"I wouldn't know. I'm not a spren."

 

"Alright.  Here goes!"  Kindness's misty blue form vanishes.

Quote

I'mma throw a space time distortion in here as well and bring in a character I've been working on.

As Kindness disappears, a sort of rip opens in the air towards the back wall of the kitchen, and a young man falls through it, rolling away from the rip with practiced ease.

"Where - " He clears his throat, looks around.  His face is half hidden by long, tangled red hair.  "Where am I?"

"A boat. Who're you?"

The young man coughs harshly, rubbing a hand down his face.  "That's rich."  He laughs bitterly.  "I'm IceEyes.  And..."  He slams his fist into the floor, hissing at the contact.  "No.  NO.  No, Martin, I'm Martin.  IceEyes is dead."  He looks up towards the young man and woman at the other end of the room, pushing his hair back so he can see.  Stupid.  Can't see right.  So stupid.  He glances around, taking in his surroundings.  "I'm Martin."  He says firmly.  Trying to force it to stick in his head.  "And you?"

"Umm... Fadran."

Okay.  Martin forces himself to breathe.  He's got a name.  He's got a location.  He's trained, he can... no.  Don't think about it.  "Fadran.  You don't know who I am?"  Here's his opening.  He can do this.  Just lie through it.

"I... don't. That's correct."

"Okay."  Martin lets himself close his eyes for a brief second.  His eyes hurt so much.  "Where are you going?"

"We're going to someone's base to collect a sword."

"A base, huh?"  Martin feels the tiniest bit of a smile force itself into being.  He gets to his feet.  "Then I'm coming with you."  He knows there's iron in his words, he was always good at that.

"Oookay, then."

"I'm sorry, that was rude.  Reese always said I was bad at this.  She was right, of course."  Martin holds out his hand to shake, holding his sleeve down firmly with his other hand.  "Is it alright if I come with you?"

"No problem." Fadran shook his hand. "So... who are you, exactly?"

Nath cups her chin and tilts her head. His eyes meet hers. Love and concern flow as best that they can. "Fox, what's wrong? Please let me help you. Do not fight alone. Let me bear part of your burden." A tear flows down his right cheek.

Circestran takes heavy steps toward Fox and Nath, a tear slides down her left cheek. She places a hand on Fox's shoulder. "You are not alone.  Remember who rules. Don't bear your burden alone."

Fox opened her mouth to speak, Nath looked so... concerned. He seemed to actually value Fox's wellbeing, so she would tell him. "I..." But when she opened her mouth and began to speak, the shame doubled over inside her. She couldn't bring herself to ask it. No. No, she would be strong enough. But she was so confused, what if Nath had been the... no. No, Fox would not go down that path again. She would simply have to trust Nath. Lifting her eyes back to Nath's, Fox asked quickly and quietly, "Why did I try to kill myself?" The shame turned to rage at herself for a moment, and she felt herself gripping the knife tightly.

Vapor struggles, but Herate is too strong. "Let me go!" She kicks her foot back and reaches into her mind again, pushing out with all the power she can control.  She focuses the power on the ones closest to her, concentrating it on person by person.

Quote

Vapor won't win on raw power alone. Remember control is key. Showing that she is strong is crucial. She must take control.

An invisible wave crashes into the figures of shadow. They stumble. Instead of fear in their eyes there is only raw and unadulterated wrath. As one they race toward Vapor. Herate who only grunted when Vapor's blow landed. She pushes Vapor into the crush of shadows. Blows rain down around her as the sky is blocked out. 

Rish watches powerlessly as Vapor is showered with blows.

I see first shame and then anger appear on her face as she whispers a dangerous question. No alarm comes to my face as I see her grip the knife which had nearly destroyed us both. "Love. You were faced with an impossible choice. You were ordered to take that knife and kill me. If you did not another would." Another tear runs down my right cheek. "I begged you to do it so that you would not be subject to harm. I told you that if this is what you had to do then you should do it." Love and warmth still merely fledglings flow from me. "No one should ever have to choose to kill. Instead of killing me you said that you were sorry and turned the knife on yourself. It was not because you were weak that you did so. It is because your love was so strong Fox that you could not kill me. You chose love Fox. That is strength, even if in the process you almost cost the cosmos something so valuable."

"It... It was strength?" Fox whispered incredulously, silent tears finding their way down her face. "I... but then... I..."

Martin does not panic at the idea of explaining who he is.  He doesn't.  

Really.

"I'm Martin, Europe-Pan Asia special ops, YTP branch.  I get the feeling that doesn't mean anything here."

"Eurenpan Agea? Uh... yeah. Doesn't mean much here. You were in the military or something?"

"Europe-Pan Asia.  And yes, you could say that.  I... worked with them, yes.  I don't suppose you've seen my partner?  Young lady, about five feet tall, black hair?  Strangely terrifying?  She's got our orders and knows why we're here.  Or... well, if this is where we were supposed to end up that is."

You wouldn't happen to be referring to Herate, would you?

"Well."  Martin lays that particular hope to rest.  Reese will be fine, she can handle herself.

Nope, he's talking about Reese.
