And so a Lady becomes a Daughter of the Goddess.

    Karranna reached the temple to find the entire temples faithful in a stir, they looked at Karranna reverantly when she walked through the gates, and once she reached Maryth..Maryth told her in an awe-inspired tone that Lord  Skai was within the main temple awaiting Karranna!!
Once Karranna entered the temple she was amazed to see a spectral being in glowing armors bowing down infront of the main alter praying. Once Karranna was close enough Skai removed himself from his prayer and spoke to Karranna. He spoke of Karranna future, hinting at decisions that must be made, and also spoke that Lord Drakhon was not dead and that he had formed an alliance with Lord Asmodeus, the Lord of the 9 Hells, a powerful god-like entity that ruled from the 9th plane of Hell. An enemy that has over the decades grown a deep hatred for Lady Whisper DragonMaw Daleal (due to her involvment on a quest for Mystra years ago that involved Whisper entering with a small army of dragons to the 9 Hells and assaulting Asmodeus  in his home domain...and stealing his legendary Ruby Rod that holds great magical powers! then Years later Asmodeus kidnapped Whisper twin sister Lleirea to ransom her off for retrival of the Rod, but Whisper and her siblings entered the 9 Hells to rescue there sister...and alongside Elminster and the Simbul the rescued Lleirea and Whisper and Amodeus dueled one on one, Whisper bested Asmodeus and believed she had killed him in  his home plane, thus he would be slain forever!After this she destroyed his rod in the Demi-plane of Magic. However, little did Whisper know that Asmodeus was a diety, and that she had simply faced off with one of his Avatars!). And Lord Asmodeus in return for both Elminster and Whisper DragonMaw would give Lord Drakhon anything he wishes!!!
    Then after a brief cryptic conversation, Skai vanished. Karranna bowed down to pray and once her prayer had been spoken a avatar of the goddess appeared, a large pair  of ruby red lips that spoke. She asked Karranna how she viewed magic, and a series of question about her philosophy on magic and its uses. Then finally asked would you freely give yourself over to your magic and to my will. Karranna answered yes, then the lips vanished and cracks of silver fire appeared all over the temple as a gigantic dragon  of pure silver flames broke through the temples walls and flew around the large domed temple then finally opened its flamming silver mouth and swallowed Karranna hole...letting the silver flames consume her totally.
    When Karranna awoke, she felt whole again, and stronger. Blessed by Mystra.  When she opened the doors a congregation of clerics stood outside the door, but when they saw her eyes (whihc blazed of silver fire, the dwindled away to mere wisps of flame, then back to normal) they all bowed and gave praise to Mystra. Maryth, the High Priestess of the temple, bowed onto one knee and took Karranna's hand in hers and kissed it. Then she stood up, and told her clergy too vanish or else extra chores be set upon all who stayed (of course they hurriedly left). Then she turned back to Karranna and pronounced; "You've been chosen, my dear. Such an honor!"
Karranna knew the weight of those words and also the words she had heard about Whisper, thus she knew she had to tell Whisper  of Asmodeus and Drakhon before it was too late! She bid her farewell, then teleported herself  to Whispers Tower, entered upon Marylaxes greetings and fled up to Whispers private chambers! But upon reaching Whisper  all she got out  was "Whisper I..." then everrything about Lord Drakhhon and Asmodeus vanished from her memory! and she regained herself and  told her about what had happened in the temple about Mystra and the silver dragson of silver fire!...Then Whisper put aside her book, and said "We've much to speak of, come child. I'll teach you so you wont have to learn such as I did." Then Karranna collapsed into Whispers open arms and began to weep...allowing Whisper  to console her....
