Introduction

Keep this secret… and I shall answer.

Chayula_A_02

You… may call me ally… for now.

Chayula_A_03

To exist… to continue.

Chayula_A_04

We are the same… we are opposites.

Chayula_A_05

None are safe… while the enemy rampages.

Chayula_A_06

… Xesht.

Chayula_A_07

Unity of flesh… with no care as to how… or {where}… it is found.

Chayula_A_08

For now… we fight… the rest will become clear… in time.

Chayula_B_02

The Keepers know me… as the Benevolent Dreamer. The enemy knows me… as the One Who Dreamt. You… may call me ally… for now.

Chayula_B_03

The willow bends with the storm… but too strong a gale… and it may snap.

Chayula_B_04

Shattered hopes drift across the void… what is broken can never be repaired.

Chayula_B_05

Two fates intertwine… not the unity desired, but the only unity at hand… the enemy is nigh.

Chayula_B_06

The Hand closed at long last, bringing five into one… a flaw glimmered in a perfect crystal… the Dream ruptured, and the Dreamer was torn asunder… four became one, jagged and imbalanced… Xesht.

Chayula_B_07

Endless rage and hunger… seeks only unity of flesh… with no care… how or where it is found.

Chayula_B_08

Each day dawns red from the smoke of war. Two paths flank the same river… for now.

What do you want?

To exist… to preserve my essence… to endure what looms.

How do they know you?

Broken bonds now ache like severed limbs.

Why should I trust you?

We share the same fate… the enemy grows near.

Who is our enemy?

Xoph… Esh… Tul… Uul-Netol… our melding… failed… I was torn asunder. Cast into the void between worlds. They… became Xesht.

What does Xesht want?

Xesht is imbalanced… four minds sewn together, vying for dominance… filled with endless rage and hunger they do not understand. Seeking only unity of flesh… with no care… how or where it is found.

What now?

Fight. Ailith will aid you. She must continue her duties here… unburdened by the pain of truth. I must… regenerate. Keep our enemy at bay… and the path we share… shall {remain} clear.
