Revan part 1/ chapter 6: Revelation
Xaries looked at the crystal, the glowing runes, and finally Revan. A grin appeared on his face,"I must thank you for activating the crystal, our scholars have had a difficult time with that relic." Revan realized, that the High Naryyn must have been studying this ruin.
"We could have use for you...", His voice trailed off.
"And what would that be?"
"You could help our archeologists search this shrine, and get reprieve in return."
Revan wieghed his options, he could fight with a small chance of sucess, or help these beings and escape later..... "Not all High Naryyn believe your kind are heretics, trust him." The disembodied voice of the spirit advised.
Revan decided he could trust the spirit....... and the spirit trusted Lord Xaries.
"Alright Xaries you have a deal," he said. Xaries appeared pleased with this and had Revan escorted to a cell area.
some time later..... The door opened and a young High Naryyn in robes entered,"My name is Xarkum, I'm the head scholar in this shrine." "I'm Revan." Xarkum nodded,"Lord Xaries has told me that you wish to help us unlock the secrets of this shrine." "He's treated me differently then the rest of my kind," Revan muttered. "Sevro-brother- Revan, not all of us hate your race, Lord Xaries is often(and unjustly) critisized for his leniancy toward your people. He and I have lost much because we lack the severity that the council encourages, the only reason he has progressed so far is because of his skill, and popularity among his subordinates. Many of our troops are a part of the executionary force because they have families to support." Revan realized that he could understand, even sympathize, for their moral conflict.
They both walked down the corridor side-by-side, for they had began to form a brotherly bond, both took turns talking about their early lives growing up (this was the first time for Revan to share his past with another being). Soon they entered a huge chamber and Revan began to translate the runes for Xarkum and his fellow scholars.
After several hours............ Revan and Xarkum were heading to the meeting area before parting ways. From the chamber someone was screaming at the top of their lungs,"You allowed the vermin to
WHAT!!!" They both stopped at the entryway to listen,"Calm yourself holy one, the council authorized that the scholars
any means to acomplish their studies of th-." "The council made it absolutly
CLEAR THAT STUDYING THE INFEDEL'S RELICS WAS A SECONDARY OBJECTIVE!!!" Revan caught a glimpse of the 'holy one' as Xarkum realized who the being was,"That is Norik, a '
Qesna Troc Jy Narqay'-Holy Hand of the Council their importance and authority is only surpassed by the councilers themselves. "Lord Xaries, you were [i]ordered to
EXTERMINATE any infidels on sight, not take them alive for the sake of a few note-scribling scholars, I could have you executed for
TREASON!!!" "I'll have your head for this HERECY!!!" As the holy one stormed out into the hallway, the holy one and Revan's eyes met through his helmet visor.......
