[HQ Ignorance] Re : Scene Five: The Nameless Man Arrives

[Loran]

Quivering
to the idea of having a common ancestor with the soulless plant-thing that was
speaking to him, but fearing at most the return of Gbaji, Azhur considered all the
answers of his companions.


 


The Bishop
Donalari guessed that the mentioned gift was Time and this sounded right to
Azhur’s intuition.


This meant
that the Nameless One was giving Time to all of them
 Time sounded like
mortality and wrongness to Azhur’s malkioni belief.


 


The dwarf
Kalen confirmed that the Nameless One wasn’t a constructed but created man,
perhaps related to the great mystery of the origins of life



 


Finally
the Nameless One was clearly asking for being protected as a part of mankind

in any case, the Nameless One was thinking being a close part of all them
 what
was the common point to all man-rune related beings here in the Dilis swamp,
sent by the immortal brithini of Sog city?


 


For Aalmon
and Icthya, the Nameless One was an apparition tied to the pagan legends of
Grand Father Mortal, something that Azhur wasn’t familiar with
 but an answer
was asked.


 


Azhur
cleared up his throat, in the past he had to be brave in front of many enemy
swords at once, but never he faced such a difficult fight.


- “ I
think
”, he began slowly. “I think that you are
”, his voice grew a little
louder, “the deep savage impulse that lives in all men, a common trait that
unite us in time and mortality.”


 


Reluctantly,
the knight looked at Sir El Grim’s face trying to see where was hiding the
mysterious and criminal spirit:


- “Pagans
will name you “Grand Father Mortal” as a worshipped symbol of this common
fragility, but the malkioni believers and the dwarves will name you “Sin” and
“Breach”, because it is acting against the law of the Universe that brings us
to Death. Hrestol’s teachings tell us that we can be saved and brought to Joy
even as sinners, so we can enjoy life even at the cost of making errors against
the rules of Malkion
 in this way, Time can be a pleasure, a gift given by
Sin.”


 


With the
finger, Azhur pointed the possessed knight of the Sparrow and added :


- “ In
fact and obviously now, you are him!”, then he showed the rest of the fellowship, “but you are
also them!”, and finally he pointed on his own chest, “and of course, you are me! By
protecting you, Nameless One, we will protect us and all mankind!”


 


- “ And as
the elf suggests and as Hrestol taught us, I have to respect you as deep inner
part of man, a creation of the Invisible God, because in fact you are Man”


 


While
saying this last words, Azhur just realized that he was just paraphrasing the
last sentence of the Nameless One : “for I *am* a man”. Could have the spirit
given the solution within the riddle? This notion was a shock to the ex-knight
and not-yet wizard’s apprentice.




OOC Azhur"Sinnersbane" pledging to protect "Sin"... Ah ah ah !
By answering riddles, you finish illuminated... and by fighting Gabji, you finish krjalki yourself !
I wonder where this answer will bring us... I hope you all agree more or less with it.

Good day at you !
Loran

Reasoning that it is one thing to end time and return to the Green Age but it is entirely another to do so by inviting Gbaji back into the world, Icthya reluctantly throws her lot in with the humans. Leaving her hiding place, she walks unsteadily over to Azhur, her buoyant legs causing her problems in the wetter spots.
   
  Her voice still weak, she clutches at a charm to lend herself breath, "Aalmon has it right," she says, "He has remembered the name of the one we simply call Man. You humans have forgotten his name so you think he has none. Not understanding him, you call him a criminal. I have spoken with Moment Yearning," she says, referring to her spirit friend, "who remembers the Green Age. The Firstborn Man it is, and he is your ancestor so you should accord him the respect due him."

  OOC: If Azhur refuses to believe such pagan nonsense, it could get fun.
