Vale darts to the right and stays low. He looks around a tree at the clearing where the flash came from.

@xinoehp512

The ground in the clearing looks like the aftermath of an earthquake, or perhaps a meteor spike. Jagged spikes of earth radiate out from a central point. Stunned and knocked over hunters line the edges of the crater. There is no sign of Nya.

"So it begins," breathes Jeffery. "At last..."

@Negative_Null, can you do the hunters?

Vapor walks into the clearing cautiously, avoiding the hunters and heading to the edge of the hole. "Nya?"

[Negative_Null They/Them]

One of the hunters manages to get up.

"What happened? Did anyone recognize that Fey?"

Vale comes into the clearing. "What did you do?"

[Vapor she/her]

Vapor peers into the crater, looking down. "Are you okay?"

There is no response.

"Where is she?" Vapor asks. "Nya!" she yells, looking around.

Queen shook her head. "I...I don't know. What happened between you? Why did you have to do what you did? Why...what...I still just have so many questions."

I struggle against the  chains of agony which bind me and rob me of my speech. They hold me tight in an embrace that freezes my body where I stand. Tears continue to fall down my face. My thoughts turn to my queen of light and a fire erupts within. As they carve their paths steam seems to arise. "I loved her more than I own existence. I would have given my life for her had she asked me to do so. There were powers and laws above us. The council sought Kishuphra's destruction. They feared her power. I was bound to my charge as the guardian of the gates. Rish and the others waited for her to violate the divine laws. I was too weak to raise my voice and fight back. I dragged her to the gates because of their words. I did not allow my love to be stronger. I will answer any question that you ask. I need your word regardless of what I tell you that my secrets will remain my own. Swear it by the ancient gods.I may now be mortal, but I will not have my secrets sent out into the world." The suffering which is so immense that it would rob mortal minds of their senses fills me.

When she was gone, Fadran asked carefully, What was it that you held onto?

"I suppose at first it was my charge as the guardian of the gates. I eventually found myself an apprentice. He was a mortal of no inconsiderable heart and skill. He was like a son to me. In time I failed him. His desire for more knowledge and power drove him to push beyond what he was capable of handling. I saw the path he was on and I was unable to stop him. The result was catastrophe. Rish and the council sentenced him to banishment for all of time. When he was sentenced I said nothing. I watched him be punished and I did not act. will answer any question that you ask. I need your word regardless of what I tell you that my secrets will remain my own. Swear it by the ancient gods.

"She is gone," Jeffery said. "Fled from this world."

[Vapor she/her]

"Gone? What do you mean?" Vapor asks.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"When she was cornered by the hunters," Jeffery explained, "she fled. To a different world, most likely."

[Vapor she/her]

"How?" Vapor asked, confused.

“I swear this by my name, spirit, and the Ancient Gods.” Fadran says. “...What is it that you need, Nathrangking?”

Vale drags the hunters to their feet. "Get out of here. You didn't see anything."

"Yeah, yes sir. We didn't see anything."

"You bet you won't. If you say anything I'll find you later"

"Yes sir" They run off into the forest.

Vale turns to Vapor and Jeffrey. "Do we need to look for her? The point was to get you three to safety."

"I think she was fine, she just wanted to come." Vapor says. "I think we should get going, because we have no way of finding her."

[Nathrangking he/him]

Just now, Channelknight Fadran said:

“I swear this by my name, spirit, and the Ancient Gods.” Fadran says. “...What is it that you need, Nathrangking?”

Mentally I sigh. I feel the surge of energy created by the oath and I know that he is bound. "More than anything now I need to not be allowed to dwell on my new found mortality. A time will soon come when we will be at a crossroads. That day is not today. I can sense that you have many questions. Ask and I will answer you as best I am able."

"Well, hopefully that doesn't come back to bite us." Vale creates the reality model, like he did in Shadesmar. "It'd be hard to find her again. I can't see her passage out of here." He dismisses it. "All right, next portal hop before something else comes out to eat us."

Vale forms another portal and motions into it. "After you"

[Vapor she/her]

Vapor walks through the portal.

[Negative_Null They/Them]

On the other side is a very different world. It doesn't seem to obey normal laws of physics. There is no light source but you can still see the walls of the room we dropped into. There are boxes on the ground but also on the ceiling and walls. The boxes are stacked on top of each other in ways that should be impossible even with some kind of Lashing. The door is on the floor based on your current perspective. On closer inspection, the walls are made of a grained surface that looks like paneled wood, but feels like steel.

[Vapor she/her]

Vapor looks around, touching the boxes hesitantly.

Xino, I'm going to assume Jeffrey hops through

Vale comes through the portal. "Oh yeah, I forgot this place is a bit weird. Gravity is based on flat surface area instead of mass. Gets kind of funky when you go downtown to their skyscrapers. On the plus side, nothing should try and kill us here, and it's just one more jump to Prime's Realm. Knock on wood, or at least what passes for wood here."

Vale walks down to the corner of the room and steps onto the wall. It acts similarly to as if he was Lashed in that direction. "Take a sec to get used to it, it's rather disorienting" 

[Vapor she/her]

Vapor walks over to the wall and steps on it, stumbling. "Whoa."

[Negative_Null They/Them]

Vale holds out a hand to steady her. "Careful. Like I said, a bit crazy."

[Vapor she/her]

She smiles. "Yeah, it is. Where is this place, exactly?"

[Negative_Null They/Them]

"It's called Tenua. I use it a fair amount because it's a good place to store things, since they can build in such strange ways, which reminds me that I need to pick up some ammo for our Marine friend. As for where it is, that's a simple question that could be answered in a few different ways. It's on the very edges of the Earth quantum, but it's very far from the Cosmere"

[Vapor she/her]

"The multiverse is so big," Vapor says. "It makes me feel so small."
