The Storm Drain that ran down the moutain that carried excess water away from the River Theeb in times of storm had collapsed and emergancy constuction had begun immediatly the collapse had revealed a secret cave. The workers often found secret caves they where usually crypts of dead White-Phoenix tribesmen as a result the workers stopped and called the White-Phoenix Warlocks to appease the spirts and work could continue this usually took 30 minutes or so as a result the workers made tha call and had breakfast. Eventually after 5 minutes or so the Warlock arrived and jumped down into the cave he checked the sealed enterance to the crypt what his eyes met confused the Warlock extremely the encryption language on the sealed door was not White-Phoenix nor was it any language he knew of. The young warlock who was on call popped his head up out of the cave and shouted to the workers:
"Get me Chief Warlock now tell him I think ive found the treasure?"
The Confused Workers obliged and within another 25 minutes the Chief of the White Phoenix Tribe and Head of the Council of Elders had arried he was an old man of about 60 his grey hair fell to his shoulders although he was aged he was just as fit as his young apprentice. He jumped into the cave and listerned to his apprentice as he updated him on the situation the old man examined the encryption before jumping back rather startled he sat down and adopted the a meditation position and spoke to his apprentice:
"You are right this is Elven. Close off the Area. Contact the Tribe and have them send out the warriors to guard the area. Also contact the President and tell her we have found it. We have found the Book of Time."
The Young apprentice obliged his master and within the hour 200 tribal warriors had arrived as well as 1,000 VDF Army Forces. Vetakan Security and Intelligence Service Paranormal Division officially didn't exsist unofficially they did exsist it was the Paranormal divison that was running the operation. A Helicopter landed on a nearby meadow President Wright herself exited and ran from the Chopper. She made her way to the newly discovered cave jumped in and began to speak with the Chief Elder of the White Phoenix Tribe:
"Is it true? Is it the Book?"
"Indeed it is Miss Wright. Its most certainly Elven. Thats not all Toriels Name appears in the text I can't deciphre it but the name is their." replied the Elder.
President Wright nodded and left the Cave once back on the upper level she whipped out a mobile phone and pressed the speed dial it connected almost immediately:
"Scarlet its Roxanne we have it. They have found the book and even more shockingly Toriel appears in the Text. Bring her Ladyship here ill meet you here. Explain her Ladyship and Wagdog if need be of everything. See you Soon."
With that President Wright snapped the phone shut and returned to co-ordinate her people. The situation that was developing now had the potential to change the world forever.
Vetakan International Embassy Conference, 15 Minutes From Theeb, Vetaka, 07:00
The duel roadway that lay directly next to the Vetakan International Embassy was usually quiet at this very early hour however that did not stop a black Armoured Limosine and Black Armoured Vogue Range Rover escorted by no less than 4 Police Cars, 4 Police Range Rovers and 8 Police Motorcycles speeding down the road blue lights and sirens screaming moving any car that was on the road into the other lane so that the convoy could travel at a minimum of 60 miles per hour. When they pulled off to the junction of the Embassy Complex the Complex Guards where given a very large shock when they went to check the ID papers of the Convoy and found the Vetakan Foreign Affairs Secretary sat in tha back of the Limo. The Complex gates opened and the convoy entered pullling up just outside of the Gates of the Wagdog Embassy the Wagdog Guard whom looked statled to see vistors. Black Suited Vetakan Defence Force Diplomatic Guards exited the front of the Limo and from the Vogue Range Rover. One of the guards opened the rear door of the Limo and Secretary Scarlet Rogers exited in one of her typical black ladies black suits. Her blonde hair fell down to her shoulders and she took a moment to gain her breath from the fast jounrey that she had just surived. Once composed she walked to the Closed Wagdog Gates and handed her Diplomatic ID to the nervous Wagdog Guard smiled and began:
"Good Morning, Sir I am Vetakan Foreign Affairs Secretary Scarlet Rogers I apologise for the early morning call but I request the immediate audience of Wagdog Ambassador to Vetaka Her Ladyship Uthiria Toriel Lathiriel nos Farlond . I am afaird I cannot tell you what it entails please just inform Her Ladyship that her friend Scarlet Rogers requires her Presence immediately?"
The Wagdog Guard pulled out a Radio and began to lay the situation and this beautiful womens request back to Embassy. Scarlet mearly smiled and waited.

OOC: I like this so far:D, ya I'll see what we can do. Also, my OF-D or "O-0" as I think of it for my army is alternately "subaltern" for the infantry and other arms, "cornet" for the cavalry or armor, or "brigadier" for the artillery and such.
Inside the Embassy Command Center...
Staff Sergeant Thomas Landingston couldn't believe this kid. Of course, so far we've just been going out rather than letting others in. Gotta change that... He then took the blunt approach, "So, Foreign Secretary Scarlet Rogers, yes?"
Corporal Davies replied back, tremulous with a raw desire he tried to contain but couldn't "Y-yes sir. What should I do, sir?"
"Son, when you've got a beautiful blonde used to power right in your face and asking something of you, what do you THINK you do?" He knew the answer would have to be his. "Never mind, obviously you're still too inexperienced there. The ANSWER, Corporal, is that you do whatever she wants; GOT IT!?"
Corporal Davies choked, but then agreed. "Affirmative sir." He then returned to attention, his AK-103 with bayonet fixed resting at low-starboard with its butt on the ground as he stood to attention and saluted Mrs. Rogers. "Wait here ma'am, if you may," he asked. The corporal then waited apprehensively while the sergeant inside approached the embassy garrison head Captain Fórir Kharíllion nós Kharlir, younger brother by some eighty years (an adolescence's worth in Eldar terms) to Wagdog's Deputy Secretary of State for Policy Uralia Tíliel nós Kharlir and an accomplished soldier in his own right. "Sir, tell Lady Tóriel that the Vetakan Foreign Secretary requests an immediate audience."
Captain Kharíllion considered briefly, Might this concern... If it did, then there was no time to be wasted. "Indeed I shall summon her at once. Superb job, Master Sergeant." The elven officer saw no need for undue ceremony when a field promotion was in order. For ceremony has its time and place, as do brevity and all things besides. Hard fighting back as a buck infantry Subaltern during the Wagdoggie Blood and Soil Party insurrection in the capital Tailville DR so many years back had taught him that, as well as being the only son of an even older (if obscure) elven general named Lord Kharlir besides.
Minutes Later...
Lady Tóriel emerged in somewhat less formal regalia than what she had attended the conference wearing, but still impressive-enough in shimmering purple robes to offset her spare mithril jewelry and nearly waist-length platinum-blonde hair. Standing some seven feet tall and as muscular as any other reasonably-fit Elf, she was a true edifice of a woman whatever the race in question. "Miss Rogers, a pleasure as always to be seeing you. Speak friend, and pray tell where else I am to be dragged this day?" The hauteur in Lady Tóriel's voice was more for show than anything, as opposed to the genuine warmth reserved for the phrase "speak friend," for Secretary Rogers had earned that standing many times over already.
Vetakan International Embassy Conference, 15 Minutes From Theeb, Vetaka, 07:05:
Miss Rogers checked her watch, smiled, bowed her head and began:
"Im sorry to disturb you at this early hour your Ladyship but their is a situation that concerns you deeply. I suggest you clear your Schedule and that you accompany me. Time is very much of the essence and I hope you will join me. I will brief you while we are in our way. Your Wagdog Guards are of course welcome to join us on this trip. Your Ladyship before I go on I have to ask? How are you on Elven History?"
Scarlet paused and thought about what she said. She beagn to realise that what she was asking was alot of the Ambassador what with security and what not:
"Im sorry I know its alot to ask of you without really knowing the details of a potentially risky situation. But I will brief you of all the details regarding this while we travel. What I can tell you is that we are going up into the Rogers Mountain Range and that on our arrival we will meet with the President. Although the mountains are best accessed by Air we will travel by Road as it will give me time to bring you up to speed on the situation. As for your security you can bring as many Wagdog Guards armed with what ever is required?"
Scarlet waited and hoped that her Ladyship would come after all although she didn't know it. Her Ladyship could be about to discover a new chapter in her life.

Lady Tóriel puffed up in half-mock indignation. "Miss Rogers, I can assure you that I am as up to date on my people's history as my resources enable, back to the dawn of the First Age in lost Cuiviénen even. However, there are always certain chapters less well written than others; so let us go to the mountains where the late and honored President and Lord Governor rests in glory. My schedule is so and hereby cleared!" After driving home that declaration to several startled human adjutants, Lady Tóriel moved down to leave while ordering "Captain Fórir Kharíllion nós Kharlir! Muster I say, with five soldiers beside and your full issue of armament for each of you, to follow the Vetakan motorcade in one of the jeeps." She then moved without ceremony to join Secretary Rogers in the car, by her leave...
Vetakan Motorcade en Route to Rogers Mountain Range, 07:20:
When the Wagdog Guardsman had armed themselves and climbed into their Jeep Miss Rogers and Her Ladyship entered the Limo and it sped away exiting the Embassy Complex and re-joining its Police Escort which again proceeded to ensure the Convoys speed did not drop below 60 Mph. Because of the importance of Her Ladyship 4 VDF Helicopters and arrived and began flying Air Cover to Protect the Convoy (2 Apache Gunships & 2 Blackhawks with Troops). Scarlet offered her guest a drink, Smiled and began:
"First of all Id like to apologise for the manner in which we have brought you here."
However now the Face of Miss Rogers took on a more stern face. A face her Ladyship had not seen before:
"What you are about to here has a Vetakan Security and Intelligence Service Status Level of 9. The Highest. The information that I am about to reveal to you is Strictly Classified and is only known to 50 or so People. The Information you are about to here contradicts everything that the Internet, Encyclopedia's and Vetakan History Books will tell you. I apologise for the back story but for you to understand you will have to choke it back as it were.
Officially Vetaka was first discovered in 1500 AD by Christopher Columbus. Columbus never landed he simply marked its position on his map and sailed on. The story goes that the crew of the ship experienced unexplained feelings of joy and elation and that the boat was flown over by a huge Majestic White Bird we understand to be a White-Phoenix. Columbus wrote to his log describing the Islands of Vetaka to be abundant in Natural Resources it would be this entry that would bring the British to the island over a 100 years later. However I will come back to the British Later. Now that’s the official version of Vetaka’s History. Unofficially we know that a Ship sighted Vetaka and Landed at least a 1,000 Years earlier that Columbus we know this through a very old book known as the Phoenix Diary that the White-Phoenix Tribe kept. The Phoenix Diary is like a history of the white-phoenix. Now the story that the diary tell us is that these Visitors where very peaceful and match descriptions of Elves or Angels the diary describes that their Ship was massive at least the size of a World War I battleship and that it was made of wood. Anyway the diary goes on to state that these Visitors came ashore with and be friended the native Vetakans and asked them to protect the Visitors greatest treasure. The records don't actually state what the treasure was all they state is that the Vetakans had to protect it at all cost. Now these visitors we believe founded the natives into the Modern Day White-Phoenix Tribe.
Anyway from then on Vetaka became a place that nobody went to we have researched Records from around the world relating to ships logs. We searched for records regarding Vetaka's location and we made a shocking discovery from around 750 AD Ships reported strange occurrences close to Vetaka such as people screaming from its beaches and using primitive catapults to fire rocks at passing ships this was just attributed to Cannibals. Anyway a year or go so the White-Phoenix discovered a secret compartment in their White Temple in it was a diary. A diary we understand to be from a White-Phoenix elder around 750 to 900 AD in it he vividly re-calls the initial visit by the Elve like visitors. He re-calls that they asked the Natives to Protect a Book. A book that had the ability to transport its reader to any point in time, space or dimension be in the past, present or future. Now the diary we found by the Elder goes on to say that before the Visitors left a second ship arrived and its occupants landed and proceeded to fight the first set of visitors however the White-Phoenix and the original visitors fought back killing the invaders. We understand however that 5 of the initial group died and that they where cremated by the White Phoenix anyway The original Visitors told the Natives to protect the Book until the Visitors returned that would be signalled by a Boat Showing Red Sails. To ensure the White Phoenix would not be comprised the book was placed in a secret location in the mountains and guarded by Magic that would last an Eternity. Magic that could only be broken by the Visitors or Descendants of the Visitors. Anyway as time moved on the White-Phoenix forgot about the book and it became truly hidden. Eventually 1634 came and the British Arrived initially the White-Phoenix prepared to fight them just like they had always done but for some reason they didn't captivated by what the diary says was "Red Sails" a coincident we are unsure. Anyway the British landed and where hell bent on exploring the Island including the mountains the White Phoenix refused and cast a curse on the British saying that if any man whom was British entered the mountains he would be sick until he left sure enough the British whom attempted to enter the mountains became sick and left and it has been like that ever since its been like that and has just been attributed to the Environment. Anyway this morning repairs where been carried out on a Storm Drain that had collapsed and well it had collapsed into a secret cave on closer inspection of this cave we found a sealed crypt. Its Entrance was encrypted with a foreign language we understand to be Elevish and even more shocking we discovered your name "Toriel" encrypted in what we understand to be a list of names. Anyway we have no Elven Experts and because you the only Elves whom maybe able to help shed some light upon this hence that is why we require you? Do you have any questions or anything you do not understand?"
Scarlet paused to catch breath and sip her water before going on:
"Alot to digest I know. If you want to return to the Embassy I understand and ill signal for us to return at once. If you need to update Wagdog their is an OBSAT encrypted Phone in the draw to your side. I have also some Earplugs to ensure your privacy? When your ready ill carry on? There is more wouldn’t you believe?”

OOC: Sry for the delay, tons of RL errands today and NS regional stuff last night besides:headbang:; but I've got time for a quickie IC-bump before I need to be off a while. BTW, is it OK if I have Christine leaving at this time ICly for home? I gather we're going to move on sparing Strator's slave population from AMF's overzealous wrath later if at all (assuming that was one of the own-RPs you ignored; never seen that before I'll admit...), so whatever agreement or now was reached she can head back. Oh, can we have the attackers of the White Phoenix way back be human? I've got a good angle for them I'm researching, since Orcs and such would be stereotypical I think; so can we have Mrs. Rogers stay a bit vague even though she'll obviously know more about what happened afterward with them (I figure the Elves bugged out as soon as they honorably could).

"Thank you." Lady Tóriel accepted the drink, then politely signalled for privacy as she used the OBSAT-secured phone. She spoke when the connection enabled, "Comrade...?"
War Office Briefing Room, Palace of the Revolution Undergound Bunker Annex; Tailville DR, Wagdog, 07:22
"Yes Lady Tóriel?" General Secretaqry Carolinus Horridus was in a good mood this morning. The campaign to smash Nicksyllvanian capabilities for invasion of Wagdog or its allies, or support of Zanski either for that matter, was just starting. And best of all, Christine should be leaving Vetaka later today now that the Theeb Accords are long-signed and the conference done. His body language made zero bones about how much he'd missed his common-law wife these past months; how much he'd worried, as always and usually within reason too, that the enemy might make a play for her while abroad to goad him into something stupid. "What is it?"
On the other end of the line, some thousands of leagues away, Lady Tóriel explained curtly. "They've found it, Comrade. The Book. I'm moving to help them out, and contain any possible compromise; is clearance given?" There was no hostility in that voice despite the phrasing, simply due concern for the sheer power of the relic in question.
Horridus understood. So, it was in Vetaka after all. Elven records made us suspect as much when their ark came over decades ago and their elders, Tóriel and Rilir first among them even though the latter lets me use his given name rather than the more proper Alárion, mentioned helping people similar to the White Phoenix Tribe fend off attack. "Asking isn't necessary. Clearance is given, and full authority in this matter delegated unto you and the Embassy in accordance with your status. Good luck." He then hung up as he knew she wouldn't mind, since he was a Commander-in-Chief with a war to manage after all...
Placing the receiver down, Lady Tóriel sat as straight as possible and said to Secretary Rogers, "Ma'am, do you have a description of the people who attacked the White Phoenix and slew five of our own? Can you describe them please?" It was a rhetorical question; for having been there and fought the enemy herself so long ago, back when her party of mixed-nationality elves first lost the course to Valinor and the Undying Lands only to regain it briefly prior to wrecking permanently in Wagdog and the present Age, she knew who that first enemy in this world was. Oh yes, she knew...
Vetakan Motorcade en route to Rogers Mountain Range, 07:50:
Scarlet closed her eyes and thought of her happy place which at the moment was her upcoming marriage to Admiral Jason Barber whom was off fighting in some far distant battlefield. She opened her eyes briefly to see if her ladyship had finished with the phone. She had as such Scarlet removed the earplugs and listerned:
"Ma'am, do you have a description of the people who attacked the White Phoenix and slew five of our own? Can you describe them please?" asked her Ladyship.
"Well we thought them to be Elve however descriptions made by the White Phoenix are vague. I believe them to be Human. The Phoenix Diary describes them as Human in mind and body but with an auroa of mystery."
OOC:
No Worries. Yeah sorry about the Pearce Conference thing with Christine I have had that much on in RL just lately ive sort of last track of the threads and my deployments on NS. As such im sorry this post is some what short ill get abit more detail up later when I have bit of spare time lol. Don't worry about delays. Just take your time with this thread.
