Episode 220: What Happened in Dunnorm, Part 15

……

……

The Spirit of the earth stops looking at me and my eyes meet.

But the spirits of the earth don't talk about anything, and I don't know what to do, and silence flows.

What should I do?

"... Master Hal, you've grown up"

When I thought the Spirit of the earth had opened his mouth, I ran about something I hadn't expected.

And the people around me look stunned.

No, I'm surprised, too.

"What!? Do you know me?

"Yes. A long time ago... should I say... When you're little... Sorry I'm late to say hello. We can't leave the sanctuary without a covenant… it's up to you to come this time and feel the signs."

That's what the spirits of the earth bow their heads to me.

"No, no, keep your head up! I can't believe you asked the Spirit to bow his head!!

"No, because thanks to your parents, Master Faran and Master Lara, there is our Spirit now..."

The Spirit of the earth mouths the Word with his head bowed.

"Keep your head up! And you know my parents?

"Yes, I know you."

The Spirit of the earth lifted his head when he said so.

"... what relationship did you have with my parents? And my parents..."

'How was the last time? What happened?

And I stopped inside myself trying to connect words.

I want to ask, but I'm afraid to ask.

I should be accepting the death of my parents, but I'm confused to hear it as a word again.

"… We have heard that the story around it will be spoken by our superior Spirit, the Spirit of Light, so we will guide you to the Folkrest sooner or later. I mean Orihalcon for now, so why don't they go there?

The Spirit of the earth changed my mind.

"... right. Thank you. Spirit of the earth."

"No, and please call me Norm. I can't all the time, but I can represent you through the lat for a little while, so please call me if you need me. … Now it's time for you to excuse me"

When I said that, Norm disappeared.
