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....
