If there were no more travellers, there would be no more chaos from Fell, and there would be no more reason to kill. No...they'd always find reasons to kill, but this would be a reason anymore. It'd be one step closer to a better life at least right? It would mean the Arkmast wouldn't need to continue to train children to guard different areas of Fell. It was a good dream really, it would be nice, he'd have no idea what to do with himself, but he'd never have to put an arrow into a person who's only crime was wandering into Fell.
"Arrows kill all, there is not a person that hasn't died from them. I do not care where you came from, but you cannot go into Fell." This woman was infuriating, had she never heard of the curse of Fell then? "An hour ahead is where the magic of Fell begins. It will infect you immediately...the moment you cross the threshold you become infected. Your magic is uncontrollable, it no longer acts as you want. People around you go mad, animals become rabid, and any mage you come in contact with gains it as well. Fell was destroyed by this cursed magic, and if it spreads, the world could once more be plunged into chaotic darkness. As an Arkmast I swear this to you, if you wish to continue, I will kill you, whether it is before you reach Fell, or after you leave Fell." There was such a serious tone to his voice, his expression held no hint of jocularity to it.
This was a serious matter.
"I do not know everything about the isle of Necromancy, and those that live there, but even you people are affected by the curse. It is real, very real, it is why I was born and trained, so please do not think that this is a lie to scare you. It is a very true threat." It would be a shame if this girl was to die by his hand. She would at least be able to tell him more about the isle of Necromancy that she came from.
"At my camp...I have some books. One details Fell's curse...if you were to read about it, with first hand accounts from my people, would that help?" After all, she just had his word, and he could be lying or telling her whatever he wanted. OF course, there were few reasons for him to actually do so but...that was a whole different matter. The book may not help convince her, but it had good accounts to it, and it would hopefully stop her from wanting to venture any further.
