BEJEWELED〔M〕〔IC〕「Hoef & GodlyD&D」

[GodlyD&D]

Ildapan went with Idmah, while he considered what would be involved with this monstergiant, Yhorman. Was this to be it, what he was on the island, with those who came to help him, to guard against? Surely there were other things. Those of Nynmark and those of Erhohen remained a potential threat, perhaps there were other nations with forces that could draw near. If these were what would be ahead surely an enemy behind them was at work. But such threats as Slamp were from beyond, and if that one, there could be another. Only hope remained with still calling on Hylax. But then what of this one, Yhorman, what had this one waited for, until this time?

They entered the great chamber shortly, with lit candles, or torches, or things inbetween those, along the surrounding wall, giving light in there. Ildapan then heard the one speaking there, with the echo bouncing from the wall, and listened carefully with awareness, as Idmah remained right by him.

[Dire Hoef]

Idmah, through gentle guidance, brought the man up to a pool that was filled with clear waters. In it, swam energy that blessed any who stepped into its depths. She said, with her eyes locked to the still surface, "You, Warden of the Isle, must step into this pool. Take that which the Divine Gem had gifted to you, one who had been chosen." She looked up, locking eyes with Ildapan. Her expression read one of reverence and dedication. She knew, now, who this man was. She saw him far too often in her dreams late into the deep nights for her to forget.

She stepped back, releasing herself from his side. She did just as the Divine Gem had instructed her, but something in her moved her to say, "Those waters will connect you with the Power you pray to, be ready."

She gestured forth, encouraging him, politely, to embark upon his journey. Not one in body, but one in spirit.

Ildapan nodded, and then removed the coat over him, and stepped then into the water of this very clear yet deep pool were steps were set on that one end of this oblong shape. He went in deep, as his feet did not reach the bottom past the steps until only his head remained above the surface. Indeed it was hard to remain in a standing position as the buoyancy of his body gave a pull to it, and he just managed. In his mind he called on Hylax who would know his mind.

Then Ildapan heard the voice again, discerning words being spoken this time.

"Ildapan, you are answered when you call for help when most needed because of your full trust in the most high, the same as a couple of your comrades on this island. Because of this, you having come saved the people of this island from sure disasters, and they will be saved by more. Your further help in work against coming disaster will be with the glorious superbeaver being found."
