Shullat: Awakening

Al'tyr, why have you forsaken me?

How long have I been here?

So close. I was so close to success, now this.

Men. There are men. Looking. Not looking. Pretending I'm not here. Studying me.

Darkness. How long have I been here?

Light. A reminder of the might of Al'tyr. Men. Staring at me. I want to roar at them, but I can't.

Darkness. Forgotten again.

A booming roar. The voice of a dragon.

Light. The light of Al'tyr. Champions of Al'tyr.

The dragon is tiny. How long have I been here? What has become of them?

Have they come to free me?

The tiny dragon breathes cracks in my prison. Perhaps.

No. They leave. Darkness again. Al'tyr knows no mercy for failure.

Darkness. How long have I been here? I am lost again.

A voice in the darkness. A light, so dim. A light that I know.

Al'tyr has remembered me.

He says that I am... forgiven?

This is not the voice of Al'tyr the merciless, but it is his light.

He says he is Al'tyr. He says he is Pelor. He says I must aid the others.

Which others?

My prison shatters. I am free.

But where am I? How long have I been kept prisoner?

Has the aboleth already won?

I must find my squadron. I pray it's not too late.
