"Well... I guess I will just do what I originally came here to do. And ask questions until I have a clue."
He would pause and think about what he wanted to ask first.
"You said the Blight was a punishment from the gods... why were your people being punished?"

"It's impossible to know for sure. It was generations ago, it could be greed. Hubris. Our own inclination as a species toward self-destruction. But the records say that while we had complete command over the earth, we were but a blight upon it. Poisoning it with our greed, using its blood to fuel our war machines. I imagine it was for that reason they chose to punish us."

"Hmmm..."
Drake pondered.
"Were your people connected with the gods, or are you now? Like ways to communicate or visit with them? Maybe this could all just be as simple as asking them for another chance?"

"Most people didn't believe in the Gods back then, and I don't think that has changed even now. With the exception of myself."

Drake nodded his head. That was understandable, hell if it weren't for his own face to face with that golden guy Drake probably wouldn't believe it either...
"Then, what made you come to believe in their existence?"

He tapped his nose.
"Just because most people can't sense something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I trust my senses."

"Hm... fair enough."
He looked out into the horizon again. Wondering if he was meant to go to those tethered locations. But let's play this smart. That asshole of a god being or whatever probably thinks Drake would just punch the solution to death. So, that's exactly what he isn't going to do. Fuck you deity bullshit!
"You didn't answer earlier. Is there any kind of... temple or church that any remaining believers might go to attempt to commune with these gods?"

"Anything that might have existed has long since been overtaken by the bog. No one alive has much use for God's, it's a luxury ill-suited to surviving the day to day."

Drake pondered.
"Do you know where the closest temple can be located? Maybe I can find something there? If not... I think the only way for me to find answers is to head to one of the tether sights. Look for information or clues there..."

"Is the temple where you truly wish to go? Be honest with me and yourself, it is the only way to help."

"I think so... yes. That seems the best place to find answers to end this Blight. For all of us. Your people have suffered enough, and I want to go home. I think stopping the Blight will be a win-win for everyone."
He would say with an affirming nod.

Drake thought about it. Harder this time. Contemplating if this was indeed, what he wanted. Finally would have his answer.
"I have no idea. I THINK it's what I should do, but honestly... what I really and truly want is to put an end to this. The Blight. But... there is no defining bit of information. Not yet. I mean, a temple sounds like the best option out of the ones I have in front of me, but there is a good chance that your gods up and left after cursing you with the Blight, or maybe they are still here but are completely not interested in helping or undoing what they did, or worse! What if they are still around and I go and make it worse for everyone..."
Drake place his hand on his face and let out a long sigh.
"I'll be honest with you. I'm used to doing what I'm told, not taking the lead. And its fucking hard. And nothing seems like the right thing to do."

Finally, the elderly man would move from his vigil. Shifting closer to Drake and pointing to the bog.
"What do you see when you look at the bog?"

Drake would look and shrug.
"...A bog?"
