In spite of all the leg injury, bickering, and random acts of molestation, they'd made it to their destination at last. If taking one hike could be so tedious, he could only imagine how difficult doing almost anything else would be.<br/><br/>He would listen on as the elders of the city welcomed them with niceties and offer of amenities. How kindly Amphelice behaved. He didn't trust it, but he did accept it with a courteous smile. This was admittedly made all the easier as the faint scent of meats and spices wafted into his nostrils, telling his stomach just how empty it was. He hadn't had a decent meal in a very long time.<br/><br/>Fortunately, he managed to keep focus well enough. He scanned and memorized the faces and names of the elders and priest, and keenly absorbed the words spoken. Considering the treatment they were going to be getting, he could only wonder how often they accepted new Champions. He also wondered just how messages were received by Yahir from Ackaedes, and whether he could commune with the God directly. Either way, he would be the ideal person to talk to next. Lastly, he pondered what it could have meant, them ostensibly having too many people. Soon enough, the time for questions arrived, and he stepped forward to speak.<br/><br/><strong>"Ma'am."</strong>He started,<strong>"I'm Gregory Smith, from Earth. Not sure what planet this is supposed to be, but that's a question best saved for later. What I think we all want to know-- and what I'm sure you've been asked many times before-- is why <em>exactly</em> were we summoned here by your God to fight? What kinda monsters require a God's help to defeat, and why doesn't he give this power to your people so you can defend yourselves instead? The abduction and deadly trials with no knowledge of what's goin' on seems like a pretty roundabout way to handle this."</strong>
