??? (The Origin)

Zack looks at the floating palace, pinching himself.

"Okay... That is just ridiculous... I think it's time I wake up..."

"We appear to be flying in some sort of device towards a floating castle wherein we shall be blessed by the gods."

(As a side note all the PCs will be able to see and hear Art. He will appear as a ghost to them)

Ashley looks over towards the golden palace and is in awe. "Neat, we are going to some huge golden palace in the sky," Ashley says non chalantly. "So why are we going to some golden palace?" Ashley asked. "Was kinda of just snoozing away back there so I missed all of the boring details, but umm yeah this is pretty cool," Ashley says.

"Really Lady Ashley you should be paying more attention to what's going on," Ashley's loyal guardian Art said.

"Oh right all that boring stuff like I said," Ashley replies.

"That boring stuff can be the difference between life and death my lady," Art replies to her.

"Yeah whatever, if only it was more interesting," Ashley sighed.

"So Chewy why are we going to this golden palace are we some type of chosen people or something?" Ashley asks Chewyt.

Ashley then notices Teflon laughing at a joke he made. "I like you, you seem like someone who knows not to take things serpuis all the time like Sir Wet Blanket over here," Ashley said to Teflon while pointing towards Art.

"Isn't it dangerous to leave a helicopter door open? We could fall out. Or more importantly, Tefflon could fall out. With a gentle nudge." She then looks over to Ashley and Arthur. "Nice to meet you." She holds out one of her hands while the other hangs on to the helicopter.

"Hey, thanks for caring about my safety," Tefflon says as he inches away from the open door.

Pars seems to almost freeze up in response to Art, simply looking at the ghost.

Pars: "...Well, that's a... but... hmm."

Cross: "I'm convinced you're all a mistake. The gods were off their meds when they called you all up or something. And stop including me in this anime circle! Look at yourselves first. God."

Rose: "...H-Hey, here we are! Let's look alive, everyone."

One eventful ride later, the helicopter soon approaches the palace, flying over the large, ornate towers of the embassy and landing onto some sort of highly elevated, spacious balcony, connected to the back of the palace and exposed to the shining sky. Exiting the chopper, small steps to regal-looking doors leading into the palace can be seen. What's more noticeable is a peculiar marble sculpture towards the edge of the balcony, the floor providing higher elevation to the already enormous sculpture as if to give it a more imposing image. Looking at it, it seems to be many various persons in some sort of pile, all with an arm stretched outwards as if reaching for something, creating an almighty mass of arms projecting from the mass of bodies. Upon closer investigation, you can notice that some of the people aren't even humans.

Rose: "This statue is known as the Evoker Shrine, where you'll finally be recognized by the god who's chosen you to act on their behalf in this world. To become what's known as a "Power". It's a special thing to be called here. Now, to start the ceremony... *ahem*

You have been beckoned today by the gods themselves to become a Power of the world, to protect and nurture ancient ties of the holy lands to those of the mortal world. By accepting the blessing of the gods, you'll face great evils and perilous situations. There is no guarantee that you will survive. However, you will receive immeasurable power that roars ever stronger with honing, embark on countless days of journey and adventure, and be held in good favor of the gods. If you accept, face and approach the Evoker Shrine, shut your eyes, and take a knee."
