"We keep it secret for a reason. Same reason for which we have three small continents instead of just one and why Pleiades are islands and not mountain chains anymore. Here, the recording is ready." Abbess pushed three more buttons.

Suddenly, beam of blue light shot from the Orb of Recording, and the light began to pool in one spot, forming into a form, then silhouette, then a being. The intensity of the light made the whole room seem blue.

"Denizens of planet Mu Arae b. I am the being you know as Demura, one of the Old Gods, and your friend. Heed this recorded message! This is my warning for you, which will most definitely be exposed to you under only one condition - that return of my colleagues, the 'Old Gods' you believed in, is imminent. They are not here to be worshipped again, though, but to try, for the second time, to fulfill the initial plans we had for your world."

"This Orb of Recording contains coding that can open my sleeping chamber in my hidden resting place. This message is too short to explain everything to you. I do not know if you have managed to master the skies and depths of the sea or maybe you're still using wind-propelled sails, but I implore you - reach the easternmost island of the archipelago you call Greater Pleiades, and then sail straight east, till you reach a long, thin island flanked by two tiny, rocky islands. On that long island, you will find a building, possibly ruined by now, and in its vast underground corridors, you shall find my resting place. Bring this Orb of Recording, set it into the hole on top of large, white box-shaped device. It will allow me to appear before you, and then I will have both time, and abilities, to explain everything. Good luck."

The being dissappeared into the thin air, the light subsided and return to the Orb. Abbess gently took it from the plate and handed it to Ethan.

"You allright, child?"

"I... I'm not sure."

"I felt the same when I first saw this." Abbess shook her head and pushed some buttons on the contraption box. The walls suddenly slid upon it and hid it behind layers of rock. The sounds of the machine couldn't be heard anymore.

17072
"What?"

"Oh, he just acts like that." Ethan waved at Alister. "The speech manner, and everything." The abbess sighed.

"Right. Back to explaining things." She looked at the orb and then back at Ethan.

"We're keepers of ancient technology, technology of the 'Old Gods', but these are beings from other world, not gods. They have brought us marvels that we thought were magical, but were very sophisticated contraptions. The Old Gods were members of some dying race, or some such, who fled here and found us and gifted us with these marvels. When the Old Gods decided to punish our world for whatever reason, and then left us, everyone began to destroy what these aliens left behind."

"But some people, wise people, thought that one day we might master this technology ourselves, or that we might need it. So, under guidance of Demura, the only alien that stayed with us, we kept this technology, this knowledge, hidden and safe from those who would like to destroy it. The Holy City, Tower of Xos, few strange cults in Dseleudis... there are quite a few of us, waiting in shadows." The Abbess raised the orb a little.

"What you have here is Orb of Recording. A device that can store various things on it; pictures, speeches, sounds, and so on. What makes it special is the security measures used in the orb, restricted for use of only one being."

"Uh... in our language?"

"This orb contains a locked message from Demura himself. The device here, which Old Gods call 'computer' was able to break the lock and show the message to me... and I can, and will, show it to you."

"Wait, so, this isn't a jewel or anything? It's worthless?"

"...it's priceless, to right person."

"...so, the message? Old Gods were real? Demura is going to speak to us? I mean, woah, I-"

"See? If I will now allow you to keep asking questions, we will spend years here. I will just show you the message. It will take a moment." She placed the orb on small plate at above the glass panel and began pushing the buttons with confidence and speed of someone who has been pushing them everyday for long, long time now.

"Yeah, my subordinates are right! Why you don't just tell us?"

"I could, but it would take much more time than he does."

"Wait, 'he'?" Abbess took Ethan and his crew down a set of spiraling stairs and then they all entered a room full of papers. They were filled with ancient scrolls and tomes. She paid attention to none of these, and simply took the group across the room to a nook. There was a wall.

The abbess placed her hand on the wall and pushed part of it.

There was a loud click.

Suddenly, the wall began to slide away and exposing a big metal box of smooth surface and bleached cyan color.
There were bloops, beeps, clicking and constant humming coming out of it.
Numerous lights adorned the smooth surfaces, with a large glassy panel in the middle of it.
There were little knobs, domes, towers and rods sticking out of the strange machine, and few of the surfaces had numerous buttons and tiny levers.

It looked like something out of this world - and propably was.

"What. The. Heck." Abbess moved to the side of the machine and pulled out the orb from a box-like hidden nook of the contraption.

17075
"Are you sure about that?"

"Yes!" Ethan finally got back to his senses. "We, uh, liberated it from crazy old wizard. Where he got it, I have no idea! Are you going to say what's wrong?" The abbess thought it over, scratched her chin, looked at Ethan's crew, then at him, and then back at the floor.

"Clearly, I - we - will regret this day. Come, child, and your friends too. We're going to the underground sanctum of this building, Chamber of Ancient Wisdom. Amberly! You will come with us. After all, you're here to take over my place one day so there will be nothing wrong if you learn some things earlier than I did." The abbess walked away, and Ethan blinked.

"Well. You heard the nice old lady." He grumbled, not particularily amused, and ventured after her, trying to keep with the Abbess.

17076
The abbess was back and she looked as if she wanted to either murder someone or just witnessed a murder. Or even both at once. She pushed Alicia and Cetus aside on her way to Ethan.

"Child! Where did you find this orb?"

"Oh? I something wrong? I don't want to lose such precious-"

"Don't play games with me! Answer the f*cking question!" Ethan was baffled for a moment at the sudden change of Abbess' demeanor and couldn't process words.

17077

"Hopefully."

17079
The water was brought by an acolyte boy younger than Amberly. He didn't even say a word, just handed out bone cups of water out of his large tray, and scurried away.

"...Few minutes longer and I'm really gonna think that old woman wants to con us." Ethan grumbled, drinking his water.

Ethan listened to Cetus, and then followed inside the abbey.

"It's cool in here. Almost cold." He noted. The elderly woman approached.

"You can leave if you don't like it here, mister."

"Such sass. And I'm here to pay for things! Shouldn't you be more polite to a potential customer?"

"My abbey, my rules. What is it that you seek, little boy?"

"..." Ethan, feeling out-sassed for a moment, simply procured the orb from his jacket and passed it to the elderly woman.

"And this is?"

"I actually hoped you could tell me." The abbess looked at the orb, then looked at it while tilting her head downwards a little, and grumbled.

"I believe I can. Amberly! Take these people to the dining hall and tell the acolytes to give them some water. They must be thirsty. I will be going to the Chamber of Ancient Wisdom with this. Do not disturb me."

"Hey! How am I to believe you're not going to steal the thing or break it?"

"Hmph! Why would I?" And the woman sped away deeper into the building.

Ethan scratched his forehead.

17082
Ethan looked the young girl over.

"Hmm, that's quite an-" He bit his tongue.

"A pleasure to meet you. Are you one of the people from House of Scholars? I have some artifact that I have been told could be identified here. You people do it? What are the fees?"

17083
"Neeever!"

"Uuughh..."

The bandit leader collapsed, dead.

~~Chapter 2 Complete!~~

Meanwhile, inside...

"...and think next time before you sneak out, Amberly! What if those damned raiders were actually right outside the door? In the name of Undine and all others, you're the worst." The elderly, robed woman pushed a small stone on the wall and the barrier at the door wavered.

"And now you go and welcome these people and bring them here. You will be performing gatekeeping duties for the next month, Amberly."

//Amberly is back in game!

17084
and as it is we just have to hope that Ethan o\won't finish the boss. Pretty please?

Maybe someone should ask him to wait? Like, "Ethan, Aiesha is missing!"

Should make him pause :P

The fleet ventured to Skaggerak, after the admiral decided that 'Sound Toll' was just badly written name of Denmark's straits.

The orders were clear - retake Southern Sweden! The armies of the Hanse swiftly ventured into the region and utterly crushed the socialist force that was apparently not prepared for such swift and furious retaliation. The heaviest fighting were done in the Stockholm and its harbors, leading these to ruination.

Quote from: Combat #1 in South Sweden
Hanseatic Republik (+0) vs USSR (+3):
6 vs 2+3
USSR Army destroyed!
Port razed!

Then, construction and demolition orders came to engineers, who simply had not enough manpower to fulfill all orders in one month. Thusly, railroads in North Sweden were demolished and forts in North Finland deconstructed, while Copenhagen managed to furnish its Port.

With old Capital retaken, the government was able to move behind the still standing fortifications of South Sweden and reassure the survival of the Republic.
