The wall observed it for writing.

The paper read:

We have found a way to trap the Witherlord, but it is only temporary. With the help of one who can manipulate time, it may be able to stretch to an infinity. If you have a way to permanently banish him from TLT, we will help.

However, the emissary was not sure where to go.

Deep in an underground cavern, the six skeins, the ones met before, gathered together to wait.

Thaidakar teleported there and said, "I know someone named bob." thaidakar said flatly.

[Silva]

"We do, we can bind him for at least a short period of time. However, we do not dare test it on this Witherlord, elsewhise he figures out how to escape from it."

"What is it? And if you have not tested it on the Witherlord, how do you know it works?"

"If we circle him, we have an enchantment that will bind him, it will bind anything, living or dead, though the time it can be bound varies depending on the power of the thing or one being bound. However, it will take exactly three realtime minutes to complete, and the one we wish to bind must remain within a given area."

"oh, then why were you asking about time manipulators?" Thaidakar scratched his head and then ate a cheeseburger.

"The one inside the binding can have time stretched in such a way so that if it would take them 2 minutes to escape, it would take two millenia. However, it takes an incredibly strong chronokinetic to do it."

"Very well then," the skeins chorused. They moved so that they were in a circle centered on the consultant. Holding up their arms, they began to chant, and shifting blue lines appeared on the floor, reminiscent of casting circles. they finished with one word that was in a different language, but all understood - "BIND!", and the consultant was unable to do anything, except think, and that only as if he was feruchemically storing thoughtspeed nearly to the limit.

The six remained with their arms in the air for a moment, then dropped them, and the consultant was immediately freed from the spell.

"Luxsprite energy," the consultant in a hushed tone. "How is this possible?"

"my dear, anything is possible." a shadow walked in, it blended into whatever it touched, so unless it wanted you to see it you could not, "anything is possible," it repeated, "TLT is a wide universe with one rule, anything and everything is possible."

Clearly, it was possible, since it had happened. The strange thing was, the luxsprites had been utterly wiped out by the withergeists an eternity before. There had been only one survivor, and he had left the last time the Witherlord rose.

The shadow smiled and then dissapeared, or seemed to. they were truly still there as they were everywhere. the shadow was a being beyond the conception of the usually small minds in TLT. the shadow was something vast, vaster then many other things.

The Derka smacked it, because it was his cousin.(all elemental forces are kin)

The six skeins shrugged in unison. "We know only that it is the most basic, most primal force, the one we have in common. We were once one being, but we have found that we cannot REUNITE until the Witherlord is defeated, for his existence was part of our SHATTERing. We have only vague, disjointed memories of what we were before. We know better what the one whom we are calling Bob is than we know ourselves."
