==Synopsis==
The nature of what it means to be a [Hero] is discussed. Out of all the different perspectives to be had about the subject, what it means to be one, how their path should be written, the one thing that [[Isthekenous]] argued for is that the only certainty of a [Hero] is that Heroes cheated.

Near the Zeikhal Desert, Doubte is farming yellats while a sandstorm is happening, he ponders over what the howling winds are telling him. As the winds die down he is interrupted by his oldest daughter, Neirute, about the current news surrounding Zethe and the mines containing chemath marble. As his son Calithe joins into the conversation, it veers towards when he will allow them to venture out on their own. Knowing that his children have inherited many gifts yet lack the understanding of many things, Doubte decides that they are to be taken to Hraace to receive guidance. As Doubte gets ready to leave for his trip he ruminates upon [Heroes] and the thousand of them that he can sense coming from [[Rhir]].

[[Pisces Jealnet|Pisces]] is awaken up from a nightmare, then from Colth, and finally from Ylvon as the camp is getting ready to move onwards. As they eat their morning grub and pack up, Hraace is brought up and who out of the expected group going there is worthy of it. As Pisces and Chivic speak of what it means to be a part of the [[Rustängmarder]], Ceria pushes too far with her banter which in turn makes her receives the ire of Death-General [[Losve]] and is challenged to a duel. Not wanting to die the Horns of Hammerad flee in an attempt to outrun Losve, after a few close calls they were able to lose her by reaching Reim. As they walk through the streets they notice the peculiarity of the children's growth and the slave trade that is happening. 

Before an incident can occurs, Ceria and Yvlon are taken aside by [[Amerys]] and [[Mars]] respectively to dish out some need conversation. Ceria and Amerys conversation centers around their past relationship with [[Illphres]], how elemental magic affects the mage wielding that power, Ceria's loot from the [[Crossroads of Izril]], and the mask they put on around others. While those two are talking Yvlon is constantly being knocked down in her spars against Mars, Mars notes that Yvlon is not ready in the manner of strength to define the battlefield but that she has the experience and mettle that other don't. As mages do whenever near one another, the topic of magic is brought up such as Ceria lacking foundational knowledge and Amerys not being a true [Archmage]. They also note that ever since [[Eldavin]] and his faction became the leading figures of [[Wistram Academy|Wistram]] that the standard of magic has also slowly arisen. They capture a few of the magical carriages that Wistram have been introducing around the world to dig into the secrets of its structure. Pisces is awoken again by another nightmare and is lightly compelled to join in with the other two mages in while they discuss the intricacies of how carriage magically works and fabricated.

Using his skill [Monitor Attribute (Health)], [[Ksmvr]] and [[Vofea]] contemplate on what is causing so much damage to Yvlon. The conversation then shifts to how Ksmvr treats himself as an expendable part of the team with no desires or thoughts outside of what the team wants. Vofea then introduces Rockerton, a rock that she just picked up, as the newest member of the team in an attempt to compare it to Ksmvr's views of himself. With the comparison failing, they go on to discuss Vofea lacking combat ability, their hobbies and such but are interrupted when [[Veine Ecleith|Veine]] brings a message that a scouting group have come across a system of tunnels which is assumed to be a maze created by [[Selphids]].
