Let's go find a dragon

Exodus traced some final guiding etchings into his sprawling art piece, then placed his hand in the center of the shining lines. Their glow traveled across the lines towards his hands, creating a small, blinding ball of light where his hand touched the grass.

"Run!" he yelled, "Get as far away as you can!"

Minuet took off, dashing away from Xeus as fast as she could.

Orpheus stood in silence and tears formed in the corner of his eye.

"He's... dead."

"Nono." Val took a step back, shaking her head. "No."

Ara didn’t need to be told twice, though she felt like a coward for it, she ran, holding her skirts up to avoid catching them on the twigs and leaves underfoot.

As soon as they were out of reach of the attack, Exodus let go of the ball of light, and for about five long seconds the entire world became, simply, soft white light.

It slowly dissipated, and in a large circle around Exodus, all the orcs stood, unmoving. Not because of respect, or any other thing of men, but because they could not. Their hands were shielding their eyes and their bodies were scrambling away from where Exodus now stood—and they remained absolutely frozen.

Exodus turned back to Ara and Minuet and spread out his arms. "How's that?"

Orpheus stood in silence and tears formed in the corner of his eye.

"He's... dead."

Tears formed in Cara’s eyes and silently slid down her cheeks as she stared wordlessly at Ni’s body. 
 

He can’t be gone. He was too young. Far too young. Why did this have to happen? Nothing was wrong with him until he abruptly grew sick. 

Cara sniffled. “No…” she whispered softly.

"Impressive. But no time to celebrate - let's get moving."

"He what?"

The ghosts howled around a bit, but after seeing that everyone preferred to stay at the door they got back inside, saying something about people disturbing their work.

Sef frowned. Something was weird with this boy. It was as if, even after his death, a part of his Ideal Aspect stayed intact. Curious.

"I... Probably should inspect the body for what killed him." Said Sef. "What was the boy's name?" 

Meanwhile, Gal sat and said nothing. He preferred not to try talking to tge grieving people - death definitely was a tragedy, but he was never good with understanding emotions.

Sorry for not responding lately. I might be a little more active in the near future.

“Ni” Cara croaked.

Exodus turned to one of the orcs and plucked a ten-foot battle axe from its hands. He felt drained, but alright. He probably could've handled that little trick better if he had Alaxis with him.

"Well then, we ought to get moving again."

Thoughts on a timeskip soon?

Timeskip sounds great - but wasn't there someone heading toward us?

I’m fine with a time skip. There are a few things Ara wants to do on the trip, but we could montage forward a few days.

Did you want to catch up with us yet? Or soon?

Sure. Now.

A ribbon of flame zipped up behind them, collected itself, and coalesced into a person.

"Uh, hello there?" called Exodus. "You... didn't run all the way from the others, did you?"

[Quivil]

"I didn't run, no."

"Ah, wonderful. Why are you here? Are they in trouble?"

[Quivil]

"Are you going after the prophecy?"

Exodus nodded. "As are they, though we're a bit faster at it. At that tower, the call to adventure falls on deaf ears."

[Quivil]

"There was an orange demon who came looking for a purple demon."

"...are they okay?"

[Quivil]

"... I think so?"

"... I think so?"

"Well, that's good," said Exodus, "Any reason in particular you followed after us? Perhaps the grand lure of adventure, of venturing into the unknown and salvaging what is left of reality? Or any other reason?"

[Quivil]

"Just because."

[Knight of Iron she/they]

"...I see. Well, what of your abilities? Your skills? Any good in a fight?" Exodus asked, a bit impatiently.

[Quivil]

"Why do you need to know?"
