That he'd summoned a spectre of light to translate ancient maps to find it only made it that much more enticing. And while she planned and visualized just how she would return from the adventure, Bellos was...Playing with his sling. Zwhipp! It spun one way around his finger to smack neatly against his palm. Perfect. He unravelled it in one motion, dropping it to hang beneath his hand. Zwhipp! Smack! Perfect. He unslung it again..."Hm? Oh, yeah, sounds good. Never been that way before - always east, west should be good." Zwhipp! Smack! "When are we leaving?"Greppa rubbed his delicate temples, glanced back and forth between the two, then rubbed them again. At least Athan had had good questions, sometimes.He went over it again, and showed Bellos his hastily sketched map of where he was thinking they could go. According to what he could determine, there was a site that had once been a fortress against eastern invaders. That was reasonably well known, actually, because some of the ruins were still visible, but a whole lot of digging by others had turned up a whole lot of nothing. And just looking at the map, it was a small keep, likely not having much of worth.The important thing was that the name of the place, on a map no one knew how to read, meant "Sky Marker". As near as Greppa could tell, that meant a place of importance for its high visibility - likely a meeting ground or major trade route - and that meant there might be something better nearby, possibly a town or very small city, which might have a library.Plus whatever assorted stuff the other two might be interested in.Within a few weeks, as their down time came up, they went recruiting... unfortunately, their "in" to the Keraunesti was dead and buried. Arkos was up for an adventure, but no one else seemed particularly interested in following Greppa and Merideth into the face of danger in quite the same way they would have followed Athan. And Bellos was right out.So the four (Arkos, Bellos, Greppa, Merideth) packed their things and prepared to head out into the wilderness. And when they finally began marching downslope, out of the protective ring of mountains of their home and into the untamed wilderness to the west, they all felt something of a tug to home.Then it was primal, viridian-streaked mountains and seaward winds. They were off to the past.</blockquote>
