[center][h2]Vel Arrianus[/h2][/center] A thing of marvel, the Radiant Gate, the only thing that can take someone to Ordai’el. The effort it must have been to make, but it was to be expected to save Ordai’el from its troubles. Vel had been to Ordai’el and lived there for a two years. He knows how important the city is and how important it was for him to come here. Back again, Vel thought to himself as he arrived at the place as the light of the magic that brought him here waned. Light that, even while wearing one of his light-blocking goggles, blinded him for a time. But here he is, back in the holy city, and he can remember how lush with life the city was back then. But now, after a quick scan of his surroundings. It was clear that it looked abandoned and with no sight of life. If there are still living souls that linger in the city, they are not near him. Looking up at the sky did little to scare him. Vel grew up underground. There was nothing but a black rocky ceiling above him. No light but ones from torches from outsiders that venture down to trade with the Orph cities. Since the light was of no use to an Orph with them being able to see in the dark. However, a thought did come to him that since there was no sun and yet there was light. Does that mean he could take off his goggles? Vel took another look at the dark sky, and for a moment, he placed his hand on the side of his goggles before putting his hand away. No, he thought. He should not risk blinding himself if the light proved to be overwhelming for him. So the goggles remained, and Vel walked to the others. [color=LightBlue]"My name is Vel Arrianus, and I have also been here before, so I can help as a guide like lady Blackwell to an extent."[/color] Vel then took stock of his companions, and the one that stood out the most was Varandas. Mainly the crystal stuck in his chest and his appearance. Vel would have said something, but now is not the time for that. Like it or not, these people are his companions now as they ventured into the city and faced who knows what. Vel looked down at his ring, gazing upon the symbol of Dhorbris. [color=LightBlue]"I am here now and I will see my duty done."[/color] Saying it under his breath so the others could not hear him. Now to see if he has failed his duty or not.
