Koron and Farshan discussed the situation, while Farshan cleaned and dressed Vyci's wounds. Farshan was a minor healer as well, and managed to get them partially healed before Zy burst out of the linen closet.
"Ta DA! How do you like it?" Zy had shape changed, and found an old battered sheet, which she had formed into a toga-like garment.
Farshan clapped, laughing. "Only you, Lady Zysny, would find something odd like that to wear. Vyci, do you have something decent to dress the girl in?"
"Not sure, I'll check," said Vyci who was feeling considerably better. "Shall I get us something to eat while I'm at it?"
"Actually, yes, but hurry, we're kind of pressed for time," explained Zysny.
"Lady Zysny…what is going on with everything? It feels all strange to me," whispered Vyci, who couldn't mind speak, but could understand it.
:Go, I'll tell you on the way.: Zy commanded. Zy proceeded to tell her all that she knew, and also to Farshan. Farshan then took his turn explaining what had happened at the palace and Vyci's story. As Zy listened, things started to come together.
After she had left the palace, Wöryn was outraged, and ordered everyone to put up magical shields. He unfortunately knew what the others did not, that Valdemar was under attack by something that could control temporal elements. This power could strike at any moment, and was caused by something that no one could tell but Yaeh. The magical fountain in the center of the ballroom had exploded in a fire of rainbow colors. Although many people were stunned, most of the heralds and herald mages came out of things alive. The problem was that at the same moment the fountain had erupted, the palace was hit by an energy swipe. This left most of the persons with magic in the palace completely unable to do anything. Except for the few whom had shape changed into animals before the attack. It seemed that Zy was the only one of these.
Around the same time of the explosion, many of the companions had been cut off from communication. Since the companions were mostly the backup plan if anything happened, it seemed that there was nothing to be done until a half hour later when most people had recovered from the energy swipe. It seemed that everything was normal, until when Vyci's story came in.
Vyci had not been affected from either the energy swipe or the fountain, since she was not a magical person. Most of the servants had begun to tend for the magical folk, without knowledge of how to do it. Vyci had been straightening her room after tending for some of the mages. She had then stumbled upon two hawks, which looked much like her friends Koron and Zysny. Apparently the enemy wanted her too, since she had welcomed them in only to be brainwashed by them. Vyci had fought against that, and struck the girl who looked like Zy, and both the girl and the bird disappeared.
Zy mused at this for a moment, and Vyci walked back in with two trays laden with food, and a pair of pants and tunic for Zysny.
"Lady Zysny, do you understand this?" asked Vyci, who was tearing into a roll.
"Not really. I think that Emiri, Yaeh and Tjarah are obviously in danger as well though."
