A pair of staffs appeared in his hands. "All you need to know is that you are coming to me." Quote If he doesn't have weapons on him, all he can summon would be his weapon of choice. But he wouldn't be able to change it. Currently that's all that the figure is letting him access. Mysterious Forest Path Calano tried, and successfully summoned, a single Lightsword. "I will not be doing any such thing," Calano said, raising his Sword, "I will fight if I have to. I must make it through." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telrao Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 11 hours ago, UnfortunatelyNamed said: Clinic: Roof Lark drew another Aon, and in a flash of light he appeared inside the bubble of light, right behind Telrao. He slashed his blade at her neck. The blade hit the small bubble of light and was rebuffed, small pieces of Light sticking to the dark blade, causing the Kaos to split into the Light of the Raven and Darkness. Telrao flinched but continued to draw, eventually ending with a intricate Aon Omi linked with an Aon Kii. She paused for only a moment, allowing the Second to place his paw on the Aon. Then she completed it, sending out a wave of soft light - which caused any who felt it to feel a wave of calm and peace wash over them, washing away any negative emotions. But if one was guilty, they would instead feel a wave of pure pain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She hated causing pain, and hurting others. The Second breathed in a long breath, letting the wave of calm wash over him. "Lark!" Telrao shouted, deactivating the Aon Edo bubble, but remaining prepared to run. "There is a way! A way to end the pain!" She stumbled as a massive tremor shook the Clinic, but she remained balanced.

NameIess Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Clinic: Cafeteria Nameless rounded a corner running at full speed, then abruptly pulled to a stop. Before him lay the entrance to the cafeteria, filled with a horde of countless Kaos tigers and other monstrosities. above their heads, he could see what appeared to be a group of survivors fighting for their lives. There didn't look to be many left. Around him and the others the cracks in reality were widening, the clinic's reality collapsing back into nothing. "Creator shelter us." He breathed, frozen for a moment in horror. @Aes Sedai @Ati16 Clinic: Roof Lark struggled to his feet, face rigid with agony. "I... cannot." He extended his hand jerkily, and a new Kaos blade appeared. "This is the only path I can take. The only path that will allow me to reach my goals." @Telrao 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telrao Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 The Clinic: Roof The Second bared his teeth. "Arguing with him is futile, Telrao. He has made his choice." Telrao studied Lark with compassionate eyes. "A hypocrite is a man who is changing. Anyone can change. There is always a better path." She took a deep breath and stepped closer to Lark, drawing another Aon Omi. A powerful wave of soft light flowed over Lark, pulling at his anger, his hatred, his fear - trying to fill his heart with the peace of forgiveness. "If you pursue this path, it will only end in death. Including your own, Lark." Telrao said, taking yet another step closer to that Kaos blade. "This way, nobody wins.

NameIess Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Clinic: Roof Lark wavered, Blade falling to rest against the splintering roof. "I do not want death. But me serving Kaos will not bring death. Not those that are unnecessary, at least. Please Telrao. Do not come any closer. Run while you still can." @Telrao Clinic: Cafeteria "This is worse... worse than the chickens." Nameless looked to Rue helplessly.

Telrao Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 The Clinic: Roof Telrao stepped closer, letting Light flow from her and gently touch Lark. "A friend does not run from one who needs help." She replied, placing a paw on his boot and looking upwards into his eyes. The sounds of the battlefield seemed to fade away, replaced with a serene whiteness. "I am here to help you, friend. There is still hope for you." The floor trembled, and the Second gritted his teeth as he braced himself. He growled softly and kept a close watch on Lark, prepared to protect Telrao. @UnfortunatelyNamed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I have made. My. Choice. Mine. This is the only way to save you all." Telrao flinched at that pure white face. I... can still save him... It is too late for him, Telrao. She felt the First say, he has made his choice. Telrao slowly backed away from Lark. "Please..." she whispered softly, her voice almost lost in the clamour of battle. The Second took her by the ruff and pulled her away from the psychiatrist, and Telrao stumbled as the Clinic shook again. Her eyes widened. "If we don't do something, the Clinic is going to break down completely." The Second said gruffly. The Clinic's balance is almost completely fractured. There is no time left - this realm belongs to Kaos. Her Avatar has destroyed the Pillar, and soon reality itself will rip this place apart. The First said, her presence like a beam of sunshine on the Therapy Cat's souls. I give you both permission to transport innocents to the Islands. Telrao nodded solemnly, then quickly scribbled another Aon Ehe to blast several Kaos Tigers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
