Seda-echoes through the trees
Grand da, Ana says you have big trees. We have big trees too. When it's windi I get up in the big trees and we sing really really really loud. Mom always wants us too stop our screeching. Daddy thinks...
Seda to Damascus
Damascus ~ When are you coming back? Don't you know how boring the people can get here? And they don't want to tell me a thing... and then they get upset when I attempt to figure it out for myself....
Ana - Prequel 13
Via Forest Courier To: Seda d'Drasil Twiglet: Listen to the trees, see if they are speaking of me... I have been taken by Mother's family. Tell Father, if you can, what the trees are saying. It may be important. I...
The Window: Damascus and Seda
Wherein Damascus' trip to Chaska's (daughter of Fiona) birthday party provides Seda with a means to escape.
Seda's Photo Album
To avoid sucking up tons of space (and then there is my fun way of fumbling through the learning process) I'm linking in the pictures instead of throwing them out. We'll see how this works. Young Seda in the wood....

Julian to Elon
Via Ranger Courier Hand delivered, by a party numbering three score of Julian's Ranger Elite 2 weeks prior to game start My Son: The Fae are closing their borders. Soon such as you and I will not be able to...
Fears, Unbound
I'm going to go do the ritual. Grand da didn't talk me into that. The nightmares did.
Priorities
I couldn't let the day end without letting you know I love you. Whatever happens.
Ana - Bringing Home More Pain

Arden: Dark and Green - carmella
...from the papers of Prince Naturaelusus Via Courier To: Ana and Seda d’Drasil Ana and Seda Ward House is closed. We are settled in one of Prince Julian's hidden redoubts in Arden. I'm not even sure I know which...
Council of Trees
Ygg discluded council from Arden, anywhere in the Golden Circle or over deep near the Courts. "We are all influenced by that which surrounds us, and what little information might be gained would be colored. Better to speak with the travelers who are not attached."
Ana - Priorities, Reply
I know you don't believe me when I say: I?ve never chosen this path I tread. I just get pushed around by my dann and I?ll be damned if I can fight it. The Fae have me as their tool, their messenger, and I don't even know what that means.
Tynan Prequel #10
I suppose, by the Law of Guesting, that the next visit should actually be mine, to come to Arden or at least some point near to it.
Ana - Opening The Lines For Communication
Seda has finally taken Pattern, and as the paths are now open to her, I would like her to have one of your ebands.
Ana - Can't Go Home Again
Via Forest Courier Day Twenty-eight Seda ? I fear I cannot come home. Damascus has contacted me. The forests are burning, where she is. She seems threatened, surrounded. I can not go to her. She forbade me. Seda ?...
"All is but toys: renown and grace is dead"
Day 31 (:: Ana :: TRANSMIT) Find Grand da for me, now. You know where I'm at to even use this thing. Damn trees are too slow. He's been gone days. Bad news. He'll be hurt. I WORRY. Find...
You needn't be a Saint
Written Day 30, to find Ana perhaps Day 33? Via Forest Courier Ana, I know things have gone screwy, but you need not follow their lead. At least you aren't locked in a bloody room. I'm beginning to think...
Ana - More Perplexities
Sister, you must know I cannot find him if he does not want to be found. I do not believe he could be hurt badly. Surely if he needs help, he will call one of my hawks, send a hound, or have the trees tell us. I will keep an ear for the trees until shortly before moonrise.
It's All in the Inflection
I need you to look because *of course* you're better with Pattern than I. The trees are freaking useless. Even if you could just get a direction - an idea.
Ana - The Trees Stand
I really can't help you any more than that. Julian doesn't want me to find him, but it may be that he is only blocking me. You may be more successful.
Tynan--Special Delivery for Seda
Now that you can travel the paths and ways of Shadow, a mutual friend of ours confessed to me the need for you to have reliable, useful, communication between yourself and the other widely roving and traveled members of the Amber Clan. Thus I present to you the latest iteration of my creation, the E-band.
Thanks Tynan!
Day 1 (:: Tynan :: TRANSMIT) Thank you sir. Should be very helpful in an emergency. (:: Seda :: TRANSMISSION ENDS)...
Freedom and Fighting
Day 31 (:: Ana :: TRANSMIT) Out! he he he... Must face down da tonight. I almost feel bad for him. Look for the one note the old fashioned way - old news now - then another one with...
Solace in Seeking
I'm lonely. Amselma is in Arden and Evadne gone with grandmother. And you are never here, not that you ever were, much.
Ana - Words of Warning
The Firebeast. It is nothing but so much power, wrapped in some emotion that is either infinitely complex or brutally primitive, I could not tell you which. It wanted something. I do not know if it found what it was looking for. When it was done with me, it discarded me into the sea.
Inner Drought
I thought he'd be hunting, but what he's been doing is exhausting all the options - proving to himself his sister is dead. He's found not a hint to lead him to believe otherwise. And in hunting people down for answers he's answering so many of the questions I have about myself. I really don't like all the answers.
Ana - Flailing
I won't let her touch me again.
Ana - Lost to Fever
I fear… please, Lord Julian must come soon. I know he and Lady Fearna are eternally at odds, but he will see that she is Ana's hope.
Ana - Fled
I fear to write this. Your sister has gone, fled from here. Lady Fearna seeks her, but it is Lady Fearna she runs from. The Lady may seek, but I doubt she will find.
The Ardenian Society of Hematology
"The best lessons come from pain."
What can you do when he says stuff like that? I nod solemnly. I have no want to learn these things.
Sweet Sister
Hold on for me love. I hope by the time you get this you'll be out of your fever, and doing my research for me. It'll seem silly then, but I felt compelled to write.
Denial
Grand da is in the middle of something... important. I feel like I'm what's tying him to life while he's so heavily investing in other things.
Balancing Act
If all else fails, go as deep in the wood as you can and call the Hart. I don't know if it will work, if he can hear your call, but if not he, perhaps the Unicorn. I don't know how to call the Unicorn, but you could try. When all else fails seek the gods.
Ana - Amselma's Letter
You inquire about your sister's communications prior to her departure. She was not terribly lucid the last few days, after she began to refuse Lady Fearna's care.
The Lady of the Green
And now they never meet in grove or green,
By fountain clear, or spangled starlight sheen,
But, they do square, that all their elves for fear
Creep into acorn-cups and hide them there.
(And this could not be resisted, for the spiders play among the song):
[The Fairies sing]
You spotted snakes with double tongue,
Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen;
Newts and blind-worms, do no wrong,
Come not near our fairy queen.
Philomel, with melody
Sing in our sweet lullaby;
Lulla, lulla, lullaby, lulla, lulla, lullaby:
Never harm,
Nor spell nor charm,
Come our lovely lady nigh;
So, good night, with lullaby.
Weaving spiders, come not here;
Hence, you long-legg'd spinners, hence!
Beetles black, approach not near;
Worm nor snail, do no offence.
Bleys: The Citadel
Bleys arrives at the Citadel of Flamekeep and is turned away. Following up on Bridgette's proclamation.
Ana - Sea Change
As for me, I am much better. The fever has abated, and my mind is again my own. Do not seek me.
