The assault on Salty Pier

[Nephrite]

"Thank you. If you ever need anything from us, I'm sure you can find the base." Moore says.

He will go with Jetina into the archway!

[Anastasia]

Inside is a room of gold and stone, a path leading inward. The walls are full of murals, if you care to look, or you may merely follow along.

[Nephrite]

Moore will look at the murals as they go to see if they have some sort of theme (like Rebirth?) or perhaps tell stories of individual rebirths -- something like that.

[Anastasia]

You look at the murals and they twist before your eyes.

A pixie, awakening in a land of light with a few others. New born and yet old, adjusting as a talking cat - !

This looks rather familiar.

[Nephrite]

Moore glances back at Jetina. "What do you see?"

[Anastasia]

After a slow, thoughtful pause, "Women giving birth. You?" Jetina says.

[Nephrite]

"So it's different for each person... interesting." Moore turns and will continue down. "I think each one of these shows a history of the individual who watches them, or periods of their rebirths. Something like that."

[Anastasia]

"I'm seeing boys AND girls being born," Jetina says, "So that doesn't fit."

[Nephrite]

"That's really weird, since all I saw was me waking up in the Lost Realm." Moore says. "Oh... oh, I know why. I think. Maybe. Weren't you... born there? I guess we can keep watching, except we're both definitely seeing other things."

[Anastasia]

"I was," Jetina says as she watches the images, "Did you just...? Again?"

[Nephrite]

"Huh? Did I what?" Moore asks.

[Anastasia]

Jetina considers, "Never mind," she finally says.

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "All right. Well, we can ask Raquiel herself what these show." He says as he turns to continue along.

[Anastasia]

You walk on. On and on and on, past the paintings and to a winding stair. Here a bald, slender human awaits - yet angelic wings rise from his back. "Duke Moore," he greets you, "Thank you for Lifasa."

[Nephrite]

Moore raises a hand in greeting. "It was a collaborative effort. Nonetheless, you are welcome. Were you a native?" He asks, a glance at the wings briefly -- he asks the question in a manner that would imply the obvious, considering this person is not currently on Lifasa!
