Chapter Text
Interlude – Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1) Depth Mage Doroumata, you are a gracious host! Seas take you! Your lovely daughter-apprentices as well. Have you been eating well? I know landfolk food doesn’t sit that well myself. Nothing like a good Invisible Eel in Kelmark sauce, eh? Are the fisheries still working down there or did they all get out again? And who could tell either way?”
Interlude – Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1) He laughed at the bad joke as Doroumata gave him a look of pure surprise. Her daughters were even less subtle, and they began to exhibit different kinds of shock. One’s mouth dropped slightly open like her mother’s, another shifted her skirts, yet another tried to mask…
Interlude – Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1) Eldavin nodded. She was a sensible one. No doubt the Drowned Fleets had picked wisely in choosing her; he wondered who was better, Doroumata or Viltach. You did not become the Shadeward of an entire city unless you could hide them from the vast monsters of the sea—and fight one off if they still came at you.
Interlude – Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1) “In truth, Shadeward Doroumata, I know why you’re here. Before you speak—I am Wistram, and Wistram must keep its secrets. However. I would hate for the Drowned Peoples, who have been allies of the landfolk in times when they are most needed, to take umbrage against the land.”
Interlude – Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1) Eldavin’s brisk slap of the knee made them all start, as such sounds did. The underwater crews hated sharp, loud noises, as they attracted fish. He did it anyways, and gave Doroumata a stern look.
Interlude – Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1) “Lady Doroumata, do you know what has called all of Wistram’s power here? The children?”
Interlude – Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1) “We-ell, if you know where to look, I daresay you’d find the children who stand out, even if they are Human. Wistram also delivers them via boat, which I hate to intimate in any way…I am just speculating, Doroumata.”
Interlude – Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1) “I mean it, Doroumata. Let the sea rule as it will, but let us also not forget the ties that bind us in the direst hour.”
Interlude – Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1) Eldavin rose. As he did, Doroumata grasped his hands with hers. She dug her nails into his skin, but lightly.
Interlude – Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1) “I was also hoping to take a few Depth Charges if you had any, Doroumata? Handy little things and I’m pressed for time…”
Interlude – Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1) Eldavin was careful with the perfectly round sphere of liquid that was nevertheless firm as a rock in his hands. The daughter carefully backed up—not that it would have saved her if he activated it—and he noticed the permanent ward spell around Doroumata grow a bit stronger.
Interlude – Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1) “Of course, of course. One thing…come now, Doroumata, I thought we were friendly! This is only one ton. Pray, might I acquire a stronger one?”
Interlude – Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1) This time Doroumata’s daughters did stir. That was—they looked at their mother. She had decided to give the best one she had to Eldavin, but the [Depth Mage] recovered.
Interlude – Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1) In that way, Eldavin was fooled, despite his great knowledge. Doroumata saw him off, then turned to plot and communicate with her vessel the import he had brought.
Interlude – Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1) Valeterisa waited. Unlike Viltach or Doroumata, Teriarch could just say what he wanted. Refreshingly simple. Valeterisa lived like the very same logical circuits that made up the Earther’s computers and technology.
