Location: Actium[/center]

Luca nodded at Sarai's introduction; he had studied under a monk from Light of Man for a time when he was first learning to channel the Raven Queen's power. The man had been a rare visitor at the temple, which was usually shunned by those who did not understand the goddess' relationship with death and fate. He was about to comment on this when Sarai's eyes met his and she suddenly brought her hands to his face. Eyes widening and lips parting in surprise, he starts to pull back but finds himself held in place by the intensity of her gaze. When her whispered words reached his ear, he gasped softly.

[color=silver][i]How...? What...? Impossible![/i][/color] Only then did Luca recall his lessons, and closing his eyes for a moment he opened his mind and senses to the current of magic around him. There were two things he noticed immediately. The first was that Pyria, for all her slender form and girlish bluster, had an aura of immense and undefined power that seemed completely inexplicable. Secondly, he noticed that Sarai's aura had elements that were strikingly similar to his own. Trying to sort this out, he misses his companion's reply entirely. After several long seconds however, he provides his own answer.

[color=silver]"I left my temple seeking to be part of something greater, and so the opportunity has come. I plan to join an expedition leaving for the Dark Tower as soon as possible that this curse may be ended. So many lost souls wander the Iron Coast, denied my Queen's embrace. However... with this storm coming I was planning to remain here and gather supplies today and tonight, and then make for Campus Magnus in the morning. Provided no such groups can be found here, of course."[/color]
