[Eley has been thinking lately, and these thoughts have culminated into more questions. Not the usual questions about the hows and whys of humanity however, but something a little more specific... and personal.

It was not unknown to him that there was a likely chance he would forget everything that had happened in Luceti should he return home. There was another side to this though that had occurred to him as he stayed by his tree and mulled over the various trinkets people had offered him as gifts over the years.]

I wonder... although memories are fleeting here, is it also reasonable to assume that there is no way of taking the possessions you have gained here back to your own world? If it were possible, I wonder if I would be the only one enamoured with the chance to bring something important... useful, back home. What would you wish to take if given the opportunity? Presents? Things tied with memories? Or... something that may save the life of another? Luceti is a culmination of many worlds after all. The possibilities...

[His words trail off into silence.]

[In contrast to his thoughtful reflections, Eley decides to take a trip to the beach later in the day. Anyone in the area will notice a large six-winged white dragon apparently digging in the sand and sweeping it into a pile with his tail. When he gets far enough in his little project, it seems he's just made a large mound for some reason, but there's a point to all of this! Only... now he seems to have gotten stuck. He sits down, staring at his hill of sand as he tries to work out what his next move should be...

...maybe you should go and see what the problem is?]

I hoped to make it resemble the Palace of Agkelos, at least in part. While it will never be as resplendent, we can at least work to shape it that way. It is a large building with many towers and domed roofs.

[But wait a minute, he's still kind of intrigued by this sand mythologies of yours, Helios.]

Perhaps you can build some of these sand creatures to guard the place... or to live in it, even if it is only temporary. I know sand will not stand against the elements, but I hope that people may have an opportunity to see it all the same.

I don't think you ever mentioned the buildings in your homeland. This is rather exciting though, I do love castles and the like. I suppose I'm a bit biased, living in one and all that. [ He laughs, amused, as he bends down to start molding the sand into something. ]

I can definitely do that! I'd love to actually. Every palace needs its subjects! The key to making a good sandcastle is to use water. It helps the sand stick and make it easier to mold.

There are many impressive castles in my world, though Agkelos is rather unique in that regard. The castle you live in would be more reminiscent of those found in Bravura.

[He watches as Helios begins his work.]

My colours are not a coincidence. The buildings of Agkelos are made from white stone known as Sky Ivory. The Palace is also made from this material, but it is topped with gold domes.

[His friend's advice does not go unnoticed either. He turns to the ocean - there was plenty of water nearby, but the problem was how could they get it over here?]

Perhaps I should have brought something to carry water...

Sky Ivory. It sounds like marble, which is a white stone in my world. [ Helios looks at Eley and then the ocean before waving his hand. A ball of water will appear right where Helios is sitting. ]

It's alright! I have that covered. [ He smiles brightly. ] Water magic works quite easily near large bodies of water, so this type of spell is quite easy to preform.

[Eley watches as that ball of water suddenly appears, his neck stretching in that direction to get a closer look. Was it like a bubble? If he touched it, would it burst? It was tempting... his nose was getting rather close.]

You always surprise me with your magic, Helios. I wonder what else you are capable of...

But this marble... what other properties does it possess? Sky Ivory is known to be extremely lightweight, yet durable. I wonder how similar they might be.

[ It's not a bubble, more like a dense ball of water! But Helios will smile as he moves it to the sand to let it drip over the parts he's molding. ] Ah, well, m-my magic isn't anything special! This is just a typical low leveled water spell actually. [ Helios is so modest. ]

Marble? Hm, well, it's easy to sculpt. I believe there's a book in the library about all different kinds of rocks from my world. I can find it for you to read if you're interested!
