*Sapphire sits cross legged on the grass outside the Dojo, staring down at the villages and fields below. It's late and the sun's setting. The people in the villages look like ants as the sun covers the landscape in an orange light. There are few clouds, only the occasional wisp which casts a faint shadow on the ground. Sapphire's ears droop and she sighs.*
*Thinking [u]There's nothing I can do. There's nothing to speed up the wait. Every day goes by and I think the same thing over and over. [i]Where is he? Is he okay? How are they treating him?[/i] And I try and try to help, to prepare, to do something... But that won't bring Fentis back any faster... I need to pull myself together... I need, I need to just wait...[/u]
*A single tear falls from her eye as she sits.*

Bump!

*You can feel a strange presence in the air, one you haven't felt before. It feels slightly familiar though*
-
*She lifts her head and looks around curiously.*
-
*The presence is invisible yet it seems to embrace you*
-
[u]Wha... Wh-Who's there?!"[/u] *She starts frantically looking around.*
-
???: Calm down Sapphire. I'm nothing that's gonna hurt you. *This is strange, an invisible presence that knows who you are...*
-
[u]Who are you??? Why are you here???[/u] *She continues looking around.*

Well, many know me as Mortar. You may not know me, as we've never met. But I know you. I came to... Help you... To some degree... With your problem with Fentis. Now, in this state I can't do anything physical, can I?
-
[u]Y-You're Mortar?! How!?[/u]
-
I'm a ghost. Boo. Either way, I have some good news
-
[u]Wh-What is it???[/u]
-
Considering I haven't seen him in the Underworld, I am happy to say that he is alive
-
[u]I-I know but I still can't stop worrying.[/u]
-
Well it's one less thing to worry about.
-
[u]I already knew he was a-alive...[/u]
-
Well that's good...
-
[u]Yeah... But I just don't know what to do... I've never loved someone the way I love him before...[/u]
-
Well he seemed to love you that way too. When I did see him once he was calling out your name.
-
[u]H-He was? When?![/u]
-
First time he was left alone where he is.
-
[u]Where is he?!?!?![/u]
-
I'm sorry, but that I cannot say. Because that would be character jacking.
-
[u]It would be what?![/u]
-
Character Jacking
-
[u]What's that?[/u]
