Many of you have wondered where I have been, now that the ashes of the four have been collected. A final pocket of resistance was encountered by myself and those who follow me. Their evil taint had been sent out as an advance scout to infiltrate Kaya and knowing that none of these monsters could be left behind, I sought them out and we destroyed them all before yet another portal could be opened.
Yet, that was not enough! For the last one of them I tortured in a mindless rage over the death of my brothers in arms and the taint they tried to inflict on my beloved Nagnang. He talked this one did! *grins menacingly* And it was good he did talk.
For some of the ashes were on these cretins, and without the recovery of these nothing we did would have worked to bring The Four back. He also made muttered something about the curse of some Dongbas upon them. These are the Naxi Shamanistic Priests who knew of them and how their taint might be wiped out. I believe The Historian, Qantao, has some knowledge ofthese foreign priests.
Therefore, as I ripped the last of the information from the body and mind of this last abomination, I was able to get an idea of where to look for this man.
After many months of searching and sneaking through enemy territory,I came upon this legendary shaman, he who had a hand in writing the"Ha zhi p'i." His name I cannot reveal, for he placed upon me a price for this knowledge, and one I have willingly paid for the sake of my fallen brethren. Rebirth is possible. And while he said there were things we must do according to our own Holy Ones due to our lands and beliefs, he gave to me the secret ingredient necessary to perfect the rebirth and salvation of The Four.
I am on my way back to you, and I should be there in a few days at the most. I request a meeting be set up between myself, Izabella, StriGoi our Holy One and the Historian, so that we may discuss the ritual needed and plan for The Four's revival. For those of you brave enough to bear the mark and the retrieval of the ashes, this will be a final compliment to your bravery. It will take many, even those who tried their best but did not receive the mark in time, to be at this ceremony. For the other thing stated by the Shaman Dongbas was that the people of the land are the other ingredient necessary to give rebirth to my fine comrades. Please return this messenger hawk with your reply as to a date a time of meeting, so that we may finish what we've begun.
Love Live Our Beloved Nagnang!
Forever may she thrive!
