[43.9s] How are things going over at the school?
[45.6s] I know I've kind of had my own stuff going on.
[48.8s] And are the kids doing good?
[51.4s] Yeah, they seem to be doing OK.
[53.2s] Your mom's saying that they're, you know, most of them are sleeping
[56.2s] through the night again.
[57.4s] We're trying to get trying to outfit the school.
[59.8s] It's not a school anymore.
[61.4s] So, you know, trying to outfit it as
[64.2s] more of like a like a dormitory, a exactly like a more formal orphanage.
[71.0s] I don't know where all these kids keep coming from, but
[75.1s] they're here. Yeah.
[76.3s] So we might as well try and.
[78.4s] Yeah, we got to take care of them as best we can.
[80.2s] And I know, like all the all the folks from from the Lakeside community,
[84.7s] I've heard are just helping so much.

[93.0s] And we'll we'll get some went from 40 kids to a thousand.
[96.4s] Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
[98.1s] That was just a hyperbole.
[99.9s] There's not actually a thousand kids.
[103.6s] There's at least a hundred of them in that school now.
[105.8s] So, yeah, yeah.
[107.6s] And I heard now that June's not having to do like the day to day,
[111.9s] she's like teaching some classes and stuff and we're getting them all reading.
[116.1s] And like that's the school's been closed for so long.
[120.3s] It's so makes me so happy that.
[124.2s] Yeah, these kids are like getting fed and housed.
[128.6s] And we're not, you know.
[132.2s] It doesn't matter what's going on on the other side of the river.
[134.8s] Like we're taking care of our own.
[137.1s] That's right. And we just need to keep them out of our business.
[140.9s] You know, just hide, hide the books, I guess.
[144.6s] Yeah, that's what I hear they do anyways.
[147.2s] And he gets he's continuing working on.
[149.4s] I assume we're like sawing and hammering and.
[154.3s] This whole. Forge thing is just like.
[160.0s] I feel like I should know.
[164.6s] Like how how to help you in this, but.
[167.9s] Yeah, I don't know.
[168.9s] Maybe it's been too long and I just it's it's gone.
[172.4s] So I'm sorry. Yeah, it's just a blank.
[174.3s] Like I tried all the normal things and nothing's working and it's frustrating.
[180.3s] But also, Dad, it's kind of scary.
[182.8s] Like what's going on?
[186.0s] I don't know. Are you are you OK?
[188.4s] Yeah, I'm OK. Like we.
[191.2s] Yeah, I've seen some things, but I'm OK.
[195.8s] Well, I mean, I'm not going to push, like you never have.
[200.6s] But if you feel like you need to talk to get some things off your chest,
[203.7s] like I'm here, your mom's here, like.
[207.1s] Thanks, Dad. Sounds sounds like.
[211.1s] That there was some real weird stuff going on.
[214.0s] And yeah, some real weird stuff.
[216.4s] And somebody got left behind and.
[219.8s] Yeah, we got the kids out, but.
[222.9s] It's just been a hard few months, you know,
[225.8s] pirates, monsters.
[228.2s] Disappeared for three weeks to a scary place.
[232.1s] Kind of a weird year.

[291.6s] We zip over to the Brewed Awakening and Kav,
[296.0s] you're just walking in with your two guards in tow.
[300.9s] Bench sees you come up and says, Kav, can I get you anything?
[305.1s] How about your entourage?
[306.9s] Oh, that's not his voice.
[308.7s] It's more back here.
[311.1s] Yeah. Can I get you anything?
[313.2s] Yeah, yeah, there it is.
[315.9s] Nothing for me today, but whatever the gentleman want.
[318.6s] You go ahead and greet him on me.
[321.5s] Well, we are on the job.
[323.8s] Just a couple of waters, please.
[326.4s] Come on, you guys are so lame.
[328.7s] Just have a drink. What's it going to cost you?
[331.2s] It's OK. You go have a seat here.
[334.9s] Maybe get a drink.
[336.6s] No, can't encourage that.
[340.2s] We'll just get some wings.
[341.4s] It's a good choice.
[342.4s] They do great wings here.
[344.0s] Better on wing night, you guys probably never been here for wing night.
[348.9s] He sends the order back and comes up to you, Kav, and says,
[352.8s] so, did you get your job back yet?
[356.4s] They still got the people following you around.
[358.6s] Have they, like, what's happening?
[361.5s] You know, not much happening on that front.
[365.4s] Seems I'm kind of just.
[367.3s] Look, the wheels of justice turn slowly, they told me.
[370.6s] So I guess I have a little bit of time to kill
[373.5s] before that kind of gets rampant up.
[377.6s] But no, no, no job.
[378.9s] Yeah, no, that's that's fair.
[380.5s] Well, OK, let me rephrase. I'm suspended with pay.
[384.6s] I was just going to ask, I was like, well, hold on, this is.
[387.0s] I am a government employee.
[388.4s] So, like, you're not working, but you are still getting paid.
[391.8s] That's how he's able to treat the guards to.
[394.2s] I'm on leave.
[395.7s] Yeah, administrative leave.
[400.6s] OK, well, I was going to say, if you need a need a job,
[402.7s] need some extra money, like, but if you've got you covered,
[404.9s] then that's that's great until they figure out, you know,
[407.6s] which jail they're going to put you in, I guess.
[409.5s] Yeah, I guess I might take up on that job, though.
[412.0s] I've got some free time, so.
[414.2s] Yeah, absolutely.
[415.6s] And you come with bouncers, too.
[417.2s] So it's like three for one.
[419.1s] Well, I think once they see that I'm, like, not a threat to run,
[422.4s] that they'll back off a little bit.
[425.0s] Right, guys? No, we won't.
[427.0s] Eh? No.
[429.8s] They're just shaking their heads in the corner.
[431.2s] You'll run the second you turn your backs.
[434.2s] I'll run you.
[436.4s] How fast do you think he can run?
[438.5s] Oh, I mean, you've seen me run, not very.
[440.6s] That's why we wear the full armor, so we can still catch him.
[444.8s] It's fine.
[446.5s] She's got the bow low.
[449.0s] Oh, yeah, no, they just do nothing but sweat in full armor all day.
[452.5s] I walk around town doing nothing.
[455.2s] He's sitting out on the patio at those buns.
[458.1s] Yeah, hanging out at them buns, though.
[460.2s] I'm at the weird sister potion shop.
[462.3s] Whatever.
[463.8s] Some time passes and, you know, you get some snacks
[466.5s] and you're chatting with Bench and then door opens
[469.2s] and there's a here's some footsteps.
[471.4s] But people have been coming and going.
[473.4s] There's a little tap on your shoulder.
[476.7s] Excuse me. Are you Kavlaran Goldweed?
[479.8s] Yes, that is I, one and the same.
[482.0s] Pleasure to meet you.
[483.2s] What would your name be?
[484.3s] Alfonso. It's a pleasure to meet you.
[486.0s] Ribeiro? I've heard of you.
[491.0s] I heard you're a really good dancer.
[493.7s] I try and go incognito.
[495.5s] Good dancer.
[499.6s] But no, I've just come to tell you that your court date has been set.
[504.4s] Seems very timely.
[505.5s] I was just telling my friend that I was told it was going to be a little while.
[510.0s] Oh, well, it has been some time as you've been, you know,
[515.2s] charged and then you were gone.
[517.3s] But then you came back and now you're here.
[519.8s] So your date's going to be in two weeks to the day.
[524.4s] OK, sounds good.
[525.7s] Do you have anybody to act as your lawyer?
[530.9s] Geneal, I'm a lawyer.
[532.9s] I mean, yeah, I mean, my good friend here.
[536.1s] Oh, Carla's new character.
[537.3s] Bit of a dream team for a little while here.
[539.6s] So it'll probably be them.
[543.3s] So defending yourself.
[544.6s] I'm sorry.
[547.1s] Are you taking self-defense or would you like an appointed attorney?
[550.8s] I mean, I've taken some self-defense classes,
[554.0s] but in this case, no, I will I will go for the attorney.
[557.6s] Of course.
[558.2s] Yes, we'll make sure to set you up with somebody
[561.4s] who's well versed in your specific situation.
[565.8s] All right.
[566.4s] So, yes, two weeks at the courthouse.
[568.3s] What kind of law do you do?
[570.5s] Like real estate, mostly.
[573.4s] Real estate.
[574.6s] Yeah, OK.
[575.1s] What kind of crime do you do?
[576.8s] Yep, that sounds great.
[577.9s] So not the real estate lawyer.
[579.3s] Perfect.
[580.2s] So, yeah, two weeks to the date at the courthouse.
[582.6s] Bring your attorney will be there ready to meet you.
[586.2s] I don't even get to meet them before our first court date.
[589.1s] Oh, they've been full.
[589.9s] They will be fully, fully briefed on your legal objection.
[594.9s] You may meet them the day before if you wish.
[596.9s] I would very much like that.
[598.4s] I have some things to tell them.
[601.2s] All right.
[601.9s] Well, we'll make sure that that's done.
[603.7s] Once you have your appointment, we'll send you a letter to
[606.6s] are you still staying at the divorced dad's hotel?
[611.4s] Yes, actually.
[612.2s] And it's the suites this time.
[614.7s] Oh, the suites.
[615.4s] That's why I live there, too.
[617.1s] I know.
[617.7s] And never.
[619.2s] I know, I know.
[623.0s] OK, well, we'll make sure that's delivered to you.
[626.1s] Any other questions you have for me?
[631.8s] No, I guess just more of a statement that I'm innocent
[634.2s] and I didn't do it.
[635.2s] But we'll cover that later on.
[636.4s] I have no say in the hearing.
[638.5s] And he gives you the letter that he was reading off of
[641.2s] and he turns and goes to leave.
[643.3s] At least you have a court date now.
[645.0s] I mean, yeah, I don't know if that's good or bad.
[647.0s] That just means that, like, it's maybe a little sooner
[649.2s] than I thought it might be.
[650.0s] But that's fine.
[650.6s] It's fine, right?
[651.4s] It'll be fine.
[651.9s] It's good to get it out of the way.
[653.2s] And, you know, they're going to you're not guilty of anything.
[655.7s] So they're going to find you totally innocent.
[657.5s] And then you just got to go back to,
[659.6s] I don't know, you can work here.
[660.9s] You can work there.
[662.2s] Maybe, you know, maybe you just get a fishing boat
[665.7s] and take people out on boys cruises.
[668.2s] I mean, that's an option.
[669.5s] I am looking forward to them standing up
[671.7s] and saying that I'm totally innocent.
[674.6s] That is exactly the ruling I want.
[676.5s] That's probably not what's going to happen.
[678.3s] Niki innocent people go to jail all the time.
[681.6s] For real estate stuff?
[683.8s] For real estate.
[688.2s] Welcome to the middle, everybody.
[690.1s] Oh, I know what I wanted to talk about.
[691.8s] That's right.
[692.5s] Tell us.
[692.9s] We're figuring it out on the fly.
[694.5s] Excellent.
[695.0s] Tom and I are excited.
[696.6s] What I wanted to say was, hey, we're getting into summer
[699.9s] and our release schedule is going to be all over the place.
[703.1s] So just rip that band-aid off.
[705.8s] Yeah, just we're not going to do any false pretenses from,
[710.2s] I mean, you've already seen it from here on out
[712.9s] until September rolls back every couple of weeks,
[716.8s] might be on a Monday, might be on a Wednesday,
[720.4s] might be all the time.
[723.3s] Don't apologize.
[724.6s] And Jess is in the chat just apologizing.
[727.6s] I'm going to tell her not to apologize.
[729.6s] We've already warned you.
[731.0s] We've warned you.
[732.2s] And you love us.
[733.3s] And you want us to have a little bit of time off
[735.4s] in the summer.
[736.0s] That's right.
[737.0s] Yeah.
[738.2s] So we'll get you as many great stories
[740.8s] as we can on the regular Dumbgeons and Dragons feed.
[744.7s] But if you're out of them, if you're like, ah,
[746.8s] all caught up and they're doing weird summer stuff,
[749.3s] like going on road trips and things.
[752.3s] Weird.
[753.4s] You can come over to Patreon, patreon.com
[755.9s] or Dragoncast, where Tom runs a game.
[759.8s] What?
[760.6s] I play a cat who doesn't follow any of Tom's rules,
[765.4s] which are very few, very few.
[767.6s] So I have to really work hard to not follow the rules.
[771.1s] And I just encourage it.
[772.6s] I just, yes, and that shit till the cows come home.
[775.4s] It's wonderful.
[777.8s] Carla and Amy play the moral and logical reason,
[783.2s] reasoning factor.
[785.2s] And Russ is just chaos embodied
[787.8s] in a furry kitty cat body.
[790.2s] And Kyle's on the most recent season as well.
[793.1s] And it's really changing the dynamic in a fun way.
[796.6s] A wonderful foil to add into the mix.
[799.4s] Yeah, it's very good.
[799.8s] Sometimes when a show's been running for a while,
[804.4s] and we're talking like a regular running sitcom or drama,
[807.6s] and you're like, oh, they found a structure
[809.4s] and they're doing the thing.
[810.8s] And then they insert a new character.
[812.6s] Then Cousin Oliver shows up and the whole bet's off.
[816.1s] That's a very topical Brady Bunch.
[818.0s] Yeah, no kidding.
[819.5s] So I'm on fire with the topical references today.
[821.9s] Before all of us were alive.
[824.6s] All right, I'll fast forward like 30 years.
[827.3s] Poochie.
[828.2s] They introduced Poochie into the mix in Itchy and Scratchy.
[832.2s] Jess is shaking her head,
[833.4s] so I know I hit the mark with that one.
[835.2s] Nailed it.
[835.9s] Everybody gets it.
[837.1s] Everyone gets it.
[837.4s] Nobody has questions.
[839.4s] Except I feel like both of those made things bad
[842.7s] and gnashed salmon treats.
[844.6s] It just makes everything better.
[845.8s] Makes things wonderful.
[846.8s] So introduces a different dynamic in a good way,
[851.0s] not like Poochie, gosh.
[852.7s] And you can, yeah, there's so much audio over there.
[855.9s] You can be sick of us again in no time.
[858.6s] Absolutely.
[859.1s] Don't worry.
[860.2s] But also when you're a patron,
[862.2s] you get an episode dedicated to you.
[865.4s] Like today's patron, Rose.
[868.6s] Thanks, Rose.
[869.4s] Rose.
[869.9s] Thanks, Rose.
[871.0s] That's nice.
[872.9s] So great to have you here, Rose.
[875.0s] I mean, it's a shame you threw that diamond back into the sea.
[877.4s] Oh, my God.
[877.8s] I was thinking the same thing.
[879.1s] We need to update our references, Tom.
[881.8s] Holy shit.
[882.9s] I was like, yeah, Rose, Titanic.
[886.6s] What?
[888.7s] You know, that movie from 30 years ago.
[895.0s] Oh, no.
[897.0s] Time is awful and wonderful at the same time.
[900.6s] So if all of these references landed with you,
[904.4s] if even one of these references landed with you,
[907.5s] come sign up for a seven day free trial.
[909.4s] Or if none of them did,
[910.7s] because the earliest one was from like 1999.
[915.1s] Just come anyway.
[916.2s] Learn some more old people stuff.
[917.7s] It's fun.
[918.6s] You know, old people stuff is great.
[920.2s] We're cool and hip.
[921.0s] We're cool.
[921.6s] That's right.
[923.4s] But that's the end of the middle, friends.
[925.0s] And we'll get you back to the episode
[928.2s] where something fun is happening.
[929.8s] I'm sure of it.
[930.8s] Guaranteed.
[931.7s] Absolutely.
[933.0s] All right.
[933.5s] Love you all.
[934.2s] Bye.
[937.4s] We cut over to Bazaar'd and Mum's Marvels.
[940.5s] And Bazaar'd, you and Alydin are in the back
[943.8s] and you've been looking this book over
[947.3s] that you found down at the Everbanes.
[951.0s] And you've come across a couple interesting pieces.
[957.9s] Bazaar's just kind of scratching his head
[959.8s] and flipping through the pages and stops.
[965.0s] And he says, OK, so it's talking about bellows in this section.
[969.7s] It's not the bellows that awaken such flame,
[972.2s] but memory offered in pain.
[975.0s] An echo made physical.
[976.3s] The fire must know you.
[979.7s] How can a fire know you?
[983.0s] Oh, God, she doesn't have to light herself on fire, does she?
[985.6s] I wouldn't.
[986.6s] I wouldn't imagine.
[989.4s] I mean, that is an offering in, you know, in pain.
[993.3s] You cut off like a finger or something.
[997.0s] I mean, that's the most extreme route.
[999.5s] Yes, I wouldn't recommend or really condone it,
[1003.4s] but it's not the bellows that awaken such flame.
[1007.8s] So there's a thing in the margins here,
[1011.6s] except backlash if the forge has been dark for too long.
[1017.0s] Residual memory storms may manifest.
[1020.1s] What's a memory storm?
[1024.5s] How long is too long?
[1027.0s] Those are good questions, Alydin.
[1030.6s] I am not sure, but the idea of a residual memory,
[1037.4s] like a residue left over on somebody or something.
[1040.8s] Like a memory was taken away,
[1042.2s] but there's still like little bits of it.
[1044.2s] Yeah, or residual memory storms may manifest.
[1051.0s] Yeah, I think you might be on to something there.
[1055.4s] Let's see, it keeps flipping through the pages.
[1061.0s] We've been going through a lot.
[1062.3s] I know you're also kind of reading over your books.
[1064.8s] Do you have any questions about what we're doing
[1068.4s] or everything making sense on your end?
[1071.0s] No, nothing's making sense.
[1072.3s] Okay, I'm trying to make sense of it,
[1078.5s] but there's a page written in an arcane script.
[1086.4s] It looks like it's been magically redacted.
[1089.9s] Can you read these lines?
[1091.9s] They just show up as black lines for me instead of text.
[1096.2s] Like something's blocking it out.
[1097.8s] Does that look like that to you?
[1099.4s] I lift my eyepatch and I read it.
[1103.0s] It's as he describes it.
[1104.3s] It looks like there's portions of it
[1107.3s] that have been removed, redacted, covered in some way.
[1113.8s] No, it's all kind of blocked out there.
[1117.5s] The shiny eye is just as useless as my regular eye.
[1121.4s] I appreciate the double eye.
[1122.9s] I appreciate the second pair of eyes.
[1125.0s] You still gave it your all.
[1127.9s] So let's see.
[1129.6s] Is there a spell you can do on it to like take off a spell?
[1133.1s] Like an anti-spell spell?
[1135.3s] Yeah, there is dispel magic, but I'd have to double check.
[1139.9s] I don't believe I have that in my repertoire.
[1143.4s] They used to call it at the college.
[1147.0s] It's a spell book.
[1148.1s] Well, the margin here on this page says,
[1153.8s] too dangerous, too volatile, but if the line fails,
[1158.0s] the fire must live on, even if it is not ours.
[1162.1s] If the line fails, maybe Malon wrote this.
[1169.0s] Like the bloodline?
[1170.6s] Like her family?
[1171.8s] You're so clever.
[1173.0s] You are so clever.
[1174.7s] It is going to be so fun helping you learn magic.
[1179.7s] Oh, but yes, say the name out loud.
[1184.5s] Declare what the forge has meant or what she hopes to earn.
[1189.8s] Offer her something she does not want to part with.
[1193.4s] But didn't she try that though?
[1195.0s] She put her old dagger in there and your little fire buddies.
[1201.8s] But that was just one part of this section here.
[1205.6s] Perhaps it's a straight up instruction.
[1210.0s] Whose name does she have to say?
[1213.0s] Her own.
[1214.0s] Her own.
[1217.3s] If this was written in the hand of G-G-G-G-Grandma,
[1222.1s] then she would have written it from her perspective.
[1227.0s] So speak her name out loud.
[1230.1s] Declare what the forge has meant to her.
[1232.2s] This has got to be direct to her handwriting.
[1234.3s] And I'm going to try to recall in my memory.
[1238.5s] Does this handwriting look like the handwriting on the note
[1241.4s] that Bonwyn found?
[1243.8s] Yes, so the side notes in the margin.
[1246.4s] So the expect backlash if the forge that line.
[1249.7s] And then the too dangerous too volatile.
[1251.7s] Both of those lines look familiar
[1254.6s] based on the writing you saw in the journal entry.
[1256.7s] Okay, I believe these let this this here.
[1261.8s] This is the ritual that Bonwyn will need to do.
[1265.2s] I wonder in what Thane was saying that it went out
[1270.2s] not long before we got back.
[1272.2s] So hopefully that's not too long and it's been
[1276.4s] it's time still weird for you.
[1278.2s] Like I know days and nights are going
[1279.7s] but like it just doesn't feel right.
[1282.2s] I feel like we never left
[1284.2s] but also like it's been a really long time
[1288.2s] because like lots happening.
[1290.0s] Like did you see the school recently?
[1293.5s] That place almost looks like a school.
[1295.6s] It's really coming together.
[1299.0s] I'm glad to see the community you know
[1301.6s] grouping together and getting everyone taken care of.
[1305.1s] But yeah, I just haven't I don't know.
[1309.3s] Sleep has felt weird.
[1310.8s] Everything's felt off.
[1311.8s] But this could be dangerous to do.
[1314.2s] That's all we know.
[1317.5s] Does Bonwyn need to do the ritual?
[1321.1s] I would think so.
[1322.2s] But also does she do can she do the can she do magic?
[1326.8s] Like could anyone pick up a magic book and do magic?
[1331.7s] In this situation I think it being passed down in the way it is.
[1335.8s] It is a inherited sort of magic
[1341.4s] that has worked itself in.
[1342.6s] That's the only explanation I can think of
[1344.8s] because this is not this is not a spell.
[1347.8s] This is not learned magic.
[1349.0s] This is a ritual.
[1350.4s] And I mean even ritual spells that I have
[1353.0s] they are based off of a you know an arcane digitalized spell.
[1358.6s] So this is not that but it doesn't mean it can't have magical effects.
[1364.6s] Rituals hold power.
[1366.4s] With ritual there's faith.
[1368.2s] Faith is compelling to people.
[1370.1s] Well we should probably get this to her.
[1374.2s] Yeah and let's go have some faith in our friend.
[1377.2s] I believe they can do it.
[1379.8s] You both get up and start heading out
[1382.7s] and your your mom's there and she kind of.
[1386.8s] Bye again mom.
[1388.6s] She she waves and as you go to close the back.
[1394.2s] As you go to close the door to the back room.
[1396.2s] Bizarre a shimmering bit of light kind of catches your eye
[1404.4s] as like the door is shutting
[1405.7s] and then causes you to pause for a second and take a look back inside.
[1410.7s] And you look back into the room where you just were
[1414.3s] and as if from nowhere a spool of shimmering thread
[1420.9s] is hanging in midair in the back room.
[1429.9s] The light around it wavers like kind of like rainbow and ripples.
[1436.5s] I'm gonna go grab it.
[1438.2s] You take a few steps forward and it's like as you reach your hand out
[1442.6s] it's almost drawn to your hand and you grab it and there's a warmth to it.
[1450.0s] You look it over and it is exactly that.
[1455.1s] It's a a spool of thread.
[1459.4s] Pretty standard size looks like maybe you know about 60 feet probably all wrapped up.
[1466.0s] Okay.
[1467.3s] As you hold it you hear in your mind a soft hum in a language that you don't understand.
[1482.2s] Okay.
[1486.7s] Hey are we going or what?
[1487.9s] Oh um yeah yeah we are sorry sorry uh
[1494.1s] uh I pocket the I pocket the thread close the door um and uh
[1505.0s] I'll pull out one of my brain boogers to remember whatever that whatever that
[1509.8s] unintelligible language was just
[1516.7s] Bizard and Alydin you're walking through the streets heading back towards
[1520.8s] Bonwyn's parents house swinging by Everbane's first to see if she'd come back but then down
[1525.9s] to Bonwyn's parents house and then you see Cav with his two guards just walking up and down
[1531.5s] the street just getting him sweaty I know it's around here somewhere.
[1535.6s] Cav hey oh hey I I think Alydin and I found uh the solution to uh Bonwyn's problem.
[1547.1s] Oh very cool was it in a book?
[1550.4s] Yeah yeah yeah I should really read more books they have a lot of answers in those things.
[1557.1s] Yeah last time you messed with books you got in trouble.
[1559.9s] Oh good point ha ha it's not really funny but you know no no but I mean it's what happened
[1567.4s] so true true okay uh well we're headed over to uh Everbane's right now.
[1574.0s] You good to go?
[1575.3s] Yeah absolutely let's go share the good word.
[1579.1s] That's right.
[1579.9s] No wait the good news yeah the good news.
[1582.1s] The good news of these good words.
[1584.4s] We've got to head to Bonwyn's parents house you catch her up on everything that's been going on
[1589.9s] and that's where we find you.
[1591.8s] Okay um thank you for reading the book finding the information I have to be honest
[1599.1s] I still don't think I understand what do I have to do I'll just do the ritual and then.
[1605.9s] I I mean based off of it says speak her name aloud declare yourself before the forge perhaps
[1617.5s] you know it is a it is a bond of your family between each other and
[1625.9s] so recognize it basically you're saying hi right that's what it sounds like.
[1632.1s] So yeah kind of yeah just sort of uh you know it's like a long lost cousin of a cousin of a
[1639.4s] cousin and I'm just saying hey I'm Malin's great-great-great-granddaughter and like
[1647.1s] hello it sounds like a good start okay maybe tell tell it what you want it to do oh
[1653.8s] Mm-hmm oh also uh part of this maybe you need to you know uh show appreciation
[1661.9s] so well look you know here's here's what you mean to me okay I mean it's a good question
[1671.0s] what does it mean to you that's a good question I mean I've been thinking about it a lot and
[1676.7s] it means a lot to me and my family and the community and so
[1684.8s] okay I can do that I think yeah and uh then it talks about what you're
[1692.8s] hoping to earn so you know of course it's a give and take with most relationships right
[1697.9s] right right yeah so um yeah what do I okay what do I because I know what I get from the
[1703.7s] forge what does the forge get from me just like my love is that our trade appreciation of course if
[1711.7s] in these moments then um your grief your grief and kind of grief kind of the next part we landed
[1719.0s] on but with you know something that's emotionally significant right so I think the dagger um what
[1726.3s] did your dad call it poke poke poke poke poke poke hammer hammer hammer hammer
[1734.1s] so you know I think we were on with that and the only thing I don't know about is the last
[1739.9s] way it says feed the ember right there's no ember there is no ember so it's like a symbolic
[1747.9s] ember yeah yeah I was thinking physical because it's got to combust but yeah with everything
