[Text] A Mysterious Message
[They hadn't been back in Haven long before the dreams came. Whether they were warnings or threats was hard to tell, but the foreboding nature could not be missed. The third time Drift woke from them it was certain, a thing not to be ignored, and after finding Vector Prime those fears were confirmed.]
[It was like the last piece of the puzzle falling into place, the strike of a match. Wing and Drift had been gone out in the wastelands for months, but they'd only spent the first portion of that time celebrating their union. The rest was putting a plan into action: a hidden retreat, a sanctuary, not as plush as the Haven but very likely safer. They'd made certain of that.]
[They just didn't think the time would come so soon that they'd have to use it.]
[But it's not just for them. Any peaceable individual deserves safety and sanctity. So before they go on their way, leaving Haven behind, a message, a cryptic riddle, left for those who might dare to unravel the mystery and seek out a similar way of life. There's no real time for goodbyes, but this, they can do.]
[If a cunning individual deciphers the clues and goes to the small crystal geode cave near Solus' Temple (the same one where Drift and Wing were united as conjunx endurae) and is patient enough to wait for what is quite likely a long time, at a certain time of day when the light strikes a certain crystal a message--laser etched into the crystal--will be reflected onto the floor. Included with it is a rough map to the general area of the next clue.]
[Private to Barricade and Ambulon]
As you might guess, we're leaving Haven. Change is in the wind and with threats inside and out, Haven is not safe the way it used to be. We're choosing our own way. We'll make our own place and take care of our own.
If you want to joins us, follow the clues. Strike out to the south, beyond the lake at Alpha Trion's. If you need it, there's a map in the geode cave, just be patient and you'll find it. It's a long trek, but keep your bearing and ping this [short band frequency] once an hour. You won't find us. But we'll find you.
But no matter where you are, please, be safe. If there are others you know who want to truly move on, to start new, tell them. But be warned, old allegiances must be left at the door. We must be as one.
[Private to Blurr, Kagerou, and anyone else considered Wing's or Drift's close friend.]
Take care of yourselves.
((ooc: This is a prelude to the Pillar event and is the narrative for Wing and Drift's endgame. They've left Haven for good, created their own neutral, safe sanctuary where there is food and shelter, and will continue to build on it. They won't reply to this post but feel free to post reactions, threadjack and discuss. Going forward, any character wishing to drop the game may leave Haven by choice and go in search of this place as an alternative to the Badlands (mod approved).))

A shadow falls
with weight and consequence
ware the needled stretch of its darkness
changing all it touches
a haven's beacon dims.
A twinned flame bound by steel and spark burns
as once deep under sand,
kindles brighter, in hope to warm
the sparks of the weary seeking solace.
Inside the crystal spark upon which light shines
near healing's refuge
a patient and earnest seeker can find his way.

Life persists
far beyond placid waters
'Lo a light on the horizon
southerly flickers, should only the dedicated find
Peace in your heart? Have sanctuary.

[He sighs, a little sadly] I will... miss you both. But perhaps this isn't the end. I hope you find what you're looking for, and I hope we may cross paths again, especially if you can lead us to a better place. I'll pass the word along, too.
I'm not going to stop you; you do what you think is right, and best.
Just... take care of yourselves out there.
