☀️ Arselia and Akonia

"Ha-ha, very curious. Once again, ancient forces, as if by the wave of a magic wand, come to life at a fateful moment and emerge from the pages of history. Ancient emperors foretell threats. Holy figures with enormous swords bestow blessings at will. And mad priests break the seals of the dragon-destroyer's prison to show everyone how much they love Mother Anuzish. Perhaps, in terms of mystical coincidences, this world far surpasses my homeland."

- Well, in short, - Beata realized she was losing the third member of the conversation and turned to Alaria. - We're not crazy, but we saw this guy in a bar about a week ago. And it was from him that we learned about the Apostle of Despair.
- I confirm. People go crazy one by one, but we both saw him.
- Well, if Her Highness recognized him, and he looks like our current Majesty, this was to be expected.
- It could have been some court mage... But the emperor himself... And THAT SAME emperor... I don't understand anything.

- Sometimes rumors of death are greatly exaggerated. Sometimes immortals simply retire, for one reason or another. But there are other explanations," the former inquisitor smiled broadly, "for example, spells that 'sleep' until certain conditions are met. Given Raidar's numerous talents, he was clearly a far-sighted and knowledgeable man. He could have anticipated what happened. And therefore, he left such a reminder for posterity, which would only work if someone released Despair into this world. It's a little strange that the reminder made itself known in the bar of Ogma, but I won't speculate about the reasons," Alaria spread her hands, "I don't even know what was located in that place during the lifetime of the second emperor."
