The Chronicles of Ulth'Wakai

Chapter 2

I left the pendant untouched for several weeks before I realized I had kept it in my strongbox. I was about to throw the pendant away when I felt the faint magic again. As a mage if you are one you can understand why I didn’t throw away the pendant but if you aren’t one then the best reason I can give you is curiosity, an insatiable curiosity to understand the magic in the pendant kept me from throwing it away and afterwards when I looked back upon my life in the circle I thanked all my stars that I didn’t throw it away for had I done so I would never have found the Fade Citadel and the many majestic glories that I found within it. I spent countless days trying my best, using every resource at my disposal to try and understand the magic in the pendant. Sadly I could not and soon found myself persuading the other enchanters to help me and most thought me mad for pursuing something like this. My obsession with the pendant led to dereliction of my duties as a senior enchanter for many weeks and I was called by the First Enchanter Morgan Harivar to justify my actions. At that time I was wreck of nerves and couldn’t justify my actions to the First Enchanter so he thoroughly chided me for my meaningless obsession with the pendant. Even he couldn’t feel the magic emanating from it and we had a rather heated debate on the matter. Finally he got tired and took the pendant from me and tried to disintegrate it, what happened after that I couldn’t remember for the last thing I saw before fainting was a flash of light.
