xinoehp512 Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 The Knight paced through a hallway of white stone. His footsteps made no sound, like always. The hallway was empty, as always. The other consultants knew well enough to leave him alone while he was thinking. He needed peace and quiet in order to get anything done, after all. Nameless wasn't cooperating. That was a problem. The consultants had never been closer to defeating the Witherlord as they were now, in this moment. All they needed now was a sword of sufficient destructive power to unmake him for good, and here Nameless had gone and made one right on their doorstep. Of course, the Witherlord was only the beginning; there were a number of other people that the Knight longed to enact vengeance upon. The converter could be just the edge he needed to carry it out. But none of that would be possible if Nameless continued to refuse to surrender the device. There had to be a way to convince him, surely. The Knight paused, pulling up Nameless's profile from the database and flicking through it, looking for any hint as to how the stubborn Narrator could be persuaded. He reached a reference to Professor Jones - and paused. He knows Grace? he thought. Intrigued, he clicked on her picture to learn more about how exactly they had interacted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We more need the feruchemical power than the metal, just get us a drop of that and we will be fine." to clarify, just get them a small piece of strontium containing unkeyed feruchemical concentration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You see, the problem is the amount of feruchemical power required. At least for narrators, the type of concentration needed to use your power is tied to your powers themselves. You can increase it, but only so much. And storing that type of concentration basically permanently removes it." He brightened. "I could hemalurgically spike Thaidakar for his concentration! That's a perfect solution! Now, where did I put that Atium?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the Knight read, his eyebrows lifted. Grace had helped Nameless fight? Against the Witherlord? Perhaps she's had a change of heart, he mused. In any case, it would seem that Nameless trusted her- he'd gone to her when he needed help. If he could get her on board, perhaps she could convince Nameless to hand over the converter. He scrolled up to the top of Grace's character sheet, where her current location was recorded. The University of Universes. Curious, he tapped the link and teleported away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It's been a long time, hasn't it?" said the Knight. "Good to... uh... see you." The room fell silent. "There's been a development," the Knight continued, recovering some of his composure. "We've found a source of ordered-light energy. A cluster of elementals. You had a theory about that once, didn't you? Anyways, they can use it to make a binding that should work on the Witherlord, once the kinks are worked out." He paused, but Professor Jones did not respond. "Uh... I'm sure I don't have to tell you what that means. We just need a weapon that can kill him now. And we have one, sort of, but the, uh, the owner is not really cooperating. Nameless? I think you know him?" Still no response. "What I'm saying is, it would be helpful if you could, say, put in a word to convince him." He waited for Professor Jones to respond, but none such was forthcoming. "Grace-?" he began, but was interrupted by a loud crack. Professor Jones flicked the pieces of broken pencil into the trash can. "Don't call me that," she replied. "We are not friends. Not anymore." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
