Vikstone's War JournalOrfus was already standing when I reached the top of the lift. He didn’t ask what happened.
“Return to Elder Atuik at Kamagua. He and the rest of my people must be warned of this impending doom that approaches from the sea.”
One of Kamagua’s strongest warriors, and the thought of what was coming made him shiver.
“Use the Ancient Lift to reach him. Please hurry!”
The lift descended through fog that felt different now. Windan’s warning echoed in my memory: Beware the mist and fog, mortals; for with them comes your end.
Elder Atuik waited in Kamagua’s central building. He listened as I recounted everything: the graves, the artifacts, the revenants who attacked even as their possessions were returned. The warnings that came too late.
When I finished, he was silent for a long moment. Then he rose and began to speak as though addressing a council, not one warrior.
“The Kalu’ak thank you for all that you have done. We must now prepare for battle and warn our brothers and sisters across the sea of what is to come.”
He looked toward the water, toward the fog banks gathering on the horizon.
“I hope it is not too late…”
