Whether or not Vasily uses the
Fate dice Fiora just gave him, he does remember the odd notation on a page, mention of an obscure fact told in a hushed whisper, something seen momentarily...
He's seeing and hearing those things again!
The Notation: The Setine Project. This was the name given to the project that studied the first Syrneth, which was an unearthed hollow-boned humanoid body that had been dug up by the boga herd. The body had an otherwise unidentifiable animalistic head which the long-forgotten author equated to the Egyptian deity Set's 'animal'.
The Hushed Whisper: The Syrne. The islands where the many different ancient species were subsequently discovered, thus lending the name to the overall creatures. The Dragons. The Insects. The Birds. The Humans.
The Momentary Glimpse: An echo out of time. If there hadn't been an actual physical manifestation, Vasily never would have seen it!
Fiora is suddenly thrown to the floor!
There is now an 8-foot tall stocky creature standing there amid everyone! Although it has a humanoid torso, the head is more animal-like, with the elongated face/snout/jaw curving downward, the two strange nub/horns on the forehead, and the large orange eyes that seem to flash with angered intelligence.
Fiora senses that something beyond the obvious has changed within the monastery. The
Fate she gave to Vasily shouldn't have, couldn't have done this. There is no strand connecting the Black Pearl to it. Nor is Alessandra's Fate changed. Yet.
There's a resonance... a temporal echo... within this monastery now that's woven everyone's
Fate together in an intricate Weave of Possibilities.
