Ahead lies the great light that...

[Nephrite]

Do I think there's anything I can do to prevent this from happening? I mean, besides... you know, leaving.

[Anastasia]

Not offhand - if the spiritual circle isn't going to hold, the entire thing probably is a one way ticket a  wound otherwise.

[Nephrite]

Then there's nothing to it for now,  but he won't give up on trying to find a solution to this - again.

He will return to Hope's Landing and put on his ring from Illsenine!

'Illsenine -- I apologize, I hope I'm not interrupting you. I need you to come to Hope's Landing as soon as you can.'

[Anastasia]

'It is no trouble,' Ilsenine says, 'Are you well, Moore? Are you hurt?'

[Nephrite]

'I am not in any danger at all.' Moore replies. 'You will understand when you arrive, I promise.'

[Anastasia]

'I will be there as soon as able,' Ilsenine sends back.

[Nephrite]

Moore will simply wait, then! He's in no particular hurry.

[Anastasia]

As you wait, Sylvie approaches. "Moore," she says as you wait in the courtyard. "It's nothing critical, but I've reviewed the information you have on that wheel."

[Nephrite]

"Got some ideas on where we need to go to find them?" Moore asks as he turns to her.

[Anastasia]

"A few," she says, "It can wait, we have bigger problems, but I have ideas."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Please keep me updated, then. Actually... I have something I'd like your help with. You may know this, but when we saved Lifasa, those of us involved in the ritual were... connected to that place. It seems that my divine nature overcomes that connection. I'd like if possible to... still be able to walk that place, and I had had some success with a spiritual wounds circle using my blood. If you have any ideas, I'm all ears."

[Anastasia]

This gets Sylvie to look ahead a time, lost in her own thoughts.

"Do you know why the Prime gets spiritual wounds?" She asks at last.

[Nephrite]

"Not from a fundamental level." Moore answers. "I understand the basic concepts, but not the advanced ones."

[Anastasia]

"The Prime and mortals are meant to be transitory. Temporary. You could call it a gaming board constantly washed anew, if you're uncharitable," Sylvie goes on, "By its nature, the Prime is temporary and the Outer Planes are eternal. Both planes are build to hold and maintain what they're meant to, and the simple truth is that souls and spirits in the Prime are usually caged and rarely of great power."

[Nephrite]

"I think Lifasa is a bit of a special case, then." Moore says with a smile.
