*The Orb of Light and Darkness lays on top of all of Daren's collected things haphazardly stuffed into his travel sack. Next to him on the couch, he sits with his daughter Sharyn', who isn't really paying attention to her father's lessons he reads haltingly from the Book of Az'atta. Instead she finds it more entertaining to try and wiggle her way off of her father's lap and into his backpack. Turning after struggling with a particularly difficult passage he finds his daughter leaned fully into the pack, head first giggling as if she discovered a whole new world inside this tiny space. With a sigh he sets the book down and leans over to pick up is daughter. Holding her to face him, he looks at her with a mock serious expression. Scolding Sharyn' was a little beyond his capability.*

I know ye ain't payin' 'tention, an ye know better than ta go diggin' round inta things. What w's ye doin' in there? Ye canna be playin' wit' weapons till ye c'n walk at leas'.

*Blinking for a moment with her big brown eyes, and smiling a typical heart melting baby smile, she points with a princess like demeanor to the Orb sticking half way out of Daren's backpack. He tickles her gently, setting her back on his knee, shaking his head slowly*

Nay lil'n, ye canna 'ave that, prolly sh'ld hide it on ye. There's a v'ry bad deader man that wants it, snatched me right up outta town 'e did. Aye, stuck me in this lil cell, ate th' pie yer ma made fer me, right b'fore me own eyes.

*He smiles lovingly at her* Aye, but I straigtened 'im right out. Took me a bit though, an th' bad deader 'as a portal that takes ye ta hell, if'n ye ask mister Ozy though, which, if'n I got any say in it, ye won't be askin' 'im a thing. They calls it Baator instead. Spent a lot o' time runnin' through there, an I dun't know why ye'd e'en wanna go there in th' ferst place.

*Bending over, he takes out his small bag of food from his backpack, finding some grapes, he hands one to Sharyn' and pops one in his own mouth*

Got meself back outta hell, c'me back up 'ere ta find this big book, sayin' somethin. If'n ye din't eat th' parchment 'twas written on an'ways. Parchment bad *hands her another grape* Grapes're good though. I got ta wanderin' 'round a bit more, an I found th' bad man's phylact...phylacterwate'er, an then I found 'im...an 'e was tauntin' an teasin' me. An this ain't th' way ta be, e'en when people take yer pie, an throw ye in deader jail, an send ye ta hell. But...s'metimes ye gotta do what ye gotta do, an *Grins at Sharyn'* I missed ye, aye, I missed ye an yer ma so much it a'most hurt. So I sorta cracked 'is deader skull fer 'im, an I took back this 'ere orb. An I hiked my way allllllll th' way back f'rm Rilara jus' so I c'ld kiss th' two o' ye g'nite
