Episode 79: To Hurt is to Heal

So last we left off: Bells Hells, after traversing the odds and ends of Exandria, finishing in the Shattered Teeth to seek some answers and finding an artifact that is somewhat involved in the elemental primordial history of Ashton and the Hishari people that his parents created and destroyed. You returned to Whitestone to prepare for a journey as a recon operation to the moon Ruidus, to discover what is transpiring there to prepare for the eventual assault that the forces of Exandria are preparing for.
On the eve of your journey, a ritual was attempted and hijacked in secret by Ashton to pursue what was understood to be his destiny.
However, it proved to be too powerful and nearly destroying him twice, through the will of his strength, his constitution, and a couple of well-placed magical items and spells, survived, losing an arm, gaining an arm and coughed up the Spark of Rau’shan. While seemingly something has stirred within him since this.
However, in doing this, it broke much of the trust and the calm within the group of Bells Hells and in this tumultuous period of time, this fracture has caused you all to take a pause on your journey towards the red moon. Deciding that one, Fearne, who was at the epicenter of confusion and hurt in the midst of this, wanted to visit her Nana and consider the Fey Realm might be a decent place to try and take a rest to recover and rekindle this trust of the troop.
Arriving back in the familiar space of the Ligament Manor in the Fey Realm, your Nana Morri, Morrigan herself, the Fatestitcher, the grand, terrifying hag that exists in this shadowed region of the Fey Realm, welcomed you all back. As well as realizing that your parents have come here as well, absconding from the Hellcatch Valley and looking for a place of peace and/or safety in the midst of all the chaos that is surrounding the Hellcatch.
Upon arrival and some comfort, some interesting conversations transpired in which FCG decided to offer the idea of team building exercises of some sort of a good, a mental health retreat for all of you to work together and try and figure out ways to resolidify these binds, which excited Nana Morri, who eagerly agreed to aid you in this endeavor. As her cackles echoed through the reaches of the tree itself, that is the skeletal structure of Ligament Manor, you all, those of you who took them, sip upon your tiki drinks and consider what lies in the days ahead of you here where time seems to slow to a crawl under Nana Morri.
