Ralorin ran.

He ran through the night with everything he had left. The beast that had slain two of his comrades followed, close behind.

Armor rent and shield disfigured, he had no choice but to run, shattered sword useless in hand.

He stumbled, wounded side slowing him, and the creature closed the gap by a few feet, swiping its nearest leg at him. 

He glanced ahead and spotted a clearing up ahead. There he would make his last stand. Better to die in glory than die running like a coward.

Then he entered the clearing, and the night faded away.

Where was he?

He turned to face the beast, but found that it had vanished.

He took stock of the situation. 

It seemed… peaceful almost. Perhaps he could treat his wounds here, and perhaps find a way to end the terror plaguing his people.

The clearing appears as what would best serve the finder.

The Man noticed someone come rushing in he had something barely passable as armor. Wondering what could’ve happened to the poor fellow The Man approached him asking “What kind of hell did you go through?”

Ralorin looked at the man, still tired from the fight. Well, maybe fight wasn’t such a good word considering how poor of one he put up against such a powerful foe.  

“A Tormentor. Other two of us are dead. I should be too, honestly. Came here to die fighting instead of being run down. Where am I? Can’t be where I just was. Trees here aren’t dead, and the sun is up. And above all there don’t seem to be Tormentors here. Seems like quite a few steps up from Relth if you ask me.”

Accidentally came up with a name that Sanderson already came up with. *sigh*

Sol walks up to the two, listening in on the new arrivals story

”That world,” he mutters, “it sounds…familiar. And those beings almost sound like my-“

He cuts himself off.

She nodded. “Right…”

“Im Asher, this is pyk.”

Pyk shifted uncertainly.

Wait we aren’t waiting on me????

He cuts himself off.

“Lots of legs? Razor-sharp jaws? Shell stronger than steel?”

Ralorin paused catching something he said

“That world? Ah. That would make sense. What world is this, then?”

Ralorin processed further, and realized something. Right before he cut himself off.

“Your what exactly?” He said sharply, adding weight to his second word, calculated.

If this man was with Tormentor affiliated, he may have to run before they sold him out.

After all, he thought, eyes scanning for the nearest escape if he was forced to flee, Tormentors were hardly local to Relth. Many a world had already fallen to the Roaming Packs and their creatures.

If need be, he wouldn’t hesitate to see more than just that cut off from the man. Then again, perhaps it would be best to hear him out first. He was in no shape to fight, both from wounds and lack of gear.

I think you shouldn’t hate on good books even if the writer is a terrible person

Also I say fair reference, similar idea

For instance Woodrow Wilson fought the Germans in WWI, and that’s a good thing

He also let the KKK restart, a horrible thing

I can dislike the guy and he can still have done at least some good things

Similarly, the HP books are good and the author is really really not

Or Dr Seuss was really racist but later wrote some good stuff

People are complicated

Sol tenses at the arrivals sharp words,

”My…siblings. What you described before sounded similar to what some of my siblings act like. Some aren’t the…kindest when it comes to the treatment of mortals. Though it can’t be. Us of Kaos take on a human-esque appearance when entering realities.” He pauses, staring down the man, clearly weary.

”As for where we are, outside of reality. Some place where the things tormenting us and our worlds cannot reach.”

Fair point. I just prefer to distance from things surrounding the author. The HP books were the foundation of my reading journey and I wouldn’t read what/how I do without them.

“I…apologize. 

That may not be so easy to rule out. Nobody knows where the Roaming Packs came from, but world after world has fallen to them after they gained dominion over the Tormentors among other creatures.”

Everyone continued to ignore her. She found she didn’t mind. Slowly, she turned and began to walk. Maybe she could find a cave or something. Maybe she could scavenge for food. 

Ralorin noted the person hanging back on the edges. That would be the person he would first approach. Seemed the most like him.

Ralorin shrugged mentally. He’d take any help he could at this point. When in need, one cannot be picky about who comes to their aid. Elsewise you end up with no aid and will fail.

She briefly put a hand in her jacket pocket.

Ralorin noted the strange apparel. It seemed to be some kind of hooded tunic with pouches? Interesting.

She nodded briefly to herself and kept walking away. The one person who’d acknowledged her was no longer doing so. Better to leave now while she still could.

Ralorin realized the person he’d previously been speaking too had started staring off into the distance, so travelled over to the person he’d previously seen, hoping to find some allies or at least figure out what was happening.

”You and I are similar I think. We both have enough sense to stay to the edges.”

She jumped and “Eep!”ed.

ATTENTION

Here's some aliens, it'd be hard for a character to miss them

Hundreds of objects appeared to rip through the sky, bearing trails of white-hot plasma. The sonic boom that followed after their appearance would leave most people in the Clearing with ringing ears.

The alien starships landed gracefully on the ground, the exteriors made from a perfectly reflective material far beyond human technology. The ships ranged from a few hundred metres to kilometres in size. A hatch opened on one of the ships, and from it a drone, of human design, emerged. From the same ship, a human-sized door opened, and two humans walked out.

And of course then a huge explosion sounded

What were those? Floating towers?
