*portal opening sound*

*portal closing sound*

*Sina sighing*

D319: Ms Mosspool, do you need assistance.
Sina: No.



Sina: Where is Lady Hallflame?
D319: In her quarters, she is meditating.
Sina: I see.

Sina: Dismantle the portal, I’m going to see her.
D318 and D319: Yes Ms. Mosspool.
*footsteps echoing*

*footsteps echoing*

D218 and D254: Welcome back Ms. Mosspool.
Sina: Wait for me in my Quarters D254, I’m quite hungry.
D254: Yes Ms. Mosspool

*footsteps echoing*





D271 and D201: Welcome back Ms. Mosspool.

*footsteps*

D265 and D281: Welcome back Ms. Mosspool.

D321: *whispering* Think she is in trouble?
D341: *whispering* shhh

Sina: Open the doors, I wish to see Lady Hallflame.

*Doors creaking*

*squeezing arm*

*Sina gulping*

???: So You’ve failed.

???: Twice now.

???: 7 years and not a single failure then suddenly two in 3 days. But I’m sure you have a valid reason.
Sina: Y-Yes Lady Hallflame.

Sina: T-There were two adventures, not novices, but they were no veterans…a Redguard archer and an Akaviri swordswoman. They came to destroy the orb.

Sina: I fought them both and defeated them and they retreated, I thought they were done.

Sina: Then the Redguard came back, I found out she was part succubus, she wouldn’t go down, distracted me long enough so that the Akavir w-was.


Sina: able to destroy it.

Lady Hallflame: Beaten…..by two young adventurers.

Lady Hallflame: That is very unlike you Sina.
Sina: I-I have no words.

Sina: To express how I failed.

Sina: Please forgive me, I became overconfident.

Sina: I will except whatever punishment yo-
Lady Hallflame: There will be no punishment.

Sina: wha?



Sina: M-May I ask why?
Lady Hallflame: There were early signs this would fail, I merely wished to see how far we could get along this road before we were blocked off.

Lady Hallflame: There are many obstacles on the road to victory Sina. This was only the first. This blocked yes, but an obstacle can be moved. If you encounter a tree in you way, leave and combe back with fire magic burn it to ash and move forward. If you encounter snow, melt it with your flames and keep going. If you encounter a landslide, leave and come back with a shovel to move it. Learn how to counter each obstacle in your path, from every failure such as a poor shovel or weak magic to remove them and prepare so that the next time you encounter any obstacles along your road until nothing will stop you.

Lady Hallflame: It has been a long while since I have properly ventured out, but one thing is clear. The deaths of those warriors, the death of their king, and your defeat. It does not show we have become weak. It is that they have become strong.

Lady Hallflame: Strong enough for you to become unable to pass them to get back on the road to victory.
Sina: M-My Lady, a-are you suggesting we get stronger drones.

Lady Hallflame: No, we are going to attempt to recruit new commanders, be more careful with our selection as the last one wasted our time.

Lady Hallflame: I have made a small list of possible candidates, each of them stronger than you in a way, but just as infamous. By making deals and preparing them for the road ahead we can avoid being stopped by obstacles ever again.
Sina: T-Then, am I going to meet them.
Lady Hallflame: No.

Lady Hallflame: I will do this myself. You I have a different task. That rainbow staff I let you barrow was a prototype, I need you to collect the materials to make another as well as heading places to collect very specific items. These are key to my plans thus any failure to succeed in getting these could mean death, understand?
Sina: Y-Yes my Lady, b-but those two warriors, should i hunt them, they c-.
Lady Hallflame: No. An Akaviri is quite rare and so is a succubus, they might be useful to us later, so leave them be for now, understood?
Sina: Yes.

Sina: I will not fail you a third time.

Lady Hallflame: Good, now go rest, heal up, we have much to do, including moving from this place.
Sina: Yes my Lady.

*Opening door*

*Door shutting*







*inhale*

*exhale*

Lady Hallflame: Too many years….I was below all of them. Now I am above most of them. Soon.

Lady Hallflame: I shall be above All them.
*orb vibrating violently*
