Still unaccustomed to her still growing body, Zoriah is made uncomfortable at the stares she is getting from some of the men in the city as she walks to the graveyard where Sheila's temple is. She pauses at the door before she knocks, not wanting to surprise Sheila. After all, this body is new to Zoriah, and her friends have not seen her yet. Zoriah takes a deep breath and knocks on the temple doors.

From behind her she heard a familiar voice, "May I help you?" As Zoriah turns around she sees Shiela who pauses and says, "Zoriah? Is that you?" She had a confused look on her face.

Zoriah no longer has always dirty hair. Having been in one place for more than a day or two, Zoriah has cleaned up. Her blonde hair is radiant, and falls past her shoulders. Zoriah smiles, "Sheila, I'm pleased to see you. Yes, it is me...I was wondering if you had a moment to talk, I've got some questions for you regarding something I found in the crypts.

Shiela steps past Zoriah, holds up her hand and says something indecernable by any that hear it, the doors open up to a huge hall, and Shiela says, "Come on in Zoriah and tell me what's on your mind."

Zoriah follows Sheila inside. "After the....incident with Myalani, I picked up a deck of cards from her body. My curiosity got the better of me, and I drew a few of the cards, which would explain this" and Zoriah motions with her hand, up and down her very obviously not 10 year old body "two of the cards effects have been made obvious, I've gained a measurable sum of money.....and a more than measurable amount of knowledge. It would seem that the knowledge is also causing me to age. I've spoken with Master Zen at the Wizarding tower, and he has told me the deck is one of 13 in the world, and I should keep it safe. I fear for my, and our, safety if I were to draw any more cards. I want to store the deck, so I would not be tempted to draw more cards, and so that it does not fall into the hands of someone that could potentially use it and come to harm. What would you suggest I do?"

Shiela listens as she walks, and opening a door to a large office, motions for Zoriah to sit on a chair as Shiela walks around and sits in the bigger chair behind the desk, she taps her fingers on the desk a few times and says, "Originally, and this is years ago mind you, I would have suggested you leave them with the High-Clerics in the reigning Temple of Djundur, but in light of the corruption and the purge..." She changes her thought mid sentence, "Why not ask this Master Zen to have the Wizarding Tower hold them and to hide them from you? I have heard the wizards of the tower and fair and seek knowledge, not power?"

"A good point, thank you Sheila. There is one more issue, of a more.....personal matter." Zoriah motions for Sheila to lean in so she can whisper, making it obvious that she is embarassed. "How do you deal with......men. Everyone seems to be taking me seriously now, at least way more than they did when I appeared to be a child, but the stares I get make me feel.....odd, and not in a good way. I haven't had any trouble with anyone yet, but how did you deal with unwanted advances?"

Shiela smiles Zoriah and says, "I usually just break something and the ones left over, I'll give them a chance." She stops smiling and says, "Seriously though, men are just drawn to what they find beautiful, and that is becoming you. It is not an insult dear, it is a blessing, you just don't understand it yet." Suddenly there is a knock on the office door, "Come in!" Shiela yells, and as the door opens, a handsome young blond cleric stands in the doorway, "Master Blandersmith, the library is catalogued, and I am moving to the artifact room, unless you need something else?"

The cleric enters and Zoriah blushes and brushes the hair away from her face. "Sheila, I have one more thing to discuss, if you have the time. My job from Master Zen. I have set some things in motion, and will be unable to continue with you for a time, would you be willing to continue in my stead?"

Shiela looks to the blond cleric and says, "One moment Cleric Roberts, don't move." She turns to Zoriah and says, "You want me to finish clearing the crypts without you? I have quite a bit to do here, and I have only 3 apprentices to assist me, why not finish your training and we will wait for Zanna to return, and than we will finish the task you were given?" She turns toward Cleric Roberts and says, "Cleric Roberts, will you please give Zoriah a tour of our facilities, and afterword see her out. Take your time, the artifacts will not go anywhere, and I have some research to finish." The young cleric smiles like an idiot and bows, looking at Zoriah, offers his arm. As Zoriah stands up, "Seriously though Zoriah, when you are done training, send for me, and I will finish this quest with you."

"Well, Master Zen said he wasn't sure how long it would take to give me instruction, given how much he said that I absorbed from the card. As soon as my training has finished, I will call on you. If you have need of me before then, you know where to find me." Blushing again, she turns to Cleric Roberts, extending her arm for him, "Shall we?"

Zanna returns and seeks out Shiela wondering if the small group will venture out again anytime soon.

After her tour with Cleric Roberts, Zoriah walks out of the temple to return to her stronghold. Walking down the steps, she notices Zanna coming to Sheila's temple. A moment after the two pass each other, Zoriah says "Hello Zanna, it is good to see you again."

Zanna, looks back the voice familiar but the young lady not so familiar. "Zoriah? Is that you? I have not been gone that long have I?"

Zoriah, wearing a robe covered in eyes, open and moving, her hair no longer dirty, but well kept and radiantly blonde, turns to Zanna. "No" She says with a laugh, "and the circumstances that led up to my...aging were less than fortunate. Myalani is dead. Sheila, Myalani and I went into the crypts, and Myalani didn't make it out. Shelia can fill you in if you like, but our business is not yet finished there. Comen see me in the stronghold we liberated from the spy and those he worked for if you wish, I have made that my home. Though, I do imagine it will be a bit noisy, what with the construction I've comissioned, you'll have a room and a bed there, should you desire it."
