Ahead lies the great light that...

[Anastasia]

I will. Oh yes, your first time starting one is a magical time. Also full of more mistakes than a paladin who visits a tribe of necromancers.

[Nephrite]

I am certain I will have a great deal of learning to do. Please feel free to come visit anytime you wish, that invitation extends to the others as well.

Assuming nothing else here, he will knock on Brightwater's "door," with the intention of speaking to Lliira.

[Anastasia]

Another new one? Moore of Aurora? No, two new ones - Villisa's child!

Waukeen, I greet you anew. We seek Lliira.

That just won't do at all. Come in, we absolutely must talk right away.

[Nephrite]

Moore isn't one to turn down Waukeen, so he enters along with Cresiel!

[Anastasia]

It's raining?

It's raining gold. Literal gold coins rain all around you and never touch you. All about you are pure white clouds, you stand atop one. From them coins rain down, each one a gleaming speck glimpsed. Here, on a padded throne sits Waukeen, watching the steady rain of wealth. She rises just as you appear, walking atop the cloud as of it was solid - and it is solid for your feet as you stand here.

"You skipped a step," Waukeen notes, "Cresiel did not, but you did. How interesting."

[Nephrite]

Moore offers a bright smile. "The wisdom of Celestia extends to many unseen paths, one just has to be persistent enough to find them. I believe this is the first time we've spoken directly, Lady Waukeen; it's a pleasure and an honor to be in your presence." Moore says, offering her a polite bow of introduction. "Brightwater was always an ally to Aurora and has continued to be one during my time with Celestia."

[Anastasia]

"Why thank you," Waukeen smiles, "Now I had my suspicions that they had plans for you, but you, Cresiel? I don't think your mother even suspected!"

Cresiel merely inclines his head deeply before, "The mysteries of Celestia are deep. This was not an honor I sought, but one that was an unexpected turn in the path." A moment's pause, "Is she home? It would not do for her to hear about this from another."

"It so happens she is. Go." Then Cresiel is gone with Waukeen's words, leaving you alone with the Goddess of Trade and Wealth.

[Nephrite]

"I can't say honestly I ever expected what's become of me." Moore says. "But sometimes, the best way to learn something is to be thrust into it directly. Still, there's a great deal of things for me to learn and mistakes for me to make."

Another bright smile after that. "I am hopeful, nonetheless, that Brightwater can aid me in some of that."

[Anastasia]

"There you go, already making alliances," Waukeen flashes you a smile, "You are a child of Aurora."

[Nephrite]

"I understand the realities of give and take." Moore says. "Even in Celestia, which provides everything we need, I understand that generosity is something one must be willing to undertake. There is really nothing 'free,' at least as it pertains to this sort of thing." Moore says.

"With that in mind, I would formally like to request that I be allowed to spread word of my doctrine and worship within your borders, Lady Waukeen." Another smile follows his words.

[Anastasia]

"A reasonable request, considering the cosmopolitan nature of Brightwater," Is the answer, "Though there's relatively little open preaching of other faiths, though many others are tolerated and even have churches here."

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles. "I would appreciate the opportunity to at have a church here. Perhaps the most obvious way for me to do this would be if I were to simply tell a story somewhere and let those then spread word of it? Of course, that story would include how indebted I am to Brightwater." Moore beams at that. "I remember I gave a bit of a rousing performance some time ago about Benfal, I don't think I ever did the same after Lifasa."

[Anastasia]

"Of course," Waukeen smiles right back, "Well, once you have those matters moving, but once they get moving they usually take a life of their own."

[Nephrite]

"Oh yes, of that I have no doubt." Moore says. "I'm not sure what the expectation on my end is, but I have no doubt that we can reach a suitable agreement, even if it's something as nebulous as a favor owed. I am certain Sisatar would vouch for me." Another smile after that. "I certainly have my own hopes to continue, as well as improve, our relations with Brightwater."

[Anastasia]

"I'm sure we can do that," Waukeen says, "I also believe you have someone else to meet here?"
