Declan Gregory
POC
Declan found himself serving Soren and Gokul in short order. Waiting on the elderly was only polite but only when he stood from offering his friend a warm drink did he frown and think twice of the situation.
As he poured his own tea, he remembered that Soren was demanding sometimes. He didn't imply arrogance. It simply was his nature.
Gokul spoke with a heavy, smoky accent in the way of someone who learned English later in life. "Because man-young. We not can use it. It old ways. Old metal. From shrine of god of the Lake."
He reached under his shirt and pulled out a long, metal chain that to Declan appeared to be crafted from bronze alloys. But dangling from the chain was the Saṃsāra, an Indian symbol of reincarnation that Declan knew better as the Endless Knot.
"Ancient souls use it. The Ancient soul who wakes guardian of lake."
Declan was used to speaking with obscure tribes foreign with English. He knew what Gokul meant. He turned to Soren to elaborate. "Only someone that rouses the beast can use the symbol. Many tourists have been to the lake over the years yet none disturbed the beast until Noah and us."
But just because he explained didn't mean he understood how an amulet was going to help them against a very real monster.
