Of course he isn’t! This guy is a piece of Bacon the Bard’s soul mixed with a fever dream, augmented by the Plotblade of Nonsense! 
Meat cackled, then did a cartwheel. “Epon! Aaare you?” 

"I think I am?"

Qodi shrank. As she shrank, Gail gradually felt her own strength returning. Qodi did not take back any of the wounds. Or the pain. 

“She’s my bondmate,” Gail explained. 

"That's mighty freaky. They don't prepare you for that in training."

Able to stand straight, Pyk looked to Asher. “Thank you. For coming back.”

@Kino

hey!

*sigh*

Two arms sprouted from the chest, holding you there as it pulled you in and but you, then threw you away from it.

The chest stood up.

That’s —

It would be poor obfuscation if you weren’t. I can be more clear though. 

“That is a good portion of it, yes. But humans aren’t the only ones to wither or go off track without a goal. Success leaves things adrift, be it a person or a plotline. With nowhere to go, people repeat and stagnate, and stories fade away. Even you and I might.” 

“Ah… so I need a purpose at all times. We all do.” She frowned. “My mother, if you could call her that, was once tittering about something similar.”

"Yeah. Jeep first. Let's go"

"You feel a bit better?"

He nodded curtly and got into the jeep, waiting for her.

She nodded happily.

They walked for a little while more.

How much further do you want to go?

I don’t care. As far as you want. 

He’d be perfectly happy to wander forever, holding her hand.

"And that's where she got the dragons from?"

“As well as the other creatures.”

“Yeah… it kinda sucks.” She stumbled to her feet, still covered in gashes she hasn’t earned. “For me, at least.”

KeCil lifted his sword, ready to parry.

Actually, I’m not sure you can party the ds mimics

Def not this attack, tho

The mimic lunged forwards, grabbing him and biting him.

"Why wouldn't i? I only left cause I didn't know how to control powers."

“It’s not that… it’s just…” He struggled for the words, ultimately unsuccessful. “I… thank you. Sorry.”

"I can tell." Glen jogs away a length, finding his shirt, then brings it back, wetting it in the stream, and starts gently cleaning out her wounds.

Just now, Thee insane said:

"stop apologizing and let's finish this"

He nodded, looking at the massive crystal dragon. It seemed… hollow, now. Unmoving.

At the other side of the cavern, however, stood a man. He was watching them curiously, and it was unclear when he had entered the cavern.

the three griffins stood protective infront of the pair ready to kill the man.

The man snorted at the griffins.

He shifted, appearing closer. They could now see his eyes.

Pitch black.

The man raised his hands in surrender. “Peace! I’m unarmed!”

Pyk froze. He knew that voice, had heard those words.

Rage boiled inside of him as he considered the man, still off-balance from the torture, barely containing himself.

Asher held his shoulders. "Pyk. Your not fully healed. Don't do anything stupid." Asher narrows her eyes "who the *storms* are you?"

Pyk nodded slightly, hearing and processing but not understanding.

”I have been called many things, from the dawn of-“

He cut off, grinning. “Nah, I’m just Kintlen.”

Glancing at Pyk, “Long time no see!”

Pyk started readying a Cast subconsciously, and he found it much easier to use his powers now.

His powers seemed to hate the man as well.

”That man… he killed… Dint.”

She shrugged, then glared at Qodi. Qodi rolled her eyes as if irritated, then bit Gale. The wounds healed.

Glen raised his eyebrows. "That is not something they tell you about when you're a field medic." He leans down to Gale's ear, "I think something is wrong with that thing." He whispers.

“She bit some twin Plotblades. Boon and Bane.” 

I believe they were yours, in fact  

“So now she can do that. It used to be a lot more random. Sometimes it still is.”

“Yes,” Pyk growled.

He stalked forwards, unleashing barrages of Adari attack he didn’t know he knew. His power seemed… different.

Kintlen teleported away, leaving an afterimage of light and appearing elsewhere.

A thought ran through Pyk’s mind unbidden. False Vessel.

Kintlen raised a hands and his eyes glowed white, a stark contrast to the pitch black that occupied the sockets.

School again…

"How many different worlds did she pull them from?" he was quietly tapping out a complicated set of rhythms on his fingers while talking.

Sorry I keep disappearing randomly. Every time I sit down at the computer, something else goes up in flames and I have to leave.

I've never held any plotblade
