Irvyn: Oracle, do you still speak?
Stewan Seagull: Hello Oracle. Are yer well?
Forest Oracle: The wind whispers in the leafs.
Stewan Seagull: Well, Ill take that as a aye...
Stewan Seagull: Why are yer in bloom?
Forest Oracle: The roots reach out to fresh waters. Irvyn: Does fresh water mean the water is cleansed here?
Stewan Seagull: Have the shadows passed?
Forest Oracle: The shadows rest beneath the trees that cast them.
Stewan Seagull: Is it, that made the leafs go black, gone?
Forest Oracle: The black leaf has fallen and the waters cleanse those that remain.
Stewan Seagull: What bout th seeker?
Forest Oracle: The black leaf has fallen.
Stewan Seagull: But what of what made the one leaf black?
Forest Oracle: No leaf turns black but the ones that are foul within.
Stewan Seagull: I take it the waters are clear again,
Stewan Seagull: and whoever caused it is gone, the "blackened leaf"
Iljian: Ith what turned the water ... alive ... gone? Forest Oracle: The waters flow with new life and the soil is fertile.
Stewan Seagull: why did the rocks here turn black?
Forest Oracle: The touch of life has come and passed.
Stewan Seagull: So nothin here means us any more harm... none of th plants, that is?
Forest Oracle: No root or stem means to break another but in the struggle for the light. Edmund: I am curious about one thing it said.
Edmund: 'No leaves turns black but the ones that are foul within.'
Edmund: Does this mean we have had our part to play in this?
Edmund: I am considering whether it might have something do with us, that is our morality. Forest Oracle: Many leafs are rotten within, yet not all turn black. But all that turn black are rotten.
Stewan Seagull: The black leaf has fallen.
Stewan Seagull: I think thats the one thing it said thats definite
Iljian: Um.... did the theeker call the touch of life? Forest Oracle: The seeker that found lay the seeds that brought new life Iljian: Doeth the touch of life remain with uth? Forest Oracle: The seed has been planted and new life has grown until it withers and dies. Irvyn: What seed? Where did it come from?
Stewan Seagull: So the tree-woman is the new life?
Iljian: I think tho, aye
Stewan Seagull: hmm...
Iljian: The man you thaid you heard in the crythtal
Stewan Seagull: *nods*
Iljian: Forgot the name...
Stewan Seagull: he must be the seeker then
Iljian: Aye. And he brought the tree-woman here
Stewan Seagull: Why did the black leaf fall?
Forest Oracle: New life requires fertile ground to sprout in.
Stewan Seagull: urrgh...
Iljian: *winces* Doeth it mean... a thacrifice?
Stewan Seagull: no...wait... that cant be... they talked to each other.
Stewan Seagull: unless... hmm...
Stewan Seagull: were the new life and the black leaf th same for a while?
Forest Oracle: No life remains in a rotten leaf.
Stewan Seagull: But the black leaf brought the new life?
Forest Oracle: New life may sprout from what is rotten.
Stewan Seagull: Are the black leaf and the seeker the same?
Forest Oracle: The seeker that found is the leaf that fell. Irvyn: How did the black leaf fall? Forest Oracle: What is rotten cannot live but must fall. Irvyn: Was there something specific which caused it to fall at this time? Forest Oracle: New life needs ground in which to sprout. Irvyn: Was there only one black leaf? Forest Oracle: Always there are leafs that are rotten and always some that fall. Irvyn: The black leaf that has now fallen - was it working alone or with others? Forest Oracle: Many seek, yet only one found and the rot that formed remained within the leaf.
Stewan Seagull: so do we assume the black leaf was destroyed in making the new life?
Stewan Seagull: and the new life then died later?
Gwen Irima: almost sounds like someone who was good, someone we know
Gwen Irima: has turned against us Irvyn: It could be so ... but who?
Stewan Seagull: Could be it was Antar
Gwen Irima: Is there someone who has really changed a lot ? Irvyn: If you are right in that interpretation, the person concerned is now .... dead? Gwen Irima: or undead, "turned"
Stewan Seagull: he disappeared for a while
Stewan Seagull: and I only saw him once again enterin that cave
Stewan Seagull: his mightve bin the familiar male voice
Robert Falcon: Are the black leafs the shadow lords? Forest Oracle: *shivers slightly in the breeze* Irvyn: Is there any way we can ask it whether the black leaf person was connected to the temples?
Stewan Seagull: It knows of em, it led us there
Iljian: The templeth are for the new life?
Stewan Seagull: *nods* Its where it sent us to look for th seeker
Robert Falcon: Wonder if this new life is evil or good?
Stewan Seagull: its ...bad *shrugs*
Irvyn: Judging by the vines which attacked Iljian and Stewan, I would agree with that.
Irvyn: *nods to Stewan*
Irvyn: But the rivers in Trinsic are clean again, or so it seems. Iljian: Well, we walked into where we weren't meant to be. Robert Falcon: Wonder if this new life has anything to do with the church showing back up in Cove? Iljian: If we remove thomeone from the jail we aren't bad either, are we?
Edmund: Ah, the polluted waters are linked to the leafs?
Irvyn: We think so, Edmund.
Stewan Seagull: Aye, Sir Edmund
Edmund: That makes sense.
Stewan Seagull: It wasnt really a pollution as such
Stewan Seagull: more like to much plant life
Edmund: *looks at Stewan*
Edmund: Yes, the fungus.
Stewan Seagull: *nods*
Stewan Seagull: some of it harmfull, aye,
Stewan Seagull: but so is th common potatoe
Robert Falcon: So all this has to do with Trinsic? Irvyn: It has shown itself in Trinsic, Robert ... that does not mean it is only here. Robert Falcon: *nods*
Stewan Seagull: What did the seeker seek?
Forest Oracle: The seeker that found looked for the knowledge of the life.
Stewan Seagull: For what purpose?
Forest Oracle: The leaf craved for the life as it did for the light.
Stewan Seagull: He sought to break the circle?
Forest Oracle: *shivers slightly in the breeze*
Stewan Seagull: did the seeker try to take more life then was his?
Forest Oracle: That what is sought is not always what is found.
