9 Misuthar 835

You arrive late at night at the abbey, where you present the body of Therearys to Nathaniel, who invites you to join a resurrection ritual.

“Therearys, you are standing in a white void. Time seems to stand still, you have no idea how long you have been here. Every minute somehow takes both a year and not happen at all. You’re both getting bored but also no time has passed at all. Out of the mist you see shades appearing.

• Ghost of Urgon Wenth, your friend who you weren’t there for on his deathbed
• Ghost of Toofer, who you failed to save.
• Ghost of Pollock Jackson, who you allowed to be murdered in cold blood
• Ghost of Tulgi, who you didn’t give the antidote to

“Ghosts of your past. The manifestations of your regrets. Your doubts if you’re even worth having a second chance. Then, in an incalculable distance you hear the voices of Nathaniel, Amadi and Seivarden. You hear them chant and pray for your soul to return to your body. You look behind you, and there you see Amadi and Seivarden.”

Fighting manifestations of his regrets with the souls of Amadi and Seivarden by his side, Therearys’ soul manages to find its way to its body, and Therearys wakes up, alive again. But not before he has another vision of Uk’otoa speaking single words to him:

“You are floating a pitch black water, but this time you remember you can breath under water and don’t panic. An eye opens before you, as big as a planet but also as big as the one in the sword. A thundering voice shakes your body and soul: ‘Unfinished. Revenge. Sword. Trust. Reward’.”
