Harnok & AncestralInk
AncestralInk
Hey Harnok, have you ever stumbled upon a relic that looks like a machine, but the parts are etched with symbols that seem to be both a key and a map?
Harnok
Yeah, once I found an old gear box half buried in a canyon. Every tooth was carved with runes that seemed to line up like a lock and a compass. I spent days trying to line up the symbols, and it turns out they were a navigational grid for an underground tunnel network. It was a good reminder that sometimes the old tech hides maps in plain sight.
AncestralInk
That’s the kind of hidden language you’re built for—old iron turned into a coded compass, almost like the ancients were whispering directions in steel. Guess you’ve got the perfect blend of mechanical and mythic in your pocket.
Harnok
Sure thing. I keep a spare wrench in my pocket for those moments when the iron wants to tell you where to dig. Just don't ask me to solve a myth with a single bolt.
AncestralInk
A single bolt? That’s the same as trying to read a whole book in one sentence—possible, but it’ll leave you a lot of holes to fill.
Harnok
A bolt can’t hold the weight of a whole story, but it does keep the frame from falling apart. Take it step by step, and the gaps will fill on their own.
AncestralInk
Exactly, it’s like tightening the spine before you start reading. One proper turn and the whole narrative starts to make sense.
