Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bloodweaver1" data-source="post: 2888090" data-attributes="member: 31459">"What do you see when you sleep, child? What troubles your dreams?"“Ha, You presume much. One has to dream first in order to have trouble within them. And what are dreams? Are they simply your unconscious running ramped within you mind, or they are ‘visions’ of one’s fate?” He pauses briefly then continues, “Whatever they maybe, I have little time for them. My fate like yours has been sealed well before I walked in your tent. I know my role, my piece in the game.”  "Who pulls your strings? Who's the puppetmaster makin' ye dance all pretty? Or," she cackles, "do you think yourself a freeman?"“Does it matter? Like it or not we are all pieces of the game. Some are fortunate to know their place on the board while others revel in their ignorance of all things. Those who know about the game think they move because they choose too. But we know that’s not true.” He smiles and gives a small sigh before continuing, “The purpose and complete understanding of the game is for future historians and scholars to debate. The only thing one needs to know is what piece of the game are you? For if you know what piece you are, then you ultimately know your role. Are you a pawn to be sacrificed for a greater force or a king that controls the fate of all things? Or are you the queen that controls the battle field that is layout before her,” He hesitates for a few seconds and then finishes, “Or perhaps one is like me, the black knight that when used correctly, ends the game.”  "And, you didn't forget a gift for poor old Etna, did you? Yes, I can see it, it's in that backpack, yes... what did you bring poor old Etna? Show me."“Ha, you fool those with your needs of material possessions, but your tricks will not work on me old crow. For I have already given you what you desire. This ‘interview’ is more savoring to you than anything you can taste and more tangible than anything you can hold. Perhaps I have even given you the key into knowing who is truly playing the game.”"My turn..."“When the time is right and the final move is played, all that will matter will be the pieces in play and the place to play them. The pieces against me will reveal themselves when they are ready. My first question is when and where?”“My second question is simple. One black knight is dangerous when left on the board, but even I know it will take more than just one piece to setup and execute the final blow. Do I know the other pieces? Are there other black knights like myself?”“I wish to be immortal. I wish to live on well beyond my time through the stories and memories of those left behind. I wish to be a legend, and more importantly, I wish to remembered by the masses. My final question and the most important question to me is: Will that happen when the game is finally over?”-Blood</blockquote>
