To Avenge the Avenger

[Jordan Hielo]

"Huh...that makes sense...then, I suppose that is why it is in both Avaleur and Hollow!" Jordan thought. "Why do you wear it on your chest, if I might ask as well?"

[Deleted]

"We are the Almorite... The protectors of the goddess's power." it was a bit disheartening to have the stories confirmed, history had forgotten them.

[Deleted]

This sounded vaguely familiar to him, like a story told long ago. About a time long ago. He was really at a loss for words, the riddle didn't send them to the tear, but instead it seemed to have sent them to it's people.

[Jordan Hielo]

"Oh! Uhm..." Jordan frowned, realizing how he had sounded. "I would not worry about it, I am not from around here. I grew up with different gods completely," Jordan smiled. "So, me being one without knowlege of Guerre's history, might you tell me a bit about your people, or how the symbol came to be?"

[Deleted]

Magnus reluctantly nodded. "We were assembled after the time from which Almora assended to the heavens. Our purpose is to protect her power that she has left here from the evil ones. We have no other purpose but this. To watch and protect it from evil hands and corrupted minds. Long ago we were at constant war with the evil ones, and it was many years before we rose to victory and established the kingdom for the people she loved to be free and in peace, harmony, and goodness. As the ages grew older, we drew back into the shadows of history, until now we are but a whisper in the ears of men." he had given a brief explanation as he didn't want to reveal so much of his people's culture to strangers.

[Jordan Hielo]

"Fascinating...I hope that one day you one day become more well known once again," Jordan gave a soft smile.

[Deleted]

"Honestly it would be safer if we were not... When we were known, many evils were directed toward us. All in want of the power." he explained.

[Jordan Hielo]

"That is a real pitty, I do not understand why beings even want the power. They wouldn't be able to control it if they had it," Jordan frowned, scratching the top of his head. "I suppose the sheer thought of extreme power would drive people to the extreme to get it."

[Deleted]

"You speak as though you have experience with things such as this."

[Jordan Hielo]

Jordan shook his head while he thought it over. "I speak out of pure common knowlege. Or, what should be common at least. I guess there might be one thing, in my country many tried to kill my family in order to gain power. Luckily they failed, but none the less that is probably the way I am thinking of it. Someone wants power, they will take it. It is just different, taking the power of a noble from the power of a goddess."

[Deleted]

"I can see a bit of a resemblance to the two. And although you call it common knowledge, I fear it may not be so common."

[Deleted]

Kavanah had been in silence for a while trying to think things through, "Is the power that you speak of Almora's tear?!"

[Deleted]

Magnus nodded, "Yes, I believe that is what it has been called before."

[Jordan Hielo]

"Huh? That was the thing you were talking about earlier, wasn't it Kavanah?" Jordan raised an eyebrow.

[Deleted]

Kavanah nodded, "Yes, it was." he smiled at Magnus, "Thank you for telling us what you could. Jordan if you don't have any questions left we should probably head back. It is getting late." the real reason for wanting to leave Magnus' pressence was so he could talk to Jordan about the tear and the happenings of the day without having the ear of Magnus hearing it. Best not to offened the key to finding the tear.

[Jordan Hielo]

"Oh, I do not have anymore questions," turning to Magnus, Jordan smiled, bowing slightly. "Thank you for your time sir, I wish you a good day!"

[Deleted]

The two left Magnus and Yalis after they too had said goodbye and walked back toward the mountain path. "I wonder if they have it, Almora's tear I mean."

[Jordan Hielo]

"I would say they probably don't. He seemed very dedicated, if it were truly the case that they had the tear he would probably be with it," Jordan shrugged, stating his opinion. He thought for another moment, before continuing, "Although, that might not be the case...you never know, they might have it. They might be protecting it. I just think it's unlikely."

[Deleted]

"I bet you are right, but, I bet they know where it is. Why else would the riddle from the ruins send us here. To Hollow and to that exact tree?"

[Jordan Hielo]

Jordan furrowed his eyebrows, shrugging. "Well, I don't know the whole story. But if I had to guess, I think they have a good thought of where the tear is. Probably not exactly where, a general idea. And it has to be somewhere in the Avaleur area, places like Avaleur and Hollow. Why else would he be in Hollow if that's the case."
