I spoke with our old friend the Huntress earlier. She confirmed a few suspicions. Her and her husband the Beastmaster were granted their powers by the White Wanderer. From him, she says, he used no artefact. She took it willingly, she says, but he didn't explain the full consequence. She was offered a shield, a way to defend herself. He asked for nothing in return, only to spread his message. She couldn't say exactly what that meant, that he was here. That his creatures are. She believed his daughter was important in some way, to this.

She believes they have all been used. That it all began with Matthias, and must end with him. She wants him dead, I am certain.

Incidentally, it seems it isn't her choice to ride unclothed. She says clothes burn when they touch her. A somewhat crass touch, I think.

I will be around the auction if anyone desires to find me.

True. Feels like it has to be important if it's etched on to the ring like it is. But I'm also not interested in the beacon at all so... guess I've been focused more on what's happening in this world.

Figure most of this group want to try to get back, and who knows if there's a beacon that way.

Yeah.

( She doesn't want to know what happens when she goes back when the last thing she remembers is Hades pulling her back into the Underworld. )

What about you? You got someone or something waiting at home for you?

They did get much better for the most part. I think this place just has some shitty timing or amazing timing. I also get we don't exactly belong here so whatever happens will happen. I'll go back if I have to.

( She'll go back and face Hades if she has to, but she's not excited to do so - she knows he's likely to destroy her for leaving. )

Then you've got to get back to your people. I wouldn't expect you to want to go to some place that has no beacon and just some supposed ties to the Huntress.

We don't belong here.

I'm not gonna hop on the nearest beacon, but if we're somehow damaging this world by being here, it's not really right for me to stay either.


( And it's hard to say what their presence here in the long term might do. Red knows enough about worlds, about realms, about fate to understand that. )

Then that one is important to return to.

Who are they?

Then it's even more important you get back to them.

The first person who ever called me a friend were well, people in our group here. Obviously I went on to make actual friends back in my own world too, but it complicates things.

I would really regret being parted from you too. Wish we could remember this place when we go, but we sure as fuck do not. Not any of it like it's carved right out of us, like it never happened at all.

Yeah, haven't heard of anyone that's had that particular pleasurable experience.

How long were you gone for?
