Priest Fullbright is currently my patient, and I say he-

No, it's alright, Dia. This was going to come up eventually.
Sky
►
◄
It is both important in any pathfinding, and given what just happened, that you all trust me.
Sky
►
◄
K'Sarian has valid concerns. But that is not due to any lie, it is simply due to a lack of information.
Sky
►
◄
The answer is simple, but first, Rhys, I'll need you to understand what I'm about to say is priveleged information between myself and my pathfinding group.
Sky
►
◄
I will need your promise as a Lunist you will not share what I am about to tell them.
Sky
►
◄
You all saved my life. I owe you a debt, Priest, I can't repay. You have my word I won't tell anyone.
Rhys
►
◄
That is good enough for me.
Sky
►
◄
The answer to all your concerns is the same, K'Sarian.
Sky

◄
I'm an Ionian Dragoon. The Dragoon of Time.
Sky
►
◄
Really???
Dia
►
◄
!!
K'Sarian
►
◄
That would explain everything, actually. I admit, I was not expecting that as the answer, though.
K'Sarian
►
◄
Still, that should be easy to prove, if it's true.
K'Sarian
►
◄
You are correct. I have two tattoos to prove it. One on my right hand, and one on my back.
Sky
►
◄
I believe the one on my back will more solidly prove my words to you, though. If you'll help me take off my shirt...
Sky
►
◄
!!
K'Sarian
►
◄
That's Ionian tattoo ink, all right. Well, that's evidence enough for me. I can understand why you hadn't told us yet.
K'Sarian
►
◄
No, no no no. Hold up.
Arntta
►
◄
Let's all pretend for a moment that ONE of us, maybe me, has had a few drinks, has no idea what that symbol means, or what a 'dragoon' is, or anything about your drago religion.
Arntta
►
◄
Yours too now, don't forget.
K'Sarian
►
◄
Whatever. My drago religion. Pretend for a moment SOMEBODY here needs an explanation of what any of that means.
Arntta
►
◄
The dragoons are a special group of warrior-clerics that answer only to the Iahn, the figurehead of Ion and leader of the Lunist faith.
K'Sarian
►
◄
They're priests tasked with the protection of the Iahn, caretaking of various relics, and being the Iahn's hands throughout the world.
K'Sarian
►
◄
So he's one of them paladins.
Arntta
►
◄
Kind of. The paladins aren't priests as well, but he is. He's above the paladins and the religious council in authority.
K'Sarian
►
◄
We're the only priests allowed to carry weapons. That's also how I have the ability to call Rizoel. Which reminds me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Rizoel. You saved us.
Sky

THE CALL WAS NO INCONVENIENCE. THIS ONE IS ALWAYS GLAD TO HELP THE CHOSEN OF THE BOOKS.

Priest Fullbright, being a Dragoon, does that mean you've met the Iahn??
Dia
►
◄
Please, Dia. Call me Sky. And yes. I have.
Sky
►
◄
What's the Iahn like?? Do you think we could meet them??
Dia
►
◄
The Iahn is very kind. Tall. Being in their presence is very humbling. But my guess is you'll have a chance to meet them yourselves.
Sky
►
◄
Really?!?
Dia
►
◄
I imagine The Iahn will want to talk to me about what happened, and then may talk to all of you. Which I should probably be ready for.
Sky
►
◄
I would appreciate hearing everything about what happened with Cryostoria, so I can relay that information.
Sky
►
◄
We have the time now to talk. It will be a while before we reach Rotoridginfram. What happened, exactly?
