Content Notes: None
Prompt: July 20 - Legend of Drizzt and Sword-Dancer Series: Unexpected meeting

A Needed Ally

Catti-brie would have given a lot of treasure to never see a desert again, but here she was in one that made Calimshan look civilized. The next time she was offered 'something different, something new, just track this wee artifact down' by ANY Harper, she would remember to say 'no'.

About the second time she broke a man's wrist for trying to touch her in brutish ways, she heard a 'ssstt' from one side and a welcome, if unexpected face peered at her, all pale in a sea of darker shades.

"Del?" Catti asked as she made it through the throng to the woman.

"You're a long way from where we met," the elder woman said. "Why are you in the Southron lands?"

"Looking for a trinket that supposedly got traded down here. Care to help me out?"

"Call the debt for the Moonshaes closed, and you have my aid. Possibly my partner's."

Catti-brie wrinkled her nose. "Ne'er counted a debt on helping ye. But if'n it means ye can help me before I have tae kill a man, done!"

"Kill one, ten more will appear," Del answered with a sigh.

"Glad as I met up with ye," Catti-brie said.

"You might not be if Tiger's still addled with liquor." Del's wry smile made her look a little younger, and Catti was glad to see it on her. She'd found the woman very driven, hard-pressed by her past, and too rare in her smiles.

"Dwarf-raised. Can deal with the hangover," Catti told her with a grin.

"You haven't met Tiger yet," Del warned. "Good thing you wear your blade at the hip; over the shoulder is a definite mark of a sword-dancer, and you'd be challenged to prove you can use them."

"I think I'd prove capable," Catti-brie answered with justifiable pride in her skill. After all, Drizzt had been her teacher.

"Yes, but it brings even more attention than just your looks."

"I should nae ask how many ye had to prove your skill to?"

"I lost count," Del said blandly, leading up a narrow alley before getting them inside a cooler building. Both took in the small space, lacking any person at all. "Hmm, maybe he didn't make it back this morning.

"So tell me about the trinket, while we have peace from Tiger's belly-aching."

Catti-brie settled to do just that, eager to be done with this quest.

Title: Wary Arrival
Fandom: Dragonlance/Legend of Drizzt
Pairing/Characters: Raistlin Majere & Dalamar & Drizzt Do'Urden
Content Notes: None
Prompt: July 19 - Legend of Drizzt and Dragonlance: Very bright lights

Wary Arrival

Drizzt Do'Urden was not a man to allow anything to leave him flat-footed for long. The tail had whipped around too fast, flung him back through the gate when it stole his breath with the thud against his chest, but he rolled with the blow, and came up, swords already back in their ready position… to find the gate had no visible sign on this side, and his eyes were streaming tears from the change of tree-dappled shade and sun to the glare of multiple light sources in a confined space.

Sound told him two bodies, both in loose rustling clothes, and the air pressure spoke of several obstacles in a small space.

"Deal with him; he's some sort of elf," a voice said, and Drizzt realized the sound of it was being translated through the arm-band he'd been gifted with, an artifact for translation.

Thankfully, it worked on his words too.

"Peace, unless you are in league with the dark ranger and druid I was fighting," Drizzt said.

"Magic," a second voice said, and now Drizzt knew where both were more clearly.

"How interesting," came a sardonic reply to that, and Drizzt could all but feel the jaded sense in the speaker.

"If you are both familiar with magic," he hazarded, "I can try and trade knowledge," he offered, smelling books and ink, "for a return to my rightful place before any of the archmages I work with come seeking me."

"Deal," the second voice answered, with only the slightest sigh from the first. As a show of peace, Drizzt flipped his swords into their scabbards, and ignored his injuries in favor of forcing his eyes to work. One elf, one… that was not quite a human, if he were to guess, for all the man likely had begun as such.

"Drizzt Do'Urden."

"Dalamar Nightson," the elf with bronze skin said. "And he is Raistlin Majere," he added when the once-human did not respond to the question of names implicit in the introduction. "Let us get our impressions of the portal that spit you out, and then we will decide further how to proceed."

Drizzt nodded once, and started working on his injuries, relieved that Mielikki's magic could aid him still — and aware that the one called Raistlin was studying him more than where he'd fallen from. There was a sense of foreboding, and Drizzt would stay on guard.

Prompt: March Thirty-First - Zanna & Niska are traveling together to Nesme

"Do you think I should use an illusion?" Zanna asked, toying with the reins of her summoned mount, watching the land around them, even if the road was so much safer now.

"Stars and trees, no!" Niska said, firmly casting that idea to the side. "If those asinine fools have not gotten past themselves in all these years, they can damn well shove it for this. You were as much a part of the defense as any of their Riders or our Knights."

Zanna grinned. "I thought I was supposed to be learning diplomacy."

"Not with these idiots," Niska avowed.

Content Notes: None
Prompt: March Thirtieth - Alustriel & Catti with the title "Big City"

"Stay close," Alustriel murmured in her partner's ear as they passed an almost invisible line in this sprawling city of thousands. Baldur's Gate was so much larger than Silverymoon in number of people as well as size, but it was densely packed, much like Waterdeep.

Catti-brie kept her senses alert, more concerned with protecting her Lady than be protected by her.

"Our own city, far more sense tae it," she muttered.

Alustriel half-smiled in her disguise as a wandering wizard. "So it has, in my opinion."

"Right tired o' trouble in big cities," Catti averred.

That got an outright laugh.

"Thank ye for coming with me; me first wizard's tourney and I've nae idea what tae expect," Catti-brie said, her eyes darting from one illusion to the next.

"Oh, it's as much a favor to me as not," Niska said. "It's been a long time since I could see one of these through fresh eyes." She smiled as Catti-brie noted the exhibits from the gnomes, with their attempts at automaton works.

"Me eyes nae believe half o' what they see," Catti said with a bright laugh, before drawing the elven wizard off to look more closely at the mechanical marvels.

Prompt: March Twenty-Sixth - Alustriel & Zanna at the beach

Alustriel watched her daughter scouring the sandy shores for the perfect shell. The girl was progressing rapidly in the Arts, studying with her and Niska and any mage that sat still long enough to be asked questions. It was as satisfying as teaching Mena had been, so many decades before.

She truly was lucky that Sam and Drizzt shared the care and raising of their daughter with her, and treasured these moments. Something told her she would need the memories of days like this against the storms ahead, and hoped they served Zanna well.

Somehow, she knew it was needed.
