“If you are as intelligent as you seem, then you have come to understand which God I give service to. It would be best to keep this place unknown if you understand?” He didn’t enforce the request with hypnotism, because there would be time for that later if Pandaemus returned alive.
“As for your Religion? No Pandaemus, I was unaware of your choices...” Rubik said almost idly, but ‘Though not anymore’ hung tensely in the air. The priest laughed to dispel the situation, “What I ask requires no betrayal at all. I am sorry for making you believe so, it was not my purpose. “ He tapped his staff in deep rhythmic thuds, this pattern slowly inspiring confidence into the apprentice as Rubik wove Djed through the sounds. “But, this will not be an easy task at all, it could be dangerous so I hesitate to send you so deep into the caverns. At the same time where there is danger there is the possibility of great success, that is surely something with Ovek’s touch.” Slowly the tapping of his staff tapered off into silence.
“These rumors of sentient golems need to be substantiated or dispelled is all I can say regarding why I need this information. Doing so might prove useful to you in the future Pandaemus.” He shrugged, it was complete conjecture on his part. “So Apprentice will you do this old Nuit the favor of looking into it?”
One of the cloaked figures returned. With a Ghost’s silence the slender bony hand held out a wax-sealed scroll to Rubik. He accepted the missive and smiled at the servant. With a pat on the figure’s arm he placed it within his own robe’s pockets. The stranger disappeared just as quietly. “I believe this missive marks the end of our time for now Pandaemus. I recognize the seal and I will be bound to comply since you are Cid’s apprentice if it says for you to return to your duties. So what do you say?”
