Fixed right up

So I saw Mar in the hall in another of her trances and went to hold her and look after her and such. She was pretty deep but I think she was still comforted by my presence.

Until Siona came in. She seemed to have gone completely nuts. She started accusing me of being evil and saying that it was my fault she was burdened with Mar, and so many other horrible things that I would have slapped her if Mar hadn't been on my lap. To say Marquie was a burden...

All of a sudden Marquie woke up, she gave Siona a piece of her mind as well as telling me she didnt like my being around R. We went into the kitchen to talk and I told her about me and Siona breaking up, though I promised we'd sitll be her family. Siona apparently overheard and took offense that I'd called Myth her boyfriend but I wasnt worried since Siona wanted to be offended.

Anyhow Mar settled Siona then and then she made a great announcement: her latest trance was the last one, she'd mastered her past and put down her memories, come to terms iwth them so now she can live as she should be, my Marmar. We chased eachother around the hall and laughed a bit until she went to bed.

While I was at the tower I had the rangers send off a cart of gifts to Trossach's Crossing, Nic's new home since Kielder's fall. I hope her and her family enjoy them. once that was organized I went to see Siona again and eventually she calmed down and we talked. She dosnt want Myth thinking she likes him cuz it would give him power over her or something. I don't understand I guess cuz its a girl thing. She really seems a lot like some teenager now, right down to the moodswings and boy-crazyness. I hope she'll be ok but I did tell her never to treat Mar like that again.

After Siona left (thankfully on ok terms with me) a messanger came from Mes saying that the elders had returned. The elders are an evil group that turn shifters and other intelligent animals into familiars and sell them. They'd taken Kumi and Elaithias, the Netherese elf was around to help get her back, so the two of us went and stormed the elders dungeon.

Aside from a helmed horror we found little resistance and nothing alive until we reached a secret passageway and penetrated deep inside. I was nearly killed by a barrage of acid and poison, but managed to heal myself up a little bit, still I knew I couldn't go on. I gave El a magic item to help him and a few spells and then whined until I could get myself back to R's.
