Proof of what?

[lastyears_model]

El Dorado.

[daddyslilpyro]

El Dorwhato?

[Sorry Lucca, you're in for a small lesson (sort of), wanted or not.] El Dorado; it was believed to be a city of gold but as a contrary to that popular belief, it wasn't a city of glittering gold, it wasn't a city at all. "El Dorado" was also commonly known as "The Golden Man" and that's what it turned out to be. It was literally a "golden man" - a huge, solid gold statue, founded by some colonists over some 400 years ago.

[daddyslilpyro]

Well well! That actually sounds quite interesting!

[lastyears_model]

It is! Of course it ended up being cursed, but what treasure located deep inside of forgotten temples nowadays isn't?

[daddyslilpyro]

Tell me about it. I've got a hell of a story as to how I eventually discovered the ability to power my solar batteries.

[lastyears_model]

Solar batteries? That sounds interesting.

[daddyslilpyro]

Tails helped me perfect the design. The goal is to get most of the city running off of them eventually.

Of course the key component is an ancient relic known as Sun Stone.

Definitely save on the electric bills that way. [Not that we pay them or anything, lololol.]

Sun Stone? You mean the Aztec calendar stone? How would that help anything to power a city?

[daddyslilpyro]

Not a calendar stone. It's a remarkable alloy that actually absorbs and stores usable radiation from the sun. Expose it under direct sunlight for a few eons and it has enough power to fuel an entire floating nation. No joke.

[lastyears_model]

I've never heard of anything like that; and you have it with you?

[daddyslilpyro]

Well... shards of it.

[lastyears_model]

And I imagine the shards just don't compare to the whole stone, hm?

[daddyslilpyro]

Nothing does, really. But I prefer being one of seven people who knows where the stone is now to having it in any place where it can fall into the wrong hands.

[lastyears_model]

Ah, so it's just hidden away then? Hm... [Nate would kill for that (probably literally) if it was worth a lot of money.] Then better to have shards of it than nothing at all.
