*Once outside gathers her wits and chastises herself for running off and leaving Firebird. Turns around and heads back into the cave, a hand on her sword.
Sees Firebird leaning over the water and as she approaches cautiously she realises that the 'thing' has vanished.
Sits next to Firebird. Not taking her eyes from the water.*
I saw something in the pool. I believe it was a phantom, that of a long dead warrior. But now it is gone.
*Stares into the murky depths, now still again.*
Did I imagine it?

*looks at her.* i don't believe so. you've a good imagination, luthien, but not that good. if you're sure it's real, and if you were that terrified... it must have been there. *glances in again. there are only the ripples caused by her breath.*

Arwen thinks that she saw a face of a warrior in the pool...

*neither glances at arethusa as she enters, nor speaks above a whisper.* the phantom of a warrior...

*comes up behind them silently and leans over the pool, unnoticed by any of them. She gazes in and begins muttering something inaudible. The phantom slowly begins gliding up to the surface once again. He looks into Kessa's eyes and she into his. In them, she sees the longing to return to their world, to be free. The pain and torture he went through to defend something... But what? The heartache he has felt for centuries and the utter terror of the thought that he will feel them for all of eternity now. Kessa is forced to rip her gaze from his but he reaches out with long decayed hands, his lips moving wordlessly. Kessa strains to hear what he is saying and then realizes why she can't. His throat was sliced and ripped open. It now stood wide open, the front skin completely torn away and all that was behind it missing, including his voice box. Kessa returns to her hands and knees, her eyes showing what she is failing to say.
I'm sorry... what can I do...?
She tries to say these but feels as if her own voice box has been ripped out. The man pulls his sword out and holds it up and Kessa realizes he wants her sword. She shakes her head vigorously* You c... can't have that! It's part of me! *she lays her hand protectively on the hilt of her sword and the man adds hatred and anger to his list of sorrowful looks. Kessa jumps back as he leaps forward, the water comes up looking like a hand and grabs for her throat. It lands on her wrist and pulls. She yelps and draws her sword. It lights up with fire and the water shies away instantly* You deserve to be dead, filth! You lier! *she scrambles back, holding her sword close to her, unaware of an evil looking rash growing on her wrist where the water phantom had touched her*

kessa! *yelps in shock as the dead warrior jerks from its watery grave to wrench at kessa's arm. stares, bewildered, at the rash, which is almost blistering on her skin, and very gradually spreading.* k-kessa, your wrist... *can't resist looking back to the pool; she had been staring at it intently, even when she heard kessa's voice, and yet she only actually saw the ghost when it emerged from the water. shakes herself inwardly and turns her attention again on kessa's injury.*

*lifts her wrist and watches the blister spread past her elbow rapidly. She suddenly feels an intense pain on her heart* I gotta... gotta get outta... *looks at the water with fear* Gotta get outta here, away from that! *she leaps up and backs against the wall, trying to find the way out. Finding no way out behind her, Kessa looks at the rash again and finally sahkes herself on the inside,
Get over it, Kessa, the rash'll go away!
Kessa slides down the wall and pulls out her sword* I just need some fire... *she touches her sword to her wrists and it lights up with internal fire. Her wrist begins glowing red and the rash stops growing, though it does not go away. Kessa shieths her sword and lays her hand back* W-where are we, Firebird?

the moria caves... *luaghs suddenly.* of course, we're in the caves! the pools here have healing properties, kess, if you just dip your arm in one... though... *gives a sidelong glance to the attacking pool.* perhaps not that one...

*looks at the pool as well then realizes something* This is because it was a water phantom, Firebird. *lifts her arm to show it turning the murky color of the phantom's water* You know my fire ability, the water just made this rash worse because fire is part of me. It'll go away and... *struggles to grin* it doesn't hurt anymore... atleast not... too bad *grins weakly again and stands once more* So, what were you all doing in here?

Well it should be spring water that has come down off the hills but it has a heavy iron and sulphur content.
Just look at the colours left behind on the walls. It looks like rust.

Mhmm... *looks at the walls and then her wrist which has begun pounding again. She makes no sign of the pain and touches her other hand to the wall. She jerks back and looks at her hand. It too has now begun to blister. She turns and looks back at the pool. The evil phantom is staring up at her with a vicious revenge in his eye. She steps back from the wall and moves towards the door* That guy's gonna kill us all if we don't go somewhere else, and quick... *looks around as the walls seem to begin dripping with water. Hands seem to reach out at all three of them* This place got any other healing pools to muse at? Preferably without any demon phantoms trying to kill us...?
(that was repetative, wasn't it...?)
