| → Go to Ferryd Shillor |
| YOU: I have the items, as requested, and I am ready for further instruction. |
| Ferryd: Dedication. |
| Ferryd: And perseverance. |
| Ferryd: They gave you power. |
| Ferryd: You've reached a point where I can give you no more. |
| Ferryd: Only the world now can teach you more lessons. |
| Ferryd: You are a full Way Master of the Red Way. |
| -Ferryd takes the items and examines them carefully. Then he assents, slowly.- |
| Ferryd: Return the items to their owners, as soon as you can. |
| Ferryd: They will need them. |
| Ferryd: Now, give me your last Adept item, please. |
| YOU: That is my robe, I am ready to replace it. |
| -Ferryd folds the robe, while his eyes look in yours.- |
| Ferryd: As a Master of the Red Circle you are allowed to learn about our history, and our secrets too. |
| Ferryd: Are you interested to hear them? |
| YOU: Yes, please. |
| Ferryd: Very well. |
| Ferryd: I was sure of your interest. |
| Ferryd: Would you like to talk about our history? |
| -Ferryd half closes his eyes- |
| Ferryd: … |
| Ferryd: or about our secrets? |
| YOU: Well tell me about the secrets then. |
| Ferryd: The secrets I want to tell are for your ears, and for very few others. |
| Ferryd: Only people who proved themselves can manage to keep a secret like the one I'm going to tell you. |
| Ferryd: The danger in it can harm many lives, not only your own. |
| Ferryd: So you are allowed to discuss them only with the highest levels of the Circles. |
| Ferryd: Full masters of every Way. |
| -Ferryd makes a pause, looking in your eyes.- |
| Ferryd: The texts in the Sanctuary holds knowledge about all the Ways, about artefacts of power… |
| Ferryd: And it contains the complete version of this secret too. |
| Ferryd: The position, even the existence of the sanctuary, is closed to the citizen. |
| Ferryd: Secrets hidden in other secrets. |
| Ferryd: I need your word. |
| Ferryd: Tell me you will never share this knowledge outside the Masters of the Circles. |
| YOU: I promise. |
| Ferryd: The first secret is the Seventh Way. |
| Ferryd: Until now I assume you know only six Ways, but there is a Seventh. |
| Ferryd: The Seventh is the essence of all the other Ways, but is also none of them. |
| Ferryd: It is magic without the glyphs created by Talad. |
| Ferryd: This is 'Wild' magic, something outside the rules of the Gods. |
| Ferryd: Diaboli used it, since they are the only race who cast magic before arriving in Yliakum. |
| -The tone of Ferryd grows stern.- |
| Ferryd: Be careful, and pay special attention to my next words. |
| Ferryd: Your level of power will give you sense of the existence of the Seventh Way. |
| Ferryd: Temptation will strike you. |
| Ferryd: And you have to contrast it. |
| Ferryd: Otherwise 'Wild' magic will wipe out your very soul. |
| Ferryd: You will be put to True Death if the Seventh Way does not destroy you first. |
| Ferryd: Is this understood? |
| YOU: Yes, I understand Archmage. |
| Ferryd: The dangers of the Seventh Way go beyond your imagination. |
| Ferryd: Two mages attempted to master it until today, and they suffered a fate I would wish on no one. |
| -Ferryd pauses, his gaze is firm.- |
| Ferryd: Now, I have to tell you about another hidden knowledge. |
| Ferryd: Something not even I wish to know, a threat to the existence itself. |
| Ferryd: The Circles, especially the Masters, are fighting a war against this Dark entity. |
| Ferryd: These battles are hidden to the eye of the people of Yliakum, but you have to know. |
| Ferryd: Our enemy is called the BlackFlame. |
| Ferryd: Have you ever heard about it? |
| YOU: No idea. |
| Ferryd: I wish to fill the pool of your knowledge. |
| Ferryd: None knows for sure what is the BlackFlame. |
| Ferryd: Someone supposes it is a God. |
| Ferryd: While others assume it is a force of destruction. |
| Ferryd: I have not the answer to what is the BlackFlame, but I can say that its touch infects and deprives the creations of the other Ways. |
| Ferryd: Your path will surely teach you more about this, maybe it will grant you access to the Vault of Ages in Arden. |
| Ferryd: Even I had that privilege only once. |
| Ferryd: I was allowed to catch a glimpse of what is kept in the Vault of Ages, no more. |
| Ferryd: That day I discovered… |
| -Ferryd closes his eyes for some second.- |
| Ferryd: Much of the past is hidden, and I did not know why, until my visit in Arden. |
| -Ferryd takes a long breath.- |
| Ferryd: You will understand, for yourself. |
| Ferryd: Not today, but when your time will come. |
| Ferryd: Well then, one last formality. |
| -Ferryd puts away the old cloak and opens a sack, taking out a new cloak. He offers it to you.- |
| Ferryd: This will prove the mastery you gained in the Red Way as you are now a 'Way Master of the Red Way'. |
| Ferryd: Make a good use of it, YOU. |
| Ferryd: And take this. |
| -Ferryd hands you an amulet.- |
| Ferryd: Bring it to Levrus, one final lesson awaits you there. |
