[That is a lot more accurate than he was hoping for.]
Hmm. We've come pretty far. Let's rest for the time being while the coast seems clear.
[Though he says that, he continues to stand vigilant and the only change in his posture is that he's leaning on one leg and resting his left hand on his hip as if a sword were placed there.]
Dragon Stream...Are those similar to the concept of Ley Lines?
[A beat.]
There's a concept or theory from my world that dictates some kind of spiritual energy that flows beneath the earth. If I'm not mistaken, there's an Asian term for the theory called "Dragon Lines".
[Miyako is startled at how much he knew. True, ley lines and such were common knowledge in her world, but most people believed them to be occult, new age nonsense. The connection between the real deal and the Dragon Stream was kept secret to dissuade people from realizing the truth, but Cerebus... How did he come to learn of it?]
I am...impressed that you know of it. You are correct; the Dragon Stream pulls power from the Earth's ley lines. As Earth is [a beat as she pushes down her feelings] no more, my access to them has been naturally cut off as well.
I have only recently arrived, so I have not had ample opportunity to try anything. Furthermore, I am loathe to expend what remains of my power until I know more. I will not make such a reckless gamble without information. As the Dragon Stream's power is intrinsically tied to that of Earth's, I do not know if I will be capable of tapping into any ley lines found here.
[That, and her power was inherited, and even that was given to her family from others long, long ago. Then again, Saiduq is here with her, and he would hopefully know something about how that power was created in the first place.]
But I thank you for the suggestion. You have opened some new paths of possibility for me.
[Wary does not even begin to describe how she feels about someone else obtaining a power like the Dragon Stream.]
Ah, that certainly is a possibility. You must tell me if anything comes out of your attempts. However, for now, I believe it best to proceed. We have been in this maze for some time, after all.

Eleven corners have been passed. Seven turning left, and four turning right.

Earlier...was that magic you used?

The name of my power is the Dragon Stream. I doubt you would have heard of it.

[If he ever gets back home, he has to try if he can do the same with his mana.]
Have you maybe tried connecting to the ley lines of this world? I'm sure this place must have some.

I'm glad to be of service.
[He places a hand to his chin, recollecting the book he read about ley lines.]
Interesting. Perhaps I should explore the idea myself...
