Andrew returned the princesses embrace. "Thank you my liege. It has been a long time hasn't it." He looked over to where Tyger knelt, not realizing the half-beast had remained. "You are right though princess, time is of the essence. As much as I would love a break, I don't think we have that luxury." He watched the princess move to the throne, opening the secret passage. His eyes went a bit wide, even he hadn't known about that passage. Listening to the princess, he followed her and Tyger down the stairs. "Of course my liege. You are correct, many of the legends I am aware of, but never having actually seen anything like this, I was always under the impression that they were just stories. Legends told to help kids sleep at night." He looked at the murals on the walls in front of the door. There was the great flood, the sages, the seven maidens, all of it. The most striking feature was the three goddesses. Each leading down a path.<br/><br/>"Power, Wisdom, Courage. Each alone grants great power, but together, they create the most powerful artifact ever known." He still couldn't believe the stories were actually real. Listening to her name the goddesses, and describe their roles in shaping the world, he just stood there looking in awe. IT almost didn't hit him at first, but as he looked down the paths, he finally realized why they had been brought here. "Are you saying that one of us is the next Hero of Time?" His mind couldn't comprehend that thought. "I... I think you have the wrong person. I couldn't even last as the captain of your guard." He was afraid, but still, if the princess believed in him, than he wasn't about to back down<br/><br/>"I will go." He had nothing left to give up. He had already lost almost everything except his life. Gripping the piece of wood around his neck, he breathed hard, looking at Tyger. "Whenever you are ready. Looks like we have to go through all three paths. So, where should we start?"
