"W-what are slaves?" Sarah asked meekly, she had a feeling she didn't want to know, but she knew she had to.

"Slaves are... people who are forced into manual labor. Some civilizations used slaves as their own property, using them however they wished. Slaves couldn't leave or protest against their ownership; they were treated like animals, all for their owner's personal gain," Luna sighed.

"I-I see...." Sarah said trying to take it in.

"The king conquered many lands in his life but he grew melancholy in his old age and sought a power to extend his life and empire, he invaded the kingdom of the dark ones and stole their power, a crown that granted it's wearer power of primal magic and beasts. But soon after his land fell into chaos as a deep fog engulfed the land. Well that's the legend anyway." Reva leans forward a little as she finishes.

"Fascinating tale, Reva." Prospero said. "How did you learn of these legends?"

Sakura Leic · **Reply #680 on:** September 01, 2014, 05:08:05 AM

"So he sought to make people suffer for as long as possible....." Sarah stated still clinging to Prospero.

(I don't understand that first part of Prospero's dialog, is that a mistake?)

Phi · **Reply #681 on:** September 01, 2014, 05:16:56 AM

(It is indeed a mistake. Just like you calling him "Prosperi" just now.)

Protoman Blues · **Reply #682 on:** September 01, 2014, 05:19:17 AM

(Fixed)!

"These old tales have been passed down in my family for a long time, when I was a child dad would tell me of the old kingdom; guess I always felt drawn to this place growing up."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #684 on:** September 01, 2014, 05:40:23 AM

Sarah felt a little disturbed by Reva's words, she really had no idea how someone could be drawn to such a horrible place out of curiousity.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #685 on:** September 01, 2014, 05:42:27 AM

"You must tell me more one day!" Prospero said intrigued. "For now, what's the plan?"

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #686 on:** September 01, 2014, 05:53:30 AM

"Once we escape we should head to the temple, I can use my emblem to open it then we can decide our next destination."

(Okay last post from me till I get back, sounds like you'll post filler till I return then we can move the story forward?)

Sakura Leic · **Reply #687 on:** September 01, 2014, 05:56:50 AM

(Wait so we rest before heading to the temple?)

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #688 on:** September 01, 2014, 06:03:20 AM

(Sounds like it)

Sakura Leic · **Reply #689 on:** September 01, 2014, 06:06:34 AM

(Okay then, thanks for the clarification.)

"Before we do I think we need some rest." Sarah stated as she let go of Prospero with her eyes still red. "Considering your leg is still not healed and I'm still reeling a little from electrocuting myself."

Protoman Blues · **Reply #690 on:** September 01, 2014, 06:12:47 AM

"Rest sounds good!" Prospero said. "I need a bit of meditation myself!"

Sakura Leic · **Reply #691 on:** September 01, 2014, 06:14:30 AM

"May I join you, I need to calm my mind down." Sarah admited.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #692 on:** September 01, 2014, 06:23:41 AM

"Absolutely!" Prospero stated. "Come, fellow adventures. Let us make camp!"

Phi · **Reply #693 on:** September 01, 2014, 08:55:11 AM

"That sounds like a plan," Luna nodded.

She looked towards Sarah, "Are you sure you'll be alright?"

Sakura Leic · **Reply #694 on:** September 01, 2014, 08:58:15 AM

"I...I think I will." Sarah nodded "I just need to take my mind off it for a bit."

Phi · **Reply #695 on:** September 01, 2014, 09:01:34 AM

"I understand. I'll be close by, if you need anything," Luna smiled.

In the meantime, she decided it would be best to gather firewood.

Fxeni · **Reply #696 on:** September 01, 2014, 11:51:25 AM

Freyr merely looks at the proceedings in silence. It'll only get worse from here on out... I hope she can handle it, Freyr thought to himself as he went off to find some food.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #697 on:** September 03, 2014, 07:34:51 AM

Sarah was sitting next to Prospero trying to meditate while Yin was resting closeby wearing her unarmored attire. Try as she might she couldn't clear her mind and concentrate when her mind was a torrent of fear, distress, and unanswered questions.

Deciding that she couldn't successfully meditate she sighed and looked over to her senior and marveled at how concentrated he was.

"It's amazing how he can be so calm and concentrated despite his strageness, supposed insanity, and lecherous nature. I still can't believe how serious he is when it comes to the arcane arts." Sarah thought to herself "To go this far for magic, to journey to a place that no one has ever returned from is something I don't quite understand. I can understand Luna's reasons for being here since her's was similar to my parents on a larger scale, but Prospero's and Reva's reasons are something I can't help but be confused about."

After a while, and perhaps against her better judgement she decided that if she couldn't meditate she would at least try to expand the vast knowledge she desrately needed.

"Mr. Prospero?" Sarah asked hesitantly not sure if he could hear her "I'm very sorry to disturb you but may I ask you something?"

Protoman Blues · **Reply #698 on:** September 03, 2014, 07:52:57 AM

"What troubles your mind, young one?" Prospero answered, knowing she was clearly upset by something.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #699 on:** September 03, 2014, 08:07:56 AM

"I guess many things really." Sarah sighed "I can handled the fear that I had back there, I had many near death situations while training and I've stayed the night in many a dark cave where adventurers met their ends. But there's just so many things I don't understand or trouble me, like why do people need slaves, and why was that 'arena' place a place of entertainment to watch people slaughter each other be slaughtered. How could a man like the King of Zepter be so evil and greedy that he would want eternal life to expand this 'empire'?

Then I keep thinking about my parents, could they possibly be alive or am I truely just deluding myself, if they are alive what horrors have they faced and where could they be?

But I suppose what really bothers me is why would someone like you or Reva risk your life on something like this? Why journey to a place that no one has returned from for something as far fetched as lost magic that may be to dangerous for man to learn or just proving that the legends are true? There's just so many things I don't understand."
