Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Sylvia's brows were furrowed in thought as she read and thought about the possible clues and thoughts in her head. She too came from a pit in the earth. But it quickly disappeared...could she have come from the same pit where the dragon was said to be? She almost didn't want to think about the implications that thought held. She did wonder as to why Erod casted the sword back into the darkness. Wouldn't he want to keep that sword just in case the dragon broke the seal? And if she came from the same pit, then why didn't she see a silver sword nearby? What if that dream she had meant that the dragon was going to break the seal, if it wasn't broken already? Judging from the text, the dragon from the dream and the dragon in the text may very well be the same if the army of monsters was of any indication.

Deciding that the questions and thoughts were going to confuse her and throw her into a tizzy, she shook her head and she kept reading.

The Arisen...

Reading about them, she couldn't help but think about that and recall them from the previous text vaguely. Deciding to look more into the Arisen, she decides to go back to the first book and reread. It couldn't hurt to reread and see if she could find any more details that she might have forgotten or missed the first time around. And if that didn't work, then she could ask the acolyte if there were any more texts on the Arisen.

Shall I roll another History check? ^_^

Gransys....that was her next stop, wasn't it? So the duke was there.

Sylvia still couldn't help but let out a slight sigh in disappointment when she couldn't find anything there. But still, there was no point in quitting the research now. After reading the first book, she set the book on the table, and moved the second book closer. She opened the book and started reading Erod's tale of how he slew a black dragon. She hoped she'll find something in that one.

Sylvia nodded at his requests and she answered him, "Sounds reasonable enough. Thank you," She then got to work reading on the books. She decided to first read the book about Duke Erod, written by a different author. She figured that reading that book first would give her good context before going into Duke Erod's own narrative. She wanted to know what kind of person Duke Erod was first before reading the narrative. Somehow...Sylvia wouldn't be surprised if the tale of Duke Erod slaying a black dragon was completely made up, even in a strange new world such as this one...

So dragons weren't exactly common in this world. They existed, but not common and haven't been seen in sixty years. She was surprised to hear that Duke Erod had slain a black dragon. At the suggestion of becoming a member of the clergy, Sylvia became unsure. She couldn't join a religion she knew little about in good consciousness, plus there had to be a reason why there was a negative opinion about this church. But she might need the information about the dragons...

Thinking of finding other resources of knowledge, including Duke Erod himself if need be, she decided to go with her gut. She answered the acolyte "I don't think joining the clergy is necessary,"

She then asked "Would it be okay if read those two books on Duke Erod? They seem like a good place to start,"

"I'm not sure. But considering that the incident and the dream are both recent, and happened within a span of a couple hours of each other, it might be worth mentioning," Sylvia answered thoughtfully.

She continued "Their dream started out showing a hurricane over the ocean. But the clouds soon broke to show the sunlight. The clouds continued to part until a huge black dragon could be seen, with an entourage of flying monsters. The dragon was flying over the ocean to somewhere. But the dream ended before they could see where the dragon was going. The last thing they saw was the dragon looking at them with burning yellow eyes,"

She studied the acolyte as she recounted the dream, trying to gauge his reaction once more. She wasn't sure if he was going to react in fear, or if he was going to give some other reaction she wasn't expecting.

Sylvia couldn't help but wonder if there was a mark on her body...She would have to get a mirror and see if she could find such a thing on her. Other than that, Sylvia didn't remember seeing anything like a calling card. And she doubted skeletons would count as fey calling cards.

Sylvia nodded at his question, and she answered "I do. This person came from a place called New York City, in the country of the United States of America. The world is called Earth, and it was in the year 2019. When they found themselves in the cave, they were surrounded by ancient skeletons. When they exited the cave, the cave entrance just disappeared. As though it was never there to begin with..."

At the mention of the visions or an affinity with an animal, Sylvia thought a bit. She then asked the acolyte in curiosity, "Do dreams count as visions?" She couldn't help but recall the dream she had the previous night. Maybe dreams counted as visions here? It could mean something.
