[ The message that comes across the network is abrupt, as though the sender thought about sending it and simply did with no further thought. ]

I wish to learn more of the magic of your worlds, of this world. Not only how it works but how to use it.

I can offer a trade, should you require it.

[ After a moment, there's an addendum: ]

If you do not wish to discuss such things over the lockets, dedicate a shrine to the Outsider. I will know. We will speak there.

You lived there? It sounds more like a place in between realms perhaps. But of course I could be wrong on that. I know when I was under the Sleeping Curse I was kept in the netherworld. The realm between life and death.

There's a 'void' here too?

I am not human. It is not so difficult for me to live in such places.

Yes. The sailors speak of it often; it is a force that seeks to devour this world, and all others.

I guess that shouldn't be too surprising given the nature of this place. I've met fairies and mermaids and all sorts back home. And that's not going into ogres and giants we deal with too.

First I'm hearing of it. If it's sailors though, is that something to do with the ocean? Storms and such?

But are you surprised?

No. We are simply on an island at the moment.

I guess I just didn't consider such places to be somewhere anyone would live. I'm....used to the not human thing at least.

I'm just not sure what it means. This whole war is enough to deal with, let alone considering something like that on top of this.

It is certainly not common in my world.

I believe you'll find that the two are linked.

I can't imagine it would be but then, different worlds.

How so? I only more recently arrived myself, so I don't know nearly so much of this place or its history yet even if I've been given the basics and done a little research in the library a bit.

Read more. Ask around.

Maybe I will.
