Lucius has spent the day whining like mad, because the Dark Lord grows impatient with him. He was set to lead this task months ago but we are little further along than we were in January. Our Lord has spoken of giving the task to another in light of his slowness, and all Lucius can do is complain about how difficult it is. It's like listening to

What task?

[madblackblood]

There is a prophecy he seeks. We cannot fetch it for him; it can only be retrieved by whomever has been prophesized about.

[east_darkhorse]

And what's the prophecy about?

[madblackblood]

We don't know, that's why we need it.

There is little pleasant here, at least until he goes off to work and there is quiet.
