"How strange."
Where could the Spirit of Destiny have gone? As far as he could recall, she couldn't stray far from the River of Destiny. So she shouldn't be able to go very far.

It responded by activating at that moment.
'Are you aware of what is happening here? The Spirit of Destiny has strayed from its mission, and the River of Destiny is in chaos. It seems things aren't going very well in your world.'
The Essence seemed to let out a long sigh of helplessness and responded without words, through pure feeling alone.
[The Hall of Elders and the Supreme Castle must have forcibly altered the Spirit's mission, directly affecting the river. There must be interference from some being beyond this plane.]
