Glorious Home

[Nephrite]

Moore looks around as they continue to fly along. "Is there any particular starting point that you'd suggest?"

[Anastasia]

"Let's go down and ask around," Xandra suggests, "We will see wonderful things as well. Empyrea is a city of healing. The fountains here can cure many maladies, while great hospitals are tended by healers, priests and celestials. Raziel himself visits the hospitals to aid and see to the worst accursed wounds." AS she speaks, you see her face is radiant with the reflected light of Chronias, descending down to the city. "Those that fight in Celestia's armies can come here for treatment. This is where Cresiel took the Sharran hostages as well."

[Nephrite]

"Did I ever tell you I briefly met Raziel?" Moore asks as they start going down. "He was present at a battle in the Astral we were a part of. I actually met Vlaakith too, although I didn't really have a lot of, uh... words with her."

[Anastasia]

"BE thankful. Many do not survive meeting a being like Vlaakith," Xandra observes, a slight sigh. "Not to belittle you, I merely find the gith queen worrisome. She is far too entrenched and accepted, if only to prevent greater evils from moving into the Astral Plane."

[Nephrite]

"She offered to arbitrate a meeting we had with Hell to rescue one of our comrades, too." Moore says. "It's an interesting political game she's playing -- I imagine she's trying to build up capital so she can move on certain things without being accosted from all different sides. I suppose one could argue she's perhaps mellowing out somewhat, but I think that's likely wishful thinking."

[Anastasia]

"A snake waiting to pounce and strike," Xandra says, "Though your hope does your spirit credit, even if I fear reality will dash your hopes against it."

[Nephrite]

"I'll just have to hope harder, then." Moore says as he continues along. "Still, it's good to keep her in the back of our minds, as our work may inevitably take us nearby something she's responsible for."

[Anastasia]

From there...

Plans here?

[Nephrite]

Start asking around if anyone's familiar with the name Jetina -- we'll go from there.

[Anastasia]

Diplo check for GI.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 78.

[Anastasia]

It is a city of shining stone and fountains, of broad walkways and pine trees. It is a city of calmness, of serenity matched by energetic soldiers. The air is cold yet all the buildings are warm within, even if no fire or hearth can be seen.

Eventually, you end up in a restaurant. The food is free, plentiful and hearty. A meal to rest and gather your thoughts, and when you happen to mention it to the waiter who brought your foot over, "Oh, Jetina, I know her," the man says, a gold-skinned humanoid, no wings. He wears simple, plain clothes, a worker's clothes.

[Nephrite]

Moore perks up at that. "Can you remember within what context? I'm looking for her, actually."

[Anastasia]

The man smiles - he has a nice one, you idly note. Brown hair, nothing special there, unfortunately. "She came by...a month ago? Something like that. She mentioned she was getting a meal before heading out of Mertion."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Any chance you happen to remember where she said she was going afterwards? If not, it's not a big deal." Moore blinks, then realizes something.

Even if this person doesn't know, he does have magic that would let him see what happened here a month ago... provided that it works in Celestia, anyway...
