"Hm," he said, reclining on a chair, "They are fine, upstanding young people."

"Naturally," he said, walking back to his desk. "But I'm glad you think so. But nevertheless, my good friend. This means that we have found all eight dragons - the ones we need for the ritual."

He sat down. "I trust that now, you will be willing to tell me what we need to know in order to proceed."

He didn't jump to his, so much as levitate himself until he was vertical. He began to pace the room, idly perusing the various decorations and trinkets in the room.

"Oh, if you insist. I do hope you're paying attention, because I hate to repeat lessons and you will be tested on the materials. A very pass or death exam."

"Very well. I am a scholar, though, Slizzath. My age is not wholely indicative of my memory. But continue, please."

"Are you familiar with a the Atlantian offshoot culture known as the Idyllists? A ruin beneath the waves?"

"I am familiar with Atlantis, and you said that you and the Aqualad boy were connected to them," he said. "I suppose that is what you meant?"

"Correct. Long ago the entire civilization was destroyed. The entire thing took less than 24 hours. A whole people broken and gone, with only a few surviving remnants forced to flee elsewhere. The boy and I were among them."

"... I see. Slizzath... I am so sorry," he said. "What was it that destroyed your people...?"

"The king's brother went mad because of the very power we search for. He was hasty and untrained in it's use and tried to take over the kingdom with it...To say he failed is an understatement."

"I see..." Aristotle said, sullenly. "... Was the Orb of Light involved in this scheme somehow?"

slizzlemynizzle November 22 2006, 02:57:40 UTC

"Yes. I glimpsed it during his rampage. It is more than likely still there. Buried."

"I see. Then it is fortuitous that we found Aqualad," he said, with a smile. "You two, you could collaborate on retrieving it. And in the proccess, the boy can become more in touch with his heritage."

He stood. "Thank you Slizzath. You've helped us take one step closer to achieving our dream."

He takes a deep bow, pulling his hat across hos chest.

"Ever ready to help, as usual. I do so enjoy unlocking the past."

togainforever November 22 2006, 03:14:18 UTC

He nods. "Thank you again, my friend. Now, I trust you are quite ready to retire? It gas been a long day..."

slizzlemynizzle November 22 2006, 03:17:58 UTC

"Indeed."

He bows again and marches out, disappearing into a portal he created just outside the door.

"Enjoy these long days in their entirety, you gullible old fool. You have precious few of them left..."
