*Xander is so not happy. He figures he'd been here long enough, and that its about time for him to check in at home, but he can't find the exit. He'd found it before, shortly before coming to this strange city, a path that led back to his world (even if he doesn't understand it as such), but now it was gone. And searching around the city left

[Artimus didn't have any luck with finding a way back either. It got to the point that the former angel requested assistance from Sandrath, but the other angel was unsuccessful as well in his attempts.

It didn't take Artimus long to arrive at the duck pond, despite the minor gashes that trailed across his skin. He spotted Xander and was well aware that the other seemed annoyed about something.]

...Xander? Is everything all right?

[serving_mars]

*Xander throws another rock, then turns and looks towards Arti.*

...no. I'm expected back home but I can't find the way.

[fallenartimus]

[His gaze follows the rock as it landed in the water before returning it to Xander.]

I am sorry to hear about your situation.

[He lowered his head for a moment as he tried to figure out what to say.]

I assume that you have already contacted ever building in the city that contains transportation?

[serving_mars]

*He sighs. Xander is still quite angry, but sees no reason to hold it against Arti.*

Yes, I've checked everywhere I can reach. I used to know the way back, but it seems to have...I do not know. Its not there anymore.

[fallenartimus]

[The former angel nods to the reply before tilting his head.]

Can you show me where this location was?

[serving_mars]

*He considers for a few moments.*

Yes, I think so. But I doubt anything will be there, I checked it multiple times.

[fallenartimus]

I... might be able to get someone to help.

[Despite the risk of being attacked by Sandrath, again. Artimus looked rather uncomfortable by the idea.]

Although, I must warn you that the method will be foreign to you.

[serving_mars]

*Xander furrows his brow.*

What do you plan to do?

[fallenartimus]

I plan on asking a... former ally to assist me with transporting you back home.

[There was a small, forced smile on his lips.]

Are you familiar with sigils?

[serving_mars]

*He shakes his head.*

No, I am not.

[fallenartimus]

They have magicial properties and can become seals if need be.

[serving_mars]

I am not sure how that would help.

[fallenartimus]

One of the sigils can permit teleportation.

[serving_mars]

Why have you not used it to return to your family?

[fallenartimus]

[Artimus opens his mouth to say something but closes it and looks down at the ground.]

I can not use it and the man who can, does not want me to leave.

[serving_mars]

...

*Xander turns his full attention to Arti, frowning slightly.*

Who can use it?
