The gate out of Jedidiah returned Zion to the desolate Western Front in the middle of the night. There was a large pit that was left as a scar on the earth as proof the dungeon had been there. The Storm Kitsune found himself at the bottom of the pit, but not alone. He turned to the blue haired youth he had befriended and smiled, "Come on, let's move somewhere else." Gusts of wind swelled around the silver haired fox's feet to carry him skyward. He would keep a close eye on Sollas and slowly speed up to test just how far the boy could keep up. As he slowly accelerated up to his top speed, the magician gave himself time to sort out his own thoughts about the dungeon.
The djinn and dungeons were products of magic far beyond what Zion could fathom. That one could be born of black rukh had never even been considered in the young magician's mind before. He had seen the dark clouds of rejection towards fate billow up once before in Reim. That sinister power had seemed so chaotic and wild back then. To see it wielded so finely like a familiar tool forced Zion to question what he knew about black rukh. The man with the cane had forced him to question what he knew about the world's history and to worry about the direction its heading towards in the future. Was it right of him to be so focused on returning home and getting revenge against Kornel Klien when larger things might be at stake?
Zion still had some doubts in his heart that he had made the right decision back there. Revealing his true face and name in Jedidiah would mean nothing if he went right back to hiding himself all the time. The magician was resolved to stop avoiding his enemies and instead meet them head on. Surviving two dungeons made Zion somewhat confident in his own strength even though some of the fellow competitors had also shown just how weak he was in the face of true masters of magic and users of metal vessels. But soon he would have the strength to perhaps stand in the presence of those giants.
North of the wastelands was a large oasis around which a trading outpost had been established supplying water and other goods to caravans preparing to head into the wastes. Zion swooped down in the cover of darkness, the gusts of wind carrying him kicked up dust and scared oxen but he was in and out of the wagons in just a short while. By the time the traveling merchants rushed out to check on things Zion was gone along with a barrel of water, some dried meat, and a few fruits. In their place was left a few gold coins which more than made up for the value of the goods taken.
The mischievous fox returned to the sky and gestured for Sollas to follow him as he led them back into the wasteland to a secluded cloister of tall rock formations. The magician dug into his tail and pulled out a flying carpet which he promptly placed on the dusty ground to use as a mundane carpet. The barrel of water and food were placed down on the carpets center and Zion gestured to the small feast with an eager grin, "Let's dig in first!" The words being as much to Sollas as the were permission towards himself to start eating. The lid of the barrel was molded into two cups by Zion with a tap of his wand and he poured some for both of them. With that out of the way, the magician grabbed some jerky in one hand, a melon in the other, and directly started chowing down.
It was far from a world class meal but Zion hoped it would help Sollas relax after the ordeal back in the dungeon. The magician still felt some guilt towards Sollas for asking him to turn on his 'family' for the sake of strangers even Zion didn't know. It was selfish and reckless, he owed Sollas something back and yet was preparing to be gifted even more from the blue haired child. It left Zion feeling very awkward and unsure where to begin asking about the demi-djinn's magic. Instead he decided to just talk about himself and attempt to get to know Sollas a bit better.
"I look somewhat older than you, but really I was born just a few years ago into a body made by my father. If your age matches your looks...you're probably a bit older than me. Should I call you big bro? Haha" He laughed his own comment off jokingly not realizing it might be taken seriously and continued, "About a year ago, I managed to get a dungeon beast transformation which gave me the ears and the tails, but my body is still just an artificial vessel. A living spell you could say." Zion made a soft smile that was slightly sad and self mocking. "If the world know the truth of who I was, many would hunt me down eagerly to capture as an experimental subject. They would tear me apart piece by piece in order to find out how I work..."
The words came out of Zion's mouth casually but the weight of them could be felt in his eyes when he looked up at Sollas. The meaning of that gaze being that Sollas should be wary that he likely faces the same threat too. "I normally don't reveal my true form to anybody. But after meeting you I realized that just running away and hiding from my problems won't make them go away. I need to get stronger...please help me!" Finding his comfort in asking now, Zion bowed his head and shamelessly asked Sollas for his help once more. The magician swore in his heart that he would repay Sollas these two great debts in full some day.
