[QUOTE="Rybaer, post: 2372074, member: 118"] Pyior: [spoiler] Pyior dives down the hall and snakes immediately start biting at him. Their fangs are small and cause little injury on their own, but the venom they inject instantly tells Pyior that he guessed wrong. His arms and legs grow heavy and sluggish while every nerve in his body explodes in fiery pain. As his major organs begin to shut down, the lesson of his old teacher slowly come back to him: "Eyes of black, a harmless attack; eyes of red, you're surely dead." ***** Pyior blinks in the warm firelight, unsure if he's alive or dead. The pain is completely gone, as is all evidence of the snake bites. He is laying on a cool, stone slab floor in what looks like a small study. Well stocked bookcases line the walls, though the titles are in languages unfamiliar to Pyior. A fireplace crackles cheerfully. In the center of the room is a large table with chair pulled up to it. On the table are a half dozen lit candles, a heavy book, and a sheet of paper. Written on the paper, in faen: "Pyior Silverleaf, This is a place of magic, where fact and illusion mingle in strange ways. Past, present, and future are meaningless. During your career, you will attain much of your heart's desires, becoming one of the Diamond Throne's most heralded experts on the lore of creatures mundane and exotic. The book before you contains a record of every person's life that was or will be prolonged or shorten by way of your lore. One would think that an expert's knowledge would balance this scale heavily in favor of saving lives, and it will for some time. While your reputation ascends, however, your sanity will begin to slip away. As is often the case with such maladies, you will fail to notice the changes within yourself. Your advice will become inaccurate and eventually intentionally erroneous...just so you can see how the creatures of your fascination react. Friends, family, and complete strangers, all contained in excruciating detail with this book. Choose to confront your legacy by opening the book, or remain blissfully ignorant by consuming it in the fire. Either way, the exit will be revealed." [/spoiler] ***** Others: Ritsar places his ear against the door and hears nothing but heavy silence. As he places his hand upon the latch, his attention is diverted by a sudden noise behind him. Ys-Baddaden has stumbled through the dark portal into the room. He is pale, sweating profusely, and has a somewhat dazed look in his eyes. He finally looks at Ys-Korros and actually flinches back for a brief moment. "Brother...," he says in a shallow whisper. [/QUOTE]
