*The creature seems to be looking around...and she sees that there are chains on its back...and small lights floating around it...it lifts the pipe to its lips and plays...the lights laugh and dance...revealing themselves as the souls of children*

she mimics the melody as close as she can... (while not a bard... she has been bard taught... so she's not half bad with the harp btw)

*The creature smiles at her...and she finds herself joined by a haunting sound...Kero's pipe...he comes out of his room, playing it*

*The creature slowly floats off, and Kero turns to her, a gleam in his eye*
Well, kiddo...now you've met the soul piper...and you've seen that, like me, he has his good side as well...just pray that you never see his eyes open...
*A flash of red comes into Kero's eyes when he says that, startling Shia*

shia sighs... yer almost as bad as me ma... when her eyes do that... it is best ye run like hell and pray she doesn't follow... she has her bad side too, uncle... but she rarely shows it outside the realm... and ever rarer there... i think she fears it... it be that hungry... shia shudders... and someday... someday i... i... might... feel... that..... she can't go on apparently she still hasn't come to terms with the fact that in essence she too is a vampiric being....

We all have to come to terms with that, Shia...Rhea and I had to as well...and you're safe...unless my eyes turn blood-red, I can usually control my rage...
Your mother may need what we Voidmages call a Decision Dream...a literal dream that lets you see all the sides of a difficult problem, and make a logical decision...perfectly harmless, and highly useful.
*Goes over and grabs a golden apple off his desk*
Shia...should I ever see you eating these...you'll be over my knee so fast you won't have time to blink...okay?
These are Logos fruit....do you know of the four trees in the garden of Eden?

*Kero sighs, and sits Shia down*
Okay, kiddo...there are four trees in the garden...The tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil...The Tree of Deception...The Tree of Life...and the Tree of Logic.
Each tree is associated with one of the four energies...Light, Shadow, Twilight, and Void.
Each tree gives a blessing...and a curse...when it's fruit is eaten...this is Logos Fruit...which grants the ability of purely logical thought...but also dulls your morals and emotions...eat ten of them without consuming the antidote, and you're stuck.
Any questions?

*Kero laughs*
I don't know, kiddo...you'd have to ask her...she's probably immortal because it's in her blood...not because of the fruit...
Now, I'm going back to bed...when I wake up, I'll go see yer ma, and give her that dream...play on your computer...don't touch mine...and when Rhea wakes up...tell her I said execute order 66...

*She finds herself pounced by a young monochrome quet*

*Rhea looks at her*
Was it 6, 66, or 666...those are three very different orders...
