The Meteor

[Tobias]

Tobias slept that night, but slept rather restlessly. He dremt again, much like he did in the Rusty Wench earlier that week. This time, though, the dream was much more depicted. He felt as if he almost was in the dream. But what was he actually seeing?

Tobias saw himself back at the navel of life, on the planet Eden. He seemed to stand there for an eternity. Finally, Time flew ahead of him, and he flew past the trees of the magical valley, over the South Mountains, to the open plains of Eden. Time then suddenly decided to hit halt, and Tobias found himself staring at the rock face, and as he turns around, he sees a vast army, of sages of all abilities. After what he had caused, he had a feeling that the royal government would be against him. He DID destroy the largest concentration of Magic on all of Eden, afterall. After he stood there, he saw a man mounted on a large horse, wearing the royal Armor. The armor that was promised the only the royal family heirs to wear. He weilded a sword almost opposite of Tobias' Eden. Both of hte swords resonated, and the man took off his helmet, only to have his face shrouded in shadows. Tobias Could see his mouth moving, but words escaped him, and he couldnt hear anything. He saw the man on the horse start to call out, but sound did not resonate from him. all he could here was the wind blowing on the planes.

Then the worst part came. Tobias looked into the distance, and felt a strange, but oh so familiar disturbance in the fabric of energy. He felt her flame once again. The flame that had helped him through so many battles. Tobias watched into the distance, and saw the woman burst out of rank, and take off after Tobias, tears welling in her eyes, which almost seemed to wick of fire as she ran. Then suddenly, her eyes Widened, and her hair was no longer red with fire, but was brown again, as she started to topple over.

As she landed into Tobias' arms, Tobias woke, with sweat covering his head and hat. Tobias took off his hat, and stared up into the sky from his room, and he stared at the now blue sky. He did not know what the dream meant, nor did he want to know. All he knew was that he was leaving with Sperrit shortly. Tobias got up, grabbed Eden off of the wall, which it was leaning on. He walked out of the Inn, and sat on a nearby bench.

He was ready

(OOC: hey guys, this is gonna be an RP with me and Sperrit...so sit back, and read the enjoyment that will come )

[Sperrit]

Sperrit was sitting down at the bar. It was late and he was drinking.
Ever since Lygato had knocked him out of his drunken stupor he had grown a liking for beer, though he never let himself get drunk any more. It was easy to manipulate the amount of alcohol in his blood stream. Sperrit grinned bitterly into his cup. Maybe it would be better to get drunk again.... He sighed and put the glass away.
At the windows dim red light was coming over the horizon and filling the bar, painting everything with a red hue. He looked up at the ceiling, feeling Tobias above him in his room, tossing and turning in his sleep. They were setting out today.
Tobias had asked to see a meteor that Sperrit's people had found several years back. They had sensed the giant rock fall from the sky, felt the Earth cushion it, bare it's weight, which was odd. The Earth usually rejected foreign objects. This one was different, however. This one had been welcomed.
The Clan Darkenyr, the metal-shapers, had set off at once, Sperrit, being one of their rank going with them. When they had found the meteor they took trace amounts of it back with them and that was that. The Elder had warned them of tampering too greatly with it, so they left it alone. Now Sperrit was going back, and apparently this same meteor meant something to Tobias as well.
Sperrit stood up and stretched. He picked up a bag on the floor. His eyes lingered on a blue feather, just inside the bag. He stared at the feather for a long momment, then pocketed it.
He waited for Tobias.

[Tobias]

Tobias watched the sun rise, and watched as the distant sky start to transform from its dark luminesent purple, to its orange colors, to its bright sky blue. Tobias stood up, grabbed the stuff that he had been carrying on his shoulder, and started to walk towards the bar.

Tobias thought to himself, if he could recolloect anything...any trace memory from that day...the day that had been so important to him when he came to this world. He passed by Sakura's pockey shop, then a small armor dealer, and finally, in the distance, he could see the pub. He wasnt exactly sure of what he was to expect from this journey, but he knew that it was necessary, and he knew that things will most likely not turn out for the better.

Tobias was now at the pub, and he saw Sperrit inside. He walked in, and sat next to him. He looked down, and took some water that was near by, and sipped it slightly. Both of the travelers just sat there, untill Tobias, while remaining exactly firm in his placement, finally broke the silence

"Hey...lets go."

[Sperrit]

"Hey... Okay!"
Sperrit grabbed his bag and summoned his staff. He placed a leather cloak around his shoulders and fixed it with a clasp fashioned to look exactly like a leaf. He handed a cloak to Tobias.
"You might want this later. We're going to have to go through the temperate rain forest on our way, and this should keep the water off of you. It also contains a small charm that I thought might be useful."
Sperrit steps out of the Inn and looks off to the South East.
"We'll be heading southeast for some time... Ready?"

[Tobias]

Tobias looks at Sperrit: "Lead the way...i dont know where i am going on this trip, so you're the point man here"

Tobias takes off Eden, throws on the cloak, and reclamps Eden to his back

[Sperrit]

Sperrit nods and heads off and starts walking South. Off in the distance they could see a range of mountains rising up out of a forest, the sun shining brilliantly to their left as it rose above the fields. Sperrit, accutely aware of Tobias' discomfort decides to make a stab at conversation.
"So... Tobs... Um...."
Sperrit's mind casts around for something to talk about, and the first thing it finds is
"Why are we going to this place? What meaning does it have for you if you've never been there?"
Sperrit waits anxiously for the answer.

[Tobias]

Tobias holds his head down further as he walks next to Sperrit. He knows why this place is so important...it was his crash site: "Well, that crash site is important to me because it is the beginning of my history on this world, and in this realm. You see, something from my realm, the realm of magic, and threw me into this realm. I dont know why, or how it happened, but it did. The vortex exited in this world's atmosphere, and fired me off in my final stage, or my Ultimate Sage form."

Tobias then lifted his head up a little more: "I flew down and crashed into that section of the world, and created a crater, but for some reason, i didnt die, and the planet didnt reject me, but rather, the planet accepted me into it. It held me under there for 7 days, which seemed like a dream to me. And then, i woke up. I reached out of the earth, and just started to wander. I didnt know where i was, or what i was here for, so i just wandered." Tobias looked at Sperrit: "And that is why it is so important to me, because it was where i first arrived on this planet. Also, there are high concentrations of magic there. I wanted to check it out and see if there was something there that could be relavent to me that i may have left behind."

[Sperrit]

Sperrit didn't say anything for a while. This was all news to him, and he could certainly understand Tobias' desire to see this place... and what significance it might have for him... the place where he started his life as a lone wanderer. Sperrit could understand that.
Sperrit scratched his head in thought. "You know... it's not so unusual that this world accepted you... I imagine that, in some sense, you fill a long vacant voi- ... er... lack."

[Tobias]

Tobias chuckled a little, and then continued to walk, while speaking: "You dont know how much ive been desiring to come back to this place...it almost haunts me at some nights...yet it is only one of the reasons why i dont sleep at nights. I guess it is the filling of a 'lack' for lack of a better word"

Tobias continued to walk, with his head further down now

[Sperrit]

Sperrit nods. "Dreams often have deeper meanings than we can guess sometimes... But I'm no philosopher. I'm just an Earth Elemental."
Sperrit shrugs and points to a range of mountains.
"We'll have to cross those... and I have the misfortune of saying that the passage may not be all that... uneventful...."
