Chapter 5

You say softly 'Admund, I need some advice.'
Admund says to you 'Of course, Sunlit Grove.'
You say 'My Cycle draws to a close...sooner rather than later, but I still have
some years.'
You say 'And, like the beginning of my journey, I find myself wandering, lost
and alone again.'
You say 'This is a feeling I know you can understand.'
Cexonza paces slowly.
Admund says to you 'We can, Sunlit Grove.'
You say 'The Lady Daphedee is off chasing a fancy, or some such. Her candlewood
grove is oft empty, save for Cerberuffs and I..'
You say 'Emnon the Unspoken, who has haunted me my entire life, and who I've
baited, enticed, and endured for a lifetime in the hopes of tricking him into
giving me what I wanted, is rumored to be similarly gone.'
You say 'One can never be sure with rumors regarding that bastard, but they
seem to be true.'
Admund nods.
Cexonza raises a bare paw to the Tree behind her sadly.
You say 'The Ancients, in all their power and glory, can do little for a spirit
outside of Thar-Eris... such as the one in Pits of Hell we visited
together...Ergush saw no way to help me.'
You say 'And so I find myself with decades of planning dashed by ... the Fate
that cursed Seer taunted us with?'
Thinking deeply, Admund strokes his beard.
You say 'I'm here. Sel's there, and the bridges I was building have crumbled.'
You say 'And the only others I see who may be able to help me.. well..'
You get a bottle of Gnazzo Absinthe from a cured hide sack made from the burnt
corpse of Killia.
You raise your glass and propose a toast in Admund's honor.
You drink absinthe from a bottle of Gnazzo Absinthe.
You feel tipsy.
You say '... they're risky, at best.'
Admund nods.
You say 'So.. who can I turn to? The dwarf lord? The lords and ladies of the
Light have never
welcomed or comforted me.'
...
Admund says to you 'We have told you, we would do anything we can, go anywhere
to help you find Sel.'
Admund says to you 'We still stand by that.'
Tempestuous winds ladened with the lamentations of the damned carry forth
Gaspare Gnazzo.
Admund says to Gaspare 'Immortal God. We were just going to mention your name.'
Cexonza clasps Admund's hand as she steps between he and Gaspare.
Gaspare says 'Hello, Cexonza.'
