[ upon the two of them finding each other, a glow will suddenly emit from both of their bodies. magic will course through them, and they will both feel that they have a wish waiting to be granted.

I hate this curse. [DON'T PUPPY PLAY HER...] Ugh, anyway, about our power... I've checked the pyre, the posters, a letter someone received and one of the items people brought back from their "trip."
Um... The pyre turns blue while we're wrapping up our investigations because that's when the overseers start their ritual. The posters are made by the magic of this world itself, as a reaction to someone dying. The letter... It was a prank so it's not relevant, anyway. But I learned the items people found are meant to be used for a ritual, so we need to hang on to them.
There's a piece of scroll somewhere that's relevant, I think... But I haven't found the original. Just a copy someone shared with me.
The bible was full of scriptures I've never heard of, with... goat noises. The trees in the swamp are very sensitive to things like magical disruption and dimensional weaves. They've awakened thanks to a recent disruption and now they're doorways for new spaces. The swamp's magic is ancient, primordial and powerful. It's not good or bad -- it just is. It gives back life back, but leaves a mark on whoever it heals. And the room those body parts come from.... it's too far away.
Which piece of a scroll? The one about the god being a baby? And what letter?
The letter isn't relevant. It was just a prank someone played on one of the others here.
[but coming through her thoughts— that piece of crap.
she will not elaborate.]
But yeah, it's the scroll about the fledgling god. I learned that examining something in writing could tell me who wrote it, so if I find the original copy, maybe I could figure out if that information is trustworthy.
