The Shaman Has Appeared!
The hedges part, his pale figure striding proudly out from between them. A smile plays at the corners of his blacked lips, delighted at his own workings.
“Me? I am not hiding anything. Merely defending the secrets of this land, secrets older than you or I.”
“I’ve heard what you seek, Kaladin, once-god, and anger is not the answer. We all are wronged, but we make do with what we get. It would be wise of you to do the same.” He stops, contemplating you with his dark gaze. His stance mirrors your own, a pale copy of your own figure. It may be another trick, but something about him seems now genuine. “I don’t have the key you seek, but I’ll tell you what: if you prove yourself worthy of the mind, I’ll give you something better. Something that may make you your own god again. Answer my riddle correctly, and what once was lost may again be found.
“This thing repeats, no man ever yet did see,
it never was but is always to be.
From Orien’s first breath to Caligo’s great dark,
Birthed from nothing and returning thenceforth.
It leaves behind a single sign:
the passing of the sun across the sky.”
