Then Oliver will render his soul and the memory of himself to Violet ash using whatever abilities he can produce. To Oblivion. > >>"Death... I wanted True Death. But now it torture me. It holds me here, in complacency, that which I hate most. I tried to prevent my decent into madness with my actions, but... now I will kill us all." > >However, as the violet light flows through him he awakens in the storytellers field, in that ancient place of blooming life and prismatic sky. There in the Solace of the Story, Oliver will meet the others that wielded the Violet, joining them as the seven to provide guidance and hope to all that come after. For each color is an inescapable part of the journey, of the story, of the creation. Someone, like Oliver will become desperate, will steel their resolve to do what they believe is right. Stagnation requires change and change will shatter hearts, challenge beliefs and warp the world. [The Seven](The%20Seven.md) know that the wheel must turn, even if it seems unfair, even if it does not align with the beliefs of those within it. Change is inevitable and requires its past made open. To ensure such a path, there must always be, a traitor. > ># Afterimages >>[!info|no-i clean]- ### Kaia Piercer and the Silver-Grinned Dogs >>We were called back to the Pale City... >> >>Rumors. The rumors had been all over the place since they'd finished their business to the west, a change in leadership was said to take place. In fact, rumor was that Mytheria was back and alliances were shifting. >> >>Hell, with that, it could mean my punishment released and I can finally go home. >> >>Kaia sat on the stairs of her ship. Something had been bothering her. >> >>It's strange. It's not like me to forget something. For as far as I could remember, I always looked over the logistics, reports, and letters several times over, remembering even the most minor details. However, a hole had formed in my memory. >> >>While physically normal, mentally I felt at peace, but that was wrong. I can't recall something important and I checked again. >> >>What I found, a letter from the church regarding an Oliver Piercer. >> >>I've been sure, sure that all of my family had been long dead given my age now, and I haven't been told of any siblings, blood or otherwise, from any of the people back home. >> >>Either way, the letter seemed to talk about several things, things that are gone but I recall feeling in my younger years. >> >>In the note, a bounty was out for this Oliver Piercer's retrieval, however it seemed to fail. But in its failure, it seems that this Oliver is in search of me themselves. >> >>I had only fell in love once in my lifetime and it was in the west. That love didn't work out and it also cost me my eye, left me to bleed, and rot in the arms of the church... >> >>Regardless, I was given a point of contact. A Sally Soap in Flanderton. A shame that Flanderton has no seas but it does seem to have minor rivers. >> >>... >> >>(Upon arrival to the Pale City, Kaia Piercer disbands the Silver-Grinned Dogs under the Church's instruction. As she follows the lead to Flanderton... the name, Oliver Piercer, would disappear into obscurity and is never uttered again.) > >>[!info|no-i clean]- ### Finn Birchwish and the Birchwood Dogs >>Headaches... >> >>Fuckin Headaches... >> >>My meditations are being hindered as well, as if my balance is off... >> >>Finn stood over the edge of his ship, sailing past the western shores. >> >>We've spent time helping the Cathair na Gloine move supplies around since the emergence of the heroes of the west. >> >>It's been good work as of late, but I've had these whispers plague my mind... >> >>I meditated with Dagna when we touched down on land, but the natural forces seem to be nice and healthy so it's not the druidic forces trying to pass on a message. >> >>And strangely, this problem is spreading. It affects our older crew members rather than our new recruits. Tch, and some morans are givin' us silly explanations like that our members are getting old, in need of retirement. >> >>Sigh... >> >>Dagna would stand next to Finn, placing a hand on his arm, joining him at the dawn >> >>"Are you still bothered, Finn?" >> >>"No, it's nothing, love, I'm just thinking it may time to take a look at a few of those foreigner shamans when we get back to Cathair na Gloine..." >> >>(And as Finn Birchwish seeks the guidance of the shamans, knowledge of the colors, he learns something strange. However, he would re-marry and take the hand of another, also taking the last name of his spouse, leaving his past behind. In such the past will fade and memory with it, the Birchwish family would change vastly and the name lost to time under longer life spans.)
