Journal of Narisse, the ritual of stonegate

We arrive at our destination and line up in front of the door. Determined to chant our Mantra's and to not move when Greypawn and his men arrive. Our wait is a short one. We begin chanting as they arrive, and are completely ignored! Wanting to see her son, Azrielle heads inside only to be stopped at the door by a couple of goons. Aleph joins his wife, and together they attempt to get by the guards. The rest of the Sages file inside to lend whatever support they can. Of course, Greypawn sees our presence as a threat and orders us to leave or be killed! The Aeir's stand firm, only to be cut down for not following Greypawn's request. Skylar, Analeiza and Lionel attempt to keep them alive and wind up murdered themselves.

I am appalled that Greypawn would order unarmed Sages slaughtered. Yes, indeed, it is time for action; I have tried to embrace my wise old friends words that Justice is not Vengeance, but it is getting more difficult to do so. it is just a matter of time before Greypawn is brought to Justice.

Greypawn agrees to let us watch the ceremony. So much chanting...Ander reads from the book of truth, "What quality compels one to share in the journeys of others? COMPASSION. What dost thou possess if all may rely upon your every word? HONESTY. What answers when great deeds are called for? VALOR. What should be the same for Lord and Serf alike? JUSTICE. What is loath to place the self above aught else? SACRIFICE. What shirks no duty? HONOR. What is that which Serfs are born with but Nobles must strive to obtain? HUMILITY. What, in knowing the true self, knows all? SPIRITUALITY." The artifacts begin to glow, and Greypawn hands the Candle of Love to Ander.

He continues to read, "If all else is imaginary, what is real? Truth. What plunges to the depths while soaring on the heights? Love. What turns not away from any peril? Courage." He lights the Candle of Love and rings the Bell of Courage. Thunder erupts from the sky. Ander continues, "What is the one thing which encompasses..and is the whole of all undeniable Truth, unending Love, and unyielding Courage? Infinity." The Three-Part Word of passage. "VERAMOCOR!" Greypawn says, "EVOCAREM AVATAR!" Sosaria says, "We are not ready for that one. Our Balance would be disturbed. We remove your ritual from existence." Greypawn and Ander disappear
