<strong>@Namiha...</strong><br/><br/>If it had been up to you, you would have never come to the DARK CONTINENT.  It was your father's idea, and it had been a foolish idea at that.  Namiha, your father said that he dreamt that your mother was here.  He had dreamt of her, he had felt her, he had spoken to her, and she was in trouble.  So Christopher, an adventurer himself, set out to the Dark Continent with his party in tow.  It had been easy for him to do so.  He had liquidity.  He had amassed a fortune from his exploits.  His wealth rivaled that of some fiefdoms.<br/><br/>But it had all been for naught.  They never found her mother, had they?<br/><br/>And yes, there were maps, but you were never responsible for making them or keeping them, were you?  No, that was the elf, Benric, who was the one that kept the maps.  Benric, torn to shreds by the beast.
