Welcome to Gaia! ::

"So you're telling me Hasphaestus built these crystals so that Zues could give them to this civilization of worshipers? Quite odd...mortals do not usually get gifts from gods, due to the abuse of power that would ensue. Hence, the reason the gods didn't want to give fire to the humans. This is terrible news! I do not know of this Zues civilization, but if there could be many clues to their whereabouts. A floating fortress....no doubt anything doing with heavy worshipers would revolve around the famed Mount Olympus, or anywhere in the general area. If you hope to find them, looking up things about the colony, the history of the gods that may link a sort of praise to them, or heading to the location of Mount Olympus would be the three best options. We must make haste! Who knows when this madman could strike, or where else he could attack!"

"First off, this happened along time ago. That guy is long dead. Secondly, the crystals were not created by the gods. Alchemists made them from stuff. I don't really know how. The people just called themselves Zues because they could command thunder and lightning. As for that fortress, it got caught in a hurrican and it crashed onto a cloud. It's safe to say it's not going to bother us."

Bastet's temper flared, then she calmed it for Nailah, "Nailah? I used to be a cat, just a cat, nothing more. Now I am alive after 5000 years and heal at an accelerated rate." As she took in what Saradin said she shook her head, "It really should not surprise me so much that either of them might still be alive..." Then she saw Nailah a bit worried, "I am trying to keep my emotions in check. If anything happens and you have not had a lot of training, I will try to keep the confrontations away from you."

Nailah looked at Bastet, hurt for her burst of anger. "I'm sorry Bastet. I only meant to look at the positives. But if he is still alive, what are you going to do? And don't worry about me. You will know when I am about to lose control. There are signs." She looked at Saradin adn thought about what he had said. Seh hoped that RAshidi was dead but knew that it was probably likely he was alive. Or maybe..."Bastet, you said Manu was Rashidi's lackey, right?"

"Don't let my experiences concern you, from what I know the Rashidi I knew met a gruesome end during an attempted coup de'tate he attempted on local rulership." Into the fridge, contemplating making something to eat, Saradin continued to focus on what they were saying. "He can't be killed more than once, I dont think."

Vik walked in just in time to hear the part where Ryo asked about how it could crash into a cloud.
"How do you think I could live on a cloud if it wasn't solid?"
"Oh Vik. I tried tell you sooner but you blocked me out. Here."
Munalisk handed Vik the book.
"Oh that. I learned about Zues in history class about 4 years ago. What that got to do with anything?"
"Don't you get it. That's what was in her vision. That's what going to destroy Laputa!"
"First off, it was," he pointed at his right palm, "who were going to destroy Laputa. And like you mentioned, that fortress was destroyed. It crashed onto Laputan turf. That space was actually supposed to be the place for the next sports arena. Now it's a archaelogical dig site."
Munalisk shook his head. He turned back to Ryo. "We know that five of the crystals are still hidden. The former subjects each created a temple to house the crystals. Each were then enchanted to look like a natural object. Like a mountain."

"Rashidi had one, he was well revered in that time." She clucked her tongue a few times as she thought. "I will just have to investigate it by going back to that spot in the woods and look aorund a bit more. I will deal with what I find there." She sighed and stood to head to the door, "I will be right back."

Ryo lifts his head up and simply laughs, unsecuring his partizan and twirling it high above their heads. "Well boys, looks like we have ourselves another adventure! Let's get crackin' at the info then stop this crazy crystal of chaos! Whaddya say?"
