"Glory is all well and good, in theory. In practice, not so much so." She holds up a finger and winks. "But if it's glory you want, I know just the place."

South, ever south we tracked
into the warmer lands of trees
Away from snow, away from frosts
Across the deserts and the seas
The lord sun watches all.

There is a king with hollowed eyes
That none can seem to make smile
Thousands try, and thousands fail
But still they come, mile upon mile
With stories, songs, and dances
To no avail.

There is a saying:
It takes a dancing dog
To make the serpent smile.

"It's a tall order, but it's defenantly got glory." Asha adds. "Head south, untill you get to the ocean. Make your way to the continent south even of that." With that, she winks out.
