"An ancient among ancients..." Caelidorus remarked, frowning slightly. "That... That is not a comforting thought. Especially if this ancient were to be like one such a Nrilgroth. Though the fact that anything is still alive would suggest it isn't... even so, not something I want to think about. But could defeating Nrilgroth really unleash something even more powerful? If this other truly is terribly powerful, how could Nrilgroth's existence somehow contain him?"
Caelidorus blinked and narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze quickly scanning over the icy expanse. Eventually he looked away, frowning subtly as he glanced to Matt.
"...I cannot tell. I thought I saw something... but maybe not. Entirely possible that paranoia is getting to us..."
"To be honest, I'm not entirely certain," Forlirn replied. "Abyssal energies are named so because they originate in the Abyss. Void energies... well, I've always been under the impression that they come from a plane known as the Void. They're both energies of a darker sort, so I've not been surprised that they've had similarities. I suppose it could be possible that the Void contains excess Abyssal energies, but I doubt that is the only part of its composition."

~Keen eyes these ones have. I must be more careful when letting my guard down.~ Taika thought. ~Hmm... The idea of this "Void" seems more complex the longer I listen to them... Could it possibly be that these energies are somehow related to what allows those of my race to shape-shift? No, that is simply impossible. The odd physical mutations could be slightly related, yet our energies are much less destructive.~

"Indeed. It is rather unnerving to think that this whole war with the seekers could very well be the game of an even more powerful ancient. Imagine that. Nrilgroth, with all of his power, could be a pawn in another game. As for why we still exist, my theory is that this 'Other' doesn't actually want to exterminate all life. Rather he wants to use life for his own ends. I don't know if defeating Nrilgroth would actually unleash this other, but I bet it would attract it's attention." Matt said. "Either way, I do not know much about the ancients, but if they seem to think the 'other' is a threat, then we should as well."
Matt again peered in the direction where the person had been seen. "Hmm... you're right. There's nothing there. It could just be nerves getting to us." He replied.
The convoy managed to pass through the poorer section of Glaruindem. Rather then typical peasant housings, there were instead a series of manors belonging to the rich and famous. A few people passing by glanced at the convoy, but did not appear to take much interest in them.
"It seems that we are finally nearing our destination. I can't say that I will miss the journey. I look forward to getting out of the carriage and touring the city." David said.
"Right, there is not supposed to be anything going on until dinner right? That ought to give us a chance to take a good look around." Anne replied.
"Yes. I noticed a market when we were passing through the common region. Perhaps there will be something of interest. I say we head there once we reach the palace and settle in."
"That sounds like a plan."

"Either way Forlirn I would like to read your research. Perhaps I might ascertain more about the void from your work on the abyss. If the two are related in the way you suggest then perhaps the combination of your research and mine will give us both better insight into the workings of the void and the abyss. But for now let us focus on our goal. We can talk more of the void and abyss later." said Rhen.

"Say Rhen, if it is not too much trouble, I would like to know more about how your race works. I mean, why exactly do you not need to sleep? For that matter, how does food serve as an adequete replacement for sleep? Lastly, why exactly do you have immortality from aging? I would think that such a thing would be impossible." Matt said.

"It is no trouble Matt. I would be glad to answer your questions. We do not require sleep because we constantly pull in energy. We pull in magical energy from Elune when we are there and the energy from nature when on Nueva. Food has nothing to do with why we don't need sleep. Like all forms of life, we require nourishment to keep our bodies strong. Also consuming food, like with other forms of life gives us more energy even if it is little. How it is we keep from ageing, it is just how we are created or so the Elder told me. Does that clear up a few things?" said Rhen.

"It clears stuff up about as much as it can considering i'm not that much of a scientist. I'm sorry to keep bothering you, but I find your kind to be quite interesting considering you are not naturally created. I'm sure you can understand the interest for me. But anyway, what did you mean by absorbing the energy from nature? I can't quite figure what that could mean. Would that also mean that by entering into a city, where nature is less prominent, you would recieve less energy?" Matt asked. "For that matter, just how does a watcher come to be? Are you created through some sort of potion or magical spell? I must confess that I find that concept to be quite facinating."

~So strange! A being could be created from a spell? What a powerful spell this must be! Absorbing energy from nature... Such a vaguely familiar concept...~ Taika thought, shifting her weight from one foot to the other, and causing a subtle crunching noise. ~Oops... Let us hope that their ears are not as keen as their eyes.~

"Before I answer that......tell me something Matt......How is it that humans can harness the sun and the wind to produce electricity? If you can answer this then the answer to your own question can be answered. But I will provide you with the answer from what I can figure from what research I have done. In a watcher's blood so to speak there are special cells that can absorb light from the sun here in Nueva. I am not sure how to explain it from there though I think the cells act in the same manor as the stomach and convert the absorbed light into energy for the body. But that is just theory. As for our creation...........it is a very complex magical ritual. Days before the ritual takes place all work on research is halted and focus is put towards collecting energy. From there we channel all the excess energy we have collected both magical and natural into a focus. As we all pour our energy into the focus, it begins to take shape into the form that the energy chooses. Once the focus has chosen its form whether it be male or female, the energies merge and give the form life. The actual process is much more complicated so I gave you the brief easy to understand version." said Rhen.
"Did you hear something? I could have sword I heard a noise. Aside from us talking of course." said Rhen.
