Quoted By:
The day after, I had went to the Woldorian capital to check up on Demharugh after her freedom. I met her and Eikn in palace. For once, rather than treating each other as master and servant, Eikn and Demharugh were speaking as equals. Though, Demharugh still chose to serve us tea, determined as ever to become the best maid. She resolved to stay behind and take care of the houses and palace, as she always has, but she had plans to venture out on some days ahead of her own volition, to go see the world in ways she never has before.
She was still undecided about Fairy freedom. The issue was something she was discussing long with Eikn, especially about how it might affect the rest of the world where Fairies lived.
I had a good visit, so I decided to depart now, rather than join in. I didn't want to try influencing Demharugh in any way. The decision was ultimately hers.
...
[IGMAN] "Strength."
'...?'
[IGMAN] "Immense. Massive. And Energy. Adaptable. It touches."
Oh? It's Igman. Just as I was about to teleport away, I looked over at a balcony, which was left wide open. I turned back and saw Eikn and Demharugh both still chatting at a table in this chamber. Well, of course, this was the Woldorian capital. It shouldn't be strange to see the members of its pantheon sticking around. It's just that Igman is a rather strange sort himself...
I stepped out on the balcony. He was, for some reason, posing himself atop the rail.
[IGMAN] "But whose touch is the one that matters more? Between Energy and... them. Or of strength and scale..." He muttered to himself.
'What are you talking about?'
[IGMAN] "..."
Didn't answer. I crossed my arms and sighed.
'I suppose you're waiting for someone to ask you, so you can point towards it. No matter how much you yourself ponder or ask about secrets, you can't point yourself to them, only others. Is that it?'
[IGMAN] "Secrets are many. I cannot know them, for it would not be a secret then. But I can show one how to uncover them. That is all the God of Secrets can do. That is the way. I am guided by the higher will. I come and I go."
'Yeah, you've told me this... exact same thing before.'
[IGMAN] "I am a discoverer. Search by me."
(Igman's patience: 1 question.)
>What will I ask the Woldorian God of Secrets?
• "Tell me the secret of Strength."
• "Tell me the secret of Adaption."
