Apollo walked through the area enjoying the building and atmosphere the place offered, he was reminded of his time in Joya where his father took him and had quite a fun adventure there. His reminiscing however was cut short when he found himself in front of two groups of people arguing, they all had symbols and talismans and trinkets on them, no doubt the groups that he was told to take care of. He had seen those charms around the area as he had seen similar ones when he visited Joya, approaching the two groups that were now arguing loudly he wished to know what the matter was. After being told about each group’s beliefs -which he was aware of already- he stood silent for a moment lost in thought and after a few comments about his intelligence by some of the shamans he smiled and told them to follow him. Both shamans and monks were confused as they had no idea really about who he was or what he even wanted but followed him nonetheless.

He took them for a stroll around the alley asking them to feel the energy in the air, to feel the kind of magic that was moving about, they sensed each other’s flow of magic but not really much else, no malevolent spirits or other sources of energy. He then took them to one of the talismans much to some of the shamans’ disapproval and told them to examine the talisman closely and carefully, several of them said that they couldn’t feel any kind of magic coming from the talisman and that it was actually quite curious as to how that was possible. He then asked a monk to draw the same talisman and recreate it, as he then spoke the words the talisman’s magic sprung to life but only for a moment and then they couldn’t feel its energy again. The shamans started talking amongst them and wondering as to how that was possible, Apollo reached for a book inside his bag and gave it to them with a note on the appropriate page.

A tome that explained how these charms would be used as barriers shielding the magic inside and keeping magic from entering, and it would also work on any malevolence that would try to enter, of course if the place hadn’t been cleansed any ongoing malevolence would be shielded inside with the people so what they should do instead of arguing about the charms is to go through with a cleansing ritual to rid this place of spirits and then the charms would be able to protect the area. Both groups agreed it was worth a chance and worked together in harmony to purify the place enhancing the charms with each one’s magic as well. Peace and quiet returned.
