"How did they know the phenomena was caused by the steps if they didn't see Arthur climbing the steps personally?" Lirian asked curiously, for once he felt like there was something in this world that intrigued him, and it even made his head that was muddled from drinking a little clear.
A feint smile crept up on to Albus's face, "Can you guess why reaching the ninth step is what we consider as passing the talents steps?" he asked Lirian.
"Does a change occur in the steps?" Lirian asked, it was the only logical explanation he could come up with, and when he thought that the steps came from a god, it struck Lirian that it would obviously have multiple stages to it, gods liked to do things like that.
As a former god he understood the thoughts of gods rather well, in general gods would send things down to help mortals progress, or at least that's how it appeared on the surface, gods mainly did such things to observe how their influence would turn the tides of a world.
