The first peaceful day

[Nephrite]

"I thought as much..." Moore murmurs to himself. He flies along, knowing that he will find his own answer here. Ultimately, what is a true name? Is it the name your soul is given at its creation? Is it something more? This, he ponders.

[Anastasia]

"I knew my old true name, before I changed," Antenora's voice echos in your mind and on the breeze, as you begin to flutter along.

[Nephrite]

How many times has he changed? That's probably the root of this, isn't it? Who was he before he was the Moore who is Moore?

This, he ponders.

[Anastasia]

You flutter along and feel something. A lick at your hand, Wood on his hind legs to get to your hand, licking it once and trotting along with you after.

[Nephrite]

"He really likes dogs, doesn't He?" Moore says as he gives Wood a pat on the head. "Are you here to guide me?"

[Anastasia]

A single woof at that, Wood trotting along now.

[Nephrite]

Moore will follow along!

[Anastasia]

Give me a Wisdom check.

You wander a time...but end up following Wood more and more. His tail wags as he leads you along, some instinct telling you to follow him. You find yourself letting him lead the way - if you want to, a moment where you muse perhaps it's best if you go on your own instead.

[Nephrite]

There is a time and place to go things alone — but the Holy Mountain shows you what you need to see, even if you don't know what it means.

For now, he continues to follow Wood, knowing that there is a reason.

This, he ponders.

[Anastasia]

The Moore that is not Moore.

Who was that?

Does that matter to you now?

Questions pass through your mind as you fly on. Ahead you can see the fog is clearing. A rather plain, simple building is here, atop a rising slope. It's all simple stone, hewn just enough to work for what it needs to be. A fenced compound with a gate leading inside.

[Nephrite]

That Moore, that is Not Moore...

He can't find Himself without finding the ones that Aren't.

He reaches for the gate to head inside this simple place.

The Him that is Not Him, yes, he has to answer that too.

This, he ponders.

[Anastasia]

A whine. Wood stops here and doesn't go in, in spite of the gate being opened.

[Nephrite]

Moore turns to Wood and smiles. "You've never led me wrong before, so I'm not going to second guess you now." He says, as he waits to see if Wood moves or just stays there!
