Fredrick looked behind as he was stepping further and further away from the campfire. The light from the fire started to dissapear as he turned his head away from the campfire and back in the direction he was heading. It felt good to walk away from all that crazyness. The tension was so obvious you could cut it with a dagger if you could. But anyway, as he was stepping forward he noticed drops of blood on the bark of a tree and some on the ground. They were also accompanied by some footsteps, heading towards a certain direction. Fredrick leaned down as he checked the blood and the footsteps. He started smiling afterwards as he rised back up. They were from that bandit that tried to rob him some moments ago, that he wounded but which he lost because he got distracted by the girl and her campfire. 

As he was following the footsteps Fredrick remembered that the elf woman spoke something about a bandit camp not far from the ruins where they were at the time. [color=f26522]"Of course, now it all makes sense. That bastard that tried to rob me was surely one of those bandits. And now his footsteps will lead me straight to their camp. It looks like i'm gonna be severing some heads tonight."[/color] He said as he started running while following the footsteps. However all of his plans for vengeance towards the bandit that tried to rob him were spolied as everything turned white and he found himself in a circle, together with all of the people from the campfire as well as two new arrivals, a halfling and a possible dwarf. Then a woman appeared, dressed in a flowing white gown and with golden hair.

The woman spoke as she started admonishing them because of their attitude towards one another. After the girl asked her who she is the woman introduced herself as Lyphera, Messenger of the Old Gods. Fredrick was so stunned by everything that was happening, he didn't even reacted in any way. He just listened to everything that Lyphera said. That particular vision with the burning village and with people of all races being slaughtered by giants was particularily disturbing. Once Lyphera was done, everything returned back to normal and they were all back at the ruins, with everybody standing in the same circle with the campfire burning in the middle of it.

The halfling, Halen, who was in shock as well, was asking if everything was real and what will they do now. Imidieatly after that the centaur apologized for his attitude towards them. [color=f26522]"No harm done!"[/color] Said Fredrick as he looked at him and crossed his arms. Then he looked at Halen, most likely he was the one that was taunting them from the shadows about how vulnerable they are. But all that didn't mean anything anymore. They would have to find that cursed crystal or everything will fall apart and the world will perish under evil's grasp. Then he turned his view towards Kynna, aparently the so-called daughter of light was the one that was supposed to lead them to the mountain of Valron where that crystal is but it didn't look like she had any idea what to do.

[color=f26522]"Well I don't know about the rest of you but personally i'm amazed to see that the gods still care about us. I mean, they were forbidden after the Purge and nobody worshipped them for a hundred years. Needless to say that they are nearly forgotten these days. If I were a god i'd be pretty pissed about all that."[/color]
