"Well, I can't think of any way that could possibly go wrong! You should do it. Make a holiday out of it or something."

Sequence shrugged. "It's a last resort. I'm willing to allow them to try at least a little bit longer to work out their differences..." Sequence sighed, and summoned a teakettle on a woven table near her chair. She poured three cups, took one, and offered the other two to Bacon and Hacob.

"Fair enough," conceded Bacon, accepting the tea. The piano continued to play in the background. "What say we give them until the end of tomorrow?"

The chamber darkens, and a chill runs through the air as you feel a pull towards the center. A shimmering figure materializes before you—your own reflection, but twisted and warped by your fears and regrets. Its eyes glimmer with an unsettling knowledge, mirroring your innermost doubts.

“Face the shadow that lives within you. It knows your deepest fears. Will you confront it, or let it consume you?”

Sequence nodded. “I’d prefer longer, but I believe that’s fair. They experience time much quicker than we do, anyways. I believe it’s… The year 7,290 by their calendar. The latter end of it. It should be about 7,293 by our ‘tomorrow’.” Sequence sipped her tea and rocked in her chair gently. “Y’know, I don’t know much about your backstory, Mr. The Bard. Tell me about yourself!”

I'M HERE I SWEAR I HAD TO DEBATE

Shoe approached the reflection, unsure what to do.

"Well, I popped into existence one day with the instinctive drive for chaos. I don't think Onyx was too happy to see me, to tell the truth. But he let me stay in his castle until I found a place of my own. Now, that was an adventure!"

Whispers flowed forth from the reflection, soft and biting. Accusations. It was all your fault.

I guess this was the last post in that storyline, so I guess it didn't say, never mind.

They show up on a beach in the middle of nowhere.

Shoe sighed and put his face in his hands. No. I already did this . . .

@Through The Living Glass’s post

And then it spoke in a perfect rendition of Shoe’s voice. 

“We’ve never been strong enough,” it mourned. “Never good enough. Never worth much, really. And… and that’s not something we can change. We really shouldn’t be bothering them. Or Nogard. He probably doesn’t even miss us…” 

Beosta thought that was incredibly uncalled for.

"We should keep moving," rumbled Selppaenip. "The Silent Hero followed us to your private world- who is to say he cannot follow us further?"

Bacon waved a hand. "What is time? I figure I came into existence shortly after Onyx made his castle, but really I have no idea. That's all backstory. In a sense, I only came into existence when I first appeared on the Thread. A shame, too - I would have liked to be involved in your legendary battle against the destroyer."

Sequence laughed. “Ah yes! I remember that… That was quite fun, actually. I love specially enjoyed building those towers.”

ARGH! What do you want me to say?! I'm scared of failing everyone around me! I'm scared because it seems like everyone else can make mistakes, but when I make mistakes people get hurt, or killed, o-or they leave me or just- he ran a trembling hand through his hair, I don't trust myself.

SORRY I'M BACK

Nowhere. A place on the edge of existience. A suitable prison. At least, suitable for the events that would take place. 

Falvan stood in the middle of a circle. In the same circle were Arranis and the Once-Author. 

"My friends, today you will deliver to me what I have always been destined to have. Power."

Falvan took a step closer. He was holding his strange twisted metal weapon in one hand. It had been crafted by the Dreamsmith. A creator of legendary skill. The weapon's power was of a strange but very unique nature. It was tied directly to Falvan. In his other hand, Falvan held a sheathed sword. It was an ancient relic, and recently held the fiend, practically immortal and destruction bent being of Desolation. It's name was Demolition. 

"Today, you die."

Falvan stepped out of the circle. The adege of it immidiatly began to glow blue. Falvan out Demolition on his side and took out a strange device. It was similar to a long, silver knife with a green tint that vibrated off the surface as it moved. 

"Today, I am reborn."

"Uh," said Nogard, somewhat alarmed. He glanced at the OA, a panicked expression on his face. "What did we just walk into?" he mouthed.

[The H]

I have returned. *reads posts* Goodness grief, that's a lot of story. What were my characters doing in that time?

Probably doing the same thing as everyone else, just not speaking.

Yeah that's it. Keep talking like you know what's going on, despite that you just read all of the pages anyway.

That sounds brilliant.

[Through the Living Shadow he/him]

*cough*
