Chapter 8: Interlude Excerpt from Kai�s journal: Date- 2nd of Winter�s Light, 5A34W1
Almost immediately after Gorn returned, brought by the goddess, we compared notes on our missions. With the gods help, we believe we have figured out the whole story.
Roshmayl was a rogue Magi like myself. I find it hard to believe that anyone of my race can be so evil, even though it is not even he that is the evil one. There are many reasons in which Sel chose me, a small one being that only a Magi can defeat a Magi in magical combat.
Aside from technical history and reasons, I believe that Gorn and I were chosen because of the fact that we work together so well. The only problem is that we are on our own. We must defeat the Klucta, which shouldn�t be all that hard, since I know all of the species� weaknesses.
Aside from that fight, i think the confrontation will be decided in an instant. Whoever dares to attack first will decide the fate of the battle. I don�t really want to think about it.
I must first retrieve the sword Hinsor from Roshmayl before one of us kills the other. Once I get the sword, my own life matters not. I believe that with the sword, Gorn will be able to harness the flaw for the side of good and tame the beast within Roshmayl.
Also, Roshmayl has already completed part of the prophecy: He has killed the Rhokan. With that part down, the universe is just about prey to his mercies. SynthCorps has sent me a battalion of 3000 soldiers. With them I plan to first put a stop to the fighting here on Flingeis. i move on the Capital city of Cerluan today. Things are beginning to look up for me.
The Dark God has offered to fight at my side, and Wodra at Gorn�s. The team of us four is nearly invincible, and we have grown almost inseparable since the time a month and a half ago when we all met for the first time. When we go off to fight the Dark One we will fight as a team.
In all the commotion I found out why the technology stopping power disappeared from the planet. The Gods Finger has been destroyed. Supposedly when the holder Marc went on a rampage when he found out the Dark God had spared me. In his fury, he smashed the artifact. It was later discovered that the artifact created such an explosion that his entire estates simply disappeared off the face of the world. Rather interesting.
But getting back on subject, The other four Guardians, have been incapacitated, not completely destroyed, and therefore have been unable to do anything against their captors. Nobody knows what to think about this.

We have won! The capital city has fallen and the heads of SynthCorps have come to help in the ruling of this planet. The news is not all good however. The God�s Finger has been found again, this time by a nobleman. He refuses to meet with us and let the Five take the artifact. The only reason I still have a job is because of the Five. They showed up and lent support to break down the walls of Cerluan. We now have a base of attack to siege the Nobleman that has the artifact. If things go as smooth as I see, we will be fighting Roshmayl in the next couple of days.

We have retrieved the artifact. It is a small egg-shaped object about 6 inches in length and 1 in thickness. Not even Sel and Wodra know what it is used for. Supposedly it can stop the use of either technology or magic, we have yet to figure out how to do it.
We have rescued Tranroch from his prison. Though he is the Light�s Guardian, even he is weaker than I. He knows exactly what Roshmayl is up to, but refuses to tell us, saying that to do so would decide the fate of the universe. I have no earthly idea as to what he talks about.
As I write this, I sit and wonder back on the Tarot reading that I had received. I was supposed to destroy all I love and hold dear to me. I really think that the old woman was a quack. We are right now on our way to meet with Roshmayl and to discover the fate of the universe. I could wait. Although you know things are bad when the gods literally go with you�
