While entertaining the thoughts of his phantoms – and studying the phenomenon caused by the white clouds around him – Replicus spared some attention to what Sause was talking about with the others. Aurolio seemed to question him about minor details surrounding Edagon and about how Benzard ended up here in the first place.
To that, Benzard himself freely explained how he had been a part of the Ideal Ark, quite a prestigious Guild in Inhone and then told the dark story of how his close friend, a brother even, Eobald, who had been the leader of the Ideal Ark, had confessed himself to be a necromancer.
He explained how he and the other members of the Ideal Ark had pursued Eobald, feeling betrayed, to the Tremur Forest, and how he (Benzard) met Skullius.
