Upon returning from Castle X and a long cold walk back to Greyhawk City, the only thing Durant could think of was the need to sleep and regain his psionic energy.
It was late and he was cold wet and dirty, his clothes did not fit and he wondered what would come next. He watched carefully as he made his way back to Arztie's healing shop. He did not think he was being followed but if he was there was not much he could do about it now.
With just enough power regained he phased through the door and headed directly to his room, phased back to reality and fell into bed.
The next morning he awoke and dressed in well fitted clothes, went down stairs to find Val tending to some supplies and folding clean cloth bandaging. Durant leaned against the wall and stated how she was a site for soar eyes. This of coarse startled Val as she dropped the bandaging as she spun around to look at the familiar voice at the bottom of the stairs. She ran over to him and hugged him, after a moment she pulled back and said that there was something different about me. I grabbed her by the arms and said that we will remain closed today and we should go upstairs and have a nice long talk. She agreed and went ahead to make some tea.
Both Durant and Val sit at the table upstairs. Val, I have a lot to tell you, Durant begins with his past and the telling of what he did and the events that led to him being imprisoned in the great tower. How he had roamed the lands as avatars. And the being you know as Arztie is one of these avatars. When I was given the chance to re-enter the world of men I had to make a decision and that decision led to the end of all of my avatars and those of my kind displaced in time. I was trying to reset the field and stop the interfering being caused by all of my interlopers. As much as I hated to see the best of me go, that being Arztie, it was necessary to weed out the rabble.
I have and always will be what Arztie was and is to you and the friends I have made as Arztie. But as I have found out as of late there are many skeletons in my closet that are coming at me from all directions. I mean to continue to the good works of Arztie the healer but must first find my inner peace. That which I have done in the past must be righted and I have some soul searching to do. I was hoping to find guidance from my old friend Gerg but word of my escape has traveled faster then I have and I am wanted by those that paid a high price more then 12 years ago.
I fear for you and your son, your not safe while I'm around, I must leave here as soon as I can for they will probable come here looking for me. I will come back soon. I'm not done with the last trip I was on and need to go and recover Lucian and Aluna who I left behind. Val looked at Durant and asked what Aluna means to me, I told her that Aluna was a trusted friend and I feel responsible for her. That is all. Val seemed a bit more at ease hearing that.
Val asked about what to do when people come to be healed if I'm not going to be here. Durant explained that he does not poses the same powers that Arztie did, my powers are of a different nature, one thing is for sure, I can not heal anyone. For now keep the shop closed and we will figure something out when I get back. I care about your safety Val, tell no one that I was here. Do not speak of Durant to anyone.
I must go now, the others are waiting for my return.
