"Hmm, one of the reality anchors must have broken down." the ghostly Abraxas deduces. "Have you got the bones? Got the engram? Got the mirror? You should be able to fix it with those. It will be clear to you what you must do at the anchor site."
"Yeah, we already knew that - but what we want to know is the truth about these reality anchors. Just in case this kind of thing happens again." You stare, and asks Abraxas a question.
"What -are- the Reality Anchors?"
You can see Abraxas' ethereal face contract, like a shadow of regret passed by for a moment, or an unconvenient truth about to surface.
"...Dead gods, to put it simply." He exhales, a ghostly sigh. "You wouldn't believe the lengths the Eternal Empire went through to turn Gongalla into what you see now. They'd even kill four gods to serve as the pillars to this place."
Around you, you can see Borges, stunned but not that surprised, as if he guessed it before, and the two nuns incredulous, more mortified at the implications of their religion.
