View source for Diamond & Kolya after his quest, 5/28/2005

* Diamond would have summoned to her chambers you once you were recovered fully.
* Kolya will come when summoned
<Kolya> (Did she really wait until I was *fully* recovered?  Because I was willing to come before then ;)
<Diamond> (well, recovered enough to be comfortable I guess)
* Kolya will be ushered in, probably by WR
* Diamond is propped up in a large overstuffed chair, close to the window, looking more tired than you remember.
*** Debbie is now known as Deb-afk
<Diamond> (Once WR leaves you are, as far as you can tell, alone with the queen)
<Kolya> YOur majesty
* Kolya bows deeply
<Diamond> Kolya.
<Diamond> I am pleased to see you have returned safely.
* Diamond is swathed in many layers of diaphanous white material.
<Diamond> Come and sit.
<Kolya> I owe that to Dovev, and Andrea and Ulysses, but thank you...
* Kolya comes and sits.
* Diamond scrutinizes you; her eyes are as clear and cutting as ever, despite her illness.
* Kolya feels almost guilty, because he doesn't have anything good, or ebven really solid, to show for his efforts
* Diamond seems to sense your discomfort, frowning slightly.
* Diamond shifts in her chair, her pale wings shimmering faintly in the sunlight.
<Diamond> Tell me of your travels then, seer.
<Diamond> Tell me what tidings your quest has brought us.
* Kolya nods, pulling himself together so that he can get this out without seaming too pathetic :p
* Diamond waits for you to begin, her expression unreadable.
<Kolya> The trip to Snowdown was not very difficuult,.  Even ascending the mountain was not too diffcult.  I started my preparations the 
  first noght there, to try and purify myself, and be more receptive to the messages of Dan.
<Kolya> The others camped near the summit, and I travel up alone.  They checked on me every day, and I did my best to concentrate on your 
  majesty's questions
* Diamond folds her hands gracefully over her stomach.
<Kolya> You know that I have felt uneasy about your condition...  And yet I couldn't say why, and no visions came to me about it.
<Diamond> Yes.
* Diamond pierces you with her gaze.
<Kolya> At first, my quest showed me nothing,, but I could feel myself becoming more in touch with....  I'm not sure how to explain it to 
  you.  The web woven for this country.
<Kolya> When the visions came... It was overwhelming.  I can't remember all of them, not all at one time.
<Kolya> I Saw a great many things, about people I know, and some I don't....  I know I saw rachel, and, maybe something that must have to do 
  with hayley, I'm sure, and my friend Andrea....  And I saw a great bell rining in a church, and every toll it played was just... 
  screaming...
* Kolya tries not to get distracted recounting things that are besides the point rght now.
* Diamond leans forward slightly, leaning her chin delicately on the back of one hand.
<Kolya> I could not *see* what lies in your future.  But I do know why I have felt so uneasy about this...  So I can give you somethign of an 
  answer.
* Kolya proceeds bravely, making himself look you in the eye.
<Diamond> ...What is it, then?
<Kolya> before I came here, I saw the web of your family's lives.  
<Kolya> I don't know what is going to happen, now.  But I remember what I saw then.
<Kolya> And Your family is not meant to increase in numbers, not now...
* Diamond 's lips thin slightly as she grows more impatient
<Diamond> You think not.
<Kolya> You will live.... or your child will live.
<Kolya> But not both.
* Diamond sits back again.
<Diamond> Your news brings little joy.
<Kolya> I am sorry, your majesty.
* Diamond is silent for a moment or two.
* Kolya says sadly and sincerely.
<Diamond> It seems I have a decision to make.
<Diamond> In the meantime, you shall tell no-one of this.
* Kolya nods
<Kolya> Of course, your majesty.
<Diamond> I shall wish to speak to you again regarding Rachel and Hayley, if you care to try and sort out what you have seen.
* Kolya nods.
<Diamond> At the moment, I am fatigued.
<Kolya> If I can write it all down, I thikn it will sort itself all out.  but I will leave you to rest.
<Diamond> I ... thank you for your efforts.
<Diamond> You may go.
* Kolya will stand and bow.
<Kolya> I only wish I could have done better.
<Kolya> . o O ( I'm sorry I failed you :( )
<Diamond> It is beyond your control.
* Diamond looks out the window.
* Kolya nods, and will go if he is dismissed
<Diamond> (you are :)
* Kolya will go off an brood somewhere, and then start working on writing down all his visions from Wales
