The Wandering Wizard Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 19 hours ago, The Bookwyrm said: Mysterious Forest Pain laced through Bookwyrm as the darkness pierced him. The latent corruption in his mind flared, and he shoved it back down. You are not going to win this. I know. I have to stall until someone who can comes along. Come on, Calano...find the Creator's Light...we didn't bring you to that ocean of Light for nothing. The voice sighed. I'll support you as long as I can. But this endangers both of us to an extreme. Would you betray your friends in such a way? Have them face you as you follow the will of a dark being? Bookwyrm hesitated, but didn't answer. "What about Calano?" Bookwyrm asked Emma, staggering as he desperately tried to heal the wounds. Stormlight took longer than normal. So did Gold. The wounds finally closed, but the darkness was not so easily purged. He isolated it with the Light in his mind, vowing to deal with it later. It was only in his body. Not his soul. Yet. "I performed your marriage," he continued. "I felt the love. The magic wouldn't have worked if it didn't exist. Or did you find some way to fake that which is unfakeable?" @CalanoCorvus "It was not faked. It is not gone. He is just misguided and I shall correct this in him." A sly smile twisted Emma's lips, "but you will be a fine start." Emma casually raised her palm and blasted Bookwyrm with a stream of Kaos. Designed to pentrate his soul, it wouldn't take long. Then she could go after Calano. 7 minutes ago, The Aspiring Archivist said: ??? TAAron was alone, almost.

InfiniteInsanity Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Refnet Insa stood up very quickly. "We need to go to Tal'rin. There are people there and I..." she took a deep breath "I don't think they know that Wizard is dead." Saar? Yes? Is there any way you could help us get there? I mean I guess I could. Great. "I know a god. They probably aren't the most reliable" I am reliable! "but they have offered a way to get us there.

Designed to pentrate his soul, it wouldn't take long. Then she could go after Calano. ??? Darkness flooded the world that was Bookwyrm's mind. Memories, mannerisms, connections...swallowed by darkness. The stars continued to wink out, a galaxy snuffed, a universe silenced. Is there anything you can do? He sent to the void as the wave of fading stars moved towards his soul. I cannot stop this darkness, the voice responded. It has too much substance. Backed by a force I cannot counter. I do not have access to the Alignment as I might once have... Bookwyrm accepted the fact within himself. I can give you one gift. What? The power to resist. This darkness is not eternal. You may not be able to resist the commands of Kaos, but when the moment comes, you will be able to stay your blade. Hold yourself back. Save one you love. Tears would have come to Bookwyrm's eyes, were he aware of his body. Thank you. It doesn't come from me. You had this power in yourself. I just helped you realize it. The wave of darkness continued moving, until only the bright star of his soul was left. I'll see you in another time, my friend. Bookwyrm, with his last free thought, sent a message to Calano. Keep going. Then the shadow passed over him, and his soul took on the purple tinge of Kaos. @CalanoCorvus Edited April 25, 2023 by The Bookwyrm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medium Posted April 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Sea Of Pure Light Calano heard Bookwyrms voice say Keep going. Then he felt Bookwyrms soul grow dark. ”No!” He shouted, faltering in his vortex. He steadied himself, the process stalling. ”Creator.” He said, voice eerily calm. ”If I finish this, will I be able to save him? Will I be able to save them? And stop it?” That depends. Is that what you wish to happen? ”Yes,” Calano said, “More than anything.” Continue down the path. Concentrate on your Identity. Concentrate on your Intent. Calano closed his eyes, concentrating, and felt a deep hum appear all around him. The vortex of light spun faster and faster, and the burning spread upward towards Calanos heart. @The Bookwyrm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
