Mystery of the Great Marsh

iv. Mystery of the Great Marsh

On your way to Unknown Falls and the barren southeast, the mystery of the Great Marsh still troubles you. You realize that the entrance to Limbo is a dimensional hole just underneath the Weeping Oaken Tree. What puzzles you is how to create a human bradyzoite. Maybe when Governor Number One wanted to start the project, they dragged a human out of Limbo, which corrupted his soul or something. You're not entirely sure what a human bradyzoite even does.

You arrive at Unknown Falls. The massive waterfall is incredibly quiet for such a huge torrential downpour. The only life found in the lake below are Giant Squid, indicating that the water pressure within the lake is extremely high. And most of these monstrocities are usually on the surface. Maybe the air pressure above the lake is incredibly high, compressing the water until it can sustain life that's only found at the bottom of the ocean. But you don't want to find out. Unknown Falls is incredibly ominous and creepy, even for you. You only know about the squid because you can see them from the cliff you're on. Suddenly, you see people with pickaxes. They're mining in the cliff wall below you, which seems incredibly risky to you, given the high pressure theory you just came up with. You make your way down to the general area, where you see a cave. Upon entering, a man greets you.

"Hello. You would be Kerragan, I presume."

"No. Just a wandering traveler."

"Nah. It's definitely Kerragan."

"I don't know your nationality sir, but where I come from, deciding what a person has on their mind when that person already knows is considered rude. I'm just a wandering traveler, and that's what I expect myself to remember, not you."

"You must not remember me. I'm Ulysses Paragi, head of the Government of Ibiksis Island."

"Ulysees? So what are you doing here with the Seraph Territories and Refeaël?"

"Your spies are either getting rusty, or we're just getting better at concealing our information for your espionage. This is a three-nation endeavour."

Your spies are getting rusty? You make a mental note of this.

"Oh. Well, as you already know, I am indeed Kerragan. Out of curiosity, have you lost anyone to the giant squid down there?"

"A few men. All of them convicts."

"Oh, right. Your country doesn't hold in respect for anyone who's already been in prison. We could use that kind of social mentality in Lavu."

"So, what did you come here for?"

"We have a rather large problem. We were curious about that dimension that the Seraph Territories have found as of late."

"It was a dimension they named Anzé. I think they kept it hidden from Lavu for various reasons. Anzé is a dimension that harnesses two dimensional elements, not one, so the scientific value of Anzé is pretty large."
