‘’…Perpetual.’’

[i]‘’My friends, I do not know much more than you do. But it appears that all over the world, there is one unknown word entering the minds of certain selected flock. ‘Elvarren.’ A word with a strange and hypnotic effect, a word that speaks to our instincts to search for it. And that is only the beginning, because the voice conveying to us about Elvarren gets only stronger and all the more impatient. It is my belief we are not suffering from schizophrenia… these voices aren’t delusions. They are sentient and external intelligence seeking to set us on a new path. 
You have already heard them, haven’t you?
Their urgency is not unfounded either. There are men in grey suits after you. You might’ve already seen them. They started showing up across the continents about the same time people like us began to turn up with these abilities. There is something much greater at hand -- something happening to our world, but it is not yet ready to reveal itself… And the voice of Elvarren isn’t helping either. Nor do we know yet what Elvarren even is. But whatever it is; it is the key to everything. Yes. Everything. I believe this to be the truth. And so we cannot give up.’’[/i]

Dusk speaks to the people currently assembled. [b]Ishalan, Mirage, Puppeteer, Kaesar, Quiet[/b] and [b]Horus[/b]. Those are their new names, and let none think otherwise! They reside in an old and decaying cabin. Why has Dusk led these people to this place specifically? Mostly because there is a stove. Pretty outdated, looks to be made last century. But when you’re this far north, even during springtime, in this vast forested terrain… you will learn to appreciate such a thing.
The place is not very large. Upon entering you come into a living room; a couch hugging the right wall besides it, and an archaic refrigerator and kitchen sink  in the corner. The head of a stag is mounted above the front door. At the back of the room are three doors. Two leading to separate bedrooms, and the middle door leading to a very small bathroom, with one toilet and an oldschool bathtub. No shower. And there is no running water either – it has to be fetched from the nearby river.
The right bedroom hosted only a single bed, with the unconscious Jay lying in it. The other bedroom was completely empty. Dusk only prepared three sleeping bags there. With one sleeping bag remaining for the right bedroom due to lack of space.

[i]‘’All in all, we have one bed, four sleeping bags and a couch for one of us to sleep on in the living room.. That’s enough for six people. I’m sorry I could not prepare any more. I did not think I would actually be able to find this many of you. Please make due with what we have.’’[/i]
Dusk pauses for a bit.
[i]‘’…I guess we will have to switch turns sleeping, eh? It’s up to you. I suppose since I’m the one responsible for you being here, I’ll be sleeping on the floor.
It is a time of great urgency for us. You need to keep low at all costs. I do not know if ‘they’ have followed us. But it seems they are capable of discovering people with our abilities even in the most unlikely of places. How? By what otherworldly means? I have no idea. Either way, I ask you all to please not leave this cottage, or at least as little as possible...
And if you do leave, inform me or Aries. I won’t ask more than to please be lenient with one another.

See this as an opportunity to really get to know eachother and maybe experiment with your talents… communicate with the voices in your head. For the coming days I need to leave you all. The Perpetual tells me more people have come to this continent. I need to find them and bring them here; before the Greymen do.
I like to think we are all part of the same brotherhood now. So while I am away; could you all prepare sleeping bags and rations to last us at least a few weeks? And be sure to listen to Aries… Just please don’t do anything rash or dangerous. Or something that makes too much noise or otherwise draw attention.
It is Monday. I will try to be back before Thursday evening. 

Take care, everyone.’’[/i]

With those words; Dusk departs from the cabin once more. They had only been here for a day. Who [b]is[/b] that guy, anyway? Dusk has an unexplainable calming effect on others. It makes you want to trust him. It might be his calm and friendly demeanor, or is it perhaps the mind-altering effect of his power..?
