I understand and while the task is great it shall be completed. Trade on Lorwyn should get back to normal soon and routes to Dominaria will follow I'm sure. I will be sure to tell all of Oona's failings and to keep a watchful eye on the Fae.
Xen nods and smiles saying, "The clique here in Estark will be doing their best to recruit Fae to our cause. Be sure to work with them and use them as messengers through the portal. If Oona does make any moves try and send a messenger to House Shanodia asking for me, Xen Anastan."
Xen points towards the center of Estark saying, "They will always know where I have gone and will be able to contact me if I am in a distant land training when Oona does make her move."
Looking back to Ashling, Xen asks, "If I understand correctly there is another major race, the merfolk, who will also be affected by Oona's actions. When you and the others return could you try and bring the merfolk to our cause as well? Their control of the waterways will greatly help strengthen the trade on your plane and subsequently the trade into our plane."
"Just be wary when you deal with them. There's a good chance they have been transformed in some way through Oona's magics." spoke Xen.
Then turning to the rest of the group Xen spoke confidently saying, "Oona has the advantage right now. We're going to change this and fix your home, but we'll need to work together. Reed and Vera already have ties set up in Estark. They'll be recruiting other Fae to their cause. Use those Fae to communicate between yourselves and Estark."
Looking to the Fae Xen said, "Pass any information you find our are given to House Shimia and Shanodia. They should be able to get the news to us."
Addressing the whole group again Xen said, "Aramil and I will be heading into Estark to speak with the owner of Estark's largest spell shop. He has a lot of connections and will be interested in acquiring some spells from your peoples. We'll let him know that your traders should be coming by within a week."
Xen flashed a caring smile to all of his companions saying, "Until we meet again then."
With a bow of his head in respect to all of them, Xen turned and looked towards Aramil asking, "Are you ready to return to Estark?"
Aramil turned to Xen and nodded. "We haven't been gone that long, but it feels like it's been eons. What I wouldn't give for a good night's sleep in Shimia's chilly halls."
"We have much to attend to." spoke Xen with heavy fatigue in his voice. "Let us speak with Frankie first and then we can rest before returning to our duties."
Xen glanced back to Ashling offering a final good bye wave as the Fae and Ysonne followed Aramil and Xen towards Estark...
Xen looks sullen as he says, "Disastrous, we met a powerful fool that's devastated two planes. But that is a tale for another time. We're returning from a place that has merged with Lorwyn, a place called Shadowmoor by it's inhabitants. I say merge because that's what the fool has done in casting her spell."
Xen let's out a frustrated sigh continuing, "We escaped her wrath and have taken measures to help those hurt by her actions. Estark can be expecting a large increase in trade from both inhabitants of Lorwyn and Shadowmoor now. Traders from the flamekin, kithkin, Fae, and elves should be entering the city within a week. I've told their leaders to send all of them to you first as you have the most contacts. This way you'll also have first pick at the spells the traders bring with them."
Xen lets out a soft chuckle saying, "Normally I'm a bit more delicate in these matters but I find myself pressed for time due to Oona's actions, the fool I spoke of earlier. All of this trade is in an effort to recover from the aftermath of her spell. Now I've promised to return and help these people, but I have to get stronger. Last time we were only able to defeat her because we had twice as many mages than her. Next time I wont know how many will be standing at my side. I need to train and get stronger."
Xen looked levelly into Frankie's eyes saying, "Because of the new trade we are opening up for you, could you provide both of us, Aramil and I, with some of the new spells that will be coming in?"
"Certainly," the Loxodone said, "I'll be sure to inform the heads of the houses of the new trade opportunity and the help Lorwyn, or whatever they call their plane now, needs. Feel free to take a gem or two as they come in in exchange for your efforts. You've more than earned it."
Xen bowed gratefully to Frankie saying, "Thank you, my friend. I will be back later to gain what I need for training."
Turning to exit the shop Xen stepped outside waiting for the others. As the Fae passed by he said, "Remember to send word to me at House Shanodia! I will do my best to come when word is sent. Take care."
As the Fae left Xen turned to Ysonne saying, "House Shanodia will gladly provide housing for you Ysonne, should you choose our home for your stay in Estark as the Ambassador to your people."
Ysonne bowed her head in acceptance saying, "Thank you, Xen."
Xen extended a hand to Aramil and shook his saying, "Until we meet again, friend."
Both Xen and Aramil receive 20 experience for doing a great job and sticking through the quest till the end, as decided by the entire WPL staff. Both have the bundles of gold and spells to collect at Frankies. Thread will be closed after Yukora decides to post.

"Take care of yourself, and don't gun for that ***** until you know you are ready. And don't for a moment think you're going without me."
