Beate and Guion have an idea that when Erephir talks to Alaria and the team decides what to do with the money, what to buy, and how to prepare, they should go to Ornament and see if the flags have been made according to their designs.
"Actually, you're right, I hadn't thought about the lack of well-known male deities before. Very interesting observation, Erephir," Alaria nodded approvingly, "and your theory about our perception also makes sense. There are substances in this world that are not given to every mortal to see—those same green auras that are characteristic of us," the girl hesitated, unsure whether she should mention her experience using the Eye of Vermontia, "after mastering the School of Baldr, I myself seemed to see more clearly, becoming more sensitive to the invisible elemental energies around me. So I wouldn't be surprised if these images are a result of the limitations of our perception."
"It's not quite the conversation I expected. Erephir seemed like a simpler person to me, not one to ponder subtle matters."
-- By the way, do you remember, I told you about Na? It turns out that she is the one sitting in the Mindjin market. She has that historical collection for sale, which I didn't manage to get my hands on... Before we go to kill a dragon, we need to educate ourselves! We'll spend some of the funds on books and go to the library. I think that's right, because a warrior without education is just a barbarian, that's why we exercise our minds in the breaks between physical exercises.
-- Thank you for the pleasant conversation, newfound sister, I hope they didn't eavesdrop on us too much, as they usually do. But they should understand that everything is private. And I'm going for a walk.
