"\u2018Ah, I knew my lovely singing voice would bring the crowd,\u2019 the Pilgrim said, catching sight of me, before taking a swing of her drink and jumping down to meet us. \u2018So, you\u2019re my escort then? My father said you\u2019d be coming by.\u2019 She then turned her attention to Storm when he came up to greet her. \u2018Hey there, boy! Oh, you\u2019re a strong handsome fellow, aren\u2019t you? I\u2019ll feel better having you in that cave, yes I will!\u2019 She then turned her attention back to me. \u2018I\u2019m Sparrow, by the way,\u2019 I said. \u2018And you just met my dog, Storm.\u2019 \u2018It\u2019s a pleasure to meet you,\u2019 she replied. \u2018I\u2019m Sister Hannah. Some people call me Hammer when they think they\u2019re being clever\u2026they\u2019re not. But I can\u2019t do anything since monks make a solemn vow never to bash anyone\u2019s face in. Did my father mention that?\u2019 \u2018No, but I kind of figured it out for myself.\u2019 I said. \u2018Yeah. Whatever fighting\u2019s to be done in there, it\u2019s all yours.\u2019 Sister Hannah said somewhat sadly, before picking up a huge jug. \u2018We require a Hero, not a pacifist monk. We\u2019ll need her to find a reason to fight.\u2019 said Theresa, before Sister Hannah turned to me and said: \u2018I don\u2019t mind telling you, I\u2019m a little envious.\u2019 she said as we walked towards the cave entrance. \u2018You get all the excitement while I have to carry this bloody thing like some common mule! I mean, look at it! It\u2019s enormous! Golden or not, how much water does a bloody acorn need?\u2019 Shaking her head, she added. \u2018After you,\u2019 before we entered the Wellspring Caves. One thing I could say about the Wellspring Caves was that it seemed to be more welcoming than the Hobbe Cave, but that didn\u2019t mean that I would let my guard down. After all\u2026looks can be deceiving. Just look at me, for example. Most people think that I\u2019m a helpless little girl (when I\u2019m not carrying my weapons) just because I\u2019m slim and fragile looking. Anyway, Sister Hannah didn\u2019t seem to share my thoughts, she seemed quite fascinated by the cave. \u2018It\u2019s amazing when you think about it,\u2019 Sister Hannah began. \u2018No one else has been in here for maybe a hundred years. Well, no monks anyway. I guess an adventurer or two could have come in \u2013 but if they made it out alive, I didn\u2019t hear about it. Hmm, anyway\u2026hey, don\u2019t you wonder off now, boy!\u2019 she added as Storm went ahead of us. \u2018Stay with us, where it\u2019s safe!\u2019 \u2018Don\u2019t worry, Sister Hannah.\u2019 I said soothingly. \u2018Storm\u2019s senses are quite keen, he\u2019ll be all right.\u2019 She didn\u2019t look convinced. We continued to walk through the cavern in silence, when we came to a large opening with a thin, ragged, zigzagged path that led to the opposite side of the room, above a dark fog pit. Most people would be looking down at the path, to make sure they didn\u2019t fall into the pit, but not Sister Hannah\u2026she was looking up at the ceiling. \u2018Look up there,\u2019 she said to me. I did as she said and saw a number of bright blue balls of light. \u2018They\u2019re lovely,\u2019 Sister Hannah continued. \u2018I think they\u2019re called wisps, souls of the dead that never left this world. It\u2019s actually rather sad, isn\u2019t it?\u2019 I didn\u2019t answer. For some reason, I had a funny feeling about them, as though they were there for a reason. \u2018You are a quiet one.\u2019 commented Sister Hannah. \u2018Watch your step, doggie. Looks a bit step in here.\u2019 She said as we headed down the path. Once we were inside the other cavern, Sister Hannah spoke again as we walked down its dark hall. \u2018Do you reckon we\u2019ll run into anything nasty in here? I mean a dark cave is one hell of a place for a holy spring, especially for an order of pacifists.\u2019 Sister Hannah said, then continued without waiting for an answer. \u2018You know\u2026I\u2019ve heard of monks in the north that believe to transcend violence you have to understand it first. So instead of praying, they train to fight everyday. They think that\u2019s the path to inner peace. Sometimes I wonder if the bloke who foundered the Temple of Light believed that. Or what if I had been adopted by the warrior monks, instead of my dad? My life would be completely different right now. Exactly the same person, just change where I was brought up and I\u2019d get totally different beliefs, and it that\u2019s true, our beliefs aren\u2019t really worth a toss, are they?\u2019 Yet again, I didn\u2019t have a chance to answer. \u2018Yet even though I know that\u2026I still can\u2019t imagine ever breaking my vows.\u2019 It took all my strength not to snort at Theresa\u2019s next comment; \u2018She\u2019s quite insightful\u2026for a monk. But this pledge of peace will not do. It is not the time for peace!\u2019 Due to my silence, due to listening to Theresa, Sister Hannah interpreted my silence the wrong way. \u2018It must seem a bit stupid to you,\u2019 she muttered. \u2018I mean, it seems a bit stupid to me.\u2019 I did not answer her as we walked into a central chamber. True, I found worshipping things stupid, but that was me, and I was not about to admit to it. \u2018Alright, this should be the central chamber,\u2019 Sister Hannah said, looking around. \u2018Wow\u2026I\u2019ve never seen anything like this\u2026ever! Now,\u2019 she said, snapping back to the reason why we were there, \u2018according to my father, we need to go through these three doors in order to collect the water. Putting weight on the pressure plates will open the doors. This ones first,\u2019 Sister Hannah added, walking over and standing on a pressure plate. The moment she stood on the pressure plate, the gate began to open. \u2018There you go,\u2019 said Sister Hannah. \u2018The plates require more and more weight as we go on. Luckily, I\u2019ve got something unbelievably heavy right here. All we have to do is add a bit of water from the fountain in the room up ahead; at least it should be in the room up ahead.\u2019 she added, following me through the now opened doorway. We, no sorry, Sister Hannah didn\u2019t speak again until we reached another large opening with a thin, ragged, zigzagged path that lead to the opposite side of the room, above a dark fog pit. \u2018Steep in here as well! This cave really is quite dangerous!\u2019 Sister Hannah said. Luckily, she didn\u2019t see me roll my eyes. I bet she hadn\u2019t even been in that many caves. \u2018Not that I\u2019ve been in many caves,\u2019 she said, proving my theory. \u2018I bet you have, haven\u2019t you? Probably found all sorts of interesting things, treasure and that.\u2019 She continued, but I wasn\u2019t listening anymore. Instead, I was looking up. Just like in the other cavern opening, this one too had wisps. Something about them made me nervous. Why? I do not know. \u2018What do you reckons down there, in the dark, down the bottom?\u2019 said Sister Hannah, referring to the dark fog pit. She hadn\u2019t noticed that I hadn\u2019t heard a word that she had been saying. \u2018Bodies, maybe? Bones? All the poor buggers who have taken a bad step?\u2019 \u2018Or have been knocked off the edge by something.\u2019 I muttered, my mind still on the wisps. \u2018What was that?\u2019 asked Sister Hannah. \u2018Nothing,\u2019 I lied, not wanting to worry her. We eventually came to the first room the spring was in. \u2018Now, there are two plates in this room,\u2019 explained Sister Hannah, wading through the water, that filled the room, and over to the fountain with me following her and Storm swimming behind me. \u2018It will take both of us to get the water flowing,\u2019 continued Sister Hannah, who was now standing next to the fountain. \u2018I stand here so I can catch it, and you need to stand on that one,\u2019 she added, pointing to a plate next to her. I waited until she was bending down on her plate with the jug at the ready, before I stood on the one next to her, praying that I would be heavy enough to work it. The moment I stood on the pressure plate, water came out of the fountain and fell neatly into the jug. \u2018Oh yeah, I can feel this thing getting even heavier,\u2019 groaned Sister Hannah as the water began to fill up the jug. \u2018I really hope they find someone else to do this next time. Mind you, I\u2019ll be an old lady by then, so I\u2019m probably off the hook. You know, this is probably going to be the highlight of my life.\u2019 She continued to whine. \u2018\u201CThe day I carried a jug through a cave\u201D. Hardly epic poem stuff, is it?\u2019 \u2018No, it isn\u2019t.\u2019 I agreed absentmindedly, thinking that she was likely to make it in to poems as the Hero of Strength, even though she didn\u2019t know that she was special...yet. \u2018Did you hear something?\u2019 Sister Hannah asked all of a sudden. \u2018No,\u2019 I said slowly, looking around before looking down at Storm, who was currently laying down at my feet, unconcerned with everything going on around him. \u2018Probably just my imagination,\u2019 said Sister Hannah, before looking me up and down. \u2018Don\u2019t talk much, do you?\u2019 I tried hard not to laugh. How was it even possible to get a word in when she never shuts up? And I say that in a nice way, mind you. \u2018Right,\u2019 began Sister Hannah, breaking me from my thoughts on what she had said previously. \u2018I reckon that\u2019s all the water we will get from that one.\u2019 I hadn\u2019t even noticed that the water had stopped running. Together the three of us made out way back to the central chamber, but when we arrived at the opening with the wisps\u2026our troubles began. I was right to think that the wisps would be trouble, for as we walked out onto the path, many wisps fell down into the path and hollow men took there place. \u2018I didn\u2019t know they did that!\u2019 said Sister Hannah, taking a step back. \u2018They must be trying to protect the water\u2026\u2019 I ran at the advancing enemies. All my blows were quick and precise; shattering hollow men bones and dust everywhere. Thinking that I had destroyed them all, I headed back to Sister Hannah, but that wasn\u2019t a good idea. Before I had even taken a step, a hollow man appeared behind me and knocked me off the edge of the path, before running at Sister Hannah and Storm. Sister Hannah cried out as I went over the edge. Fortunately, I was able to grab onto the edge of the path to stop me falling into the dark pit. I quickly pulled myself back onto the path and turned to see Storm trying to fight off the hollow man and protect Sister Hannah. I unsung my rifle and took aim, then pulled the trigger and destroyed the final hollow man. I walked more carefully back to Sister Hannah and Storm, but no hollow men attacked. \u2018Thank goodness you are all right!\u2019 exclaimed Sister Hannah, when I stopped in front of her as I fought off an overjoyed Storm. \u2018It will take more than hollow men to get rid of me,\u2019 I said, smiling at her, before motioning to her to flow me. \u2018Anyway, you were fantastic!\u2019 said Sister Hannah. \u2018Those things didn\u2019t stand a chance! Have you ever fought them before?\u2019 \u2018No, that was my first time,\u2019 I said over my shoulder. \u2018Really? It sure looked like you had fought them before!\u2019 Sister Hannah said sounding very impressed. \u2018You must be a very fast learner!\u2019 I only shrugged as we walked into the central chamber; before I turned and looked back down the path we just came from, plus looking around for wisps and hollow men. \u2018I don\u2019t see any wisps now, and no hollow men followed us,\u2019 said Sister Hannah, doing the same thing as me. \u2018Guess we\u2019re safe in here. All right\u2026second door, second plate.\u2019 She continued walking over to the second plate and opening the gate. \u2018I\u2019m glad I have you with me,\u2019 Sister Hannah said, as we walked to the second chamber. \u2018What if you weren\u2019t here? How in the world would two defenceless monks get through this place alive? It doesn\u2019t make any sense!\u2019 She said, before adding bitterly, \u2018I\u2019d give anything to be rid of this stupid vow!\u2019 \u2018Promising,\u2019 said Theresa, but I didn\u2019t agree! Okay, I agreed that we had a chance to get Sister Hannah to fight, but I didn\u2019t like the way Sister Hannah said that she would \u201Cgive anything.\u201D For when that is said, Fate will take something you would miss dearly away from you. Not convinced? Look at what happened to Rose and I. We use to say that too! \u2018Well, it's a good thing you\u2019re here anyway.\u2019 Sister Hannah said, bringing me back to reality. \u2018Let\u2019s just get on with it. The room ought to be up ahead, ought to be the same as before.\u2019 She was correct. We arrived at the next chamber in no time and, to my dismay, saw that more wisps covered the ceiling. \u2018Right here\u2019s the next one,\u2019 said Sister Hannah, being oblivious to the wisps. \u2018I\u2019ll stand by the fountain same as before, and the other pressure plate is up those stairs.\u2019 Not liking the idea of Sister Hannah being that far away from me with wisps around, I told Storm to stay with her. I moved quickly up the stairs, just to get it over and done with, and went and stood on the pressure plate, keeping my eye on both Sister Hannah and the wisps. \u2018Ah, brilliant. Just have to wait till this thing stops running.\u2019 said Sister Hannah. \u2018You\u2019d think that they would make this thing with a flat bottom in case you wanted to have a rest! But as it is, it would just tip over and then where would we be?\u2019 \u2018Then please, don\u2019t let it fall over.\u2019 I begged. \u2018I won\u2019t\u2026Oh bugger! Here they come!\u2019 exclaimed Sister Hannah as the wisps came back down to earth. Groaning, I jumped off the podium I was standing on and bashed all three of the hollow men heads together, before I went back up the stairs to take my place once more, while Sister Hannah was asking, \u2018Can you kill something that\u2019s already dead?\u2019 \u2018In the case of hollow men, I\u2019d say yes.\u2019 I answered, before groaning once more, jumping down and destroying three more hollow men that had appeared, before walking back up the podium. I don\u2019t know how many times I did that process over and over again, until I remembered Will. I was practically kicking myself as I sent blades flying at the new hollow men that had appeared. \u2018Wow, I\u2019ve never seen someone do that before!\u2019 exclaimed Sister Hannah. \u2018Keep using Will like that and we\u2019ll be through here in no time!\u2019 Of course, she was correct. Me using Will instead of melee was much quicker and in no time Sister Hannah was saying, \u2018Full, back to the central chamber then! There should be only one room left to go, so we\u2019re nearly finished!\u2019 \u2018That\u2019s often the point where the ground falls out from underneath your feet. Be cautious!\u2019 warned Theresa, but I had never needed her advice less. It was clear that the hollow men didn\u2019t want us to leave alive which meant there had to be other creatures lurking somewhere if they failed. Sister Hannah and I didn\u2019t speak to each other on the way back to the central chamber for we were both lost in our own thoughts. Even Storm seemed to be lost in thought for he to was abnormally quiet. However, when we re-entered the central chamber once more our thoughts were interrupted by a loud, but muffled noise. Naturally, I automatically drew my sword and looked around. \u2018What in the world was that?\u2019 asked Sister Hannah, pausing on her way to the third pressure plate. \u2018Are you ready for\u2026whatever that was?\u2019 \u2018A better question would be, \u201Cis it ready for me?\u201D.\u2019 I said, sword still drawn. Sister Hannah glanced over at me before standing on the pressure plate, and for some reason, the gate only opened a little bit. It was big enough for me to roll underneath, if I wanted to, but Sister Hannah wouldn\u2019t fit with the jug. Before Sister Hannah or I could do anything, Storm ran under the gate and disappeared down the cavern. \u2018Where on earth\u2026Hey! Come back! Who knows what\u2019s on the other side!\u2019 Sister Hannah yelled after him. \u2018You think his all right?\u2019 she added to me when Storm didn\u2019t come back. \u2018Of course, Storm can take anything on!\u2019 I said in a confident, but convincing voice. However, it wasn\u2019t Sister Hannah that I was trying to convince, it was myself. I could not lose Storm; I would sacrifice anything to save him, if I had to. A few more minutes passed before either of us spoke again. \u2018Okay, I\u2019m getting worried now,\u2019 said Sister Hannah. \u2018I\u2019m getting worried\u2026\u2019 I stopped. I had seen something in the distance on the other side of the door. Wondering why I had stopped talking, Sister Hannah looked in the same direction to see what I was looking at and she soon saw that I had seen Storm running towards us. \u2018What you got there?\u2019 Sister Hannah asked Storm as he ran back under the gate and dropped something in front of him. \u2018Oh, that is disgusting!\u2019 she said when she saw that the object was a hollow man\u2019s head. Storm\u2019s head dropped a bit and when Sister Hannah saw this she quickly said, \u2018Oh no. But you a good dog for attacking him. Who\u2019s a good boy? Who tears the heads off hollow men? Is it you? Is it you, boy?\u2019 Storm barked and waged his tail at her. Smiling, Sister Hannah turned to me and said, \u2018Quite a companion you\u2019ve got. Remind me never to let him lick me again.\u2019 She added, turning back to the pressure plate to try it again, and\u2026succuss, it finally opened. While she was doing that, I quietly praised Storm myself and gave him a dog treat and elixir (for any unseen injuries\u2026and to help with his breath!), before I went through the open doorway. \u2018Right, we\u2019ve got one more room to go through, then we should be finished,\u2019 Sister Hannah said, following me. \u2018Just don\u2019t get to far ahead though. I don\u2019t know what made that noise and I\u2019m not keen to find out.\u2019 I only nodded and re-drew my sword so I would be ready for anything. We entered yet another room but as we did, the gates at both the entrance and exit shut and locked themselves before all these hollow men appeared. Sighing I started to fight all of the hollow men off once more. \u2018That will teach them to come back to life!\u2019 Sister Hannah said happily, as I defeated the last of them, but her happiness soon disappeared as a big, headless hollow man appeared in the middle of the room. \u2018Oh my\u2026you can get us out of here, can\u2019t you?\u2019 I only nodded and drew my rifle. I would not fight this hollow man with a melee weapon for I had just seen it use electric shock and it would be unlikely for it to shoot lighting bolts at me if I wasn\u2019t at close range. Anyway, I quickly, but silently went behind it and started shooting. It paused briefly before heading in the direction of where the bullets came from. Over and over again, I snuck behind it and shot it before I had finally destroyed the bloody thing. Moments after I had destroyed the headless hollow man, Sister Hannah spoke to me. \u2018Wow, that was amazing! You killed the lot of them! Whew! I was really worried for a moment there! Well, for several moments. I\u2026thankyou. You were brilliant!\u2019 \u2018Thank you,\u2019 I said. \u2018On we go, then!\u2019 I added, leading the way through the doorway that had opened once more. Upon arriving in the final room, and after a quick check for wisps, Sister Hannah and I quickly went to the relevant pressure plates. \u2018Lords of light, bless this water,\u2019 said Sister Hannah. \u2018So we may give rise to new life once more. As new life rises, so shall we\u2026\u2019 At first I wondered why she stopped and looked at the gate at the end of the chamber, but then I saw it open and a monk came running out. \u2018Sister Hannah\u2026\u2019 he panted. \u2018Brother Robin! What is it?\u2019 asked a bewildered Sister Hannah, and she wasn\u2019t the only one that was confused. \u2018It\u2019s your father\u2026one of Lucien\u2019s men. He is holding him hostage at the Temple. He\u2019s got a gun!\u2019 said Brother Robin. Sister Hannah dropped the jug, spilling water everywhere, and ran up the path to the exit, only stopping to break a huge hammer off the statue next to the exit while yelling out to me. \u2018I have to save my father! Come on, we have to go to the Temple!\u2019 During the yelling, Theresa spoke to me; \u2018One of Lucien\u2019s agents has gone to the Temple. Go after her!\u2019 At first I wondered why she told me to go after her, but when I looked around I realised that Storm and I were alone in the final chamber. Cursing quietly, I ran out of the room after Sister Hannah, and arrived at the edge of the cliff that over looked the Temples paddock. In the distance, I could see Sister Hannah running up the path towards the Temple. I quickly jumped down the cliff and ran out of the paddock, up to the Temple. As I got closer to the Temple, I heard voices. Two of them I recognised. \u2018Father, are you okay?\u2019 questioned Sister Hannah\u2019s voice. \u2018His one of Lucien\u2019s men\u2026\u2019 Came the Abbott\u2019s voice. \u2018You\u2019re coming with me, or he dies!\u2019 Came a rough male's voice I didn\u2019t recognise. \u2018Like hell I am! You let him go, before I break you in half!\u2019 Came Sister Hannah\u2019s angry reply. The moment I heard her say that, I quickened my pace, but I knew that it would be too late, and the gun shot that followed confirmed what I thought. \u2018NO!\u2019 Came the agonising scream of Sister Hannah. \u2018Don\u2019t make me kill you too!\u2019 said Lucien\u2019s Agent. Just as I arrived at the entrance of the Temple, I watched as Sister Hannah swung her hammer and killed her enemy before she fell to her knees beside her father\u2019s body. \u2018Father!\u2019 sobbed Sister Hannah angrily. \u2018I could have stopped him! You idiot! You stupid fool! I could have stopped him before he\u2026\u2019 She was unable to finish her sentence for she burst out crying. I just stood at the entrance helplessly, wishing that I was able to help her, but I knew that I couldn\u2019t help her. Another thing that I knew was that she would now be free of her vow. Turning around, thinking of going back to the Wellspring Caves to get the jug of Holy Water (or what was left of it), I came face to face with the now miserable monks of the Temple of Light. None of them stopped me as I walked away to get the jug of holy water\u2026 The next morning, I attended the Abbott\u2019s funeral and the Golden Acorn ritual. The Abbott was to be buried under the Golden Acorn. \u2018I\u2019m sorry Father,\u2019 Sister Hannah said sadly, as she knelt next to her father\u2019s grave. \u2018Not that I broke my vow. I\u2019m sorry I didn\u2019t break it sooner. I never did fit in at this place\u2026we both knew that. And now, I\u2019m making a vow. Lucien will die for what he did to you! I won\u2019t break this one!\u2019 \u2018Sister Hannah, the blessing\u2026\u2019 Brother Robin said gently. \u2018You do it,\u2019 she replied bitterly. Brother Robin obliged. \u2018As new life rises, so shall we. As the seed returns to the earth, so do we all.\u2019 The monks then all turned and left the clearing. \u2018Is that it then?\u2019 Sister Hannah yelled after them furiously. \u2018My father is gone and the Golden Oak is flourishing again. So life now goes on like before, does it?\u2019 At that moment Theresa appeared in blue light and walked over to Sister Hannah. \u2018The other monks may believe that, but your eyes have been opened.\u2019 Theresa said, coming to a halt in front of Sister Hannah. \u2018Where did you come from? Who are you?\u2019 asked a startled Sister Hannah, looking quickly over at me, but when she saw that I was undisturbed by Theresa\u2019s sudden appearance, she relax a little bit. \u2018Someone who can tell you much about Lucien. Where he is, what his plans are and how you can gain revenge\u2026if you will listen.\u2019 answered Theresa. \u2018I want to know everything!\u2019 Sister Hannah said hastily. \u2018Then come with me, Sister Hannah.\u2019 Theresa said, holding out her hand. \u2018Call me Hammer!\u2019 replied Sister Hannah, taking Theresa\u2019s hand."@en . .

I am writing to tell you not to trust him or his Menders. They claim to 'fix' the time stream to avoid a cataclysmic event in the future, but do not believe them. You may not believe me yet, that is fine, prudent in fact, but let me ask you this: if there is truly an event of this nature on the horizon, why did they not take you there? Are you not one of the chosen keepers of the secret? Have you stopped to ask what secret they are really guarding?\n\nI warn you: do not openly question Ouroboros. That would be foolish.
