Destiny's Tears: Varylys (Almost at Chapter 1!)

[Keia]

*Zykovian saw the note and picked it up . . . only thinking afterward that it might have been bad and he should have scanned it. Deciding that they could have done something if they wanted to already, Zykovian opened the note and read it. He didn't want to fail to do what he had been told to do.*

“Oh well, a pity, but I suppose that’s to be expected,” Fedowin offers with a weak chuckle, obviously still not quite recovered, as he slowly begins to pace around the room.

*The note appears to be written in Mojiin.*

[SBLOCK=Mojiin]
"Misguided friends,

I would write this in High Draconic, but I'm not sure if any of you can read it, and I'm sure at least someone knows Mojiin. If you're reading this, then you have either been duped by the Elder Mojiin Preservers or you are taking a shortsighted attitude towards the Crazan Arris. For now, I'll talk about the shortsighted viewpoint. Use the Crazan Arris right away--sounds great, right? Forests will rise once more across all of Arris and the land will sing in joy. Well, there's a reason why the Jewels were hidden away. What exactly do you think would happen if the Crazan Arris were used immediately? Think about this, discuss this with those who cannot read this message, and only then continue on."

*There's a break in the page, although there is really nothing stopping Zykovian from reading despite the message's request that he stop to think and discuss.*

Zykovian offered the note to Abdiel or Mhrazhar, "I believe that you should read this . . . it is from the client that hired the ninja to steal the Crazan Arris. It is in Mojiin, and while I can read bits of it, I don't want to cloud the translation with my inaccuracies."

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Abdiel begins to read it aloud, translating as he goes:*

"Misguided friends,

"Do we want to stop here or just keep going?"

Fedowin, Male Rowaini Swashbuckler

“Well, I’m no authority on such matters, but I imagine without fixing the rest of the planet the trees would just die, as I understand Arris is a desert world, but I don’t know why they would want us to stop and discuss their message when it seems so obvious...” Fedowin mutters, more thinking aloud than answering Abdiel’s question.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, I think you're right that they couldn't mean just that. They must have considered, as you did, that the trees need water, and they could have assumed that the Crazan and Jhyram Arris were used in tandem to restore all the forests and rivers and banished the desert. But what could be wrong with that?"

Turning towards Abdiel and stopping when he receives the unexpected reply, Fedowin remarks, “Nothing at all. Though perhaps they mean you need to defeat the Valsian Dragon Lords first, before using the gems to regenerate your world, as otherwise they may well just drain it of life again.”

 

[Rystil Arden]

"That is possible. Shall we continue reading or do you think that wasn't all yet?"

 

[unleashed]

Fedowin, Male Rowaini Swashbuckler

“No, I’m happy with that, let’s continue by all means. After all, we can always come back to it if we think of something else,” Fedowin offers with a grin.
