Lilia  |
Nowadays, the Keeper of Grief Isle is considered no more than an urban legend,
but back in the time when mages were still called wizards and witches, they were an entity feared by all. They said that the Keeper would come for those practitioners of magic that lost themselves in their power. | |
Malleus  |
Chronicles of history in the royal palace detail the history of that organization going back to the age of gods.
A time when the connection between magic and Blot was yet a mystery. To most people, Overblot was no different from a natural disaster that came without warning. The ones who would seal away that disaster within Grief Isle and bring peace to the people was a branch of the Jupiter family… Records tell us that the Shroud family took up the duty of the Keeper to ensure those disasters never occurred again. | |
Cater  |
That sounds more like the stuff of myths than history to me.
Cay-Cay is all overwhelmed from just how big this all is. | |
Lilia |
Yet the curiosity those children of men held in their hearts meant they did not cease their research into magic.
As time passed, magic became a safe practice. The wizards and witches became mages. Now, mage licenses are internationally recognized and magic is a part of people’s everyday lives. They exist out in the open in all parts of the world. It is regulated by the government and there are laws in place that crack down on those that abuse or use magic for nefarious purposes. So eventually the Keepers vanished from the stage of history. However, they continued their research into those disasters, into Blot, as the non-government agency STYX. | |
Trein  |
Idia Shroud… We were well aware that he was the son of the Shroud family,
but this is the first I am hearing of this secret connection between the Shroud family and STYX. I pride myself on having read through every piece of literature on the history of magic; however, I have never encountered such a description. | |
Lilia |
You have only read those histories that humans have access too, have you not?
Time flows very differently for humans and fae. Depending on one's country and heritage, the things you pass down will be different. As will the things you record. The biases and values of the one doing the recording will put the history in a different light and alter it. That is the sad fact of history. | |
| Choice 1: An altered history… | Choice 2: (This is making my chest tight.) | |
Trein |
Was the headmaster aware…
…of Idia Shroud’s ties to STYX? If he was… …he could have gone through the Shroud family to find some course of action that would have allowed us to avoid this situation. | |
Malleus |
Maybe, maybe not. Even if he had known, there maybe have been no stopping the Keepers decisions. | |
Trey  |
…What are STYX…
…planning to do with Riddle and the others who went through Overblot? | |
Jade  |
After listening to Lilia’s insight on the matter, I can’t imagine that they are being treated as guests.
At best they may be subjected to a thorough examination, and at worst the subject of experimentation. At the absolute worst they may not even— | |
Kalim  |
Hey! Don’t joke about that kind of stuff, Jade. | |
Rook  |
……… | |
Floyd  |
You know what… I had a thought after listening to Flapjack octo’s story.
Those guys flew all over campus busting stuff up like it was goin’ outta style and they took a bunch of people. There had to have been some guys taking videos of everything that went down. There’s no way they’re some secret syndicate. Or does this mean that they’ve got the means to cover the whole thing up after the fact? | |
Trein |

Ruggie  |
Man, I’ve got one hell of a bad feeling about this. We should probably worry about our own hides first and foremost before Leona and the others. | |
Trein |
While I would like to correct Bucchi on his manner of speaking, I cannot bring myself to disagree with his sentiment.
As long as the location of Grief Isle is unknown to us, we have no means to put any pressure on them. All of you should return to your dorms to call a meeting with your residents. Take stock of the damage done around campus and report back to me. | |
| Yes, sir. | ||
