[21:15] Seeing that those who Vel needed were not busy.. The Invidia himself would step forward before turning to them.

"Well then. Let us head to the area.

There is something that I must talk to you all about.."

His words were directed to no one but Ipos, Neo and Lugonqi. With those words being stated, the Kitsune slipped a loose hand on the pole of the Wyrm and continued to walk forward, hoping that the others followed behind.

"If everything goes according to plan.. then this could be Obsidia's Gift to us. Chaaaha. "
(Vel Invidia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:15] Cordelia A. Wvelven says, "He's just fine. He's his normal self... So just Hatsu."
[21:15] Epsilon whispers: Mind if I join you?
[21:16] Cordelia A. Wvelven exclaims, "I think you have an important meeting now!"
[21:16] Epsilon whispers: I have little else to do.
[21:16] Vel Invidia whispers: I don't see the problem with it. Come.
[21:16] Devin Attic says, "... Congratulations, Cordelia."
[21:16] Cordelia A. Wvelven says, "Hm...? "
[21:17] It cringed at that name- Obsidia. It would likely be a title that Lugonqi would never come to terms with. Nevertheless, a meeting was exactly what the archon wished for. It wordlessly followed along.
(Lugonqi Alazauq)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:17] Cordelia A. Wvelven asks, "For what?"
[21:17] Ipos Dalmeroth says, "Let's speak, then."
[21:26] After a short trek through the narrow paths of the Volcano, the group found themselves in a location surrounded by nothing but masses of lava.. This was a place that Vel has visited once before..

But this was the first time that he brought the others along. This was something that he could not figure out on his own which led him to requesting help from his allies.

"Here we are.. This place is what I like to refer to as the Volcano's Maw.

Now, the reason I bring you all here today is because I believe that there is something that lurks within these pools of magma..

Something powerful..

Something that I desire to have within our control soon enough.

I have not seen this 'thing' with my own eyes but I've heard many rumors that had something to do with it."

Vel gave the group a nod or two before continuing on. Just before making a hypothesis and finding a solution, he honestly wanted to know if the others knew something about the possible phenomenon.

"Before we attempt to discover ways to confront this 'thing'... I must ask.

Does anyone know or heard anything about it?"

Grey hues flickered to each and every individual present, searching for one who held the knowledge of what was needed.
(Vel Invidia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:29] The blind man turns, studying the lake of lava surrounding the group, completely at home in this intense heat.

"Mm. Some great power sleeping beneath the liquid flame? No, I have heard nothing of the sort." He shoots a sly grin back to the 'Chieftain of Atl'. "Unless you simply refer to the ability for a volcano to explode, violently covering everything for miles around in ash and fire. An amusing thought, that, but you sound like you are describing something rather more... intelligent."
(Epsilon)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:31] The ram wasn't familiar with neither Maina nor Epsilon, though the demon's eyes very visibly locked onto the strange scythe that the blind man held. There was in its stare a strange hunger; a restrained anger.

But as far as Vel's question went, the demon had nothing. "I do not know- though if there is something beneath this pit, keheh.. I certainly do possess the power to bind it."
(Lugonqi Alazauq)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:34] "Surely you jest, Vel. You didn't bring us here for.. fairy tale monsters, did you?"

He shakes his head, smirking slightly. The Archon didn't take this moment seriously whatsoever- for it wasn't possible for a being to reside down in the lava for that long, while his kingdom colonized its home.

Ipos' army would've slain the beast a long time ago.

"I doubt anyone here has heard of such a thing, to be frank."
(Ipos Dalmeroth)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:34] "I've heard many things, my boy many things. Nothing of about this Volcano, in fact if you were to ask me I'd say this place is just a mass of lava and nothing more."

Neo had no intel whatsoever. This Volcano has been on Agartha for who knows how long. He never met a soul interested in it or what's inside of it.
(Neo Invidia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:42] Her eyes came back to a slow unfocus as her attention left the lava lake below them. She glanced over Vel. Something about the lava? Something in it? Familiar. She'd glanced off and reached into her red satchel for a little tattered notebook. Inscribed on it's cover: Maina and Junior's adventuring guide.

"Hmm..." Flipping through a few pages. Familiar might not have meant it was in here, but it was possible that she would. She'd put every rumor, tale, and all on every page of the little book in her hands along with Junior.

Over a few minutes, she'd eventually found something. "There is something here, or at least, a tale says of something that deals with this volcano. What exactly...? No idea." She eyed the red X over the entire page and the little reason written on a separate note in small Maina's hand writing:

Don't know what to do.

"Hm..." Closing the little notebook. "And it's as Ipos said. A baseless fairy tale. Baseless as far as we know. At best, maybe something rest under the lava but..." They had no way to stir something like that... As far as she knew.
(Maina Invidia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:49] That is all Vel needed to continue on with the hunt. Despite of the myth being baseless.. There was always something to work with.

"In that case.. It is best I bring up something that I discovered just before building Obsidia.

A series of unexplored caverns.. Something that I am sure will provide us with the answer that we are searching for. I've no idea what lies within these caves which is why..

We will explore them. You all are formidable magi just as I am and with that alone should be enough to safely confront the unexpected."

The Kitsune's arms would fold as his mind wandered to vaguely bring up the very moment he witnessed the caverns. The uneasy feeling that took his body when he tried to enter.

With others by his side, this would surely be different.

"So.. Before I start preparing for the mysterious journey that lies ahead, I want to know..

Who is coming with? "
(Vel Invidia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:51] Alazauq had not a hint of hesitation.

"If there lie anything in this cavern, it is likely connected to the ancestors of my kin, those who once held dominion over this continent. I do not imagine that there is any formation untapped by their influence," replied the ram with a fiddling of its collar.

"I will come, naturally. The past is my interest, and fire is my domain."
(Lugonqi Alazauq)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:53] Ipos taps his cheek, an unprecedented jovial demeanor about the method he carried himself, a tight ruby gaze locked upon the convulsing magma.

Slowly, still floating, the Archon turned slightly- opting to quickly answer Vel's inquiry.

"My dear Vel, there is no reason for me to not trust your intuition. I'll come along, no questions asked. I'm certain even this fairy tale originates from somewhere."

He crosses his arms, once again staring off into the lava- pondering about what could possibly lie within the volcano, as well as the secret unexplored caves found during Obsidia's creation.
(Ipos Dalmeroth)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:55] At last a challenge?

As a whole Agartha has proved to bore Neo, to the point where he's become totally lost. No guidance, causing him to act on his instincts. This peaked his interest, perhaps there was more to this tired rock than he believed. Naturally Neo would tag along.

"I'd be a failure of a parent not to aid my son. You've my presence as always."

There was so much to gain, and nothing to loss. Neo had come to think that this group he'd been building was near invincible as a unit. This was possibly foolish thinking, but he never cares.
(Neo Invidia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:56] Epsilon says, "Oh, I might just let you all have your fun. Should you come back with something, be sure to let me know."
[21:56] Vel Invidia says, "Will do."
[21:56] Lugonqi Alazauq asks, "Who are you, blind man?"
[21:59] With that announced, Vel turned away from the pools of lava, facing the narrow paths that was previously walked upon.

"Good.

I will start making preparations for such.. For now, let us return back to Obsidia."

This would take quite a few months to prepare for but fortunately, at least traveling would be easier. Their destination was located in the proximity of their home after all.

An approving nod was provided to every single individual before falling to the depths of his thoughts once more.

"Hmm.

I wonder what will be needed.. Chaah. This will be quite fun."
(Vel Invidia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:00] Said blind man turns to the archon with a smile.

"Ah- where are my manners." Leaning slightly on the scythe, he gestures to himself with a small flourish. "Epsilon. Pyromancer, master occultist. Friend of the Invidias, more or less."

His quiet voice is soft, carrying a faint hint of amusement. "I confess, I have already heard of you, friend."

The grip on the scythe grows slightly tighter, but his expression doesn't change. "Many great tales."
(Epsilon)
