[19:45] Neklous Endore exclaims, "Heh!"
[19:45] Neklous Endore exclaims, "Gwen!"
[19:45] Avin Lynch says, "Later Rain."
[19:45] Neklous Endore exclaims, "I finally found you!"
[19:45] Flint Westman says, "Greetings, al-Aziz."
[19:46] Avin Lynch says, "Hey. He's mine."
[19:46] Flint Westman asks, "Huh?"
[19:46] Gwenael Trawyn exclaims, "Oh!"
[19:46] Gwenael Trawyn exclaims, "Greetings!"
[19:46] al-Aziz says, "Good evening."
[19:46] Flint Westman asks, "Everything going good today at the church?"
[19:46] Espa Morenno exclaims, "Hello Gwenael!"
[19:46] al-Aziz says, "About the same as usual. Busy."
[19:46] Espa Morenno says, "Lovely to see yo uagain."
[19:46] al-Aziz says, "Good to see you're alive and well."
[19:46] Gwenael Trawyn says, "Oh! Greetings Espa~"
[19:47] Gwenael Trawyn asks, "How are you two?"
[19:47] Neklous Endore exclaims, "Good!"
[19:47] Flint Westman says, "Mhmmm. Good to hear that the church is doing well. If yah require anything, I'll be around patrolling the area."
[19:48] Neklous Endore says, "Gwen.."
[19:48] Neklous Endore says, "I no longer have that piece of paper.."
[19:48] Neklous Endore says, "But I want the stars to help me find my purpose.."
[19:48] Neklous Endore says, "I don't want power or any new types of magic."
[19:48] Espa Morenno exclaims, "I'm also doing well~!"
[19:48] Gwenael Trawyn says, "Oh! That is fine. If you want we can meet personally~ You can come as well Espa."
[19:48] Neklous Endore says, "I just want help finding my purpose."
[19:49] Gwenael Trawyn says, "Very well then."
[19:49] Neklous Endore says, "Sure sure! Lets go"
[19:49] Gwenael Trawyn says, "I have the perfect place for this."
[19:50] Espa Morenno asks, "Oh.. Where are we going?"
[19:50] Gwenael Trawyn says, "You'll see~"
[19:51]
{LOAD GAME}

[19:51] Neklous Endore says, "You will learn a lot about me.."
[19:51] Espa Morenno asks, "Oh?"
[19:52] Neklous Endore says, "That only my family knows.."
[19:52] Espa Morenno asks, "uwu?"
[19:58] The quite small priest would guide them both in a forest, over the cliff. Luckily enough, the breeze would be smooth and the sun bright enough to heat their faces, however, he walked up the cliff until they get to the waterfall. The Priest would sit on the border of the cliff, then gestured Neklous to sit on his side, gently tapping over the dancing blades of grass on his side.

"Come and sit. Tell me about yourself~ I want to know everything, fear not, I merely am good at keeping secrets. Everything will stay between you and me.", he requested him, a smile that stood locked upon his face.
(Gwenael Trawyn)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:59] Neklous Endore says, "Espa join us. Come stand beside us. Don't exclude yourself. I would feel bad."
[19:59] Gwenael Trawyn says, "Mhm~ You can come."
[20:00] Espa kept herself back a bit, lowering her eyes as she listened to the two. Was it really right of her for being here? She didn't feel as though she should, but unless told to leave she'd stay.
(Espa Morenno)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:00] Espa Morenno says, "Oh.."
[20:00] Neklous Endore says, "Gwen.."
[20:00] Espa Morenno says, "Okay.."
[20:00] Neklous Endore says, "I don't want to stand beside you.."
[20:00] Neklous Endore says, "Let the lady in the middle.."
[20:00] Gwenael Trawyn says, "Very well~"
[20:00] Espa moves herself to to the two others, sitting herself between them!
(Espa Morenno)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:01] Neklous Endore says, "Heh heh..."
[20:01] Neklous Endore exclaims, "Sorry if that came out rude!"
[20:01] Espa Morenno asks, "..Huh..?"
[20:01] Espa Morenno asks, "Why do you want me in the middle?"
[20:01] Gwenael Trawyn says, "Oh! I have witenessed worse. You do not have to apologize~"
[20:02] Neklous Endore says, "Becaise Espa, that way if anything happens, I can be sure to move you in the way and save myself."
[20:02] Neklous Endore says, "Men should look up to me as a role model."
[20:03] Patting Espa on the shoulder, Neklous grinned signaling that he was just joking.
(Neklous Endore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:04] Neklous Endore exclaims, "Alright lets get down to business!"
[20:04] Gwenael Trawyn says, "Mhm~"
[20:04] Espa Morenno says, "..Ouch."
[20:38] "About myself?..."

"I am a simple man with a complex mind I do not understand. I wonder what the special being was thinking when they created me."

"To define myself as simple as I can.. I enjoy booze and taking naps. I am kin to a rather large family.. 16 cousins to be exact and 1 younger brother named Vytal."

"I am sure you have seen a few other Endores.. but meh that is another matter"

"I just want to find my purpose...and I am just hoping the stars can help me do so.."

Neklous's doll blue eyes which seemed ever so distant looked off into the far away clouds as he began to speak.

"Where do I begin.. " He said as he turned towards Gwen and Espa and looked them right in the eyes. His voice was calm and serene yet had volume to it as well as a creepy ominous feeling that dragged along his words.

"A few months back.. I was a simple magi with no magical attribute. I was stronger than a normal villager yet that was only due to being forced to participate in my family's hellish training when I was younger. "

"My family has an obsession with power and the 'hunt' which is why I grew up having a disgust for it. "

"My problem was that.. power changes everything. I felt powerless seeing my family.. my clan.. go off to wars and deathly hunts. When they all returned.. I was there standing in the same spot powerless. Of course when they came back there was a few missing yet there was no cries or mourning. There was only a dreadful silence that lasted for days."

"Mothers of the clan raised their children till age 5 then unwillingly sent them off to Endore training camps. Fathers.. lost at war and battle while their sons and daughters are sent to replace them..."

A deep loneness lingered within Neklous's doll blue eyes that seemed to freeze the air in the surrounding thus making it hard to breath and making anyone chest feel heavy.

"A few months back is when I got tired of seeing that. Tired of my family.. MY KIN! Live one day then die the next.. I am TIRED! TIRED OF THAT GOD AWEFUL SILENCE THAT FOLLOWS!"

"I climbed the highest peaks of Essar and stumbled upon a snowy mountain peak.. There is where I decided to try and do something about it"

Neklous raised his left hand and opened his palm right in front of him. His skin on his left arm was bare with no markings but as soon as he circulated his mana into his left arm, crawling black tattoos began to become visible. They 'crawled' throughout his whole left arm and in the center of his palm, a black line opened up to be a pupil less eyeball. Within the pupil less eyeball laid a strange rune that seemed to be different from the other tattoos. It was not black in color but was a bright lime green which shined time to time before dimming.

"Attempting to confront my demons and manifest a solution to my troubles.. I developed my first magical attribute.."

"Time magic"

"This rune within the center of my palm translate to 'Past'"

"It is useful for a variety of things but to keep it simple, it is useful for healing flesh wounds. It doesn't exactly heal it but reverses the area of the wound to a past version of itself where such a wound didn't happen."

"I can tell you exactly but a simplified time law of what this hand uses is called 'Time can't affect fate'. Meaning that time can not heal. Time can not affect fate or a person when death is present. Meaning if someone has cancer using this would only make them suffer longer.. "

Channeling his mana into his right arm, a similar thing happened yet within the pupil less eyeball laid a dimly glowing grey rune.

"This rune translates to 'Future"

"I haven't discovered all of its uses yet but it is good for speeding up the process of things such as growing alchemy materials that normally take ages to grow."

"I use it to heal my pain though. Any feelings I don't want to have.. I use this rune to turn it into a future version of itself where it has already passed or been healed by time"

"If I used this on a dying cancer person.. it would not cure them.. it would only evolve the cancer further and speed up the process."

"I think I manifested this type of magic because I wanted to preserve my Endore family. I didn't want to hear that god awful silence anymore that has now become a trauma. "

"Time magic is only a tool towards the true purpose of why I live and breath.."

"Gwen... Espa... What is your take on this?"

(Neklous Endore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:49] There was a lot Neklous had to say, a bit too much even- As Espa did her best to stay steady throughout it all.. She was exhausted last night proved to be a terrible one, considering one of her lords passed away to syndicate action.

What was Espa supposed to comment on- there was a lot there and it was difficult for her to make a well-rounded response. Emotion the lad had radiated, and it was undeniable that he was speaking his true feelings.

"I'm sorry.. But, I can't relate- Your life's far different then my own.. Any value judgement I'd make would be useless." She admits, trailing her eyes down the mountain's clifface. Her response must have been disjointing. Even she felt disappointed responding with it.
(Espa Morenno)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:02] The Priest would listen carefully to the young man's story, from the gaze he gave, attention would merely be obvious. He have such a huge family, even unusual... 16 cousins... That's a lot...

Gwenael actually admired his actions when he brought himself up as everyone was dying on his family, a true form of determination brought him to learn time magic. The rune would merely be obvious from Gwenael as he has grown learning and actually creating his own runic circles with his own personal method of creations of runic circles.

It would actually amazes him, to see the grey and green runes. He actually knew the writing, but it's power... Wow... Only wow...

Amazement came up to him as he took out the book he always bring with him, a quite thick book actually and let flow the pages until he finds a black one.

TAP!

His hand stopped the pages and he took out his feather to write.

"So a magic that can cures wounds. It works trough runes? Interesting... That is very much interesting..."

Scribble scribble scribble…

"It reverses the area? Wow... That's really interesting... But- Hm...."

Scribble scribble scribble…

"I see."

PAF!

He abruptly closed his book, now turning his gaze again forward the Endore.

"So you want to know about the stars?", he nodded. "The stars are merely guides to lost souls. A light that brightens traced, yet unseen paths."

His left arm would now be lifted, pointing south.

"Here, during the during reveals itself the celestial circle that cycles the worlds and it's elements. Merely my acolytes may be able to create a connection with it~ I choose them as it requested me to do so.", he affirmed. "It is said to be the creation of an angel that while theother angels where fighting duringthe creation of the light and the darkness, they created the elements, the four main elements and created a constellation to preserve it's balance. In the middle of the circle would rest the heart of the elemental. The World, what balances the world and it's elements."

His arm would be laying down again, his gaze turning back into the Endore sitting not so far.

"The stars are celestial objects that balances our world and guides us into our own path. Stars are hope, yet being too devoted to them can merely be a nuisance. Believing yourself as the tool of a star is a sin. Anyone is a tool, we are merely connected."

Gwenael spoke, yet... Would not reveal about his own foreigner past.
(Gwenael Trawyn)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:31] Seeing Gwen take notes, Neklous didn't seem to mind all that much. He shrugged as he had known a lot of people who were interested in magic as well. He was just not the type to study it or care too much for it as it only bought troubles. If he would live a quiet and peaceful life then he would but fate had seemed to disregard his wishes time and time again as if it was trying to make an example out of him.

"The stars.."

"A guide to the lost souls.."

"A guild... to the lost souls.."

Listening to Gwenael, Neklous caught a phase that caused his heart to shutter and subconsciously repeat the phase a few time to himself.

Goosebumps ran down the entirety of his body as he heard the sounds of bells ringing within his consciousness. These bells were grand and divine, sounding very much similar to giant bells used in churches.

Sweat began to drip from the pores of his skin as the phrase dawned on his mind again and again. It seemed as if he was making a mental breakthrough and I had finally came close to understanding his purpose.

"Gwenael. That phrase.. it speaks right through me.."

"Its like you have seen me for what I am. A soul lost in the blackness of the abyss with no light to guide me. A boat struggling mid sea during a terrible hurricane with no light house to save me. The stars.. "

"You've made me realize that the stars will save me."

"No other priest has said that to me before when talking of the stars.. You are indeed a unique one."

Hearing about the past of the stars with the angels waging war against each other, Neklous listened in but didn't seem to interested in it till Gwenael's next words.

"Being too devoted is a nuisance.."

Neklous wasn't a very religious man to begin with and the whole time he though the church would try to force some weird theory and belief about the stars.

"This.. is refreshing to say the least." Neklous commented.
(Neklous Endore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:40] The more the scene moved on, the more Espa felt disconnected to the conversation- why was she here? She had nothing to contribute.. She wasn't versed in faith..

She knew nothing of the stars.

With a whimper she'd lower lift her eyes for but just a moment, looking at the blue sky. She had her own goals- her own magic she was trying to attune herself to.. But sadly it was unrelated to any of this..

Well, while she was here she could meditate on her own mana, Closing her eyes she'd see her own circuity as rivers- and currents. Doing her dammest to find balance!
(Espa Morenno)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:52] Gwenael would know himself to be too much different from the other Priest as he has grown, his soul corrupted by the darkness in a very young age. There is still stains of that darkness within his soul, he even has a runic circle over his hand to restrain him from using the ethereal energy from his soul because of this. That would merely be a secret revealed to a single magi in Esshar.

That is the actual reason why he would study each matter or each type of magic to manage to find a way to cast magic without using the ethereal essence of his soul, at least not too much. However.

He would merely understand his feeling as he passed trough the same kind of situations.

"Let's say... I follow my heart instead of my head. When I see a lost soul, I merely have the compassion to give them the light to brighten their path.", he nodded. "If I have revealed you that is because I felt something from you that I do not feel from the other souls. Something I felt once you spoke of your past, your passions."

The sleepy sun appears to be slowly disapearing over the horizon, creating a shade of red to yellow, then blue. Looking up and you would merely be able to perceive the stars.

As he perceives that nighty sky, slowly decorating itself with stars, appearing one by one as the sleepy sun began to disappear over the horizon. He lay'd on his back, his hands behind his head, his feet would be balancing over the cliff as he simply... Witnesses this art.

"If you want I can teach you how to create a connection between you and a star but. For that you will need to bring me something to carve into~"
(Gwenael Trawyn)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:54] Neklous Endore says, "Hmm"
[22:07] Neklous nodded after hearing Gwenael speak. Pulling out a broad sword, Neklous slowly began hand it to the priest reluctantly.

"This sword.. this sword is not as good as others but it has stuck with me all 18 years of my life. Even when I had not manifested my core magical attribute it was there by my side."

"This sword.. it is weak but it has a very strong memory connection. I credit it with being a small part of who I am today. Through thick and thin, this sword has kept my life safe even when I didn't know the proper skills to use it.. even when I didn't know the true meaning behind wielding a sword."

"I am undeserving of this sword.. to this day I go against its wishes and refuse to wield it. There will some day be a time when I find my true dao.. my true purpose. On that day I throw myself into the darkest abyss I am capable of creating within my consciousness, break me and this sword then reforge us into a body that's unbreakable!"

"As Of today though, I give this sword to you to crave into. As of today this sword will act as the key that strengthens my connection and bond with the stars. It will be the key to helping me find my purpose."

"Also you said you feel something in me that you don't do others.."

"Do you mind explaining to me what that is?"
(Neklous Endore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:15] As the two kept on about their conversation- Espa would keep meditating, pooling her mana into a constant- uniform current which she expelled out of her body. A gentle glow painted itself over her figure. It was nothing much- only a little trick, but it was the only one she knew which her practice into energy manipulation.

Although- speaking of skill. There was one other she happened across before- using said energy to amplify one’s own strength. But it was a fluke of her last practice. It was not something she could command at any given moment.

Espa was deep in her own thoughts- far too deep to notice the world around her without some help.
(Espa Morenno)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:36] The Priest would listen to the Endore speaking of the memories attached to that sword. It would merely makes sense that he is much attached to it. 18 years.... That is old as him. However, the silver hues would meet the Endore's before he could give him an answer.

"Trust me, I will be careful~"

Since the sword is made out of a quite bad metal, he took out a knife made out of a metal actually a lot stronger than his sword's, slowly felt down on his knees and pointed the tip of the knife, straight over the lower part of the blade.

He repeated to himself...

You can't miss this... Be careful, one mistake and you are done... However, after the years of practice, he would not be too scared to break it.

He begins by carving a circle, then writes in a foreign language commands to create an amplificated circuit that will manage to reach one star. Which one? His light will recognize him.

Usually, Gwenael creates a triangle to orient the circuit, but... Not this time. This one deserves his own light. That one light that will brightens his path, enough to make a step further, if it is not a walk.

He carved four circles, each aligned precisely to be equally distanced over the main circle. Those four circles would actually be what will store the ethereal essence from the star, a symbol would be carved in the middle of each circle.

That circle of runes would be quite simple, but that would merely be intentional, since Gwenael merely wishes to see him find his own light.

"I will help you to find your light."

He affirmed, now getting up. He took off the fingerless gloves that rests over his left hand with the help of his right hand then faced his palm over the runic circle he drawn.

"If it fails I will do it again until you get it."

The silver hues would hides itself underneath it's pupils as he concentrated. The runic circle tattooed over the palm of his left hand began to shine, a circuit would be seen to rose out of the runic circle to attach itself to the rune carved over the sword.

"I promise."

As he spoke, the runic circle began to shine around the sword. Each commands that would be written in Gwenael's mind would be written around the sword, slowly activating itself. The sword began to shine.

It suddently stopped, everything disapeared, but the runic circle would be there, still glimmering. A slight pain would be visible on Gwenael's gaze as he used enough mana to pain him.

He suddently looked at the Endore, a smile that flourished again before he spoke.

"All you need to do is close your eyes and connect your soul to it~ Your star will choose you~"
(Gwenael Trawyn)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:05] Seeing what Gwenael was doing, Neklous simply took a few steps back and gave the priest room to work.

He somewhat understood what the Priest was going but didn't pay too close of attention to it as he had seen his cousins enchant items countless times. The flashing lights, the runes that held the concepts of the universal laws that composed magic.. all of it was just a headache to Neklous. Plus flash burn was not a good feeling to have.

As Gwenael inscribed circle after circle onto the broadsword, Neklous heard Gwenael speak in a way it seemed he was making an oath.

"So.. If I fail.."

"So if I shatter.. you will take responsibility?"

"You will piece me back together over and over again until I find my destined light?"

Continuing to hear the 'oaths' Gwenael was making as he inscribed upon his sword, a disgusted look began to appear on Neklous's face. His doll blue eyes grew even more distant than they already were as he thought of Gwenael like the other priest and knights of the First Order.

"You.. are not the first to say such a thing.. "

"Are these just words to please my hears?"

"Do you... DO YOU TAKE ME AS A JOKE?!"

Neklous became slightly enraged as Gwenael's oaths went on. He thought the priest was like the others and just trying to sell him a false hope and dream. Suddenly though in the next moment, all the negativity that Neklous thought of Gwenael in that split second vanished when he heard the lad say 'I promise'.

Heavenly bells began to ring inside Neklous's consciousness as a serene smile appeared on his face.

Holding out his hand, towards the sword, he closed his eyes and poured all his burdens and troubles into the sword while saying..

"I will put faith in you one time.."

"I will trust you just this one time..."

"That moment you decide not to pick me up anymore.."

"Is when I will hunt you with this very blade."

Neklous slowly guided a small string like thread onto the surface of the sword as he began allowing it to connect to his soul.

"And even if I die trying, I will haunt you and all your descendants for generations to come! "

"So please... don't make me down.."

Finally saying so, A tear escaped Neklous's right eye as he whole heartedly gripped the sword and continued to pour all of what he had into it.

"To this sword.. I entrust upon you my greatest accomplishments.."

"My darkest moments"

"My past, present and future"

"Yes I put it all into.."

"Take it all.. burden it all.. or shall thou have none of me. "

With this small 'oath' being said, the sword glowed to his maximum amount, lighting up the small cliff before ultimately dimming and turning back to its normal self. Except this time it had strange runes imprinted upon it.
(Neklous Endore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:15] Espa found herself loosing her meditation, as Neklouse yelled.. It pulled her from her focus and back to reality. Once fully pulled back into scene around her she drifts her eyes to Neklous.. She'd sigh gently before standing up- moving behind him and patting his back. It was a simple gesture.

Closing her eyes she'd take a deep breath- meditation was exhausting, especially meditation on one's on circuitry. She'd brush up against Neklouse. It was on accident- but she wouldn't correct it, using hi mas support.

She was sleepy girl.

Sleeeeepy.
(Espa Morenno)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:20] The Priest would listen to the Endore speaking words of sheepishness, hatred, perhaps anger. He feels those feelings in return. Empathy, it is.

However, he controlled himself as he understood his feeling, he even dug into it, to really feel it. None of his words were oath, those were words of truth, of his heart.

Howeverr, he watched him connecting himself to the sword, tears falling down his cheeks. The passion given to that single action would be avid, it was obvious, it filled the air.

The Astrologist would actually not approach him, but would stand,, and silently watch. Disturbing a magi creating a connection with a star is a terrible action. Even cruel.
(Gwenael Trawyn)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:31] A mysterious light of changing colors shot up into the air and rocketed into the sky, easily breeching breaching the atmosphere and into the boundless void. Once the light disappeared, Neklous could see a vaguely flashing bright light from where he was standing. It appeared to be a star tweaking in excitement as the connection make.

"I do not know which star I am connecting or connected with but perhaps you can read my hand or body later on.. and tell me. For now though Gwenael I will be off. Thanks for today"

Turning around at the touch of Espa, Neklous sighed with a gentle smile.

"You hopeless girl.. What am I going to do with you.." He said with a teasing and warm tone.

Looking at Espa he was caught in a daze for a moment. Standing there staring at her for a moment thoughts began to rush to his head. He wanted nothing more than to pull her into his chest and stand there with her in his embrace for a couple of moments.

Despite his thoughts though Neklous was more tamed than that. He was not one to simply act off his wishes. Simply caressing her cheek with the back of his hand, for a moment he turned around once again to offer a piggy back ride.
(Neklous Endore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:31] Gwenael Trawyn exclaims, "It is no problems~ Farewell!"
[23:33] Neklous Endore exclaims, "Alright Take care!"
[23:35] Espa Morenno exclaims, "Bye..!"
[23:35] Gwenael Trawyn exclaims, "Farewell!"
