Jayna squeezed her hand around her ring. There was a greater power within it than there ever had been before, though she did not know the source of it. Some of it was still Ceran, though not all. Some of it seemed to have come from the prison realm, flowing into her ring when she had been there.

She looked over at Vila. “What do you want me to know?”

“We felt what you did,” Jinalt said. He looked over at her and pulled out his own piece of dragon stone. It looked to be shaped like a small ball. Though there were symbols marked on the surface of it, they were small enough that Jayna couldn’t even see what they were. Energy came from the ball, and as he traced his finger along the rim of it, that energy seemed to pulse. “Those who are connected to such things and who remain connected to such things recognize what you did. And we realize that something has begun to change.”

“Change how?”

“It has begun to… change. We aren’t quite certain how.”

“So you decided to call me out here in the middle of the forest, so that I could do what? Help you?” She shook her head. “You know about this power, so I’m not going to keep anything from you. I was given a ring by a man named Ceran and was led to believe he was what was called a Sul’toral, and I was told he served Sarenoth.”

“Did he lead you to believe that?”

“Well…” Jayna frowned as she started to think about it. She knew the truth of that, and it had never come from Ceran, who had simply given her a ring saying that she could serve a greater power to fight dark magic. “No,” she said. “He didn’t say that I served Sarenoth. He simply said that I served a greater power. But when I was using the ring, I knew a greater power was connected to it.”

“He would not have claimed that you served Sarenoth,” she said. “As there were an initial twelve. And beyond those twelve, there were others who chased a different sort of power but were not able to find it.”

“All I know about is the Sul’toral and how they draw upon the power of Sarenoth.”

“But what you know about Sarenoth is probably wrong,” she said. “Most believe Sarenoth is some dark god, whereas that could not be further from the truth. Sarenoth was not a god, but he was a magical being. Much like other magical beings who exist in the world, he was not bad or good. He simply was. It was how that power was taken that had changed.”

“The festival,” Jayna said. She looked over and winced. “That’s what you’re saying, right?” She hadn’t seen a festival of mourn in quite some time but didn’t know that there were still festivals taking place, as dark power still existed in the world.

“If you want to call it a festival, then you may if it makes it easier for you to conceptualize.
