His eyes focused, and he looked around, hesitant. “Where am I?” He had a crown on, one similar to the crowns that both Jakob and Aela had worn. However, this did not seem to be outwardly magical. It was wrought of gold, with a large purple-blue gemstone set in the front. @Through The Living Glass That’s um… that’s me. Apparently. She shrugged. “Near a city.”
Through the Living Shadow he/him Posted July 9, 2025 Author Posted July 9, 2025 Just now, Spark of Hope said: She shrugged. “Near a city.” I believe… I am not sure… that that is Intellect. He frowned. “Can you tell me the name.” Looking upward, he gasped. “I’m not anywhere remotely near home, am I? What is that?”

He frowned. “Can you tell me the name.” Looking upward, he gasped. “I’m not anywhere remotely near home, am I? What is that?” She shook her head. “Don’t know it.” Hearing what Mirth told her, her face went slightly slack. “What is what?”

We're going to the University. To save a god called intellect. Who are you?" ”I am known as the Eternal King. Otherwise known as the Constant. No name besides.”
Through the Living Hope Posted July 9, 2025 Posted July 9, 2025 1 minute ago, SpiritOfWrath said: “That abhorrent light?” ”I am known as the Eternal King. Otherwise known as the Constant. No name besides.” She looked up.
Through the Living Shadow he/him Posted July 9, 2025 Author Posted July 9, 2025 Just now, Spark of Hope said: She looked up. There was only the sun.

Through the Living Shadow he/him Posted July 9, 2025 Author Posted July 9, 2025 Just now, Spark of Hope said: “The sun.” “What’s that?” He was frowning rather archly. “Hhmmm… seems to be some sort of body in the sky. I don’t suppose we’ve ever tried going very far upwards.” 2 minutes ago, Argenti said: I see why they killed you now. "So, Constant. Have any voices in your head?" Hey! It was a nonsentient thing that killed me at the first. Constant laughed slightly. “No - I’m the voice in other people’s head, I suppose. Still haven’t gotten used to the whole ‘eternal kingdom’ thing.”

He claims to know who you are, but refuses to tell me."

I killed him before, in another world."

The Slumber has taken ahold of him.

Aeia doesn’t like to talk about it - she, I think, likes to pretend it doesn’t exist. She also likes to pretend that the Eternal Kingdom, so she has to at least pretend not to mind me looking into it. I’ve found… nothing. Not a trace. But it’s interesting you mentioned it.” Am I? I believe not. Plus - the Slumber… think of it more like exhaustion. You’ve just ran thee bajiliony miles, and you’ve had no rest. It gets hard to think.
