Endless rise above

[Nephrite]

"I can enlist Sylvie to help, she's probably just as familiar with all of this as Afina was, so we don't have to bother her." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

"Then get going! Do it!" Elena commands.

[Nephrite]

"This is going to take some time, so you'll need to be a bit more patient than you're feeling right now." Moore says with a small smile. "Let me go and get what we need and I will come back."

He will go back and check on Synic first. :)

[Anastasia]

Okay. Give me a d100 real quick.

Thus you return back. You find Synic at rest in one of the rooms in Hope's Landing, helmet off. His hair is long and bone white, expression tired. He's awake though as Jetina sits at his side.

[Nephrite]

"It's probably going to take you a while to fully recover." Moore says as he enters and moves over to fly next to Jetina. "But, nonetheless, welcome back to the world of the living."

[Anastasia]

"I owe you two great debts - for my life and for my mind," Synic answers. "It has been...a very long time for me."

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles. "I'm just glad we were able to separate you from the wyrm and put it to rest, hopefully forever." He says. "Please, take all the time you need to recover. I'm sure someone in Creation will be very happy to have you back. Did you serve any particular deity? I can let them know you're here if you'd like them to visit."

[Anastasia]

"Tempus," Is the answer, "Not yet, I'll go and present myself when I'm ready."

[Nephrite]

"Of course. You are welcome here as long as you need to be, and are welcome any time if you wish to return." Moore says with a nod.

"Oh, I had meant to ask, and now is as good a time as any - who is Aphrodos?" He asks. "It was a spell you had on you and the name didn't ring any particular bells. Actually, a lot of your magic was very impressive - but you probably already know that." A small chuckle follows. "We'll have to take some lessons."

[Anastasia]

A twist of his lips before, "An old friend, long since passed even in my time."

[Nephrite]

A solemn nod. "I understand. Is there anything I can get for you for the time being?" He asks.

[Anastasia]

"My time magic...I lost it. Why can't I remember it?" he asks, "I had it before, long ago, and now it's gone."

[Nephrite]

"Oh... my." Moore says.

Wow, he really is old.

"That's not my place to explain, but it's something to do with something called the Temporal Contract, which you apparently predate." Moore says. "I imagine Tempus can explain it in full detail, or else one of the members of the Compact will do so."
