PenPlays Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Read the story important prequel!: Cristil Bloom Beacons of Burrium Strolling Through the Woods Note: This story takes place during the Challenge V period. Dawn of Ages Chapter 1: Breaking from Innocence, Part 2: Scalous Rocks Continued from "Strolling Through the Woods, the somewhat part 1 to this chapter (hence the title). The two men made their way towards Scalous Mound, deep within Scalous Forest. "How does the old Colosseum look like?" asked Owlan. "Abandoned. Ancient..." Malivan said. "Definitely a Mystic Sanctum, though. Only a fourth of the original building remains, and by the looks of it, it was inhabited by a dragon." "A Dragon!?!" Owlan cried. "It was. Probably from some time in the Dark Period before Avalonia was established as a Guild." "Yet another time period I have no knowledge of..." "You know Denitor has a library, right?" Malivan asked. "You should find quite a bit of information there." "I get that," Owlan said, "but... I can't comprehend how much I have to read through!" "Who ever said anything about learning it all? I doubt anyone even knows the history behind everything!" "You know why, though. I have a memory of some land once beautiful; ravaged by overlords who wish to claim the lands for their own. Also of some wizards and a man I once called Father." Owlan looked down to the muddy road. "How would I be able to find the exact texts that would jog my memory?" "Well... let's use some reasoning here. You don't know of the Dark Period. That is a good place to start." Owlan shrugged in slight agreement. In the distance, the clopping of horse hooves drew nearer. "What took you boys so long?" the mounted man asked. "We had to tie Owlan's horse down before we walked through the bristle patches. It can't leap them," Malivan said. "Does it really matter how much time we take, Drinnian?" "You know me too well, Malivan," Drinnian. "I always have something scheduled." Drinnian led his horse through the bushes around his colleagues. "Where are you going? What about Scalous Mound?" "Well... I love it. It has several rooms that would suit for housing, but with a mass of people, we'd surely become disease ridden." "So we are abandoning it?" "Of course not. I intend for us to move in! I believe that I may be the only Keeper of the Peace that does not have his own massive home!" Owlan and Malivan looked at each other. It seemed that Drinnian was through with living in the Lord of Burrium's castle. "Now come on, boys," Drinnian said. "As I said: 'I always have something scheduled,' and we have an execution at dusk. His Lordship shall not be pleased if we do not accept his invitation. And don't forget that we also have to get the last supplies we need for our trip to Petrea in the morning." The two on foot followed the horseman into the woods. * I apologize for the lack of an image of the full MoC. The next sunny day I get, you can expect one. C&C is always welcome.
