You’re not sure what woke all of you in the middle of the night—it felt like an earthquake, and the sealed manse of the Air Shrine has unsealed despite the local garrison’s watch over it. It’s the best chance you’re going to get to be able to walk that path.
But now that you’re in it, you’ve all become separated, it’s pitch-dark, and the corridors are labyrinthine. And worst of all, the Neverborn whisper to you in the dark, suggesting which way to go, and—
—here, at the chasm that splits the two halves of the shrine, they tell you to jump.
You’re absolutely not fucking doing that, even if in their own way they’re trying to help something that they think is theirs. Even when your masked and cloaked traveling companion heeds their call, vanishing into the dark; even when Oroonoko does as well, relying on her gymnast’s build and athletic skills. There will be no jumping into any weird spooky holes tonight.
Later, you’re slightly embarrassed to find out from them that it was something of a test of faith, and that the drop wasn’t actually dangerous in the end; but on the other hand, you don’t feel very bad at all for ignoring the Neverborn.
Notable:
White-haired Shrike, probably from the same time as her other Shrine visits.
