Endless rise above

[Anastasia]

"It doesn't," Is the answer, "Only that it sounds like Anthem."

[Nephrite]

"Does that have any specific meaning to you, other than the normal word?" He asks.

[Anastasia]

"No," Is the answer, "I'm not certain what he's pursued. Can you describe CRIMSON to me?"

[Nephrite]

"I can just take you to it, if you'd like." Moore offers.

With that said, Moore will rise and take them both to CRIMSON!

[Anastasia]

As you rise up and walk, "What happened to you?" Makaril asks, quietly but plainly.

[Nephrite]

"That question has a lot of different answers." Moore says with a smile. "But I guess ultimately I just... grew. Aurora set me on the right path and I continue to follow what I learned there, and from Lifasa."

[Anastasia]

"You don't just grow into that," Makaril retorts, very quietly.

[Nephrite]

A snort of air and a small laugh. "You aren't wrong. I'll take you on a tour and explain what I can after this." He promises.

[Anastasia]

"Alright," Makaril agrees with that, "Then by your lead or your question."

[Nephrite]

Moore will take Makaril and Cresiel to where CRIMSON is!

[Anastasia]

You find CRIMSON is there, staring straight ahead and perfectly still as you enter.

Makaril studies it before, "It doesn't look familiar," he finally says, "Whatever it is, it isn't something I know by sight."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Got it. Well, I'm going to reach out to Lady Mystra and see if she can shed any more light on this."

He turns to Makaril. "I'll be happy to show you around now, if you'd like." He offers.

[Anastasia]

Where are you going to show him?

[Nephrite]

Just around the whole complex. He will ensure their privacy via DIVINE POWER and tell him the basic gist of the story of his ascension (i.e. secrets in Celestia, following the path that started with Lifasa's liberation and so on) but not about the seeds.
