and only Fayze's summoning of a demon can save her. Believe." Brazael's eyes find Fayze's face, and as the color drains out of her, she reaches a weak hand to touch Fayze's cheek, and says, "I believe in you." And she slips away. Fayze says to her, "If your new faith is strong, it will sustain you. There, in a cave, she tries to give Brazael medical attention. In a rage, Fayze pulls the outer wall of Arcadia down behind them, blocking the pursuers, and carries Brazael off into the northern twilight desert. Brazael falls, begging Fayze not to leave her. But tragedy strikes - Brazael is shot through the heart with an arrow. Fayze convinces Brazael that the teachings of Arcadia are a lie, that Fayze indeed knows the true way, and in so breaking Brazael's earlier faith, feeds her demon.īrazael then works to help Fayze escape, getting her a disguise and getting the both of them to the gate. Brazael's resentment of the Priest Mother and Father is strong, and thus, her faith is weak. So she escapes, and makes it to Brazael's quarters, one of her sealmates who did not stand against her earlier. The Seal, a demon whose Need is to break the faith of others, and which can see into the past of things, shows her how one of the ancient architects of her cell was afraid he'd be locked up in it some day, and buried a key in a secret place so he might escape easily. Since the Seal heals all her wounds easily, they lock her up with the intent to starve her to death while they try to undo what she's done. She is beaten senseless and dragged off to a cell. Her story opens with the Priest Mother and Priest Father and the six most loyal Seal-Guards coming upon her as she tries to put a forgery of the Thirteenth back in place. The problem is that her seal-mates don't see it that way. Once a faithful Seal Guardian of Arcadia, she has decided that the new Aeon must be ushered in by freeing Marr'd to scour the face of the world only by ending the current Age of Despair can she see that a new Golden Age is ushered in. From its broken remains she has summoned and bound The Seal by sewing it into her skin where it now sends its runes out through her ritual tattoos. The Story of Fayze, the Heretic Thief of Arcadiaįayze has broken the Thirteenth Seal, one of the 13 seals that is holding the angry spirit of Marr'd prisoner underneath Arcadia. It's available from Indie Press Revolution, from "Paka's Thread". If you haven't already gone out and gotten this great setting-book for Sorcerer, you are sorely missing out.
