She pointed, and there was a wooden chair beside him. "I am sorry if it is not comfortable, but Kevin and Yeligar think that I should stay near the cave." She said as she placed her arm down, "Are you thirsty or hungry?"

He merely smiled and sat down, showing no discomfort, simply because he felt none.
"That is quite all right, mylady. I understand them completely too; it is safest."
He smiled again, his green eyes sparkling.
"And thank you so very much for the offer... I would not say no to a cup of water, if you'd please."

"I thought so, it is next to you." She said as she looked at a clay cup next to him, "So, how was the trip here? Some people can get sick when they go though the portal."

Andramir blinked, not really expecting that question.
"Thank you, mylady... The trip was fine, thank you. It felt....strange, certianly, but...how to put it... it kind of felt like I was...floating...or flying; which is nothing new to me... Perhaps that is why I did not feel sick? Perhaps it is simply all the training I went through back at the elven academy of warrior arts, in my homeland... And I am ranting; please forgive me, mylady."
He blushed, not really knowing what made him talk so easily about himself; it was not something he shared easily, and took a sip of water.

"You do not to be sorry." She said, "I asked you a question, and you answered it. So, can you tell me how much you know about the Sumatas XIII."

Andramir frowned; how much DID he really know?
"Umm... Not very much, I'm afraid... I know they're the 13 rulers of the countries beside this one... Crepusculum.. And that they're evil.. They seem to live merely to kill and destroy." His voice grew a little bitter at the end.
"And with all my heart, I want to defeat them. They're wrong in what they're doing, chaos is no good for anyone, and they have no right to create it. They should let normal people lead normal lives, instead of fleeing and fearing extermination."

"That is why I ask Yeligar to bring you here. You are strong at heart, and will help to defeat them." Profeta said, "I will not lie to you. You may get killed or severely injured, but are you willing to accept the risks?"

Andramir blinked once.
"It was YOU who told Maelstrom where to find me...?" He pondered this for about one second, before answering.
"Yes, mylady. Since I was 6 years old and my education as a warrior first began, I have been taught how to take risks, and have done so on numerous occassions after my time as a student was over. I am willing to risk death for what is right. As a warrior, anything less would be cowardise."

"Yes, I am an oracle. I can see into the future, and I know why we must stop the Sumatas XIII. They will kill everything." She said. There was a bit of sadness behind her voice, but only a little. "Now, for your first mission... I would like you go around and explore Allorum, on your own. You may even run into some of my other heroes that I had summoned." She said, as she got up. She picked up a bag, and handed it to him.
"There is some items in here; Maps, water, foods, and a tent." She said.

Andramir rose and bowed deeply at the waist.
"Of course, mylady. If I am to be of any use to you, I should know the land. ...But why would I need a tent? I am used to sleep under the open sky. But thank you very much, lady Profeta."
*****
He took the bag, bowed again, and walked out of the cave, where Maelstrom was still waiting.
"Hello again, sir. I am to...learn my way around."

"Ah, well, any Idea which way you want to head? A lot of people like to go to Santo-Luce." He said as he put out his cigar.

Andramir shook his head.
"I am not here to admire the scenery, but to get to know the landscapes. Do you - we - have a base somwhere? Because I think I would like to find some kind of base and travel around, with the base as a...a...meetpoint. In the middle, so to speak."

"You are standing on it." He said, "This is our 'base'. You have basically had the tour." He stood up and looked at the field in the opening.

Andramir blinked.
"Oh!" Then he smiled. "Well... She kind of ordered me to go alone, and so I will. Is is possible to buy a map of Allorum somewhere?"

"She packed you one. " He said, "She would never let you go without a map. It is probably at the top of your pack."
