The breeze rustled the leaves on the tall trees. Twigs littered the ground, untouched by anyone for a very long time. Yet, there lay a small cabin, with candle light flickering from inside. There was no sign that anyone had recently entered...
Inside the cabin was freezing cold, just the way it was supposed to be. It was summer time, but the nights in this area got very low in temperature. Almost enough for snow...
A small lake was just outside the cabin, leading into a clean, cool river. Lilies lined the edge of the bank, some with croaking frogs singing to the night sky, on them.
Mirixal was the one inside the cabin, sorting through the stuff he had left there a month ago. He expected Arizima to be there soon, having sent her a message...
So, Mirixal sorted through his items, being very careful with them, moving them with unlimited patients. He began to gingerly move the jars around, stopping occasionally to peer inside at the pickled brains of various animals. He had recently fed, so he was just enjoying the sensation of having but not needing to eat it.
He dusted the shelves with the pair of long tentacles extending out from his face. Mirixal did not know why he was wasting his time on these mundane activities, but they pasted the time more smoothly than just doing nothing.
He had a proposal for Arizima, one he was sure she would help out with. She had always yearned to know who her parents were, a want that Mirixal did not share. None the less, he had found something that she would be very interested in, and something he was interested in too...
And so he waited...

Arizima leap from branch to branch high above the trees. She had gotten one of Mirixal's mind messages and was heading for the cabin they both used as a safe house deep in the forest. Arizima had known Mirixal for a very long time and knew that when called someone its meant something big. As she aproched the cabin she leaped of the tree branches and walked to the door opening it one smooth move. Mirixal stood there looking like his usual calm and collected self.

Mirixal sensed her coming as she hopped through the trees. She was on time for a change...
He heard her open the door and turned to greet her, seeing only the blurry outline that his poor illithid eyes would let him.
"You are here... I have a job we need to do... interested?" he spoke with his mind. He could speak with his mouth if he wanted, but it was awkward...
He gently searched through her mind, recent thoughts to see if anyone had followed. The normal, untrained mind noticed everything, just did not register it all. He was currently sifting through the unregistered memories of her trip here. After a couple seconds, he was sure no one had followed...

"you know I am, or else I wouldnt be here" responded Arizima with a wicked smile. Arizima strolled to a large oak door that lead to her storage room. The first thing she went to was her small clay Box decorated in strange symbols. She opened it to find that her small crystal charm was still there. She then looked around the rest of the room to see that her boxes of herbs, books and weapons were also there. After making sure that nothing was missing Arizima step back out to join Mirixal in the main room.

He watched as she looked through her things, making certain that nothing was gone. They always checked to make sure, not knowing completely how safe this cabin was...
"I have received intelligence of a statue... a magic statue, holding a mirror. I have been doing some research on it, but it seems that the mirror shows the past as it was... and has the ability to send you back to that time if you know the command word... of which I do not... there are also some pretty valuable items and weapons him the vault that the statue resides in... Still interested?" he spoke directly into her mind.
He was not telling her that there was also a book... a very very powerful book guarded there...
He was willing to use her as bait if need be... to get this book...

Amiriza listened to the Mirixal talk about traveling back in time and suddenly unclear memories flashed throught her mind of her lost friend. She didnt need to hear any more that was enought to get her to go. " yes I'm still very intersted in going" said Arizima looking Mirixal in the eye

Mirixal could feel her looking into his eyes, though he could now see hers.
"We much leave now... the word as gotten out about... this treasure... we must beat them to it..." He insisted into her mind.
He set the jar he had been holding in how soft hand down on the shelf and pulled his cloak onto his back.
"I leave now... with or without you"
He then walked outside, crunching some twigs as he walked. He glanced back to see if she would follow... he was almost certain she would. He was planning on using the psionic abilities his race gave him to travel most of the distance...

Arizima followed Mirixal out the front door into the fresh forest air. "Well Mirixal how are we going to get there?" questioned Arizima, looking around to see if she could find some form of transportation. But nothing was there but the trees and shrubs of the forest.

(OOC: you play along too easy -poke- ) Mirixal walked back over to Arizima and held his hand out for her to hold. It glistened with the slime that all illithids had. Long, wicked looking nails pointed out from his finger. The nails looked like they could rip you apart, but they were in fact made of soft cartilage. Long many-knuckled fingers beckoned for her to hold his hand. "Ever been through a dimension door? It's a tear in the normal space-time, allowing us to travel large distances in a seconds. Most Illithids can do it only to about 600-feet or so, but I have learned to use it further, having need of it on the surface. I normally use it to travel quickly to when the sun is coming up, but tonight we will use it to get where we are going..." He imparted all this in a single thought, instead of talking it. (OOC: so she just KNOWS all of it once he sends it. )

Arizima put her pale white hands into his. The slim felt sticky and wet, and began to seep through her finger. "so where is this treasure located?" asks Arizima, ignoring the urge to pull her hand away. She had know Mirixal for sometime and was used to his odd apperance but to touch him was something diffrent.

Mirixal flicked his tentacles in annoyance, he could sense he dislike for his slime. It kept his body cool and at the right temperature. Without it his skin would be cracked and brittle. This is part of the reason illithid's hate the sun, it dried them out.
"It is in a cavern leading down to my old home. The illithids are trying to find um... it. Too see where they came from... It is an ancient mystery... Anyways, lets get going..."
Mirixal extended his other hand and seemed to rip the very air with his nail, as he formed the outline of the dimension door. It looked like door of strong light-blue light. It made a slight crackling sound as it was made, and a small pop when it was complete.
It crackled as it waited for someone to step through.
Mirixal Lead the woman at his right hand through it as if he was dancing. His long arms guiding her in first, then himself...

Arizima watched in amazement as he open a hole in the air. At first she was a bit scared because u could never be to careful with Mirixal but in the end she had no other choice but to trust him or pass up the chance to find her friend.

Mirixal walked through the door right after Arizima, feeling his body being thrust out the other side of the door. They were there...
They stood in a dark tunnel. The only sounds came from the water dripping from the ceiling.
Mirixal withdrew his hand from Arizima's...
"We are here... be careful, remember, they illithid are looking for this to..."

Arizima waited a few minutes for her eyes to get use to the dim lights, before taking a few steps into the tunnel. "Is it very far into the tunnel?" whispered Arizima stepping carefuly over rockes and holes.

Mirixal let out a couple small slicks, taking in his surroundings in echolocation. He had no need to keep doing it, he memorized everything, and then used his other sense to guide him.
"We are several thousand feet underground, almost directly below our safe-house. We have been right on top of this the whole time..."
He knew from the clicks, he had made, that the tunnel lead off in over six different directions...
