Chris Epting: A dog scratches and the door and the boy beyond (familiar face). They led me past the white market into the labyrthn that is island 6. Just north of the northeast corner of the white market,

Chris Epting: A strange bewildering journey through narrow streets, protected by a wily aggressive dog.

Chris Epting: coffee stores local, mosaics of tiles (almost like a prayer mat) very old but a different interpretation. passed 137 people.

Chris Epting: I arrive at the water's edge, down a stairway to the water. There is a bowed indent into the cliff. There is a very tall man standing there waiting for me. I can make his outline in the moonlight, he is alone. The runs ahead to the man sits and faces me.

Chris Epting: He is holding out a rock which is the final piece to the puzzle rock. As I take the rock I think I hear the word welcome. This man is far taller than anyone should be.

Chris Epting: I ask how did you know I would want this. His reply "I have been sending them to you."

Chris Epting: Thank you is there a purpose I need to know. His reply "together it will include you."

Chris Epting: Why me?" "You were sent and you are unique."

Chris Epting: "There is much to learn and I must teach somewho who can learn quickly."

Chris Epting: "It will be easier once you make your choice, I will leave you to make it."

Chris Epting: "Once you make the choice we will find each other. This is also protection so that your choice is respected."

Chris Epting: Thank you for giving me a choice, may don't give a choice. "Many so many never have a choice, to chose is the only gift."

Chris Epting: "You have made good choices, you have good friends, I would welcome you."

Chris Epting: He gives my an unitellible phrase in my response to my question who are you. He says "I have been waiting many... when I first came here there were only trees and birds." "This city this life, this teeming life is glorious, for once it could not be and I worry that it might not continue."

Chris Epting: He turns and a hawk lands on his arm, then takes off in another direction.

Chris Epting: Tajal says something about the future ect..

Chris Epting: "I feel you ponder ideas, not yours as truth, prophecy as truth. My gift is to understand now not the future." My struggle is now not the past or the future."

Chris Epting: He gestures at the staff at my hand. So many were put into seritude. You saw the egg, I did not wish to return. All are interrelated

Chris Epting: You are the one who waits" "I sent you the note."

Chris Epting: I knew they would return, they will recognise me and soon I will fulfill my former role."

Chris Epting: "They only see from here up" "And we work below"

Chris Epting: No need to rush." "We have months, years, you can take days to decide"

Chris Epting: Keep that near it is protection when together," "It is the last one."

Chris Epting: This is about a time before the earth fell, before Lielm existed.

Chris Epting: I am going to be missed by someone who has had too many shocks today.

Chris Epting: He gestures for a boat with that is being guide by a 5 or so otters.

Chris Epting: "leave your ... aquaintance to his chase." "Take your time here , there is nothing for him to find."

Chris Epting: I will nod and step into the boat

Chris Epting: The otters take me on a bumpy ride back to the house.

Lincoln Silk: You return to the safe house and fall into a deep sleep.

Chris Epting: I will stay at the safe house until the Amir returns.

Chris Epting: meditate, eat and sleep

Lincoln Silk: In the late morning of the morning of the 49th of Lirar in the year 372, Amir comes to the safe house and wishes you a good morning.

Chris Epting: I will stay with Amir until the evenings cremations. Look at the list of books

Chris Epting: Discuss with Amir Kitai's goals and motivations and the implications for various prophecies

Chris Epting: Blood of the Old One is Added last is a mystery to the order, and at this time a curiousity at best

Chris Epting: Are we being watched by Shadow mages - they are a complication we don't want

Chris Epting: Amir shares that he was at a conference with a Krudrun Clanmother who shared that the Krudrun were at one time slaves

Chris Epting: Amir is uneasy, and I am aware that what I thought was the shadow of the chair is gone and wouldn't have been the shadow anyways. No detection of magic I am sure that we were watched by a Shadow Mage less than a minute ago.

Chris Epting: I have read the pages previously that Kitai destroyed and I remember that the pages he destroyed said that The One Who Waits wrote "Blood of the Old One is Added Last."

Chris Epting: I will attend the funeral of Ramalaron the 50th of Lirar

Chris Epting: I cast detect magic and identify on the rock puzzle pieces, I know there is magic and that they go together.

Chris Epting: I then meditiate

Lincoln Silk: You meditate upon the two pieces of stone, the larger aggregate that has already been assembled from 5 smaller pieces , and the last piece that was given to you by He Who Waits.

Chris Epting: I have been meditating and I place my first rock on the path of truth. The things I know are true, Kitai has thrown away his faith, he who waits is an emignma

Chris Epting: The second stone goes on the path of devotion. I calm further and become centered. I remember and honour my colleagues and friends.

Chris Epting: The third rock sees me committed to this path by head of my order. I will the task to the end. The path of action, my mind is more alert and I am more calm. I see the path and the river heading south, I will go south but I am not certain.

Chris Epting: I place the rock on the path on honour and I know that I am making a choice. I will need to understand that the path of honour lies in joining the rock or not.

Chris Epting: Path of proclamation is a dead stone. Nothing is altered in may meditation.

Chris Epting: The path of devotion. Unlike honour there is no hesitancy with my devotion.

Chris Epting: The seven stone is placed, I am almost weightless and I see a grasslands. I open my eyes and see myself in a field and the ground is shaking. To my right there is an absolute green see of green creatures rushing towards me, there tails thumping in terrifiying noise. To my left is a motley horde of creatures tall, short and wide. Commanded by flying reptiles they meet the green creatures. (Dog like creatures and Krudrun) I feel like I am there, no moving but my gaze does. The green creatures are a chaotic group of terror. The others are more afraid of the flying creatures than the creatures charging them. Towering above the motley group is figure of He Who Waits. Grim and Sad, He turns and looks and troops respond to his silent command.

Chris Epting: My time here is limited and I am sitting exactly where the two armies will collide in a minute. He who waits is singular.

Chris Epting: The green creatures appear to be uncommanded and have the same object, to be the first on there. They appear to be looking forward to blood. they hiss in hatred to the flyiing creatures.

Chris Epting: There are two hundred flying creatures. Four legs, two wings, tails, and reptile like.

Chris Epting: To the left there are mountains. In front there are no mountains. The river is to my right and curves behind me. Mountains beyond the river to my right.

Chris Epting: I recognize where I am as I have travelled here before. No buildings or structures

Chris Epting: The scene fades and I have returned back to my normal meditation.

Chris Epting: Complete my meditation and then sleep

Chris Epting: The funeral is set just prior to the midday meal which participants will miss.

Chris Epting: I find food from street vendors. I then make my way to the Isle of the Dead. I walk to the end of the Island to the funeral sanctuary

Chris Epting: 150 people gathered, a representative of the Emperor is present. There is a representative from the Silimiri present.

Chris Epting: The Silimiri is Ba'alar Turnaq

Chris Epting: In hour three the guest have the opportunity to mingle.

Chris Epting: This is the 50 of Lirar a mazi

Chris Epting: Ba'alar Turnaq attempts to question me about my task and the stones I carry. Also asked about a man named Sjer Mihan

Chris Epting: The funeral is completed.

Chris Epting: Make my goodbyes to Amir. I will stay the night and head out on th 51st of Liraramazi

Chris Epting: Identify all of my new gear, before meditating

Chris Epting: I will travel by river and hire passage south
