Fer listened to the explanation the old gladiator gave. There was truth to what he said of course but still the young hero felt there was some way to learn more than in survival mode. He agreed that Auriel was probably the best suited to recall stories. He remembered the mountain tribes of his homeland had passed verbal history down for thousands of years. Of course it was hard to distinguish reality from myth but any information could be helpful. 

At this time Cole excitedly proclaimed his discovery. Fer could see some numbers blinking on the edge of his vision. It was suddenly at this time he remembered that there was aspects of this world that did not make sense and there were very game like. His experience was limited on this matter as his life had been spent in the wild and alone. 

He turned to Cole and almost embarrassed asked. [color=0054a6]“uh Cole so how do I work this thing? It seems like a game to me but I guess I did not understand much of the explanation when I first arrived.”[/color]  He said this as he was absent minded putting leftover balloon fragments into his shield. They really did seem to disappear into the green gem. This was indeed interesting to Fer.
 
He would turn to Marcino, [color=003471]“Ok so I am sure that you did not just have us fight these creatures for our benefit. Can you please let us know what we should be working on to get stronger?”  He would also look in the direction of Auriel “Of course, your input is much sought and appreciated.”[/color]
