[QUOTE="KDLadage, post: 589778, member: 88"] [color=orange][b]FICTION:[/b][/color] [color=silver]The great Magi looked upon the crowd. He could sense the fear and hatred in their hearts as they held tight their pitchforks and torches. A whisper seemed to move through the crowd with words like 'burn' and 'demon-slave' reaching his aged ears. He raised his hands, "I do not threaten you, good people. I bring not the cold and heartless clamor of empty rhetoric or the threat of magical doom. I bring salvation!" A Priest, in his dark red and blue robes stepped forth. "What know ye of salvation, spell-weaver?" "Salvation of the soul? I know not. Salvation of the body and the mind? That is what I offer you. You are threatened, not by me, but by the workings of an evil so subtle that I can only barely perceive of it. It is there, none-the-less, and it is this even that causing your hogs to wither, your cows to remain dry and your chickens to die in the night. I need you to believe me, for without that trust, I cannot give you the salvation I offer." "At what cost to our souls?" asked the Priest, looking back at the people, sensing the same fear that the Wizard monitored through his words. "None, sir. Although I know in my heart that my arts are not a detriment to my soul, I would not ask you to trust me that far -- not yet. I do not offer anything more than my wisdom. I will not cast a spell on you fair folk. I offer assistance, aid, information. I need heroes." "Heroes?" asked the Priest. "Where would you find a hero here?"
