Your part in this and the general adoration of your public means that you gain gifts and general nice things. Add 5WP to your ledger.
Objective Met: : Surprised The Mod! Congratulations, Cad surprised the mod.
Disguise Kit A simple cloth bag which contains a Tier 10 Disguise kit. The bag itself is small and unassuming and could easily be hung from a belt. It's far too small to contain all the items it does, but it still does, and they are replenished daily.
Objective Met: True Colours: Cad was true to themselves throughout this thread. Great RP!
The Amazing Technicolour Dream Cloak A cloak / cape which acts as a duplicity cape. It will take on any length / design / pattern and furthermore Cad is always comfortably warm / cool in it. Rain doesn't soak him while he's wearing it and - no matter what shape / size it it? It's extra swishy!

Kisaik
Overview
The tiny tunawa knight! Kisaik was so brave in this thread, it was unreal. He's just so brave that he amazed and inspired me. When faced with impossible odds, he protected others and the outcome is that he's gained a lot of respect from the Immortals. I hope that he gets to come back and take Vindecaldra's offer of Effigy - and that he reforges him in truly epic style! Thank you so much for your contribution to the global events!

Objective Met: Ingenious Planner: In this thread Kisaik came up with clever plans and plots
For his bravery and courage, he is granted 2 companions: Vindecaldra's Dragonling and Dragonet (described in thread, not yet released. Please use the descriptions given).
Objective Met: Outside The Box: In this thread Kisaik used their skills / abilities in clever and unusual ways.
A new MB Domain / abilitiy
Objective Met: Leadership Potential!: In this thread Kisaik showed excellent qualities of leadership
Qylios' Gaze Qylios is so impressed with the courage you show that she has blessed you with a Favoured mark and the first 6 powers.
Objective Met: Pressure Point!: In this thread Kisaik functioned well under pressure
Moseke's Gratitude: For endangering your own life to help her follower, Moseke grants Kisaik a small bracelet. On it are 2 moseke-granted abilities:
- Ivy's Touch The character must be in direct contact with some form of flora to use this ability. The user is able to manipulate the plant into thick vines that are easily controllable. These vines can be used to climb, used to entrap animals and people, or kill. There are a number of uses for these vines, and once made, they will not dissipate unless willed by the user. Depending on the kind of plant the character is using to make the vines, they can be poisonous to others.
- Moseke's Light - The user is capable of focusing divine energy into a moderate injury (Deep cuts, burns, moderately sized puncture wounds, etc.) and coax the cells into healing. When this ability is in use, a pale green, yellow light emits from the bracelet like a mist and is focused towards the injury.
Objective Met: Puzzler!: In this thread Kisaik worked out puzzles and dealt with strange situations
Ashan's Respect : Ashan gazes upon Kisaik and is proud of his free will and how he uses it. Kisaik progresses to Adored in Ashan's mark and gains the first 4 abilities of Adored.
Objective Met: Bravery: In this thread Kisaik acted in a manner which was brave (or foolish!)
Emergency Supplies: A small bag which can be hung easily on his belt, this bag contains a Tier 10 alchemy kit which is perfectly sized for Kisaik. You may pull up to 6 reagents which you know of and which are common or unusual each day - and may also pull one rare resource once every season (twice a cycle). These resources may be from anywhere in the world, they appear in your magic bag.
Objective Met: : Surprised The Mod! Congratulations, Kisaik surprised the mod.
Cassion's Gift : For his part in this epic tale, Kisaik is awarded a book. It has "The Tales of Sir Chip, Knight and Hero" written on the front and, as long as he writes down his adventures in it, he seems somehow to attract more notice and attention. Mechanically, this book grants you 10WP per season to your Wealth Threads (as per the Sombran mark) - so long as you use the book within the thread.
Objective Met: True Colours: Kisaik was true to themselves throughout this thread. Great RP!
Cloak of Invisibility A cloak for Sir Chip which allows him to turn invisible when he activates it (may be activated 6 times a cycle, lasts for a full trial) It doesn't stop him making sounds. It also is a duplicity cloak which changes colour to match his outfit and it keeps him protected from fire, at all times he wears it.
Dragon's Tear: A small gem in the shape of a tear drop, this gem will heal one person of moderate wounds (deep cuts, burns, moderately sized puncture wounds, etc) once a day. It can not, however, work on Sir Chip
Vindecaldra's Flame A small tealight candle which never burns away or gets blown out. Kisaik is the only one who can light it or snuff it out and it does not harm him. While it is burning it gives anyone in the room with it (up to a large room / tent / 50ft area) a feeling of confidence and energy, passion and determination. Across the side of the candle is carved the words: "Fire burns all so that new life may grow from the ashes."
Dragon Necklace A small necklace with a locket of Vindecaldra. This looks like a beautiful piece of jewelry but it acts as an equilizer. While he's wearing it, twice a cycle Kisaik may use it and he will match the size of a single opponent. It has to be someone or somethig he's fighting and it gives him no extra skills. However, it negates the size advantage.
Lava Egg A small stone egg which fits in the palm of his hand and looks like it is made of lava. For Kis it is always just warm and when he is carrying it, he is not affected by cold effects even in sub-zero temperature. Four times a cycle, it can be activated and thrown and will explode doing significant damage in a ten foot radius from point of impact. Once activated in this way, the egg returns to Kisaik's hand.
