The Three Tears

[gathera]

I stared darkly down at the vail set before trying vainly to control the trembling of my hands. The sight of that plain silver vessel reminded me with what I would soon be instore for. Not precisely, the sensations were always different. It was more than end result; pain. Last time it was fire, the time before it felt as if my skin was being peeled away. Fire was worse. The smallest of sips would impart such an intense exquisite agony. Writhing howling torments always with endless variations save one most important detail. It brought me to tears. Jaikzi gods curse that man, what sort of mind creates a book that may only be read while crying. Not just mere tears, peeling onions would have sufficed. No it required both tears and strong emotions. It was a grueling mentally taxing ordeal to study the tome but I had managed. I persevered to unlock Jaikzi’s secrets and thanks to Ezra and Beladra I knew now where the first of the tears would be found, Hilp.


Three tears will be the gate
Three tears shall be the gate
Three tears are the gate

Three roads must you travel
Three roads must you choose
Three roads will lead to one

Three sorrows shall you know
Three sorrows shall you name
Three sorrows shall you find

Three tears will you call
Three tears will you name
Three tears will you find

Three tears made through loss
Three tears made through regret
Three tears made through betrayal

Three together, two joins one
Three safe, two joins one
Three rejoice, two joins one




This is the first in a three part series of adventures, The Three Tears. I plan to start May 4th at 7:30 PM Mountain standard time. We will set out from Great Gaunt. If you are interested love to have you along.

Aurelili'ilia, hidden, escapes Theravien's pouch and goes to scout about... Drunk as always and chewing on hallucinogenic mushroom,
she squints at the poster and blinks few times, till she starts seeing the letters... Stops chewing for a moment and grins...

*Comes close and does arm pit farts in the poster. Takes plate and fork and scratches... *chortles and makes pig like sounds* does few jointed burps and farts. Tells nasty jokes in flawless drunken speech while scratching her beer belly. Sees Theravien looking for her, and hops in his pouch without him noticing.*

A second poster is placed up.




I will be delaying the start of the first of the Tears until May 11th starting at 7:30 PM Mountain Standard time.

May 4Th is Star Wars day Free Comic Book day and a tournament day for the new Magic the Gathering set. So yes insane lol. Thought it best to delay by one week. Sorry about that

I had asked and the other had spoken. Communication with the other was to say at best an arduous process limited in the time and durations in which we might speak. Still I had managed.

The Three Tears of Loss
Loss of Love: For a dragon who loved silver more than gold
Loss of Land: For the village of Hilp now and forever cursed
Loss of Life: For the countless dead of Hilp the silent witnesses to tragedy

I had the what's and where's, now all that remained to see if the other was correct. Time, as it always will does tell.




May 11th starting at 7:30 PM Mountain Standard time. This will be well after the SilverThorn Monster hunt event which if I calculate the times shift correctly is in the afternoon 1:00 PM Mountain Standard time.

The three scarlet gems rolled around in the palm of my hand. I knew it was not wise to hold such a talisman for long, still the gems were magnificent. The tears had taken considerable effort but they were mine now. The other had spoken true.



This is the second part of the Three Tears. The Tears of Regret. We will meet in Great Gaunt Saturday May 18th starting at 7:30 PM Mountain Standard time. Hope to see you there!

The tears of Regret were stunning. The three gems glittered on the velvet cloth. Starkly different than those of Loss they were cold, clear, and beautiful. Still without the third set useless. I was too close now to fail. Anything it took, anything to succeed I knew that I would do exactly that. Whatever the cost.



This is the third part of the three Tears, the Tears of Betrayal. We will meet in Great Gaunt Saturday May 25th starting at 7:30 PM Mountains Standard time. Hope to see you there!
