Your character has just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As they look around, their gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. They duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? She begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”
((How do you respond?))

Apollonius "Their is no story, I am here to instill order. I am here to rise up the flesh heap of man and become Gold." . For a moment, the air thickens with anticipation, until…
Hag " what an absurd way of thinking." she says mockingly "Order already exist. man are equal and kingdoms are ruled by a king or queen, knights exist and law exist. You speak nonsense." says the Hag
Apollonius " All men are not created equal, the weak have deceived you. They would say that the strong shall nurture the gentle. But this is the noble lie of equality.''
Hag '' for a man seeming to know his stor-''
Apollonius " I am not a man" he interrupts "i am Gold and Gold stands above the flesh heap of man, we Gold are the end of the evolutionary line"
Hag" we? " she says questionably
Apollonius " yes, my people"
Hag " and who are your people? "
Apollonius " I did say that their is no story, I seek the upbringing of my people."
Hag "You haven't answered my question"
Apollonius stands up to take his leave noticing he's wasting his time here
Apollonius "Isn't it obvious? Its Gold"
