Seeing that no one was bothering them anymore, Dilim divulgued his situation to the old man.
"Grandfather, I'm an adventurer like the others but I started some years later than most people, therefore I ended a lot weaker than most of my fellow adventurers and I need to become stronger quickly in order to become powerful enough that others would take notice of me."
The old man just patiently listened and nodded along as Dilim explained himself.
"My boy, power is not everything in the world, you know?" The old man commented after Dilim finished his story.
"I know that grandfather, but power is what people respect most was well." Dilim countered.
"True. But let me ask you this, what would you do once you have more than enough power? And at what price are you willing to pay to gain such power?" The old mans asked while peering at Dilim over his cane.
"I don't know. Well, not yet anyway. But if I do I would use that power to help those like me who are orphans." Dilim replied with a determined tone.
"Ha ha ha." The old man laughed and seeing Dilim's face contort in shame he added.
"Oh, don't worry young man. I wasn't laughting at your plan, rather I was laughing because the price for power is sometimes more expensive than others are willing to pay. And yet it seems you are determinated."
"That I am grandfather." Dilim responded.
"Young man, do me a favor and sit beside me until night falls. As you see I'm old and my sight is not like what it once was but could you describe the surroundings as the hours pass by?"

For the next 3 hours Dilim sat there next to the old man and told him about everything that was going on, including the return of the group of players that earlier made fun of them. As the minutes ticked by, Dilim did not skip on any of the details on everything he saw.
Eventually the sun slowly set on the horizon.
Finally as the last rays of the sin faded the old man interrumped Dilim's narration and spoke up.
"Thank you young one for taking your time to sit with me. Tell me did you learn anything as you described the surroundings?" The old man asked with a small nodding towards Dilim as he spoke.
The moment the old man finished asking the question a couple of blue windows appeared in front of Dilim.
