Muirfinn's diary (Moore)

[Anastasia]

Okay, to the loot thread. We'll sort that out there.

[Anastasia]

What's next, Moore?

[Nephrite]

Moore's going to go find 27.

[Anastasia]

You find 27 atop Aurora. Hanna's sitting there, 27 resting in her lap and whimpering. Hanna's eyes are stuck rolled up, but she's gently patting him. She takes a single glance at Moore and says, "Not a word about this."

[Nephrite]

"Of course." Moore agrees. "I take it you two have come to terms, then. Sorry to disturb, I'm looking for some information I think he might be able to help me with."

[Anastasia]

Hanna sighs, long and loud, "I couldn't help but accept it when he apologized so earnestly. Anyway, go on."

[Nephrite]

"Are the words I'm looking for something that will come from me, or can I find them somewhere else?" He looks at 27.

[Anastasia]

27 gives you an unrelenting look, staring at you silently.

Just as you're about to give up with that, he says, "The end is only Afina's beginning. Tannin's blade is already wet with the blood of one member of Aurora. To send him to where he belongs, he must be accepted by one of them."

[Nephrite]

Moore folds his arms in thought. "I should've known it would be a puzzle like this... Wait, but one of who? Someone who was betrayed? Sorry, I think you lost me..."

[Anastasia]

"The maestro is waiting for Ithea. 21 is the key to everything. 21 can destroy the Child of Lifasa, Abigor and even Bel. 21 is a battle for a soul." 27 gaze burns into you as the slaad continues, "I warned you not to come back. If you do not know me, you will be made to know me."

[Nephrite]

Moore continues to look confused, but then perks up a little bit and looks a bit mortified for a brief moment. "I..." He takes a breath. He shakes his head. "That's a matter for another time, after this is all said and done. 27, are the words that I need in 21?"

[Anastasia]

27 rests against Hanna and continues on. "What is worse than an abandoned child? I beg of you to take this." 27 coughs and hacks, spitting up a small stone. It's smooth and circular, polished. It's a dark green color. "Taelfagn moves to stop the Queen."

[Nephrite]

Moore lets out a long sigh, then he flies down to pick up the stone. "The harder the question I ask of you, the harder it is for you to answer, isn't it..." He flies down to pat 27 on the head. "I'm sorry. I'll find the answers. You know how to find me if you need to impart anything else."

[Anastasia]

Mark the stone with a loot post.

27 goes silent as Hanna shakes her head, "The one about 21's a repeat," she says, "He said it back when the Child of Lifasa and Abigor were alive."

[Nephrite]

"Who's the Child of Lifasa?" Moore asks.
