The wind of Shysh was thick as Lucian approached the site. The trees were twisted into some nightmarish form that was abnormally thin and long. As the crows sat upon those branches the Knight could not help but see that the trees were slowly moving to ensnare the birds who were sitting upon the branches.
Perhaps, if Lucian’s eyes did not lie to him, the trees were successful on some of them. Even some of the larger critters of the Forest who had unwisely made their way into this part of their magnificent forest.
What caught his attention the most was the chains that dangled over a large stone.
The rock itself was covered in numerous writings that Lucian actually recognized. They were the Runes of the Dwarfs, or perhaps it was the Old Ones who made use of those Runes as well. Lucian could admit though that the perfection and skill that made these Runes were so great that even when clearly weathered across eons they still remained recognizable.
In that appraisal, Lucian knew them to be Runes meant to dampen magic.
Around the rock appeared to be mighty chains which wrapped around it. These would have been silver in their hayday but now were a deeply stained grey that had lost all their luster. Perhaps it was because of Runes which decorated these as well, but even their clear age had not rusted at all.
As the Knight looked upon these workings he heard the flapping of only recently known wings. Lucian could see the Dragon making his way down as fast as he possibly could, taking an angle that was meant to place himself between Lucian and the Sealing which held a monster at bay.
He played a fool so as to trick him, the Knight realized, but now his secret was out. If Lucian did not act now then his single chance to turn the tides on the creature was to be lost.
And the Knight knew that even if these seals were made by the Old Ones, they would fail against the swing of a Smiting Scythe.
>Make the Seal a Hostage
>Come to a better understanding
>Break the Seal, fight whatevers within
