Regrettably Dominus was currently AWOL after expending all his energy talking up multiple storms and fighting the stepper but he probably wouldn't be willing to talk to Ares about much of these discoveries anyway. It's not like he and Ares had known each other long, even if they got along with one another well enough, so he'd probably just run away from the topic or dismiss it. Ares likely wouldn't get to know much about Dominus' past for a long while but that was fine as he was currently more interested in the Lighter Duo subplot as it got quite interesting towards the latter end of the diary when Sevorus finally got involved. There was only really one or two entries from him that mattered but they were very informative. For now, though, it was still just a bunch of whining from his master about the inconveniences of doing his research with such a consistently annoying bunch of pursuers that Kazaz had wracked up during his time. Towards the end, before Sevorus' Master passed on the diary and the experimental notes to Sevorus, there were some interesting topics brought up regarding something Ares had been curious about ever since he received the Backfire Bindings from the pagoda. What happened to the wind Goddess way back when? There was never a clear answer to that but it seemed like shady dealings were happening in the background and trouble was brewing on the horizon... Although maybe not for Ares for once?

Hmph, good news bad news. I've finally learnt what the damnable magic oozing out of the Primordial Blade is but it is completely inaccessible to me at the current moment in time. The existence of fundamental pillars has finally been talked about publicly for the first time and I'm assuming the Blade is related to it. Wielding a fundamental pillar magic is not an endeavour I can realistically undertake, especially not before a wielder of said pillar has even been born. Perhaps I could turn a champion into an enabler but there's no sign of any fundamental pillar wielders being born on the horizon so my merging strategy to create the enabler of all will have to take a back seat for now. I'm not giving up on this general line of thinking, and I still believe combining treasures is key, but I will have to design a new method if I want to make any kind of progress going forward...
But things have gotten troublesome. Though escaping my pursuers was manageable before, now that I've taken on a student I have an obligation to protect him too. Normally I would never do such a thing, and they could damn well fend for themselves, but he's a bright and interesting individual who I believe will be of great use to me down the line. I won't call him more talented than me but I will say his methods are unique and out of the box in ways even I wouldn't bother messing around with. He lacks a spark, a motivation akin to what you and I possess, Kazaz, but even still he has a place in the world of science carved out for him. When his deeds transcend expectations I can reap the benefits and use his research as a stepping stone, given the relevant nature of it, so we both stand to gain off one another. I am his starting platform from which he can grow into a suitable lackey. We have discussed this and come to the agreement that we shall make full use of each other and he's easy enough to get along with in that regard. Though we will inevitably betray each other and constantly steal research, this is simply what works best for insane fools like us. There is little honor among us thieves but enough to trust we won't cause each other irreparable harm or make life, and our pursuits, impossible for one another. If nothing else he will become a brilliant scapegoat to draw Dominus's attention while I continue my experiments in secret.
I am not stupid enough to disclose the location but I have no issues with openly stating that I have a secret lair of sorts I can retreat to and remain undetected even if the Gods themselves were to try hunt me down. I may very well make use of it soon too as I've happened across an interesting specimen; a half dead Goddess. It's hardly often I get such a valuable material to hack away at falling right into my lap. Regarding treasures, I have no idea what I will discover by playing around with a God, it may not even benefit me or help me create the enabler of all in the slightest. Still, I have no other avenues in mind right now so perhaps I will pursue that instead for a while and see how things turn out.

Strange. I am unable to turn the wind Goddess into a treasure. Sure I could cut off limbs or hair and turn it into an artefact, that's only natural and has been done plenty of times as is, but a treasure seems truly impossible for some strange reason. A single cultivator can merge with mana and become a treasure in death so why is it different for deities? The wind Goddess is in a state akin to death right now, AKA suspended animation, and I've use this method before in testing so there should be no issue on that front. If it worked, she would die permanently and become a treasure. As it has failed, I can bring her back from the dead and continue my experiments but it's disappointing, to say the least. I was curious to see what manner of treasure a God could become as they may very well turn into enablers all on their own without the need for millions of other cultivators. Their affinity for their respective pillar is greater than miscellaneous riff raff, completely unrivalled, so it's only natural they should create some manner of incredible treasure in death...
And yet, now that I think about it, there aren't really records of treasures being born around dead Gods. There would absolutely be records of rare treasures popping up near deceased deities over the eras if such a phenomenon had ever occurred but there's only ever mention of artefacts crafted from their flesh. It seems highly improbable this has never happened even a single time so there must be something special about deities that sets them apart, an underlying difference that prevents them from becoming treasures in death. As far as I know, they are granted 'authority' over the pillar's specialisation but what exactly does that entail? How is such a thing given in the first place? Perhaps I should direct my attention to pillars first? It feels as though I'm being led down a deep rabbit hole here, and getting side-tracked from my original intentions is unfortunate, but perhaps understanding this first will help solve the other questions I have... And yet I feel like I'm broaching a taboo topic I shouldn't be delving too recklessly into... How exciting.

I have unintentionally resurrected the dead. The wind Goddess succumbed to various wounds a year or so ago and I made no note of it because I was in secluded cultivation at the time. I came out recently and found her corpse straddling the surgery table, lifeless and unmoving. I planned on updating the diary to make note of this development but I wanted to consolidate my cultivation, and make sure I was firmly accustomed to my new realm first and foremost, so I reentered secluded cultivation. I came out again a few days later, and was prepared to make note of the Goddess' death, but the Goddess was alive once more and now I am writing this bizarre entry instead. This resurrection had nothing to do with me and I cannot figure out the mechanism that brought forth such a miracle. I checked her bloodstream and body but there was nothing in either that should have been capable of bringing her back form the afterlife. Though she struggled to speak, she informed me that she also had no idea why it happened... Of course there was also a lot of begging involved, it seems she really wants to escape from me for whatever reason, and it wasn't easy extracting an answer. In the end I had to make a few concessions to get her to talk and, woe upon me, she gave me no credible leads as to why she was back from the land of the dead even after we made a deal.
I know I kept the Goddess' soul on standby, to prevent it from disappearing to hell or heaven, but the body was in complete disrepair and she should have been dead... My usual methods for investigating this phenomenon are, regrettably, painful for the test subject so I can no longer use them as I swore an oath not to. It shall take me a little longer than I would like to get answers on this matter but there is nothing I can do since I've given the Goddess my word that I'll be 'gentler'. I will update this diary with another entry as soon as I come to a conclusion that can sufficiently explain what has happened here today.

I am now more confused than I was previously desire having all the answers I could possibly ever want. The wind Goddess was revived because she combined with a treasure I left near her corpse. It was a relatively uninteresting treasure, something like a Geiger counter for mana that I picked up for a reasonable price from Dingo and have used as a tool ever since. Uninteresting but very reliable... And gone now... Sort of. It is has been absorbed by the wind Goddess and given her a new lease on life. She can even use a new ability innately related to the treasure as she can detect mana via her wind. It sounds plain but given the reach of her wind authority she can detect mana in living creatures entire domains away. Sneaking up on her ought to be near impossible if you possess any mana within your body and are touched by wind. If she had such an ability back during her prime she may have been able to avoid the ambush that ruined her life and led her to me. Sometimes the simplest skills are the most useful and this one is decently strong. So much so I've made another deal with her. I will keep her alive on the condition she informs me whenever any of my pursuers begin catching up to me. In this way I should never be run ragged ever again. Last time my pursuers located me when I was gathering materials and resources I had to use multiple life saving treasures to flee like a beaten, humiliated animal so this temporary co-operation between the Goddess and I is very welcome. It does not change the fact that I have no idea why the Goddess merged with a treasure, however, or how that saved her, so I will need to perhaps restructure my understanding of what a God even is. I am once again plagued by the need to know how pillars work and what they do, exactly, to God candidates to deify them... Now that the Goddess is more amenable to friendly discussion I can gather information without having to resort to slow and forceful methods. We shall see what happens next.
- Calendar Year J4000
Am I the real experiment? Apologies, I should elaborate, my mind is racing right now and I started this entry in the wrong place. I have learned that God candidates are turned into treasures upon their ascendency to Godhood. 'Authority' over affinities is not a physical entity, or object, but it is what the God candidates merge with to become a God. The pillar supplies the mana, the authority, and even oversees the merging process, essentially forging a treasure, a God, out of all the materials. Gods are living treasures, perhaps they could even be considered living enablers? When I initially made this discovery I was over the moon and practically salivating at the potential experiments I could conduct with this knowledge... But I quickly realised it wasn't so simple. The Wind Goddess was revived because she was a turned into a 'new treasure' via the combination process. She has the same memories, capabilities, and body, but she has evolved. The best analogy I can make is that it's like the Goddess was a dead battery and someone placed new battery acid from a different, functioning battery inside her to kick start her again. Or another example, actually, would be like putting a soul into a dead body it didn't originally belong to to give the body new life. Treasures do not have souls, however, so the wind Goddess didn't become a different person, she was just given the energy to sustain her body again. Of course the original treasure, the mana detecting treasure, is lost in the process, so it's a little different to the examples I gave, but the point still remains that Gods and Goddesses are treasures and they can be merged with other treasures to revive them from death or adapt them in life. This complicates things.
Such a phenomena explains why Gods cannot turn into treasures in death; it's because they're already treasures. If anything, no treasures can ever exist around deities as they will disappear and be merged into them. There are plenty of tales of deities randomly surviving life ending devastation with their 'almighty power' but the truth of the matter is that they were pulled from the brink by this merging process and so we go back to the question I raised earlier... Am I the experiment? There is only one way of merging treasures, I know this. It requires that weird fundamental pillar magic, whatever it is... So why can all the other pillars use it to create and resurrect their deities?! The pillars have to use it on demand to merge authority and their mana supplies with a God candidate so they can, at will, bring the merging magic into existence if they truly need it. This also means that whenever a God is resurrected in the manner described earlier, it's the pillar they come under that is doing it and not them themselves. This is not a power the Gods control and it is not always a power the pillar activates to save their deity... Sure in some situations deities cannot be saved, so the pillars just ignore them and let them die, but there are plenty of cases wherein the pillars, with this new knowledge, must have acted. If the pillars can control that magic relatively freely, and combine treasures freely to resurrect their chosen Gods when it suits them, then that raises many questions.
For starters, why isn't this widely known? This isn't something the Gods could realistically hide if they were aware of it as at least one would have been forced to spill the secret across the eras. Were the pillars trying to be discrete with this power and only use it when little to no traces would be left behind? Why aren't they using this magic freely and making the Gods' status as living treasures known? If that merging magic belongs to a fundamental pillar, why can the other pillars use it? Was it even the wind pillar that resurrected the Goddess or was it the fundamental pillar? If it was the latter... Why? Does this mean the pillars can create treasures and combine them at will like the Primordial Blade? If the pillars have been watching me, and understand my goals, are they only now revealing this power because it benefits them? There was no way I'd miss this, the Goddess was literally resurrected outside my doorstep, so why would they be interested in furthering along my research by showing me this now and extending an olive branch? What are they trying to learn through me? There must be something obvious I'm missing but if the pillars are seemingly interested in helping me discover it then I will not complain... Once again, I cannot shake the feeling I am on the cusp of a secret mere mortals should not ever understand. If even the pillars do not know of the truth I am chasing, and wish for me to succeed so they too can learn of it.... Then what is the scale of this mystery exactly?!
- Calendar Year L6666
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
I HAVE THE ANSWERS!
I HAVE THEM ALL!
This inverse, the reason it exists... Not even I could have imagined such a thing! To think we were all so insignificant! I am awash with humility but also inconcievable joy at finally having learnt the truth of all things! The connection between it all is right there! The Primordial Blade can create and merge treasures because it is a treasure of 'nothingness', an aspect authority belonging to the destruction pillar!
That answers everything!
I now know the name of the magic that has evaded me all this time and I am, in fact, the only one who knows this for now. I also know of annihilation and disintegration! I will get to why I know of this shortly but, first, nothingness!
Nothingness is the correct answer to all my research due to its ability to forcibly merge objects and creatures in one cohabited space. So then, why can the pillars other than destruction wield nothingness?! This stumped me but it became obvious eventually. Pillars can not share their authority with other aspects, the destruction pillar did not grant the other pillars the ability to merge, they already had it from the get go. Not control over nothingness, that is something the pillars do not possess, but merging is well within their ability because it is mandatory for what they were tasked to do. Pillars can create and merge treasures, just like the Blade can, which should tell anyone who pays attention, and connects every single dot, what the pillars really are! I spent all my life chasing treasures but the answer was right under my nose the whole time! Something, ironically, far greater than any treasure despite all logic pointing to them being inferior!
I cannot say it.
I understand the gravity of this situation and I know the pillars are watching my every move... But I now what they are now! And as soon as I figured it out... That was when I was contacted by the destruction pillar itself. It told me the truth of this world and, Kazaz, you dead fool, I owe you an apology. We were both right! The end goal of this universe as we know it, the real perfection you and I both chased, was an All Father after all! But as I've already stated, Gods are treasures! An All Father God would also be, in no uncertain terms, a living enabler of all! We were striving to create the exact same thing from the very beginning!
I cannot disclose why Gods are made into treasures.
I cannot explicitly state what pillars are.
I cannot tell you why the destruction pillar has been resurrecting certain Gods in secret and letting others die.
I cannot talk about real Gods or the true universe.
I cannot disclose anything but I know my role now in all of this. I still have no desire greater than that of creating the enabler of all so I shall go into hiding and work alongside the destruction pillar to create the perfect vessel. It has already taken unthinkable measures and I will do so too. What I have learnt will be the death of us all should even a single word of it leak out. I cannot be found by Dominus. It is not an option any longer because a single forceful interrogation at his hands with treasures or pills that force me to relinquish the truth will doom this entire universe. It's bad enough the other pillars almost tricked me into revealing countless secrets by resurrecting the wind Goddess before me and furthering my research. They want to know what I now know and copied the destruction pillar's habit of resurrecting Gods to try and learn why it's doing what it's doing. I very nearly accidentally brought about this world's annihilation by working with the other pillars. I cannot let that happen before I create the All Father. I'm not desperate to live, I'm desperate to succeed. The destruction pillar was not too happy about my reasoning but it understands that we are on the same page and our goals align!
This wind pillar Goddess will be useful after all. I'm am going to have to indirectly break my promise to her as her death is going to be my present to the fundamental champion of destruction whenever they are born. Once they have been nurtured safely within the confine of the Primordial Blade's protective barrier I will unleash the Goddess once more but in a weakened state such that the champion may kill her. The destruction champion ought to have a monstrous revenant bloodline and the sooner they can unlock its full potential, by devouring a God and consuming the essence of divinity, the better. Other than that, I need to create as many enablers as humanly possible. I have a considerable amount already but I need more to create the All Father. Though it isn't mandatory to accomplish the end goal, and the destruction pillar already had a far more demonic measure in place that would have been highly effective, this way is simpler and faster.
I have work that must be done so I will not be seeing the light of day again for a long time. As such, I shall leave this diary to my disciple, Sevorus. I have no idea what exactly he will do with any of the information in this book but, quite frankly, I do not care. Now that I Have solved everything that has bothered me since the beginning I can move on in peace. He may still continue with the experiments, to try and understand what I have understood, but that is his own prerogative. I am, for now, content. Once the All Father / enabler of all is created, I can die a happy man. Dominus may rip my throat out and cut my heart into billions of pieces if he so desires for, by then, I shall have already succeeded in a way that can never be undone! Ha! The world thinks me evil and, yet, I shall aid its salvation perhaps more than any other living creature besides the champion of destruction themselves. Oh how agonising such a truth would be to those who detest me! If only I could see the looks on their faces... Still, I have been outdone. The destruction pillar... The layers of plans it has concocted over the years. I am in awe...
We may be the ultimate force for good in this universe but we are by no means good people.
The destruction pillar may very well be the most evil thing I've ever met and, soon, its champion shall follow in its footsteps... Whether they like it or not.
Ares didn't have much to say about this... He knew what Sevorus' master was referring to but it's not exactly like he could say it aloud or anything. When Dominus woke up he was probably going to be extremely pissed off that Sevorus' master was on their side for now, and couldn't be interfered with, but life had thrown everyone involved here a massive curveball. Sevorus' master touched upon truly forbidden knowledge and, honestly, that was impressive for a random cultivator. The connections he made weren't the easiest to spot and it was only because of his obsession with treasures he even discovered an inkling of the truth after dedicating his entire life to the topic.
It was deeply concerning that the other pillars were asking questions and conducting experiments to learn about their own nature, and more importantly what the destruction pillar was up to behind their backs, but thankfully nothing came of it and Sevorus' master was a smart man who knew when to shut up. If he ever mentioned this secret he would be dead in a mater of days, alongside the entire rest of the universe, so it's not like he really had a choice anyway. Then again, that summed up Ares and the destruction pillar too as they didn't have choices in this matter either. Hell even Xhilihx didn't have a choice. Nor did Astraeus, the pillars, or the fundamental pillars even. There was not a single person in this universe that could escape their fate or freely make a choice because there was only one outcome if anybody didn't play their role perfectly, complete extinction. The destruction pillar was the lead actor and Ares was the co-leader, everyone else had a supporting role but that wasn't the original intention. The destruction pillar and its champion should not have needed to scurry around like rats like this. This was jsut how things played out, though, and there was no point crying about it now when nothing could be changed. instead, the destruction pillar understood its assignment and devised a brilliant strategy to fix the hot mess and set things back on the right track.
Ares didn't exactly like Sevorus' master, he'd done horrible things and deserved death, but he was part of the script writing team now and knew too much, and possessed too much value, to be tossed aside or carelessly murdered. Plus he was willingly helping Ares later in his journey so there was no point making an enemy of him... And perhaps Sevorus too when he one day learned the truth if he ever did. Sevorus was as alarmingly smart as his master, though, so he may very well figure it out this whole situation on his own too... In fact, he might have already worked it all out and had just been waiting for confirmation from Ares himself at this point. The reason he came down to Sheryashka was for Ares, after all. Kazaz wanted to create the All Father, Sevorus wanted to create the perfect being, and his master wanted to create the enabler of all. All three of them, collectively, without even knowing until recently, wanted the exact same thing. Sevorus must have inferred that the destruction champion would be hidden behind the Blade's safety net after birth and so he found a way to break into Sheryashka and set up this Riddlemyd to gather the champion's DNA. It wasn't random that he had a presence here... Anyway, Sevorus' master's entries ended there and, from then on, it was Sevorus' time to shine and this was where the Duo's story unfolded. Thankfully there weren't too many entries that were relevant so the number of entries that needed to be read to understand his goals and accomplishments were shorter than Kazaz and his master. Plus he was less verbose and more to the point. In fact, his entire involvement was pretty neatly summarised by a single entry.
- Calendar Year L6667
Kazaz, I would like to formally apologise for my master's behaviour. He is a rather rude and snobby person and he can be rather unscrupulous at times when peer reviewing. Though you were definitely not a genius there was no reason for you to be ridiculed to such an extent given that you were ultimately right about whatever it is my master was referring to during his entries. You were owed an apology more sincere than the passing remark he offered so I hope you may rest in peace now properly...
However, I have news that may or may not upset you.
Or maybe you'll take great joy in this. I don't know and, to put it bluntly, I do not care. You are dead.
I have found an answer to your earlier roadblock. I know my master has already taken his own course, and is infinitely close to completing the All Father, but I followed in your footsteps, Kazaz, and approached the problem via your method and not my master's. It intrigued me. Do you remember how you said you couldn't combine perfect cultivators? Even my master was stumped by this problem and opted to avoid it rather than tackle it head on. I, however, have figured out a solution that works without fail. Take a cultivator with multiple affiliations, split them into separate entities, each taking away one of the positive affiliations, perfect those entities separately, then rejoin them. Perfect cultivators cannot be combined because they are simply too different from one another and their bodies and affiliations are incompatible. If you take a subject, divide it, and then recombine them afterwards, however, this approach does in fact work as the pieces slot together perfectly.
It's like destroying and then fixing a jigsaw puzzle after polishing the individual pieces to make the final picture shinier than it was as the start.
For example, and I do apologise in advance for this, your descendent, the current prince of Kazaz, was an excellent lightning and water pillar cultivator. I have divided him into two different people, one who controls the water affiliation and one who controls the lightning affiliation, and pumped them full of relevant souls to make them perfect. As they regain their memories their power will grow accordingly and, ultimately, I will recombine them to form a perfect cultivator with tremendous power over multiple affiliations; something you were unable to achieve in your lifetime. If someone like, say, Veteran, were willing to to be a test subject, I could create the All Father in a matter of a handful of years. All I need is someone who has an affiliation for every aspect and then the rest is incredibly simple. Granted, learning how to divide a living creature was challenging but, from there, the rest fell into place and I have had no issues since.
Ah but I should mention my little experiment with the Kazaz Prince was entirely voluntary. Your descendants' dynasty lasted an impressive number of eras but it was on the decline recently and a single talented prince was never going to be enough to save them from their fate. The prince, his parents, and all the council of the kingdom agreed to this so it's not as bad as you may believe. Your descendent is in good hands... Although I did let him... Them... Out into the wild. I'm sure they'll live, I put them somewhere relatively safe and close by to one another. They should make their way to my lab eventually. I left a few hidden memories, that would awaken when they reach twenty, that would push them to search for answers and seek my lab. Arriving at the lab will kickstart their recovery and journey so there's no problems there. By the time the prince returns to his kingdom he shall be nigh unstoppable and with all his memories intact. Imagine Dominus but twice as strong. The prince had exceptional mastery over lighting and water initially and this experiment was a roaring success so I can only imagine the heights he will reach with two perfected pillar affiliations. There will be side effects, however, and the memories of the deceased souls shoved into him will merge at some point. It's not a pretty fate, and will be agonising no doubt, but the price of advancement and perfection is not free and they agreed to this regardless. The nightmares and pain will pass over the course of many years, though, and Dominus is an excellent example of that. He is still haunted by the memories of his deceased loved ones and countrymen ingrained in his brain but he has already fully accepted each and every memory and is living in relative peace. It's certainly not easy, having millions of traumatic experiences dumped into the brain, but it is survivable at least.
As for the All Father matter, I'm not too concerned. Knowing that my master will accomplish it eventually anyway, I'm more interested in adding bells and whistles to the All Father in other ways once they are complete. Technology, alien biological advantages, the enhancement of genetics, etc... My master will complete the All Father, I will perfect them. That is my goal. I simply overcame your roadblock, Kazaz, out of curiosity and nothing more. It was surprisingly easy, actually, and I've succeeded more than once now. I can reliably do the procedure each and every time and there are now cultivators running around with multiple perfect affiliations. I wonder if that means enablers of multiple pillars will start showing up eventually? Oh well, not my problem, I have more important matters to attend to. One of my test subjects, a stepper of all things, has just developed an aura at an incredibly young age. The perfect being I'm striving to create should naturally possess an aura too so I shall return to my lab in the upper domain and see if there's anyway I can force the All Father candidate to awaken one. I may miss their birth but if I leave the Riddlemyd behind I'm sure they'll stand to gain from it one way or another as I've tasked my sphinx clone with gathering valuable resources and he's a dedicated individual. If nothing else, I'll gain a sample of the All Father candidate's DNA and be able to conduct experiments on how to improve upon them based on what I find. If my master is on their side then I suppose I too should follow suit as he is not a good man but he is a wise one. It is beneficial to my own goals as well, after all.
Argyle Kazaz, what I have done for your descendant prince... You may consider it a thank you gift for all that you have done. With this, the debt my master and I owe you for setting us on this path is hereby cleared. Maybe if your soul is not fully shattered yet you will get a chance to see my creation with your own two eyes one day in the afterlife. If such a thing happens, and it ever brings you closure... Well, you are very welcome. As or the prince... Or princes, I suppose, should you two ever happen across this diary, I'm leaving it here for you after all, please continue to search through the other labs as I've left you something that should be of great benefit to you. I've created an artifact that will allow you to become whole or split yourselves apart at will. You may freely control your fates from now on so do not pester me again, please and thank you. Also, do not steal the resources my sphinx has gathered, they do not belong to you. They are for the destruction champion. Should the destruction champion be reading this...
'Tom Tom' is a rather stubbornly loyal individual, please do not form a grudge him for withholding the resources he's accumulated. He's only loosely aware I want to give them out and would prefer to see me use them instead so you might need to whack them out of him like a pinata. Feel free to do so, neither he nor I will blame you for it. Plus he's just a clone anyway... Although I did maybe go a bit overboard with his body... You'll come to understand what I mean in due time but I think you may be able to beat it... Hopefully...
Fighting him for whatever he's found will no doubt be very worthwhile, however, as he has a natural talent for sniffing out and finding extremely rare treasures for whatever reason. Perhaps he was born under a lucky star? Regardless, take the resources at the end of the Riddlemyd but please leave the aforementioned artifact to the prince of Kazaz, it is useless to you anyway. That is all from me, I leave the Riddlemyd in Tom Tom's clumsy but surprisingly capable paws.
