Hacob followed. The rock seemed to be moving closer to them, then farther away, then closer again.

Template also turns into a rabbit, but Tam isn’t forced back. Unable to talk as a rabbit, they run around in panic.

He is... he is.... beyond all powers you could muster. Dangerous. I.... I was once... I am Prisoner. That was forced upon me.

Prisoner. Do you remember any other names?

Excellent. I will schedule an appointment.

Subversion snapped her fingers and the paperwork was filled out. “Done! Now, where are the students?”

We'll inform you when we need you. Until then, you can stay in one of our guest rooms.

Answers.

That worried her a little.

She made herself visible again and sighed, not caring if Template saw.

"Yesterday, I guess. It wasn't for very long- but I shouldn't even need to sleep. I mean-" she waved her hand at everyone else on the beach, "-did you notice that no one in the group actually sleeps? Ever?"

She shrugged. "I'm fine physically, I just . . ." she paused, sighing again, and rested her arm over her eyes.

"Ah, right." Bacon sighed. "Answers that nobody seems to have."

After a few hours Sylas stops crying. He gets up and wipes his eyes. Very warily he stumbles towards the entrance of the temple.

A voice comes to him in his head "Sylas..." It hisses like a venomous snake. "You seek help."

“You look a sight,” said a voice from a tree above him. It was a cat— a black cat. Almost too perfect, he wore a shiny, intricate gold collar.

"Not right now...." Sylas almost says to himself. "I'm not ready to have another breakdown. Especially not in front of a talking cat." There are dark circles under his eyes from the exhaustion he has from planar travel and his little episode just barely.

@oOklA thE shInyYyy

This isn't me saying I don't want to engage in conversation or plot for the character, I just thought that's what he'd say, maybe if you press on something will happen * wink wink * * nudge nudge *.

Also I was just wondering what was happening with the jungle temple?

The Emperor goes to his mind. I don't wish to remember those memories. They frighten me. It's when my home realm was destroyed. He seems to telepathically say to Omen. Some part of him may be willing to fill the memory in, but he seems to lack motivation. Maybe if he was persuaded? 

Omen replied swiftly"You cannot face the Dreamsmith if you cannot face your fears. And besides, the Dreamsmith must know what manner of foes you face in order to forge for you a suitable weapon."

"Alright, fine." Subversion wandered off, wondering what exactly had been in the contract she'd signed.

Platypus was confused. That seemed to happen to him a lot these days. Had the Wizard escaped?

The Emperor clenches his jaw. Finally, he relaxes and gives in. "The Maelstrom. It is a prison realm that I created for the Gods of Maelstrom, not much gods, but Demon lords of pure chaos, madness, and evil." He takes a deep breath to brace himself for the flood of painful memories. "These Demons leave destruction in their wake. They have leveled several planes of existence to little more than dust in the astral sea, just as they decimated my home realm. As this trial goes on, they prepare armies of their own to reign their chaos. The seal on the prison realm wanes, and not even Narration can stop it from doing so. As the seal wanes in power, the Demons' power grows. They are lead by Xal'Badreal, Demon Lord of the Toxic Chasm. He has amassed much power and he has gone extreme lengths to obtain it. As we speak, I believe he is attempting to coax as many Narrators as he can, or people who are close allies with Narrators." He almost collapses to one knee after he speaks this. "Tell me Omen. Will the Dreamsmith be capable of assisting?"

Nothing happens, but Template jumps up and down, shakes their head, then spins, trying to tell Bat something.

Template is turned into a blue carrot, pulling away the Narration.

Omen did not reply. Instead, the army fighting against the Emperor's forces took shape, forming into the Demons sealed within the Maelstrom, and others. Dark Narrators glowing with terrible energy. Ghanderflaffles promised eternal ascension in exchange for their aid. Withergeists, always happy to destroy. And more, far more. The army of the Maelstrom gods stretched as  far as the eye could see, and at their head was Xal'Badreal. He laughed, and in his hand held a Blade like no other.

Moni pointed. "Look! There's a cave there. We can stop for the night." There was indeed a cave a dark and looming entrance that looked more like the maw of some ferocious beast.

Naw you wouldn’t be on the thread if you didn’t want plot  

You’ll find out.
