He had never been asked what he<em>wanted</em>to be called. He’d always been called Ramzi. That name had been given to him, he had no say in it - which was not to say that he disliked it, factually until this moment he had never given it any real thought. Now he could be called anything he wanted. “<strong>Ramzi will be fine,</strong>” He settled on, a few moments later that revealed the question was one he had to think about. With that thought tucked away, and the feud seemingly settled for now, his mind was free to consider the question that had been asked.<br/><br/>“<strong>Banishment isn’t really a suggestion, rare as it is. I don’t know that trying to make our way back is the right course of action. But… We may have lost our ability to travel between the realms, but the realms are all connected. Cracks between them, secret passages and hidden pathways. If we could find one we could in theory make our way back, but those ways are rarely without their own dangers.</strong>” He explained, following along with the rest of them. His hands folded in front of himself again as he mellowed and entered thought. “<strong>But if we are discovered, and if we made our way back to Elysia we almost certainly would be, we are likely to encounter… resistance. The position of arbiter was unique and created for unique situations, but the Elysium has many enforcers. If an attempt to undermine their declarations is made, they will send those enforcers to enact a more severe punishment. The Elysium is not known for being forgiving. They will not see homeless Celestials trying to get home, they will see traitors attempting to break into Elysia and respond accordingly.</strong>”<br/><br/>Quite followed and he continue to think. He watched the interactions of others curiously. He listened to the way Fen described him to Korey. Was that how all saw him? Likely. It might have bolstered a more prideful man, or wounded a man of weaker will. For Ramzi it was an interesting thing to hear. He’d never describe his role like that, and it had certainly never been described like that to him. But then, those on the outside knew less about it. “<strong>However, our time here should be uneventful. Of all the realms, Gaia is the most peaceful. There are general accords between all of the realms to leave it be. Our presence here is an odd anomaly, if looked at in the long term. They will be looking for a reason to act. Banishment is a… I know of no one that has been banished to Gaia before now. When the Elysium enacts a banishment, it is usually to another realm to which they have wronged in the extreme. It gives them the ability to display mercy to the people, but stay favored by the other realms by turning the case over to them to resolve. But Gaia is a realm that doesn’t interact with the others like that.</strong>”<br/><br/>Ramzi realized that he was rambling and closed his eyes for a few steps. “<strong>To your question... When and if we attempt to make our way back, and it is discovered, we will be opposed. There will be no warning, the enforcers that are sent for us will be out for blood. And once that ball is rolling, it will not stop. If they send agents to deal with us, and we prevail, they will just send more agents. We will be inviting war with the platinum legion, and if needed, worse things at the Elysium’s disposal.</strong>”
