Emancipation

[Anastasia]

"The gratitude of a deity is accepted," Zonnas says agreeably, if visibly tired, yawning after. "There's a lot of different work there."

[Corwin]

"I believe it is time for me to get going, then," Seira voices, "and allow you to rest properly. Ah, entirely randomly, would you have any insights into Dispater and Dis?"

[Anastasia]

"I avoid devils," Zonnas says right away, "You live longer that way and your soul stays brighter."

[Corwin]

"A very admirable approach! If only we all could do the same."

[Anastasia]

"If only," A twisted little smile at that, "Too many forget or are lured in."

[Corwin]

"I'll stop by again! Though I'm always happy to host as well, if you two are ever in the area."

[Anastasia]

Good to wrap that angle up here, then? If so, next move?

[Corwin]

Since I'm in Celestia anyway, let's stop by Dynosys, Authority of Pilgrimages.

[Anastasia]

Sure.

As you go out?

Seira!

[Corwin]

Gond? Sure sounds like him!

That's me! What's up, did Emily finally stop by?

[Anastasia]

Tell me, has Elle ever dabbled in anything besides pure magic item creation? I sense her creation of a powerful item and her potential is impossible to ignore.

[Corwin]

As a matter of fact, yes. Would you like to stop by and visit with her? She would be quite honored to discuss such matters with you!

[Anastasia]

I believe I will! That ring and that crown are both worth my attention: Expansive, ambitious and expensive.

[Corwin]

I'm glad to hear it.

Seira's Avatar will return to the Cauldron to show Gond around, while she will go seek out the Authority in person.

[Anastasia]

Either path is valid here, so which do you want to focus on?
