A stunned silence lingered within the stone corridor of the guildhall, its only occupants frozen with the weight of the words on the wall. “It was the tower, right? That's the only thing that makes sense,” Nik thought aloud. “It has to be. It also explains the state we saw him in. His psyche has been fractured into hundreds of pieces. But we could put him back together. We can bring my father back!” Harper's tears began to trail over smiling lips as genuine hope shone in her eyes. Wolf looked down into her eyes and repeated her words back to her in confirmation. “We can bring him back.” “Do you think that means that there are over five hundred towers?” Nik asked. “And why is that here and not just a new quest for the burrow lord, specifically?” Kath added in question. From the moment they'd entered the hall to now, Harper's demeanor had shifted dramatically. Her body was almost vibrating with newfound energy. The toe of one boot rapidly bounced up and down on the floor as she considered the information. “Based on the proximity of the nearest towers and my guesses at the size of the merged worlds, it's not even close to being that few. It’s likely that not every tower will yield a fragment of my father’s soul. As for the second question, I'm going to go out on a limb with the assumption that the guild itself can claim towers in the name of its leader. If that's the case, then it would make sense for it to be a guild-wide quest,” Harper replied. Nik looked on at the wall. The luminous message loomed over him as it threatened to direct the course of their collective futures. “The short-term goal doesn't change. We need to claim the nearby towers and try to form a barrier around Candlelight. I don't know that we can claim every tower in the world, but this is where we will start. I don't know what I would do to get my parents back, but if we can bring one of yours back to you, then we won't stop until we've tried our best.” “There’s no oath that I wouldn’t swear to you to see it done. I will teach you anything and everything that I know. You can learn my skills, and I’ll share my father’s journal with you. I’ll even tell you what you need to know to help Ryan reach his potential.” She pushed herself out of Wolf's arms to stand on her own. “What do you mean about Ryan?” Nik stood straight. Harper smirked. “Your friend is holding himself back for you, but he doesn’t need to do that anymore. I think we should prepare both of you before we go for the next tower. Meanwhile, the adventurers should try to go through the Emberwood Tower again. They need to catch up with your levels, and facing the tower again could help them do that. Pearl has fallen behind, too. She should go with them if she wants to continue to stand at your side.” “I'll leave that decision to them. There's more stuff that needs done here. As the leader, I need to see to the other needs of the burrow, but we can start tonight. I want to learn everything you have to teach me,” he told the admin. Worik cleared his throat and said, “Excuse me, Burrow Lord. So, I know you've got other stuff to deal with in town, but you might want to look at everythin’ else on the wall. A couple of these quests make me think you might want to prioritize things differently.” Nik nodded to his guard and turned his gaze back to the quest board. I really let the quest for the Architect distract me from all of the others. Okay, what else do we have here? Help set traps for field mice? Help Bungie find his misplaced cookware? These don’t really seem that… “Tower…” was all he could say at the words laid out before him. The next few quests drastically shifted from important to terrifying to consider.
