After some food and a night of rest, Drake would be up and at it bright and early. It was time to hunt down some answers. So, first things first. He needed to find his tour guide. So he would room the house looking for Miss Melody!

He would find Melody outside on a balcony, her legs dangling over the edge kicking gently as she looked up at the darkened sky. The last traces of the fog faint whisps in the sky slowly burning away. Softly whistling a somber tune. She has not yet noticed Drake! |

Drake would stand there with a hand on his hip listening to the tune. It was soft and unique. A sound he hadn't heard before. He would stay silent for a moment listening as he too watched what was going on in the distance. This was one hell of a strange land he found himself in...
"Lovely tune."

Melody didn't jump when Drake announced himself, but her cheeks flared a bright crimson, flush with crimson she'd rub her arm, her eyes remaining fixed on the morning sky.
"Thank you. My mother used to hum whistle it to me as a little girl to help me sleep."
She gripped her arm tightly at the mention of her mother, but otherwise didn't move.
"How are you feeling?"

"Not great... but better. I still can't use my my eye's but I do feel connected to my other abilities again."
He noticed her reaction about her mother. But he decided he would let Melody open up about that in her own time, if that's what she even wanted. After all Drake knew how hard it was to have an abusive mother.
"Anyways, I was hoping we could go speak to the old man now?"

She slowly nodded.
"We can if you'd like. He is probably awake and at the overlook by now. He likes to spend a lot of time there."

Drake would nod.
"The sooner the better. Not just for me, but your people as well. With any luck that is..."

"I hope so."
She said with a somber smile that said she didn't believe it would change anything. But hope was a funny thing, and she was prepared to cling to it.
Climbing off of the Balcony she dropped lightly to her feet.
"This way."
And so she would lead him away!
"So ummm..." He started after a few minutes before shaking her head.
"Nevermind."

Drake tilted his head towards her and raised an eyebrow.
"What's up?"

"Nothing, it's stupid."
She replied quickly, her pace quickening just a smidge.

Drake would move to step in front of her and cross his... arm.
"Well, now I'm curious. Lets hear it. Or I will stand here till the blight takes me over."

Her eyes widened in surprise when he shifted in front of her blocking the path. Weighing on whether or not she should just spit it out or try to go around him she decided it was pointless. She'd already said too much.
"I was just wondering... What your home was like. Your Kingdom Crimson?"

Drake was caught off guard by that question.
"Uh, we-well..."
He cleared his throat and sighed.
"Well, The Crimson Kingdom... I'm still not sure I would call it home. Even if that is where my Father may want me to live... But, it is a pretty large Territory, not one of the largest by any means, but decently sized. Hell this place would just take up a section of the territory, and still have room. They seem to be pretty technologically advance, but I'm pretty sure that is because of Prota's influence over the territory. I'm still not entirely sure why my father works with them..."
Drake would step out of her way and continue walking as they spoke.
"No, I think the place I would still call home, is Lightning Country. There we are ruled by a man name Leon Sudeki, who I now know to be my great uncle. Under him there are Mafia style families that work for him each dealing in there own... exploits to keep the Country running smoothly. More than that I don't know. I grew up in a Brothel in the slums, and spent my days working more than sightseeing."

"You come from Lightning!?"
She was pretty amazed by that! It sounded impossible. But there he was.

This puts a stop in Drakes tracks.
"Wait, you've heard of Lightning Country?"
