21st Day
P.S. The Solstice and Equinox have become one. Even in the riddle, it speaks of the Equinox, when the Solstice and another 7 days of the Equinox occur.
Ilvari's musings were interrupted by snow – a harbinger of the winter solstice, also known as the winter equinox in Jadame: a name that varied across different cultures. There was no time to lose. She slipped through the square to join Benjamin and the Oracle, who were heading towards the Loudrin estate.https://vk.com/oldenera
"What caught your attention, little dreamer?" The Elf and his wit were always quick, and this time was no exception. "I thought I'd lend a hand to you and the Oracle, perhaps you have something you'd like to ask, but haven't yet." But her thoughts were just as quick. "In that case, would you care to walk with us, Miss Ilvari?"
The city was a sight to behold. Ilvari remembered the times before the Loudrins, when it was just a couple of huts and fishermen, and historical records indicated the influence of the Templars in areas that could be considered the city's foundation. To see it as a thriving multicultural port was impressive, not just upon entering, but even while casually traversing its streets.
They reached the main road leading to the estate and stopped for a moment. "What is it that troubles you, child?" The Oracle sensed that Ilvari was here with a specific purpose, not just to contemplate the cityscape. "I was going to thank the esteemed Mr. Loudrin for his assistance. I fear that without his influence and connections, this council would not have fared so well. However, I would like to ask: what role do you play in this, dear Oracle? What did Benjamin ask of you to bring you here?"
The Oracle chuckled, slightly surprising the young Medusa, as they had been so composed until that moment. They looked out at the sea and said:
"Our task is to observe events as they unfold and to declare folly if it is not revealed and addressed. The young Elf was merely a tool to reveal your tasks at the most opportune time." They looked up at the sky and continued, "However, be warned, young Ilvari, for conflict is brewing within your very heart. It will consume both mind and soul, and the very fabric of reality will be torn asunder. When? We cannot say, for time does not flow as it should when it comes to them. We will observe your actions with great interest."
