[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 7847963, member: 59816"] [b]Ashfell[/b] Ashfell was conflicted. He was a Mage of Blackstaff Tower, and it was his duty to uncover any and all threats to Waterdeep, and Thay was constantly scheming. But he was also Titus' Uncle Seaton. Proud as he was of his brave nephew, he knew full well that this action could potentially lead to the young nobleman's ultimate corruption. In the end, he decided that he had to trust that Titus was strong, and would be able to resist ultimate temptation. He gathered his materials and had servants remove his desk and shelves from the room at the top of the turret. He drew patterns on the floor in a mixture of strange powders - a space for Titus, one for himself, and one empty. He added candles, and smoke from a brazier. He told Titus, [b]"We are not summoning your patron, for the barrier between planes is too strong for such a simple spell, but just an aspect of him. An image, if you will. If your patron is honest, it will be an image of truth. If dishonest, it may well be whatever he wants you to see. I will watch from here, masked from his eyes. I will try to determine the truth, and we will speak of it when you are done."[/b] When Titus was ready, Ashfell chanted some words in a deep and strong voice, and an image began to appear floating in the third space. At first, it looked similar to the spilled ink in Julkoun, and Titus could feel his heart beating very fast, and he was afraid, but he held his ground. Then, it shifted into the form of a humanoid, and grew until it was stooping under the high arches of the turret's ceiling. A tendril of smoke drifted across the room from the creature's abdomen, and another from Titus' abdomen - the two chords crossed in the middle of the room and wrapped around each other. Then, the image of the creature cleared, and standing before Titus was a giant in armour, with one glowing eye and one in shadow behind a helm that hid his face. One arm held an axe made of shadows - in fact, the shadows travelled up the arm so it was impossible to tell where the hand was that held the axe. [b]"I am Sing-Axe, a Titan of old."[/b] said the Titan, [b]"You are Titus, connected to me from birth. Named for my ancient race. Should you chose to serve me, I will be your champion in the realms beyond mortals. I will grant you powers beyond imagining, even unto immortality, should you prove worthy. Will you serve?"[/b] As he spoke, he passed his shadowy axe back and forth, and it made a high, but not unpleasant noise. [/QUOTE]
