Thalya Balworth (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=90729)<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w172/minarou/d51733c7-212f-4bfc-ad58-a6d67e51b00c.jpg)</div><br/>Thalya wiped her tears. Alyssa was right; this was no time to feel sorry or to put on blame. They had to have a clear mind if they are to find and rescue Norton.  Although Al' Rhayel's present attitude leaves a lot to be desired, the sorceress somewhat understands what druidess was going through.  She wanted to comfort her, give her some reassurance that she not alone, but they really had no time for all her angst.  One thing is for certain, without the light and hope, which is her nephew, despair for the world has deepened.<br/><br/>"Everyone saw it, how Norton slowly vanished.  I don't believe it was illusion like invisibility that was used in order to abduct him.  No.  Even though I am uncertain, I suspect some teleportation magic was used.  If so, there can be only one place he could have been taken to."  She stared at the looming tower in the distance.  "Think about it, it can't be coincidence that it happened here of all places especially with our arrival.  Even if Tenebrax is somehow involved in all this our only course of action would be to head for the Mad Mage’s tower.  Perhaps there we will find the answers we seek and Norton perhaps as well.”  Thalya at this point has regained much of her composure but she cannot help feeling anxious of her nephew’s fate.  They had to act quickly and decisively.<br/>
