I dismiss the winds transmitting my words to Queen's ears alone. "Fadran we must be wary. Winter does not remember us. Something happened to him. He is more dangerous than he was before." I struggle to sit up, but I cannot the agony binds me in place.

"Nononono, siddown. That's an order from Leader McAwesomesauce Guy." He shoots a knowing glance at Queen before turning back to Nath. "Don't ask; I don't understand it completely myself yet. I agree, we need to be wary... but we also have a revolution to fight, a base to save, and something very, very important to discuss." He leans in secretively. "You're married?"

I weakly call a breeze to carry my words to Queen's ears alone. "I know what you did. It was brave if risky. You might have been trapped in my mind with no way out. You also might have seen things that were meant to remain hidden. Be wary Queen, knowledge is a truly powerful thing. It can guide us, but if abused it can destroy all. I will hold your secrets near, you do the same for what you may have seen some things should not yet be known." My eyes soften. "I have learned loss Queen. I may yet need you to guide me through the dark for I fear that I will be lost in it." 

Queen nodded slightly, covertly enough that the others wouldn't notice.

It's going to be like this? Very well.

Fadran's words strike a deep blow tearing into my already festering wound. The utter torment boils up and tears pour down my cheeks. Hopelessness settles in bringing a chill to my flesh. I set my jaw and tug on the bond between Fadran and myself. I pull him into the realm between realms. We stand in the ruins of my mindscape. Devestation surrounds us and my age finally shows. My strength is gone. I stand with weakness carved into me for all to see. An aura of raw sorrow flies from my every cell. Loneliness rears its head and forms a body almost separate from my own. I look into Fadran's eyes all of my emotion leaks out. When I speak all is known. "I loved once. For 2 millennia I loved. Now that love is gone. I know what you saw, but you did not see it all let me show you." From the depths memories ascend they surround Fadran and pull him in.

I extend my mindscape just enough that Queen can hear what is being said and witnessed in this other plane.

Queen was startled as she was yet again pulled into another person's mind. Nath's mind. What was he showing her? No, not just her, she could sense Fadran as well. She waited expectantly, curiosity bubbling as she lingered in anticipation.

They will prove themselves worthy of this trust."

 

Fox glanced at the others, before hesitantly saying, "Yes, Nath, it will be hard, but I will trust them if you do."

"Hunters, I think." Vapor says. "Right, Vale?" @Negative_Null

"Right. They were fighting the beast before we led it away. Now they see another quarry. Over here, through these trees."

Vale darts through some bushes, then puts his weapon away and his hands up.

"Civilians are in the area!" he calls.

[Vapor she/her]

Vapor walks into the bushes around the area where the fireball came out. "Hello?"

Y'know, Nath, I'm feeling the same way as Queen right now... I'm also horribly bored. I need you to improve my day with what I'm sure will be an incredible post, as all of your posts are incredible!!!

The mindscape vanishes from around us. A battlefield riddled with countless dead appears as far as our eyes can behold. Smoke and death hang heavy in the air and above it all a figure a figure in armor of ebony bone which glows as scarlet fire flies. Screams fill my ears and the scents of war weave a tapestry that is as new now as it was the day that I experienced it. Wailing and terror grows, as before us the winged figure descends upon the field. Her blades as pitch are scythes through new grain. Her derision can be felt across the battlefield as she hurls ancient curses at the armies that battle her alone. She pauses as a golden figure appears before her. It's blades meet hers. Cracks appear across the horizon. Tremors tear the scene in two and it shatters.

We are now above a sea tossed by violent storms. The spray fills me with vigor and the tang of salt clings to me as an old friend in need. Iron clouds spill icy tears. Lights both gold and scarlet clash in the darkness. The scene shudders and vanishes.

In the darkness we stand lifeless void surrounds us. Two figures one glowing scarlet the other gold. Worlds spring up from nothing. Color chases away void. Life chases emptiness into an abyss of no return. The gold turns to the red and takes her into his embrace as the scene melts. 

Scenes begin to meld together almost faster than the eye can see. These two figures seated atop rich jeweled thrones. Laughter echoing. The two of them smiling as they do battle side by side two gleaming knives in her hands. Him presenting her with armor of light and her presenting him with intricate armor of ebony bones. Arguments that shake the heavens and earth. Armies dying as these two stand opposite each other tears in their eyes. 

Finally, the scenes slow. These two stand alone in the dark. "Nath please." Her voice is so rich. So powerful. So filled with the pain of love betrayed. Tears fall freely from her emerald eyes. 

"I have no the strength to stop them."

"Where is your passion. Your fire?"

"It died when our love did.

"You cannot believe that."

"I'm afraid I do."

The figure of gold waves his hands and before them appear the intricately carved gates which exude terrible power. They open as if sensing that they will have new flesh to consume. Nath pushes her forward and through the door. In his hands appear the armor she gave him. After the slightest of pauses he tosses the armor after her. Those accursed gates slam shut and are gone. "Goodbye my light." He turns a single tear sliding down his face. Everything fades away.

 

Winter appears across from you a bloodied knife yet still gleaming knife in his hand. He tosses it to the ground. The scene evaporates and the ruined mindscape reappears around us.

 

I fall to my knees. My body is wracked with sobs and agony. I cannot even look at Fadran. "Now you know."

Fadran was silent. For the trillionth time that day, he had no words to give. He simply placed an arm around Nathrangking's shoulders and sat there in silence.

Oh, gosh, my heart.

Queen sits, her legs unable to hold her up any longer, even mentally. She sits in silence for a time, then looks toward Nath, uttering a single word. "Why?"

"Fadran, this is why I failed. She was the greatest of my failures. He killed her. She died protecting the one who locked her away." Anguish rushes through me and for the first time in an eon. I sit in silence wondering if I can ever heal.

I stir my body still shaking beneath weights so vast that to speak of it to mere mortals is to risk destroying their sense of self. My eyes meet her's. "Why what Queen? In all of this there is much that even I don't fully understand." The tremors calm a bit, but I'm still drowning where no water exists.

[Condensation she/her]

Herate shakes her head as if trying to clear it, then sighs, pulls out her Essence Marks, and stamps herself. Herial rushes over to Nath, worried. "Don't move. Your ribs are broken and you have a punctured lung. It'll hurt for a while, but if you leave them alone, they'll heal."

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Nya flew.

Around her, fireballs continued to explode, searing her wings with their intense heat. She zigzagged crazily, panic blocking out all conscious thought. She had to run, run, run...

All of a sudden, a fireball exploded in front of her, red light flashing in her eyes. She screamed, nearly falling out of the sky in terror. Somehow she managed to dodge- but soon after came another fireball. And another. Closer and closer...

Before she knew it, she was on the ground. The hunters surrounded her, their forms cloaked in shadow. "Got you," said one, his tone echoing maliciously in Nya's panic-filled mind. Red light flashed in his hands.

In the purple gemstone over Nya's heart, a crack appeared.

Nya gasped as an image flashed through her mind.

Red eyes. Red light flashing in a blazing silhouette.

The clearing filled with a hum as the hunter prepared a fireball.

Ripples.

Nya screamed.

An instant later, the world broke.

Jeffery's head jerked to the side as a faint flash of red shone from within the forest. A moment later, a light breeze wafted past the group.

"There," he breathed, pointing. "She's there."

Vapor grabs her shardblade and runs around the corner, to the other edge of the clearing. She peers into the area.
