A New Leader....

*An group of three Elders would wait within the old office of an empty Pyramid that once held the office of the previous White Shrew. Here they waited for Ezekiel, as the had already made their pressence and business known to him, they waited for him to show*

*Having sensed a gathering of Elders, which was something I had not yet witnessed before, seeing only one at a time, and also sensing their want for me to show up, I IT in, looking around at the once was an office. I look at the Elders, wondering what they wanted, since I had just completed a training course, I was in limbo, and didnt need any help with a Study or anything* You wanted me?

Yes
*The Elders would take turns speaking as the told Ezekiel what they wanted to say*
This was once the office of the White Shrew. The White Shrew is the leader of the Shrews in the current dimension, the one who leads them in important desicions. Long since has that Shrew left, as many have. But now, since more Shrews gather, there needs to be a new leader. We have appointed you for this job.
*They fell silent, as though listening for his answer, whether or not he had a choice in the matter*

*I stopped at the "We have appointed you" part, as I was slightly shocked* You want me to do this? But, I only became a Shrew not to long ago, not to mention, I haven't learned many things about....well, anything yet.... *I looked doubtingly at them, not really believing I could do this* However, if you need someone, I guess I could fill in for now, until someone with more experience and power comes in to replace me...

*The group smiles at Ezekiel's but's and if's.*
You show much potential. However there is one thing you must learn about before being appointed. *the middle Elder then brings Ezekiel down into a room below the office*
Here I will teach you about the Greater Studys, and Crudus, Altus, and Eximius.

*I follow without question. I then pause before replying to the Elders talk* What are those? See, if I don't even know these simple things, how can I be a leader? *I was still trying to get out of being appointed. I'd try anything, well almost*

Ah, but you will learn them, and then lead others to know them....that is your calling....
*The Elder smiled*
Now, to greater studys....
*The Elder went on to explain all about the Greater Studys, how they were the most familiar to a shrew, and how they would probably use them the most. He then went into how they can be combined in Crudus, Altus, and Eximius. After getting through a long winded explination, the Elder would pause, before speaking*
Understand?

Um, I think I get the idea. *I nod, basically understanding everything* So, I assume that I'm suppose to learn and develop these myself?

Good, and yes you will, so start to come up with a concept how you can combine Teliology and Chronology effectively....
*The Elder paused, giving Ezekiel time to think*

*After thinking for a bit about what the combinations were, and after concluding that I would be making a Crudus, I would start to imagen different things I could do with my two learned Studys, and what kinds of things would be helpful in my current level of power. What could be helpful in a fight. After a few more moments, my mind would rest on something, as I then turned back to the Elder* Ok, I've thought of something....what do I have to do next?

Now you combine them....just like that, once you have an idea, its knowledge, so just use your Navitas to create it....
*The Elder would wait again*

*I shrug, understanding, as I grasp the idea I had again, allowing my Navitas to flow, as I concentrate on the idea, trying to bring it to reality. As I do, I extend my hands outwards, as my Navitas continues to surge*



*As soon as I started to really think out the idea, a wall of energy would appear. It seemed to freeze anything it touched, blocking out things which were trying to come in. It was a field of Telekinetic and Chrono energies, combined to make this shell, which froze stuff that it touched, in time and telekinetic and telepathic energies so that they couldn't escape, and not much could penetrate, unless it was not something bound by time, or the mind. Otherwise it would be stopped* Telichrono Shell, thats what it is. *I would smile, having completed the Crudus, I would wait for the Elder*

Very good. Now, let me see your Relic...
*the Elder would nod, and wait for what he asked*

*I held out the Prophets Rod towards the Elder, that being my Relic, wondering what was going to happen*

Good...
*The Elder would take Ezekiel's Relic, and as he took it, he siphoned some of the energy from the Telichrono Shell onto the relic, where it would carve out a signature of some weird symbol on the staff, signifying the creating of a Crudus*
There you go, it has been recorded....Now, since you have done as we asked, you are as we appointed, the new leader of Keiz, and the White Shrew of it.
*The Elder bows slightly*
The offices here are yours now for whatever use. You may call for us at any time for anything.
*The Elder again bows slighty, as he then vanishes without any trace, leaving Ezekiel quite alone*

*I would nod, as the Elder then disappears. It was a lot to take in now, as I wasn't used be being in charge. I would stand for a moment, as I then IT away, wondering what to do next....*
