"Are you askin' me to tell you the future? Such matters are beyond me. I am a simple warrior, who seeks my purpose through battle. I have no reason to know the future. If I knew the future then there would be little point in my path. Each victory is all the sweeter because of the tension in the moment of conflict. Each test is a new thrill, only because the outcome is uncertain. So if the story were to continue here, it would leave me with little purpose, and little cause to be what I am. So I have no use of such foresight.

However, don't misunderstand. I am certain of my course, just not the outcome. For in battle to many variables exist to know with certainty. I will continue to grow, and test my strength as opportunity presents itself. I will continue to defy the gods until either they are deposed, or I am left unable to fight any longer. I will see victory or die trying. What more need there be?"

[Rusty]

::The stag seems puzzled at first, then seems to realize something.::

"So you go on from here to challenge the gods, slay them one at a time, and stand victorious atop a mountain of their bodies! How glorious! But what of their responsibilities? What happens next?"

[Liquidprism]

"You need not worry about that, there are others with me to solve such problems. I have allies who are willing and able to hold this world up, should the need arise. I am simply an instrument of the world's wrath, unfit to bear such responsibility."

[Rusty]

::The stag's concern seems unabated, but he drops the issue.::

"I wonder, should you fall before finishing your mission, would a son of yours pick up the mantle? A daughter? Or have you no children of your own?"

"My mantle was taken up by my son, and his son, and so on, are you the same as me?"

[Liquidprism]

"I have prodigy, but I do not know them. I was on a journey to see one of them for the first time when I got waylaid here. As to whether one would take up my mantle should I falter, I can only expect they would do so, should they feel so obligated. However, I do this so no other has too. I do this so the world can be a place for them to grow and prosper.

I will gladly sacrifice myself to this end, and I refuse to die until I see my task done."

[Rusty]

::The stag reflects on this last statement with some gravity, for some time. As the rose-white orb begins to illuminate the break of day, the stag breaks from his reverie.::

"I find this concerning, and exciting! I look forward to seeing the changes to the firmament that you seem to herald. These must be interesting times. Alas, it is day, and I must rest."

::At that, the stag will slowly head to one of the larger groves, where he lays down for the day.::

[Liquidprism]

Imoak nods a farewell to the creature, and heads back toward the portal to rest until such time as it can be opened.

[Rusty]

::After resting through the day, amid the scented breezes and calm environment, the portal manifests as the rose-pink sun fades. A light glows from the tree-home in the figure of the nymph, as she channels her accumulated inner power to force the portal open.::

[Liquidprism]

Imoak saddles his gear, and steps through the portal.

[Rusty]

::You are returned to whence you came.::

[The mark Rrerrin made on you tingles with power. You may open the portal TO the fey realm from any other plane by spending: 1 rage/day and 1 constitution, per person to enter the portal. This takes 1 minute to complete, and the constitution will return after a nights rest.]

OOC: Weird.. but okay.
