A Rising Resistance and a Falling Empire

@NyantaStarhunt  
another bow and the viper makes his way in.
 
in this largely mammalian populated city she should not be too ahrd to find.

@Cerebrate  
like almost as soon as you enter you see the cobra lady praying to an altar off in the corner of the room

@Cerebrate  
she speaks softly in…snake language?
 
Another cold blooded walker. It is good to see another of my kin

@NyantaStarhunt  
“parseltongue”{i am quite glad to have found another of my kind as well, but i fear much more unpleasant business brings me here.}

@Cerebrate  
she stands and straightens her outfit i can sense a darkness with your words you seek information. Information i hope to give

@NyantaStarhunt  
{a goddess claiming primordiality is the drive of the rebel leader, we fear the plans of these people include the unleashing of a terrible ancient evil, by the name of Jinlix.}

@Cerebrate  
as you say the name her face dons the look as if you had bitten and injected venom into her
 
her hood flairs softly you are certain this rebel leader said Jinlix? She is the Goddess of Choas, Death and Unholy destruction

@NyantaStarhunt  
“i have not a shred of doubt about the name.”

@Cerebrate  
(I swear Jinx had nothing to do with the naming hahah)
 
Come with me friend.

@NyantaStarhunt  
he follows her.

@Cerebrate  
zhe leads him to the back area of the library of books and tooms
 
Here on the black pedestal in the back isna book

@NyantaStarhunt  
“… probably not a good time to mention that i know only serpent script and military stenography.”

@Cerebrate  
she chuckles softly I can translate for you then.
 
she opens the toom and begins to loon through it until finding page
 
Ah yes. If what you say is true and the Rebel is in fact after this Goddess. Then your mission becomes more eurgent.
 
Jinlix was deafeted by the elder gods and the help of a mortal 7 thousand years ago. The mortal was a human named Argen. He had broken her spirit and spilt it into pieces.
 
I assume your leader is trying to reconnect them

@NyantaStarhunt  
“any mention of the number… or the locations? because i suddenly have this bad feeling that there’s been something specific in a small hamlet’s mine they were after.”

@Cerebrate  
What was the name of your hamlet. And their are 8 pieces

@NyantaStarhunt  
“the town was named Liqu. it was attacked under a false imperial flag and the mine underneath was plundered.”

@Cerebrate  
Liqu is in fact rumored to have it ues however it was most likely not in that mine. It says that it was in a cyrpt deep underground

@NyantaStarhunt  
“a place you could dig into, perchance?”

@Cerebrate  
I am sure with the right equipment my dear you could achieve that. Explsoives could also work if you were reckless.

@NyantaStarhunt  
“and who would notice that in the middle of a raging battle…”

@Cerebrate  
she hisses softly and nods Shall I send word to the Office of intelligence? The last one is located here in the city. And if the rebel is so determined she may have all the others

@NyantaStarhunt  
“please tell me the underground of the city has no connection at all to whichever tomb this last fragment is in.”

@Cerebrate  
No as long as they don’t get into the upper city limits. The two cities have different piping and sewage ways

@NyantaStarhunt  
hmm, that would explain why she brought an army in, she needs one to at least briefly gain control of the city and crack open that tomb… this needs to be brought to the emperor’s attention.”
