Johon would certainly like one of the Sapphire, Ruby, or Aquamarine gems.

Johon sighs and stands up again. The Zothem hovers back to Johon. "Oh..." Alf hands Atramor the sword as Atramor asks Patricia to retrieve the gems.

Alf unsheathes the sword of decay, and offers it to Patricia. "Patricia, would you like to venture to Heroica hall with us?" Just then, the Zothen flies over to Patricia. She whispers something to her, but only Patrcia can hear. "He's a mage, but he never got the proper training. I can't train him. Could you possibly try to?"

Alf nudges Nur with his elbow. "Is there anything else we could do, your worthy worship?" Alf kneels onto the floor and takes out his amulet. "The sun is only a candle compared to you." Alf hands the Amulet to Patricia Ziegfried.

I already did... She's mine Nur...

Alf bows to Patricia Ziegfried. "Is there anything else you would need us to do?" Alf turns to the party. "Do we want to go see what it was about the telescope or not?" OoC: Once we are out of the quest, how will we be able to use the Ziegfrieds' willing to lend us services?

Alf hears a voice inside of his head, but cannot make out the words. He closes his eyes and concentrates. He sees a blurred image of someone walking in a forested area, but cannot make out the face. The thought vanishes, and all he sees is black. He opens his eyes again, yet again seeing the fairy. He rushes towards an alley but the fairy persists. "Have you met before?" "Who is she? Wait how'd you know what I was thinking about?" "You'll know in time." There is a long pause, then Alf remembers what the fairy first said to him. "You called me Johon. My name is-" "Your name... is Johon." "How would you know?" "I thought you knew." "I Would know. I know what my name is. It's not some Johon. My name is Alf. You haven't bothered to tell me who you even are!" "I am your conscience, your thoughts, and a Zothen. I was granted to you as a child. The city had commotion, and I was separated from you. It took me 22 years to escape from Ziens. It took me 2 more years to find you. I saw your ship and came down to you." "Ok now you are really creeping me out. Where is Ziens? I've never heard of a Zothen before! You... Don't... Exist! I don't know who you are, or why you chose to chase me around, but you don't exist. You don't exist!" "Did you ever know?" "Know, Know what?" "Do you know your parents?" "Yes, but..." Alf rushes in circles, then back to the 'Zothen'. "Why am I even talking to myself?! You don't exist." "I'll only exist if you want me to." "Good, because I don't." "I can tell you what is going on. I can tell you who your parents are. I can help you." "I don't need any help! I already know!" "Those aren't your parents." "Who?" "Who you believe are your parents are not." There is a long moment of silence, then Johon speaks. "Fine. Tell me what you want me to know." And with that, Johon is acquainted with the Zothen. Alf walks out of the alley back to the group. Now the group can see the fairy hovering above Johon's shoulder. Note to players: This is the first time the other heroes can actually see the Zothen. Also, nobody knows Johon's real name.

Again, the fairy passed close by Alf. Alf excuses himself from the group and walks over to the fairy. "What do you want? I don't understand who, or what you are." "You don't remember? I thought that..." "I never knew you." "Didn't your parents ever tell you?" "I live in the wild, I'm no fortune teller. Why do you act like Alf know everything?" "You never knew?" "knew what?" The fairy started to fly away, then vanished again. "Knew what?" Nur looks over at Alf, mutters something under his breath and turns back to the Bonaparte. Alf repeatedly mutters the same phrase in low whispers: "Knew what?" What did he not understand about this. Who was this 'fairy' after all? After a few minutes, Alf stops muttering and walks back to the group. But still, the thought bugs him for a long time.

After docking at Eubric, Alf (Johon) walks up to Phillip Bonaparte with the rest of the party. Alf sucked in his breath and tried to talk the most professional. "We managed to find and fight both of the brothers. We did manage to stop them, but one got away..." Alf drops Edward at the Bonapartes feet. "I hope you understand that our QM didn't let us chase Dmitri Dmitri was able to get away." Just then Alf has a thought. He walks over to the group. "Remember man who sell telescope? Perhaps something else we can do about that."

We may never See McCaffery again...

Alf contemplates his past. As he does so, the fairy appears to him again. The fairy motions him over to the end of the ship. The waves splash up onto him as they travel to Eubric. "There is more to you Johon." "Johon?" Just then the fairy flies away again.

Sure. I'd like to.

It's a seal...

Mostly role-playing. Atramor's chicken gets mad and Alf meets a fairy...

Partly, but also partly Pole-play. I posted this before but Alf gets a magic seal when he realizes his true potential:

I hope that this game continues for more a few years. Sandy seemed pessimistic about the game lasting long, but who knows...

I'll reveal a little of Alf's history. Alf never knew his parents. Who Alf thinks is his father and mother just raised him. Alf is actually a descendant of a powerful mage family, who his parents were killed. He was found by who he assumed was his father and mother, and left his home to Heroica thinking this. More will be revealed later.

Alf thinks about his own scar. On the left side of his face, a scar running downward from a never-forgotten battle in his life. He had made a narrow escape from an Orcish tribe. He had barely saved... He washed that thought out of his head. He swept his hand over his scar. It reminded him of it almost as if it happened yesterday. He had killed so many innocents out of his anger. When he looked back up from the water, a little light was hovering above him. After squinting at it for a long time, he realized it was not a light at all, but instead a little fairy. Then, it flew off a few feet, then flies away, vanishing. It doesn't seem that Atramor even notices. Alf decides he was just imagining things...

Alf isn't actually a human... He doesn't know this though. More will be revealed in the future...

Copy-cat...

There is somebody that Alf likes or will like but that's all I'll say now...

After leaving on the ship, Alf goes to bed again. --- After looking around the beds where the heroes were, he realizes Atramor is gone. Alf gets up and walks out of the door into the bright light. Atramor seems to be having a fit inside his hat. After the fit seems to stop, he walks over and sits down next to him. He takes out his once empty potion vial now filled with the leaves. "Your scar. You want Alf help?" Alf offers the vial and a piece of leather to wipe over the X scar on his cheek.

Return of the original heroes!

Alf gets up from his nap and fiddles with some sticks. While he waits, he gets some twigs and forms them into a flattish-tiny tepee and ties it together with some string. he makes 6 of these, one for each member of the group. The sun's ray were really beating down on them after the cold night. He left his bag with the group and walked down to the beach and went to the ship. He changed and walked out into the water and cleansed himself. After his bath, he dries off and got his clothes back on. He went back to the camp and rested for a while. Alf gets up again, takes a good stretch, and walks around the forest, looking for berries or good food. He then brings back his food, sets it in his hat, and finds some leaves to rap around his bruises. After remembering Atramor's scar, he brings some more leaves to the camp. He scrunches the leaves in his hand, and pours the liquid substance onto his bruises. After a small sense of pain, he raps some leather around it. The others are still resting, so he waits for them to awake before offering to do the same for them. Alf decides to go back to sleep.

$1,000,000... This calls for OVER 9,000!!! Though it's kind of funny that it says $1,000,000...
