Tom nodded, excited. "It worked! Good. But I think we can do better."

He offered the Key to Ember/Star. "Can you get the me on the other side to give you his copy of this?"

"Yes. One moment." Star took a sharp inhale, putting a hand to her head. "I have a splitting headache."

Ember looked to the Tom on her side. "Tom. The other you instructed me to ask you for a Key. It looked like this." She touched his mind, sharing her memory with him.

Tom breathed in sharply.

"Ah," he said quietly. "That one."

He snapped his fingers- unknowingly duplicating the gesture of his twin a dimension away. The Key dropped into his hand. He regarded it quietly for a moment, then passed it to Ember.

"Has he given her the key yet?" asked Tom.

Star raised an eyebrow. "What Ke-" She stiffened again. "I have obtained the Key."

Tom exhaled. "Now reach out with the Key- both copies- to the Shard of Thought. Use that power to form a connection between the two Keys."

Tamika cocked her head. "My Shard? What of it?" Ember turned toward the Sliver.

"And who are you?"

What was that?

"The Key gives connection to the Shard of Thought. It's what allowed you to take it up, before." He sighed.

"Shall we proceed?" She asked though Star's lips.

Ok, I actually have no idea what timeline this is in. Presumably the one we did earlier- but didn't she get the Shard back, then?

Tom nodded. "Proceed."

It was a while ago. Her Shard was lost to her. We can change that if you want. 

Ember raised her hand, reaching out with her mind. The Key held power. Or rather, Connection to it. Ember tapped into the power source. 

Ember touched Tom's mind, letting him know what he needed to do.

I had trouble finding words for Ironclad Soul, so I'm posting another poem that I wrote instead. (if you guys want what I had of the other poem, I'll post that too)

Grey morning air. 

Clouds reflected in silver puddles.

Dying stars, shining their last breaths.

Sun splaying painted colors across the newborn horizon.

Red upon purple upon midnight blue at dawn.

 

All.

Shattered.

 

Boots.

Splintering the icy tears of the heavens,

Still wet underneath.

Disturbing blankets of ice,

Laid to rest under the splitting sky.

 

Boots.

Strolling through the end of the world.

Silently kicking up crystal droplets, 

Reflecting brilliance,

Hitting the ground,

And bursting.

 

Boots.

Worn and muddy.

Loved and used.

Black and yellow.

Rubber.

Full of memories.

 

On the feet of a young girl,

Wearing a blue coat with several buttons, 

With golden hair and sapphire eyes,

Hope on her lips,

And weight on her shoulders.

 

Boots. 

Treading through the muddy trenches of life,

Crushing colors carelessly,

Like a wildfire across a plain.

Slowing for no man,

And carrying the resilient.

 

Be careful, I warn you,

With your boots.

You can’t bring back the moments,

Lost underfoot.

Can’t create,

If all you do is destroy.

 

Can’t find your paradise through the trees,

Can’t find a light in the shadows cast on the wall.

Not if your boots are tromping through the sunrise.

Not if your boots are all that matters.

 

Would I lie to you?

There’s nothing but dark now

In my little world.

The stars winked out years ago.

But it’s too late, too late. 

 

Stop to see the sunrise.

Keep the light of the stars.

It is a gift, this life,

And you choose how to spend it.

 

Hold it close.

Dance on the ash.

Rebuild the ruins.

Shatter the past, not the beauty. 

The pain of regret is much worse,

Than the fear of making the leap.

We may need to.

The Key flashed and began to hum as it connected to its twin.

The Key flashed and began to hum as it connected to its twin.

The humming got louder and louder as the Key began to increase in luminosity.

The humming got louder and louder as the Key began to increase in luminosity.

All of a sudden, a loud crack split the air as a beam of light leapt between the Key and the box on the stern.

Three figures appeared in a flash of light.

Kay, I'll just edit it out then. 

Also... what just happened exactly?
