Through the Living Wrath

He does not have a stone. He is in a cell.

“Give me some corn, and I give you water.”

Down the block of cells, he could hear muttering. The table cleared to a picture of the cell block, each prisoner depicted separately.

Maybe she should ask around - there was a reference calling her the Healer.

@Hawks It was a history of the one who came to be known as Madness - including the time she posed as a Priest of the Rending.

It references his emergence - the Healer brought him out of obscurity just before the rise of the Great Spirits.

It was grand, and detailed the life of the Eternal King - it had lots of gaps in its knowledge, though. The Eternal King fell between the islands during the Rending, leaving his Queen to govern - he survived within, just barely. No one is sure why. @Spark of Hope The farmer looks at the basket, and the corn disappears. “Why are you here?” @Argenti may be interested to hear about this.

The Rending was a period of time in which Tel, the First Render, inherited the power of the Ashes in order to separate the forces of Aeia and Keylana permanently - Aeia was referenced as the Duchess of Light. It mentioned something about a the Ichor - how it strengthened The Judge and powered his immortality. Thrre wasn’t much mention of the Flame. Now, you are with everyone else. @Spark of Hope @Through The Living Glass @Bird Furious Two people walk into the room. No, there was a lot of corn. A lot - the baskets were completely full. He was starting to get thirtsty.

“It depends. We need to figure out why the Slumber occurs, and… stop it.” He pointed to a door. “I believe the others are already researching?” The farmer raised a hand. “No. You pick more corn.” It was very hot outside. There was no water.

“That’s the problem. In history, he fell asleep, allowing the Twins to kill him and steal his eyes, becoming deities.” The book was a generic history book. However, in the index, the book had many, many references. The farmer gave him the stink eye. “That’s not enough. I need more.” He was sent back. No

The book didn’t mention much more of them - but did go into the strange practices of the Priests of the Rending - the author notes that, although the priests were far from correct, the Rending was one of the acts aligned closest with the Flame that had happened in their history. I find it curious that the Judge - Consort of Aeia - would grow into the monster he became. He was even named for his Rage, later in his immortality. “Did he seem… tired?” The basket glowed green when it was full. When he placed a hand on its handle, he teleported, brought face to face with the farmer.

“Before you came here, a figure would have talked to you, yes?”

“It will take time to adjust, I understand. But the Flame has a task for you.” The man softened his voice. “Look… the Flame, he isn’t doing to hot. He has a problem stopping him from functioning as well as he could. That’s where you come in, yes? You’ll help solve that problem, and the Flame will be able to sort through your problems.”

Lol ye

The book details the research of Weala - and her history as she transitioned from the Healer to the False Priestess to the Great Spirit. Apparently, she spent her time attempting to find more about the deity the Twins had killed. “I understand. If you have any problems with the Intellect’s University, please leave a note.” The man hesitated. “The Flame handpicked people to enter this reality. He couldn’t pick everyone.”

The statue talked again. “I can summarize those, if you wish!” The book was detailing the reign of The Tyrant Judge.

“No… you won’t.” He shifted. “One of Pyk’s friends is here, though.”

Cool.

The man hesitated. “Asher…. Is not here.” Two of them were glowing.

An automated voice sounded. “Hello, students. The Flame has elected you to help research a problem as old as it is! And it’s…” *whispering* “pretty dang old.” “Throughout time, The Flame has tackled something called the Slumber!” ”This library contains a living record of all history. Ever! It is up to you to find the root of this problem! I have highlighted important texts - bring them to me for a summary.” @Hawks ”You could say that, yes. It represents the perfect duality of destruction and creation.”

It was a statue.
