I want Florimel to learn from me the accident at her place, but she and Marcus are not reachable via Trump. I decided to head to shadow earth to leave a message with Consuela.

After a long ride on the waves, gosh this shadow is far…, I arrive to the location of the crater that was Florimel’s home. Consuela was nowhere to be seen, and the neighbors weren’t very forthcoming… apparently there is some subterranean location “down town” where I could ask Mr. Police for information. I couldn’t find my way…

Trumped Erin (who grew up on this shadow) knowing she could give me directions. I learn about a very bad attack in Helmwind, poison was poured on the water supply and crops. Bastards !, many livestock and about 40 people died.

I went there immediately, and started figuring out how the poison worked, trying to come up with an antidote. Before we were done, Erin received a trump from Kira and while they were in contact they both got wrapped up by a demon. I tried to forcibly shapeshift the demon, it laughed at me.

Erin’s jewel started to glow menacingly, and I jumped out of the window shape shifted into a bat and flew away. Bright light, lots of fire, image of a Giant Woman-Torch.

When the worst of it passed, there was no sign of the Demon, but Kira and Erin seemed ok, although Kira was dressed only by receding flames. I pulled from Vitae a blanket to cover Erin, who was taken by Kira to Amber.

I then went to my little sister Galia, the seer. I was speaking with her, but the words were coming not coming from me, they were coming from my destiny. This tragedy opened a clear vision of my Oleai destiny: creating Refuge, a place where Oleai can live on their native Vitae, undisturbed by the intrigue and wars of Pattern and Chaos, Helmwind is a borrowed place, an experiment that did not work. You cannot mix water and oil… Oleai don’t belong here.
