”We are in a cabin on a tiny island untouched by any race in the middle of the largest ocean on the planet” she says getting up lazily “But that’s not important, why your here is because there are… anomalies in time and space that have been popping up, and you and your… future, friends are the key to solving the issue. But i cant let you all meet at once that would be no fun.” but i do have something for you, a way to learn about them if you will, now i am going to go pick flowers outside… cya later.” in a flash she is gone, but two crystal ball esque objects appear on the table. In one you can see a Kobald girl sitting under a large tree. In the other a more physically intimidating women who was currently in a losing fight against a pack of wolves, she seemed out of it constantly looking at things that aren't there, clearly disoriented.

You begin to hear to tree resonate with you, and thousands of sound waves fill the darkness of your closed eyes. White noise to most but not for you, well you saw a much clearer image. All of the plants, animals, anything that lived you could see all at once within a mile radius. You noticed two very high contention point, clearly not in tune, if you had to guess that would be your target. They were half mile from your current position, so it would take a bit of time but you should hopefully make it before anyone dies, you doubt link would be happy with that. And as much as you hate her, you probably don't want to make her mad at you.

She turns and smiles at you "Because my master is considered a terrorist by every known civilization on the continent." she doesn't break the smile, clearly not realizing the weight of what she just said, "but dont worry she is just misunderstood, i assure you she is wonderful women once you get to know her!" she says clasping her hands together. "Now, I cant really brute force through the gate, but you look physically strong." pasuing to look you over "I think if I enchant you, you might be able to fight them on your own, or of course we could try to take a more subtle approach."

Running down the ancient stone steps, the last thing you see is two chains extending over head grabbing a pillar, ripping it out of the ground throwing at the woman. You arnt sure if she dodged that one, but she has proven to be rather nimble. Your brought out of thought as you reach the bottom of the steps, down a long hallway there was some form of purple flicker, right beneath it was an ornate stone stone carving with rubies on it, the purple light was too blinding to get a good look, especially at this distance, stepping closer your foot hits something, looking at the floor you notice numerous chard corpses on the ground, the density of which increases the closer they get to the stone. (study roll 2) you manage to deduce based on there postion of death that they where killed by something stationary, and on both sides of them... ahah wall traps, some sort of flame creating glyphs must be transcribed into the walls, typical demons. After some inspection of the walls you find several symbols and pictographs, a little cryptography and careful maneuvering later you find a switch, disabling the glyphs. Now free to walk the rest of the way down the hallway you get a better look at the item. A small carving of an owl head, with one eye made of the same stone. But it's left eye was fragmented, shattered into hundreds of pieces, yet each piece was still in there correct position, you wouldn't even notice it was broken if not for the cracks. A stone tablet engrvaed beneath was written in a form of demonic language. (Study roll: 5 (holy shit)), once you shield the blinding purple light you easily recognize the characters and translation is simple. "The owl of introspection. Simply put ones blood onto the eye, when it seeps into the cracks the beholder of the artifact can read the thoughts of the blood's owner. This lasts only one minute after which it has no effect, that is until the eye shatters again the next sunrise." One thing written at the bottom, seemed encrypted, doing some deciphering you discover it has a second effect. "If the beholder of the artifact where to put there own blood inside with anothers blood, the beholder may alter the memories of the others. This effect only lasts until the next sunrise, at which point they will remember what actually happened, however they will not rember anything after the blood bond up to the sunrise." A remarkable discovery indeed, to think demons had such a complex understanding of minds, the owl of introspection itself must truly be a formidable demon. You notice the blinding purple light was getting even brightening, come to think of it, as far as you know demons dont have anything to do with this strange purple light and nothing in this room even mentioned it. It didnt belong here... what was it? And come to think of it, why was this women so keen on helping you get here? You arnt given much time to think however as a very loud metal clang is heard behind you, spinning around you see the body of the tormenter laying at the bottom of the steps, constrained in its own chains. Then a women lands on the armored body, she was ellegantlly dressed women clutching a jagged obsidian dagger (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-akB-_2U7n0c/T24tMG52MhI/AAAAAAAAAjI/OZJntxdzUHc/s1600/dark_angel_119162_1600x1200%5BtheAnimeGallery.com%5D.jpg) "So... you found it... good this warden wont restrain himself for much longer" stepping toward you she then adds "Go ahead touch the light" she says wasting no time in this very confusing situation to explain herself, just expecting you to obey.
