Impressive... just like in the old days. They built this temple to earn my forgiveness.
But they forgot — not everything is about walls.
KeeperDid you regain enough power?
Yes. I regained it even before the ceremony. Your own belief in me was enough.
Still... I must admit, the ceremony was rather pleasant.
KeeperI'm glad you liked it. Now tell me more about those six people.
Simple. Just go to them, and ask for their help activating the magic portal.
You might offer them a wish from the portal as payment. That usually works.
KeeperYou said you'd help me convince them.
And I am. I'm quietly removing their last doubts. But the final step is yours.
Those six
KeeperCan you tell me who those six are?
You really don't know? I thought you were an experienced Keeper.
KeeperI just want to be sure.
Yes, yes... better safe than sorry. Six sins ... six people.
Linda, the owner of the Dockside Club. Albert the doctor.
Agatha the nun. Herbert the guard.
Gunter the... PR manager. And Jack the craftsman.
KeeperBut there are seven stones... who activates the last one?
As far as I know, that always happens rather mysteriously. Someone appears at the last moment.
I suppose it's meant to teach a valuable lesson.
KeeperWell... you are a god after all.
I have some questions.
You know, I once knew a man who went mad from having too many answers.
I like you, and I don't want to see you go mad... So you can ask two questions.
How did you become a god?
Tell me about portal.
Your sister
Keepers and the old contract
What powers do you have.
Why do you need the red eye?
How did you lose your eye?
Someone not very bright decided to punish me, using the power of the portal.
But instead he only cursed himself.
Though to be honest, being locked up with all that cheese was not very pleasant.
So I suppose I was punished after all.
That happened many years ago... When I was young. Younger than you, actually.
I loved reading history and fantasy books.
I was a dreamer... and through those dreams, and a bit of bad luck, my sister and I ended up here.
There was nothing here but a portal in the void.
It seemed ready to grant our wishes. So I created this world.
I never asked to become a god... but I suppose this is how you become one.
There's not much I can tell. It was already here when I arrived.
It grants wishes when activated.
Though it tends to twist them in rather awkward ways.
She is... or was... a wonderful girl. She loved nature and animals.
While I was building my little empire, she spent her time with the trees and the rabbits.
KeeperI met her. She seems a bit lost now.
Truth is, there's not much excitement in simply observing nature.
After losing oneself in it for so many years... of course one can become a little strange.
At some point I grew bored with this place.
I decided to travel to other worlds for a while, just to see what things were like elsewhere.
So I came up with a clever plot twist.
The idea was, I'd leave someone from the real world here in my place.
Someone with free will, to keep things running.
A new god... a Keeper. You were all just meant to be my temporary replacements.
But somehow, all of you managed to disappoint me. Too much free will.
Not you though. You're a decent Keeper.
Oh, all the usual divine powers... lightning bolts, thunder, dramatic entrances... ha ha.
Just kidding. My real power is my imagination.
Making things up.
And my eye helps me see interesting ways to bring those things to life.
I used to believe in my own power...
But now I rely on other people's faith in me.
I told you... It helps me. It reveals what is hidden.
It brings ideas to the surface.
KeeperBut it also gives you magical power, right?
Not exactly... it's more like a curse.
But I found a way to control it... and even enjoy it.
Behold! I sensed my new residence was ready, so I arrived.
KeeperFollow me, I'll show you to your attic.
LarryPsst... I saw him hiding in a nearby bush for quite some time.
KeeperBe careful with the stairs.
KeeperIt's quite a lovely place here for you to stay.
Yes... to be honest, I haven't had a home for a long time.
And this place reminds me of my summer vacations when I was a child.
KeeperI'm glad you like it.
I hope you don't snore.
KeeperNo, I don't. Now that you have a place to stay, tell me more about those six people.
You just need to ask them for a favor... to help you activate the magic portal.
You can bribe them with promises of portal wishes.
KeeperThat sounds like a decent plan.
Exactly. Repair the portal, convince the six... and don't forget to invite me!
After all, you'll still need me to perform a small trick before you can make proper wishes.
KeeperNaturally... you wouldn't want us doing it all without you.
The six
Yes, a god living in your attic.
KeeperI spoke with them. They're all willing to help me.
KeeperBut something's still holding them back.
I told you... they have to be one hundred percent on your side.
KeeperBut I don't know what else I can do for them. They all seem pretty settled now.
Yes, trust requires time. You'll just have to wait.
And perhaps, one day, your skills will be great enough to help them.
KeeperI see... then I'll keep improving my skills.
Or... you could just give me back my eye, and we skip this slow part.
All you'll need to do then is fix the portal. With my red eye and a snap of a finger...
Whoosh! Wishes granted, world saved, and so on.
KeeperYou really want your eye back?
I'm used to its power. It took a long time for me to learn how to live without it.
Honestly... I'm a little afraid for you.
KeeperYes, I know... it gives me bad dreams.
Keep the eye
Give it back
LarrySo, how's our ancient god doing?
KeeperYou know... he actually seems like a reasonably nice guy.
LarryStill, it's strange having a god living in your attic.
KeeperA talking skull is strange too, but I got used to it.
KeeperWhat bothers me is the red eye. I don't feel comfortable having it.
LarryThen give it back... or give it to me, ha ha.
KeeperAnyway, right now I need to talk to the people who can help me activate the portal.
LarryGood luck with that. It's not something you ask every day.
KeeperExactly... they'll need to trust me completely. I'll need to pick the right moment to ask.
Six characters
Oh, thank you. I was starting to think you were one of those cautious types.
It feels wonderful to have my eye back.
KeeperYou said things would go faster with my friends once you had it back again.
And I am a god of my word.
Go speak with those six again. With my blessing, I'm sure things will go smoothly.
KeeperAlright then, I'll just keep doing my work.
Why not, if you like it so much.
