Was that possible? She wanted to believe that it was true. And, without any other direction to go in, with this sign almost seeming too good to be true, she had to accept that this kind of crazy coincidence could only happen if it was all part of the plan. Gabriela put her faith in Corella and in the Gods, even if she couldn't put her faith in Kyne.

"Have you heard of the Notes of Cain?" Kyne asks her.

As they begin their journey east, he tells his story. About the journals that had been recovered from Cain's land, about the expedition from Hendrake to recover it. They talk about the adventurers who had been sent there, but most of the stories only talk about the ones who had made it back alive. There were official reports on what had happened but it was difficult to access those reports.

Kyne seemed to know a lot about what had happened but it was unclear how much had come from official reports or whether some of that had just been from rumors. Still, it was a good story, and Gabriela didn't hate listening to it. It was a good way to pass the time over a long journey to the east. There... in the east... would she find the Gods at last...?

Had the heroes of Cain's story found the Gods, too? Perhaps she could learn something from following in their footsteps.

Gabriela began to have strange dreams after they left the shrine. She saw Champions, but they were unlike any she knew from the war or those she had heard of in legends. They didn't fight for humans, nor for the forces of the primordial rot, either, but Gabriela saw that they brought lots of death with them. The world was burning and it almost felt like the age of heroes had come to an end... no... it was more like the age of humans was coming to an end.

All she could do was wonder how this situation was going to be turned around, and how humans would defeat those Champions, but she never got to see in her dreams exactly how it all ended. She kept waking up before receiving any answers. When she told Kyne about it, he had some strange things to say.

"You're dreaming of the future, not the past," Kyne tells her. "But don't worry. You'll see the past and the present as well. That's just how these things go."

"That's the future?" Gabriela was mildly alarmed. "How could you know that?"

Perhaps, though, this was why she needed to find the Gods. In order to battle these Champions, new Heroes were going to be needed. The importance of another Divine Intervention was obvious to her now.

Kyne smiles. "You're on a religious quest, aren't you?" He says. "I suppose visions of the future are just part of that." The way he says that almost seems cruel and sarcastic but once again it's hard to read too much into it from his facial expressions alone. And since he always comes across as dismissive and pretentious it can be difficult to tell if he's acting that way toward her dreams of if that's his natural tone of voice coloring his words which otherwise have no meaning.

It wasn't long before they spoke of Zephyr's meeting with the God of Magic. Gabriela, at that time, was too disturbed to even think about how Kyne could have heard of such a thing. It must not have been in any report about the events on Cain's lands, and yet because it was a natural conclusion to the story she accepted that it made sense as a way for the story to end.

Or, rather, the story wasn't over yet. And THAT story was still happening... right now...

Gabriela shuddered. "What happened in the end?"
