Ahead lies the great light that...

"To be, I am, because I am and will be?" Tepen muses.

[Nephrite]

"That isn't a bad way to look at it." Moore says with a smile. "If you don't mind me turning this around for a moment, how's your most recent guest doing? The, ah... amalgam. Has it taken a name of any sort yet?"

[Anastasia]

"Not yet," Tepen responds, "It's, ah..." He hesitates here a moment, "One part impossibly insightful and the other part impossibly naive."

[Nephrite]

Moore chuckles at that. "I understand. I'll have to come by and visit it... at... some point, when my presence won't cause further issues. I doubt walking Lifasa will be as simple as making up a new spell now, unfortunately. I had hoped that my bond with Lifasa could overcome it, but... well, maybe it's possible in time, but I wouldn't want to cause the land any problems."

[Anastasia]

"Do you think you'll manage it soon?" Tepen asks back.

[Nephrite]

"I don't know." Moore admits. "I was thinking of trying something with blood again, but... well, I understand that that's something that... was a bit of a catalyst for Seira and Alicia's own adventures, and I'd not wish to inadvertently cause a catastrophe over something I'll one day be able to deal with through something like an avatar. Still...  maybe I can figure something out someday."

[Anastasia]

"Ah, you don't have an avatar yet?" Tepen asks, "Is it difficult to make one?"

[Nephrite]

"It takes time." Moore agrees. "Honestly, for all that I'm feeling like this is a 'natural' thing, there's an awful lot one has to be taught."

[Anastasia]

"We do have to learn how to walk and talk," Tepen muses, "Both of those are natural things that we do." A longer consideration, "As are so many things inherent to us."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Yes, I think it's something similar. Honestly, I wonder if there's anything that deities can do that they've never considered... one never knows that something is possible from the impossible until it suddenly is, you know?"

[Anastasia]

"Or they die trying," Tepen quips with a little smile, "Example one though is true: Aurora."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Yes, agreed. I never expected my time there would have become so much more, but I hope I can continue to be an ally to you and to them."

[Anastasia]

"That shouldn't be a problem," Tepen muses, "I'll have to come back with a list of questions - I have so many but I need time to organize them."

[Nephrite]

"You and yours are always welcome here." Moore says. "I owe my life to you all, after all."

[Anastasia]

With that Tepen goes off and with all of that on your mind, you...

Next move?
