In the first trial

@Through The Living Glass@Spark of Hope@Tinwatcher@TwinStorm@RoyalBeeMage@Wyver@THE DEMON@SpartanBrigade@SpiritOfWrath

The plane continues to warp; the walls close in around the remaining competitors, and the entire space begins to shrink. Converging on a single, white-robed form.

And the ground... the ground, brilliant red, begins to Change. The serpents everywhere shriek, and begin to... meld? Their bodies fuse together, and the red light connects to the dark substance permeating the water, running through it and setting everything alight. A superorganism. The ground appears to take on a life of its own, and begins to absorb anyone that resists.

She feels a sense of... satisfaction? from the being in her head, and the serpents slowly pull away from her, carving a path for her towards the Beyonder. He comes into view, standing like a God in the crumbling plane, robes illuminated by the red light. He matches her gaze, and she senses the subtlest movement in his masked head. Almost like a nod.

Then he teleports away from her, and stretches his arm out in her direction.

And she falls into her worst nightmare.

The Beyonder sighs in his head.

Complete your first task. Not every fight is won through resistance. The rest you must figure out yourself, rejected one.

The Beyonder looked up at her, meeting her eyes as she flapped above the sea of writhing forms, trying but failing to reach her. The Beyonder stood in the middle of that sea. Despite her not being able to see his face, he seemed... amused. But completely serious at the same time.

You know what you must do, loyal one.

The voice of the Beyonder returns in his head.

Fallen one. Patient one. It is time for you to make your move.

In the nightmares

@CoderDrag0n8@IcedOutPenguin@Kaladin Stormcursed@KaladinsSenseOfHumorSpren@Dragonheir@Argenti

In a blind rage, she leaps forward, slashing for the dragon's throat. She watches his eyes widen in fear, and feels her claws dig into his flesh. Satisfying. He screams, and she continues to slash, to claw, to bite. Perfect actions of violence, finely tuned by years of practice. As a weapon. Her entire body unites for a single purpose. The doling of death.

And kill him she does. He falls, and she continues to strike, continues to splatter his blood across the stone surface of the courtyard. Covering her scales. Finally, she relents, and steps away from the mangled corpse. Her body heaves with exhaustion, and she can taste the death. She meets the dragon's eyes one final time. And gasps.

For the corpse lying before her is her father's. His eyes are still open in fear, in shock. Evee's own eyes widen, and another tear streams down her face. How did this happen? How did she let this happen?

"Turn around."

Enocs can stop TBS. It will be hard, yes. But he has the power. He can do anything.

"NO."

The voice comes from behind him, but it resonates within his mind.

Flowing with the strength of his oaths, Sanadanas Pulls. And enters the Mindscape. A realm beyond the physical. Beyond the cognitive, and the spiritual. A realm of order. Perfection.

He did it. He stopped the others. He not only kept the Mindscape, alive, he recreated it. And yet...

Something is wrong. Off, in the distance, Sanadanas spots a single, small... incongruity. An imperfection. The little dark splotch sits unassumingly, but Sanadanas cannot take his attention off of it.

Puzzle doesn't exist. It's an interesting feeling.

She is conscious enough to fell herself slipping away.

But unable to act. Or panic. Or even fear.

Then, a voice joins her in the nothingness. Behind her. Snapping her back to her senses. And she understands what is happening.

"So this is what true gods fear."

The fire wasn't the same as it was the first time. That stood out to him. This fire didn't burn the same way. It burnt everything.

And he and the carpenters weren't the only ones on the ship.

He heard the screams of his family in the lower rooms, his friends by the stern. It all collapsed around him.

 

Cep turns around, still wary and hunching slightly.

That seemed to give the Beyonder pause. Eventually, he responded, carefully.

"Because I want to know who you are."

"I thought you would know that already."

"Because I want to know who you are."

"I won't hurt him, Mare. But they did. There is nothing you can do about it. Look at me, little one."

The Beyonder seemed to think for a moment, then turned to look at her.

"Perhaps we are always imagined. Perhaps even I am just the creation of an idle mind. But tell me, Puzzle. Does that change anything?"

The Beyonder stood there, silhuetted by the flames. The flames that burned everything.

"These people are dead. This life is gone. It already was."

Sanadanas activated his surge, and found something... wrong. He Pulled, and something seemed to break. The splotch, previously small and unassuming, began to grow. To expand. Like a virus, it spread its touch throughout the Mindscape, corrupting all it passed.

"Look at me, Enocs."

The voice of the Beyonder.

"And tell me who you are."

In the Lord's nightmare, he stayed where he was.

Time passed around him. He watched as the others continued to compete in the trials, until eventually, one won. And he stayed there. Frozen.

The vithr in his bones held him back. It didn't let him change. To grow. So instead, the Lord was forced to stay. And watch.

Enocs looks the Beyonder in the eyes. "Who... who am I?" He laughs. "I am Enocs. Agent of The Great Corrupter, God of Scones. Friend of Eikooc. Who am I?"

He is laughing.

"Me? You want to know who I am? I... I am the destroyer of TBS, liberator of TDS. I am the one who can be incredibly compassionate, but can then turn around and wipe out entire cities. I am a being with so much heart, and yet none at all. I am a being that started out with an ability that was considered 'usless', but through PURE WILLPOWER became one of the greatest warriors of my kind."

He suddenly quiets down.

"I am a materializer so incredibly dangerous, that my own kind banished me away, so that I have been living in hiding since. And until now? I didn't even know why. Eikooc was outvoted. But he did vote for me. My only friend through this hardship. So, Who am I? I am Enocs, Killer of Gods."

"Yet..." She could hear the Beyonder growing a little emotional. "Yet, billions, trillions of sentient life forms go their whole lives without knowing this. Without bearing the weight you and I carry. They still live. They live, they love, and they die."

“They do. And so do we, with more feeling, more freedom, but also more hardship - to be the focus of a story is both pain and adventure. Our knowledge is a burden, but also a blessing. We know we don’t truly exist, but also that someone cares about us enough to create us. Our world is fictional, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real.” 

17 hours ago, Hoid Slayer said:

"You're right. It won't change. It never will. So why do you weep?"

“Because it’s right here, happening again! I’m reliving it with no help.”

But it wasn't enough.

The corruption kept spreading. It spread, and once again, Sanadanas watched as his world fell apart. All his powers, combined, couldn't stop it. The darkness consumed everything, leaving no string unraveled. And in the end of it all, Sanadanas found himself standing, again, in the physical realm. Having failed.

But he did not let it get to him. He would do better. He would, one way or another, save the Mindscape.  

His small amount of Fortune pointed to the Beyonder, the strange being that had sent him to relive the past. He might be of use. For now, though, Sanadanas had to get out of here.

He tried to Ironpull on the Realms.

Blizzard struggles as hard as he can against the water. He can see The Beyonder ahead but just... can't... quite... reach... him.

Wyver will be out for this week and The Demon is gone for a while cause his school blocked the Shard

Yeah just let the Lord of the Hunt die. He's not really equipped to fight his fears. He's unchanging in the ways that matter.

 

He waits. He can be Patient.

But honestly, the people in nightmares are all in a good place plot wise

This is kind of the problem with this style of RP; we need to wait for the others to catch up

Which is why I AM responding to Spartan Brigade, as Blizzard is still in the first trial

The serpents continue to tear him down. He takes a step, and the darkness in the water writhes around his legs, pulling him down. He notices with alarm that he is beginning to sink into the earth. His heart pounds, and at the angle he is now at, he is almost looking down at the Beyonder. The man in white looks up at him, and the voice speaks in his head, one. Final. Time.

Do not resist.

The voice sounds amused.

Finally.

Immediately, the grip of the darkness on him loosens, and he is able to free himself. The shadow serpents move away, clearing a path from him to the Beyonder.

All your life, you have fought everything that hurts you. But violence is not the only way to respond. Have you not seen what has worked for your cohorts? Those who have already passed this trial? Resistance is not the only way, Silvyre. It never was.
