Message: <blockquote data-quote="taitzu52" data-source="post: 2466139" data-attributes="member: 21465">Meanwhile....As the ship passes the dreaded tower of Rox'Voroth, Sonrik becomes visibly agitated.  He breaks away from the conversation and stands on the deck, defiantly trying to face this silent menace, even as it's very presence tries to pry into his mind and rend his very spirit.  Sonrik winces as if in pain, as he hears voices in his head, fell cries and dark tongues.  He averts his eyes, shielding himself from the horror of this anathema, this defiance to all that is holy and right.  Soon, the ship passes, leaving the young Sonrik breathless and weary.  He walks away like a prisoner from his torture chamber, even the beauty of the city of Enberton would not lift Sonriks spirits for some time."I would loathe to speak that name loudly so close to his former den, friend Kale." replies Sonrik, somewhat withdrawn and short of breath, "The Twins have granted me the gift to see things as they truly are, to see where they stand in the scheme of creation, and of their right place in the world."  He hangs his head, as if experiencing some great loss, "And at times, that gift of vision is too great to bear.  Especially when there is something that is so.....crooked and vile."  He looks up again and sees the gleaming city before him.  "I find it hard to believe that such a city can thrive this close to a shadow so dark."As they exit the ship, and follow Liam through the city, Sonrik is amazed at the sheer scale of the metropolis.  Amazed at his friend's before unknown history, he asks, "Liam, is it market day, or is it always this crowded?" quite ignorant of the differences betweens cities and village's workings.  "So you don't have to lead me later," he asks, "where is the Temple district, or is it all spread out?"  Sonrik, of course, would like to see what he imagines must be the largest shrines to The Twins in all of Ember.  And he is long overdue to inscribe the name of his parted master within their Book of Souls.  Or he thinks that it works something like that.</blockquote>
