What is Andharik?” Andharik is the energy that permeates the world. It coalesces in moments of life, and moments of death, but also fills up the world of the spirits. So when someone dies, they receive an influx of this energy, empowering their soul. I was the first to die, in this world. So none had gone before me to collect this energy, and there was a surplus of it. I quickly learned that those who stayed after their death would often be malicious, and needed to be taken care of. But this is different. Sometimes, a spirit is benevolent, and they grant a mortal an excess of Andharik energy. Though with good intentions, this cannot be allowed, as the person would torment those around them. Quote Andharik-busters! 1

Rust points to the north and south. “Is the Andharik there and there, and between them? My people know that there is energy - life - that fills worlds, and points the way to places. Not every place has it, I have heard, but those that do are like nodes, but for gods.”

A short woman was their destination, a blindfold over her eyes. She heard them, turning towards them.

Rust isn’t very experienced with combat, but they extend limbs, planning to do … something. Probably. “So what now?”

We should see if a node can look at you, after we banish this copper human.” Rust waits for the signal, then “runs” towards the woman, leaping and flowing across the ground.

As Rust does this, the blindfold slips off to reveal two deep gouges, the surrounding skin long since stained red, and the woman’s movements signaled a slight insanity. Adtae teleported behind her, and an unnaturally strong arm snaps upwards, shoving Adtae backwards with many times the normal force. Quote Completely unintentional physics joke there.

Adtae teleported to her, but farther away this time. He held out a hand, forming the only weapon he had ever used. The one that should never have been a weapon in the first place. A tool, before weapons were even invented. A scythe popped into his hand, darkening the air around it, woven of the shadow.

A feat that was not supposed to be possible. How much time had passed since he left? Quote Well he is taking the worst cas scenario, thinking that he had been away from the world for to long, and waaay to much Andharik energy gathered.
