He also continued to study Hurath's private library, both learning more of the arcanist art and attempting to master the fireball he lusted after.Merideth began visiting and spending time with some of the espers in Theralis, few though they were, and began establishing connections. Or trying to. Espers are a shy lot, and it took several months for Merideth to even find out who they were. Still, once she had managed that, she found a mentor in Hathamos, an ellini of older mien and lonely demeanor.Athan, of course, continued strengthening his bonds with the Keraunesti, and began training for the Olympiad, a test of athletic prowess held every five years in Theralis. He would finally be old enough for it by the end of the next summer, and wanted to be ready.All too soon, summer was arriving. Greppa thought he knew where the mine might be located, but he'd started to have second thoughts. The mine equalled a solid source of wealth for the trio, if they could find and restore it. But it was getting close to time for the orcs to hit again... and he also wanted to search for the orcs that had attacked the Bunahken.Finally, he discussed it with Athan and Merideth. Athan's reply was simple, "The mine will still be there in a year. The Theralese captured by the orc tribe won't. And we have to be here in the first part of summer, in case Theralis needs us."And with that, the decision was made.</blockquote>
