Re: The Game: Chapter 02
In reply to Keef (msg # 476):
Who am I, who are the defilers, and why am I here?
Cassandra blinks at Zuriel, taken aback, then frowns at Giles.
"We've been over this, haven't we? My name is Cassandra," she flashes her innocent smile once more. "And I'm here for the same reason you are: to open the Vault and discover its secrets."
Chomper jumps into her lap, curling himself into a protective ball before nuzzling her leg gently with his forehead.
She grins at the animal before continuing.
"The Defilers, of course, is the name assumed by Veilspire's circle. When he was defeated, most people assumed the circle fell with him. And for the most part, they'd be right."
Cassie pets Chomper as best she can in her bindings.
"But then the Master came along. He knew all kinds of secrets, such as the location of this vault, and he started the most recent drive for fresh recruits. Time passed and here we are, sitting in a Feyic Vault buried beneath the circle's home."
She stops speaking, having said her piece, and speaks in a playful voice to Chomper.
"And they all lived happily ever after, didn't they boy? Didn't they? Yes, they did!"
