Go to the training grounds!

It appears Lexie will be with you through out the day, you can always give her a pounding sometime later. For now, you really want to go see the rest of the Syndicate. You want to see the Training Grounds. You want to see if you can find Claire.

"Let's finish up, you still have to show me around the city!" you tell Lexie.

"Anxious to get to the training grounds?" she smiles at you "Hope your ego doesn't deflate after the beating I'm going to give you."

You can't help but chuckle at her "Lexie...." you shake your head "the only beating that you're going to do today, is on my dick." you stick your tongue out at her

Lexie can't help but grin at you, stuffing another strip of bacon into her mouth. "Mmmmm...." she groans as she devours it. "Darien...." she starts "Second place in Nillix..." Lexie laughs out loud "I can't wait to show you how strong the Syndicate really is...kicking the second place finishers ass!" she smiles at you. "Let's go!" she says as she pushes her plate to the side.

Through out your walk, Lexie points out many things around the city. From where the King & Queen stay, from the different marketplaces around. She explains how the mountain is their saving grace as there is much untapped water from within. She explains all the waterways around the city and how it is all fresh drinkable water. You continue to follow the stone path, getting closer and closer to the northern mountain edge.

You can't help but tilt your head left and right as you're walking the pathways. So many luscious green plants. So many amazing pathways which flow water to the important parts of the city. The Syndicate really was quite amazing. The fact that the city was surrounded by mountains on three sides, only one entrance from the south, yet they dug into the mountain, deep within to cause the mountain to bleed water for them. You can't help but be in awe "This city is remarkable..." you mumble out as you continue to follow Lexie toward the training grounds. You only heard bad things about the Syndicate. How dehydrated they are. How yellow and grey their plants and trees are. How they do everything they can for the next drop of water. Boy, if only everybody else knew...the Syndicate really isn't as strapped for water as Rathkin thinks they are. The Syndicate, as long as they stay where they are, could last for quite a long time. The Syndicate, is maybe much more stronger than anyone gives them credit.

"Almost there!" Lexie places both her hands on your left bicep pushing you hard, breaking you from your daze, causing you to stumble, caught off-guard

"What the hell?" you question

She suddenly throws her right arm around your neck, forcing you to tilt your head toward the northern sky "Look..." she starts

Your eyes go wide as you see two giant sabre-toothed tigers, carved into the mountain side. Stairs carved into the mountain as well, going into the heart of it. "Wow...." you mumble, your mouth dropped open, staying in it's place.

"Down to the training grounds" Lexie smiles at you, noticing you're clearly impressed.

Bone & stone hand rails border the pathway that you're about to walk, the pathway down into the heart of the mountain. Your head goes left and right, up and down, exploring the beautiful architecture of the Syndicate. Torches made of steel line the rocky walls, all the way down the deep stairs. It looks like a good five hundred steps down into the mountain.

"Just...spectacular." you grunt out.
