Jaywalk Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 3 minutes ago, Shard of Thought said: Kelsier's face fell, his posture slumping. "No," he said. "No, not another one... My son..." Even Jasnah's expression softened. She said nothing, looking down at her coffee, unsure how to react. "How did this happen?" she asked, her voice uncharacteristically soft. “Astral...the withergeists...I barely escaped with my life myself.” He shook his head. “But that doesn’t matter. I deserve to be dead.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deserve to be dead.” Kelsier glared, his grief becoming cold anger. "Astral," he growled. "Whatever that creature is, I will-" Jasnah laid a hand on his arm, giving him a look. Not a stubborn one. A pained one. "Kelsier, look at Jay. He is grieving. And you should be too." Kelsier shook, clenching his hands into fists. "I can't lose someone else!" he cried, frantic. "But you have," Jasnah said firmly. There was a long silence. "You don't think I'm angry too?" Tears streamed down her cheeks. "Max didn't deserve to die."

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Kill, and they kill in return... whispered a voice from the past. Kill. And they kill in return... He shivered, phantom pain playing across his scars. Kelsier was old now. He'd lived a very long time. People died. They just did. He closed his eyes and let himself cry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaywalk Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Jaywalk left the Kelsnah home, numb. He felt nothing. He opened a portal through the void. Where it led, he did not know, but he stepped through nonetheless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xinoehp512 Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 The lamp was going out. Bit by bit, its radiance was dimming. And with it, its protection. Xinoehp didn't remember where he'd picked it up. He didn't know how it worked. But, somehow, it had protected him from the withergeists so far. He'd thought reaching the top of the mountain would provide an answer. A path to take that would let him fix everything. But nothing had shown itself so far. And now the light was dimming. He didn't want to think about what would happen if it went out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xinoehp512 Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 The consultant he hired should work. Fate gazed at him with an unreadable expression. "You will pay any price?" "Yes," whispered Xinoehp. "Just let this nightmare end..." Fate smiled. "It is done. Or," he raised an eyebrow. "perhaps it will be done. Or maybe it has been done already. Which, only time will reveal." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
