Sage awoke to a cold nose against her cheek, and a digging at the blankets, Pingers her chimera had found his way back home. Sage immediately got up and checked the little pouch Pingers wore when he acted as courier for her, she had tucked Aly's note into it the previous week when the little ferret was sent into the dreaming following a wisp created by The Queen, to find Ian and deliver a message. From the little pouch Sage pulled a bit of shiny wire, a gentleman's ring, and a scrap of parchment. Written in Ian's hand the note simply read, "message received".
Needing to know more, Sage sat on the floor stroking the little ferrets back summoning from her well of glamour Sage began to chitter, casting willow whisper successfully three times before communication began to flow. Sage asked the little chimera what it saw when it found Ian and Phaen? Images disjointed by the different patters of though between the Ghille Dhu and the Chimera came slowly but a broader picture was eventually made out. Ian and Phaen lie sleeping, bloody bandages filled a bowl on a bedside table, more covered in black soot lie on the floor. The face of a large blue ogre fills the image peeking around a door, concern mixed with gratitude was the mask he wore. The sound of glass breaking and fluid spilling out on the floor broke Sages concentration. Another experiment down the tubes...
Sighing to herself, Sage looked to the ferret and whispered. "at least they seemed all right".
