☀️ Arselia and Akonia

— 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 Ogma’s bar, 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 time of the second emperor.”

- I... I don’t understand anything about magic, but it sounds logical.
- And is it true that something was in the place of the bar?
- Maybe it’s not about that? Maybe it’s about Ogma himself, or a combination of factors, or вообще who knows what, it’s just damn magic.
- Magic, of course, is magic, but it seems to have its own rules and laws? Otherwise, Kilik and Merel wouldn’t have disappeared in the magic academy.
- And Merel wouldn’t have disappeared in Kumari...
- Uh-huh... But in principle, it sounds logical. He could have known about Despair too. He was quite alive at that time. And since Raidar was closely associated with the dragon king...
- Wasn’t Raidar himself some kind of singularity?
- Then he wouldn’t have died? Probably...
- Maybe he didn’t die... Who knows.
- And what else was in the book? How did he defeat the king? With his magic?
- Beat, let’s read it ourselves later, okay? Let’s not spoil it.
- I’m interested!
- I’ll be interested to find out myself.
- Okay, fine. But still, is there anything useful in it that can help us in the battle? Or just stories about a super-cool mage who could take down anyone with a single sneeze?
