[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7180355, member: 9255"] THE HIDDEN: BEYOND NEW WATER 01 WORK COMMUTE SEGMENT 097 “PASSAGE INTO ELDEEN: PRELUDE PART IV” 7/18/17 OLARUNE 15, 896 KORTH, KARRNATH- MINISTRY OF DEFENSE HEAD QUARTERS “Is there any other way Brother David? This…. This feels like an act of blasphemy.” The older senior cleric of The Keeper looks sadly back to the younger cleric. Even in the bad lighting of the deep crypts the senior member sees the true fear and trepidation on his face. “Yes. For Karrnath to survive we must do this. The Cyrans are closing in and the Aundarians are testing our western borders. The cold winter has devastated the crops. We have fewer soldiers than each country. The dwarves push back more each day. The government fears their separation within the next few generations if this war were to continue. Our best soldiers lay here, deep in the earth…. Waiting to fight for their country’s honor once more.” They continue in silence for a short ways then the young cleric speaks again. “Do you trust them sir? Do you trust the new people? The blood of Vol?” “King Kaius does. That is enough for me.” “…and Sister Vessa?” Frustrated by the endless questioning and his own hidden uncertainty the senior member whirls around on the younger cleric. “Enough! Enough questioning. We do as we are told. This is war. Hard decisions are made…. Must be made during such times.” They continue in silence until they reach crypyt #387. Most of the soldiers from the early battle of Misty River at the Cyran River separating the two countries were nobles and children of the generals. Due to the use of magical fire , many bodies were not identifiable so all of the bodies were given an honorable burial in the state crypts. “Set up everything as Sister Vessa instructed. She will be here soon.” Scented candles are lit a circle drawn from chalk is carefully drawn. Other clerics (Blood of Vol) arrive and drawn runes within the circle and at each of the crypt resting sites. Several bowls that have what smells and looks like blood are set up next. Then the six Vol Priests kneel down and begin to chant. Twenty minutes of chanting has gone by when a new source of torch light comes down the hallway. Sister Vessa has arrived. She wears a long hooded green robe with dark green and copper high lights. Her long black hair hangs onto her chest from under the hood. She says nothing but asks the two clerics of the Keeper to step forward and hold a candle each. She chants and recites a ritual spell not used within Khorvaire in centuries. Then suddenly twin swords appear out of no where…. Through the backs of the Keeper’s followers. The youngest gurgles a confused sound. The older man manages to declare “For Karrnath” before dying. “Sister” Vessa cannot help herself. She laughs and giggles as the blood seeps out of the two men. The blood to drawn to the crypt shelves where the dead bodies of the warriors lay. [/QUOTE]
