ENDLESS JOURNEYS (O/A)

[Nova Blancke]

Like Trinity Nova sat down at the table and he had to admit that the steak looked great. Though he would have loved nothing more than to dig in he had his manners. Which included waiting till everybody is seated. But that could take some time with Alec still being upstairs.

"Come on Kerana, Alec will come down shortly."  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Alec slowly stepped downstairs, the book clutched firmly to him. He sees Kerana standing by the steps. He hesitates momentarily, but continues down. He quietly steps down beside and regards her shyly with a, "Hey."

emotion_omnomnom Trinity's hunger over took her as she revealed what practically looked like a small feast which looked like it consisted of a Cornish game hen, a few rolls of bread, and a salad. She ravenously tore into the chicken leg and dug right in not waiting for anyone else to start. Even though worked for royalty apparently she did not learn the etiquette, aside from that being on the run for years meant you've got to eat while you can. With her mouth full she managed to get out "So... you had... something... important to ..." she swallowed and drunk some water "discuss with us?" she continued nibbling away and paying attention.  

[Nova Blancke]

Nova was simply stunned by Trinity's behavior. He couldn't help but laugh a bit.
"Someone's hungry." Unlike Trinity Nova's behavior was a lot better. It helped a lot that he had a fork and knife.

"Ahh yes..about our next course of action. Because we do need a plan since we are dealing with something on national scale."  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Alec's grip tightens a little bit around the book, as if to reassure himself of his decision. He nods with an awkward smile and says, "Yes, we do."

He strides down the stairs and to the table. He then moves behind a chair and slides it out for Kerana to have a seat. She wanted to talk, and this made him feel both better and terrified at the same time. But for now it is business as usual.

Alejandro Inazuma

Along with everybody else, he made his way to the table and sat down. Unlike most refugees, Alejandro ate with some manners, kinda like Nova. But even with these manners, he ate with appetite. He would every now and then take small glances around the room, kinda like a bad habit. He also studied in his mind their current location, the many exit ways and more. Never know when it would come in handy.  

[Nova Blancke]

"Yeah, I just hope we only need to purify one Mana Well instead of all of them. Finding one is just as hard as finding something out of a myth. Nobody has found it yet but there are clues. With the right information I will find it." Nova explained as he folded his hands and leaned his chin on it.

"So I shall explain about the Mana Wells. It is one of the most promising theories about where Mana comes from. We believe that they were created by an ancient race long ago. So long ago that their existence went from a tale, to a legend, to a myth and finally to something that is just lost during the course of time"

"They constructed the Mana Walls to let out of the life force of the planet, Gaia as they called it, to use it for their own needs. Because you see, long ago there was no magic. In many layers of earth you can find Mana Crystals but at a certain point you will not find any. The only logical conclusion is that Mana did not exist back then." Nova took a small pause to let the information sink in a bit

"I believe that the only way the Necromancer can truly taint these lands is by destroying the balance of Mana that comes out of those Wells. I still hope he has only gotten to one yet. Each Continent has one. Luckily for us, ours should be close by. Well....relatively close."

Alejandro Inazuma

Alejandro's head perked up slightly. "I think I've heard of something like that in the myths and tales the old folk taught us back home. When it was still there... They explained that one day, as an old chief was flying overhead, he saw something unusual. Something out of place. They said that when he approached this to investigate, the chief was slowly feeling as if he had just been rejuvenated by some godly power or something... He then later returned, telling all who would listen about this... Well. The myth continues as if anyone who could find these wells could be granted eternal life and/or power. I was taught that my village had been built close to one, that was why we always had good crop and fertile ground." He explained. He tried to remember more, but that was all that came to mind. But he then remembered that he had an old notebook with possible sketch's of what it might have had looked like, and possible locations. But, this was only possible information, nothing was spot on. "And I think I might have a clue to where we could find one. If you could all wait here for a moment please." He continued as he stood up and walked to his room.  

[Nova Blancke]

"Heh...eternal life isn't what you think it would be.." Nova softly muttered to himself as he continued to eat. He was however pleased to hear that Alejandro might have been on to something.

"There's a folklore class these days? They split up History Class or something? But it could be true. I've never studied the leylines myself. I find them to be a bit vague and hard to find."

Alejandro Inazuma

Alejandro walked into his room and searched in his small bag for the note book. After a bit of rumaging, he found it near the bottom. And sure enough, there was a whole 15 pages dedicated to the finding of the well, some possible images of it and more. He quickly ran down the stares and sat down at the table. He opened it to the first page of the mana wells and past it to Nova. ''I don't know how acurate it is, but it should help shed some light on the situation.'' He said.  

[Nova Blancke]

Like a child who had just received a new toy he began to read. No, to be more accurate it would be filtering. Within no time he was done. The pictures of ruins caught his eye. He believed that the wells would be underground.

"And you say that your village was build close to it? It makes perfect sense that the soil would be top quality because of it. I believe that we should head for your village and search for these ruins in the area. Thank you Alejandro, this has been most helpful"  

[Kittyusha]

Alejandro Inazuma

Alejandro nodded. "Glad to be of assistance. I remember the way back no problem. Once we are done here, I'll lead the way." He replied. He never really expected to ever head back to his village, let alone with none Valkyrie people.
