The hunt for companionship (Calleigh)

[Anastasia]

Canderella smiles sweetly, as a bit of magic cleans herself up, "Don't go playing in any thunderstorms," she says, heading on out.

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh follows, giggling in the air slightly behind Canderella. "Aw, don't take it so seriously! You wanted to leave anyhow!"

[Anastasia]

"Right," Moonlight says once the four of you are out, starting to walk. "We have our next destination. It's a decent walk, so are all of you ready, or do you want to spend the night here?"

[Yuthirin]

"We're fine to keep going!" Calleigh chirps.

The trip to Hill's Siren takes the rest of the day and into the night. Moonlight seems fine, as does Canderella. Both also fly more than they walk, while Vivantha keeps your spirits up with music. You pass near a few more hamlets, though you largely bypass them to continue on.

On a glance, it looks like any other hamlet. The moonlight would frame it idyllically, if not for rainbow light flying about. Beams of color, about a dozen feet long and two feet wide, streak about the skies over Hill's Siren. Each is one color, and there are enough to have a rainbow many times over. They're just flying around, turning the entire town into a rainbow's pride and joy.

"That's new," Moonlight says, not even breaking her stride at it. "The Dawnlord's there or one of his most powerful servants are. That's the sort of thing he'd do."

[Yuthirin]

"Rainbows!" Calleigh cheers, "I like this guy!"

[Anastasia]

Moonlight smiles as she steps forward, "Lathander rules over light in many forms. Rainbows are but one."

[Yuthirin]

"Rainbows are the best though!"

[Anastasia]

The party heads into the town. It's nothing but light - until you step in, and the sun begins to shine brightly. Night gives way to day in a split-second, a warm high noon upon you.

"Moonlight!" A man's voice, young and vigorous. "You've back already and you brought friends!"

"Lord Lathander!" Moonlight immediately kneels, "You honor us with meeting us so easily."

Vivantha quickly follows suit, though Canderella stays standing.

"You spoiled it with your prayer for this plan to work," Lathander's voice is all around you, as is his warm laughter, that makes you feel full of energy, like you just ran a race and want to run another. "Tryll, you're the motivation behind this?"

[Yuthirin]

The tiny squid on Calleigh's head waves tentacles in greeting. He doesn't kneel, but then he has no knees.

'Greetings to you, Light Upon Waves! We are indeed the motivation. Thank you for meeting with us.'

[Anastasia]

"Been a long time since I've seen an Irrigo," He remarks casually, "So this should be good!"

[Yuthirin]

'Yes. Well. Most of us are, ahem, gone. But! I am still here! With Calleigh!' Tentacles pat the courre's hair. She grins. 'We are seeking a way to become greater than we are now. Paragons, if you will. Moonlight mentioned that she almost became one, so we determined that it would be a good idea to start with speaking to you!'

[Anastasia]

"Wow! Shooting for the moon, aren't you?" Lathander's voice says, full of amusement, "Sorry Selune, didn't mean it like that," he calls, "You can be born a paragon or you can become one. Mortals are almost invariably born paragons, while immortal paragons are made. But do you know why there are paragons?"

[Yuthirin]

'Moonlight mentioned it having something to do with destiny, yes?'

[Anastasia]

"Yes. Moonlight, take them on a quest after this to make up for the information," Lathander commands.

"It will be done," Moonlight bows her head.

"There's a secret at the core of paragons, the reason they exist. Do you know why they do?" The light asks, the sunlight streaming down from above.
