[h3][color=6ecff6][b]Reverio Galand[/b][/color][/h3] [color=6ecff6][b]"Simon then. You may address me simply as Reverio or Rev. It's the name I adopted as I came to Rhea. A crude attempt to cast off my origins, I admit, but wearing a different name can be a start of a new life. Even if your face and skin remain the same, names are important."[/b][/color] The blonde motioned with his hand, as he viewed over Simon's bookcase again, every now and then switching between it and the doctor. [color=6ecff6][b]"When you find the time, perhaps you should look more into chess, more can be learnt from it than merely what moves to make. A glimse into another's mind."[/b][/color] Rev explained, before finally approaching the chair he had been designated. Sitting down on it, crossing his legs as he did. [color=6ecff6][b]"Isn't all things of the future a result of an experience of the past? There must have been a defining moment where you decided that... 'This is where I want to be' right? Ofcourse such a calling take on different shapes from person to person, but ofcourse you are not wrong. Without a strong base, the tower shall crumble, alongside anyone in or near it."[/b][/color] The foreigner allowed one of his gloved fingers to tap his own cheek softly whilst he spoke with Simon. [color=6ecff6][b]"None can ever be completely fullfilled with ones past, but in my case, no matter what I would have done, the future, which is now the present would have played out in a similar fashion. There are things we can control, and there are things which are beyond our reach. I am certain you've felt sometimes that, whilst your skills with people are without a doubt great, it may have sometime not been enough? Coming to terms and accepting the fact that there are limits is part of being human, don't you think? That there are things which you cannot change, such as human nature. We strive to the very best we can be, we forget many things of history and repeat it anew, we consume more than we have to... but even then, as long as there's hope there's light at the end."[/b][/color] Reverio closed his eyes momentarily, offering a slight upturn at the corner of his lips, before his piercing blue eyes opened yet again. [color=6ecff6][b]"I do have a vision of a future, most people do, although I would think not many look too far ahead. Sometimes people get lost in the present and believe it will always be as it is, unchangeable and consistant in itself. The future I want is one where the experiences of my past will never happen again, not here or anywhere else. But as to which path along the way one ought to take in order to procure such a future, can be clouded by thick mist. I am no diviner after all. I desire a world free of poverty, war and all manner of tragic things. Where people like yourself would be out of buisness, due to all worries having been laid to rest. But to desire such a thing, and to be able to make it so are two different things. After all... people desire to fight don't they? I am certain you've seen how enthralled some young people be in these tournament games and duels which this city holds. But ofcourse fighting isn't limited to just those things. You could for example also fight a battle of the minds, against yourself or against someone else who is your antithesis. Someone who opposes your future. After all, there are as many futures as there are dreams. Though sometimes paths align and become easier with others side by side."[/b][/color] Rev softly exhaled, placing his hands together in his lap. [color=6ecff6][b]"What kind of future do you want, Simon?"[/b][/color] He finally added, in a soft inquisite way, his piercing blue eyes looking right at him. [@Letter Bee][@KillamriX88] [@Lewascan2]
