[center][h1][i][color=tan]Old Friends[/color] & [color=a187be]New Experiences [/color][/i][/h1][/center] [hr] [Color=tan]"Orb, what did you want to tell me?"[/color] Orb zipped around her head. Lucia, with Sanya by her side, had traveled a week southwest towards the Sun Lit Temple. Her home. Things had gotten better since then, she wasn't feeling so down and was even returning to her old self by telling stories and reminiscing about times past. They joked too, as normalcy slowly returned to the two. That wasn't the only thing that was new however. She looked to Sanya, who was down the creek where they were camped, to see her friend training with [i]Sorrowsting[/i]. Something she usually did in the morning. Yet Lucia watched with curious eyes at all of her movements, the thrusting of the spear, the sweat glistening off of her skin in the morning light, the way her body mo- "Yes, the message." Orb interrupted, as he stopped in front of her face, bringing Lucia's attention back to reality. She blushed out of embarrassment, before opening her mouth to retort in annoyance but Orb beat her.. "It is from the creator, Lucia." He buzzed. Her annoyed expression quickly melted as her eyes went wide with surprise. [Color=tan]"Why didn't you tell me sooner Orb! What did he say? What did he say?" [/color]She asked enthusiastically. Runes on Orb began to glow and she heard Qael's voice. A gods voice, again. “Tell her- Tell her I hope she is doing well and that she’s happy. I’m still grateful for our conversation and I’m doing my best to learn how to care. Though it isn’t easy for a god like me. Tell her I will always listen to her prayers. Tell her I miss her and I hope I could talk to her again soon.” Lucia's eyes watered and she wiped away her tears as she happily laughed. [Color=tan]"Play it again Orb, please."[/color] she said, and Orb obliged. She listened again and could hardly believe her ears. It was both touching and a reminder that he was still attempting to care. It meant a whole lot just sending her the message in the first place. [Color=tan]"Oh Qael… You're trying and that's all that matters."[/color] she said tenderly, in but a whisper. Before looking back at Orb. [Color=tan]"Thank you Orb, I'm sorry I've neglected you of late."[/color] she said, patting him. The constrict lit up for a moment and eventually said, "You are welcome Lucia. You have learned all that can teach you." He said simply. Lucia frowned sadly. [Color=tan]"I know, old friend. I know. It feels like such a waste leaving you in my sack… I wonder if you could teach…"[/color] she looked over to Sanya but quickly shook her head. [Color=tan]"Bless her heart but she'd probably end up breaking you."[/color] she said with a giggle. The wind suddenly picked up. Like the wind of a storm came roaring. From the horizon something came charging at the two humanoids and Orb. It seemed to distort the gentle colors in the sky. When it got closer, it was clear that it didn’t distort them. It was colors violently moving in the sky and it came barreling straight for Lucia. Only when it got close, the wind died. The constantly shifting waves of color gently descended down from the clouds. [b][color=a187be]“Hello, Lucia.”[/color][/b] She could hear the shapeless mass of floating colors say. Qael’Naath wasn’t talking to her in her head now. [b][color=a187be]“It has been a long time but I’ve seen what you’ve achieved through Orb’s training.”[/color][/b] Lucia stood up in surprise. She looked up at the shimmering mass of colors and felt awe. It reminded her so much of Meghzaal that she gave pause when she heard Qael's voice. [Color=tan]"That's… You, Qael?"[/color] she asked. From her side came the dull thud of feet over grass and rock, and within a few moments Sanya stood at Lucia's side, [i]Sorrowsting[/i] leveled at the shimmering mass as though it stood a chance. [b][color=a187be]"Not entirely. What you see is merely a part of me. A manifestation I was able to send to Galbar.”[/color][/b] The words were emanated from shapelessness as vibrations upon the wind. Yet they were spoken very slowly. [b][color=a187be]“Forgive me. I am not used to this way of speaking. It has only been a few years since I and my siblings learned how to create these manifestations.”[/color][/b] Lucia blinked as she looked at Sanya by her side. She gave her a small smile before putting a hand on her shoulder and saying, [color=tan]"It's okay, we're not in danger."[/color] before she addressed Qael. [Color=tan]"All is forgiven, I was just surprised is all. I received your message. It was very touching, thank you so much!"[/color] she said happily with a wide smile. [b][color=a187be]“This gladdens me.”[/color][/b] The words echoed upon the air again. They were more strained than the previous ones. If it noticed Sanya standing by Lucia, the Winds were not showing it. Orb’s runes began to light up in various colors for a moment. Then they died down again. [b][color=a187be]“Ah…that is why you have called for me. The pupil has become a master and must now continue on her own path. Alone.”[/color][/b] [Color=tan]"Oh."[/color] she said, words getting caught in her throat as she looked to Orb, memories flashing in front of her eyes of all their training sessions, of all the anger and moments of triumph. She tried to compose herself, when she felt a hand on her own shoulder, a mirror of her own previous actions. Sanya looked at her, and then up to the shimmering form of Qael’Naath’s messenger. [color=a187be]”Not alone,”[/color] she interjected with a confident venom, even if her grip on her weapon had eased. Lucia flashed her a smile and glanced at her lips before quickly looking back at the manifestation. In a somewhat shaky voice she said, [color=tan]"I see… I… Didn't think this day would come so fast, so suddenly. Where will- Where will you take him?"[/color] she asked. [b][color=a187be]“The mate cannot understand.”[/color][/b] The words echoed through the area. The words were the only admission of Sanya’s existence. [b][color=a187be]“Orb’s new place will be far from here. This is not goodbye, Lucia. Quite the opposite. I will be watching you. With great interest. But now I must say farewell. I have tarried too long. Come, Orb.”[/color][/b] Orb’s runes flashed as it floated towards the shapeless mass. When it hung amid the colors, it stopped for a moment. “Farewell, Lucia.” With those words both Orb and the Winds of Magic shot off towards the clouds and then the south-western horizon. [Color=tan]"Goodbye…"[/color] she said long after they had gone. Then it dawned upon her what Qael had said and she turned to Sanya with wide eyes. She blushed again and quickly looked over to the camp as her tattoos fluttered. [Color=tan]"We should get going, I-I think."[/color] she said quickly, walking away. Sanya stood seemingly nonplussed for the time being, staring up at the sky and eyeing the horizon towards which the phenomenon had flown, as Lucia wandered off. She hummed a quiet and thoughtful agreement at first, and followed Lucia towards the camp, gaze still on the horizon. [color=a187be]"So, the gods walk on the ground once more. Or the sky, at least,"[/color] she concluded with a murmur, seemingly focused on her own thoughts. [color=a187be]"Do you know many more gods, Lucia? This one was the most cryptic I've met by far,"[/color] she offered with a sigh. [color=a187be]"And surprisingly presumptuous, too."[/color] She thought a moment before arriving back at camp and beginning to pack her bag. She then spoke aloud, [color=tan]”Well… Let’s see. That was Qael'Naath, God of magic. He was the one who gifted Orb to me, I’ve probably told you that before, but I can’t remember off the top of my head. He’s not terrible, just has a hard time understanding mortal life and how to care for us. I believe he’s trying.”[/color] she mused before continuing. [color=tan]”I know Oraelia. You do too.”[/color] she smiled at Sanya. [color=tan]”Then there’s… Megzhaal and Aunt Gibbou of course! Those were the only one’s I met before they left. I’ve heard of the five, of course and from distant lands, others too. Though, I’m not sure if I know their original names. I’ve noticed, as the years ago by, people keep shortening or making them longer, the God’s name’s that is.”[/color] she sat on her knees and turned to Sanya, [color=tan]”I know you met-”[/color] she began, before she cut herself off. [color=tan]”Yeah, that one.”[/color] she said softly, ashamed of herself. It was too late. She could see Sanya's expression sting with a dark and reflexive distaste, even if the dark-haired woman did her best to mask it. The mellow half-smile that followed did not reach her eyes. [color=a187be]"You can say the name, Lucia. I can take it. I'm over it."[/color] she offered with a tone that tried to be convincing. [color=a187be]"I've spoken it many times with no reply."[/color] Lucia winced as she looked at Sanya. She knew in her heart Sanya qas lying. She gave a soft sigh before saying, [color=tan]"Even if they don't respond, doesn't mean they aren't listening. Best not to say her name. I'm sorry."[/color] she finished softly. Sanya gave a small shrug in complement to Lucia's words, but it seemed as though her thoughts were elsewhere, as the woman stared quietly at a fixed spot by their camp. She eventually caught herself in the act when the silence grew too long, and subtly changed the conversation as she moved towards their packing. [color=a187be]"At least the Sun Mother seems to be everything you've said over the years. If I'm to be honest… I had a hard time believing the stories until now."[/color] Lucia hoisted her sack on her back and looked at Sanya with a grin. [Color=tan]"Have I ever lied to you, Sanya?"[/color] she mused. [Color=tan]"Now come on slowpoke we have traveling to do!"[/color] she walked over to Sanya and began helping her pack up. Sanya scoffed at the words and rolled her eyes, but when she glanced at Lucia that subtle softness that spoke of her own levity had returned. It wasn't a smile, but Lucia knew it wasn't far off. [color=a187be]"Good to see someone's in a rush,"[/color] she added with feigned frustration. Wrapping the last up in her pack, and shuffling the pack to firmly hold [i]Sorrowsting[/i] against her back, she managed a full smirk at Lucia. [color=a187be]"I suppose it makes sense; the faster we arrive, the fewer grilled snakes you need to pretend to enjoy."[/color] Lucia laughed heartily and in a sarcastic voice said, [Color=tan]"Oh you know I just loveeeee snakes for dinner. It's especially fun to pick out all the tiny bones."[/color] she began to walk up the stream. [Color=tan]"It'll be nice to sleep in a warm bed too."[/color] she mumbled under her breath.. Her travelling companion wasted no time in matching her speed, and within moments they had put the few telltale signs of their presence at the campsite behind them. Sanya followed Lucia with high spirits - as high as one could glean from the sorrowful wanderer at least - seemingly willing to put her burdens aside for the journey. Or at least, until a thought seemed to strike her, and bubbled to the surface. [color=a187be]"The mate cannot understand. Did he mean me?"[/color] Lucia stiffened her back and tilted her head to the side. [Color=tan]"Oh, I must have missed when he said that."[/color] she lied, blushing as her tattoos seemed to flutter again. [Color=tan]"I guess so, silly huh?"[/color] Sanya exhaled sharply and again provided a soft noise of derision, a silent complaint about the manners of gods, or something else entirely. [color=a187be]"Well, I'm delighted he noticed me. A marked improvement. Not a bad fate, either. Whatever the gods require, right?"[/color] Sanya mused to herself, her tone carrying that same deadpan levity. Lucia's eyes went wide at the realization of Sanya's words and she quickly looked ahead, her heart jumping in her chest. No no no! She was getting ahead of herself, it was just Sanya saying Sanya things but… Lucia glanced at her, did she actually mean it? Noticing the silence she suddenly said, [color=tan]"Yep! Whatever they require!"[/color] she quickened her pace and groaned inside her head. At least the walk wouldn't be boring, especially with Sanya by her side. [hr] The highlands sang a peaceful song as the Sun Mother dragged her sphere to its highest peak in the sky. Birdsong, the quiet rush of the nearby stream, the gentle breath of the wind. Together with the thud of their feet in the grass and dirt, and the irregular banter they shared, it created its own symphony of peace and tranquility. Wandering like this, Sanya felt, without anyone but your closest and nature beside you, this was the best part of life. They didn’t need to talk - although it didn’t hurt when they did - just enjoy the peace together. Sanya knew that Lucia felt the same. Her smiles were genuine, she was talking as much as a street vendor trying to push wares again, and perhaps most important of all; the sting and dark haze of her emotional turmoil had subsided from Sanya’s mind. The least Sanya could do was try and keep that feeling going. Ha-Dûna seemed like a bad dream, now, a place where she could leave her worries and lock them away. Just like she locked away the Goddess, her youth, the battle of Ramhome, and her days in Ketrefa. Memories to be ignored and forgotten. It was for everyone’s best. She glanced at Lucia, who seemed taken with the hidden spectacles of life around them, brimming with joy and smiling to herself in moments of thought. It made Sanya’s weary heart fill with some measure of hope. All injuries heal with time. Sanya would not let anyone close who thought differently, and as they walked along the grass-studded stream she imagined herself back to more peaceful times. The few times in her life when [i]Sorrowsting[/i] had been put aside for a few days, months, or years. It never seemed possible until it happened. Her gaze scanned for the horizon in a few directions. So far as she could see, no threats would disrupt their peace. Or so she had thought. From behind them came a large rumbling, as if the earth was trembling or a tree had fallen but much larger. Lucia yelled out of fright as she lost her footing and fell onto the ground. Yet as quickly as it came, the earth grew still, replaced by… loud panting? The pang of fear kicked Sanya’s nerves into high gear, and a rush of adrenaline shot through her body like a wash of cold water. Sanya spun around, coming face to face with the largest Leoness she had ever gazed upon. It's fur was the color gold, as well as it's intelligent eyes. It's feathery wings were enormous and easily twice the length of its sleek but powerful body. It had paws as large as boulders, that could easily kill in one hit but most curious was the halo over its head and the symbol of the sun upon its forehead. It looked at her impassively as it turned its gaze to Lucia, who stood up. The Leoness' tail began to flick back and forth as it let out a low rumbling that they could feel in the air. It wasn’t until she properly examined the scene that she realized she had reflexively searched for [i]Sorrowsting[/i], halfway having drawn it from its resting place before stopping herself. Centuries of travel had taught her not to bully Leons or even truly worry about them, and this one seemed like a particularly bad idea to irritate. Trying to still her nerves, Sanya watched the majestic beast with a mixture of awe and wariness, eyes skidding to Lucia intermittently to try and get a hold on the situation. [color=a187be]”...Friend of yours?”[/color] she managed to ask, and then finally eased her grip on her weapon. Lucia stared wide eyed before a huge grin formed on her lips. She looked to Sanya and nodded enthusiastically. She began to walk over to the Leon, saying, [color=tan]"Sanya, I'd like you to meet Eesis!"[/color] she then squealed with delight as Eesis bent down and began to rub on Lucia, who fell over due to the sheer size difference. Lucia laughed wildly as the once fearsome Leoness' demeanor turned into that of a cub's before Sanya's eyes. The leoness then knelt down fully before turning to her side, huffing and letting out a deep purr that could be felt in her chest. Lucia beckoned Sanya over as she continued to talk and pet Eesis. Sanya took a moment to rub at the bridge of her nose, sighing inwardly as she tried to fight away any residual anxiety and let her heart still. She remained in place for a time, watching the massive beast and her traveling companion play around, a sense of surreal otherworldliness capturing her in the moment as she watched Lucia smile and laugh with her gigantic animal friend. The harsh realities of the world could wait, it felt like. [color=a187be]”Hello, Eesis…”[/color] she eventually pressed out, following Lucia’s direction and moving closer. [color=a187be]”Your friends never cease to surprise, Lucia.”[/color] Lucia scratched Eesis under the chin as she spoke. [Color=tan]"I found her in the Prairie with Nisin, so long ago. See the halo? Mother created them even before I came to be. Eesis can heal things, Nisin can renew. The golden Leon's. Beautiful isn't she?"[/color] she said, looking at Sanya now. In turn, Sanya nodded, daring to watch the majestic Leoness with a respectful amount of apprehension, even if she managed to keep herself calm. Somewhere in the back of her mind, the seasoned warrior within rattled off the sheer power of such a beast, even without divine blessings. Between the size, the golden fur, and the majesty, it was a truly magnificent sight. She glanced at Lucia, who seemed to anticipate a response. [color=a187be]”Wondrous. And more than a little humbling.”[/color] Lucia tilted her head and smiled. [Color=tan]"You can touch her if you want, just let her sniff you first. I promise she won't bite. Probably."[/color] she teased. [color=a187be]"Alright…"[/color] Sanya agreed with a hesitant tone. Her gaze found Eesis' head, and took a slow step towards both Lucia and the Leoness. Her hand stretched out slowly, carefully, halfway in both offer and cautious effort. The stir in her gut reminded her of when she was a child, that childish fear and fascination of the unknown. The Leoness lifted her head to Sanya. Massive orbs gazed upon her with impunity. There was a brief second of silence before Eesis moved her snout closer to Sanya and sniffed her. The Leoness then nuzzled Sanya gently, blooming a fascinated small smile on Sanya's lips. Lucia beamed, [color=tan]"See! I knew she'd like you! This is great, now we can fly without any trouble."[/color] Lucia said, hugging Sanya from behind. [Color=tan]"Oh I should ask, have you ever ridden a Leon before?"[/color] she mused. [color=a187be]"Have I…"[/color] Sanya began and immediately trailed off. The smile of a dark-skinned man flashed before her eyes. Her own embarrassed laugh as he helped her up on a Leon. His strong grip as he pulled her out of the grass after she fell off. What was his name, again? How long ago was that? [color=a187be]"...No. Not really."[/color] she offered with hesitation, shaking her thoughts away. [color=a187be]"Wait. [i]Fly[/i]?"[/color] Lucia let go and spun to her side as she scratched Eesis' chin. She smiled at Sanya excitedly. [Color=tan]"Of course! It's easy. All you have to do is hold on. What better way to get to the Temple now? We could be there by tonight I bet!"[/color] Sanya pressed out a hesitant smile to mimic Lucia's excitement, but that solitary attempt at levity faded soon after, as she realized that Lucia was serious. [color=a187be]"I… If you're sure…"[/color] she murmured. A stone in her stomach seemed to form at the mere thought. Leaving the ground had never been good. Lucia noticed immediately that something wasn't right. She gingerly stopped scratching Eesis, who looked up, and took one of Sanya's hands within her own. [Color=tan]"Hey."[/color] she said quietly, [color=tan]"I'll be right there with you and I'm not going to let anything happen to you. I promise."[/color] she gave a squeeze and a smile. The stone lingered in her gut, but Sanya had the wherewithal to ignore it. She watched Lucia for a long while. How genuine she looked even now. Was Sanya making a big deal out of nothing? She breathed a sigh that didn't portray as much confidence as she'd hoped, before responding, [color=a187be]"Alright. I'll… follow your lead."[/color] Lucia blushed and her tattoos seemed to pulse with excitement. [Color=tan]"G-Good!"[/color] she exclaimed before turning to Eesis. [Color=tan]"What do you say Eesis? Care to give two weary travels a ride?"[/color] The Leoness stirred before stretching and then finally put down one of her wings like a ramp. Lucia looked back at Sanya and then began to pull her up the wing. Sanya let herself be dragged along, a restless stir flushing her skin as nervous jitters overtook the seasoned grit she was used to championing. Her gaze darted briefly to the Leoness, before finding solace in watching Lucia's calm and encouraging demeanor instead. Her hand clutched warily against golden, soft fur as she tried her best to find her place. Lucia was slow, sensing some sort of hesitation from her. When they reached the top of Eesis, Lucia let go of Sanya’s hand and grabbed her by the shoulders saying, “Here is a good spot, okay? You sit down and I’ll sit down in front of you. You can grab onto m-me or the fur, alright?” she said shyly. “Eesis is a gentle flyer and doesn’t do half the crazy maneuvers Nisin does. Though it will probably look dangerous at first, this is about the safest place to be in the Prairie.” she smiled warmly, before settling down at the nape of Eesis’ neck. She seemed so small compared to the vastness of the Leoness, but she looked back at Sanya all the same, expectantly. The sheer idea terrified Sanya still, cold chills rippling over her skin. If Lucia said it was fine, she'd trust her. With a slow, steadying nod, Sanya reached forward ever so slightly, trying to find a good hold in Eesis fur. She glanced back to the ground; they hadn't even started and already it seemed to be much too far away. Instead, she found solace in looking ahead, steeling herself for this new challenge with a set of deep breaths. [color=a187be]"I… I'm ready."[/color] she pressed out at last. [color=tan]”Okay! Here goes nothing then!”[/color] Lucia exclaimed. [color=tan]”Go on Eesis, take us home!”[/color] she said, anticipation building in the air. The Leoness’ muscles seemed to tighten as she crouched at first, before her powerful hindlegs exploded in forward momentum. Lucia leaned seemed to compress herself and she leaned forward as Eesis quickly covered ground. Her wings began to beat, like mini thunderclaps, sending air down like a hurricane. Eesis then began to jump, once, twice, three times! All the while Lucia laughed like a madwoman, squealing with delight. On her fourth jump, Eesis took to the sky and began to beat her wings as they gained altitude. Sanya managed the bucking Leon with silent and intense focus at first, but the powerful fourth leap seemed to hit her breaking point. An intense dread overtook her, and the sharp gasp she released was unlike any vocalization she recognized herself. The reflexive reach for something safer than the fur led her closer to Lucia, and Sanya's strong arms coiled tightly around the tattooed woman, as she shuffled ever so slightly closer in search of sanctuary. She did not know where to look, so she did not look at all, clinging to Lucia for all she was worth as the wind whipped through her hair and clothes. Lucia said nothing, but her whooping and hollering died down as they ascended further. She felt warm, very warm and her tattoos were in a constant state of flux- teeming with excitement and pure joy. Eventually, Eesis began to level out and Lucia put one of her hands on Sanya’s arm gingerly. She then spoke, her voice loud. [color=tan]”Sanya, you’re okay now! Open your eyes and take a look at this view! You won’t fly away! I wouldn’t let you, I promise!”[/color] Every fiber of her being resisted the urge to follow directions initially. She could feel air brush against her, and a strange weightlessness that came with the height, or at least knowing about it. Still, Sanya battled her inner demons, and slowly pried her eyes open to gaze straight forwards over Lucia's shoulder. It was unlike anything she'd ever seen before. Below them stretched the majesty of the highlands, seen before only by birds, leons and the Gods. Every stream looked like a snake, the outcroppings of rocks and stones like pebbles, cutting channels into the earth. Fields of flowers, forests of trees, lakes small and wide- All so minuscule and small and simply breathtaking. Upon the far horizon their stretched fields of gold, sparsely pocketed with pockets of green. She could even see smoke rising, cleansing the land. It was beautiful and Lucia watched her face with a small smile. Sanya gazed out over the landscape, transfixed. For a time, her doubts and worries washed away with the wind, as her eyes fell on the diminutive details of far-off lands. It was nothing short of breathtaking. A unique and impossible view. A once-in-a-lifetime feeling. A calm spread through her alongside the fascination, and she could not help but be taken with the vista. Then she made the mistake of looking just a little too close to the edge of Eesis fur, as much straight down as she could. The world whipped back into reality, and somewhere deep in her mind the insanity of her position wrung back into view as she felt a dizzying and disorienting fear grip her legs, her head, her body. Sanya tightened her embrace on Lucia, instinctively holding herself close as she first closed her eyes, and finally leveled her gaze straight ahead instead, more modest and uncertain than she'd felt in years. Lucia gave a slight chuckle, her long golden hair billowing in the wind as she turned her head to look at Sanya. [Color=tan]"You're doing great Sanya! We'll probably be up here until dusk, so I would get comfy if I were you! Hold onto me as long as you want though, I-I lik-"[/color] she paused briefly before sputtering out, [color=tan]"I don't mind! Whatever makes you feel safe!"[/color] Lucia's words whizzed past Sanya's senses as she tried to stabilize her thoughts, and her fear. She hated it. Not flying - but feeling unsafe in a way she could do nothing about. Feeling vulnerable. Like a little girl, all over again. It was embarrassing, and Sanya dared not speak for fear of making a further fool of herself. Instead she held onto Lucia - her sole point of safety - and rested her head gently against her shoulder and back. With her warmth so near, she once more pried open her eyes to silently peer into the horizon, and the faraway lands below. Lucia visibly relaxed after a while, letting herself press into Sanya slightly. She wore a smile on her lips, one Sanya could not entirely see. Her tattoos pulsed contently, as she looked out at the horizon. The Prairie, fast approaching. [hr] [hider=Summary] Lucia and Sanya travel the Highlands. Lucia finally has that conversation with Orb, and hears Qael's message. She digs it so much that she manages to get Qael to come calling through his avatar, the spooky wind ghost. After some heartfelt conversation about purpose and being awesome, as well as lowkey dissing Sanya, Qael leaves, and takes Orb with him so that it can appear where it shall be least expected. Orb beats its programming to say goodbye. Sanya and Lucia have a deep conversation about the nature of gods before moving on with their journey. Later in the day, everything is nice and peaceful until Sanya and Lucia's journey is interrupted by a massive blast from the past: Eesis the cool and awesome Leoness, who has tracked them down from high above. Lucia cuddles with her old friend while Sanya gets to hang with a cool and not at all scary massive predator. Lucia gets the idea to fly to the Sunlit Temple, which sparks all kinds of doom flags in Sanya's head. She eventually agrees, and they climb Eesis to fly south. Sanya, having never flown before, does not enjoy it as much as Lucia does. [/hider] [hider=MP/DP] Qael'Naath 1 MP used to yeet Orb away to distant lands.
