Snippet #1268

Arador tutted slightly, "Now that is really two questions, but they do have to do with one another, so I supposes it’s fair." By now Arador had lowered his hands and pocketed them. Satisfied that both men had stowed their weapons for the moment. Taking his time in answering, Arador walked across the glade to lean against a tree. Hoping the two travelers wouldn't kill each other the moment he walked out of the line of fire. All seemed well as he surveyed the scene from his new position. "As for the 'why' of why you're here, I'm afraid I can't tell you that in detail yet." Arador knew that statement would not go over well, so he quickly added. "The current objective is to make it back to Pax Castela alive. I will be acting as your guide for that journey. Upon reaching Pax Castela, the real reason why you have been summoned here will be brought to light. Upon completing that mission you may be able to return home." Though Arador highly doubted it, he'd been trying for years. "So we've covered where, why, that leaves who, how, when. How you got here I couldn't fathom a guess, other than to say through a portal. When? Our mission starts as soon as everyone arrives, so hopefully soon. And who? I do suppose introductions are in order."
