[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 1678702, member: 8944"] Letting one of the monks take away his mostly uneaten breakfast, he stares intently at Justice, almost ecstatic at her apparent curiosity. "Although one should not shy from danger, one should also not always seek it. You give much away but what you have said. It is a task that you have set [i]yourselves [/i]upon, not a task to which the Light has dedicated you to. The Light wills as the Light wills, but as I said before, I have a hard time believing that the Light would demand that you bring a luminous soul such as your friend's--L'Aurel?--back from her eternal rest - the Kingdom of Light meant to be a place of rest for the fallen, especially the heroic souls who have mimiced the sacrifice of this Church's father. This risk, this [i]danger[/i] seems far from necessity. Are you sure that you have opened your ears to the call of the Light? We are His Hands, Justice. To be His Hands, we must heed His will. "And for the prophecy? The one that Headmistress Burns sent to us some months ago? Wild claims that one of her students managed to make the old Stone Oracle talk!" He begins to laugh, but seeing the seriousness on Justice's face, he continues with some small bit of gravity seeping into his voice. "I am sorry my dear, but there is very little I can tell you. Prophecies, as a general rule, are worthless out of context. This one in particular spoke entirely in riddle, conundrum and generality. The only thing clear was that the recipient was supposed to travel westward, and even that could easily have been a hoax--a fabrication! The damned thing didn't even hint at the distance to be travelled, or what could or would be found after the nebulous 'heroes' were found. All in all, more confusion than it was worth! "I had a few of the younger priest's check it against the holy words of the Apecto, as well as some of our older collections of prophecy. They sent one copy to the throne's library in Caer Albion, and another back to the Jade Forest. "If you'll pardon my asking, why do you bring it up, now? Surely you have not encountered another copy of the prophecy?" [/QUOTE]
