Guys, we have our reply!
So an old friend came to visit me today, and after she left I heard this knocking. I thought she’s left something in my flat, but when I turned I saw it was my shadow knocking on the wall. Yes, my shadow?! As soon as she had my attention she started writing on the wall. Had to scramble quickly on my (very messy) desk for a pen and paper, and then found the words were mirrored. Normally good with mirror writing but had to grab a my makeup bag at one point cause she was going too fast and I didn’t want to loose the message.
Here in our sanctuary, we protect all who search for magiq, including a handful of searchers who are sensitive to magimystic currents. It may seem like a distinction not worth making, but from what they can tell, you are not barred from the magimystical world, the world is barred from you .
But you grow in ranks every day. How is that possible? We believe an entity is determining who is and isn’t allowed to find you, but we don’t know what it is, why it’s standing between you and the world, or how it makes its determination. To stay protected, we don’t often reach out to others, allowing instead, for those of pure intent and purpose to find us. But when we have reached out to certain entities in recent days, we were able to make contact. It seems the veil obscures you alone. And from what we can tell, it took an immense amount of magimystic energy to draw the leaden veil over you. Have you tried to interact with someone blinded from you in person? We will keep looking for what is causing this while you continue to find the edges of the veil.
I was once like you, climbing unseen mountains in the search for truth. And in my searching, I found a place we call sanctuary, and among the people here, the herald. The sanctuary’s purpose is to protect those who search for magiq, and the herald’s mission is to help bring about the new age. She wants to create a brighter age than the last.
We don’t know about previous heralds. She was born knowing she was different. That the title of herald had been granted to her by some unknown force, she felt called to a purpose no one could understand, and many, including her own family, rejected her for it. But that was a long time ago. She is old now, but wise and still driven.
I can only speak for myself, but there are times when you have to leave an old life behind to find your purpose, even abandoning those you love. Many here in the sanctuary have done the same. I was searching for so long for a place where I belonged. And then I found the sanctuary. There is no leader to blindly follow here. No cultish doctrine to obey or arbitrary rules to abide. Only the mandate to help those who search for magiq and to protect them as long as they are on their search. The herald found her way here like the rest of us, and when she could still look into the dark of the dawning age, she saw the potential of the new era. And the war that will someday be waged over it.
An aliquary is a powerful object and may prove useful down the line, but unfortunately, it isn’t powerful enough to bring magic back to our world. Please be careful who you tell about the aliquary. Like all powerful objects, they are much sought after.
And be mindful of the magiq you use. Even the couriers are behaving erratically. It took us days to deliver this response. It seems we are beginning the end of the old age.
Think I got it all, but after I finished writing the last part it was gone, so I can’t really check.
