fifth shot ☢ VIDEO (unseelie locked)

[mixcds]

I don't suppose there's any shard holders who are doctors in Caer Scima? I'll even take a scientist.

[He pauses. ]

A scientist might be better, actually. I've got something I need replicated, if possible and - an ailment. Of sorts.

[Another pause, and then he lifts a shaking hand. ] It won't stop doing this. I don't know why.

[He gives it a violent shake; the tremors don't stop immediately, as they have done in the past. A few seconds go on and then, gradually it subsides. Kieren pinches the bridge of his nose. ]

Thanks.

There are, but I already know them all, in this case? Magic is -- the fear of the unknown.

Worth the risk, though, if it works.

Do you? Or do you simply believe you do?

[ There's a low laugh, something dark and old and full of teeth. ]

Magic is all around you in this world. Magic brought you here. Magic rests in the Shard in your chest. Magic is everything, known and unknown. It is not so where I am from, but fear of it has only caused ruin.

I know them.

[He says it gravely. He knows them inside and out. ]

Magic brought me here as I am, though. It didn't -- it didn't change me.

You think you do.

[ No one ever truly knows everything. ]

I do not see how that is relevant.

What I mean is, I want to believe it can help. I'm willing to give it a shot. But it were able to help, wouldn't it have changed me already?

No.

Just because it is in every aspect of this world does not mean it would alter you simply for being in it.
