Chapter 12

Within the darkness a whisper finally revealed itself, though it was
different from all the other whispers which had always spoken to Aubrasz.
This one while smelled of Weh, also smelled of this plane and had a presence
which awed Aubrasz. The one named Morius spoke to Aubrasz and acknowledged
his path seeking the Eternal night of Scions, and reveled in the idea of the
veil being destroyed. To know so much death (Weh) would be unleased upon the
populous, such things thrilled both.

Aubrasz was given a task then to prove his worthiness and dedication to his
goals. He must first obtain an item given voluntarily to him by a Saurian of
the Sra. Then he also must obtain an object that I considered to be unique
magical significance. And finally he must obtain something that he considers
completely worthless.

Given thought to these things, his hunger for this power spurred him into
action. Hunting down the scent of Gralker who was a saurian of Sra, he soon
tracked him down to the Inn where he conversed with others. As they bantered,
Aubrasz listed with disgust as they spoke of charity and hope. What good was
such things, when true power could be just taken by any strong and dedicated
enough. However the views of this fool Gralker would be enough to obtain all
that he ever wished. As Gralker spoke, Aubrasz asked him then what would he
give to someone like himself? There was a chuckle from both Gralker and those
in attendance, yet Gralker gave Aubrasz an invitation from the Empress.
Worthless in many ways, it was gold in Aubrasz hands as it was the opening
which he needed to power.

Knowing that Gralker was only showing such in front of the others, Aubrasz
sought to separate him from any other eyes so that he may truly push his
goals. Speaking directly with Gralker he asked the fool of Sra what thing to
him would represent hope. Gralker perked up at this and soon began to vomit
their ideas upon Aubrasz and pine about those who have passed on. Aubrasz
endured such and pushed Gralker about what item would mean hope to him, and
he finally said that he had something which he would give to Aubrasz to show
such. Aubrasz knew he had him now, for he played to his ego as Gralker went
on and on about wanting to be remembered when he finally embraced Weh.
