Interview with Sirenna Caryn
Interview with Sirenna Caryn , transcribed by Ellmar Imra
Your name is Sirenna?
Yes Sirenna Caryn
And where are you from Sirenna?
The lands far west of here in a place you call The Waste
That cannot be. No one has come out of the waste in millenia, no-one, nothing survives there
My people do, we always have
And who are your people? How many are you? Why have you remained hidden for so long
We are few, and scattered now, but the time is coming when we will be needed. I bring a warning.
A warning, a warning of what?
The end of Ellios, the end of everything
Do you speak of a return of The Cleanse child? We survived that and will survive again!
No, the Cleanse was just the beginning. The Serpents have returned and their power is growing. There is no escape this time. They will prevail unless we prepare.
What are these serpents you speak of?
They are six, like those that came before, from Amnos. Only the hawks can stand against them
You’re speaking in riddles child. Amnos, Hawks, Serpents, I really don’t understand.
We must find the The Oharith . The vault that you hide must be opened so that we can prepare
What vault, I don’t know what you’re speaking of.
You do. You keep it secret, you fear it, men have died trying to open it. You regret that. More will die.
Well let’s assume for a moment that I did know of this vault, why would I let someone I’ve never met open it and take whatever might be inside, particularly if as you say men have died trying to open it before?
Because your survival, the survival of Ellios depends on it. If not now then in the years to come. The serpents will come, you cannot stand against them.
Who exactly are you, who sent you here, what do you seek to gain Sirenna? Who or what are these hawks you speak of? I'm afraid I find this all rather unbelievable and unless you tell me absolutely everything our discussion is at an end.
Some things you cannot know. The Oharith are all that matter now, they will show us the way, and the chosen will lead us.
And who are the Oharith, where do we find them. I suppose you think they're hidden in this vault you mention? This chosen? Person, people, thing?
The secrets of the Oharith are what I seek. The Chosen of the Enduring will lead us.
You continue to confound me with riddles and half truths. You come here from no-where speaking of fanciful things and asking for access to a vault that is only rumoured to exist. My child if I knew of this vault of which you speak I could not simply grant you access with no real knowledge of your intentions. These things you say, well they are madness.
Then I will find another way. And you will die at the beginning of the end.

Background
This young woman came to me one fine spring day in 2855AC. She appeared to be no more than 20 years of age but there was a look in her eyes that suggested experience far beyond her age.
