Forever lies ahead

[Anastasia]

It takes just about an hour until you are pulled by Honeydip from the celebrations. "May we go somewhere private?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa grabs a drink to go and teleports them to her study.

"Make yourself comfortable."

[Anastasia]

Honeydip alights on your desk, sitting on the edge of it.

"The Queen chose not to answer my prayer - it is my choice, no matter her desires." Honeydip decides.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa smiles, "As it should be. What's your mind on this?"

[Anastasia]

"I'll join you." The answer's simple, quiet. "Once, I fought for a long time until unexpected heroes came and lead to our triumph. One point of that has stayed with me since them - you may not be known or expected, but you may be the hero of this story and not even know it."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa raises an eyebrow, "I've read a lot of books, and made my way from being the daughter of a blacksmith to being a goddess. I'll assure you of this, if nothing else: Every story has more than one hero, and everyone is a hero in their own story.

We can add you officially joining us as part of the celebration, but I want you to do something for me. I want you to think on what you want to accomplish for yourself. Really think on it. We work towards everyone's goals, whether they be lofty, personal, or small victories. Tell us what you want to accomplish for yourself, and we'll do what we can to make it happen.

But for now, celebration!"

[Anastasia]

Okay, celebrating aside, what's your next move here?

[Iron Dragoon]

Well, that was a big one, so... A couple smaller ones for a break. We can do the Solitary Mistwalker guy and contacting the Knights of the Corals to see if we can set up trade and stuff. I'd like to have some stuff happen with realm development, too.

[Anastasia]

Sure ,choose one and we'll start with that.

[Iron Dragoon]

Corals.

[Anastasia]

Sure, what's your move there?

[Iron Dragoon]

Just research for now. IIRC, it was just a rumor/lore thing from a piece of loot I found that was interesting.

[Anastasia]

Sure, find out the lore/rumor, repaste it and give me an K:P check.

Gwinnan's Travel Logs, Volume 6: Water.

Gwinnan is a traveling elf, taking in the sights of the planes by his magic and his wits. This book touches on the basics of Water, information that can be found commonly in various ancient tomes. However, there is one tidbit in particular that is of unusual interest.

"In the many marid cities I visited, none were so enthralled me as the Knights of the Corals. These marid breed chaos-blooded sharks as mounts, trained to specialize in what they call the Tidal Waves - great charges of hundreds of marid knights. Moreover, they claimed to craft superior lances from coral to lead these charges. Aghast at such shameless thalassophilia, I scoffed at these claims. The knights mocked my scorn and drew their lances, then one threw it through the water. It traveled faster than if through air and pierced the sedimentary stones behind me. Wondrous things indeed, as they claim the lances are harder than adamantine!"

[Anastasia]

Coo, so gimme the check now.
