"I can think of no reason, honestly. She is a good friend of mine, and given the chance I think she would gladly have healed me. Adminius may have tried to stop her, but I do not think he would be able to."

[sunter]

"Neither can I. From the stories I've heard, the chosen, you five, are- were- very close." He shook his head. "In all honesty, I couldn't tell you why they didn't heal you or why your friends let you go, but it seems it was the proper decision seeing as you're strength has returned."

[Nobody]

Alaric looked down at his hands, confused. Mezit began to burn on the back of his neck. "You are right, in that my strength is returning. And as curious as that is, it makes me much harder to deceive, my friend." He looked up at Alexander. "Why are you lying to me?"

[sunter]

A smile crawled across his face. "Now that is impressive. I wouldn't push yourself however. You're still unstable." He said, avoiding the matter at hand.

[Nobody]

Alaric's mood began to darken. "Oh, believe me. I know how unstable I am right now. I suggest you answer my question now, before I show you why I am the first knight of Libertatem."

[sunter]

"You are unarmed and have no armor. On top of that, it would be dangerous to yourself and others to use any of your magic with that mark still on your back. I am under strict orders not to divulge any information to you." He took his hand off the pommel of his sword. "If you seek answers, I suggest talking to the seer. She is under no such oath."

[Nobody]

Alaric fought the rise of panic and self-loathing that began to burn through him. "She is dead, Alexander. She has been dead for some time. I killed her."

[sunter]

He was clearly unfazed by Alaric's response. "Yes, the lady Corinthia has been given a proper burial. Alaric, this was not unforeseen. She...." He paused. "It may be best for you to see her for yourself."

[Nobody]

"What do you mean?" His hands started to tremble.

[sunter]

"Antevorta's chosen has taken it upon herself to become the new seer."

[Nobody]

"Charlotte is the new seer?" Alaric thought on it for a moment. It made sense. There were few with the potential to be a seer, and Charlotte was the only one available, save an arduous journey. And she had been selected by the Goddess Antevorta. "Please, take me to her."

[sunter]

Alexander nodded. "Come along then. I trust you are familiar with the way there." Alexander left, followed by Alaric. The two, knowing the city well, made it to the statue quickly. Alexander halted at the entrance, turning back to Alaric. "This is as far as I go. She'll be expecting you."

[Nobody]

He nodded at her and looked at the ancient door set into the statues base. He hadn't been down there since he woke up. "I appreciate it." Alaric opened the door and stepped into the room, down the set of stairs that seemed to extend forever.

[sunter]

The room had changed since she had last been down there. The lights had dimmed and there was no life in the chamber. Charlotte waited patiently for Alaric. She could see him, but Alexander was nearby, and he had done as he promised. She faced Alaric, her mask emitting a dim glow as he entered the chamber. "Hello Alaric. Good to see you're alright."

[Nobody]

He smiled at her. "And you, Charlotte! It feels like it has been years." His smile faded as he looked around the room. "What has happened, here? Did I do this?"
