Rising higher

[Anastasia]

Thus you and Xandra gets together in the courtyard. Grias works in the background, resting on Wood's back as the dog moves about on his command. He's seeing to refugees as others help out, an organized chaos all about.

"You wish to see the path that presents itself before you?" Xandra asks. "Wise."

[Nephrite]

"It hasn't failed me yet to seek advice on how to progress." Moore says. "Maybe I'll even learn that last secret on how to utilize the Words of Creation." A smile and a bit of a laugh.

"Still, though..." He frowns at the blood ruby as he tries to avoid holding it too close. "I want to do right by whoever or whatever had to be given to this thing."

[Anastasia]

"Then shall we go?" Xandra offers, looking upwards.

[Nephrite]

"Let's see where the path leads us." Moore agrees as he starts up!

[Anastasia]

You begin to fly up - and barely make it far at all until you see it. A familiar face lingers on a cliff, tossing stones down. Calley is there and looking right at you as you ascend.

[Nephrite]

Moore breathes in through his nose. "I'd ask if he has guardians keeping an eye on him, but none of them could probably actually keep up with him even if he did."

Against his better judgement, Moore flies over to greet him.

"I find it ironic that I spent a lot of time trying to track you down, only for you to show up all of a sudden in front of me." Moore says with a smile. "Xandra, this is Calley. Calley, Xandra."

[Anastasia]

"Hi," Calley says, giving Xandra a look before he tosses another stone down the cliff. "That base isn't as big as the other places I went. Is it nice inside?"

[Nephrite]

"It's still growing." Moore says with a small shrug. "It's cozy inside. You're welcome to stay there for a while if you'd like, as long as you promise to behave yourself."

[Anastasia]

"I'm just thinking," Calley says, looking down towards your fort below. "Would Mom have been happy if she if she was down there?"

[Nephrite]

Moore hmms for a moment. "Not to toot my own horn, but she and I did get along rather well. I think she'd like to be able to spend time being a regular person and not a hero."

[Anastasia]

"I did not know your mother, but anyone can find happiness in Celestia if they are willing to walk the path to it." Xandra speaks up.

Calley hums and throws another stone down. "Good for her," he finally says.

[Nephrite]

"We're about to go on a bit of an adventure of our own, would you like to join us?" Moore asks.

He glances over at Xandra with an apologetic smile.

[Anastasia]

Calley shakes his head, "No thanks. I don't think you'll find what you're looking for I'm in there."

[Nephrite]

"Fair enough. Like I said, you're welcome to stay here for as long you want." Moore says. "No pranks, though."

He smiles and glances upwards again. "I'm on the path to finding her, just so you know." with that said, he starts up!

[Anastasia]

On you fly and...

Any goal or just looking?
