[Everfrost] Erethea's Slate

{ChangeScene(SnowyMain_241)}It... it... was the devious actions of that monster?! It didn't seem that intelligent... Our shaman Invich didn't mention seeing such a monster on the Path of Prophecy, either! {ChangeScene(SnowyMain_242)}Blind faith in prophetic paths is folly. For if all prophecies came to fruition, this world would already be in ruin.

Please report these findings to the shaman Invich. This is a new ordeal facing the Mountain of Eternal Winter.

The witches smiled, but inside, they were weeping. They who had thrown themselves in a pit of deep despair... Why..? And for what..? ...I cannot see it... ...past "the day the festivities should have been held..." Whatever was Erethea trying to tell us?... {ChangeScene(SnowyMain_244)}On the day the Khan entered the woods, the Chief of the Okjinsini uttered something much the same... For that day was supposed to be a day of celebration... The day when the seal of the tablet left by the Seventh Witch was to be broken. {ChangeScene(SnowyMountain_NPC_50798)}But the reason why the witch's tablet has remained sealed in separate parts until now is not because we have yet to reach the end of our path of prophecy... No, it's more like... this was all part of the grand design from the start... in order to reveal a distant future that may occur... {ChangeScene(SnowyMain_243)}But don't the stone tablets say that the closer we are to the end of the Path of Prophecy, the more the seal on the tablets will weaken?
