WEEK 4


[It is late in the afternoon when the Titled finally wake up from their long, vivid sleep. What day is it? Maybe it doesn't matter.

They weren't awake when it happened, but the final set of doors have opened. The Intercessor hasn't emerged from their room. There is no sign of the grumpy old man. And, the Titled may notice that nothing has been cleaned up - including the remains of those who prompted the Investigation - since they went into the Debate Hall. No new food has been supplied in the Kitchen, either.

The only replenishing food supply is in the Conservatex - who knows when those'll get ripped out from the ground out of spite, though. Their captors certainly showed themselves to not be above petty revenge, unfortunately.

So many questions now swirl. Is the old man hiding? Is the Intercessor ok? What the hell happened with the dragon? What about that other group which the Titled have come to realize exist? What did their captors have planned? And...really, what the hell else is going to happen now?

Whatever it is, it's not going to be good.

So get ready, Titled.

There are nine (but perhaps only eight?...) strangers in this place.]

Yeah, well...my dad didn't give a crap, my brothers all counted on me, and Helmer...he had his own problems to deal with. chaos always tries to be there for me, but...I get the feeling he has his own worries, too.

[ Maglor hums softly ]

You would have liked Maedhros. [ He murmurs ] Both of you saddled with too much responsibility. I will be here as long as I can be, Junior. But... you can do this. You don't need me, you know. Not me specifically, that is - there are many here who would help you.

[carries_war]

I know, but each of us has something different we can do. We need your experience.

[bythewaves]

And you will have it, as long as I can give it. [ Maglor says gently ]

But promise me, Junior. You need to live. You and Killua and the others. I must not be put above them.
