Channelknight Fadran Posted May 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 So he was wrong, but also partially right. That was usually how it went. Worked either way. I already had my Mindscape, then. That meant he'd been subconsciously pushing towards his goal. He'd already connected the end result to the process in his mind, rather than separating the steps like he should've. If the space already existed, then that had to mean that it would only cost energy to create something, not maintain it--a one-off power purchase, in other words. Of course, it probably wasn't that simple; but it was worth a shot anyways. Fadran ducked back into the command tent and closed his eyes, falling back into his Mindscape. It took him a second to realize that it was a real Mindscape--his own, even--that he was standing in, but the moment of awe soon passed as he reallocated his cognitive ability into detensifying his mindset. If he wanted to get anywhere, then he'd need to start from the ground up. In that case... let's start simple. He drew in all the power he could muster and pushed it all into this realm, changing the infinite darkness into an ever-expansive grassy field. Fadran gasped and collapsed on the ground, clutching his head from the strain, then looked up. I had worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't do that right now." She needs time. "Okay." She said softly. She started crying silently. She felt as if something was twisting in her chest. It hurt, and she felt lost. She started to feel a sense of hopelessness, as if nothing would be okay again. She felt her determination start to slip away. After all, what could she do that others couldn't? She wasn't all that special. Yes, she could compound bronze, but what good would that do? How would that help Tvora? She suddenly felt a strong surge of anger, and determination. "I'm going to help Tvora." She said after a minute, climbing out of the tree. "And no one will stop me." She said, her resolve evident in her voice. "I'll do it, no matter the cost." She grabbed her bag, and walked toward the camp. Quote People... She's planning on going to Roshar. And finding the Nightwatcher.

He knows it all too well. He's heard it way too often before someone left and didn't come back. "Don't rush off and do something without thinking it through." He pulls his jacket close around himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
