[Ysera laughed softly, her ears flicking in wry amusement.]

Ah, yes.

[She gestured vaguely away from the scene of the almost-riot.]

Perhaps we should walk and talk, so as to discourage a crowd gathering to watch us.

I'll escort you to the suite, if you'll allow?

[See? Totally a gentleman.]

[When he's not a raging asshole.]

[Some of the fans are already whispering again.]

[She inclined her head politely.]

I would be pleased to accompany you.

[As they started off in the direction of the elevators, those whispers began spreading. A few cameras were even going off again. Ysera steadfastly ignored it all.]

[Rule 34: There will be porn of it (before the night is out).]

[Once alone, he relaxes slightly, and finally can speak with candor again.]

So this project you speak of? You require other magical folk?

[By the end of the weekend there will probably be some involving Snape/dragon!Ysera or even dragon!Snape. It will be hideous.

It's a good thing Ysera doesn't pay attention to the internet.

She nods to Snape as the elevator heads up to their floor.]

Yes. I know the spells and rituals to shield such an artifact, and others to purify one. I am certain I can modify the casting to mesh them together, but I cannot cast it myself.

[Thankfully, Snape doesn't know how to use the internet, either.]

So what artifact needs purifying? Or are you - unable to speak of it?

[He'd understand if she didn't want to yet.]

[Although she would not normally speak openly of the Well on the Network, this was different. She was very much hoping Snape would assist her if he was half as good at crafting new spells as he claimed. And perhaps most importantly, she was not picking up any avaricious or nefarious fantasies involving tainted artifacts from him.]

I confess I am a bit hesitant to speak widely to one and all about it. But to gain the assistance I need, I cannot leave those who might help me in the dark about it's nature.

It is a Well. There have been others like it in my world, but none were born so tainted and ill. This one is unique in this world, and I hope it will stay that way.

[Little does he realize that Illidan will tell him of his 'gift' within the same weekend.]

A Well? There have been a few magical, enchanted wells in my world -- to clean water, or provide luck to the wisher, or so forth. But nothing like what you describe.

Ah, it is nothing quite so simple as an enchantment. It is a Wellspring of magic, you see.

This world did not have any natural sources of magic until the creation of the Well. But it is tainted by its creation, and to leave it be could prove disastrous.

I see.

[That seems dangerous, to give magic to a world that has never had it. THen again, what the hell would one call the porter drawing in magically powered folks, too? Little about the world makes sense a lot of the time.]

And you need to destroy it? Purify it? How could it be done?

Oh no, not destroy it. Destroying it would be... very bad.

[When the original Well of Eternity was destroyed it shattered the planet, broke the main continent, and sank the middle of it. Destroying it was out of the question.]

Purify it, and shield it from the notice of outside forces that would seek to control it for nefarious purposes. There is an ancient ritual magic that was used to shield and hide one such well with success. And there was another form of magic that allowed a focus to disperse and purify the energy so that it would not be so volatile and obvious. I would like to combine the two since the proper focus is not available in this world.

So you would need a type of magic foreign to your own to complete this?

[At least that's the gist he's picking up. Before she can answer the elevator dings and the doors slide open. Oh look their floor to the suite.]

[She nods and steps out of the elevator and into the hallway.]

Yes. In fact, it may work best with more than one type. The original shield foci were made with a collaboration of several types of magic.

This will be most difficult. Most people here are a variety of wizard from my world, though there are others.

[He'll have to see about finding other magical types, then.]

[She nodded.]

Difficult, but I fear necessary.

[She sighed softly, then.]

The Well is too dangerous to leave. ...If we cannot find others who use magic other than the arcane, we may have to make do. It would require changing the ritual, but it must be done if there is no alternative.
