Welcome to Gaia! ::

Deep inside the sacred mountain of Joahnn was a deep cavern. Kept cool by the spring water that flowed across the paths that wind here and there, forming a tangled web of trails, a complex map wouldn't ever siffice to find your way around.

The closer you get to the main chamber, the hotter the air becomes, heavy with a strong presence of power. As you rewach a large pair of stone doors, it becomes painfully obvious that only powerful souls have ever been allowed to enter this place, and only a select few were permitted to leave.

The large doors are carved with dragon speak, an ancient language long since dead as the dragons of old were slain in conquests, and for their precious hides. They stand high against the caverns ceiling, making it impossible for one to push them open, so other means are to be used to enter this secluded place.

With Imre beside, Gene finished his prayer and strode into the forbidden cavern, his steps beginning to echo off the walls already and the outer light beginning to lose its grip around them. Without a word he chanted a short spell and drew a simple sybol in the air before him, then let his palm lay open in front of him. Directl at the bottom of the symbol he drew (for a flame) a fire ignited in his palm and illuminated the next four metres ahead of him. gene became thankful at himself for having at least some convenient skills such as this.

Before he came up to the fork he turned around and asked "Sire, does the cavern hold dangers such as collapsing floors, and relentless boulders? A friend I once spent time with told me about things such as these. until now I don't know if to believe they are true or his imagination was very wild?"

Gene gulped as he took in the information that was practically draped around him like a blanket. "Wow... I still have so much to learn, in-- and outside of runology." He momentarily looked ahead, trying to make up his mind on which way to go. He thought long and hard for this choice, possibly one of the most important choices he'd have to make throughout the journey, was which way to start.

"Alright, I choose to go right. I guess this where we depart, sire." He finished with a frown, saddened that he had to leave the king so soon, but intrigued inside as to what lay ahead of him good or bad.
Then came that moment of destiny. He took that first fateful step forward to the right...

Gene treaded carefully down the bumpy path. The air began to lose its warmth behind him and he could feel it, the further he went the colder it became but he didn't take his eyes off the road ahead... or the walls. He walked slowly, examining the floor and walls for anything out of the ordinary with the aid of the brightly-burning palm-fire.

"Lord? I am not your lord... but I'm here to test my loyalty so I may serve him without doubt."

Gene thought over the situation for a bit. "One always lies, one never lies. He took his time to picture the outcome of his first question. He found himself mentally being tied up and hung at how many of his example questions got bad or unsure answers. He sat down and crossed his legs, going into a trance. "Alright, I'll asky you guys one question, I may have more if i don't fully come to terms with your reply."

Gene smiled at the two old brothers for a bit. "Okay, whic door honestly leads to sanctity (sp?) and king Imre's unknown room?" He asked, the question was but a test to verify their reaction. Then Gene thought about what the borther said...
((after))

Gene wasn't deterered by what he received as answers. But they made sense. he thought for a bit again... then asked "Alright, you, in the blue, which way leads to Imre's room?"
"You in the red, if the door behind your borther leads to Imre's room then surely, does that mean that the door behind you leads to certain death?" at the end of his questions Gene held his chin and snapped a finger. He cracked a half-smirk and pointed toward the brother that answered first.

"But how do I know for sure, gentlemen... when you in the red always lies. In case you haven't noticed, you answered my qestion truthfully." Gene lowered his hand and pointed for a brief period at Red.

"But if your borther tells the truth, and one of you lies, namely you, then it would mean that you sir, are the liar. You said your way leads to Imre's room whereas your brother says his way leads to certain death." Gene spoke to Blue quizzingly and looked to Red before continuing,

Gene had come to thinking repeatedly over his getting Red to answer the question, and agreed with Gene's question. Now it seemed they both told the truth. "In the red, tell me again which way leads to Imre's room? It seems to have slipped my mind." His voice was mellow and scientific for the moment.
