Dalamar and Raist
The Jewel
Episode 1
Anubis the Great
'Dalamar, please teleport yourself to the lab. I have something to show you.' Raistlin spoke telepathic to Dalamar's who was sleeping just a moment ago. He opened his eyes and answered him back 'Of course, Shalafi.'
He got out of bed, put on his robes and teleported himself into the lab. Dalamar materialized in the laboratory behind Raistlin. He walked to stand near his Shalafi. Raistlin was standing near the big table in the lab. His head was dropped and he stared at something.
"What it is you wanted me to see, Shalafi?"
"Behold! My new plan to become a god." He held a small jewel in his hand. The jewel was just a regular transparent looking piece of glass but you can tell it was magical. It was shiny!
"Wow, Shalafi!" Dalamar was amazed. His expression changed to a puzzled one. "What it does?" "This, my dear apprentice, will capture all my magical power. Before I will enter the Abyss I will charge all my magical strength in this jewel. I will spend two days in recovering and when I will be ready, I will challenge Takhisis and after I will defeat her, I will become a god!" {Lighting struck outside though it was a beautiful morning.weird}.
"Wow, Shalafi! Can it really happen?"
"Theoretically speaking, of course!" He continued gazing at his new creation. "Dalamar, are you pondering what I'm pondering?" he asked Dalamar.
"I think so Raistlin, but wouldn't it be easier just giving the flamingoes shorter legs?"
Raistlin looked at Dalamar from the corner of the eye but then shrugged. Dalamar is not the same ever since he invoked that demon from the Abyss. His been acting and saying the strangest things since then.
"Rrrrrright rolling eyes. Anyway, all there is to it now is to concentrate and give it my best shot at charging the jewel. After I'm passed out cold, could you at least teleport me to my bed, Dalamar? That will be helpful."
"Sure, Shalafi! No problem."
Raistlin started to chant "Great powers of beyond.I summon thee!" {Cue the Lightning strikes and the wind}. "Hear my call!" Holding the jewel high . "Powers of magic! Concentrate and fill this jewel!" a bolt of lightning struck the jewel but no harm came to it or Raistlin. And then it all stopped. The wind ceased immediately and the lighting stopped as well. Raistlin's eyes were closed. He slowly lowered the jewel and then opened his eyes slightly. "It worked!" he cried in triumph. Dalamar's eyes were closed too but at the sound of his Shalafi's voice, he opened them. Raistlin was jumping up and down like a maniac, holding the jewel in his hand. The magic had worked. The jewel was gleaming in multicolored light.
"I did it! I did it!" Raistlin jumped up and down in enthusiasm.
"Congratulations, Shalafi!" said Dalamar and clapped his hands.
"Wait a second." Raistlin stopped his little dance of happiness and looked at the jewel. Raistlin looked up at Dalamar and fell to his knees.
"Shalafi!" Dalamar cried and ran to his master. "Are you alright?" he asked him as he was bending down to help him up.
"The jewel. It probably took all my strength. But I will recover. Now help me up." He reached out and grabbed Dalamar's hand. He staggered to his feet but Dalamar supported him before he will fall down again. "I think you need to lay down."
"I think so too. Just take care of the jewel and don't try to use it! Understood???" he asked and eyed Dalamar as he was half carried half dragged to the center of the laboratory.
"Yes, Shalafi!" Dalamar teleported him to his bedroom. He covered him with blankets and closed the door as he left.
Two days later
Raistlin opens his eyes. He was laying in his bed, covered with blankets. He got up from his bed and changed his robes. He looked at the mirror. He was sleeping for two days now and all his wrinkles had disappeared from beneath his eyes. 'The jewel!' he thought to himself and teleported strait to the lab.
Dalamar was there, studying a spell book. He wasn't aware of his master's presence. Raistlin walked to Dalamar quietly and tapped on his shoulder. This caused Dalamar to start and jump at is seat. He turned around clutching his chest.
"Shalafi! It's you." he breathed deeply.
"Where is the jewel?" asked Raistlin searching for it with his eyes.
"Right here. I kept it exactly as it was."
He walked to a small drawer where two days ago his master fell after doing a dance of joy. He pulled out the jewel and gave it to Raistlin.
"I am ready!" Raistlin said and held the jewel high.
"But Shalafi...How do you intend to go into the Abyss? I mean, don't you need a cleric of Paladine?"
Raistlin looked alarmed. "You're right! I haven't thought of that! Well, there's only one thing to do."
Picture change
"Oh, you gotta be kidding me! I'm not going in there again! Forget it!"
"But, Lady Crysania, understand."
"I don't want to understand! Last time you left me bleeding and blind in the Abyss! If it wasn't for Caramon I'd still be there!"
"Please, you must!" Raistlin pleaded.
"No, I mustn't! I'm going now!" Crysania headed for the door of the laboratory but Raistlin blocked her way.
"Wait, Crysania! I need you!"
"Like you needed me last time?"
"That was deferent!"
"Deferent? How? This time you won't go into the Abyss? This time you're not going to challenge Takhisis? Give me a break, will you?! It's the same thing!"
"No it isn't! This time I have help from beyond my body! I will have powers from the jewel."
"Jewel? What jewel?"
"The jewel I placed all my magical powers in. This time, if I get weak from fighting Takhisis, I will draw power from the jewel!"
"I heard enough!" Crysania was storming towards the door again.
"Please! Wait!" Raistlin cried to her. "I wanted to tell you that I have dreamt of you." Crysania suddenly stopped and turned her head slightly.
"You lie! I can sense it in your voice!" she turned and walked one quick step.
"No! I'm not lying! I loved you, Crysania. And you loved me too."
"That was a long time ago. I have changed."
"So have I! Can't you believe me?" his voice was pleading.
"How can I trust you again?"
"You can't. Couldn't you at least take your chances with me once more?" he got close to her.
She sighed heavily. "Fine! I'll do it! But swear to me, swear it by your existence, swear to me by your honor. No, wait, you're not a knight...Swear to me by your magic!" Raistlin gasped slightly. "Swear it to me!" Crysania cried
"I swear!"
Picture change
Raistlin and Crysania are standing in front of the gateway to the Abyss.
"Start pray to Paladine.I will chant my magic." "Paladine, Platinum Dragon, your faithful servant comes before you and begs that you shed your blessing upon her. Her eyes are open to your light. At last, she understands what you have, in your wisdom, been trying to teach her. Hear her prayer, Radiant One. Be with her. Open this Portal so that she may enter and go forward bearing your torch. Walk with her as she strives to banish the darkness!" Crysania chanted the words she chanted few years earlier. "Thank you for granting my prayer, God of Light. I will be worthy of you!"
Then Raistlin started to chant. The Portal was already starting to open. All was depended on this. Crysania had done her part. Now all there is to it is to chant the spell which unlock the Portal's entrance. "Black dragon. From darkness to darknessmy voice echoes in emptiness." The Portal started to change. The eyes of the dragons glittered in different colors. One was black, one was white, another was red and the one below him was green and across from it was the blue.
"White dragon. From this world to the nextmy voice cries with life." The center of the Portal begin to swirl.
"Red dragon. From darkness to darkness I shoutbeneath my feet all is made firm!" The eyes begin to glitter even stronger.
"Blue dragon. Time that flowshold in your course!" The swirling in the center of the Portal is quickening by the second. The last chant:
"Green dragon. Because by fate even the gods are cast downweep ye with me!" The chant is over. A great light sprang from within the Portal and sucked Crysania and Raistlin in. The pain Raistlin felt two years ago had come to torture him again, but it was all over in a second.
When he woke up, he found himself lying on the flat barren land of the Abyss. He got up quickly. He felt his pocket- the jewel was there. Now he needs to find Takhisis- that will take a second and then he will become a god! But first a little dance. He danced to his pleasure and then suddenly stopped. 'Where's Crysania?' he thought. He looked around and found her laying on the ground few feet away from him. She passed out so Raistlin did what he had learned was best to do in cases of unconsciousness. He thought up something and when that materialized he splashed the cold water from the bucket on Crysania. She opened her eyes and sat up strait, gasping for breath.
"Are you mad???" she shouted at him. "I could have drowned!"
"No, you wouldn't have! Now come on. I need to find Takhisis and get this stupid little 'Battle to the Death' over with." He helped her up and took her hand in his.
"Don't be afraid." He said to her. Not very comforting when you're blind and in the Abyss. Oh well. Raistlin imagined that he was near Takhisis. In front of his stood a beautiful, desirable woman- the Dark Temptress. But that vision disappeared when she saw Raistlin. "You again! Puny human, haven't you learned? I'm more powerful than you." She changed into the dread five headed dragon.
"Not this time my Queen. This time I have the jewel that will cause you to wither and die!"
"A jewel?!" she laughed. "Come here and I shall teach you pain!" the green head made a lunge for it but missed. "Sit still while I rip you the shreds!" she yelled to Raistlin.
"Yeah! Sure! Powers of magic, I invoke thee! Grant me the power that this jewel hold!" Raistlin held the jewel high but Takhisis whacked it off with her clawed paw. The jewel flew out of Raistlin's hand and landed on the floor. Or should I say 'smashed to million tiny pieces'?
Yes, the jewel was smashed and all it's power were leaking out of it.
"NO!" Raistlin yelled and ran towards the shattered jewel.
"Yes! No feel my wrath!" all the dragon heads opened up, preparing to blow the deadly powers it had on Raistlin.
"Raistlin? What's going on?" Crysania yelled to Raistlin.
"Er, nothing! We need to leave!" he grabbed her and imagined his way to the Portal. He went through it, leaving Takhisis with her rage. He closed the Portal and all was silent once more.
"What happened?" Crysania asked.
"The jewel smashed on the floor."
"Oh! It wasn't strong enough to contain the powerful magic?"
"I don't think so. You see, I made it from cheap glass." He slammed his fist on the laboratory's table. "Damn it! I knew I should have made it from crystal. It's much stronger!"
Dalamar entered the lab and asked his Shalafi what happened. Raistlin explained the thing and Dalamar just nodded.
"So what do you want to do tomorrow night?" he asked him
"Same thing we do every night, Dalamar. Try to make me a god!"
They're Dalamar, they're Dalamar and Raist Raist Raist Raist Raist Raist Raist Raist Raist!
