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.

Don't all politics?

Anyway, the part about Matthias - do you want to hear a secret?

[blackscales]

Speak your mind.

I hate not knowing things.

[blackscales]

I'm afraid that isn't a secret. However, it is a trait we share.

[ Rude and brave of him to say something so true. ]

What I mean is that I feel like my main motivation for anything that's related to Matthias or to Anui is mostly that. I don't like that they're shrouded in mystery, I don't like a mystery I can't solve.

[blackscales]

Then I think we should solve this mystery, don't you?

[reparo]

I think you're right.
