[QUOTE="sophist, post: 2117555, member: 15148"] [SIZE=7]The Begining and the End[/SIZE] After the waves of darkness and light end, you come back to your senses. Diadora has sunk back into the floor of her temple and you have been ennobled. New sights and sounds assault your senses until you manage to gain back the control. You see that a man appeared. He wears simple, sheepherder's clothing, has long black hair, and eyes wise beyond his physically young years. Yet it begins again: an enourmous flood of images drowns out any thought. Yet, you understand: the tree that carries the world, Heaven and Hell; glimmers of other worlds rise in your mind – then Lord Entropy, earth's Lord of unfahomable origin, and the other Impetrators and Nobles. Too much. But even more images come: a vast darkness filled with stars, so large that could be reduce even the mightiest souls to insignificance – and an unfathomable darkness, a spiritual blackness that cannot be understood. Mercifully, it ends again. As you pick yourself up, the shepherd watches you intently. As you brush the dust from your clothes, he begins to speak: „ The Mistress has chosen you. The time has come. As you will understand your duties, you will see the need of your service. Yet great deeds always also take a lot from you. And bound in service your freedom must suffer. „But dispair not: But have been given one last time on your earth, free from the troubles of Noble life. You may set your affairs in order, live a time of joy and innocence or do as your freedom dictates. You have seven days, seven hours, seven minutes. Not a second more. Then you will be called upon for your first duty: Attendance of the Locust Court, to one of Lord Entropy's revels. „This is your last chance to have a time untouched by intrigue, when the mortals will remember you, when cruel secrets are still locked for you, and when your honor will mean much to mortal man(***). Take this chance.“ He nods and gives you an encouraging smile. „ I am the the Elatic, some call me a stranger. Until yesterday, I was but a sheperd, living my days happily on the green hills of Degg.
