He sat against the wall, lotus style, and opened to tome on his lap. He turned to the first written page, and began to read* ((would the reading be in my control, or yours, of both?)) The words seem strange and almost illegible, however when you touch the page they seem to make sense. It is as if a silent voice is reading to you. The words remain alien but their meaning fills your mind. "Herein lay the knowledge of the order of the..." Words enter your mind at once. Fist, dragon, wall. It is as if whatever unveils the meaning to you cannot fully portray its intent. "Keepers of the world, masters of body and mind." It reads. "Only the worthy can know these secrets." The words, which your eyes have been following, come to an end, yet the words continue. "You have been found wanting." A voice says, audible voice. A shade, this one formed of silver light, meditates before you. It is an Atlas, wearing the same ornamental garb as the one on the first page. "Your mind is different from that of the Keeper." It says. "Yet I sense the same potential within you." He tilts his head as if puzzled. "Am I wrong?" He asks. "Are you worthy?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The empire is no more but the humanity still out there. So it is not only your people whom we protect" She said while turning to the shade "Gallik, I assume?" "It is not only those who live on this world that are my people." Gallik says, nodding to your question. "The others have spoken highly of you."

Deeds done for the sake of spreading awe and fear, are deeds untrue; deeds done because they needed to be done are truth. The answers that I seek need be truth, for if they are not, then they will not help me in what I need to do." *Despite the shades challenging tone, Stabilis remained calm. A girl formed next to him, sitting straight legged. She was just before the turn of an adult, with void craters for eyes.* Reading something good, Stabilis? *Stabilis lowered his voice slightly* "Yes, Sarah. I am."
