Volume 16: Answers
The Traveler
The Oracle is left in a state of shock, wondering what Varren meant by the truth of Amy Raeden. “Truth” is never a concrete word, it is subjective. It comes in multiple shades based on experience, perception, and prejudice. The Oracle’s normally surreal exterior is replaced with a face of uncertainty. Even her glowing, inner light seems to dim to the ambient light of the room. Normally, she radiates a golden aura, looking heavenly with her long, sweeping robes. Right now, however, she looks depleted, low on energy. Her mind is racing though with ideas. She can’t keep quiet.
“Now, I’m compelled! I must know what you mean!“ Says the Oracle.
“What I mean?” Says the magistrate.
“About Amy! What is the big secret about Amy Raeden?” Asks the Oracle, desperate for an answer.
“Ahh. Well, Amy is a gift. She is much more than she realizes. She is our hope, our future.” Says the magistrate.
“And?!” Says the Oracle.
“And she has powers that you and I can only dream of.” Says Varren.
“Is that why you brought her back here? You want to use her powers?” Asks the Oracle.
“I brought her back here because this is her home and she has reached the age to claim what is her birthright.” Says Varren.
