You reached out for more and in return tarnished the gift of life. The weave is evergiving, but not neverending. Same as love, it is eternal and bound by willingless to offer and let go. You - the evercaring and you - the ambitious thinker were brought together for a reason. Reaching beyond without knowledge of consequences has given you a taste of darkness. But now... Receive the one true light!!! As soon as those words were spoken, images flash before their eyes in quick succession... She is indeed his mother, but not yet in her timeline. Not yet anyway. Years later a massive sandstorm brought about the destruction of her village. Famine and desperation made thousands leave their homes hoping to find a new home. Many got lost and separated. They did not find a better place, but they did find another village where things have gotten so bad that it had to be on lockdown. People were forced to work in order to ensure continous survival meaning many could not see their relatives. The boy showed promise in the arts of magic and was taken in to become a wizard by force since soldiers did not ask for permission. She cared for the sick and dying most of her days as she contined begging to see her son once more. Her efforts were in vain as she continued to work until the village was finally taken later by an even bigger sandstorm, wiping it out completely. Meanwhile her son was forced to work on a solution for this crysis. The wizards guild, by order from the king, was ordered to travel to the heart of the kingdom where they would stay until they found a solution for the impending doom. Times were tough, but the boy was indeed more than promising as he quickly climbed the ranks to become the leader. He was tough, but fair to everyone. Since he never remembered his mother's face and was not allowed to leave nor would he know where to look, he focused all his time and studies in order to find a way to manipulate the weave to his own will and use this power to change humanity's fate. However, as the visions show, this was not to happen since one of his subjects altered the crystal in order to unleash the dark powers of the old gods and take over the kingdom for himself. Before the experiment was to take place, he tried to activate it himself leading to a massive explosion instead which wiped out most of the population and brought about a cataclysmic event which turned most cities into dust leaving deserted landscapes in their wake. - And now you know. It is not your time, but you have much to learn. When you will open your eyes once more, take your husband and tell your kin about your travels. Your medallion will carry our blessing and will show proof to those willing to listen. You will travel east where the Sun will guide you to your new home. Spread the word of the weave. Share in its love and let your spirits grow evercloser. When humanity will have learned, we will speak once more. Until then, we will be watching... - Wait! Where are you going? And so... in a flash, they found themselved awaken right after they were wisped away... The wizard rushed to the main hall before the disaster could occur. He orders the guards to apprehend the one responsible and checks the crystal. It was indeed tampered with. The experiment is reset and years of work had to be redone. Word travelled fast however and hearing about what forces the king was toying with, civil war erupted. It is also believed that the experiment was ordered by the king to use it as a weapon against the neighbouring kingdom since war has already broken out. The crystal is never rebuilt again and the wizards are forced to gather watever they could carry and flee into exile while the city streets erupted into chaos. In a different time, the woman awakens in her bed and the wedding did indeed take palce the next day. She proceed to share her story as visions started appearing in eveveryone's dreams. Some refused to believe, but enough were convinced to start travelling east. Guided by her faith and the weave itself, villagers finally arrive safely in new and fertile land. A new home is quickly set up and worship became the main focus. In this timeline, work immediately began on finding ways to communicate with nature and the power of the weave. Instead of harnessing it, they learned to live in harmony. Word has spread of this religion and many converted. Her son became an important figurehead of this new effort and many of the old lands had been reclaimed in time. A rival kingdom worshipping the old gods was rumoured to have been the cause of these disasters in the first place. In their eyes, the weave is nothing but a toy to be used by the strong and worthy. Dark days still lie ahead, but the final journey is still not complete as long as humanity will refuse to listen to their own heart. In their final moments, the Gods revealed themselves once more to our heroes to give comfort and guide them to their eternal resting place after they borught about a new age and started a new journey for the rest of us to follow.
