5246 To Sparrow, From Dom Domainoft I am not angry with you dear boy. For as you said it, you do not understand what has happened So I will tell you. Many nights ago when you followed me to my Isle, I showed you around. After we had talked for a long while and night turned to day, and day back to night. I had finished telling my story of the Blessed Sword, and you of your life. As I was reading through your story of how you came to recieve these blackouts and how your soul is taken from your body by Iblees without your concent. at that moment, you blacked out. I had a very long talk with your body, who wished to be called Sparrow as well. Even though he made it very clear that he was not you, He told me that Iblees himself directed him to come here and kill me. For a very many of reasons. One because of my escape from Wrath, two the Blessed Sword, three my becoming a living Oracle, which really irritated Iblees as the last one was his and named Prophet. these are troubling times, and the sages decided that the burden was to great to give me all the powers of the Oracle at once, They wished instead for me to learn them for myself. As a moral. :: I have killed many assassins before, but they have either been hired hands, or members of the Undead themselves. in either case I felt little remorse. You good boy are quite differant. I am torn between two words constantly, A battle I am afraid I lost the other day. But a battle I had to find out the answer to, The realm of Iblees is beyond my reach. Just as it was for the Prophet, yes even though the lived with Iblees he could not tell His destony to him. The other day, I binded your body to me. That it might do my biding here instead of Iblees Not something I knew would work, or expected to last very long. The fact that it did at all Give my hope strength that you might rise up to defeat your father. After some time the body and I were visted by a ghost from Iblees. I could not see the Spirit, but your body could and it spoke for it as well. Saying that If your body did not Kill me, your soul would be lost forever. I know quite a bit about Iblees, enough to tell you that he will not kill you unless he has lost all faith in you. I called his bluff and the spirit disapeared. I then set the body on a new "focus" I told it to go the wise druid Respiren, tell him of your taint and ask him for the Seed of Life. Shortly after this your spirit returned to its body, it was not me that did such but you. The power over your body is only in Ibless's hands as long as you let it be. I do not know what power your diamond necklace holds, only a small bit of information on how it was even created. I still think the best coarse for you and I is to seek Respiren and ask him for his guidance. Do not however go to another druid with details. I believe that Lord Native himself has been corrupted by Iblees, we must be very careful I recently learned that he had given a Golden Staff to a man known to deal with the Undead, in truth this man housed them in safety as they ploted. The giving of the staff Was in secret told only to a friend of his, who told it to me when I told him about his friends dealings, and showed him my proof. .:: I do not know how receptive Respiren will be toward helping us, I wish Hwaldar was still around. I will not remove my banishment from this Isle. For my safety and for yours I can not. I now know that they will not so easily discard your soul as they do many others. that Knowledge shall be a mighty weapon for us when the time comes. for now we must stay appart least they try and have your body do me harm. After reading this message you are to leave the Island and head East some distance. when the time comes and I beieve we can remove the taint I will come and find you. If you so choose to search for the answer yourself, Know that you put many lives at risk of your bodies evil. And If I see you on the Island I will take it as a sign that your body had again taken over, and smite you without delay, regreat, or remorse. :: :: Signed -Lady Dom, Oracle of Aegis
