My sapphire gaze intently watches the strange creature as I await a hopeful answer to my question. One does not come and I am slightly saddened my search would have to continue on. I could not fault him though and so I smile at his response.
I’ve just returned myself. I had hoped to find some guidance at the Mountain, some quest to give me purpose.
I tilt my head in consideration at the dragons' words. I knew of the Mountain as the home of their world's magical entities, but it had never crossed my mind to go there in search of something, much less purpose. I had never considered my purpose I guess, nor to seek guidance in finding it. The world has become much more complex than I remember it being.
My treading has begun to wear on me and so with this I nod and smile to my new friend, "I hope you find whatever you are looking for on the mountain." My eyes blink away the dry air as I look downstream, "I better continue my search as well," I look to the sapphire scaled creature once more. "It was nice to meet you Terin," I pause momentarily before sinking beneath the water's surface and pressing on down the river to find my home.
