"I'm glad for that" Megan said leaning forward "We used to not be this big of a deal. The Nocturne only had one place, the Nocturne Mansion in Summerhelm, a place exclusive to the bloodline and those we let in because of it's mystical little secret." She leaned back and said "Though now it's "Oh here's the great Nocturne the heroes of Arenith" or being told when you're a little girl "one day you're going to have to save Arenith from some world ending catastrophe caused by the Infernals or linked to them." "

She sighed "I feel like all I do is pointless, that what I want and what I love means nothing to everyone. Do you want to know the reason I wanted to go to Radiance? I heard about the Arena, and I wanted to test my skills to see how my skills with a blade matches up with masters. I love swords" Megan admitted a little pulling out her blade looking at it while it had a slight glint in the sunlight. "The Art and Technique of Swordsmanship, the history behind why some moves were invented, how sword play can be elegant, slow, like a deadly game of chess, or high octane ultra violence for the most hardcore of adrenaline junkies. I love learning about different blades and..."

She paused "And I'm rambling aren't I?" not realizing that her geeking out was making her smile.

"I wish it was that simple. It's not that I hate the blood in me, I just hate the overblown attention it gets. I'm starting to think it's why my dad lived far away from cities" Megan said ending on what could be seen as a joke but she kind of not joking. "However I do respect the legacy in my blood, so just telling every to ignore the Nocturne part of me when even I can't...it just seems hypocritical"

Megan leaned back against the wall again and looked at her now rested blade. "It's complicated...and sometimes spirit breaking and I will admit this isn't the first time I've had these thoughts." She looked at Gilly and asked a seemingly obvious question. "Did you ever really care about me being in the Bloodline?"

"Alright, let's get a move on then." Troy replied, giving her room to stand up.

Megan suddenly hugged her "You have no idea how much that...means to me"

Ana exited the library, glancing around, before looking down at her map. "Where to first?"

Gilly hugged her back after a moment. "You're...welcome?"

"Hm, depends, how do you feel about museums? Looks like they've got a few places spread around, might have something interesting." Troy asked, looking at the map she held.

As Darst and his crew approached the arena, Darst looked to Yimira. "So, this is the arena you talked about?"

"Mhm, just so happens we have the maximum amount of people allowed to enter together at one time too." Yimira replied with a nod.

"How coincidental." Darst commented.

"How exactly do we beat dragons without anything life threatening to other side?" Darius asked.

"They have magic to handle that matter, no worries." Yimira replied. "Well, that's how they did it last time I was here. Might've changed it in the last couple of decades."

"Best way is to go inside and check it out, I suppose." Darst commented. "Maybe we'll watch someone attempt it first, just to get a feel for what we're looking for."

Megan just gave her, her coin purse. "There's about 300 Gold there that I've saved up."

“True, which one though? There’s like...five,” Ana asked.

“Uhh...that’s a lot. I just need like 5,” Gilly said.

Megan gave Gilly 5 Gold and said "I'm going to go register."

Megan smiled and said "Sure, I'm okay with that" She got up and started to lead the way.

Satisfied, Aylmer left for the archery field.
