A lot of things happened on the way… it was scary at the time, but when you think about it later, it was mostly just exciting. Except for when Rhogkun got sick. Or asleep. Or… whatever is wrong with him. He was doing a trance to check the road ahead and he just… didn’t wake up. Swindle says he’s okay, except for that.
And he was saying things, like a prophesy, and it didn’t… it didn’t sound very good. Swindle said it was:
"One brings shadow, one brings light
Two-toned echoes, tumbling through time
Fourscore wasted, three cast aside
Five fold knowing, no end in sight
One brings shadow, one brings light
One dark future no one survives
On their shadows, away we fly"
And that reminded me of my fortune that I haven’t thought about in forever and… I don’t feel very good about that either. None of it.
But we made it to Ivorfall! Getting in was long and made me a little nervous. You have to cross a huge bridge over a chasm. I guess there’s mining down there. I knew about that, but I never pictured anything so…. big. There were a lot of guards, and they checked everything and asked a lot of questions. And they have a room full of arrow holes.
Ivorfall is a huge city inside a mountain. It’s on a few levels, but just this one is huge! Swindle and Max went to look at all the temples which is… boring. So me and Variel went to look at all the inns and taverns. Delebean is staying at the Gateside Inn. They had a weird spicy drink.
We found out there was a Surgeon so we went to ask him about Rhogkun…. He was very interested, and came back with us to the Gateside, where Rhogkun’s sleeping. I’m worried a little, you know? But the doctor seems like an okay person. Maybe he can help us.
