Cuthbert

Sanctum Viatas

Cuthbert materialized on the island of Magincia and looked around. Where he SHOULD have been standing was once the spot where the Great Bank of Magincia had been. Now it was grass, rocks, rubble. Cuth kicked a rock with his boot and snorted, half disgusted with what he was seeing, half disgusted with himself.

I should have been here... I let my home be destroyed...

He mounted up and road towards the beach. He had bumped into Joanna Weaver a few weeks prior in Umbra and she had mentioned that although the city itself was gone, life did still exist on Magincia. Isk was still here living on the island, and Cuth knew that if houses still stood on Magincia, the beach is where they would be. He slowed his mount as he reached the area where the rich green grass gave way to the beautiful, soft sand of the beach. Sitting there atop his own mount, as if he had been expecting Cuth to arrive, was Isk.

"Hail, friend" Cuth said somewhat softly. To be perfectly honest, he was unsure as to how Isk would react to his presence. He had, after all, left the island to decay. When it had been overrun and destroyed, Cuthbert had been a world away - and on purpose. But now his hiatus was over. The only question was how (if?) he would be welcomed back onto the island.

"Hail, friend" Isk returned the sentiment. If Cuth could have seen under Isk's porcelain mask he assumed he might be able to see something akin to a small smile. It seemed that he was still welcome here, after all.

The two men chatted for awhile, and Joanna ended up coming by to join them. Joanna and Isk talked of rebuilding Magincia. Of making it the strong, proud city it once was. Cuth felt pangs of regret at this. Perhaps if he had been here to help, no one would need to rebuild anything... But here was his chance to make up for that, and he would take this opportunity to do just that. He told Isk that he could be counted on for anything Magincia needed. "My intellect. My wealth. My sword" was what Cuth literally offered. And so it came to pass that he was taken back into the fold of his former compatriots on the island of Magincia on that day.

Standing there on the beach, looking out over the water, Isk and Cuth talked briefly of his absence.

"I had always thought that you were away on a quest..." Isk said "You and Son Gohan left around the same time. I assumed it was for similar reasons."

Cuth nodded. "It wasn't a quest, but aye, I was away for quite awhile. At one point I actually overheard men talking in a tavern about my passing. I was surprised, because nobody had informed me that I had died" he laughed. "Obviously, the reports of my death are greatly exaggerated...."
