[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 5068086, member: 60965"] Session 28, Part 7 “Anyone know what that is?” Bail said, pointing down at the edge of the dark, tangled forest passing by far beneath the Skyland. Kormak and Keeper joined him and peered down to a small yellow shape gleaming in the winter sunlight. “There's a figure down there,” Keeper said. “Humanoid. It's waving.” Kormak squinted, then glanced at Keeper. “Since when are your eyes so good?” Keeper turned to him. “Technically, they aren't eyes.” “You have a knack for answering without answering, did you know that?” “What's going on?” Suniel said, walking down the path to join them. “There's someone down there at the edge of that dark scary forest we've been flying over and he's waving at us,” Kormak said. “Next to a wagon,” Keeper said. “And he's next to a wagon,” Kormak added. “If he's waving, he has to be friendly, right?” “Might as well check it out,” Suniel said, shouting for Velea as he walked towards the henge. “Might as well, what's the worst thing that could happen?” Kormak said. *** Suniel followed closely behind Harold, Keeper and the Guardian following behind him. Kormak and Bail brought up the rear. The wagon turned out to be a bright yellow, round gypsy wagon covered with strange silver runes, sitting in a sunny meadow. Beyond was a line of metal posts with shimmering strips of metallic cloth placed every couple hundred feet along the edge of the woods. The figure had stopped waving and merely stood draped in a thick brown robe and cowl, watching them approach. “You must be the Hollowed One we heard about,” Suniel said. “The who? Oh! Riiiiight,” Kormak said, eyes slowly widening. He took a few steps away “Isn't he the one, you know, the guy that we weren't supposed to-” “Make a deal with?” the cowled figure said, his strangely echoing and slightly unsettling. Suniel couldn't tell if it was male or female. “Yeah... that,” Kormak said, half-hiding behind the Guardian. “You are the Hollowed One?” Suniel said. The faintest movement of its cowl told hinted that it nodded. “What is it you desire?” There was a long pause as Bail, Kormak, and Suniel exchanged a look. “I want to have the biggest - urk!” Bail grabbed Kormak and sat on him. The Hollowed One pulled back his cowl, revealing yellowish, almost polished skin. His features were fair, almost feminine and his eyes had no iris. “I can give you anything, for in the Fae Woods dreams are given form and I am the guardian of the Boundary.” “Anything?” Harold said, his eyes narrowing. Suniel shot Harold an alarmed look, but Harold seemed lost in contemplation. The Hollowed One turned to Suniel and smiled. “I can give you a Seeking Stone or even a True Stone if that is what you wish.” “You have a True Stone?” Bail said, adjusting his weight towards the dwarf's shoulders so Kormak's face was even more firmly planted in the dirt. “Urmph! Urgh urmur! Shmrrr mmrmr!” Kormak said, arms flailing. “I can reach into the dreams of the Fae and bring back anything [I]you[/I] could dream of. All you have to do is ask.” “The dreams of the Fae? Are the True Stones in the Fey Wood somewhere?” Suniel said. “In a sense,” the Hollowed One said, gesturing towards the black wood beyond. “If you had the integrity of mind to hold onto reality amidst the dreams of the Fae, you could find anything you desired there.” Kormak gasped for air as Bail stood up and walked towards the Wood a few steps. He pointed at one of the metal poles as the dwarf shot him a dirty look and brushed himself off. “What are those?” “I am bound to maintain the wards that surround the Fae Wood.” “Do you perhaps offer things are not of Fae make?” Harold said, a calculating look in his eyes. Kormak stormed off out of sight behind the wagon. If Suniel didn't know any better he'd think the dwarf was sulking. “I sell nothing, I only offer pieces of the Dreams, fragments that bind to ambition. It entertains me to see the their effects outside in the greater world.” “You mean corrupt those that come for them?” Suniel said. The Hollowed One looked at Suniel with his head cocked to the side in an almost bird-like fashion. “The corruption is within those who try to take the Dreams and force them to bend to their will.
