With no further words between them, the trio of newly-borne Primes set off in what could only be assumed as an easterly direction. No sun and no shadows made it difficult to determine any of the cardinal directions, but the seemed to be something about the fountain's asymmetric design that told them that this particular way was east. Whatever the case, the three adventurers were moving forward, towards the supposed gate far ahead.
The warrior woman boldly took the lead; whether the action was dutiful or brash, Cecil could not determine. Ryner, expressing himself as doubtful yet ill-motivated, merely went along. The two knights were prepared for any adversaries, but none seemed to approach so soon yet - though with the multiple specks and figures seemed to shift across the pearly expanse at any given moment, an encounter seemed almost inevitable. The young mage, seeing the opportunity to strike up some small talk, hailed Cecil;
"So this place that you come from, what were the worlds like? Any possibility that these will be similar?"
Beneath the grim visage of his full helm, the dark knight's lips tightened, and he probed his recollections once more. "Those worlds... it was almost amazing how radically different they were," Cecil spoke, seeming tentative in his words. "I remember one being a tower made entirely of machines... another, a castle poised within an infinite sky... elsewhere yet, the long-dead ruins of a stadium, or even a gigantic vault for an infantile god-"
"Now you're just making stuff up," Ferris adamantly interjected, her suspicions of the black-clad warrior still all too clear. Cecil looked up from his musings, his helm staring at the lady with that same metallic face.
"I can't prove anything, I admit. I wouldn't have believed it myself unless I had been there," the warrior of Cosmos admitted, making Ferris toss her head to flick her locks at Cecil. With a small breath of exasperation, Ryner turned back to the dark knight, who continued, "There is a chance we may encounter similar worlds here... but, still, we have no way of knowing unless we head through one of those structures."
"Guess so..." The young man trailed off, the remainder of his thought quickly abandoned. There was a hope that perhaps there could be a world capable of actually containing the Alpha Stigma, but as Cecil had mentioned, they would never know unless they inspected each of the worlds beyond those gates- provided they were gates at all, of course.
Before his mind could be further left to its own devices, Cecil returned Ryner's question, "What of you two? What world have you come from?"
