"It's okay, Lundyn. Just breathe."

When the embers appeared, she really had to work to sound calm. "Settle down. Getting worked up won't help."

Lundyn tried her best to even out her breathing as Aventine spoke to her, but the mob of people was scaring her. it was getting hard for her to ignore them.

At the appearance of the embers, the mob grew restless...more angry and more afraid at the same time. Voices started calling out, screaming for them to leave, and then there were dozens of them and the words yielded to an indistinguishable roar. Someone, then several someone's, started throwing rocks.

With each rock, Lundyn grew more and more upset.

"Please stop!" She let some of the rocks hit her intentionally. "We don't want to hurt anyone! I'll even let you guys take me prisoner if you want! Just let these guys go!"

"No!!" Lundyn grew restless, and finally, the tree caught fire, releasing her wing. She flew up, then went right back down, due to the injury on her wing.

She hit the ground with a thud, her body going limp. She was barely conscious.

She went over as quickly as she could and shielded her with her own body, bleeding and bruised.

holy jebidus I feel bad for causing this-

anyway-

Lundyn adjusted her body so she could face Aventine.

"I didn't mean to cause this... I'm so sorry," she was crying, but her tears were tinted purple (anger and guilt indication)

The sun flickered. (like how the lights flickered that one time in the clinic except its the sun)

wait, weren't we supposed to wait for Cash?

tortellini kicks open the door to the clinic, and runs in-between the mob and his... friends?, throwing down a spell, generating a protective shield. "bout time I showed up, eh?" he wisecracks, due to his writer having yet to figure out his character arc.

tortellini looks at the rift in spacetime close behind him. "oh yeah... forgot about that..." he mutters, remembering his old teleportation amulet he found when he was a kid.

i'm thinking she can shift everyone back to the clinic (or wherever we were planning on going to next) but I'm waiting for Raven and Cash

Lerac ignored the object, approaching Thaidakar further. He gave off his typical healing warmth.

Thaidakar didnt seem too much affected, beyond a slight twitch of his lip.

3 hours ago, The Bookwyrm said:

Bookwyrm stepped back, uneasy. He began scanning the bar for another way out.

"That's a tough question."

The bar shook, sending bits of the ceiling down. Dust and gravel showered over Bookwyrm. 

“so you can’t answer,” Thaidakar said; and his voice quavered. “Reality is what is real. And then what is real?” He laughed bitterly. “My reality is what I make it.”

with a violent burst of red light, Bookwyrm was thrown out of Thaidakar’s mind and across the room.

Thaidakar rose into the air lethargically, red power flowing from his fingertips to snake through the air. The serpentine arrows circled around those in the room.

“I am reality.”

the light exploded around them, sending those in the room flying. Thaidakar shot through the door, flying through the hallway.

Just before he made it out the door, Lerac grabbed him by the arm. Immediately, waves of that warmth coursed through him. It was the essence of life, healing and comforting.

This will heal anything physically wrong, and also is a comforting and grounding mental experience, though it can't directly fix anything there

Thaidakar's hand twisted, grabbing Lerac's wrist. A jolt of energy threw him back, or, at least, distracted him momentarily. Even as he did so, there was a mixed expression on his face, almost one of hesitation. Yet, as soon as it had appeared, it had vanished.

The jolt of energy didn't seem to bother Lerac, and he held on. The energy continued flowing into Thaidakar. "What is it you want reality to be?"

You can have him try as much as you want, but Lerac has the equivalent power of a minor god, and he can heal himself just as well as he can heal others. 

I don't know how powerful Thaid is though, maybe he could do something

Tal frowned. The paper suddenly burst into flame, and he winced. Stop that.

Give me something better to do.

Get out of my head. Laughter. Tal grimaced. "Thaid?" He said out loud. "Bookwyrm? Can either of you hear me?"

Bookwyrm quickly jumped to his feet. He started to glow with blue and white light. He dashed out of the room and ran after Thaidakar.

He switched the direction forward to down, and started to fall. Bookwyrm soared down the hallway after his friend. As he fell, a thin sword made of blue metal, with a small disk of glass embedded where the hilt met the blade. It glowed with a soft light.

He sent another message towards Thaidakar's mind. What made you so disillusioned? You were once one of the most resolute men I knew.

Please. I want to help.

Gahhh just woke up

Once Lundyn fell, time seemed to move in slow motion for Pic. Rocks flew at Aventine, at him, striking glancing blows. Pic’s anger grew until all he heard was a deep thrum. Was it his voice? His imagination? The music drew him to action.
 

He knew he would survive these rocks, but what about the child? These people were about to move in and execute her for being stuck in a tree. It wasn’t fair. It never was, and it never would be, outside the clinic. Pics eyes followed a rock as it arced towards Lundyn’s unconscious body, and in that moment, Pic knew he had a choice to make.

He chose to break. 
 

Something in him snapped like an overused guitar string. He may have experienced this before, but he would not let this happen again to a mere child. He began to hum a thrumming tune; one of death, destruction, and justice. 
 

The mob saw the staves move from the tree to around Pic. They glowed red and enveloped his arms. Shadows followed Pic as he ran towards the rock The staves made it seem as if light was being sucked out of his very surroundings. He punched the rock, shattering it and scattering shrapnel in every direction. Pic’s face had a few cuts, but he didn’t notice the blood dripping down his nose and neck. Pic’s voice unleashed an unholy scream as he launched himself at the mob. Rocks shattered, pitchforks and bones alike snapped, and no injuries seemed to slow Pic down.

As he clawed his way through the mass, Pic was driven by a desire to protect. He would NOT let Lundyn be crushed. He would NOT let Aventine take any more scars than she already had. These people, however? They seemed to need a few scars.

”You have never known, nor do I wish you to know what I have gone through for millennia,” Thaidakar growled. “Imagine if the ones you loved most were killed again and again and again for an eternity. Imagine being abandoned over and over again. Imagine the unimaginable. I have caused pain, so much pain… let me go, Bookwyrm, let me go.”
