To the Kelpie Academy
Dear Wizard #7238 -
Sorry that we are no longer together. Perhaps we can be reunited down the road. Dark times have fallen on the Runiverse since my return. At least Jabir and the Black Eden have been delt a blow with his sudden banishment back to the Quantum Shadow. I am trying to reunite with the remaining warriors to form a group to combat the darkness. They are locked up in a secret place. I have locked up the properties around the Runiverse, no sense in selling them with all the improvements we have on them. Seems like the pending market crash the Red Wizards warned us about has already taken place. I am taking up residence in the Kelpie Academy for the time being.
I will continue to raise the funds to pay the debt to the owner of the Town of the Northern Thicket.
Pony #100 is with me, and I have listed him for sale. I doubt I will find a buyer for him.
Peace Be With You,

The Sacred Flame
**** Chrono-Tele Transcript Dated 12.27.2025 Earth Years *****
Wizard #113 : Merlon are you there? This is Hadrien.
Wizard #7238 : Yeah, what trouble are you in now?
Hadrien: None, actually. I have found what we have been looking for all these years. A Sacred Flame.
Merlon: Your kidding. Where?
Hadrien: Wizard #6730 of course. He had it in his shoppe the whole time. That old fart kept it from us and allowed for us to go on all these quests and bullshit.
Merlon: Ahhh the classic character building. Makes sense. Sorry you had to be stolen and sold and brought back. I mean, damn, I got sold too. All this to end up here with a sacred flame.
Hadrien: Yeah, I think it would have cost us more, perhaps our lives if we acquired this flame at an earlier time. Instead we need a wizard to test this thing on.
Merlon: Who are you thinking? I have a few names. Let’s kidnap and burn Wizard #6287 .
Hadrien: Now, now, he is our friend. He did sell his brother though, so I mean….
Merlon: Yeah. How about Wizard #239 ? We could take over the broadcast for ourselves and talk endless shit about the Runiverse Postal Service.
Hadrien: Too Easy, he would walk in that flame on his own accord that mystic son of a bitch.
Merlon: I got it….. Wizard #5922 .
Hadrien: Darick, the Cleric?
Merlon: Why now, the academy has folded, the Salt Kelpie is wreaking havoc on the Salt Sea shipping lanes and he is broke due to the market. A perfect test subject. I bet he has some redeeming qualities, hell he even spent time in the Runiverse game world.
Hadrien: Let’s do it. I will meet you at 8:30 EST at the Secret Towel. It is just a short jog from the Obsidian Tower. I will bring a tele portal to stream the heat.
Merlon: I will see you there. I think I will bring the Pony of Fire and a few Firebrands I know to help stoke the fire.
Hadrien: Perfect, the hotter the heat, the louder the confession, and the truth. You know, about what this flame really is.
Merlon: I guess so, but don’t be so sure, I wonder if more fire will bring more demons or something. I read it in the Sacred Table text that the Pony of Fire, the Elemental Swords and a lot of hate could bring something bad.
Hadrien: What is worse than what we have endured? Besides, I am still cold from the Ice Abyss. There is nothing that could possibly warm me up more than a Sacred Flame and a few dabs of hot sauce.
Merlon: Make sure the cult does not hear about this. Especially Black Eden and the Cabinet of Curiosities.
Hadrien: They already know. I told Wizard #3209 , I hear he is going to strike while the iron is hot if you know what I mean.
Merlon: Very well. That means, Lord Steve knows too, I bet he send his minions to catch a few degrees.
Hadrien: See you on Monday and do not forget to nab Darick.
Merlon: You ass, I have to get him? I mean damn, always having to do the hard work here. I got a plan.
Hadrien: Sorry.
