Dimensional Descent

The word "Oracle" in the Rapax language was not quite a noun. It was more like a cross between one and a verb, being used to refer to action just as much as it did a noun.

Many words in the Rapax language were like this, making it quite confusing to read. It was like constantly describing people by what they could do rather than who they were. Like always calling a person a "soccer player" because they played soccer, as though they didn't have a name of their own.

But this was natural in their culture. That was because they respected what you did far more than who you were or who you might be related to.

As such, they never referred to this person by name, but it was clear and obvious who they were referring to.

At the same time, it also made one thing stand out to Leonel... and that was that this title was being passed along again and again. In that case, could it be that what they called Oracle was their translated version of Wise Sea Order?

When Leonel pieced this together, he also came to understand something else.

He had already concluded that the Barbarians were almost certainly acting for the sake of raising their station in Existence to Godhood.

In that case, was it a coincidence that the Sea Gods happened to share one of the core abilities of the Barbarians in that case?

Not just this, but it would also explain several other things.

Why did the Sea Gods suddenly attack before his rain plan could take full effect? How was Sashae so decisive? How had the Sea Gods appeared here in the Rapax Domain right before he had been set to arrive?

He had already learned from Dreadmaw that their arrival was not even more than three days ago. They had all this time to establish a connection with the Rapax and only just managed to capitalize on it?

Could it be that his feeling was correct? That feeling of being watched, or at least that he was being outmaneuvered on several fronts?
