|
YOU: Please take these items as a proof of my dedication to Azure Way. |
|
Menita: Dedication, and perseverance. |
Menita: They give you balance. |
|
-Menita raises your wand, and gives it a long glance. She takes a long and slow breath, before giving you back the items.- |
|
Menita: Return the items to their owners, as soon as you can. |
Menita: They will need them. |
|
-Her eyes become watery, for only a moment.- |
|
Menita: You reached a point where I can give you no more. |
Menita: Only the world now can teach you new lessons. |
Menita: You are a full Master of the Azure Way now. |
Menita: Give me your last adept item, please. |
|
YOU: Here is my cloak, as requested. |
|
-Menita folds the cloak, while her gaze continues to point at you.- |
|
Menita: As a Master of the Azure Circle you have to know some of the secrets of the order, something about our history. |
|
-Menita stares at you, waiting.- |
|
YOU: Continue please, I will listen. |
|
Menita: Your mind is like a pool. |
Menita: You and you only, may decide its depth. |
Menita: Would you like to know our history, or our secrets? |
|
YOU: I'd like to know about history. |
|
-The lips of Menita hold steady. Her eyes became glassy.- |
|
Menita: It is not the time, yet. |
Menita: When you are ready you will find this knowledge. |
|
YOU: Please, tell me about secrets. |
|
Menita: Secrets conceal dangers. |
Menita: Only people who proved themselves can manage to keep a secret like the one I'm going to tell you. |
Menita: The danger in it can harm many lives, not only your own. |
Menita: So you are allowed to talk about it only with the highest levels of the Circles, full masters of every Way. |
|
-Menita tightens her lips, making a short pause.- |
|
Menita: The texts in the Sanctuary hold knowledge about all the Ways, about artifacts of power… |
Menita: And it contains the complete version of this secret too. |
Menita: The position, even the existence of the Sanctuary, is closed to the citizen. |
Menita: Secrets are hidden in other secrets. |
Menita: I need your word. |
Menita: Promise me you will never share what I am going to tell you. |
|
YOU: I promise, I will keep these secrets. |
|
Menita: The first secret is the Seventh Way. |
Menita: Until now, I assume, you know only six Ways, but there is a Seventh. |
Menita: The Seventh is the essence of all the other Ways, but is also none of them. |
Menita: It is magic without the glyphs created by Talad. |
Menita: This is 'Wild' magic, something outside the rules of the Gods. |
Menita: Diaboli used it, since they are the only race who cast magic before arriving in Yliakum. |
|
-The tone of Menita grows harder, and colder.- |
|
Menita: Be careful, and pay special attention to my next words. |
Menita: Your level of power will give you sense of the existence of the Seventh Way. |
Menita: Temptation will strike you. |
Menita: And you have to contrast it. |
Menita: Otherwise 'Wild' magic will wipe out your very soul. |
Menita: You will be put to True Death if the Seventh Way does not destroy you first. |
Menita: Is this understood? |
|
YOU: Yes, Mistress Menita. |
|
Menita: The danger bursting out from the Seventh Way overreaches imagination of mortals. |
Menita: Two mages attempted to master it until now, and they suffered a fate I would wish on no one. |
|
-Menita pauses, closing her eyes for a moment.- |
|
Menita: Now, I have to tell you about another hidden knowledge. |
Menita: Something not even I wish to know, a threat to the existence itself. |
Menita: The Circles, especially the Masters, are fighting a war against this Dark entity. |
Menita: These battles are hidden to the eye of the people of Yliakum, but you have to know. |
Menita: Our enemy is called the BlackFlame. |
Menita: Have you ever heard about it? |
|
YOU: No, never. |
|
Menita: I wish to fill the pool of your knowledge. |
Menita: But my information could be only a raindrop in the abyss. |
Menita: None knows for sure what the BlackFlame is. |
Menita: Someone supposes it is a God. |
Menita: While others believe it is a force of destruction. |
Menita: I haven't the answer to what is the BlackFlame, but I can say that its touch infects and deprives the creations of the other Ways. |
Menita: Your path will surely teach you more about this, maybe it will grant you access to the Vault of Ages in Arden. |
Menita: Even I had that privilege only once. |
Menita: I was allowed to catch a glimpse of what is kept in the Vault of Ages, no more. |
Menita: That day I discovered… |
|
-Menita lowers her eyebrows for a moment. When she opens them again her eyes glance with a icy light.- |
|
Menita: Much of the past is hidden, and I did not know why, until my visit in Arden. |
|
-Menita takes a long breath.- |
|
Menita: You will understand, for yourself. |
Menita: Not today, but when your time will come. |
Menita: So you need only one last thing. |
Menita: Proofs hold truth. |
Menita: This cloak is a proof, and the truth is you. |
Menita: YOU. |
Menita: *Your name*, filling it with a new mean. |
Menita: A Master. |
|
-Menita puts away the old cloak and opens a sack, taking out a new cloak. She offers it to you.- |
|
Menita: A new cloak for you, a new master. |
Menita: Your path now goes beyond me. |
|
-She hands you an amulet.- |
|
Menita: Take this to Levrus, so you will complete this stage of growth. |
