"I do not have all the answers. You will find that explanations are not easy to come by in the realm, Sarah!" Prospero stated while walking over to her. "For some, the knowledge is the journey. For others, the journey is simply that. A journey. A journey of discovery, whatever or wherever that may lead. If one is not willing to risk it all for whatever they believe in, then there's no point in doing it."

"I see...." Sarah said not quite sure she understood what Prospero was saying "So this is just another journey for you?"

Protoman Blues · **Reply #702 on:** September 03, 2014, 09:03:42 AM

"For me, yes. When you have as much time as I do, the journey is the most important part of living." Prospero said.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #703 on:** September 03, 2014, 09:06:23 AM

"But what about your home? I know your mother has long since passed, but surely you must have a place with people worry and care about you don't you?" Sarah questioned him.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #704 on:** September 03, 2014, 09:08:53 AM

"Not really, no. I'm not really good at attachments. I've made friends here and there along the way, but it's not easy making attachments when you know you're going to live longer than most people you come in contact with!" Prospero answered.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #705 on:** September 03, 2014, 09:11:07 AM

"Live longer? What ever do you mean, are you not human?" Sarah asked him.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #706 on:** September 03, 2014, 09:16:11 AM

"I am human, no worries!" Prospero stated. "However, my mother blessed me with both eternal life & eternal youth right before she died!"

Sakura Leic · **Reply #707 on:** September 03, 2014, 09:23:37 AM

Sarah's eyes widened at what he just said as she was in shock yet again. It amazed her that his mother knew such powerful, and likely forbidden magic. This was exactly what the King of Zepter desired so much above else and Prospero just so happened to inadvertently obtained it. Thouh unlike the King, Prospero at least wasn't a greedy warlord, which gave her some relief.

"Is that so?" Sarah said not trying to hide her astonishment "If you don't mind me asking, how old are you right now?"

Protoman Blues · **Reply #708 on:** September 03, 2014, 09:27:33 AM

"Hahahaha, I've kinda lost count really!" Prospero amusing said. "When one is immortal, you tend to lose track of these things. If I were to guess, I'd say somewhere between 200-300 years old."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #709 on:** September 03, 2014, 09:33:20 AM

"My master said the same thing, he said he was somewhere between 500-1000 himself though." Sarah stated "Now I'm starting to understand why you never mentioned your father or something like that. Though if you don't mind me asking....have you ever regretted that you have this gift?"

Protoman Blues · **Reply #710 on:** September 03, 2014, 10:21:00 AM

"Sometimes, yeah." Prospero stated. "Mother was always over-protective. Otherwise though, it's not that bad at all!"

Sakura Leic · **Reply #711 on:** September 03, 2014, 10:24:30 AM

"Somehow that was the answer I expected, of course my master said the same as well." Sarah stated "It's why he lived a hermit's life. Though now I feel a little more confused than I was before."

Protoman Blues · **Reply #712 on:** September 03, 2014, 10:29:37 AM

"Hahahaha, your master's mother was overprotective as well?!" Prospero quipped.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #713 on:** September 03, 2014, 10:32:53 AM

"I believe so due to his strange mixed heritage." Sarah nodded "But that wasn't the point I was making, he was a recluse because of his lifespan and mixed heritage."

Protoman Blues · **Reply #714 on:** September 03, 2014, 06:38:34 PM

"Well, I am many things. But I'm certainly not a recluse!"

Sakura Leic · **Reply #715 on:** September 03, 2014, 06:43:14 PM

"You certainly are not, which admittedly I am surprised about and glad about." Sarah replied.

((Back from camping a little later than I thought, when everyone is ready to continue I'll post up the escape from the fortress and the adventure can start up again))

Phi · **Reply #717 on:** September 07, 2014, 08:04:58 PM

(I'm ready.)

Mr. Haxwell · **Reply #718 on:** September 07, 2014, 08:40:04 PM

(I might be ready, but it's getting late for me, so...)

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #719 on:** September 09, 2014, 05:59:04 PM

((I'll assume everyone else is ready to go as well))

Some time passes and Reva's leg begins to heal thanks to the cure spells, the group begin to search for a way to escape the fortress. A door leads up into a guard tower and the party is able to activate the mechanism to raise the gate, thankfully they suffer no further attacks from the beast men and manage to escape into Zepter proper.

The trip down the main road is uneventful, however it's eerily quiet with no sign of anyone not even wildlife or roaming monsters, and while the fog seemed to only be a barrier between Zepter's borders it continues to block out the sun. After two days of walking the party notice a massive temple appear on the horizon Reva assures them that this is the temple she mentioned before they arrived. Soon the group stand before it's massive gates however unlike before there seems to be no way to raise the gates.

"This is the place." Reva runs her hand along the engraving on the giant stone doors depicting Bahamut the dragon god she begins to stare at the door almost as if lost in thought.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #720 on:** September 09, 2014, 08:15:48 PM

"Never before have I seen a door this huge." Sarah said in wonder as she pet Yin "I admit I don't know too much about this Bahamut other than being king of the dragons and haveing powerful magic itself."

Freyr looked up at the giant doors. He recognizes the emblem, but chooses not to make any mention of it.

"How shall we be getting in?" he asked, looking around.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #722 on:** September 10, 2014, 02:41:08 AM

"Meh. I've seen bigger!" Prospero quipped!

Sakura Leic · **Reply #723 on:** September 10, 2014, 02:47:44 AM

Sarah silently prayed he meant doors.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #724 on:** September 10, 2014, 05:12:11 AM

Reva continues to stare deeply at the dragon engraving seemingly oblivious to the party's conversation.

(I'll wait for the others to catch up before we move on)
