It's
deja vu all over again... Hawkmoon - 11 Oct 2005 Something
decidedly Odd was going on.
Sure,
SoulFlayer had sent along some new recruits from the Realms Beyond guild to give
Jill, Sanskirt and Ember a chance to rest and decompress. Arty had felt only slightly
resentful that he had to stick around and show the newbies the ropes. But
it was strange that Tydus, acting like he had never seen any of them before, had
given the team a message from the King for Ambassador Zain. In fact, Arty was
pretty sure that it was the same message that he had delivered last week with
his other comrades. Nor
was that the only strange happening. For instance, Necromancer Munne seemed to
have lost the Holy Relic again. Arty dutifully joined in on retrieving it, but
inside his mind was whirling. Time and again, people he had spoken to before,
and even performed tasks for, treated them all like complete strangers. Was
it all part of some vast Conspiracy? For what purpose? Who was behind it? Arty
resolved to keep his mouth shut and his eyes open. |
