Morbo enters from the south, emanating an aura of immense power.

The Mother Moonhart Tree.
There is a moderate breeze here. Singing a hauntingly beautiful melody, Miakoda, Maiden of the
Moonhart, stands here. Towering high above is the Moonhart Mother Tree, stretching her enormous
branches heavenwards. There are 5 kephera nature warders here. There are 3 fierce timberwolves
here. Hovering over a raised dais are two silver arrows, their long shafts crossed with the
points aimed skywards. An illustrated canvas hangs in the air here, supported by silvery ribbons.
 A striped badger is here, licking its paws. Its petals glistening with ice, a delicate
snoefaasia orchid grows here from a clump of snow. There are 10 frost hags here. There are 3
armoured owls here. A moon maiden floats here, her form swathed in glowing cloth. An elfen guard
strolls here, alert and vigilant. Covered in bone armour, a striped badger is here, licking its
paws. There are 12 centaur hunters here. Reaching up as high as the eye can see looms the
awesome presence of a living totem. In the shape of an open palm, a metallic sigil lies here. A
mature hornbeam tree stands proudly here. A wooden bowl holding beef stew has been left here.
There are 6 three-cheese frittata omelettes here. Lying on the ground, a blood red candy rose
rests sullied and soiled. There are 3 rice-paper wrapped candies here. There are 2 green dotted
jellybeans here. Serenguard Rivius Tarsuhl stands at the ready, his face adorned with colourful
warpaint. He wields a loboshigaru rapier in tribute to Volkh's spirit in his left hand and a
loboshigaru rapier in tribute to Loboshi's courage in his right. Morbo Gordian floats here as
pure white lines of force slowly drift away from his body. He wields an amethyst void blaster in
his left hand.
You see exits leading north, south, and through a vined stairway.

Morbo peers at Rivius unscrupulously.

Rivius shifts his eyes over Morbo with a look of suspicion.

You peer about yourself unscrupulously.

Morbo Gordian says, "You have betrayed my love."

Serenguard Rivius Tarsuhl exclaims, "You left me!"

You shift your eyes suspiciously from side to side.

Morbo Gordian says, "I gave you everything, and you left me."

Defensively raising your hands, you back away from this predicament slowly.

A sudden wind surges in from the up, gusting throughout the vicinity as Enyalida fades into view.

Enyalida throws back her head and howls like a wolf.

Serenguard Rivius Tarsuhl says, "No! You-you disappeared!"

Serenguard Rivius Tarsuhl says, "I waited and waited."

Serenguard Rivius Tarsuhl says, "I moved on, Morbo."

Morbo Gordian says, "I think maybe one waited would be more appropriate."

Morbo Gordian says, "Considering you waited like two days."

Enyalida Zayah says, "Hello."

Morbo Gordian says, "And then you said "well, he's never coming back"."

You have emoted: Anita's mouth gapes open, staring from Rivius to Morbo.

Enyalida tells you, "What's the topic?"

Serenguard Rivius Tarsuhl says, "You said you were never coming back. I held hopes..."

Serenguard Rivius Tarsuhl says, "But then...."

Serenguard Rivius Tarsuhl says, "Aeons passed."

An expression of longing crossing his face, Rivius heaves a deep, wistful sigh.

You tell Enyalida Zayah, "I have no idea. Morbo said Rivi betrayed his love."

Morbo Gordian says, "Serenwilders don't define words very accurately."

Enyalida tells you, "Oh dear."

Rivius jerks slightly as the air fills with sparkling motes of bright light.
You sense Ircria pulling on the strands of aether surrounding Rivius.

A frost hag says, "I see you, human."

Rivius pats a frost hag in a friendly manner.

Morbo Gordian says, "Anyways, I'll be right back and then i need to balestone you."

The Mother Moonhart Tree.
A light cover of clouds hides the sky in a sheet of white. Singing a hauntingly beautiful melody,
 Miakoda, Maiden of the Moonhart, stands here. Towering high above is the Moonhart Mother Tree,
stretching her enormous branches heavenwards. There are 5 kephera nature warders here. There are
3 fierce timberwolves here. Hovering over a raised dais are two silver arrows, their long shafts
crossed with the points aimed skywards. An illustrated canvas hangs in the air here, supported
by silvery ribbons. A striped badger is here, licking its paws. Its petals glistening with ice,
a delicate snoefaasia orchid grows here from a clump of snow. There are 10 frost hags here.
There are 3 armoured owls here. A moon maiden floats here, her form swathed in glowing cloth. An
elfen guard strolls here, alert and vigilant. Covered in bone armour, a striped badger is here,
licking its paws. There are 12 centaur hunters here. Reaching up as high as the eye can see
looms the awesome presence of a living totem. In the shape of an open palm, a metallic sigil
lies here. A mature hornbeam tree stands proudly here. A wooden bowl holding beef stew has been
left here. There are 6 three-cheese frittata omelettes here. Lying on the ground, a blood red
candy rose rests sullied and soiled. There are 3 rice-paper wrapped candies here. There are 2
green dotted jellybeans here. Serenguard Rivius Tarsuhl stands at the ready, his face adorned
with colourful warpaint. He wields a loboshigaru rapier in tribute to Volkh's spirit in his left
hand and a loboshigaru rapier in tribute to Loboshi's courage in his right. Enyalida Zayah
stands here with the wind whipping furiously at her form. She wields a shield of silvered vines
in her right hand. Shifting Current Ircria n'Lochli drifts here in a swirling vortex of ice
crystals. She wields a delicate crystal staff in her left hand. Morbo Gordian floats here as
pure white lines of force slowly drift away from his body. He wields an amethyst void blaster in
his left hand.
You see exits leading north, south, and through a vined stairway.

Serenguard Rivius Tarsuhl says, "Miss Ircria wants to destroy me in the arena..."

A wry smile spreads across Enyalida's face.

Morbo Gordian says, "Wait two seconds."

A globe of shimmering blue light surrounds Morbo, lifting him off the ground. A loud gong sounds
just before the globe of light suddenly vanishes.

Shifting Current Ircria n'Lochli says, "It's just practice. I won't even be using a demesne."

Serenguard Rivius Tarsuhl says, "To think."

The ground thrums as elemental energy momentarily manifests within.

Serenguard Rivius Tarsuhl says, "All the waiting he made me do."

Morbo enters from the south, emanating an aura of immense power.

Serenguard Rivius Tarsuhl says, "He dares say "wait"."

Rivius gives Morbo the once-over, eyeing him suspiciously.
