[quote=Kyrnith]“An ancient stone, from the same place you woke I assume...yet not a stone native to that area. It perhaps once belonged to the sage those of the Mountain revere, but as for what it is - I can not say. It is old. Perhaps older than the Moonless Era. As for a passage back...those within the mountain speak of the Sage being able to peer into worlds other than this. Perhaps you should start there.”[/quote]

Nick had to do a double take at the Elder Beast's answer. "[color=skyblue]W-Wow. That's... That's awesome![/color]" He replied. "[color=skyblue]You know, I thought you'd be a bit difficult about this but... this is more than I expected. Thanks![/color]" Nick was ecstatic at the information. "[color=skyblue]No seriously, thanks. I really appreciate it.[/color]" If Nick's memory served, Isidore and Augusta went to such a mountain. The two probably have met them. Well, looks like Nick's going climbing after this.

[quote=Kyrnith]“...I suppose you have a thought as to how we could go about this, then? While those in the village may not all fear - they all are wary, and those within the village seeking to work against me would surely sabotage such efforts to prove otherwise. Perhaps you should merely find those and end them as they would end the forests.”[/quote]

"[color=skyblue]I understand that you'd rather not do this, but the girls are right. If you can be a source of guidance for the people of Dawn rather than the loony god, then people would prefer going to you and the loony god's influence would reduce, making him easier to deal with.[/color]" Nick explained. "[color=skyblue]We'd need to work on your presentation, though. I'd say we can start on putting a path or trail from the village to your grove. You know, make it look welcoming to those who wanna see you.[/color]"

"[color=skyblue]But you're right about the Knowledge God's followers though, we'll have to knock 'em out before we try anything. It's probably a bad idea to ask the people in the village who's in it or not so is there a way to tell them? You know, like, tattoos or rings or necklaces that show their allegiance?[/color]"
