Flow of the Balance/Archives of December 2006/The Callings
Nightfall.
In a tranquil corner of the city of Krimml where the air is not disrupted by the shoutings and singings from the local taverns, Lilith met Edward.
"My friend," Lilith said, "it has been long for us two to share a decent talk again," Lilith halted her words for a brief moment. "And the time is finally about to come."
Lilith continued. "The Balance has called, through my figuriin, and through the Facies you hold faith in. There is nothing more that need to be stated."
"But, how shall we do to bring it forth, m'lady? The people have never been made known, all the while false beliefs are running around..." Edward, bewildered.
"Nor do I know, my firend." Lilith settled her eyes onto a little-surprised Edward. "Yet the Flow will reveal itself. It has always been, and it will always be."
"But Quantim asked me to..."
"Yes. To come to me."
"Indeed... But what shall it be for?"
"To have this talk, and the following talks, of course." Lilith smiled. "Come, my friend. There are so much to be discussed. Why not let us go to my Mansion and continue it?"
"Wasn't your Mansion in Greatbridge, m'lady?"
"That is the Lord's Mansion, my friend. The Mansion of the Minister of Finances is right here in Krimml."
"Oh... I don't know there is such..."
"Then now you know it."
The sounds faded and the figures continued to move down the street, until merged into one, then devoured by darkness.
Dawn.
"Thanks... m'lady. Those instructions were of the most valuable." Edward bowed slightly to Lilith, who was already on the horseback. "I shall wait for the arrival of the Descension Flow."
"And I shall part from you for the moment again, my friend, to meet the callings of the Flow," Lilith said. "Just remember... the Greatbridge is the Bridge that intersects all Flow, the Bridge that links all Flow, the Bridge of the Greatest that leads to all Flow. There will be no other places but the Greatbridge."
"Aye, m'lady. May the Flow show we the Path."
Lilith smiled, did not reply in words, and departed on the horse until out of Edward's sight.
