[center][h1][color=f26522]Carnatia de Luson[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] [color=f26522]"Thank you,"[/color] Carnatia said to Roxas as she finished healing her and moved on to heal the others. She slowly stood up, testing if her now healed leg could support her weight now. Feeling no pain after she placed her weight on it, she then moved on satisfied, following the others to the next room. As with the rest of the group, the appearance of the mysterious holographic man surprised her, prompting Carnatia to draw her rapier in reflex. [quote]Then, like a snuffed-out flame, the holographic man disappeared. Vesemire looked to his left and right, and Gray did the same: checking every gap and trapdoor, lest there be traps and contraptions suddenly sprung open. They found none. [b]"Relax… it seems whoever or whatever assuming the form of Theriadore had no ill intent." [/b] After saying that the monocled elf turned back, heeding the warning, and continued to browse the rest of the exhibits displayed. [/quote] While it was true that Carnatia's precognition was not triggered, while Carnatia sheathed her rapier, she did not drop her guard and instead kept her hand on its handle, ready to draw it at a moment's notice. After the previous injuries she suffered against the golem, she would rather not get another one just because she dropped her guard. With that thought in mind, she browsed the rest of the exhibits. Who knows, perhaps with her Golden Prerogative she would find something valuable. It was a skill commonly found among the nobility. Some say it was proof of their Divine Right to rule granting them supernatural luck, others simply believed it to be a skill that had been naturally cultivated among the nobles to help them amass riches, which allowed them to negotiate prices better and be drawn to the most valuables items nearby when exploring. Whichever the case, it was a useful skill. [quote] [b]"Good Lord, look at that! It looks like what we are looking for." [/b] Inside that box was a tubular container made of embellished wood. When the Archeologists walked forth to claim it, that holographic entity showed up again, this time sitting on the chair next to the pedestal. [color=fff79a][b][i]"I assume you pick that up with a reason. Otherwise, it would be nothing but a deadweight for you." [/i][/b][/color]Despite its roundabout fashion of saying things, the expression of [i]unreal[/i] Theridaore feigned a deep concern. [color=fff79a][b][i]"It was created for one and only purpose. And if its service is needed again, then my biggest fear has come into being. It's such a terrible fate that she has to endure a thousand years of restlessness. I hope your efforts will put an end to her misery".[/i][/b][/color] [/quote] Her search was interrupted once more by the appearance of the holographic man, seemingly reacting to something Vesemir found. The last part of what the man said appeared peculiar to Carnatia. The fact that he said that the item was created for one purpose only. And the implication that it is to put 'her' into rest. Carnatia remembered what Vesemir said back in the camp. That their purpose here was to seek an item that could help them navigate through the Land of Twilight's negative energy, on the surface, it did not seem to match up with what the holographic man was saying. But what if, perhaps dealing with the Land of Twilight's negative energy is tangential to putting 'her' to rest? If that is the case, then the next question would be how much Vesemir knew. Was that the true purpose of his expedition? As light that washed over them subsided, Carnatia turned to Vesemir, [color=f26522]"Sir Vesemir. What do you think of that mysterious man's statement? The one about how that parchment you held having only one purpose, to put 'her' to rest? What would that mean? And who do you think this 'her' is?"[/color]
