NOVEL SIMPLE SSD 4.13A - Authority
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake:
12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
1 Kings 19 – King James Bible
==Caden==
Some Adar come into the dungeon an just dropped a book into my altar.
The book, blazing with power to my mana sight fell into the bowl, triggering a prompt which I immediately opened.
Would you like to absorb:
Skill Book: Merchant Tongue (Northern Hemisphere: West)
Potential Skill Level: 10
Yes? No?
I didn’t hesitate for a moment after I read the title. I was finally going to learn how to talk to people properly.
Finally, I had an opportunity to learn the language. Who would have guessed that someone would just bring something that would teach it to me?
Honestly, if I had known I probably would have invested a lot of my attention elsewhere.
Oh well, not like I could do anything about it now.
The language washed over me in waves, each one drawing me deeper and deeper into a new world. A world of language and connections.
Time passed without notice, my whole world a torrent of knowledge.
Somewhere along the way I felt a brief instinctive acceptance and another language began to seep into my brain, the language of the Adar.
It was a language of secrets, the whole language built upon cyphers and changing context clues.
For a time, which I couldn’t measure, the whole world was lost to me.
Eventually I woke up, the insistent pinging of the system doing its best to play percussion in my head.
Congratulations!
You now have the skills:
Merchant Tongue (Northern Hemisphere: West) IX (Language)
Adar Cant IX (Language)
Congratulations, you have unlocked an accomplishment!
