Ah, the perfect chance to escape. Everyone was distracted. She looked at Fadran and Queen. Fox pointed at them, then pointed at herself, and then pointed with both of her thumbs behind her, signifying that they should leave. She sighed, and closed her eyes. How would they leave.... how would they get out of this pickle....

How had Nath gotten to her? Didn't he say something about using the bond? Could she use that ingot of warmth to get to Nath? She opened her eyes, nobody was really paying much attention to her, it would probably be ok.... Winter seemed to not want to kill her, so nobody would get her while she tuned them out... 

Fox closed her eyes again, letting the world around her to fade away once more. She had been drained from what she had tried before, could she do it again? She dismissed the fatigue, it would be fine. Fox focused on that ingot of light once more, imagining herself seeing Nath talking to the others, how she wanted to hear what he was saying, how betrayed she had felt that he had not let her into the discussion. How Fox had wanted to be closer to him, to listen. She focused on those desires, to return to Nath, to hear his encouraging words. I need to get back to him, Fox told herself. 

Yes, step through that door, escape from this desolation. 'Go back... go back... go back.....' Fox absent-mindedly muttered as she focused on returning to Nath.

"Why does everybody take advantage of chaos!? (oh wait..)" Winter shouted, appearing behind Fox, reaching into her mind.

"Sorry, but you can't leave."

He appeared in her mind, formless, extracting the ingot that Nath had installed in her mentality.

What's this?--his voice in her head.

The ingot was carelessly ripped from her mind, pulled away, stolen.

I apologize--although, not really. I can't have you leaving, now can I?

Vale breathes in sharply. "Who fell?"

"Chryslyn is no longer with us. Reordar must have been attacked." He turns to her. "I hope you understand my stance."

Hmm..  

Jared closed his eyes and felt.

At first touch, there was nothing behind him but slightly scorched air and rubble. Strange. Even an illusion would have some semblance of existence.

A quick check verfied that it wasn't a sensory illusion. So... if it wasn't in his mind, but he couldn't detect it in reality, that left only one possibility. Silence, he thought. Or a semblance of it, at least. 

Jared opened his eyes. So Winter was using trying to use Silence against him, was he? Very well. He hadn't spent all that time dueling his brothers for nothing, after all. It was time to do something dangerous.

As calmly as he could manage, he drew the power of Silence into himself. Light warped around him as his colors inverted, wisps of stygian crimson rising from his eyes.

With the extra power flowing through him, he could see with ease his 'attacker'. Not Winter, surprisingly- something that appeared as a young girl. Whatever it was, it used Silence in a way he'd never seen before- variable existence, somehow? 

Nice try, he said as the color in his blade deepened and darkened. With a blurring motion, he caught the girl by the arm in a supernaturally powerful grip. Whatever it was, it would pretty simple to get rid of- the entity was already half nonexistent. Obviously Winter wasn't a powerful enough Narrator to even create a proper character.

Carefully but with resolve he began to pour Silence into her, counteracting the threads of reality that Winter was supplying one by one.

"An alliance?" said Jeffery nervously. "Does that include the mimes?"

She nods. Her amethyst eyes remain fixed on his. "We will not demand resources that are needed to defend this realm. I shall marshal what aid I can from the council as soon as I may to help you in your fight. In fact there seems to be one outside of your immediate sphere of influence who may be able to aid me." Rish turns her head so that her still gaze rests on Vapor. "I sense that this one has the power to aid us in our war."

Fox gasped as she felt Winter entering her brain. Ack, the darned creature, she was about to demand for him to leave her mind, but then something happened.

Fox felt the ingot of light and warmth being ripped out of her soul. From the depths of everything that was Fox, a guttural scream erupted, that would cause those miles around to freeze in pity or fear. 

Fox fell to her knees as she experienced two things. The pain and the rage and the hatred that replaced the ingot ricocheted through the Fox in a horrible agony beyond belief. She thought she had experienced emotional pain when her brother died? That was like a stubbed toe when compared to what was happening now. The scream did not stop, she could not stop it, she could not control it, it just happened. It slowed for a moment, allowing Fox to hiccup and take a desperate breath, before starting up again. Something else tortured her as well, a deeply rooted physical torment sprouting from her head, spreading to every part of her body with no relief. It was burning hot coals, but freezing as an igloo, at the same time, as if she were being burned, and frozen to death at the same time. The scream turned into coughing, and then Fox began convulsing on the ground.

Fascinatingly enough, redheads' bodies actually process pain differently than anyone else, namely that thermal pain is much more painful for them, and electrical pain is much less painful for them than other people. Fun fact of the day.

Ah, crap. Sorry, I was only able to get on for like two minutes yesterday. Pretend Queen responded sooner.

Um, I don't actually know exactly what I did. I...was in his head, went over my emotions, then released them somehow. It felt like I had too many feelings, so it was really easy to let them out. When they returned to me, they were a manageable size. I found the reason I was feeling what I was, then I was better able to set my emotions free.

Then forces all his emotions into the angel's mind.

Jared felt the entity retreat, its Silence deepening. He briefly considered following up his attack with a finishing blow, but decided against it. No reason, if she wasn't going to threaten him further. His fight was with Winter, after all.

Winter had vanished only a moment ago- it was simplicity itself to find him once more. Jared cleverly modified his spatial location to be right behind Winter, his blade through the creature's body.

Rish's face is impassive as she is interrupted by the one clearly protecting her prize. "She has in her the power of two. All mindscapes were formed by two they alone had the power and knowledge. While I have the knowledge of how to make make and unmake the very fabrics of divine essences, I have not the power alone to do so. Under my tutelage she can be the greatest force ever conceived. Her might would be limitless. While as you say dream artists as you call them are not that rare. Her raw power is unfathomable."

Prime stands up from his throne and fixes Vapor in a steady gaze.

Essentially if you cut through the flowery prose she is saying that in terms of power Vapor is one of a kind. She has the power that only two others working together had. Rish has the knowledge of how to use such power, but she is not that powerful by herself.
