"We definitely ran into a situation that could've used your expertise." Moore says. "But now we need it even moreso."

[Anastasia]

"Go on," Xandra invites.

Expo away.

[Nephrite]

"We need to find something to be able to talk to the Hecatoncheires." Moore says. "Some way to communicate to it without it flying into a rage... or some way to mitigate the rage. There has to be something in Creation that can do that."

[Anastasia]

"You need someone to talk to it who doesn't enrage it," Xandra concludes.

[Nephrite]

"Easier said than done." Moore says. "What does your insight say about who we might know who has the ability to do that?"

[Anastasia]

"Someone who has taken a Vow of Peace would be the first step," Xandra declares, "Someone who is not divine, someone who is beyond conflict as much as possible."

[Nephrite]

"Perhaps Pistis Sophia would know of someone... or Eldath." Moore says. "But it's a start."

[Anastasia]

"Start there," Xandra agrees, "Both are good suggestions."

[Nephrite]

"We may as well start in house first." Moore says. "If anyone would like to come, you are welcome."

He's going to head to Solania! This isn't something he wants to do remotely, so he may as well go directly to the source.

[Anastasia]

Walk me through your entire plan real quick?

[Nephrite]

He's going to Solania, and he'll either go to where Pistis Sophia usually resides, or wait for her to show up in some capacity. In a sense he's knocking on Solania to let her know he's there but not calling her from where he is.

[Anastasia]

Okay. Xandra will go with you.

You find yourself in the misty valleys of Solania. The air is crisply cold and the light is as bright as ever, the fog here not enough to stop it.

Go ahead.

[Nephrite]

"We're not here wandering, we have a purpose, so let's proceed." Moore says - still, even with that, he just heads forward - as much as forward has any meaning here. "It's been some time since I came here..."

[Anastasia]

"When was the last time?" Xandra asks as the two of you walk ahead.

[Nephrite]

"Remember that mysterious old man that showed up in Hope's Landing?" Moore asks. "I think I went over this, but that was Medi. I came here just to... validate what my heart told me about who it was."
