"Well here we are" He thinks, "onward and Forward!" He smiles to himself, "youve read too much Salixian philosophy over the last few weeks, your starting to think like they do."Relsyn extends his hand to help Garret over the tall step off the barge. "Thank You Lad," acknowleges the old priest, " These old legs are a bit stiff!""If thats the worst of this adventure, we'll have a lot to thankful for." He turns to Ezekiel and gives him a little salute, mimicking the soldiers salute. "To you Captain and your gallant crew: May St. Xantas' speed, St. Keoughtoms Health and St. Macedone's Knowlege be yours." He bows slightly at the waist."Far thy well, boy." Replies Ezekiel returning the salute and tipping his oversized red hat. Several of the barge hands smile and wave.The pair walks away from the docks toward more familiar sections of the Holy City, passing booths selling fish and fowl and various forms as well as other trinkets and goods."You could have given them a proper benediction," kids Garret."It wasn't a true blessing and Ezekiel Jacobs is wise enough to know it, even if all his crew isn't." Smiles Relsyn in response.Inspite of his familiarity with this city, or perhaps beacuse of it Relsyn Saffire, holds Antioch in high esteem. He loves visiting here, the libraries, the history, even the well manicured lawns and parks. Many shrines accent the city center area, which centers around the many temples. Many priests and the servants of many saints walk these streets, and the air is heavy with incense, which almost succedes in masking some of the more unpleasant odors of the large city. As they approach the open square surrounding the Holy Seat and The Great Church to ELI Himself, the incense wins and overcomes the less pleasant smells, which here, at the heart of the Great Church would be wholly out of place."Heres the Mitre Inn," says Relsyn pointing.</blockquote>
