 He attempts to charm me by touch. I barely pass the check.
 His face distorts.
 Ky'Mytha speaks in my mind: Do not fall for his tricks.

 We begin chatting at a table as Noxx attends to the tavern.
 We exchange our days experiences and Locke explains the gyroscope he found.
 Neil is putting forward a great performance knocking peoples socks off.
 I approach a half elven man alone at a table after we have a short mental conversation.
 Finest elven vintage the valerian vassal wine.
 Eldric is the half elven man in disguised.
 He says the name Cache.
 He speaks of it in a reminicing manner.
 I helped build something incredible.
 Apparently we were visionaries.
 Do you know how rare you are.
 A survivor. Magic hums with the echo of something.
 Cornerstone of a process that could change everything.
 And yet the memories are scattered arent they.
 Not quite gone but elusive like whispers in the dark.
 Trauma can fray the edges of the mind especially when done by magical means.
 Perhaps it was a mercy.
 The town didn't die.. it shifted.
 Something went wrong yes, but wrong isn't always meaningless.
 What happened in Cache was the first step to a brighter stronger future.
 One that needs you.
 He sets something on the table but does not reveal it.
 As he lifts his hand he reveals a familiar piece of octagonal oracalcum he gave the king as tribute.
 He has higher duties now, lots of secrts in his care.
 > Bit obtains a piece of octagonal oracalcum
 When I'm ready to remember -- just know I cannot undo what has already transpired.
 A man will lose himself trying to correct the past.
 Should I ever want to return to a higher purpose, I need only to reach out.
 He pulls out a piece of scratch paper and writes something on it and gives it to me.
 An encantation written in elvish: Zerith Varr
 I know translates to: To find and seek
 You need not tangle yourself in the mistakes of your crew.
 Everything in my body feels dark, I feel like the memories are right there.
 Information is certainly being withheld.

 We leave for the last known whereabouts of Waarad Were.
 The day is now: 14th of Manaros
 As we are traveling I am sitting in the back of the cart.
 I then hear what sounds like; a channeling of magic.
 It's off to the driver side back tire of the cart.
 Neil has the memory of what the noise is..
 Shembulock, goes out and scouts the noise.
 He sees something that looks really hot.
 Neil realizes that he has heard the noise before..
 These are the noises he heard before the opening of the rift, near his home.
 Neil's house in the thundercost backed up to a medow that backed up to a cliff.
 Neil explains that this rift happened at his home.
 Neil's mom investigated it for the next three weeks.
 Neil read her notes:
 She thought it was a magical disaster, or a fracture.
 She didn't have much besides it being a magical disturbance.
 He heard a loud bang one day and there was the iPod and a stream of smoke coming off the fracture.
 As we walk over to the fissure we hear the pulsing fizzling sounds clearly.
 We see about a five foot square in the forest that has this constant ebb of energy.
 Rippling as if it were really hot.
 I throw a rock through it, it ends up on the other side.
 We then hear a much lounder sound that startles the ripples.
 I throw Alfred...
 Noxx standing on the other end, notices something.
 It passes through the threshold of the portal, he makes it half way in and then..
 A flashbang happens, we hear a louder magical boom.
 Noxx sees for a moment, something that could be a hand wrap around the frog.
 Once it rippled the area changed into the crack that Neil is familiar with.
 The hand had a yellowy white glow to it.
 Alfred is is more than one place.
 The message Bit attempts to send fails.
 Neil sets up the iPod in front of the crack and begins to play.
 It starts with `Detroit Rock City`, and moved on to `Empire of Broken Dreams`.
 We are about to send Shembulock through the crack.
 We jump into the portal.
 We feel as if we have hightend senses but have no physical form.
 We feel ourselves losing a sense of where we are.
 Bit begins to hear a muffled whisper 'you fool', maybe Ky'Mytha
 We all begin to hear memorable whispers of characters in our lives.
 Locke hears voices of his mother and father.
 Noxx his tavern and Ratjaw.
 Bit hears a tender voice but strangely knowing as my former master gives commands that we are unable to decipher.
 All of sudden a warm sensation begins.
 Our bodies begin to feel as if they are being moved as if they are in a river.
 A white blinding flash and then absolute darkness.
 Our eyes open, and we look up to see the blue sky.
 Clouds above, trees around. The crack is nowhere to be seen.
 Neil casts sending to his mother. Nothing.
 I reach out to Ky'Mytha. I make a connection.
 I hear 'your skills are impressive to reach me at such lengths'
 'you have gone somewhere beyone distance'
 We need to gather some information to help Ky'Mytha get to us.
 We meet a guy on the small path, he doesn't know what a year is.
 He came from stonemarsh. Names Darvey.
 Coin is stamped with Valerian Symbol.
 Valeria was the first kingdom, Telius segregated around 3,000 years ago when the veil was created.
 Telius Diggum is the founder.
 Bit invades Darvey's mind and converts him to be a deciple of the Traveler.
 Fey realm time is 4x slower than normal time.
 Neil asks a member of Stonemarsh if there is a temple around.
 Priest Babu is the spirtual leader around here.
 Stonemarsh is the largest city around.
 The Capital is around 5 seasons away.
 The mayor's name is Keith.
 Neil contacts Taterthorn the timeless.
 He hears: 'Neil was it, that name tastes familiar''Come on Babu sees all.'
