John looked over Joe's shoulder as if he saw something, something very unusual. After a split second, John turned back to Joe and spoke.
"Then I should talk to Aion after this. I was told that if I heard the tales as they are... then I would find myself caught in the lies that shroud this Galaxy. If I seek the truth, then I should follow the path the Ancients left.", John calmly said to Joe.

Joe shrugged and shook his head. "Might be a bit until you can really talk to him about anything. Right now after the funeral, he'll want to train. Luckily we have ground combat training next."

Nero stopped pacing and seemed to be trying to grasp a concept. "The Guardians of Time...There's only two legends that make mention of them, the Story of the Halls of Time and the Legacy of the Blood Tome. The story tells of a place protected by five Guardians, four of which are knights, the fifth is a spirit."
"The Legacy of the Blood Tome tells of a book that was known as the Grimoire of Sol and Luna, and Sol and Luna are supposedly two of the knights of the Halls of Time. The book is said to contain the very secrets of the universe...but that's just the story. Throughout the story, it is said that someone found the Grimoire of Sol and Luna and that they managed to open the seal placed upon it. However, that's how the book earned the name 'The Blood Tome,' as the one that had found it...disappeared and the book was found in a pool of blood...and there were no stains on the book. So the stories say that the book is held by one of the two remaining knights, as Sol and Luna have also vanished in the later parts of the stories. The two that remain are said to be Erebos, of the dark and Aetheron, of the light."
"The fact that you said that you arrived here via the Mirror Sea proves that the Legends bear some truth...so Erebos and Aetheron could exist, along with the spirit, Aurora."

Terrisa followed Nova with a plate of pizza. "So~ Where you from?" She asked with her innocent voice.

"Oh! Right, my name is Dalia." She then looked to the sword. "And ya...hard to believe a sword can do that, huh? It's called Arke, one of three swords of the Legends of the Shards of Starlight. It's said to have been made in the fires of Heaven's Forge, and to be one of three keys to some great treasure or something..."
"And this place...I've never seen anything like this in the other temples. There's theories that the entire planet is one giant temple...and this was supposed to be the location of the main hall..."

"Firstly, it's sort of odd that four of them are knights and then suddenly, you have a spirit as the last one." Mima said. "Secondly, do have any idea where we could possibly find one of these knights?" Mima asked.
"Somewhere." Nova said as the lower half of her mask retracted, revealing ghostly pale skin, and black metal cheeks seamlessly linking to the skin.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

If you ask me about clothing, a suit that is both practical and comfortable is good for travelling, then if you need some armor, it would depend on how you go for combat, heavy armors are good for the ones who use weaponry to deflect and calm the punch of a bullet." Mara spoke to the AI
"But then if you go for close combat and quick reaction movements, a light armor is the best thing to use, fitted to movility and protection at the same time" the white haired suggested showing her armor in the computer http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/284/2/c/reconstructing_more_science_by_red_elice-d5hhz9z.png

Cortana thought for a moment, then spoke.
"It's interesting, but based on the weapons in this time period, it wouldn't protect me very well. Either way, we're trying to find something that is strictly casual-wear. I'll come up with a battle suit later. I need something that is breathable, light, and not restricting. I might take the pants, but the rest looks too bulky for normal clothes. Not unless I take both sets. They each serve as particular function. One would be good for warmer environments and would make me seem more approachable, while the other would be good for colder environments and for more formal settings.", Cortana said as she continued to look at the two pictures.
"What do you guys think? Both?", Cortana asked Kiara and Mara.
"Ground training doesn't sound too bad.", John said to Joe.
John knew that the ground training was what he was best at. Spartan-IIs were excellent soldiers, capable of fighting an entire army before falling in battle.

"Whatever that makes you comfortable Cortana, if you like it, then its good" Mara said with a calm smile
The bioroid was wondering on her own attire "Just look at mine, its combination of thight suit with casual wearing"

Kiara nodded. "Right, whatever you prefer is fine. Most of the time, physical armor isn't that big of a deal due to personal shields which help protect against head-on attacks, if you really are going to go into combat. Though they're a bit tricky to use from what I heard. Anyway on fashion, I think it would be good to mix the two."
***
Joe nodded. "Aye, I'm looking forward to it. I mean they say that the ground training here tests more than just your abilities...and I can only imagine what that means..."
***
Nero shrugged. "Actually, the original Guardians were Aurora, Aetheron, and Erebos. Aetheron took Sol and Luna as disciples to train them as Guardians of Time. Aurora is a spirit because something happened where she was killed...but then the Master of Time, the one who they serve in the Manor of Eternity which is the other name for the Halls of Time, granted her the ability to exist as a spirit."
***
Terrisa looked on in childish awe. "Oh! Cool!" She clapped her hands together, "So are you human, Vatian, Irian, or something else?"

"Still didn't answer my other question." Mima replied and made a motion with her tail like she was tapping her feet.
Nova took a bite of her food. "Doesn't matter." she wiped her lips using a napkin.

Mara started taking care of her clothing as it had quite some loose ends since her adventure in the destroyed city where she met Gunner
Taking off her shirt, the bioroid started stitching and treating it while humming a relaxed tune "One could wonder how after all these years, clothe ripping is still a constant trouble" she said with a smirk
Finishing with the shirt, the white haired used a mirror to check the plug in holes at her back (Hm.. I could easily deal with the shirt problem when I get in my ship and connect") she thought and cut three holes in the back of the garment that matched with the plug in holes of her body
Finally putting the shirt back on her, Mara looked at the finished job and smiled

"Oh, right...where...." Nero closed his eyes in thought. "None of the legends specify any particular locations on where they might be..."
"The only legend which specifies specific locations is the Legend of the Shards of Starlight...and that would be the six main solar systems and the six planets where something of the race known as the Ancients, who created the galaxy, lies. The problem is...the two legends contradict each other on many points so most believe them to be not at all related...but at this point I would think the Legend of the Shards has a possible clue that could lead to the Guardians."
***
"Why don't you want to say?" Terrisa asked, tilting her head as she nibbled on her pizza.
***
"According to history, during the time which the first Humans arrived, it wasn't just continuous progression of technology. There were times when the galaxy sort of "reset" where a great war occurred and there would be a heavy loss in the advancement of everything." Kiara explained. "Oh and if you want, there are machines that could fix almost anything you need in the city."
