The parting of clouds

[The Brollachan]

*A short time after Anthony Delgado departs*
I see you made it here safely, and I suppose I should thank you as I suspect at the least he was lying to me.

[Midnightwolf]

*smiles to the brollachan* as did i *shrugs* time will tell

*looks directly at the brollachan* are you ready to try and are you sure this is what you wish?

[The Brollachan]

Well I suppose you may as well, after all I have got very few memories to loose, and plenty to gain. So I am willing for you to go ahead and enter my mind. Though it could be a scary place, so enter at your own risk.

*Broll sets his focus on the lake in preparation*

[Midnightwolf]

*smiles as brolls attention goes elsewere not neccesary but makes it a bit easier..reaches out gently all around streching his awarness out for miles..condenses that streched out awareness in a single beam to the brollachan and begins to gently pick at pathways though brolls mind like a violinist..finding many blocked paths beneath the surface marks their placement and searches out more..having found them all ...*

"whats green?" *said to distract brolls attention completely for a moment*

*that instant as brolls mind sparks to life at the question wolf redirects all the energy in his and brolls immediate thoughts and the blockages slowly dissolve..withdraws before the process cascades and brolls mind truly awakens*

[The Brollachan]

*As Wolf finishes unblocking Broll’s mind, the memories start coming back to Broll…*

* Mental images start appearing, Broll can see him as a child, he is learning how to transport objects in from one place to another using his mouth. The next image he can clearly see is him in becoming an adult Brollachan and learning how to change shapes into different forms. Then the image changes and he sees faces for the past, including a female who he had become close to. The images continue in a blur, until one focuses and an unwelcome face can be seen. It is that of Lord Fear appearing and wiping his mind and dragging him off to Goth. From there the images continue getting closer and closer to the present day. The last image he sees is of the events a few moments ago, and as that occurs the memories cause his mind to overload, and causes him to pass out.*

* A short time later Broll comes round and is lying on the floor.*
I remember, I remember the past, the past has been unlocked to me...

[Midnightwolf]

*wolf is crouched in the entrance to the cave his back to the brollachan turning his head for a moment*

*smiles*im glad for you my friend

*goes back to watching the forest allowing broll to collect himself and build his defenses again*

[The Brollachan]

*Broll picks himself up off of the floor, and moves himself back onto the wall. Taking a few deep breathes he composes himself. With his newly regained knowledge, he had gained power. Though he was always welcome to knew knowledge he needed much less than he did before.*

[Midnightwolf]

*looks back as the brollachan smiles at the subtle changes in him the new memories have brought*

*asks* do you need food?

*scents the air and feels the forests song calling him again*

*turns back* what do wall people eat?

[The Brollachan]

*pauses to think breifly*

Well all this new knowledge has made me feel a bit hungery, so I suppose food would be welcome. However please don't go out of your way to find food for me, as I can eat later. Though if you are getting food, I am partial to a bit of flesh, human or animal, raw or cooked, I don't mind. It just gives me something to chew on.

[Midnightwolf]

*tilts his head at this and reaches into the forest hearing the trees whisper of a large deer..maybe larger than needed with a broken leg*

*looks at broll* I will be back shortly..and its safer to cook meat

*without looking back answers the call he hears almost every moment of his life*

*walks normally down the path till he`s out of sight then sets into his loping run...moves silently through the forest following the whispers till he reaches the disabled animal..gets down on all fours and crawls over to it slowly drawing the peace of the woodland around him like a cloak..creeps up almost nose to nose with the now calm and curious deer..begins to mutter softly almost reventially...strokes the back of a hand up the deers for head and then strokes it chin with the other hand*

*the snap echos a short way through the forest and the all is still again*

*wolf sits on his heels the head of the deer on his knees its eyes closed a faint trace of what is mutterd drifts on an errant breeze "...Vita do pergo vita...." wolf reachs for a dirk from his thigh and puts it against his palm "..amo et amo" blood begins to hit the floor from wolfs hand after a few moments wolf cleans his dirk slides it into its sheath put his uncut hand over his cut hand and closes his eyes..the bleeding slows and the cut starts to knit together..after a few moments more wolf flexes his now uninjured hand and moves the deer deeper into the forest...collects some kindling and fire wood and shouldering the deer lopes back toward the cave*

*resumes his normal walk as he reaches the cave were broll is shrugs the deer to the floor carefully so as not to bruise the meat inclines his head to the watching brollachan and then starts to build up a discrete cooking fire in the back of the cave....lets brollachan watch as wolf uses his dirk to dress the deer ready for cooking and drying..hangs the skin on a rock just outside hair on the stone the still fatty side exposed to the coming storm...brings the meat in and puts the meat to be dreid onto the large leaves found just outside the cave.. leaves the haunches and forelegs over the fire to cook through after rubbing in the cooking spices..more than enough to feed us an a few others but as is the custom in the hinterlands a table is laid for more than present as theres always the wolves if no others come*
