The sound of flowing water from the fountain offered Sapphire some small comfort from her busy day of working odd jobs and training her magic. 

She couldn't believe how strong she had gotten since she first awoke in traverse town. She was sitting on the edge of the fountain leaning ever so slightly back looking up at the stars. As she raised her hand towards them water rose up behind her as she did making bubbles. 

The scene was very beautiful and offered a sort of mystical effect around her. 

She dropped her hand as the water followed suit she leaned back more enjoying the peace.

Nilus was once again, unsurprisingly lost within the world of Traverse Town. He was beginning to hate this town. All the streets looked the same, it was dark a lot, and worst of all! He lost that map he had the last time he was here. 

Today he found himself near a fountain, it was a pretty sight, not as beautiful as the fountains back home but this one in Traverse Town certainly wasn't bad! 

Luckily for Nilus he spotted something.. Or someone else next to the fountain. 

"Excuse me Civilian! I am searching for the coliseum! I heard it was an extraordinary sight within this small town"
Mark
Sapphire looked up towards the man as she pointed in the direction of the Coliseum before realizing the street had many twists and turns. "I would tell you to follow the path but you could probably end up getting lost."

She hopped off the small ledge of the fountain as she placed a hand to her chin thinking. She could always show him the way which would probably be the best bet. "If you follow me I can show you where the coliseum is. It's a bit of a walk though." 

She took a note of how he was dressed wondering if he was from another world such as herself, of course this is Traverse Town so she held her comment to herself.
Stacey
Yes! His luck was changing. Maybe this town wasn't so bad after all. He gratefully took the young woman's help as she correctly predicted that Nilus would absolutely get lost in this town. To be quite honest, Nilus didn't really take directions well, or listen well really. He was more the type of person to listen to his instincts and intuition and let his gut feeling guide him.. Except his gut feeling kept getting him lost. 

"Excellent! I shall graciously accept your offer. All these streets look the same to me.. Please lead the way." 

Nilus offered the lead to the woman as he would follow suit behind her. Despite his general distaste towards this world and the unfamiliarity behind it, Nilus had to admit the people he had met so far had been exceptionally kind and helpful, that was something familiar that he certainly appreciated.
Mark
Sapphire began to lead the way walking in the general direction of the coliseum deciding to make small talk. "I'm Sapphire by the way. If you don't mind me asking where are from?"

She gave a cheerful smile as she continued to walk a little bounce in her step as if she was happy but what that could be is anything. "Your outfit suggests your a visitor from another world like me. Although hopefully on better circumstances" She made a mental note of his chosen outfit style comparing how different it was to hers. She felt a bit embarrassed as she had so far been the only one to have worn a crown but of course it was purely accessory.
Stacey
N: Nilus extended his hand to greet Sapphire once she mentioned her name. It seemed that Sapphire correctly guessed that Nilus was from another world.. It seemed everyone was able to guess that! Was it really that obvious?! Nilus as ever, completely oblivious that his clothing and the way he spoke was clearly quite different to most people. Clearly the aspiring Hero could not understand that if everywhere and everyone was unfamiliar to him then he would be unfamiliar to them too! 

"Yes! Correct. I am from Olympus! Have you heard of it?. I can tell you so much about it.. But what do you mean better circumstances?" 

Of course Nilus noted the crown, but he assumed it was some type of accessory similar to the wreath in his own hair. Maybe they shared something in common, some fashion sense of all things.
Mark
Sapphire continued their walk as she began to think of how to explain a world falling to someone. "Hmm I never heard of it. I'm actually from somewhere that doesn't know other worlds exist."

She decided to try and avoid his question on better circumstances and instead mention a fact about her world. "Even magic didn't exist there." She gave off a light chuckle as she talked with Nilus. 

"Tell me more about Olympus. From what I can tell about you it seems to be a rather interesting place"
Stacey
Nilus seemed to get quite excited as Sapphire spoke more and more about the world she came from and her experiences as they were quite similar to Nilus' in a way and this was the first time he was experiencing this since he left Olympus. 

"Interesting! I believe Olympus has magic but I don't know how to utilise it whatsoever." Nilus would continue to spout more and more facts about Olympus seemingly already forgetting that Sapphire ignored his question.. He must be homesick or something with how excited he was to talk about his home. "I spent most of my life studying to become a Hero! There's also lots of Arena's and Coliseums.. That's why I wish to investigate the one in this town, I'd like to compare it to Olympus'" 

"Would I be correct in assuming you are not magically inclined either? If magic did not exist in your world."
Mark
Sapphire pointed a finger up as a small orb of water formed out of thin air as she gave a smug look on her face followed by another chuckle. She enjoyed hearing about his world and how there were some similarities to between both. 

"Quite the opposite! I turn out to be full of Mystical powers!" She then snapped her fingers as the water froze solid in place. "I'm sure magic existed in my world but no one knew how to use it. So we just thought of it as a figment of imaginations and a source of stories." 

She felt happy being able to talk about her home even though she wasn't able to go back even if she wanted. And hearing about another's world fed her curiosity even more. "I'm curious about these arena's although I'm sure Traverse Town's coliseum pales to Olympus"
Stacey
Nilus had witnessed magic before but that still did not stop him from being impressed and he made zero intention of hiding that impressed expression on his face. He was a warrior and an Olympus Hero (aspiring) so of course, immediately he fixates on how magic could be used to better develop this training and push him onto his path of becoming a Hero. 

"Incredible! I often wonder how my life might have changed had I been magically inclined.. Alas the fates are cruel. My strength makes up for it however, back on Olympus my strength is second to none of course." 

Although Nilus was indeed strong, it was difficult not to imagine how strong he could've been with the assistance of Magic. Would he have been a Hero already? Would he have been chosen by the Gods to become their champion? There was a jealous pit in his stomach that he couldn't quite overcome.
Mark
She waved her hand in embaresment as the spell faded away. "It's nothing special while I'm gifted with incredible magic prowess I'm not as athletic as most and I find my own strength lacking. Sometimes I wonder what I could accomplish I had the physical fortitude like others"
Once again another similarity how they wondered if they had the other's prowess. She then caught sight of the coliseum but it was still a good ways away. "That's amazing still, maybe your incredible strength came from some magical means." She gave another chuckle as she placed her hands toghether behind her back as the pair continued to walk.
Stacey
Sapphire was actually quite close to the basis of Nilus' strength but he did not really want to spend the next few minutes explaining his heritage to her and discuss how he is a descendant of Zeus.. Or even who Zeus is so he just laughed at her comment. 

Nilus felt the same familiarity that Sapphire felt when she mentioned how she wished she had the same physical fortitude as others. That pit of jealousy in his stomach from earlier felt much smaller and it was relieving to hear he was not the only one who suffered from a under appreciation of their own skills. He stopped for a moment, an idea spouting within his mind. 

"You know Sapphire.. I admire how similar and yet dissimilar we are. Perhaps, once we reach the coliseum we could display a show of your magical prowess and my physical prowess.. A battle may be what we need to find a deeper understanding and appreciation for our own strengths and short comings."
Mark
Sapphire stopped for a moment as she thought to herself about the idea of a battle. A friendly contest between the two would be fun to see whose own strengths outmatched the others. She then nodded her head at the idea it would be fun and a great way to grow stronger and learn more about others fighting styles. 

"You're on! Although I don't plan on going easy on you all I ask is that you do the same. It's no fun if we both hold back our true strengths." She continued to lead the way to the coliseum as she continued her talk with him. It was nice finally meeting someone who was so vastly different from her but also in the same metaphorical boat.
