I think you can skip this set of tasks and join back on the next if you need to...."

Thanks Angie. :)

Lol it's actually not the poor book's fault, I've just been really exhausted and the only time I have for reading is late at night. But yes, I'll definitely be taking a break for now.

🌘 Quest 2G: The Whispered’s Shadow

Premise
The veil is sealed, but The Whispered does not let go so easily. Each of you carries the scar of the pact — and each scar manifests differently. Shadows coil in your thoughts, temptations gnaw at your choices, and the godling’s laughter echoes when you close your eyes.

The mark binds you as a group, but how you wear it is yours to decide.

📚 Tasks: The Ripple of the Whispered

1. The Scar Burns
📘 Read a book with a cursed or branded character.
The mark is more than a reminder — it is a wound that does not heal.

2. Twisted Reflections
📘 Read a book with a mirror, doppelgänger, or shadow-self.
You glimpse versions of yourself that are not entirely yours.

3. Tempting Whispers
📘 Read a book where temptation draws someone from their chosen path.
The Whispered is always in your ear, offering another way…

4. Unseen Strings
📘 Read a book where hidden forces manipulate events from behind the scenes.
Whose story is this now — yours, or the Whispered’s?

⚖️ Personal Choice: Bearing the Scar

Each Wyrm must decide how their mark manifests:

1. Embrace the Shadow
📘 Read a book where a character turns corruption into power.
You let the scar fuel you, wielding The Whispered’s gifts openly.

2. Resist the Chains
📘 Read a book where willpower or faith defies darkness.
You fight the pull, even if it costs your sanity or strength.

3. Bend It Back
📘 Read a book where a trickster or manipulator is undone by their own game.
You play The Whispered’s own game, scheming to twist the pact against it.

✨ End Result: The team will finish Quest 2G with four scars worn in four different ways (or overlapping choices), shaping how each Wyrm interacts with The Whispered in the next quest.

I happen to be reading a book with a doppelgänger. Would it be okay if I took that one?

Okay by me!
