Night 15: In the Amedio Jungle
Minmorc's question is a good one, and leaves the little priest puzzling over the exact nature of the prophecy, trying to decide if it was an instruction or warning. He mutters the words to himself once more as he considers carefully ...
"Der golden god wiv der wun green eye
Stands in der darkness, waitin'.
Der golden god wiv der two green eyes
Comes forth tah rule der world.
Der eye iz lost, terror rules all."
That, by Bargrivyek's graces the tribe has cleverly found the golden god with one 'green eye', is only right and proper. But should they take the eye, or look for a second 'green eye' and restore it to the statue ... which very much depends on whether that 'coming forth to rule the world' is metaphorical ... and whether taking an eye will result in 'terror ruling all' ...
"Gives me der minute, Ise mus' ask Bargrivyek 'bout dis."
On the whole, taking the gem does seem rather risky, but then the coin it might fetch is very tempting. As he ponders, Dregz looks at the ghost-demon in suspicion, very certain that it does not have the best interest of his tribe in mind, muttering what is undoubtedly a prayer to his god for guidance.
