• Aurelia finds Arsul before leaving the ship.

Arsul_T "I looked into what we were talking about the other night. I thought I should tell you. I--I don't know if it's wise that I tell you what I saw but I said I would, if you wish it. Before you say wether you want ot or not, know that this Sacrifice is a choice within you. It will change you. It is not solely a sacrifice for us, the band,I believe it is more how you come to terms with yourself. It is a very personal issue, I bel

Arsul_T ieve. And I think telling you what I have seen will ultimately change the outcome. Perhaps I am changing it now. But you must make the choices from here." and he waits for you

Arsul_T he is very careful with his words, as if he's balancing

Aurelia "Ah."

• Aurelia is silent for a moment.

Arsul_T he's also slightly curious as to how you will proceed and also slightly awed

Aurelia After a long silence, "What will come if you tell?"

Arsul_T "I could not see my direct involvement. It is more the choices you make that change things. There were also many hundreds of outcomes. Some very strong, some unclear, some so close they are already behind you, others are decades away. I cannot be sure of what will happen in my telling. I'm not even sure if the telling is important so much as how it is recieved by you."

Aurelia Another moment of silence. "Tell."

• Arsul_T nods. There is the slightest apprehension. It feels to him as if he's jumping off a ledge blind. But he is jumping, not falling if that makes sense
• Aurelia waits silently.

Arsul_T "You stood on a path within you Beauty and Creulty. Before you were paths beyond count and at each I could see another you, a you where Beauty or Creulty ruled or where they reigned tightly merged into one entity. That is the Sacrifice. Sometimes I would see you with both seperate as they are now. However on all thee paths the Colour never made it through the Summer Country. On some paths you lied dead." he says all of this ev

Arsul_T enly without internal emotion aside from remembered awe. "But there were several very strong images of you that I saw. Perhaps the paths you are closest to following when I had the vision." He'll then describe those.

• Aurelia continues to listen silently. When Arsul finishes, she again says, "Ah."

Arsul_T He'll save the bleeding fingered woman for last. "She is who I have seen before."

Aurelia Inflectionless.

• Arsul_T smiles slightly. He feels slight concern but is cautious to act on it

Aurelia "I dream of paths..."

• Aurelia doesn't say anything further unless prompted.

Arsul_T "Perhaps they will lead you. My dreams do."

Arsul_T he leaves her.

• Aurelia lets him go.
