Zechariah figured Artemis would ask why he was here. Being leader of a tribe was troublesome and stressful. Being a leader, period, always took much to handle. Being Head Priest back at Echelon, he knew the stress all too well. As such, he thought it best the conversation not be long, since he realized there was much she had to attend to. "I was just passing by, after having given a sermon, back home."

Walking over to one of the stalls, he purchased some bait for his rod and went back to Echelon territory. Not only did the church have a yard which bordered Dryad territory, but it was also near a river that had plenty of salmon. Applying some of the bait, he let loose the line and hook and perched himself on one of the rocks along the bank of the river. This was one of few times he could relax before his duties as Head Priest began to take up most of the rest of the day. He had to keep the clergy below his rank organized, after all, with next week's sermons, the charity work to be done within and beyond Echelon borders, education for children, and more. Fishing here was one of few moments where he could even pray to god without an interruption.

There was that, and Adam the Follower, the Co-Piper of Echelon, was not the kind of person which he could be comfortable around. In fact, the very character of that man deeply sickened the Disciple. The "Follower" was an utter disgrace, in his book, always preaching a hateful Gospel different from the truth written in the Bible. Why was that heretic even given a leadership post, to begin with?
