[Eley seems to be sitting near the site of his recently planted tree by the river today. With the journal held in front of him and perched on his lap, you can catch glimpses of the grassy bank behind him and perhaps a flash of colour from the hill in the distance. The sound of flowing water can also be heard from the nearby river.

The Spirit himself seems rather thoughtful again.]

As a deity in my world I am not unfamiliar with the idea that humans are always desiring one thing or another. People are always wishing, always hoping, and they often turn to me for a way to achieve that which they most want. They vary greatly... from a general desire for peace and health to something more specific, such as finding a partner or acquiring an item they have been wanting for some time. I have also experienced terrible greed firsthand... a greed that has severed good ties between nations and even threatened to destroy one in the process.

In the past I would not share these desires, but since I have steadily grown to feel more human since my stay here I am beginning to wonder what it is that I truly want... and what I might do to gain it.

Is there really any point to holding onto futile dreams? Longing for something that you are certain you cannot have? When does it become necessary to hold onto such a hope and when does it become a problem?

And I must ask... what is it that you desire most? More importantly, what would you do to attain it?

I want to find the Rio Poneglyph and unlock the secret history of my world.

[a shrug, not that you can see it]

Why not hope? What's the alternative?

The history of a world is certainly a very important thing. Would you hope to use these secrets in the present or do you simply wish to obtain it for the sake of curiosity?

...I suppose the alternative would be to forget about it and focus on what you already have. However, that does not always seem as easy as it should be.

That would be telling.

And yes that is one alternative. But some would rather not settle and would rather throw their lives in thrilling adventure for the sake of their dream.

It's much more thrilling

Hmm...

Then you would say that living a life full of risks is much more fulfilling than one which is... quiet and safe? But are you not concerned with your own survival?

It depends on the person. For me, yes. I will fight to live as hard as I can, yet, I'm not afraid to die for what I love.

Some might say that is a waste of life... to throw it away so easily should you feel the need to.

Unless of course, you believe in a second life... or some form of reincarnation. I suppose that would offer some comfort. If not, you do not fear death?

Some might. Who could say at the exact moment of death if I would be afraid or not. But it's a risk I don't fear to take.
