I mean, I'm sure someone knows who they are, probably important people. The Head Mage or whatever. But the guy never told us his name, and the woman never said anythin' at all. I don't know about another faction, but I do know that it was a real big deal that they were able to freeze the whole kingdom. Apparently, no one should be able to do that. Like, it's supposed to be impossible to use that much magic.
[ She shrugs. This is all information she's gleaned third-hand, over many months, and she has no real way of knowing how true it is. She has also never actually cared -- that man freed her and that's what she cares about. If he ever shows his face again, she would love to thank him personally.
Her nose wrinkles with delight when he offers to make her something, though she shakes her head a little. The stuff she really wants is not anything that would be possible in Abraxas, at least not outside of the Horizon. But... ]
Tell you what. I just moved to Cadens, so I got a whole new place to fill up. Make me somethin' pretty that I can put on the wall. Dealer's choice, whatever you think is best.
[ When she takes another drink, her eyes squint a little, thinking. She knows, by now, that most other people don't understand the Horizon, the Singularity's magic, in the way that she does. She doesn't understand it all very well either, but she does have a much more intuitive way of interacting with it, working with it. ]
I don't think that's how it works, really. I don't... I think it's kind of like an animal. It doesn't have thoughts like that, it just -- it just kinda is. I don't think it really wants any of us dead, because it would need a reason, y'know? It's a real human thing, to actually want someone dead. Animals, when they kill, it's just an instinct, not a real want. And I think the Singularity has instincts like that. It's bein' forced to let us through, bring us into this world, and I think it's just fightin' back. But I don't know that it has such direct control on our connection with it, on like a daily level, if that makes sense. We can have the Horizon, the magic, the powers, because we're all tied to it.
[ She pauses, takes a sip, waves her hand vaguely. It's all conjecture. ]
I mean, I don't know. None of us know, for sure. It's... it's just what I feel.
