The next day after King Rune was told of the script from
the elven queen, he felt a presence. Normally, he wouldn't
investigate these things, as there was life coming back into The
Lands, but this was not life, it was a presence of nothingness.
::Skyla, I will be in the Castle, but I believe there has been
something living in here while we were frozen in time from this
land[/i]::, He telepathically said to her.
He then went into the Levels of Mortals, there was dust in there,
and it was void of life. That made him conclude that if there was
life in here, and it was mortal, that it would have come in from a
new entrance built, but if it was immortal, or even worse, a dark
mage, then it would mean that this was all a gimmick. He may
be standing on the thing for all he knew.
Then a noise came from behind the Antikythera Mechanism, a
device used in a parallel universe for charting stars and planets.
Rune moved it with magic and then saw a creature in a cavern.
"Come back here! Xarata!", Rune commanded.
The creature then got pulled back by the magic, and Rune was
stunned.
It was at one time a Dark Mage, but was obviously a dead
carcass and had horns protruding out of it's skin, and had no
signs of knowing magic.
"WHAT ARE YOU, BEAST?", Rune commanded to know.
"ithlirn karni oir!", the thing said. It then protruded it's horns
more, stung Rune, and ran away into the dark cavern.
"Nithar Kung![/i]", Rune commanded.
Immediately the cavern shut tight and shrieks were heard.
Rune looked at his injured hand and it seemed to be turning
black.
He flew off in pain up to his chambers.

Soon enough the poison had turned his entire right arm and his
head black. It would seem he layed there lifeless, but really was
fighting a fight in his mind.
"What are you?", Rune asked.
"We are The Collective.", The Collective replied.
"What are you doing?"
"We are creating more of us, so that we may be more.", it replied.
"Not if I can help it!", Rune Exclaimed.
He ran far, but did not get anywhere.
"This is not the skin world, individual. This is The Collective
world.", it stated.
"How do I get out of here, you beast?!", Rune angrily inquired.
"The Individual cannot. Only another Collective may kill off The
Collective."
"I don't want to be killed, you-", Rune stated before he was
interrupted.
"We are The Collective, not this 'you' that The Individual speaks
of.", it replied.
"So how does the collective leave a body before The Individual's
body dies?", Rune asked.
"We would need something else, we need to grow now, so stay
quiet.", The Collective annoyingly replied.
::Skyla...Ella...Someone! Please come to Castle Red, My body
has been over taken by this thing called the collective. It needs
something alive, like a tree, or a person, or something. Seeing
how we lack people to volunteer please bring a tree or
somethi...::
Rune then collapsed on the mental floor from exhaustion. He
could not get any more magic regenerated, and hoped that
somone had heard his request, because he was as good as a
human trying to levitate.

Skyla appeared up in Rune's quarters and saw this thing coming at her half man and half demon or beast. She dived into a forward roll and stood up behind it. "Hello Beastly over here afraid of a elf queen are you i warn you I am a powerful warrior you do not want to face me." Then a stinger came at her she flipped and jumped over it .
Elf queen I am not in the mood to be toyed with your a warrior not a sorceress how can you face me. I thought you would be a powerful sorceress and your just a warrior elf
"Little do you know about me you beastly thing" I will wear this thing down then cast a spell it will not forget Skyla thought the stinger came out again this time on the other side she removed her sword from it sheath and cuts the stinger off of the one side.
Quit toying with me Elf Girl I need to feed and I will kill your friend if you don't let me feed on you now
"You know that is really gross and I am not a elf girl I am a elf maiden that has power you cannot describe she closes her eyes and summons wind and lighting to knock this ugly guy down it works at first, Expecto paralysis's she says as her wand comes into her hand from where she laid it to pick up her sword a flash of light comes out of it.

The Black mage or at least if that is who he was. that was blocked the charm. This guy will not give up that paralysis charm works on anyone or anything. She moved her hand and a lighting bolt struck on the collective.
"Tap into your inner power a voice said remember what you read at home" She makes the wind very freezing cold and water comes down and covers the ground around the Collective host the mage. and ice comes out of the wand and freezes the collective in its space
"Now see if your that brave and can break that"
She went over to her friend Rune "Hang in there old friend I will not let this thing kill you She said a charm What has been inside was lost remove this parasite from my friend now and return to what he was a fire came thru her hand and burned up the parasite and she says treistus arise a bear appears and then she say groth speactreas oaklay and a red oak appears outside the wall and she uses her wand to move the collective in form of the bear to the tree and says Expectorate neveless Oaklin and the tree destroys itself with fire from Skyla's wand.
She looks at herself expecting to feel tired and very weak but she sees herself in a silver pantsuit with a white robe. Wow I am truly a powerful sorceress I have my white robe of a mage back you know i never was much for the word mage for a girl or the title of witch I would prefer to be called the "White Sorceress"

Skyla walked to the window in disbelief the tree was burnt that was conjured "I cannot believe that much power came from me. Maybe Rune was right about what he said in his riddle she thought. She looked over and saw Rune coming too she mixed up some of a potions that were similar to the herbs and liquids that she has for and makes herself if her magic gets spent to strengthen her again.
She lifts Rune's head up and gives him a drink of the concoction made for him I telepathically talked to him that way i can feel if the collective is totally gone from him "Drink up fair mage Rune you are okay now" She ran a quick scan of him and herself to be sure and traces of the collective were burnt away with the tree she did not feel anything for White Sorceress she knows stuff like this cause she remembered when she was the silver knight that she could tell if anything domestic or foreign was evil rather human or supernatural or otherwise, and she did not see or sense anything at all.
She set over on Rune's Chair and laid Rune on the couch to rest, and she read thru the spell book again to see if there was anymore about the collective that she would need to know if she faced this horrid beastly thing again.

There then came a time to the Mage when he lost touch of everything, and the next thing he
knew, he awoke back in the so-called "Skin World" and saw Skyla reading through the spell
book. He walked over to her.
"So it seems we have more in common with each other than we first thought, isn't it, Skyla?",
he said to Skyla.
He asks to see the book, and then sees the root name and becomes shocked. Shocked is an
oddity for a Mage. He then says. "Arata Ens Rutis!". A book the materializes in his hands
called "Book of Roots".
"I had a feeling this day would come, Skyla.", Rune said. He then opened it up to a tree of all
the beings in The Lands.
"Skyla, I am, until now, the only living being in The Lands to have seen this book. Now the
root symbolizes The Diviner, of which all creatures in this land were derived from. He and his
three children Magin, Elva, and Hum came to this world. I believe we can figure out which
child was in species. The three trunks of the tree are each a child, the white trunk is the
Mage Species, the green trunk is the elven species, and the red trunk is humans. However, I
saw a branch of the green trunk goes near the white trunk. I first thought it was because of
our powers, but now look, there's and erased line in between the two. You are that. Now
that line goes back into the white and green trunks, then ends at the last generation. This
my placement in the line is near the greeen white line, and have wondered if it was supposed
to be me, however, I did not know, until now, or at least part of it. You are a part of this line,
Skyla. You are neither full mage, nor full elf, but both. For all I know, we may be relatives,
however, I don't see any elven ways in me, so that is still in question."
