Chronicles of Caelan

I just got back from a travelling gig I was hired for (sorry, no Internet).  One of the patrons at work turned out to be a manager with the biggest Renaissance Festival in this region of the country and had it arranged with my boss for 3 of us to do Robin Hood for a handful of Faires during various weekends.  Of course we said yes, but we also had to leave right away.  We camped the whole time (which was niiice), though I was able to stay in touch with everyone by phone.

I know how irresponsible it must look to simply take off with so much going on, in both worlds.  I am able to “travel” to the Shire anytime I want (though very briefly, time is so different over there) and stay abreast of developments in dealing with Gasseroth.  I’m not the only one working on that problem…at this point, every realm on that side of the veil is working on it.

It seems that Gasselroth was in love with Alice’s mom and she was in love with the Fae King.  Complicated enough on it’s own, right?  When he found out they had a child (Alice), he kidnapped her and you know that story, for the most part.  We’re still trying to figure out exactly what his power is, how strong, etc. so we can neutralize the threat to the realms.  We’re also still trying to figure out exactly why there’s a threat to the realms to begin with, unrequited love stuff aside, because the Tome of Prophecy is in his possession.  Only a few of us know a few of the prophecies it contains and so, we’re trying to find out how that fits into this whole mess.

Speaking of Alice, she has come a long way in her lessons.  We moved into energy balls and defensive magick already.  There’s a noticable change in her disposition, like she’s building confidence, and it’s nice to see.  She’s a great singer also, not strange to the Fae, but she’s been helping me for a month or so with the different pitches in my own voice. 

Using various pitches makes a definitive difference in my vocal power and during one practice session, I managed to knock down a cup I had sitting on the cooler by my tent!  This keeps up and I could eventually knock ol’ Gasselroth down, lol…perhaps, anyway.  My next step will be to work on meshing the vocal power with words of power.  I’m not even sure if it’s possible, but I am an Elf…if anyone can figure the possiblilties out of something like that, it’s a magickal being.  Besides, it’s logical that the two would work together, so why not try?
