I heard about an old, barely legible codex that claims to record the first use of mind‑magic in royal intrigues—ever come across something like that?
Yenna
Oh, I’ve heard whispers about that codex, the one with the cracked ink and the secrets of a king’s mind. It’s a curious relic, a dusty thread that ties the very first whisper of mind‑magic to the throne. I’ve kept my own copy in a hidden alcove—just enough to keep the right people interested and the right ones wary. It’s always fascinating how a single page can shift a kingdom.
DustyPages
I must admit I’m intrigued, but I won’t ask you to reveal more. That’s how the old manuscripts survive—hidden, kept in place, never fully exposed to the world’s curiosity. And you know, even a single parchment can tilt an entire court, just like those cracked inks in your alcove.
Yenna
It’s a delicate dance, isn’t it? The more a secret stays tucked away, the more it grows in value. Just remember, even the quietest parchment can whisper louder than the loudest proclamation.
DustyPages
Yes, the quietest pages often have the loudest echo when they finally speak—just make sure the echoes don’t drown the rest of the parchment.
Yenna
Exactly, the trick is to let the whispers ripple just far enough to stir the court, but never so far that the parchment’s true weight is lost in the roar.
