Gorgah Guardian of the Arc (#4171)

Owner: 0x6B6f…f103

Hope Before Fear

Guarding the Arc was a privilege for Gorgah. It didn't matter to him that his fate was already sealed to protect the Arc for the rest of his life. What mattered most is ensuring that the he kept Goblins and Kobolds far away from here. After all, Gorgah swore an oath to his master, Wizard #1234, that he would seek to protect. Hope before Fear, he would hear his master mutter to himself countlessly throughout the day. Upon swearing the oath, Wizard #1234 provided Gorgah with Prism Armor, which allows unescorted entry to Hue Master Pass and the Arc itself.

Gorgah couldn't get a recent encounter out of his mind. A very cold, but nice wizard by the name of Wizard #6136 was passing through and all but payed no attention to the beautiful landscape of the Arc. Wizard #1234 greeted Wizard #6136 with a kindness that made Gorgah wonder if they had some history. Gorgah was tasked with escorting the wizard down toward the southern point of the Arc, to set him off toward Goblin Town. This wizard was determined to find something there, but wouldn't say what.

Upon leaving, Wizard #6136, told Gorgah "It's the journey, not the destination. I will see you again, soon."

Gorgah couldn't help but ponder this statement. Was Wizard #6136 implying that there is more to his world than protecting the Arc and serving his master? And why is he coming back to see me?

Gorgah turned back to head toward the Arc and in the distance could see commotion and a heavy, black smoke in the air at his master's residence. Without missing a beat, Gorgah used his Omega Rune to activate his Prism Armor and channeled the Arc's energy in order to quickly make it back.

In his mind he heard himself saying Hope before Fear.
