May I have my pen back? I might need it to, you know, defend us." "Hungry things?" said James nervously, holding the pen out for her to take. "I mean... I know the pen is mightier than the sword - I am an Archivist, after all - but I also don't try to take down monsters on a regular basis." @Vapor 11 minutes ago, Nathrangking said: "She can. She has mastered the art of manipulation and control." "Blikit," cursed Jeffery, worry evident in his voice. "I knew she was hiding something." He clenched his fist. That asch, he thought. Listening to all that talk about letting her decide for herself, when she intended to control her the entire time. "We have to rescue her," he found himself saying. "Nath, do you know where Rish is keeping her?" @Nathrangking 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best I can do is this." He closed his eyes and screwed up his face in concentration. A knife flickered into existence in his hands, made of solid steel with a grip made of a semi-shiny black substance. "Dead ordinary," he said ruefully.

We're the scudding Fellowship of the Thing. We are a mishmash of loosely related entities! Therefore, by definition, we are basically invincible." "I admire your bravery. Let's not be over confident though. Rish has destroyed entire pantheons on her own. Her children are not to be trifled with. The one thing we can count on is her daughters. Met ans Mes are more reasonable than she. Her son is the hot head. He is her enforcer, but he is a fool. If we fight her we fight her smart.

The important thing for now is that they've been tricked, and he has to get the girl out of here.

I swallow my pain though the winds holding me up start to weaken. "There is no magic or mind trickery. She has learned to tap into the lost parts of the soul. Rish uses truths to find the needs of others to protect, to guard, to be the hero. She uses that against her enemies. She will not physically harm your daughter. No magic is in play only truths. Storming her mindscape to rescue Vapor is doomed to fail. You want to save your daughter. Don't force Rish to do something drastic. Right now that is the best way to keep her safe." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
