Now for the Story


“Those weapons are enchanted,” explained Cascon.
“Enchanted, by whom?”
“They are enchanted by the Enchantress Maega.” (The Enchantress Maega was the most famous and powerful Enchantress in all of the land. She was very ancient and secluded, so no one even knew if she was real.)
“The Enchantress Maega – why would she enchant them?”
“I don’t exactly know why, but I do know that she did it.”
“How are you so sure it was her?”
“Because before I ever came up with this plan to get the Treasure of Sunken Paths, I met her in a little town called Atshap. I don’t know what she was doing there, and I don’t really want to know. Anyways, I was just passing through the town on my way to home from Tradjeim. As I was about to leave the town, a woman came up to me and said, ‘Come with me; I have something important to tell you.’ I was interested enough to follow her. She took me to a small tavern in middle of the town. There she told me to sit next to a table with an oddly shaped transparent-blue-colored crystal formation. I sat there, and she sat across from me. Then she murmured some indistinguishable words, and she seemed to see something in the crystal although I saw nothing. She then told me that she was the Enchantress Maega. I was dumbfounded and perplexed as to why she was there, but I shrugged and just went on normally. Then she mysteriously got up and walked out of the tavern and returned an hour later with a long scroll of paper. I had been too interested now to leave. She then sat down again and began reading off the scroll, which said nothing of importance except that a stronghold of great warriors had been overwhelmed by an enormous number of demons and that there was some sort of treasure there that was called the Treasure of Sunken Paths. When she finished reading, she did not wait for me to say anything and began to tell me where it was and how to reach it. When she finished, I asked why she had told me all this. She simply replied that it was destined for me to uncover the treasure. Then she said that I would meet up with others that would also be destined but would not know it since she would not speak to them as with me. She said that I would also befriend a demon, which I believe to be Sanguis, who would be very important in fulfilling my destiny. She said that she would help the demon once but failed to mention how. She did say, though, that it would only be minimal help, considering it was a demon that she would help. I believe that she sent the enchanted weapons. After that, she said that I could then leave and go on with my life normally until it was time to search for the treasure. That time was not too long ago. It was when I first told you about the treasure. I deliberately kept all this from you because I did not want to say anything that I was still unsure was true but, somehow I just knew the treasure was real. I still feel the same way.” Cascon had left out the part that said there was betrayal in the near future. He thought it was unimportant.
“Interesting,” Gilgal said as Cascon came to the end of his story. “Interesting.”
“I still don’t know why she did it, but I believe her to be an ally.”
“Yeah, she must be.”
