Wat, caught up for a moment in a more scholarly examination of the waterfall, finally turns his attention to the rest of the group.
"I couldn't place it at first, but now I remember legends of a temple to Apoli. The legends say they wanted to open a rift to Olympus, a place where it was said even time could not touch. They planned for the temporal distortion to make their temple a place where the sun never set nor any cloud touched the sky. Of course the legends also say the temple was quickly razed by the armies of Gehenos who could also breach the rift as it touched Elysium..."
Turning to the group he adds, "It may have been nothing more than a parable warning of the folly of hubris, but I think it explains what we are seeing. Time flows differently in Arcadia, thus making the flow of time, and as a consequence the water itself almost imperceptible according to our own frame of reference."
Realizing that he may be putting the rest of his companions to sleep with his diversion into academia, he states, "I'm ready to continue when the rest of you are. It should be safe to cross, though the time shifting might be a bit overwhelming at first if you've never done it before."
