It being built by the gods and the like?"[/color] [/quote] [color=#00ff00]"Gods?"[/color]Akio let a bit of the firmness leave his voice as he walked. He was tense and didn't particularly trust his new companion, but there wasn't any need to illustrate this fact further. Besides, Akio trusted nobody until they proved themselves worthy of that respect. He deeply sighed and continued speaking, cautiously, but less harshly. [color=#00ff00]"I don't know very much about your gods, or the legends that surround this place. I've heard of a few in passing, but even still... I think that cities are built by the hands of mortals, sometimes to respect 'gods', but not by the immortals themselves. The stories are just that. Stories."[/color] Akio slowed his pace to allow the man to walk beside him, not just to get a read on him, but to make sure he wouldn't stab him in the back. [color=#00ff00]"Tell me, why did your friend enter this place? What could he hope to gain by walking the abandoned alleys of a city such as this?"[/color]
