Svart should have known when they didn’t go get the witch in the woods or the mages that caused all the troubles, that they were not the real Inquisition. Svart was asked a lot of questions but they didn’t ask him about anything important. Talking about people he didn’t know and other stupid questions. Never paying any attention to anything important. Pretending to be the Church so they could be mean to people.
Working against Svart. Trying to attack Svart and his allies.
Allies like Cnut. Cnut is back. It is a good sign that the forces sent against him failed. Cnut is one of Svart’s oldest allies. Everybody else is dead or has disappeared. Captured and held prisoner by the witch in her cave. If only Svart could find the bandits base in his woods I could find out where she is, but just as I uncover where it is and am about to attack it, I go there and they have moved it. They always run except when they ambush Svart.
Svart told the people claiming to be the Inquisition all about the Witch, her bandits, and her plans to use the spirit creature the mages summoned. That they did nothing made suspicions grow that something was wrong. With the warnings that the Vindicta and others were planning an uprising to put them down just confirmed Svart’s conclusion that they were not the real Inquisition. They did nothing about witches or the mages or any of the real threats.
Svart is now a noble. Ragnar made him one. He claimed Svart was a Baron after Svart supplied all the food needed for the teams to leave Runehiem on missions this Forum.
The Color Wizard has added black to his ensemble. I will have to dwell on what this means. Lately, he seems to be trying to act human. He has addressed Svart and seems to be attempting to act in a friendly manner.
Not like Rhyme and Reasons who is turning cruel. She has been tormenting Svart. Then other times, seems almost regretful. Trick? Trap? The last vestiges of their human soul trying to break through the fire that is burning it away? Perhaps the process of being one soul in two bodies has affected the process of doom that Wolf Rick described happening to himself is affected.
Svart has uncovered that there is a way to steal their magic. They call it suppression. Java was able to do it one of its own kind. The fake Inquisition did it. If Svart can learn how to do this and use it on them. Perhaps if I contacted the real Inquisition, they would be able to come and do it.
Tomaso, a great merchant, asked Svart to join his organization knowing that Svart would bring it more wealth. Svart joined along with Nephele. Nephele is not like the others. The Others are not as we are. We’re going to make lots of money and Svart will have his treasure for when it is Time.
The Time draws near. Svart will return to Runeheim. To the hut he was born in. I’ll wait in the darkness and watch the thieves run back and forth like rats. Svart will sit in the tavern and listen to everybody’s secrets as only Wolf Rick ever noticed. Svart will wait for the Time.
