It reminded her of flying, of dancing in the sky. "It's beautiful. And you... you built it?" Tom smiled. "Three thousand years is a long time.

"Yes," she muttered, her mouth going dry. "A very long time." And yet, it seemed, not long enough. ----- The ship was what finally convinced AJ that he was in far over his head. It was one thing to have a relatively strong power set and be controlled by a being of immense power, and it was one thing to challenge a Shard for her power. But actually winning and then realizing that the woman whose wings you just clipped has a past that she doesn't even remember and that people are chasing her? That was quite another, and it was made worse by the fact that AJ loved her. He didn't quite understand why. But... she seemed to love him where no one else did. To forgive him. That was enough to make him stay with her for centuries. Still, he felt immensely small underneath Tom's creation. And it made him understand that Thought was a player in something much, much bigger than he had even known.

xinoehp512 Posted August 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 A humming noise began to emanate from somewhere in the insides of the ship. Slowly at first, but gradually accelerating, the ship lifted out of the water and began drifting upwards towards the behemoth above. ------ Rorim slithered with increasing agitation through the narrow hallways, eyes flicking back and forth across the hallways searching unsuccessfully for one face among the many groaning handerfle bodies. "Tom," he hissed with a tinge of fear, "where'sss Arsssek?" ------ Tom's grin faded as he felt the handerfle speak. That was a good question. Quickly, he cast his mind out- only to find nothing. Not among the dead, thankfully- but not among the living, either. Where was he? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Quote BTW, I'm working on fitting up @Butt Ad Venture to take on AJ. Thought leaned close to AJ, trying to relieve her stress and breathe. Everything was changing so quickly and things she didn't even remember were beginning to haunt her. What else was out there? Who else wanted to hurt her? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote What if that changed? With barely a sound, Samika appeared on the small boat, flanked by six handerfle guards. She turned to SepLar, eyes narrowed, Key raised. "Who are you? And why were you following that pair?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man moomba Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 SepLar yawned and lazily turned around. "Wow. Would you look at that. It's been quite a day, you know." she stared the woman directly in the eyes and turned her skin transparent, revealing her metal skull and the armorlings lodged within her flesh. "As for why I'm following them, the female is a Sliver. Seems mighty intresting, wouldn't you say? Nice key, by the way." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xinoehp512 Posted August 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Samika lowered the Key, eyes still narrowed. "You're a kandra, aren't you? I've heard of your kind."

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Quote @Butt Ad Venture you ready to play AJ? Looking around the ship helped distract Thought. It was so interesting, so intriguing. So different. Still, she couldn't shake the sick feeling in her stomach. Seeing her own face, glaring back at her... it was terrifying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Quote Noooooooo! There was silence aboard the ship. Thought wanted to say something, to ask about what was happening or inquire as to what her personality had been three thousand years ago. But something held her back. The last two days had been life changing and a little more than traumatic so she was reasonably shaken. Part of it was that she didn't know how one was even supposed to react to something like this. She leaned into AJ. He made her feel safe. Odd, maybe, considering that he was the one who had cursed her to be in this filthy state called mortality, but there was something about him. Something familiar and comfortable. Something that she, perhaps despite herself, loved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screens on the ceiling in wall went dark, and the background hum of the engines quieted to silence. "Well," said Tom simply. "We're here." He moved to the door and unlocked it, stepping out onto what had been the deck of the ship. "Your rooms are this way," he called back over his shoulder. "We'll stop there first."
