Raining, hm? [ There's the sound of rain pattering against the window, dulling the intermediate silence. He's thinking for a few brief moments getting his facts and thoughts sorted before beginning. ]

The Horned Serpent. A mythical being involved with rain, lightning or thunder. Some claimed it to be invisible while most referred to it as the bearer of rain that made noises similar to thunder. Taken from Native American tribes the Sioux believed the Unktehila to be a dangerous reptilian water monster that lived long ago. They were of various shapes and sizes. In the end however it is said that the Thunderbirds destroyed them, except for small species like snakes and lizards. It has varying names: Pita-skog, Sinti lapitta, Misi-kinepikw. Ah they're wonderful creatures, really. Not as extincted as everyone once believed; not as dangerous either I'll admit. The rain is so refreshing at times too.

Is there a being associated with the rain or water in anyone else's world? Since there's not much to do on rainy days, perhaps a little idle chatter could pass the time? [ Another pause, derp. ]

Oh! I almost forgot! Welcome to Luceti everyone! I know there's been quite a few new people about! The cycle just ended, I think? This place is so welcoming, isn't it? I'm sure you'll all feel right at home, or as much as possible in such a place! Though, it takes some getting used to doesn't it? A shame it's such a rainy day...there's so much to be explored in this place.

I don't mind sharing. The Feymarch a small realm in the Underworld. The route to it is pretty harsh, to keep out people who shouldn't be there but the realm itself is very nice. In a lot of ways, it's like a regular town, though isolated away from weather and wildlife and other realms. There are the usual shops, and the King and Queen have their throne room in the lowest level of the library.

So...there other realms in this Underworld, or is it merely comprised of Freymarch? It sounds very interesting, what exactly does one need to get into said realm?

Oh, there are a few other realms. The dwarves have their castle and forge, along with a town, and the sylphs have their cave.

Getting there isn't difficult...with certain precautions. You have to have an airship that fits into that crater leading below, and mythril coating the bottom, so it can fly over the lava.

My that is something. Ah I would love to see such a place!

Airships? Like planes and all that...sounds complicated, but that's probably because I'm not well versed in all those gadgets! [ Just laughs. ]

[A soft chuckle.]

Neither am I. I don't know how that airship upgrading is done, just that it's what we needed. I wish I could show people, though...and thanks for letting me ramble about home a little.

Oh it's not a problem. Sometimes sharing stories about one's home is beneficial to both parties. Reminding us of what we love so much makes the will to get back home stronger, and keeps up moral. I do hope I haven't brought about any home sickness, however. I'd feel dreadful otherwise.

Oh, you didn't, no more so than what was already there. In a way, talking about it alleviates some of that. I can't go home, but sharing what it's like with others makes that a bit more bearable.

Talking about things always seems to ease the heart, and mind. I'm just glad you were able to find some comfort in it, even if it was merely talking to someone such as myself. But, ah, I don't believe I ever caught your name, and we have spoken before have we not?

I think we did, though briefly. It was about magic, right? Anyway, I'm Rydia of Mist, one of the volunteers at the Welcome Center.

I believe it was. The spirits, I think? You work at the Welcome Center? I was thinking of helping out there, or even the school.

That's right. If you still want help there, I'd be happy to provide what I can.

You'd be welcome at either place, I'm sure!

Speaking of...do you have much experience with them?

Mmm perhaps I'll keep to my roots with the school for now. I don't want to overwork these old bones of mine! [ He's just laughing at himself, because it's totally not true. ]

That's not a bad plan. No point in overextending yourself and then burning out!

I've talked and learned from all of them...except Hyt, who had been notoriously elusive. I'm beginning to fix that, though. I've been here long enough to get the hang of what magics they teach.
