“The Tattered One, you have seen it for yourself” Atal’s voice drifted in “The Pnakotic Manuscripts is not for us to understand, Barzai the Wise thought he had perused the entirety of it and he believed this is the fruit of intelligence of an ancient race that allowed them to resist the power of divinity”
At thatbetween the pages, it appeared like the seal for some kind of ritual “What kind of seal is that?” he asked
“No one knows” Atal sighed as he thought back to his days of study, “Barzai the wise believes the seal contains some kind of power that will help you rise about the Gods but you knehat happened up there, he was plucked out of the summit by a horrible force from the abyss A fewand Mir gathered their courage to clio look for him After they reached the summit, they found no trace of Barzai the Wise but they did find a giant imprint on one of the boulders, it looked like it had been carved there by the Gods…” Atal paused before continuing, “The imprint is the same as the seal inside the book”
