Hermes paused a moment... lowering the slightly glowing waterbowl in his arm.<em>"He told me not to involve you.  With everything.  This was getting murky... he would have hated for me to have called upon you."</em><br/><br/>Sighing, he took a few steps closer to Calista, she was still quite young compared to most of them.  Something the others had to remind themselves of occationally.  With a sigh, he began settling in as he spoke.<em>"If you want me to... I can explain everything.  The cover ups.  How you as Hephaestus's lineage can act as a link through the Ichor... with which we can find our lost metalsmith.  This Ichor, though, doesnt exist outside of its souce except in the great wave of light.  Blood is only blood after all. But..."</em>he said leadingly before vanishing in a blur.  Looking down, startled, Calista would find a drop or two of blood dripping from her inner arm.  He reappeared a few feet away with the bowl sparking up with an obvious manifestation of Ichor.  Hermes smiled as he continued.<em>"... it takes soooooo loooonnng to explain."</em>He said as he rolled his eyes.  Everything seemed so damn slow to him.<br/><br/>In his arms, the fishbowl was glowing and bubbling before erupting a glowing spike of pure golden light in a prismic form... kind of bobbing in the bowl playfully before slowly turning around a few times before slowly pointining like a compass needle, though one which floated angled in the water... and glowing brilliantly.  Instead of pointing North, though, it pointed out South East.  Hermes glanced back over his shoulder, sure his antics were charming as he shared a nigh innocent smile.
