The elders, Rhox's party, and Princess Lar'qin Sivi sat orderly around the table to commence the discussion. Many documents and maps were laid upon the table, each seeming important to Rhox.
"Reminds me of the countless maps I always lay out in my office aboard the Golden Lightning," Joize said, giggling.
Lar'qin Sivi chuckled in response. "Ah, so you are an enthusiast of papers as well!"
Joize nodded, her eyes scanning the array of documents. "Indeed. There's something about the feel of a map, the promise of discovery."
Princess Lar'qin Sivi smiled, appreciating the sentiment. "These maps and documents represent years of our research and exploration. They are vital to our mission."
One of the elders, a wizened figure with a long white beard, leaned forward. "This planet, Stillis, holds many secrets. The relic we seek is not just a single object but fragments of a whole artifact called the Heart of Yael."
