Kaelion: This is the same light beam from outside…
Could it be connected to the exit? Or maybe linked to the attack on this place?
System Message… You found a clue. (Light)
Kaelion: Light… Burnt books…
So the research done here was it about light?
(He walks toward the flickering glow.)
Kaelion: This thing…
(he brings the glass shard he picked up earlier closer to the light)
The light flares up tenfold, illuminating the entire room and radiating heat.
Kaelion: What is this? It amplifies the light's power and practically scorches the whole room…
(He pulls the shard away from the light.)
System Message… You found a clue. (Heat)
Kaelion: Huh? Elves… Light… Heat… What does this all mean?
(He looks at the shard in his hand.)
Kaelion: Whatever happened here… this shard must be involved.
(He holds the shard up to the light again.)
Kaelion: The place lights up again…
So could it be that the ones who attacked this place came for this technological device the elves were developing?
System Message… You found a clue. (Artifact)
Kaelion: Ah… So the elves were working on an Artifact… or they had already made it.
But elves are a peaceful race, they don't leave their forests, and they never provoke anyone.
There's no reason to attack them…
I don't think they were trying to make a destructive artifact either.
If what I'm holding is a piece of that Artifact, then all it does is amplify light…
(He sees a claw behind the beam of light.)
Kaelion: Aha… a potential clue!
(He reaches out and picks up the claw.)
Kaelion: What is this thing? What creature could it belong to?
Too long and straight for a wolf's claw…
Far too long, sharp, and durable for a human nail…
(he notices dried blood at the tip)
Kaelion: Could this be…?
(He stands up quickly.)
Kaelion: A vampire claw?
