Beyond the little offering of food and water here, there is something deeper within the wasteland. Pangea has become to feel like an old home to him—the very kingdom he ruled himself at one time before the Reckoning. This place, he has come to call home, is not for the weaker hearted. It was made for those that fight against the current of the ocean, against what life force desires to bring them all down. Pangea was created for the strong-willed, those that fight to survive, to live another day. They had all come to take what belonged to them. Selfish creatures that lived within this grey wasteland was not uncommon. Rodrik may not know the current residents very well, but he remembers the Chamber residents were just the same. It as if the Chamber’s own will has come to find its place in the new world. Rodrik would not object to such things. He desired such powerful entities, especially among those he surrounded himself with. In fact, he found something admirable with Aditi. There was something hidden within her that would prove to be useful one day. Rodrik has had his time to master the skill of choosing the best to rise up a land. However, he is no leader among here. He is simply a helping-hand, bringing the wicked who do not rest to one place. At least, hopefully, his efforts will be noticed eventually. He strives for power, not greedily like most, but often as a protection for himself and loved ones. Sometimes it was simple power that was used as a stepping stone to reach higher for something more. Rodrik had found that being merely a king was a stepping stone, as he thought himself to be in the highest power of all in Beqanna at one time. The devil had been wrong—there were other things much greater than holding a kingdom and crown upon your head. Rodrik is not far from here when she calls him. He has kept watch on her ever since they arrived in the wasteland. Some would find it not appeasing but Rodrik found it a useful tool to use in order to gain information. It was usefulness of another to where he found their worth. He approaches her at a causal pace. There was no hurry for Rodrik these days when every event was playing out in his favor. If anything, you could say he felt no longer apprehensive of what eventually would contain him, shackle him back into the shadows. “Aditi,” he says with a smirk, ever growing on his lips as he watches her, “It’s so good to see you. Rodrik licks his lips lightly and allows a moment of silence to wander between them. “What do you think of Pangea?” It truly did not spark any beauty, but beyond the physical of things there was much more. Rodrik and always found such things in others—he valued the mind and soul above all else. |
