Forever lies ahead

[Anastasia]

Jarem, Bastian, Dolmaya and Emily. All of you gather together for this, as the light of the full moon shines down brightly.

Emily stands at the window, hands on the windowsill as she leans out and peers up.

Jarem stands back, watching the view but not adding anything. He seems distracted, faraway.

Bastian paces back and forth, waiting.

Dolmaya sits nearby, her research done and now at the ready.

[Iron Dragoon]

"So, the blood holds a proxy spark for certain. The heart... Has something more. Not sure what, but... I can tell that feeding it some of the blood will cause something to happen. Dolmaya suggested we consult with Selune about it before trying anything."

[Anastasia]

"Sensible," Jarem murmurs.

"I thought so too," Dolmaya smiles just a little bit, "Far more sensible than trying it otherwise."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods, "Everyone ready? If we need to ask any other questions, now's the time to get them out."

[Anastasia]

"We're ready," Bastian says after no one else speaks up. "Selune's on our side."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods, Selune, if you have some time, I have some things to consult with you on.

[Anastasia]

The moonlight grows brighter now as from it the voice of the moon is heard.

It is the duty of the light of the moon to illuminate the safe way forward. The light that shines down from the moon shall reveal all.

[Iron Dragoon]

That seems like an unnecessarily convoluted and haughty response.

We have come into possession of the blood and heart of a defeated demon lord. I can tell that by supplying some blood to the heart, some sort of power will be enhanced, but I'm unsure what exactly it will be. I'm wondering if you have any sort of knowledge on this. I'm hoping it may result in divine power I may be able to take.

[Anastasia]

Yes. You must confront and purge the remnant with your will. Do so and the proxy spark will be yours to claim.

[Iron Dragoon]

Yes, we've figured out that the spark is based in the blood, but the heart has some... other power. It's different, and I can tell it will react to the blood, but not how.

[Anastasia]

It is a festering remnant of power of the slain demon lord. Put both together and a mockery of a demon lord will be reborn. Perhaps akin to a greatly diminished avatar.

[Iron Dragoon]

Okay, as far what I can get from such a thing, what can I reasonably expect? Like, if I do just the blood, it's a proxy spark, but what happens if they're together? Is there something I can roll to figure it out?

[Anastasia]

It's the sort of divine thing that's likely beyond a check, it's best to simply ask.

[Iron Dragoon]

Do you have any idea about what we could gain from defeating it?

[Anastasia]

Peace that one less horror menaces Creation.
