Through the Living Wrath he/him Posted January 7 Posted January 7 (edited) Quote Well, y’all are (for some reason, you can say that), next to the chasms, in a small clearing that used to be a small shrine to Aeia. The shrine is split down the center by a chasm. Spoiler If y’all need a reminder, the plateau you’re on is between Aeia, the Eternal King, and the Corrupted Flame. The major powers are Aeia and the Eternal Kingdom (who you are much closer to), but your individual villages have access to powers or other—as described by your character prep. Any Eternal would vaguely recognize Adtae as a corrupted Eternal, but they wouldn’t know why. They would not be able to sense him as an Eternal. Adtae Aelorin felt the grass underneath him. His hand ran through it, and he reminisced. Feelings. He used to have them, at least in the important ways. No longer. Aelorin took his mask off momentarily, letting the not-so-fresh fog of the chasm bite at his raw flesh. He supposed that this used to be a shrine to the other one. The bright one. Perhaps he should feel something. Rage. Elation. Something. Feelings. He used to have them, at least in the important ways. No longer.

I’ll move em to a spoiler Aelorin replaced the mask—a single darker color, sighing and inclining his head towards Kreen. “In case you were unaware, this is a shrine to the Goddess of Light, Aeia.” He placed his hand in the grass again before continuing. “I do not know why you are here, at the edge of the world. I don’t even know what I’m here for.” “The fog stirs.”

He smiled faintly, though it was not visible under the mask. He moved his hands, but couldn't speak further. He wrote on the grass, lines in the dirt.. It is difficult for me to speak. Clear. Something... happened, when I was young. Clear. I wasn't the same. Clear. It is difficult for me to feel.

Uuuhhh did you have a magic power you wanted? @Kansas Stormcursed @Spark of Hope A dark form erupted from the fog—seemingly forming from the fog. it was followed by a multitude of other forms. They rushed at the collection of people—most honoring the shrine of Aeia—devouring them. One of the forms consolidated into a scaly figure, muscle and claw shaped from darkness. Proud wings extended behind the body, and a loud roar of pain sounded. It lashed out, limbs striking whatever close in its blind rage. Its victims dissolved to must, which joined the dragon, seeping under its dark scales. Aelorin closed his eyes, from under his mask. The action was useless, for his eyes were far too damaged to move as such, but it was a familiar action. Something he could feel, almost. The forms pounced on a child near him. The child died. The forms pounced on the mother. The mother died. The forms pounced on the father, closest to Aelorin and the rest of the party. They stopped short, hitting an invisible barrier. Indeed, not a single form seemed to be able to near Aelorin from where he sat. The father collapsed, a cry of anguish coming from his lungs as he stumbled forwards—on his knees as he held the air where his family had been. He died as he hugged himself. The dragon roared again, pouncing towards Dev and pushing a claw through the barrier. It stepped forwards, approaching with difficulty. @Argenti A dark, cloaked form appeared behind you, though none other seemed to notice it.

Aelorin turned his head towards her, but did not move. The fog swirled around the bubble, and words formed. I see… or it sees… I see you. Edited January 8 by SpiritOfWrath
