Govell Mihdren |
|
YOU: Here are the items, as requested. |
|
Govell: Dedication and perseverance gave you wisdom. |
Govell: You reached a point where I can give you no more. |
Govell: Only the world now can teach you more lessons. |
Govell: You are a full Master of the Crystal Way. |
|
-Govell takes the Blue Way bracers and examines them carefully. Then he assents, slowly.- |
|
Govell: I chose to become a mage because of my father. |
Govell: He was a Blue Way Master. |
Govell: But I answered another call, the call of the Crystal Way. |
Govell: Sometimes I think about what I'd become otherwise. |
|
-Govell takes a long and slow breath, before giving you back the items.- |
|
Govell: Return these to their owners, as soon as you can. |
Govell: They will need them. |
Govell: Give me your last Adept item, please. |
|
YOU: Here, take my robe. |
|
-Govell folds the cloak, while his eyes look in yours.- |
|
Govell: As a Master of the Crystal Circle you are allowed to learn about our history, and our secrets too. |
Govell: Are you interested to hear them? |
|
YOU: Yes, please. |
|
Govell: Very well. |
Govell: I was sure of your interest. |
Govell: Would you like to talk about our history? |
|
-Govell half closes his eyes- |
|
Govell: … |
Govell: or about our secrets? |
|
YOU: Tell me about the history. |
|
-Govell takes a breath, preparing to talk. But he stops before beginning, and makes a long sigh.- |
|
Govell: It is not the time, yet. |
Govell: When you are ready you will find this knowledge. |
|
YOU: I'd like to know about secrets, please. |
|
Govell: The secrets I want to tell are for your ears, and for very few others. |
Govell: Only people who proved themselves can manage to keep a secret like the one I'm going to tell you. |
Govell: The danger in it can harm many lives, not only your own. |
Govell: So you are allowed to discuss them only with the highest levels of the Circles. |
Govell: Full masters of every Way. |
|
-Govell makes a pause, looking in your eyes.- |
|
Govell: The texts in the Sanctuary withholds knowledge about all the Ways, about artifacts of power… |
Govell: And it contains the complete version of this secret too. |
Govell: The position, even the existence of the sanctuary, is closed to the citizen. |
Govell: Secrets hidden in other secrets. |
Govell: I need your word. |
Govell: Tell me you will never share this knowledge outside of the Masters of the Circles. |
|
YOU: If this is your wish, I promise you to keep them. |
|
Govell: The first secret is the Seventh Way. |
Govell: Until now I assume you know only six Ways, but there is a Seventh. |
Govell: The Seventh is the essence of all the other Ways, but is also none of them. |
Govell: It is magic without the glyphs created by Talad. |
Govell: This is 'Wild' magic, something outside the rules of the Gods. |
Govell: Diaboli used it, since they are the only race who cast magic before arriving in Yliakum. |
|
-The tone of Govell grows stern.- |
|
Govell: Be careful, and pay special attention to my next words. |
Govell: Your level of power will give you sense of the existence of the Seventh Way. |
Govell: Temptation will strike you. |
Govell: And you have to contrast it. |
Govell: Otherwise 'Wild' magic will wipe out your very soul. |
Govell: You will be put to True Death if the Seventh Way does not destroy you first. |
Govell: Is this understood? |
|
YOU: Yes, I understand. |
|
Govell: The dangers of the Seventh Way go beyond your imagination. |
Govell: Two mages have attempted to master before today, and they suffered a fate I would wish on no one. |
|
-Govell pauses, his gaze is firm.- |
|
Govell: Now, I have to tell you about another hidden knowledge. |
Govell: Something not even I wish to know, a threaten to the existence itself. |
Govell: The Circles, especially the Masters, are fighting a war against this Dark entity. |
Govell: These battles are hidden to the eye of the people of Yliakum, but you have to know. |
Govell: Our enemy is called the BlackFlame. |
Govell: Have you ever heard about it? |
|
YOU: Yes I know the BlackFlame. |
|
Govell: I wish to fill the pool of your knowledge. |
Govell: None knows for sure what is the BlackFlame. |
Govell: Someone supposes it is a God. |
Govell: While others assume it is a force of destruction. |
Govell: I have not the answer to what is the BlackFlame, but I can say that its touch infects and deprives the creations of the other Ways. |
Govell: Your path will surely teach you more about this, maybe it will grant you access to the Vault of Ages in Arden. |
Govell: Even I had that privilige only once. |
Govell: I was allowed to catch a glimpse of what is kept in the Vault of Ages, no more. |
Govell: That day I discovered… |
|
-Govell closes his eyes for some second.- |
|
Govell: Much of the past is hidden, and I did not know why, until my visit in Arden. |
|
-Govell takes a long breath.- |
|
Govell: You will understand, for yourself. |
Govell: Not today, but when your time will come. |
Govell: Well then, one last formality. |
|
-Govell puts away the old cloak and opens a sack, taking out a new cloak. He offers it to you.- |
|
Govell: This will prove the mastery you gained in the Crystal Way. |
Govell: Make a good use of it, YOU. |
Govell: And take this. |
|
-Govell hands you an amulet.- |
|
Govell: Bring it to Levrus, one final lesson awaits you there. |
