Again, an old wizard watches his scrying bowl.
“So! There really is an oracle in the Eversea! And what an informative and engaging experience it was to observe its liaison with Methos first hand. Excellent!” He admitted to the little fairy dragon that kept him company. “I must admit, I envy them. They have all surpassed me and my companions for power! And now they seek the weapons to slay a god? How brave they are, and how unaware of the dangers. Let me see if I’ve got this list correct.” He muttered to himself, ticking off items on his fingers.
1. First, they must find the Divinity sphere which has been hidden in this dimension from the prime material world of Jinix. It contains the essence of a deity that can be used to defeat the enemy. Sounds simple enough.
2. The next item must be forged in the sun pillar, and left for 1000 years. Gerry hopes to give Ikendri the power of an artefact this way, I hope it will suffice.
3. Lukat has been told she does not need to seek out her artefact, it will seek her out. however, I suspect some work will be required on her part.
4. Methos must seek the blessing of the six great tribes that inhabit this sphere in order to create a great staff of the Magi. That will do the trick!
5. What Oma wants is a bit of a mystery, but he may be seeking to merge with a powerful life form. The oracle told him his answers lie in the outer planar dimension of Elysium.
6. Their turned spy Ebon should be able to take on her former deity with the One Knife from the “hall of evil”. This may or may not be a good thing.
7. Finally, the last artefact is in the hands of the “God who remained”. They must divine further answers from this.”
Again the wizard smiled. “That’s quite a list. I hope they’re up to it.” The he laughed, “Well, they defeated the Nightmare of the Leviathan, and an aspect of its dreams. They chased off a flock of abyssal dolphins, and prevented defeat from a narwhale. They are doing so very well, perhaps they are up to this as well? And what about the wish sword! What an amazing work! pity none can wield it yet, perhaps when they are of sufficient power? well, the oracle might not have answered many of their questions, but she has told them a lot about how to defeat a God...”
“Less than two years now. Two years, after 10,000 years of running. And yet it seems so little time…”

Diary of Methos Ignotus
ReplyDeleteI have made a decision: I'm going to let that lesser god keep the staff he stole from me. By no means am I conceding in defeat; quite the contrary. I have devised a plan to create my own staff of power. Using the convoluted messages from the Oracle, and some of my own research into crystalomancy and stone power, I think that I am able to construct a staff of great might. If I succeed, it shall be known as the Staff of Methos, and belong to me alone. Yes... I believe that this is an appropriate course of action. A great deal of travel and convincing is required, however, for this plan to work. First steps first, though. I must commission an appropriate staff... I have the plans and weights calculated to suit myself perfectly, but my skills in the forge are less than spectacular. I must needs find a weaponsmith who is also skilled in magical cold silver and gemstone setting... hmm... yes. That is the first step...
I feel as though my mind is trying to tell me something. There are strange things afoot. Oracles, evils, dreams. I feel that some of those people that are our friends, really aren't, and that some of those whom we perceive to be against us, are, but for different reasons, and yet again some should be allies... I'm starting to feel like a circle, where the beginning and the end are the same once closed and one cannot afterwards be determined from the other...
