<div align="center">Feldor Kelmaric (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=96661.msg4199702#msg4199702) in the clearing with Zedd</div>Watching the man struggle to break his connection to the node, Feldor prepares to intervene should it be necessary. His eyes grow dark with sorrow as a painful memory comes unbidden to his mind. A sigh of relief audibly escapes his clench jaw when the connection is broken leaving the man relatively unharmed. As the man stands and steps forward, Feldor smiles warmly forcing the sorrow back and letting the smile reach his eyes.<br/><br/>Stepping forward himself Feldor takes the out stretched hand clasping it in a firm but friendly hand shake. “Well met, Zedd Witlock. Feldor Kelmaric.” Releasing Zedd’s hand he steps back and sets down leaning against the great tree. “I’m glad you were able to get free of the node. I’m not certain I could have gotten you free. I’m impressed with strength a lesser man would have been consumed by the node’s energies. Assuming you’re here for the same reason I am I shouldn’t surprised the average person wouldn’t be called upon for whatever task is set before us. Do you have any idea what that task is? I was simply told to come to this clearing. Of course you can join me I would not have suggested it otherwise.”<br/><br/>Remaining silent for a moment Feldor’s eyes lose their focus as he ponders some distant thoughts. Looking up at Zedd with a new determination in his eyes he says, “Zedd, use seem to have a natural affinity for the magics of this world, but lack training. If you wish and time permits I would be honored to teach you what I can.”
