~The Unravelling of a Truth~ 2
The Novella sat on a cushion at the back of the small tent. She could hear the wind blowing outside, and the soft patter of snow against the sides. She wondered why, suddenly, she was not cold. She glanced warily at the Oracle, she had heard rumors she was more than she seemed. What she "seemed" was more than daunting, already.
The Oracle sat across from her, and spoke. "Have you any knowledge on the start of this world? Of the Gate and the Gods?" The Novella was surprised. She was rather nervous about where this was going. "I have learned a bit from my...Travels, yes." The Oracle seemed to lose focus for a moment, and then regain it. "So you have." She said this with what sounded like...relief? Approval? The Oracle continued. "Who entered Gielinor through the World Gate, The Novella?" The Novella had been ready for this one. "The Elves and the Humans, Oracle." This brought a brief smile to the Oracle's face.
"Time decays all; stone, wood, magic...Truth. Today you learn the truth, The Novella." And with that, she was pulled through a tunnel of darkness.
