[b]“Uh… huh. Indulge my curiosity, what is the full extent of your abilities?”[/b] So not quite the same as the Greek gods after all. She’d always heard about gods creating this and that person or thing in earth mythology, but Narkissa really had to wonder how that looked like when they were doing it, or how it worked. On second thought, it was probably something that she didn’t necessarily want to know. Especially with the things she had seen, the god she had spoken to.

“Oh… I see. Sorry to hear that,”[/b] she frowned, offering her brief condolences. Well, that explained why somebody that was as young as her –if she was created by a god, how old was she actually? —was living by herself. [b]“Well, that makes sense. The Kyrnith is just the local god… entity that just wants to be left alone with the village to its own devices, if I understand it correctly. I’m afraid I’ve only heard bits and pieces of this all, so my knowledge is slightly fragmented.” [/b]Either way, Narkissa was starting to get the big overall picture here, although it felt like there was still a piece missing, somehow.

She sat down on another stump across from Lazhira, picking up a half-transformed plank as she did so.[b] “Okay. First thing’s first, though; what is the first key? How was it destroyed, and how exactly do the mechanisms work? I’d have thought you’d want to preserve the key to open the seal, rather than destroy it,”[/b] she frowned, before taking the axe to try and reduce the wood down to a proper plank of her specifications. 

[b]“For that matter, what does the fog, or the seal, have to do with the fact that the temple has disappeared?”[/b] Mildly distracted, Narkissa tried to work out her questions in her head. What Lazhira was asking was a bit of a tall order, especially when she didn’t have all the pieces. [b]“Well, I’ll certainly help. I’m not sure if keeping the orb with you, if I find it, would be a good idea, though. Your father’s specifically still going to look for you, and if he finds you together with the orb, then doesn’t that accomplish his goals in one fell swoop? Ideally, I’d split the orb up, send it off somewhere distant, or with another person, somewhere where he won’t think to look, as a contingency. Keeping it on yourself would be too obvious, and risky, I’d think.”[/b]
