Rue blinked in surprise, stumbling back. As soon as she stood, a sharp pain shot through her head, and she cried out, falling to the floor as several steel inquisitors rushed forward. A pair of them grabbed TAAron, dragging him off. “No…” Rue whispered, but she couldn’t stop the black cloud that invaded her mind. Everything faded to black.

It is heavily implied that is where the inquisitors take their prey victims. I think Archie mentioned rue was there once

I didn't, TAAron just said she might be

TAAron groaned, light sputtering out. It hurt so much...

The inquisitors gripped him tighter, dragging him along a stone passage.

He…was also guessing. 

Sorry, this is a very different than canon Scadrial, and I’ve taken a couple…liberties

I see nothing wrong with Rue being in Kredrik Shaw, mainly because I don't know where else she'd be.

Rue... He spoke in her mind, through the cloud of the strange sleep.

Is there any reason in particular you would want rue to not be at Kredrik Shaw?

Pic wanders in, stunned at the depravity. He hums a melancholy waltz that floats through the slums. As the song reaches people’s ears, they feel their sadness being acknowledged. Not lessened, not removed, but heard. Pic’s steps turned into a glide, making him look as if he is dancing. He followed Aventine.

Any in particular you'd be willing to point out in terms of changes?

 

[Through the Living Hope]

Aventine panted. She was out of breath from her sprint through the city. She stood outside the palace. She had  been counting on her friends’ abilities to fight, but just like the two weeks on her own, she had to rely on herself. Neither she nor Pic was a fighter.

@Cash67

She reached into her pocket and pulled out the lesarium. Doesn’t seem like I have much of a choice.

She put the bead in the vial of mixed metals and swallowed it all.

Time for a trial by fire.

Mostly, I’m just trying to create a little more plot so that we don’t spend another couple hundred pages meandering about  

Namely, a certain lord has more knowledge and power than he should. No obvious changes in character, just some lil things so that we can have a wee bit of fun, unless you have issues with that.

K so we’re not at the palace. Would the certain lord also happen to be the abusive father of a mute doppelgänger?

His glow reappeared, and he began struggling against the inquisitors despite the pain.

You referring to the Lord ruler (or his equivalent)?

Hm.

Could be interesting. Do the inquisitors happen to know more than they should?

I'm still going to have Melody go to the palace regardless, even if it is the wrong place. 

 

[Through the Living Hope]

Aventine fell from up high and barely managed to avoid breaking every bone in her body with a lucky Push.

Ah, geez…

Not the Lord Ruler, sorry if that was too vague.

As soon as she swallowed the bead, Pic heard a single, pure tone explode from her soul. It was so loud, so overpowering, so beautiful  that Pic had no choice but to hum along, and hum loud.

Any thoughts on how pic interacts with preservations magic?

He struggled further, his glow growing brighter. His arms became momentarily immaterial, falling out of the Inquisitors' grasps, but he couldn't muster the strength to get away.

I tend to associate music with joy, same with preservation, so I think they would blend well

As Aventine experimented with these new metals, she realized she’d left Pic behind.

Come on, Ave.

She waited in an alley, feeling sure that he’d be able to catch up.

One of the inquisitors kicked him. “Calm yourself.”

Tal glances at him. Something is off... "Easy," Tal said. "I'm not trying to hurt you. No one here is going to hurt you. I would advise you to think before doing anything reckless."

Aventine closed her eyes and felt for another new metal; she began to burn it.

Her ears flooded with sound. Tin, Waylen’s voice said in her head, increases the senses of those who burn it.

She listened closely, and she heard the gruff voice of an Inquisitor.

She extinguished the tin and opened her eyes. There was no way finding them would be that easy.

She burned it again and heard TAAron.

It IS that easy!

I vote knock TAAron unconscious or force him to digest aluminum 

It wasn't the guards who stopped Melody from continuing.

It was herself. 

She was suddenly all alone in the mists, with just foggy mist, twirling around in playful movements against the darkness of the night. 

The ground itself was silent, and the only person around was Melody

She walked forward, but nothing changed. Nothing new appeared, nothing new happened. 

What did I expect?

She pushed against the edges of the spatial plane, trying to leave, but what happened scared her.

Her realmwalking caused a slash to open, revealing distant worlds, all the same.

She tried again, this time using a different method to step outside of reality. Another tear was ripped open, rippling ominously.

An infinite loop.

Let's see how far this goes, then.

She pushed against the distant worlds to reach the space between. The space in which she would be able to enter and free herself.

The space was filled to the brim with the same worlds again and again, but on a different plane.

It was confusing for Melody to comprehend.

"It's like numbers," A voice said from all around her, "They exist on multiple planes."

A brief silence followed, and then the voice continued. "It's funny that our number system is so basic. Simple patterns and observable transformations. Now imagine if it was in two separate dimensions. An array of numbers."

Melody did, but she couldn't think of any examples besides silly looking equations in her head.

"If you are struggling to imagine that, think about what it is like in 3 dimensions. Or maybe four? Or how about five?" The voice continued, "Maybe if you think hard enough, you'll notice that patterns from our initial number system don't carry over, and that new patterns instigate."

Melody was starting to tune out the voice until it started speaking again. "You are that anomaly, Melody. Your existence destroys patterns that should otherwise stay constant. Your abilities can break anything, because at an universal level, not much is constant."

"I hope you understand why you're here. But don't worry. I didn't outsmart your powers. I just contained what was controlling them."

Look towards the future, Melody. Things will be glorious.

The last line was her own thoughts.

Where is she? She can't hear infinitely far, and also using that much tin would practically blind and deafen her. She might not be able to make them out without practice.
