Mamae Raau

[Lemmy Koopa]

The atmosphere around the forest was calming but it felt a bit confusing and noting Ludwig, he was never a fan of being in a dense forest for long; that was more into Iggy's pleasure if by all means since he was always in the jungly, foresty places. However, being tired from the fight made him a bit more cranky especially when what happened back there since all he wanted is a nap to rest up before he could continue onwards. In addition, it's truly a shame since he just couldn't catch a breath; lucky that he's too not hungry or thirsty now because that would be more bad news. Despite of injuries, he was still glad that he managed to pull out of there before the Camelot guards were to catch up to them because that would had warrant a true disaster for the remains of the group.

They had lost only so many back there.

Relieved, Ludwig took his position underneath a nearby tree to return to rest up as he watched several of the Koopa Troopas of the group found pleasure into dipping themselves in some nice, cool water.

Perhaps this time, they wouldn't be interrupted by anyone.

"Rest yourselves easy for now, but remain on guard," he advised to the remaining members of the group before he asked the Koopa Bro,"How far is our destination?"

The Koopa Bro explained,"It's beyond this forest and into Ashen Steppes. There's a cavern leading underground that leads to the volcanic subterranean levels that goes to the main Castle and that's where we'll meet up with Lord Bowser,"

Ludwig nodded and replied,"So we have some distance remaining as it seems; very well. After we take this moment to recover and rest ourselves, we'll continue on. However, it would seem to me that the temperature of the environment there would not be suitable for Kopaka since ice melts with fire. From here, I believe, we must make off our different ways in order to reach each of our individual destinations,"

This was the reality of what was in hand; Ludwig couldn't possibly endanger the one that has done so much to assist him from Camelot's injustice to dealing with hostile secondary rogues with an attempt to put an early end from the both of them just as how the fallen did.

Before he went on continuing, a curious thought came across Ludwig's mind as he remembered what the head rogue said to them before the fight: something about them being called Primes..

He continued,"Primes..is that what we're called in this strange world?"

The Koopa Bro perked up and replied,"Oh! I know about this. Lord Kamek told us from before that Primes are basically immortal in this place as they can't truly die and are the only ones that can use Omnilium unlike secondaries. They get revived in some place called the Nexus or something like that,"

Ludwig remembered about the Nexus very clearly. It was his first destination after he had arrived at after being brought in the portal from his own world; it was unusual but became boring over time.

"How intriguing, so it is not only a place of beginnings but also a place of revival from death," he replied before the Koopa Bro nodded and continued,"Yeah, that's it. Oh and one more thing, it's also a place where battles occur as well, he said something about the Fountain of Infinity but has yet to find out more information about it,"

Ludwig thought over what the Koopa Bro mentioned to him as he said,"It seems that the Nexus has more meaning that it truly does; this makes things that much interesting and if Kamek is looking into it, then perhaps I should as well given time. I am still curious about this Omni individual, give or take; there just seems to be much about him I don't know about,"

That is if none of his other siblings arrive and interrupt his progress like they always does. However, before long he looked to Kopaka before he look back to the Koopa Bro, thinking for a bit on exactly on terms of helping Kopaka. The energy he needs, being ice, seems to be the only way he can recover. After all, he isn't like Ludwig and the other variations of the Koopas.
