Pic was in the dining hall when TAAron and Rue teleported through. 

"So, Rue, did you tell him the good news?"

"Oh!" Rue shook her head. "I forgot. We...fixed the Oath Rod. Sort of."

"That's good! Though... was it ever technically broken? What do you mean, sort of?"

"Well...we took it back to the way it was, mostly. Now it seems to have emotions."

"That's certainly... interesting. And good. So, what now?"

Pic pulled out the crystalline rod and handed it to TAAron. 

"See, we could go through your magic using mine! Since it didn't really work before, I thought you'd like to know about this."

"Now," Rue said, "we need to figure out how to keep you alive."

"I'm confused. You can access it using their magic now, right?"

"Right. I'm still pretty much out of ideas."

"His existence is causing problems in the underworld. Death wants him dead. And we don't; so we need to do something."

Correction: Death doesn't want him dead, but will have to kill him if they don't do anything.

...close enough?

"Right. I'm still pretty much out of ideas."

Yeah. I used Rue and Nameless to reach through your magic and pull out the weaves. Rue reconstructed them and added the sentience. If you can think of anything this crystal would be good for, that'd be cool."

Pic sat down. "Well, crap. What's the something?"

"First things first... We need to go the the underworld, I assume?"

Pic sat down. "Well, crap. What's the something?"

  He took the rod. "Thanks. I guess it's just a piece of Stacis we can use for... something." The glowing red light drained out of it and into TAAron.

"Destroy the souls of my dead gods, apparently."

"Unless you know of any other way to stop Death from taking you." Rue frowned. "What if you just...didn't use your magic?"

Remember, Lerac mentioned that he occasionally uses it without specifically intending to. This is true.

Pic started humming as he considered the implications of all of this

"Do you have any ideas?"

"Do you have any ideas?"

Pic looked a little panicked and thoughtful. "I didn't even know there was an underworld until 5 seconds ago! What ideas can I have?"

Rue shrugged. "We don't have any either. Just thought I'd ask."

"Does it... have some sort of entrance, maybe?"

Rue raised an eyebrow. "You're the one who died...twice...I've never been there."

"Well sounds like we have step 1. There's a library here, right?"

Rue groaned. "You want to read?"

Rue raised an eyebrow. "You're the one who died...twice...I've never been there."

"Well, I don't remember the first time. And both times, I assume I got there by dying. Considering that that's what we're trying to avoid... I don't think it's a viable method."

[Cash67]

Just now, Edema Rue said:

Rue groaned. "You want to read?"

"Not read, skim. Someone has got to have information about possible entrances. The library is as good of a place to look as any."

"Well, I don't remember the first time. And both times, I assume I got there by dying. Considering that that's what we're trying to avoid... I don't think it's a viable method."

Pic nodded at this. "At least reading won't kill us"
