The Anarchist obliged reluctantly, still wanting to just run off and bring down an empire.

Kindness presses her hand against the gemheart.  "Do I need to say anything?"

Sorry it's taking me so long to stay on top of this, I'm reading Oathbringer.

Vapor walked back to the group reluctantly and placed her hand alongside Kindness's.

Enjoy! Oathbringer, that is. 

T placed her hand on the gemheart. She stopped pushing back on the heavy feeling and let it in.

All of a sudden, a rush of power surged through each person like a wave of electricity. Like a light turning on, the mind of the island opened; a vast web of silver lines that stretched out from the stone like blood vessels from a heart. Each plant, each animal, each person- all was connected.

Including them.

[Hello,] said the island kindly inside their minds. [I am Tazeroth. What brings you here?]

 

[Gears]

Oh nothing, the Anarchist thought. I just took a quick detour on my way to the continent.

[Vapor she/her]

"We were going to find a woman who saw my parents die to prove that Jared is evil." Vapor said. "Oops. Did I have to say that out loud?"

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

I'm traveling with my friends, Kindness thinks to the island.

[Mist she/her]

I'm here for adventure and experience, thought T.

[Vapor she/her]

And I'm going to take down an empire!

I assume your character is still with the group?

What's going on now?

The main group is still on a quest to find the woman, but they were caught by Zeras and Sophia trespassing on Stormbound land, so they’re taken to an outpost for questioning. T (Mist’s character) and The Anarchist (Gears’ character) join the party as they make their way through the island, which is sentient and called Tazeroth. Currently, the island is questioning each of them. 

Rekaerb, Ene, Truth and Abigail are in Rekaerb’s house, but Ene and Truth haven’t been active on this thread for a while. They teleported there from the Alleys.

Emi and my character are in an unknown location (possibly a different dimension. I’ve yet to decide) and their story is running concurrently but separately to the main plot. My character is the woman they’re trying to find, but she’s lost her memories and Emi is trying to help her. 

I think that’s the most up to date version. I skimmed over some stuff but I didn’t want to leave you with an essay to read.

WOW. This is my reaction when I read your parts. Always. I wish I could have that much developed vocabulary. It must be boring to read my posts when you look back at yours

Quote

Wow, thank you Emi . I think your vocabulary is already really strong, and it’ll just get stronger over time. And even still, you write so well! I’m not bored in the slightest when I read your posts.

I'm back sorry for the absence.

I mull Zeras's answer as I follow them. I ignore the anarchist and join the others when they place their hands on the gemheart. For the first time I feel a rush of consciousness. I suspect that you know more than you let on. My access to the divine realms could be cut off by very few. I would say that you are an eldritch deity if I had to guess. There are few left. Tell me how did you survive the cataclysms that claimed your kind?

Do you have any more questions?

[Mist she/her]

I mean you no harm, Tazeroth. Are we finished? 

To herself: You don't know how hard this is for me, allowing you into my head.

The island made a humming sound that conveyed amusement. [Are you with the Anarchist, then?]

[What?] says the island, puzzled. [I do not understand.]

The line of connection between them flared silver as she reached out for his mind, searching for an answer to her question.

What she draws will be from your character's own mind, so I'll leave that to you.

 

[Mist she/her]

Whatever comes, I guess. I'd love to see the world. An adventure is always better with companions.

A rush of power slams into my mind. I shrug it aside, but let the consciousness behind the power in. We appear in a chamber constructed of my boundless mind. The chamber is a throne room of gold and marble. Spices waft through the air. "You want to know what I am doing here Tazeroth? At this point it's hard to say destiny has a weird way of arranging events. You may have forgotten what you are, but you will remember!! I reach out with a tendril of power and memory latching onto her. I send her all of my memories and knowledge. Thousands of years of wisdom and memory rushes into Tazeroth.

I figure to make things interesting. Tazeroth is likely some type some kind of deity. My character is deityish. The nature of Tazeroth might make for an interesting side piece.

I am with the Anarchist for now. Jared is the man who killed my family.

I'm going to assume that Fadran is with the others, and is also getting interrogated by the island.

Excellent! At this point the island would be asking him this question:

Tazeroth blinks a small flash of surprise.

Among the people of the outpost, conversation slows as Tazeroth draws briefly upon their minds.

[Interesting,] said Tazeroth thoughtfully after this brief pause. [I see what you mean- what you think I am. But I am not that. Sorry to disappoint you.] Through their connection, she shares flashes of her memory. Her creation by a connected pair of islands. Her youth roaming the skies with asha birds. Her dealings with the Stormbound- including the time when they had saved her life from Shadow-kin, the first time she had ever formed a Connection to a human. Her eventual descent into the sea, and transition into an outpost for the Stormbound.

[There are many who call the islands deities,] spoke Tazeroth. [Including several of the islands themselves. But I am not one of them. We live, we die; in the end, we are no greater than any other creature of this world.]

But you are no lesser than any other creature, correct? Fadran thought.

No lesser indeed. Icona responded.

Fadran jumped. Icona?

Yes, I'm back. You're no longer in Ivinan's Past.

My avatar cocks an eyebrow. I thought for sure that you were a survivor of the Eldritch purges. There were stories of an Eldritch Island as you saw. The tale of a reincarnated deity keeps many searching. I never searched now though I think the stories are true. Terananeis Misornis lachire nesremnu. A wave of magic weaves around us. This spell open for a short time the threads of time.If you are what you believe then the threads will reflect this. If you are not all is well Long lived beings are honorbound to stand by one another. I pledge by my immortality my aid should you require it. The air shifts and the whole of Tazeroth's history takes shape. Time unfolds revealing areas in the distant past shrouded in shadow. Odd even years you don't remember should be revealed. I reach out toward those shadows and we are instantly transported away from the mindscape to a strange place.

I’m loving Sophia, the Anarchist, and the interaction between Salad’s girl and Emi.  

I’m retconning the man though, let’s just pretend he didn’t show up lol.
