Bailian: "Yes, it all seems to fit. Right down to her loyal foreign masked companion of great battle prowess. (I had wondered what that meant. These prophecies are always so oddly worded.) She has come here seeking the wisdom of the Elders after witnessing the death of the Emperor & being charged with a task of great importance. She is to be be given the Bow of Kynareth with which to wound the Lord of Destruction in his...er...private parts, which will enable the heir to destroy him & close shut the jaws of Oblivion. Yes, it all seems to fit."

Zira: "Gulp...me? Surely not."

Carrick: "Do not worry little one. The gods always choose an unlikely champion. That keeps everyone humble & illustrates how we all must depend upon their help & that everyone is important to them.They will give you all the assistance that you need. Delavan's family have kept the Bow of Kynareth for centuries. He said that if we discovered that you were the one who is intended to use it, he will pass it along to you tonight. He will be your host for dinner tonight & tell you more about it. Be brave & of good heart. You will have help in this task."
