Felix strolled over to a rock protrusion that looked like a bench carved from the rock wall, perhaps it was a bed or just a chair, and sat down. Felix unsealed the Manaegis helmet from the locks on the neck plate and placed the helmet to the side. He then turned his head and gaze towards the shackled Nemo. 

More memories flashed of the powerful Nemo, and his agile fluidity and ferocity in battle. The only thing that kept Felix from certain doom was the combination of his large mana well, and his proficiency with Manalysis in combat. Even now feeling the mana waves, Felix could feel the ferocity of the deep hunger that Nemo's spell style- No, his entire being exuded. Nemo was the most difficult fight Felix had ever experienced. 

"That's quite a compliment, coming from someone of your... capabilities." Felix responded. 

Felix looked down for a moment and began chuckling. 

Felix, thinking Nemo might have been a bit confused by the outburst decided to explain himself a bit. 

"Out of all the people in the world that could have ended up on written down on the parchment of my fever dreams, it had to be the one woman who I screwed over more than anyone, and the man who slayed scores of my comrades in front of me." Felix finished with another genuine chuckle. 

Felix willed his breastplate to hinge open and he reached into his robes underneath and procured the parchment he was speaking about. He then willed his breastplate back together again and stood up, walking toward the shackled criminal. He knelt down and handed the parchment to Nemo.

"Two weeks ago, I was at a summit. One major article that was brought up was a rejected motion brought up again. The motion was to search for the Paragons. Great relics of power, that when combined would bring forth power beyond anyone's wildest imagination. Maybe you have heard of it?" Felix cleared his throat and continued. "Well the new papal-magi who is part of the First Company, an order of Jesuit Magi, accepted the previously rejected notion and put it as top priority. That very same night, I had a dream, or maybe more accurately a vision. In the vision I was shown many horrible outcomes to befall the entirety of the world. I was told by a ethereal voice that in order to prevent these catastrophes, i was to assemble a group of guardians to track down the artifacts before anyone else does. When I awoke I was sitting at my desk, and that-" Felix pointed to the parchment Nemo was holding, "was in front of me, written in my handwriting. A list of names of guardians that I need to assemble. Second on that list, was your name."

"I don't know the reason behind your name being on the list. Perhaps whoever or whatever sent me the dream is aware of your power and thought it would be a good idea to utilize it. Or perhaps they are giving you this task as a form of penance for your crimes. Either way, if there is one thing that I am certain of, it is that in the underworld we operate in, there is no such thing as coincidence." Felix finished, standing back up. 

"So will you rise to the occasion? If you say yes, and swear by it, I will break you free and we will be on our way." Felix stated
