After a moment, more light began to appear, points of varying size and brightness. This time, they seemed to form something cohesive in the shape of a person, though with few features. @InfiniteInsanity Edited April 29 by The Aspiring Archivist 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaidakar the Ghostblood Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 He reached for the doorknob of his room. When it didn't yield to his initial soft pull, Thaidakar ripped it back. it shattered as he threw it at the wall behind him. The knob crumped in his fingers and he clenched further into a spindle as he walked into his room. Around him were his trappings of old, his bed, his desk, his things. A power worked in him, drawing him to the desk. He dragged his finger over it, lifting half an inch of dust. He opened his laptop and the mechanical light bathed him in blues. His eyes blazed red in combat. It was open to an overview of a battle. The battle. There were their assets, there were the enemies, there were the walls, there were the different sectors... And there was Thaidakar. In a spasm of hurt that bubbled and trickled through his veins, power blazed from his eyes and incinerated the laptop. The slag dried on to the floor, melting the floorboards. A book lay open on the bed. Wiping the dust away, Thaid picked it up and read a few lines. He trembled, dropping the book. Pain roared in him, but he silenced it. In a mirror above his desk, something flickered. Thaidakar turned sharply, "Get out of my head..." his voice was hoarse, rippling with exhaustion and worry. A thing of red with black eyes stared him back, a toothy grin adorning its fell features. "Hello, my child." The mirror shattered, the wall behind it charred from the fiery energy Thaidakar had thrown at it. The thing leered at him from the shards on the ground, its voice carrying around him, "I am your past, present and future, Thaidakar, my son. You are mine. Together, we will do great things. They have not cared about you. No, once you became your own person, free from their ridiculousness, they saw you as less than a man. A memory. And you are much much more than that... They don't deserve you." A scream ripped from his throat. His eyes snapped closed and he buried the voice as far into the back of his mind as possible. When his eyes opened, there was nothing in the mirror. He was safe. And, yet, somehow he expected a voice to say, "Lies..." It never came. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookwyrm Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 59 minutes ago, Spark of Hope said: She picked up the pace when she heard his footfalls. He still moved slightly faster, though. That can't be good. She pushed the panic button under the desk and sent out an urgent telepathic pulse of emotion to anyone willing to listen. @Edema Rue @The Bookwyrm @InfiniteInsanity @Medium @The Aspiring Archivist @InfiniteInsanity Bookwyrm felt the call sound through his mind. And he very clearly felt it's source, far across the shifting tides of universes. The Clinic. Bookwyrm grabbed Insa's hand and threw them across reality towards the source of that call. The Clinic: Lobby The two landed on the floor of the lobby. "Sorry I took us without warning," Bookwyrm said to Insa. "I felt a way home and had to take it." He stood up and offered her his hand. @Thaidakar the Ghostblood Quote I don't know if Thaid would have been able to realize that Bookwyrm had shown up. @Spark of Hope Quote And I don't know if Sunny's still around to notice them arrive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bookwyrm Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Just now, Spark of Hope said: Sunny went over to them. "Are you here because of..." "The call? Yes." Bookwyrm took a minute to identify Sunny in his mind. She's a librarian, he eventually realized. They'd taken on some new staff after the Kaotic War, but he'd been gone for months looking for a prison for Saar with Insa, and so his memory needed a jog. Not that the search came to much in the end anyway... He paused that train of thought. Moping wouldn't do any good right now. "What's the matter?" he asked Sunny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He felt an unnerving darkness flooding from a very familiar room number. A presence stood in the source of the darkness. A familiar mind. A hero, a friend. Thaidakar.
