Exile. While not technically what it was, while technically he was allowed to return home someday. It was effectively an exile, the others of the Warrior Caste could not stop him from rising up. Could no longer overpower him. And so when faces with someone they chose to make an enemy, someone who was leaps and bounds stronger than them. Those chose to bicker and invent stories to paint him as a villain. A danger to Namekian society. And had it not been for the Guardian Limax would have been exiled from his home forever.
Now, by the wisdom and generosity of the Guardian he has instead been granted the trial of The Great Pilgrimage. A quest across the univerae to find something that would improve the Namekian way of life. It could take decades if not longer to find something suitable. But all the same, the chance to see home someday was better than none.
To aid in this journey Limax has been gifted with a spaceship. One of greater size than he had expexted at first. He had imagined he would be given a pod. Something that would just barely qualify as a ship. But no, he had been gifted a legitimate transport vessel. One with capacity for storage and several passengers with their own living quarters. Limax himself had just finished the interior inspection, and wished to see if he could have an artisan craft one of its two storage bays into a protected facility for training. He could not even begin to guess how long he would be away. But he would not see his growth stalled because of it. He was still a Child of Namek and he would seek the strength to do his duty anywhere in the Galaxy.

Floating about Rhona was coming back from her training grounds a broken Bo occupied one of her hands. She watched as she came closer to town that across a landing strip some ships were leaving but there as actually a great sized one that was docked up She almost wondered if someone important just arrived it was a very shiny and new ship for sure then emerging from it she saw a familiar face. He had his duties and so she almost thought this was something apart of a job... She almost passed by... but something stopped her. She told her self it is not right to constantly be butting in to other peoples business but ignoring that suggestion she decided to lower her altitude. She drew closer to him looking up at the big ship and all it's shiny metal.
she placed her hands on her hips and was merely a couple of feet away from him. "Hey Limax, what is all this about?"

He blinked as Rhona descended as he exited what was now his new ship. A ship without a name for a Namekian without a clear purpose. He offered the Human a smile in greeting before looking back at the ship with her words.
Did she mean the ship?
"I am preparing to go on The Great Pilgrimage."

She looked at him the sentence hadn't really sunk in quite immediately. "A Pilgrimage... Oh... Wait you are leaving?! This spaceship... Is yours and you are leaving?"
Looking back up at it and then looking at her friend and it just sunk in. She was not sure about what to think about... Is this a good thing? How long will he be gone? You know what he might not have these answers, she deducted maybe it was just something Namekians did for some reason she did not know about. Probably what struck her the most out of everything about this as... it became so sudden.

"I was gifted this Spaceship so that I may undertake this Journey. I shall be leaving within the next two weeks. Once the preperations are complete."

She Impressively whistled "It is a Generous gift...This must be a pretty important Pilgrimage. If you don't mind me asking, what are you going out to look for?"
To be honest she was trying really hard to keep cool. Honestly it was just so sudden what is she supposed to make of him leaving at the spur of the moment. Well Two weeks may not be as so in the moment as she is thinking it is. She wanted to remain respectful to the Namekian. Maybe this was a tradition of sorts, she would not know the rules, but space is huge and to be on a ship all alone... she hardly could handle two weeks in the hospital staring at the corners of the room.

"It is... A great honor."
Which was true enough, even if it was one that was being levied in a sort of punishment. However, when he succeeds he will be given great honor and respect. And the passing decades will have given plenty of time for tempers to cool and pride to heal. Perhaps it is for the best.
"I journey to find something to change The Namekian way of life for the better."

She exhaled. "Now that... is a big order to fulfill. But hey... if it is a great honor to get this chance for your home... then I hope you bring them something that will bring a new dawn."
She thought it might be a clever phrase since night never falls on this planet. They don't really know about what Rhona considers a sunrise looks like here. It held her favorite colors. Crack of dawn training was the best time. Her Bo tapped her let as her arm dangled.
Another question popped in her head and came out while she was lost in thought. "Do you have to do this... alone?"

He dodnt knoe the term dawn, but he could gather what she was trying to say. "That is the objective."
He could not return without something substantial. That was certain.
"I am free to conduct it as I see fit. I suspect in the coming decades there will be periods of isolation and companionship."

She was not good at conversations like this and the stoic as ever Namekian beside her was a man of few words. It was just like him, she could hardly tell what it was he would be thinking. Much less how he feels about the whole thing, maybe it wasn't anything at all. He had a duty and he seemed that all that mattered would be what he can do for Namek... His home. Because he still has a home he can come back to.
She folded her arms across her chest. "Well it is not like I'll worry about your tough ass, I know you can take care of yourself... It might be that I'll miss... having the occasional spar with you. Decades is a long time you know."

"It is true. Your species is short lived. It is possible you will have passed before I can return."
A sad thought, she was a formidable fighter with the spirit to fight against the odds. He respected that attitude, as well as her level of growth in such a short time. She had grown in leaps and bounds before his eyes and she considered him a good friend. As he understood it, the hug they shared was a great honor reserved for those closest to you.

She clicked her tongue. "I ain't dead yet don't act like this will be the last time I see ya..." she sniffed actually kind of refused to look at him she looked at her broken Bo again. Taking one half in each hand. she showed him one of the ends. The Iron fist attached with the broken wood was not more than a couple of feet long for each piece.
"I brought this with me when I got here, It was the last thing I owned that was from my Father... I was training with it... a-and it broke today. I have grown too strong for this and y-you were apart of that. Thank you." It was hard for her to look at him more so now that tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She had not shed a tear since her parents death. She blinked still fighting the good fight with the water works. It was not like he was leaving today. "If there is room on your ship... will you keep this half... When humans get old we might forget a lot about the lives we lived. I want you to have this so that as I keep my half I am willing to bet no matter how old I get... I won't forget you."

The significance of what she was doing was not lost on him. Giving him the token of her new strength was very touching. As was the fact that she gave him credit fkr her new strength.
He took the offered token gently before bringing it up to his heart and bowing deeply.
"You honor me with your kind words and gesture."
Though he believed she would have reached this strength on her own. He also wasnt oblivious to the fact that she seemed distressed about forgetting him or never seeing him again. So he would make a pledge.
"So long as the next galactic tournament is not held on Namek I shall do my best to participate. Perhaps you will do the same."

She looked at him, The Tournaments! Of course! Her hand made a fist and it rammed into her own chest almost as if to repeat what he did with her broken Bo. "I will make it my goal to see you at any Galactic tournament popping up across the galaxy." She also took a bow.
Bowing was something that did not come as easy in some cultures, especially not on her continent. Before and/or after matches sure but Rhona was a special case. Her bowing if not before or after a battle was to claim promises and give respect. Her mix of culture inspiration made it so that she hardly bowed unless you were important to her or told to do so by someone important to her. She'd rise from her bow and speak again.
"With that... I think I will go back to Earth... I left kind of abruptly. Maybe I will visit my parents grave and just before the night ends I will wake up to train, and welcome a new day." She smiled wiping what leaked off where she held back her tears. "Which you guys don't have here... Either way. I guess I will see you around the cosmos."

He nodded at her words, declairing her intentions and setting upon her path. It was good that she had found this conviction, no matter the cause.
"That sounds wise. Home is important, no matter how you grow or who you become you can never escape the influance of home."
He offered her a sad smile. He too would be leaving abruptly, though not of his own choosing. He couldn't help but feel a bittersweet envy for this meeting.
She would be returning home as he is forced to leave his.
