Chapter 4 - 11th of Rebirth's Decline - [Orb]

[consultmybooks]

[The orb shows Giles, sitting in one of the fields on the outskirts of Schwanheim, but he's not looking back at the orb, nor showing any sign of his surroundings.

No, instead, he's looking at the mirror he found around his neck, when he woke up before the battle. It's hovering in the air, spinning very slowly, and shadows flicker across its silvered surface. But they're clearly very interesting shadows - Giles doesn't take his eyes off the mirror, even as he addresses the orb.

The only other notable feature of the scene is that Giles is wearing gloves, and occasionally and completely subconsciously tugs on the edge of them, as though reassuring himself that they're still on his hands.]

Um, apparently there is another kingdom, across the thorns. Or, um, there was. We have no way of knowing if it's still there, simply because...well, we have no way of knowing what's happening beyond the thorns.

But I thought, well, if we could get back in touch...

[He draws in his breath sharply, as though troubled by a grim thought. The mirror slowly stops spinning, and then falls to the ground with a soft chiming. Giles curses softly under his breath and picks it up, polishing its bright surface industriously with a sleeve.]

...apparently, um, whatever I am now, it involves the capacity to scry. I'm not sure what the extent of this new talent is, yet, but I thought I'd try and find out. Perhaps, um, if I can get good enough, myself and, and whoever else has this ability, we might be able to combine our talents and, and contact the rest of the world. For assistance, or for information...well, there's no way to know.

This, um, this might seem a silly question, but do any of you mind if I look in on you from here? Knwoing the name of who or, or what I want to see, that seems to help me get a lock on it. As such, I thought I'd ask your permission first, before I went snooping around on whatever you were doing.

Day Change: the 12th of Rebirth's Decline

[thequestgiver]

Today is the 12th day of the Decline of the Season of Rebirth in the 137th Year Since the Wall Fell.

After long last, the weather forecaster has gotten another crystal ball and is yet again able to make inaccurate predictions about the weather. Today's forecast calls for rain most of the day, except for a 5 minute patch of sun at mid day when the town will be hit by a fireball. .. no, no wait. Lightning bolt? Tornado? Well, either way, something should happen at mid day! Or not. He's never been very good at predicting...

The hoards of nubile young maidens have started another war amongst themselves with the arrival of a new dark and broody type tearing apart the Blacksmith fanclub as the more impressionable girls are swayed from their devotion to the Blacksmith to the new Knight of Fire. When asked for comment, the Blacksmith told the reporter to get the hell out of his forge and leave him the hell alone. Swoooon~
