The Prophecy Revealed
26th of Apollo's Rise
My first day back in my hometown was rather...jarring. It seems to have sprouted up since last I was here all those years ago and they changed the name. After spending the night at The Supreme Vampire, I went to the area which was the original town and sought out Father Tronnatel's grave. It was still intact, but rather worn out given how long it has been.
I stood there for who knows how long and returned his Apollo holy symbol to him and apologized that I had failed him and could no longer follow Apollo. I put his holy symbol on his grave and suddenly the headstone was pristine again, the rain around me had stopped, the holy symbol was etched into the headstone, and light broke through the rainfall shining on me and the stone.
It only lasted for a minute.
During the Silverblood festival in Kardio Kentro, King Alexios recounted a prophecy that had long since passed.
"When Darkness falls on the Light God's Isle
and monster lurk from within the rank and file.
When Tensions are high and a trickster's set free
look for the signs of your saviors to be.
A Vein of Silver, seeking those of Tainted Blood
look to the North & East for Friends amongst the Mud.
The Small One has fallen under Apollo's care.
One Death-Touched helped by the Lady Fair.
With the signs being seen, far from silent.
Only then will Kardio Kentro be Free of its Tyrant."
Upon first hearing, we realized that this prophecy spoke about us.
Vein of Silver - Me
Friends from the North & East amongst the Mud - Runa & Dezyotkov
The Small One under Apollo's Care - Sigurth
One Death-Touched helped by the Lady Fair - Enola
It wasn't until two days later after my encounter with Estavan that I realized the truth surrounding the prophecy, the Silverhands, and Kardio Kentro itself.
Firstly, Estavan, a Silverhand Captain, revealed to me that he is in fact a vampire and that all of the Silverhands are vampires.
This revalation was most intriguing since we learned that since the Silverhands are vampires, we unknowingly picked the one safe haven in Kardio Kentro to spend the night at, The Supreme Vampire. They have a sign at the front of their door reading, "No Silverhands Allowed" preventing them from entering the Inn.
After sleeping I decided to reread the prophecy and something in me clicked. The last line, "Only then will Kardio Kentro be Free of its Tyrant." The only person who was ever given the title of Tyrant on Kardio Kentro was my father, Aliaster Orpheus himself. But, if he was killed all those years ago, why would Kardio Kentro still have a tyrant?
It hit me like a tidal wave. He IS the tyrant in the prophecy, which means he is still alive.
With this information, I informed the group of this knowledge and we agreed to all find our way into the Heart Citadel, where my father most likely is.
