The Lost Must be Found

Fitheach Eun looks at the newly awakened Fiesty and the oblivious fae.

Fitheach Eun: We must find Savage and the Inspector, they could be as lost as Fiesty was.

Fitheach Eun: Maybe if we go back to Rome and find that portal Athena spoke of, we could locate them?

Everyone troops down to the first portal, its runes still glowing and walks through to Rome.

Fitheach Eun looks around with her keen elven eyes.

Fitheach Eun: Look this must Minerva's temple; there is her statue

Minerva in Her Temple

Fiesty Lotus is terrified after seeing a alcolyte turned to stone in the hall

Talia.Sunsong: used the mirror given to her for protection to admire her reflection instead

Fiesty Lotus: You sure this be a good idea?

Fitheach Eun looks at the fae and sighs

Talia.Sunsong: Will I be treated like a goddess in the next portal land?

Fitheach Eun: Remember that mirror is for reflecting Medus'as image.Do not look into her eyes

Fiesty Lotus runs to the wall and crouches behind it

Crouching Behind the Wall

Talia.Sunsong: puts spectacles on Rorn's face

Fitheach Eun: Can Rorn see the runes?

Talia.Sunsong: looks at the baby dragon "Rorn, do you see the runes? Draw them in the dust."

Talia.Sunsong: Rorn squints at the door frame. He reads by moving his lips.

Fiesty Lotus watches as the runes are formed

Fitheach Eun watches the crude drawings carefully

Talia.Sunsong: Rorn draws runes in the dust

Fitheach Eun: Tentatively she draws each one on the portal

Talia.Sunsong: "Good Rorn! More cookies for you."

Rorn with Spectacles

Fiesty Lotus grips her scrying mirror

Fitheach Eun: Suddenly as the third rune is completed a frightening figure appears in the portal

Fiesty Lotus: Oh Dear

Talia.Sunsong: hears a strange sound from the other side of the portal.

Talia.Sunsong: "She's coming through!"

Fiesty Lotus looks to Rorn

Talia.Sunsong: crouches down and repeats to herself. "Don't look at her eyes. Don't look. Don't look..."

Talia.Sunsong: "No, Rorn don't look at Medusa's eyes."

Fitheach Eun turns around and holds up her mirror

Fiesty Lotus hold her mirror in a stranglehold

Fitheach Eun: We must find a way to cover her eyes...

Talia.Sunsong: Medusa shrieks. "Who has opened the portal? Who dares disturb me?"

Medusa Guards the Portal

Fiesty Lotus: A basket or a scarf?

Fitheach Eun closes her eyes to concentrate and calls out to the sylph who had come to them earlier

Talia.Sunsong: feels tempted to look at Medusa.

Talia.Sunsong: "Rorn don't look at Medusa!"

Talia.Sunsong: The little dragon stares boldly at Medusa and her head of snakes.

Talia.Sunsong: "He's not turning to stone. Rorn is allright!"

Fiesty Lotus thinks of her new friend earth Pooka, but she does not trust him yet

Fiesty Lotus: Mebby it's them glasses

Fitheach Eun: possibly

Fitheach Eun: suddenly the sylph appears next to Fit

Talia.Sunsong: "Keep the glasses on Rorn!"

The Sylph Grabs  a Vase

Fitheach Eun speaks softly to the sylph; "We need to cover her eyes."

Fitheach Eun: the dainty creature grins mischievously and grabs a nearby vase

Talia.Sunsong: "Rorn, fly past Medusa to distract her."

Talia.Sunsong: The little dragon swoops past the shrieking Medusa.

Talia.Sunsong: "I will turn you all to stone!" cries Medusa.

As the gorgon turns to watch the small dragon; the sylph drops the vase over her head obscuring her eyes

Medusa's Eyes are Covered

Fiesty Lotus: Druid Sister get that last rune in!

Fitheach Eun quickly inscribes the last rune

Fitheach Eun: let's go

Fitheach Eun leaps the wall and helps Fiesty over it

Talia.Sunsong: leaps over the wall and dashes for the portal. "Come on Rorn!"

Fiesty Lotus breathes Thankee

Fitheach Eun puts away the mirror and look around

Fitheach Eun: where on earth are we this time?

Fiesty Lotus puts her mirror away and sighs in relief

Where are We Now?

Talia.Sunsong: "This is beautiful. Look peacocks! Don't try to eat the peacocks, Rorn."

Fitheach Eun: You did a great job, Rorn

Fiesty Lotus: Lookie at all them folks

Fiesty Lotus: The woman don't have no tops!

Fitheach Eun: we will not exactly fit in here...

Talia.Sunsong: "Good baby dragon." Talia strokes Rorn's head and he purrs softly.

Fiesty Lotus is scandalized

Talia.Sunsong: "Wow the women here are even less modest than Fae."

Fitheach Eun: I wonder what all the bull statues are for?

Fiesty Lotus: Men ain't wearing much either.

Talia.Sunsong: "If they have cream and treat me like a goddess, I'm happy."

Fitheach Eun: perhaps we should hide before they see us?

Fitheach Eun dashes through a nearby doorway: "quick in here

Talia.Sunsong: follows after pulling Rorn away from the peacocks. A peacock feather is in his mouth from him trying to taste the bird.

Fitheach looks at the young dragon and rolls her eyes

Peacocks
