Re: The Path to the Throne
Ethan Adar
"Cephas." he replies and walks towards the door. He places his hand upon the latch but stops. Turning back for a moment he adds, "We hope you approach this invitation with the utmost seriousness. We are risking much more than you just by doing so. We look forward to seeing you again." The seriousness of the expression on his face tells you he means it. With that, he turns and steps quickly through the door.
After a moment one of the many Club servants appears to assist you. Instead of Hale, your regular servant, you are greeted by a small, thin man with a thin nose and black hair. He seems professional enough.
"Very good Sir." He says upon taking your request. After a few moments he returns with neither book nor papers in his hand.
"I am very sorry sir, but I regret to inform you that the Club no longer has permissions to the Arcane Directories. I was told that the decree signed by His Grace last month prohibited access to both the Census and Directories of all arcane casters.
In regards to the book on Kamanati crystals, the Club's library did not cover the topic, so I sent a courier to Kahmal University to fetch one. It should be here with in ten minutes. Perhaps a drink while you wait?"
After a short while he returns with two books; a large brown tome with worn pages and scuffed corners titled 'Cities of Minoto Valley' and the other a small book bound in green cloth titled 'Magic Stones'.
"May I be of any more service to you Sir?" the servant asks.
Lord Loss
"Next time, act so that you have no need for apologies. As for the illusionist; let us wait a moment. Anyone can stick a knife in someone's back. This man was cautious enough not to deliver his message in the flesh, let us find out why this is. Be cautious; do not underestimate him. You are dismissed." And with that, Arytekothar turns and disappears into the darkness.
Your aunt quickly orders the guards to lock and seal the doors and windows, and orders the servants to deliver your orders to the other members of the family, and the house wizard.
"Bless you, dear nephew. May your actions bring glory to the threshold of our great house." She bows and kisses your ring before turning and heading up the stairs.
Crushing the crystal in your hand causes a bit of red smoke to swirl in the air around your fist, and for a moment, everything goes black, and when your vision returns you realize you are in a large, dimly lit room with several hooded figures...
