Secrets
Transcript of a conversation with an unknown individual after infiltrating the Order of the ████████ Eyes
So, you really want to know? Like, really? You realize there’s no going back after that, right? Once you stick your nose into something like that, you can’t get out so quickly. I mean, knowledge is power, right? And power is dangerous. Ergo, knowledge is too.
I wonder how the youngsters of today even come up with such questions. In my time, we were satisfied with less. We were happy if we had a farm, a garden and maybe a family. We didn’t care about any secrets and mythical places where who knows what happens.
I guess you already know about some stuff, don’t you?
I see it in your eyes. You know about the rituals of the brotherhood. You know about those which bound the Last One and those which killed him. Oh, okay, you didn’t know that last part. Oops. Well, okay, I’ll just admit it, that was us too. Our greatest achievement, I might add. But we accomplished so much more.
We have thrown an entire country into chaos. We hunted down the last Kraken and took possession of its immortal soul and built ourselves a submarine out of its skin. We built our automatrons before you simple-minded humans even discovered fire. We slew the Cyclops and erased an entire race from this continent. We carried the sun on our backs and burned those who did not look up to us.
For my part, I was always happy with my farm, my house and my family. Until you came and took it all away from me. Those who sow misery will reap war.
Oh, by the way, we know you’re a spy. And also that they have wiretapped you. I could smell it very clearly. Back when you introduced yourself to me.
No, don’t even try to get up. Let’s first remove the communication spell and then we’ll see. Don’t worry, if you cooperate, we’ll find a place for you with us. And no, you don’t have a choice.
