Falling Star and Those Below

Writer's picture: Michael GuevaraMichael Guevara

He makes his way through throngs of people.  Aspirants, prophets, acolytes, laymen, all here for the same reason.  The religious Revival going on in White Sands is certainly an event that he did not expect.  His plain dark clothes hide his identity as he passes by booths of the various religions of the wastes.  He makes some effort in hiding his look of disgust leveled at figures adorned with images of circles filled with stalactites pointed inward like teeth.  Poor misguided fools.  But then again, most of the surface folk are of the ignorant sort., the ancient knowledge and prophecies are wasted on them.  He leaves the throngs of White Sands, heading for the calm dark of Undertow.  


He passes the docks, the shops, and dwellings heading for the deeper and lesser known places.  He slips through a hidden door and into a room bathed in candlelight.  The room is pentagram shaped, with four corridors leading to dwellings leading off from the center of the room.  On the walls there are tattered tapestries of the old wisdoms and warnings from long forgotten days, and prophecies from the present day that few have heard and even less have listened.  In the center of the room is a table on which a map is placed, over which two other dark robed figures seem to be having a heated debate.  He raises a hand and the bickering stops immediately.


“We are being hunted.”  Snarls Sister, her temper clearly lost.  “If we do not strike them down now all our efforts could be for nothing.”


“Calm yourself.”  His voice is stern and commanding.  “Did they detect your work?”


“They discovered me, but my work went unnoticed.”  


“Good.  The Falling Star has caused a disruption in the order of events, but we are flexible.”  He walks to the table and picks up a small carved piece and places it purposefully on the map. “They will soon have too much to deal with to interfere with us.  Brother will continue to keep their focus here, you may take whatever action you need to ensure your pillar falls while they are distracted.”  


“Yes Father.”  Say Brother and Sister in unison.
