They had travelled so many leagues with each other. Whether it was at a high velocity in the Ifrit or on the roads of Ivalice, the group had always been together in some capacity. Never were they without each other and never were they far from one another. Even if continents separated them, there was always this fabric in the air that connected them through the bonds they had formed. It was an inseparable bond that, unlike most, would last a lifetime.

And yet, as Wesley had often glanced at both Emiri and Grant, he felt like this was a brand new adventure. He had went on voyages with them, sure, but it was always with the other three alongside them. This was perhaps the first time that he had actually went on a separate expedition with Grant and Emiri only. Usually, the two were with Savayna and Jaakuna respectively, so it was a bit of a surreal moment for the Dalmascan King-to-be. Part of him obviously missed his beloved, but there was this other part of him - the adventurous part within his soul - that was absolutely adoring this new experience. It not only gave him what could be his final chance to spread his wings before settling into his role as king, but, at the least, he’d be able to get closer to Emiri in ways he hadn’t been able to.

So he was now fully-committed to this little exploration that all of them were indulging in. whcih, as they came to a waystone that seemed to have a variety of selections, Wesley’s eyes lit up much like how Nadeline’s would’ve if she saw all of the options. [color=fff79a]“How intriguing,”[/color] Wesley mused, leaning forward as he moved closer to the waystone. He did his best not to touch it, but that didn’t stop him from inspecting it as close as he could without activating it. [color=fff79a]“It appears these inscriptions are lead to several different areas.”[/color] Wesley mused, looking at each, though, through his natural curiosity, he happened upon the seventh one. 

As he would go to read it, Emiri had seemed to activate it before he could, thus revealing its words to her. When she spoke about what it said, it was a library. WEsley, at that moment, found this too ironic. Nadelien would’ve killed for this finding. And yet, as Wesley looked at the other two, he couldn’t help but also be curious about this library. As intriguing as the other sections were, the library had appealed to him most. Though, when he thought about it a bit more, perhaps what Emiri said was the truth and that it was only a viable option for members of Utena. And as far as Wesley could remember, neither Wesley nor Emiri nor Grant were part of Utena’s ranks.

[color=fff79a]“I suppose we’ll have to find something else to explore.”[/color] Wesley said with regret. 

As he walked away from the waystone, by a complete accident, he touched the edge of it. Though it wasn’t his intention, the stone would glow brightly, surrounding the three in its light. Before either of them realized it, they had been transported into a dark room that, as soon as Wesley had turned around, trying to gain a perspective as to where they had been transported to, light suddenly illuminated from the darkness, revealing towering shelves of books. 

[color=fff79a]“Well, I suppose that’s one way to travel.”[/color] Wesley admitted, laughing somewhat absentmindedly. His eyes had wandered from the gaze of Grant and Emiri and in circles at the many shelves. Among the awe he was feeling, there was also a newly-found shock as he noticed there wasn’t a single member of Utena in sight.  [color=fff79a]“That’s weird, it seems we’re alone here.”[/color]

What a time it was to be alive. Jaakuna had no idea what sort of adventure that Emiri and the others were having, but there was quite the sight to behold as he, Savayna, and Nadeline, the three of the group that were the most likely to get into trouble, had, as Nadeline blurted out perfectly, hit the jackpot. In front of them, as it was obvious to all three blondes, all along the walls from the ground that they had their feet planted on to the ceiling, weapons of all kinds rest upon racks. There were all kinds from swords to daggers to bows and crossbows; guns and bombs; lances and spears. All of them were arranged by their type, size, and..and..

[color=ed1c24]“Wait a minute..”[/color] Jaakuna approached it, [color=ed1c24]“no fucking way!”[/color]

[color=lightblue]“What?”[/color]

[color=ed1c24]“Nadeline, come here!”[/color] JAakuna practically dragged her by her lanky wrist. [color=ed1c24]“Up there at the top. Isn’t that the Zodiac Spear?”[/color] He asked. His eyes had lit up with such a sparkle that Jaakuna was going back and forth, looking at all of the weapons.

Meanwhile, Savayna couldn’t do much but just roll her eyes, though she leaned to Nadeline.[color=lightblue] “I swear, any time he gets near shiny toys, he’s like a freaking child.”[/color] She said, sighing, [color=lightblue]“should we do something?”[/color]
