The Unfated Wanderers Canto 8
Returned and resting in Shatterbone, Vilerend and Billet regaled Tong with the tale of their travels. He worried at news of another giant. He agreed that the deeds of the Stormcraft Cult were also troubling. He would send word to the members of the Learned Scholars of Icebrunt. There were wizards and witches within the group that needed to know about this development.
Tong told them, “I translated the rubbing that you acquired from Sunny Cloudgrass. The tablet seems strangely relevant to what is happening in Icebrunt. I think that the tablet is a prophecy.”
“Our friend Unbe studies Fate. He has this idea that everybody has a Fate, that we are predestined to do certain things. He thinks that there are objects created in the past that will be needed in the future. These things have no reason to exist when they were created. But someone was Fated to make them so that they would be here when needed. He doesn’t think that prophecies are coincidence. There is no reason for these things to exist in the past. Like the Hammer of Souls tablet. Why did someone make it hundreds of years ago? Nobody needed it until when we freed the dragon, Soul Slicer.”
“I could use your help deciphering the rest of the tablet. I recognize several things from it. I actually have some materials here that can help us.”
