Rysannox nods joyfuly as he grabs the arsaz sword hanging from his belt.. "I agree Xefr, 'Drax, nur Lax' as our ancestors said! I will come with you in there and whatever this place hids we will uncover for knoweledge and the safety of future generations.." he suddenly turns to Erixen, speaking in am ore strict tone "Lord Erixen, take care of the Shard as we uncover this mystery".

I won't even ask how that came to be  ..but you sure seem to approach things differently, even though you're, ehm  ..supposedly the same person."
