Chronicle of Heroes ~ The Seer's Dilemma

[The Midgard Times]

The search for Vynn intensified yesterday as the Dark Allegiance joined the search, following pressure by the public for being the very last ones to have seen The Seer.

The Light Allegiance had begun their search since the release of our report on the young man's disappearance, but after learning of Dark's involvement in the search, however, they focused all their energy into the search. After scouring all the cities of the Schwartzvald Republic for clues on The Seer's whereabouts, they finally reached him, at a cliff overlooking the sea, far east of Kiel's Academy.

Vynn was safe and sound, and had allegedly left on his own, but seemed uneasy. He claimed to need peace, quiet and lots of meditation and he would return to his normal life. After very persistent inquiring on his sudden disappearance, The Seer expressed worries over a vision he had, but refused to specify what it was or who he saw it for.

Not long after finding Vynn, Melot showed up, much to Thea's surprise, as the Dark Allegiance had just begun their search and had no way of knowing their location. Melot demanded Vynn release a public statement to confirm the Dark Allegiance played no part in his disappearance, and asked him not to be manipulated by the Light Allegiance, who disapproved of him using his abilities. As usual, an argument broke out between Thea and Melot. Everyone else quickly joined in, and the shouting soon turned into a "street" fight. The Seer, unfortunately, chose to teleport away.

Having been seen as clearly safe and sound by over two dozen people, the official search for The Seer by the Hugel authorities have come to an end. But what is the next course of action of the Light and Dark Allegiances? What did Vynn see that traumatized him enough to run away to recover his focus and concentration?

The VIP section of the Dark Allegiance infirmary was empty. "Damned slow nurse..." Melot spoke under his breath, just as the nurse arrived.

"Stop your whinin'. You're not the only one Thea was flinging fire bolts at." The nurse snarked back. "With this cream, your arm will be as good as new in no time!"

Melot looked as if he'd seen a ghost.

"How does it look?" Thea asked her doctor, extending her left arm.

The doctor did not look impressed. "The blade didn't do much." She motioned at the nurse to proceed to bandage Thea's arm. "Keep the bandages on for now, but really, it's nothing to worry about."

The doctor and nurse left the room, and Councilwoman Maristella walked in. "I take it everything is fine?"

"Physically, yes. I'm still worried there's a double agent among us, though." Thea shook her head in disappointment, before looking back at her bandaged left arm, then at her colleague, who wore her usual reddish/gold clothes that matched her ginger hair. Her expression changed. Sudden realization.

"We would have been in trouble if you didn't jump into the fray." Maristella replied, trying to comfort her. Thea took several deep breaths, trying to hide her look of sheer terror. "Well... They still kicked our asses, but it could have been worse, just don't be too hard on yourself."

Thea stood up abruptly, now near hyperventilating. "We need to find that seer."
