 "How will you manage your next jump? Do you even know where you'll be going?" Julia asked with concern. She thought he was rushing into this. He could arrive anywhere on any world and some were sure to be a lot more hostile than here on Earth. He looked so weak when he first arrived here. "How will you manage your next jump?

-"What or where is Ged?" Julia asked. This was the first time Will had mentioned a concrete destination. "I haven't been there before, but I've heard of it. Supposedly it's a world like mine filled with magic."+"What or where is Geb?" Julia asked. This was the first time Will had mentioned a concrete destination.

 Will gave Julia what few details he had learned from his time on Myst conversing with Hiram. "So there are worlds with magic out there? Places like Myrah?" That soon had Julia wondering about this entire expedition. It caught her interest. She had never been out of her own country, much less off her planet. Still, there was one major nagging thought... Will gave Julia what few details he had learned from his time on Myst conversing with Hiram. "So there are worlds with magic out there?

-The more he thought of Ged, it seemed to be the next logical choice. Maybe something on Ged would help him to understand.+The more he thought of Geb, it seemed to be the next logical choice. Maybe something on Geb would help him to understand.
  
 Ever since he'd first left Myrah, he felt a small nagging at the back of his mind. He hated it, his home world, but there was something that felt 'off'. Something about it's familiarity. Home was home, even if you despised it. Ever since he'd first left Myrah, he felt a small nagging at the back of his mind. He hated it, his home world, but there was something that felt 'off'.

 At first his adventure had been to simply get away from his world. Now, he'd met the girl in his dreams, but there was still something not complete. He wanted to know more. More about the stone. More about Arcana on other worlds. At first his adventure had been to simply get away from his world. Now, he'd met the girl in his dreams, but there was still something not complete.

A world of untamed magic.+The night before he had planned to leave Earth he had a strange and powerful vision. He could see Geb. It was almost like Myst. The arcana of millions of beings.

-As his vision brought him closer he felt a force trying to repel him. It was strong, very strong. Almost frightening. It's aura was one of indescribable terror. Will tries to simply avoid getting closer but it blocked his path. It was 'on' Ged. Something powerful and terrifying.+As his vision brought him closer he felt a force trying to repel him.

 The next morning, Will was ready. He double checked his gear, his staff, the stone, which he now had put into a small leather pouch.
