Esther approaches you with a warm smile.
Mattieu’s doing just fine, thanks to you. He’s resting and taking it easy. He did write this out to you, though. Said he wanted to give you the information while it was still fresh in his mind. He doesn’t think it will help, but there’s got to be a genuine lead in here, right?
“Dear friend,
I want to do whatever I can to help you as you’ve helped me, but I find it hard to write a coherent thought. It’s as if my memories are being pulled out of my mind. This was something that the other victims discussed feeling after their possessions, so after you freed me, I knew I had to write down anything I could. Unfortunately, what I wrote no longer makes sense to me.
“Hard to see, can make out vague shape. Human? Glowing,” “Shadowglen, twisting trees,” “The floating market in Shengui Guo,” “Pillars in the desert,” “Dark cave, filled with magic,” “Firey aura, but it’s so cold,” “Broken swords, broken spirit. Punishment. Anger.”
I can’t say if those locations are important to the being or if they’re scouting for potential targets. I can’t say whether ANY of this is helpful. It’s all so terribly frustrating. Before I go, there is a final matter. When I was broken from my trance, this Possessed Pearl Cameo fell from my hand. The creature I created immediately fled, but I believe this can summon it. Please, don’t let it roam free.”
