As the awkwardness of being in a crowd passed (As well as the crowd), Vahnec gave a large sigh of relief, beginning to hurry to the temple. That would be the smartest place to start, because the priests inside would have to know, they being well along in years. They would be the ones most likely to remember the events of the FInal Pilgrimage, especially seeing as this was where Lady Yuna had started. He began his ascension of the stairs with relative ease, giving an extra bit of hop to them as he went. He felt good, h felt alive. The village was alive with the sounds of children laughing in the distance, the birds chirping. He was feeling upbeat, energetic. Something he wasn't exactly used to in foreign areas.

He approached the doors of the temple, and slowly opened them with both hands, his shadow casting on the ground all the way down the hall. The followers meditating paid no attention to him as he walked quietly forward past the men and women cross legged with their eyes closed. That was fine with him, he didn't like being seen half of the time. Something about all of the eyes focusing on him made him uneasy.

At the front of the room he saw the man he was looking for, the lead priest. He gave a warm smile to him as he approached, giving the standard bow to the man as he spoke softly, quietly as to not disturb those steadfast in prayer.

"I am sorry to disturb you, sir. I'm here with a very strange request. Do you think you could give me information on the Final Pilgrimage to defeat Sin?"

The priest looked up from his writings, studying the face of the young man before him. He was serious, but at the same time he was innocent. What he wanted was not going to be used for any wrong doings, it seemed. With a nod, the priest removed his glasses, rubbing his eyes.

"I do believe I can help you in the slightest bit. Follow me into the back chambers."

And with that, both of them were gone from the crowd.

Vahnec returned a few minutes later with a look of satisfaction upon his face. He had been given a quick layout as of the journey they had taken. He would leave for Kilika as soon as he possibly could, and from there gather more information. Apparently Yuna first stopped here to gather the great Aeon, Valefor. After she had done so there was a huge feast that night, and a farewell at the docks as she began her pilgrimage. From there he would travel to Kilika, then to Luca, where he would finally catch the bloodtrail of Auron. That was great, leaving him relatively a limited amount of time before he would have without researching up on Sir Auron.

As he stepped out of the back rooms into the front, the people were just finishing their meditation time. Deciding now was a good time to head out, Vahnec began to push through the crowd, looking for the exit. Sadly, the crowd was too large and he soon lost his way. Stopping for a moment, he collected his thoughts as he figured out his best option to getting out of here. In the end he decide to face his fears, following the crowd as he shuffled his feet slowly, letting the current of men and women take him to his destination of the outdoors.
