Drawing forth

Giving Taran a look that said, What do you take me for?, Lord Avondale rose to his feet. Looking to the door of the study--from which the other side he could scent Rose, he called out, "Please do not hesitate, Lady Rose. Please come in."

Introductions

"Who spoke?" Dragon asked. "Second thought...why am I slowly being crushed to death beneath this debris?"

<You needed to be restrained, sai Dragon,> came the voice again as the debris lifted itself off of Dragon and settled to her side. <See to the pup that you had injured. He's about to faint from the injuries of which you are responsible for.>

Standing and dusting herself off, Dragon glanced at Wolf and saw that he was, indeed, about to collapse. Arching an eyebrow at the werewolf's injuries, Dragon said, "You got those from helping me?"

"Yes, Lady Dragon," Wolf replied, barely able to keep his head up. "Shalimar sent me to find you."

Wrapping her hand around the werewolf's muzzle to keep him from snapping accidentally while she healed the werewolf's wounds with waterbending, Dragon said, "And why wasn't Xangord sent?"

<She, and Nogard, were in the same condition as you were,> the voice said yet again.

Satisfied with the patch job, Dragon turned around to see who was speaking. The resonance of the voice was slightly irritating. Immediately, she saw the blind woman. "Who're you?"

As the blind woman bowed, the voice spoke in Dragon's head, <My name is Flannery O'Bowie.> As the woman's head snapped up with a dark look on her face, the voice said, <Call me anything but Flan, and I shall have to eviscerate you, sai Dragon.>

Cracking a smile, Dragon said, "Is that so? Is the blind human the owner of the disembodied voice?"

As the human nodded, the voice said, <Blind and voiceless I may be; I see all and have much to say.>

"So you have telepathy," Dragon said. "Pretty strong by the sound."

<Aye, sai Dragon. Also I am strong in the use of psychokinesis.>

"Cool," Dragon said. "Did you work for Dumb and Dumber?"

<Yes I was forced into their employment. Now that I am free, I should like to see far more interesting things than these walls.>

"Then come with us," Wolf said. "With what I am told about this family--and from what I just saw--then you'll see millions of interesting things."

<As sai Dragon seems to be the leader of her clan,> Flan said. <The decision is hers.>

Myuu

Having extricated himself before the mutt took notice of him, Myuu relaxed for a moment against a tree. That Chazu cannot have long to live with that many strands of genetics in him. Perhaps I shall have better luck finding Rose.
