Salem was more than glad that Victor was currently blinded. The dumbfounded look that was now plastered on his face would remain there for a while. He wasn't sure what kind of reaction Victor was expecting him to have, what he wanted Salem to do. Did he really feel like that amount of information was enough to placate Salem? Did he think all he would have to say is that he loved and murdered a mage and that that would be the end of the conversation? For once in his life he was truly speechless. Unable to say anything back he just held onto Victor in silence. On the ride towards their destination he mulled over the information, wondering who this mage was and what she did to have him kill her, as well as if he truly loved her why would he kill her? It didn't make any sense to him but the fact remained he was an Astorio and they were ruthless. 

Salem hardly minded the thick brush and closed quarters. The spaces were tight but his mind focused on both the task ahead as well as the new information. He wasn't sure what that last test was supposed to do, was it meant to bring them closer? Expose weaknesses? It hardly seemed to have to do with his actual exam. Finally the path cleared and they began to near a curious tree. Salem tugging on Victor to stop his movements so he could better study it. [Color=82ca9d]“To whom walks amidst Time’s tangled web, look close at that which walks removed. Three keys to enlightenment of our kind-Might, Majesty, and Mastery-and yet not all three command them. Pick the light that guides their way and keep it safe on your way to have your diligence paid in kind. Stay to the right as it shines.

Though if sand does drop far too fast, feel free to take the left path." Aside from that there lies three designs before us. A boar, a curling wave, and a blade balancing a flower on its tip. There are small rocks at the base of the tree, and two lines stretching from them"[/color] Salem examined the scene a bit closer, scratching his head before turning to Victor. [Color=82ca9d]"Any clues on what to do for this one?"[/color]
