[QUOTE="Tellerian Hawke, post: 7079856, member: 6790669"] [gm] This section is told in narrative form, to save time with formatting. [/gm] Vega sits down, and relates a strange tale to the party; she says that Margull took her straight to his office, which he referred to as his "inner sanctum." She thought the term strange, since it was so anachronistic / rarely used in modern speech. She says that he wanted her to feel at ease, so they drank two bottles of wine together, while making small talk. She says that at some point, she must have fallen asleep; but when she woke, Margull was at his desk, reading from a large, ancient text. He was fiddling with some sort of crystal globe, to no visible result. At that point, Margull asked her for her help; both he and Vega laid hands on the globe for several minutes. Finally, the globe sprang to life, glowing with a soft, white luminescence, which seemed to please Margull. He told Vega that the white glow meant that the intentions of those using it were pure, and that he was now certain that she could be trusted. Margull revealed to Vega that the globe was very ancient, and among the most powerful of its kind. The globe had the power to locate the unlocatable, to reveal the most well-hidden secrets, and to know the unknowable. He tells Vega that the globe must be closely guarded, and not allowed to fall into sinister, or impure hands. Vega then says that Margull began to ask questions of the globe, in an unknown tongue, which sounded very ancient in tone; how she knew this, she could not say. But the globe showed him things, she knew, because she watched his face; his expression was that of a man who was seeing things unfold, watching the action of others, and reacting with emotion. Margull seemed surprised by some of what he saw, angered by a small part of it, and frightened at the end, although Vega says that she sensed he was not frightened for himself, but rather, he was frightened [B][I]on behalf of someone else[/I][/B]. Vega says that moments after peering into the globe, he retrieved a piece of parchment from his desk, and wrote the statement she just read; she says that his hand moved so fast, that it seemed that she couldn't see his hand at all, only a blur where his hand should have been. He then sealed the letter, handed it to her, mumbled something about [B][I]"he must not be allowed to make more fledglings,"[/I][/B] before waving his hand in front of his mirror, summoning the image of a forest, and stepping into the mirror.
