*Owen*
Maxwell sighed as he rubbed his head. "Robina ... she's a thief ..."
"Monetary Redistributor," the girl interrupted.
"... monetary redistributor ..." the Knight tiredly corrected himself, "who believes that monsters would be better off if they had some gold."
The girl grinned proudly. "I like to think of myself as an ecological enabler!"
"But you don't need to worry about her," Maxwell reassured the psionist as he gave Robina a warning look. "She's mostly harmless."
*Nova*
But even as he rushed toward her, the vision faded back out, and soon, he was simply staring back into the quite-intact hand mirror back in Warlic's shop.

Nova breathed somewhat deeply, a pity the vision ended, he knew little of the foe he was to face, only of their capabilities. He paused for a moment, before speaking aloud.
"Was that a vision of what is to come, what is transpiring, or what is going to occur?" He questioned calmly.

*Nova*
"I'm afraid I'm not permitted to tell you that," Warlic answered. "However, I can assure you that, whenever it is, it is very real, and I am also permitted to tell you the location of what you saw, if you wish to take up the task."

Owen blinked a few more times and tilted his head to the side.
"You give money to monsters? Why would monsters need money...wait...monsters? There are monsters here?!" Owen asked, turning towards Maxwell with a look of worry.

The Guardian grinned reassuringly. "Of course, there's monsters! But you've got nothing to worry about. You won't see any of the violent ones in the city, if that's what you're scared of."

"Alright... I can stave off returning to my native plane and devote my attention to destroying such a fowl being. I'm guessing that is why I was brought here... what else can you tell me?" Nova questioned further...

Owen relaxed slightly and then sighed.
"I never land in a nice, safe, world. No...there are always monsters, or people trying to kill me," he muttered to himself.

*Owen*
Maxwell grinned widely. "Well, Owen, you should be aware that one of those dangerous, terrifying monsters is sitting on your shoulder," he laughed, referring to the (mostly) harmless dragon hatchling on the boy's shoulder.
It was Robina's turn, apparently, as she came about and smacked the young man - probably a couple years younger than her - in the back of the head. "He's in a place he's unfamiliar with, Max! You could at least show him some consideration!"
"Ow ..." The Knight rubbed the back of his head. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry ..." He turned back to Owen. "To put it simply, most of the monsters aren't the big, bad, jump-out-of-the-closet kind you seem to be thinking of. The ones you'll see in the city, particularly, are just pets and beasts of burden."
The girl brightened up again as she latched onto Owen's arm once more. "Hey! I should introduce you to Aria! She runs a pet shop down in the city!"
*Nova*
"That you will require aid," Warlic answered. "Go to the Guardian Tower to the North of the city and acquire aid from the warriors there. Once you have aid, proceed to the Darkovia Forest to the Northwest. Once you and your allies pass through those accursed woods, you will be at the village you saw in your vision."

Owen had turned his attention to Sparky until Robina grabbed his arm again. He blushed slightly as he looked at her.
"A Pet Shop?"he asked.

"I see... is there nothing more you can advise before I depart then?" Nova questioned a final time, his motives becoming apparrant.

*Owen*
"Yeah," Robina answered. "What, didn't you have pet shops where you come from?"
*Nova*
"If you believe in higher beings," Warlic answered as he stood and moved to hold the door open for him once more, "then I advise that you pray to them."

"Well...the last place I was...was mostly on fire so I didn't get much chance to check for pet shops...but I've been to them before. I just didn't expect there to be one here," the psionic explained.

*Owen*
Robina looked as if that was the silliest thing she had ever heard. "Well, why wouldn't there be? Who doesn't like pets? Cute and fuzzy little balls of adorable affection!"

Owen blinked a few times before laughing a bit. "Well...it's just that I haven't seen a pet shop in a while so I didn't expect it," he explained again.

Nova did not say anything, he simply rose from his chair and left the house, heading to the guardian tower that was described to him. How was he to get aid? He did not like publicly vouching, and he had learned, most people care little for any threat unless it directly threatens them, or they get something in the long run, and he had nothing to offer...
