He watched her eagerness and a smile that he held only widened as he watched her more "I knew there was a reason why I needed you..." It was then he realized her question his smile left as he sent a hand over his left eye "I did see it...Nikki touched it...in the process I got this" he moved his hair out of the way exposing an eye patch that he raised it, showing a pale eye that carried the same symbol. "...and I'm also cursed..."

Lilith's eyes seemed to gloss over for a moment as she stared at a random spot on the floor. "Of course." She muttered eventually, her eyes refocusing and her hands shifting through the papers. "It was a trap." She stared at the symbol for a long moment, then looked up at Mathius once again, speaking moreso to herself. "It's coded to to seem fairly straightforward. But..." She returned to staring at the papers, her unfinished sentence hanging in the air as her mind seemed to race.

"Straightforward? I'm not quite getting where you're getting at" he lowered his eye patch. "Wait...you mean to tell me I've been played?" He looked at her, "that means they're straying us the wrong direction...another trap is set up to mess us up" he slumped on his chair his hand placed on his eye there's no way Nikki is going to be alive after this she's the only one who touched it...I remember I saw her and than it went all black "can Nikki still be alive?"

His words only half registered as she continued to pour over the words and symbols before her. "Whomever wrotethis really did not want that Tome found, and for good reason I assume." It wasn't until she heard the tone in his voice that the question registered, and she looked up at him. "Who's Nikki?" Quickly dismissing the answer as unimportant, she shook her head. "It is difficult to say. This map is definitely leading you away from the actual tome that you seek, but the charm that awaits at the end... I have no idea what sort of charm it may have been. Of course, chances are that she may simply be trapped in another dimension, or simply suspended in time at the place where it happened. But without having been near it, I have no idea what to tell you." He face then grew serious, as she stood at her full height now. Her eyes were a mix of curious and stern as they searched his. "Mathius, I need to ask you a very important question. And I need the truth from you, otherwise I will take my leave. Why do you seek this Grimoire? No good has ever come from ancient written texts, especially not the Grimoire that you seek. You've clearly lost someone because of it; is it worth losing more, or possibly yourself, just to find it? And if, by chance, you happen to find it, what exactly do you plan to do with such power in you hands?"

"You're smart I knew it from the beginning sense I first sensed your energy..." he paused as she asked him her final question trying to place his words he sat further into his chair slouching slightly "at first it was to prove it existed as Relic hunters it's what we do..." he brushed his fingers through his thick hair the pause seemed to lengthen as he began piecing the discovery of his last adventure but it was a matter of time before he continued. "...Then Nikki happened...when we found the tomb that it was in she touched it, and just as quickly my vision grew black I woke up with one eye and people claimed to have seen her run off with the scroll. Now I'm more in search for unanswered questions then the relic itself" it seemed like he was hurting with every mentioned of Nikki's name with a false happiness he masked his pain with a smile and looked at Lilith "you know now that I mention it she looked alot like you surprisingly, though her hair was long and the color remin me aloT of scarlet orchids...and I know you're both complete different people don't get me wrong but your powers were very similar to hers and they say the tombs could only be opened by mages...she was weak and I know that if I can find her we can save her"

Lilith returned her gaze to the table. He hasn't answered her question, not really. It was evident that he was intent on finding the Grimoire in hopes to find his lost companion, but was that the only reason? Clearly he knew it must exist now, if it took his companion. The silence was becoming stifling, and Lilith found herself looking up at him again. "Alright. I cannot guarantee that I will be of much use to you, but I will try my best to help you find your lost companion. But only if you agree that once we find her, you cease this foolish hunt for such a dangerous text, lest you lose your life in the process." Her tone was level, her eyes serious. She clearly didn't like the idea of chasing such a notoriously dangerous item, but she also didn't like the idea that someone may be trapped and confused, alone and afraid in some other dimension. "I believe we should start where the trail went cold. Perhaps from there, I could pick up some sort of energy, or clue of sorts."

...from where the trail went cold. The thought slightly frightened him he didn't know how he truly was going to react but he knew that it was true wether he liked it or not he was going to need to chase his demons eventually. He stood firmly renewed determination spread across his face within a smile that exposed a sense of eagerness as he slapped his hand on the area that exposed their last trace of the grimoire "we set sail to Treset!" **** ((Will continue this post within Treset))
