The Stars...

[A woman in black appears at the gates. It's impossible to tell if she walked up or if just appeared out of the air

So, this is the place. I expected something else. Something ... more well kept.

No matter. This is where the stars have led me. For better or for worse.

Also, I feel... Ah, that was here not too long ago. Perhaps it will come back.

[Gives Chris a studying look for a moment]

To find the reason why I was guided here. To why there are so many who bare True Runes are currently here.

[esteems]

You know about the True Runes that are gathered here? ...Who are you?

[ladyofstars]

I am Zerase. I could feel the power of them the moment I drew near.

[esteems]

What will you do once you find out the reason?

[ladyofstars]

Watch, observe. I am not one to involve myself needlessly.

However, should things turn drastic I will step in to prevent wanton destruction.

[esteems]

Such as an ancient ritual to destroy a True Rune? [ To a degree, Chris is unwholesomely amused on the inside. If only Zerase were here a year ago. ]

[ladyofstars]

How I wish I was here for that conflict. The Five Elements are not Runes I normally watch for. However, I believe now is the time to correct that error.

[esteems]

You say that like there is going to be another conflict soon...

[ Not that she's skeptical about it. As a knight one should know there's no such thing as lasting peace. ]

I am Chris Lightfellow, of the Zexen Knights.

[ladyofstars]

I cannot say. But if Single True Rune can cause a war… Best to be on the safe side.

[Bows her head slightly] I see.

[esteems]

[ Chris wonders for a moment if Zerase has heard about her, or just how much she knows regarding True Water. However, out of nature, she doesn't quite fully trust Zerase right now to even bring up her rune. ]

I suppose we'll be seeing each other for quite some time.

[ladyofstars]

Indeed we shall, Chris Lightfellow, indeed we shall.

Tell me, did you have much interaction with the Star Dragon Sword while it was here.

[esteems]

Indeed, there was a boy here who wielded a sword with such a name. He and I did not have much interaction, however.

...I think I heard him say once that the sword did not belong to him. Could it be yours?

[ladyofstars]

[almost smiles in amusement]

The sword belongs to no one. I the sword and I have a history, however.
