Short summary:
I reunited some worthy warriors to go and ask a creature of ancient times about some clues on how to fight against the ancient entities that are a looming threat upon the new world. In the way, I learned a lot about myself too.
Full Report
I have been having some dreams as of late. Dreams where a gargantuan flaming three headed ibis god fought against the corruption on infinite lands and worlds. I went to my friends to ask about the "why" could I be suffering these episodes, but besides common knowledge about said god, called Atreia, the lambent king, they couldn't help me much.
I had other issues in hand though, and after the reunion in first landing with other people worried about this threat, I decided to go visit an entity that I met some time ago. A creature that may have had some knowledge about how to fight the ancients ones or at least how to reseal them, because, as the majority of us know, they are regaining strenght as his agents, from which the guild has several, broke their seals.
To this end, I recruited some notable adventurers. My good friend Toy, who is an unfailing marksman. Khirl, a tengo magi as myself, who I saw fight in the tournament and admire a lot, and Ninivit, a good friend of Khirl, one of the purests souls this world has to offer and an unrelenting warrior.
We went to the new portal and arrived into Caislean Ridire, where we sought for some transport that could take us to the point of the ocean where we needed to be. I will left details on the locations vague on prevention for some agents for getting revenge on Trill, the creature that we were looking for. The price of the tickets was not to heavy, the fey captain, Kreigh, charged me some music and rain sounds from one of my memories. I must say said memory is not the same withouth their balm and now hurt a little more.
About a day after, we found ourselves in the place. There were some creatures, eels more likely, waiting for us below the ship, but luckily we saw them and Toy shooed them away. We came prepared and, after some spells cast we were ready to dive in. After some hours we reached our destination, but Trill wasn't home. We went looing for them and found them fighting some sea creatures, which we help them defeat. He harvested some crystal from the bodies of said creatures and, after I told them the reason of my visit, he invited us to a vision by touching the crystals.
We found ourselves in a northern island in the bodies of halfling warriors. We were facing a dragon invasion that we needed to repel. We did well against the ones that attacked us, but then I saw him, Attreia, the lambent king in first person and in all of its glory. The halflings who's skins we were dressing hated him, the god in the seas that the halflings loved, The Vitruvian, hated him... because he killed them all, and helped a dragon, She-Who-Brings-The-Cataclysm-In-Times-Of-Peace to defeat the ascended god.
I waked up from the vision feeling a new connection, it seems Attreia wanted a champion and choose me. Some of my powers have been replaced or maybe just transformed as they've been destined to.
I asked several more things to Trill, but I will reserve that knowledge form me and my allies. Suffice to say that I own a great lot to Trill and I will for sure repay them in their time of need.
