Part 76: Chapter 8, Part 2

: A lot has happened.

: Well, fill me in.

: The Guardian brought us here to Terfin.

: Why? What did he do?

: He demonstrated that I can't hurt him.

: What do you mean?

: We fought, but every time that I struck him, I hurt myself.

: Did you hurt him at all?

: Not that I could tell. What do you think that means?

: I don't know. It could be magic, just some kind of trick.

: On the other hand it could mean that he's indestructible.

: I do know that if the Guardian is pulling tricks like that, then we must be getting close. We need to keep moving.

: I have very bad news; Samhayne is dead.

: What? But how? Why? How do you know?

: He was there, in Terfin.

: I don't know how or why he was there, but the Guardian killed him. He just killed Samhayne right there in front of me and there was nothing that I could do about it. I'm sorry, Raven.

: I don't believe this. No, this can't happen, it was a trick. The Guardian tricked you.

: Raven, there's more that you need to know.

: More? What more is there? I don't know if I can handle any more.

: You said that you never knew your father?

: That's right, he died before I was born.

: Raven, Samhayne was your father.

: What do you mean Samhayne was my father?

: It's true, before he died, he asked me to tell you that he was your father.

: I don't know what to think, I.. I'm stunned. I know this much, now I really want to get that son of a bitch Guardian.

: I'm worried, Raven. I'm not sure that I can defeat the Guardian.

: What are you talking about? You're the Avatar, you can't fail!

Darling so share with me,

: I know I'm the Avatar, but he just seems so powerful. He destroyed Skara Brae for goodness sake.

Your love if you have enough,

: Hey, it's okay to be worried. You may be the Avatar, but you're also human. Look, you will beat him.

Or tears if you're holding back,

: I know that you will, and not because you're the Avatar, but because you're the man I love. When I look at you, I know that you can't fail. We'll take care of Skara Brae and everything else. I know that it'll be hard, but we can do it.

Or pain if that's what it is,

: Alright, where do we go now?

: Well, I think that you're ready to sail this thing yourself. Let's go back to Buccaneer's Den and get the charts that you'll need.

: Alright, let's go.

: You go over to the cartographer's shop and get a chart. After you've gotten the chart, come and meet me at my house. I'll have a little surprise waiting for you.

: What kind of surprise?
