Temporal pixies

[Anastasia]

Any of those are possible.

Keep me informed of your quest.

[Nephrite]

An affirmation to that.

"I have another idea." Moore says. "Keep studying for now."

He goes off to find Sylvie!

[Anastasia]

Sylvie is found with Kaja and Calley. The latter has two wooden scimitars in hand, flowing through a basic practice. The two watch as Calley works in the courtyard, as you can hear the wind carry the noises beyond the gates of Hope's Landing proper.

[Nephrite]

"I have a hypothetical question." Moore says as he flies up next to Sylvie. "If you have a moment."

[Anastasia]

Sylvie nods and flies off with you a bit, distance before she asks, "Yes?"

[Nephrite]

"Hypothetically." Moore begins, "Could there be anything in that realm between here and the Beyond that you didn't put there?"

[Anastasia]

With a moment of divine will for privacy, "Anything's possible," Sylvie says, "I wouldn't put it past the Incarnations to have something there I missed, but that's not what you're talking about. You're guessing that the Empty Knight is there," she goes right on, "He's outside of systems, so the symmetry and logic of that appeals to you. The archons are rubbing off on you." A ghost of a smile, just a moment, cocky and sure. "I'd guess against it but not rule it out, though I doubt he'd fool 21, but it's possible I missed him, or it, or whatever the Empty Knight is. I think it's a good idea, but wrong because it feels a little too pat and like your mind is establishing a pattern."

A pause here, "We do that, even the most chaotic of us. Our minds naturally make patterns and draw meanings from events, no matter the veracity of them. "

[Nephrite]

Moore lets out a hearty laugh. "I don't think you have to worry about lawful Moore anytime soon, but yes, you have the right of it. I only ask because Mystra herself was sure we'd come across him as we went through and found the other pieces of what is now Will." He says. "There's no harm in searching there, but do you have any suggestions of where else we might try, or other ways we might try and find them?"

[Anastasia]

"Try having Will message him with an item of sending," Sylvie considers, "That may get results or at least a reaction."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "It's worth a shot." He says. "If that doesn't come up with anything, do you mind making a trip back there? We may as well bring everyone in case we run into something unexpected."

[Anastasia]

"I don't care, but I'm not sure it's worth the danger," Sylvie points out, "More in case something powerful pays attention to it, but I'm not sure anything does."

[Nephrite]

"All right." Moore says. "I'll let you know."

With that, he heads back to Will and produces his Sending Stone that he hasn't tried to use in a long time.

"I'd like you to try and use this to contact The Empty Knight." He says.

[Anastasia]

"How?" Will asks, "I do not have a hand."

[Nephrite]

Moore presses the orb onto the pillar that makes up Will.

"This should suffice, I'd think." He says.

[Anastasia]

Thus the orb is absorbed. Will is silent for a time.

"Understood," Will speaks aloud, "It is a success."
