xinoehp512 he/him Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 "Farewell," said Kemos, ending the communication and switching to the Last Breath. In a few quick words, he described the time and place of meeting, as well as the terms of the planned deal. "Will you be able to make it in person?" asked Melanie after he had finished speaking. "Hopefully," responded Kemos. "Depends on whether or not Brezon is willing to take me..." "He can't refuse," said Melanie hopefully. "Not with how important this is." "Sure," said Kemos, "but that doesn't mean he'll be happy about it..." Quote You want to skip to the meeting?
xinoehp512 he/him Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 It was midnight in T'Telir. A time for dealings in the dark, indeed. The Awakened statues seemed more menacing than ever in the half-moonlight. All too easy to imagine one coming to life and cutting you in half before you even had a chance to respond... But that was unlikely. Unless one knew the key phrase, the statues were just that: statues. Far more dangerous were the figures lurking at their feet, waiting. - Kemos gasped as the phantom frigidity of the Void was replaced by the warmth of the tropical atmosphere. It was partially a gasp of relief. He didn't think he'd ever quite get used to long-distance shadow travel. And to think, the true masters could travel between universes. Besides him, Brezon snorted. Kemos sighed internally. More than likely, Brezon would grow into one of those masters. Which was fine. Kemos was perfectly happy with his position as leader of the Ashborn. Besides, they couldn't all be prodigies. His sour thoughts were cut short by someone calling his name. He turned to see Melanie hurrying towards him with a smile on her face. "Kemos!" she said. "You managed to convince Brezon, I see." Brezon snorted again. "He should not need me," he said in a voice full of irritation. "He is sect leader. Should he not be capable of shadow-travel?" Melanie looked like she was about to say something, but her response was cut short by Psydr, leader of the Myrkaal. "Cease the chatter," he said authoritatively. "The Curse of Death comes." @Enter a username

He was almost invisible at midnight, with his black clothing and black mask, and that served him just fine. He didn't care how diverse the clothing was in T'Telir, he was sure that his clothing would be noticed. "And so we meet." Edited October 19, 2020 by Enter a username Grammar
xinoehp512 he/him Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 "Indeed," said Melanie, shooting a scowl at Psydr before he could cut in. Kemos smiled at that - he didn't like the man's overbearing attitude either. Melanie continued. "We have an offer I think you'll find... intriguing." She gestured to one of her colleagues, who pulled out a cube about a centimeter in each dimension. It was colored a metallic black, and radiated destructive energy.
Enter a username Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 "And what would that offer be?" He somehow felt... gravitated to the cube.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 "This cube," said Melanie simply. "And- should the arrangement prove profitable- many more to follow."
Enter a username Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 He nodded. "But surely you want something in return for that cube."
xinoehp512 he/him Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 "We have reason to believe we will need some of your... particular skills." said Melanie. "The cube is, in part, payment. However... we hope that it can be more than just a transaction." She took the cube from her assistant and began to roll it around in her hand. "Our leader knows the value of building bridges. Two armies can do a lot more than one, after all..."

"From what we understand, you are de facto experts in universe demolition," explained Melanie. "There happens to be a certain universe we are in need of destroying- or, at least, heavily damaging." She smiled, tossing the blightstone cube into the air and catching it deftly. "And there are plenty of applications for your weaponry, even on smaller scales."
