Seeing Ark standing alone upon the other side of the stream, Zanther landed upon the last stepping stone, and stared at the man for a moment, analyzing his motives. After a few moments, the vampire ordered the group to halt upon the bank behind him while he talked to Ark. Once everyone had followed suit, Zanther leapt upon the bank before Ark and gave him a curt nod of his acceptance for the private conference.
"i didnt know who to tell, because i dont want to get every one involved, but Deity was part of this clan, i dont know who they are, but they wear the same clothes as me", Ark said, "they want Deity back, and for me to join them, i dont know what their plan is, but i refused, they said that me and my friends will pay, and that is why i dont want to get every one involved" Ark took a breath, "they all have a different power too"
Zanther took a moment to absorb the information and think it over before asking, "How did Deity's clan approach you? When did this happen and what were their exact demands?" His brows nitted in deep thought as he crossed his arms over his chest, thinking over Ark's dilemma. "...Also, how much time did they give you for their 'kind' offer?'"
"So, you don't remember anything about that particular location? You didn't use your senses? If you didn't then, what sort of things to do you remember about it? Not so much as what it looked like, but how did you feel and other things like that," questioned the vampire, tranisitioning into his interrogative mode.
"well it was damp, but also pretty hot, the air smelt dirty ans smokey, the walls looked like rocks that have been smoothed down, and it was dark inside, they have fires burning around the place" Ark said, "well i know that one of them has the power of teleportation, and another has force field generation, and i believe that one has telepathy, because their minds were blocked from me, and i think that is how i got drawn to the field"
"Sounds like they were able to hone in on your powers and the body you posess like some sort of tracking system," stated Zanther. "Based on your description, sounds like you were underground in a cave or somewhere within' a mountain range that has alot of history with volcanoic activity. Would you happen to know where such a location is in the spirit world? My guess would be somewhere to the south..." The vampire shrugged at that last statement, doubting his hunch in the direction.
"i have know idea, but it might not even be in the spirit world, it felt like it was protected by magic, like the place was invisible, or you have to teleport to get inside" Ark said, he got a little angy that he was not much help, he went to punch a tree, but phased through it, and fell on the ground
"Don't waste your anger on punching a tree until we have all failed in this investigation to find or learn more about this mysterious location. Hope is not lost, if we haven't started trying yet," advised the daywalker, giving Ark a side long glance from his standing point. "It is very likely that there can be locations all over the spirit world protected by magic of some sort. Nearly a century ago, I read a myth that said something along those lines in an old english text in the Vatican's library."
