Dos: You know what they say about making assumptions.

[needs_a_plan]

All right. First of all, NO ONE SAID WE WERE STAYING. I just want that out in the open right now. Of course, no one said we were leaving... Anyway. The tent is perfectly acceptable. Could be a little cushier, but I've had worse. I'm almost getting used to having Spear Guy as a next-door neighbor. Everything would be just peachy if Señorita

You two are entertaining, heh.

...El Dorado?

[needs_a_plan]

Oh, go polish your spear.

City of gold.

[fireofshandora]

Heh.

...City of gold? The name sounds familiar; Fujiko mentioned it to me when I told her of Shandora. She said it was a myth.

[needs_a_plan]

It's no myth. Most people think it is, though. What's Shandora?

[fireofshandora]

It is the great city of gold that I once protected.

[needs_a_plan]

...With your spear?

[fireofshandora]

The one that fell the Sea King in a single blow, yes.

Among other things.

I did not protect it alone; the rest of the Shandorian warriors willingly followed me to battle.

[needs_a_plan]

Sounds like El Dorado, all right.

[fireofshandora]

Did your El Dorado have a belfry as well? What was it like?

[needs_a_plan]

A what? ...It had a lot of tall buildings, pyramids, giant animals...the people were friendly enough, I guess. And gold. Lots and lots of gold.

[fireofshandora]

A belfry. Shandora had one that we called the 'Fire of Shandora'.

[needs_a_plan]

Oh. They didn't have one that I noticed. That's nice, though. Is it all gold?

[fireofshandora]

Yes, it is solid gold. It was a symbol of our pride of our heritage.

[needs_a_plan]

Well, I'd sure be proud of it.

[fireofshandora]

I'm told it is all that remains of the gold from Shandora, but as long as the Belfry exists and still rings, then I am content.
