Journal of Athenais
In time it will be nothing more than a dust old tome found in a tower by a group of advertures. At this point in time it a beatufully crafted leather bound journal with the golden embossed symbol of Apollo. On the inside of the journal are well crafted pages, their only blemish is the dark stain of the ink used to inscribe the runes of forgoten offshoot of a language. It's difficult to tell but with some effort and fantastic guess work the words "Journal of the Priestess Athenais" is scrolled across the center of the page. Flipping to a random page you see more of the rune's scrolled across it, as you attempt to read it the flow of the words, with a little magical help, begin to tell a story.
"I am to be one of the legendary knight's, a defender of the people wielding the power of the silver dragon". You can practically feel the wash of emotions with that sentence alone, the pride, concern, guilt of leaving your village. The feeling of excitement for adventure has you read another pages sentence.
"We finally found the seventh knight, that of the obsidian dragon, now I just hope we can all work together well enough. I think that Chiron could bring us together as a team but, he refuses to take that step. I am not sure if he is scared or feels unsure of his decisions; perhaps I will speak to him later about it." While the names do not ring a bell for you; you at least understand wanting to encourage the other members of your team to take on the challanges they will face during pivitol moments.
As your eyes glaze from the tedious day to day affairs that have been recorded, the same word begins to appear "Nazolous". An biden thought crashes through your mind, it tears away any pleasant memory you had and fills in the space. It fills you with a sense of unyielding anger and then it unvails itself. What stands before you is no man, elf, dwarf, or any other mortal race. A god stares down at you, his every breath reeks of bloodlust, every beat of his heart fills you with the disgust for humans and thier ilk. In your mind you know this god needs to be defeated, but now a questions leaps to your mind How do you fight a god like this?
