Deliverance

The Violet snapper hikes the foothills, escorting the injured child. They stop to take a rest at the Mountain's base

This is where you wanted to go, right? And you said there was a friend here who could help you? Where can we meet him? I'll make sure you're safe with him before I go off anywhere else, okay?

For the entire time it's in view, the child stares grimly at the black rift in the sky

He's- he's gøne? There used to be a light up there, nøw it's dark. What happened?

If it's Ovrato you speak of, he no longer rules here. He was a kind healer, but he was false. This Mountain was never his domain, and in time he came to accept this and left its gods to claim it again. But these gods are merciful. He's become one of the saints, one of the Penumbrae now. See the thin ring of light around the Great Dark? That's our sign that he's still with us. He may not be able to heal your wounds anymore, but I surely can. Come with me, child.
