The Elder watched him closely a frown forming on her face. His movements were not right and there was something off about his words. She was sure this was not now he normally acted. She had met an elf or two in her time but this one…She looked to what he’d spat out earlier and the frown deepening when she realized what it was. He rambled on her attention solely focused on him. Though he may have been under the effects of the root it did not make any of what he said untrue. It broke her heart to hear more about his side and the sacrifices made by his fellow elves. There was going to be a fight soon. To have all those elves defeated did not bode well with how their forces would do in their current condition.<br/><br/>Mind trying to come up with a plan she snapped her head back to him when he said he closed the portal. The other witches in the room listened more intently as he spoke but she waved her hand, freezing them all in place right before he could say ‘Master Key’. They would hear and remember nothing when she released them but for now they would remain like that. right then she had far more pressing matters. He was talking about things he should not be talking about in the open like that. Abigail slowly started to stir but she wasn’t paying attention to that. Her focus was on that elf.<br/><br/>Using as calm a tone as she could she nodded her head at his request but said; “Master elf, you must be careful what you say. These are not kind times and we do not know who could be listening. You need rest. You’ve taken too much of the root.” Concern covered her face as he talked more her head shaking as she tried to figure out a way to reach him. If he ran around saying any more about the Master Key he would be in danger. “I will do what I can but we have to tell her. She can help, more than you realize.”<br/><br/>She lifted a hand and held out something to him that she’d taken from inside her coat pocket. It kind of looked like a Jolley Rancher yet different. “This will help with the side effects of the root. It will dissolve on your tongue. The results will be almost instantaneous.  Please you must calm yourself and listen to what you are saying.” She said as Abigail mumbled gibberish as she woke. Holding her head she looked around a frown crossing her own face.<br/><br/>“What is going on?” She asked seeing her coven frozen around her.
