Renarl's Tower

[Empusa Sesshi]

(OOC: There's a don't there! It's always been there! Yes...yes that's it...)

He hmms. "Well, it suggests that you could possible become male again if you have a female child. As to the second question, the average human lives to be about ohh...seventy, eighty at times."

[Mitera Nikkou]

Stud rushed to his feet, her face stricken with horror. "Eigh... Eigh... Just eighty!?" She exclaimed. "But I'm over two-hundred seasons in age, and was looking forward to thousands more!"

She looked down, shadows covering her face. Her hands tensed into fists as she considered her situation. "I must become a faery again..." She muttered, almost inaudibly, then yelled: "I won't accept my life being shortened so much!"

She raised her head and held up a fist as she glared at Renarl with fire in her eyes. "Help me find a way to become my old self again! I won't be able to live as a human! And I certainly do not wish to take the chance of becoming a female faery for the rest of my life!"

[Empusa Sesshi]

He blinks a few times. "Well er...the only thing the book mentions is that you have to have a female child, then wean her. Afterward you MAY become a male fae again."

[Mitera Nikkou]

"But I have no control over what child I bear! Especially as..." She then looked down at herself. "A human, right?"

[Empusa Sesshi]

He blinks. "We...yes that's right, you've essentially a 50/50 chance."

[Mitera Nikkou]

She leans toward Renarl and got close to his face, giving him one of those pleading expressions that the females in his tribe often used to convince him into doing something. "Can you please think of a way where I can become myself again, without having to give birth when there's no guarantee that it will work in my favor?"

[Empusa Sesshi]

He turns a faint red color. "Er..well...there IS one thing we can try, it's rumored that the wings of a flying lobster are a good magical remedy...where we'll find one is a tough call.."

[Mitera Nikkou]

"Flying... Lobster...?" She questioned, an inquisitive expression on her face. "What is that? And what's your best guess as to where they could be?"

[Empusa Sesshi]

"Ah, why a flying lobster is a lobster with wings." He shows a picture. "I suggest heading back to the tavern and asking for a Salty Mike, he's well versed in the aquatics of the area."

[Meru]

Leon approaches the tower, noticing a complete lack of door.
"Hmm... Maybe this is one of those wizard tricks, like illusion or something." Leon thinks to himelf, approaching themself, then says, "Hello? Wizard? I would like one of your elemental cores! I'm trying to research into the flying lobsters!"

[Empusa Sesshi]

Renarl blinks a bit as a voice is heard shouting from outside. "Hmm...Airya, go see what it's all about please."

Down below an air elemental appears to greet the young fish mage. "Greetings sir, do you have an appointment?" ^^

[Meru]

"Err... I don't think so. The old fisherman said that the wizard here had an elemental core he could borrow for his boat, so that we could look into the flying lobsters." Leon explains.

[Empusa Sesshi]

She stares blankly for a few moments...before vanishing. She reappears a few moments later. "The master says you're welcome inside." The doors swing open.

[Meru]

Leon walks inside, looking around for this master.

[Empusa Sesshi]

The inside is rather nice. Cool floaty chandeliers and candles proved plenty of light. The elemental leads the way to the study. There you see the portly mage talking with a confused looking human girl.
