Diplomatic aftermath

[Anastasia]

Lady Sanzha's reply is to laugh, "Let Donald stay here and play general."

[Corwin]

"No need. He'll come with me, then, and Elle will go with you. My avatar will be enough to hold down the fort."

[Anastasia]

Any prep or ready to go off?

[Corwin]

My usual travel spells on all of us.

[Anastasia]

Donald is with you as you part ways with Sanzha and Elle, the two of you together. "So, Ben-Hadar's realm," he asks, "Heard the coral's nice there."

[Corwin]

"Let's form entirely new impressions! Why stay beholden to the past?"

[Anastasia]

"Rebirth and renewal," he asks, "With Amaryl rising and now Antenora, I've been thinking of what I'd be if I ever made it that far. Renewal's a nice one."

[Corwin]

"You could minor in Luck, while you're at it," Seira adds with a grin. "I'm hoping Sanzha takes the leap next, but after that it's a race and you've got a head start on Elle."

[Anastasia]

As Donald waits for you to portal the two of them over, "Imagine," he says with a grin, "So many people trying to live up to my example and act like me."

[Corwin]

"We've all come a long way, you included," Seira tells him warmly. "I don't doubt some struggling would-be paladin will draw inspiration and heart from your tale."

She transports the pair of them afterwards!

[Anastasia]

You appear in a great coral reef above the water. Rainbow colored coral is all around you, walls of it rising and paths through it all about. It's in three dimensions, hardened coral beneath your feet and a path ahead. In the distance you can glimpse water to the left, sparkling clear and bright.

[Corwin]

I can't recall if we have water breathing, but we have water breathing.

Seira tries to figure out where to go from here. Ben-Hadar wouldn't actually stonewall an ally, would he?

[Anastasia]

I assumed that went without saying for Donald, and it's not like you need to breathe as a deity.

The maze twists and twists and twists. It's quite complex, but your superior intellect allows you to see the way is ahead and upwards for now.

Well, that and the pulse of divine power. The colors shift and change, growing deeper. Colors that you've never seen before, purples beyond purples, a red that is also dark blue at once, something between red and orange that is wholly original. What's more, you sense who it is, utterly unhidden.

Renbuu's power affects the reef, flowing freely.

[Corwin]

Ben-Hadar is hosting Renbuu as a guest. Seira just floats there for a few moments absorbing that, and then she's off towards that pulse of divine power!

[Anastasia]

As you go, Donald calls, "So what's all this about?" he asks, "You got the funniest look on your face."

Meanwhile the maze shifts around you, a rainbow of color and light. It's generally twisting around and around, requiring constant and fast reactions. Fortunately, your divinely enhanced agility is sufficient to manage it without difficulty.
