Wisdom squeezed his hand lightly as she stepped forward, the air around them crackling with static as they stepped out onto the sandy ground. All about them lay the wastelands of sand and in the distance loomed three pyramids. And one would think themselves on Earth in the Sol system except for the double crescent moons partially hidden in the view ahead of them in the purple sky. And she turned to him, smiling as two beings approached them, the taller of the two spindly limbed bipeds chirping in greeting, the only thing understandable was the designation to her as "Star Strider" and Wisdom replied in the same language. She then turned to him.

"We have permission to stay as long as we wish to observe the excavation of the ruins about a half mile from here. And, yes, archeology is something I find comfort in, learning of past civilizations is interesting to me ..."

She did not say that she found it interesting in only a visual capacity, but it was also in the wisdom and the learning of the various cultures that could create language both written and pictorial, had advanced mathematics and medicine, massive buildings with little or no explanation as to how they were constructed. Earth had its appeal to her once until she had seen all that she needed to and had documented it accordingly in the archives of the Sanctuary.

Nor did she say that she found it comforting since she had found something that she could relate to even though it was a dead civilization. Most didn't understand her thirst for knowledge, but then, again, not many came close enough to her to find out anything about the concept that had become a living, breathing woman.

"Do you think you can walk the distance, or shall we take the easy way? Both have learning advantages."

And with that question, her hand gestured towards three large hairless quadropeds that looked similar to camels except that they had three humps that rose from their backs, one that seemed about a foot high, the second about three feet high and the last one close to five feet high. A saddle-like object was located in the hollow of the first two humps and what looked to be a mismash of equipment and stuff, all unfamiliar, lashed into the second hollow.

And she waited for his reply.

Fallen let out a deep, loud chuckle. His eyes twinkled with amusement as he looked sidelong at Wisdom.

"I could almost believe that the reason you brought me here was to hint that I myself should dig up my past so that I would not repeat past mistakes."

He stoped walking and turned directly to her.

"If I were inclined to believe that, I would have to think you know who I once was. Even though I do not know."

He resumes walking down the path.

"If I were so inclined...." he trailed off with a smile and a small shake of his head.

"Besides, I cannot imagine someone as fair as you ever being in ANY sort of trouble."

He said this in such a way as to imply that he could easily imagine the trouble she could get herself into.
