Rish nods slowly. "I do. I can reveal what you have forgotten. However, this is a burden that once you take back you will have to bear alone. Your powers will remain so long as you remain distant from what was and what could be. You severed yourself from all other realities to gain this power. If you seek to return to way things were you will be unable to save us all." A sphere appears in the air. All that once was was copied to this reality should you desire to have what you gave up. It is here." Take it if you wish, but be warned that there can be no going back."

Racer Sunset overtakes a nameless horseman rushing upon the wind; behind him five others pursue his destruction. To the ends of earth would they follow him, through fire and ice would they venture. His horse is a black streak of lightning against the rising twilight, but he cannot forever outrun them.

I sigh while the tears fall. A smile forces its way onto my face. "Fox....." I force myself to take a deep breath. My body steadies itself. The twinges of pain go ignored. "Fox that is all that I want for you. For as long as I have existed there have only been a few with whom I felt a connection. So few have I truly loved that when I lost the love of my long life. I thought that I was lost. Then you came along and I remembered how. You truly are the closest thing to a child that I have ever had." Hot tears pour forth. "I consider you to be a daughter even though in truth we have known each other for the blink of an eye. If you truly are well then all is well. If this demon is different then may it keep you as safe as I hope to." I look over to where Fox had looked, but see nothing. Circestran continues to cry.

I take Fox's good hand. When she responds distantly I can't help, but push down nerves that I had not even realized that had built up. I want all to be well for her and yet I fear there is a long way to go before we are there. Together we make our way into the med-bay. I let go of Fox's hand when I reach a bed. I gingerly sit and then lay back in the bed. A smile finds it's way to my face as I watch devour her food as though she has not a care in the world. When she finished I allowed myself to sit up slightly. A twinge of discomfort touches my eyes, but never settles on my face. I sigh. "Fox. I... Well... I... Blighted Bronze." The curse slides from my lips. I shake my head and take a deep breath. "Fox, you likely have so many question. I'm tired of my secrets. Ask what you will. I will hold nothing back from you. I have only one question. Are you alright? You remembered what happened and that cannot be easy. If the demons are back Fox...." I trail off unable to continue the tears return. Circestran stands beside Fox tears pouring from her eyes as well. @Mist

The figures lift off of the ground as a wave of raw power slams into them. Cracks rapidly spread through their forms. They let out a final cry and in an explosion of energy they are shattered. A surge of something which cannot be defined races outward from where they had been. Everything in the mindscape seems to gain greater definition. Rot and mold fade away as richness drives them out. Broken beauty to restored to its former glory. All breaches leap to connect to its neighbor. The walls surrounding the mindscape become as they once were imposing and impregnable. Battlements cursed with the most horrific seals climb for eternity. Foundations thicken and descend into the endless abyss. Spiritual wounds heal and deny any entrance from below. Shadows melt away. Light floods the realm filling the dark spaces. Above the moon glows ever brighter. Calm settles over the wood. Any trace of the fires that had burned vanish. Smoke is a dream. Rish smiles genuine joy reflecting outward. "You have healed this realm and taken the first step to true power." She frowns as she sees Vapor's wounds. In the blink of an eye she appears beside Vapor. She mutters a few words. "That should heal your injuries. You have done well this day. All worlds have found in you a restorer of balance. You should be proud of yourself." She pauses for a moment. "I name you equal to mine own children for what you have done. I cannot raise you to divinity. However, I shall personally petition my grandparents Sorcery and Magics to make it so. Furthermore, should you wish it this realm can be your home. All places within this mindscape are yours to explore. Welcome home."

I have indeed and yes I do. The person below me is a man/woman of letters.

Next up: "Everybody step in time." @DramaQueen and only drama queen please.

Congrats!! As someone who has had questions answered live before I can confirm the coolness factor!!

I reach into the bond that connects myself to Fadran. "Fadran, can you have some food brought down to the med bay for Fox? Fox and I need some time to talk in private." @Channelknight Fadran

Alas, I am not that good at chess. Has met a scholar.

I am not that talented. Can read and write a foreign language.

I hold the hug for a moment longer before gently, gingerly, and reluctantly I release Fox from my embrace and straighten up as all of the soreness returns in full. I turn partially toward Ember. "Ember, can you help me to this med-bay that T mentioned?" I turn back toward T. "Lead the way." I hold out my hand to Fox. "We have much to discuss." The tears have slowed, but not gone. Circestran releases Fox as well, but she does not move from her side. She places a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Her left eye is still damp with tears. @Mist

The shadows let out screeching howls. As if they are being stung by a legion of invisible hornets they leap off of Vapor and begin to flee. Gouts of flame burst from their bodies. The landscape glows as violent fires burn. Heat scorches the land the skies are seemingly ignited. They turn back suddenly and race toward her still howling. I look up at T without separating from Fox. "That may be wise." "Perhaps we should find someplace to talk Fox." @Scarletfox

Tears continue to fall from my right eye. I gently remove Ember's arm and lean forward. I allow my love and warmth flow through as I gently take Fox into my embrace. I allow the slight breeze that carried my voice to her to end. Silently I embrace her. I speak no words and simply allow my presence to say what I know she needs. Circestran removes her hand from Fox's shoulder and wraps her in an embrace of her own. @Channelknight Fadran @Mist

The kickstarter poster arrived yesterday and it is as awesome as expected!!!!!!!!!

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."

No. The person below me is a lvl 99 miner.

No. The person beneath me has played Runescape.

It was a mistake. The person below me knows the location of the well of the souls.

The golden figure grins wolfishly. "She is feisty Fox." He takes a step forward blades of light glowing before faltering a step. The two floating figures tear at her face drawing blood before being pushed away. Harate grabs onto Vapor with vicious strength and remains anchored in place. Her grip tightens and she punches vapor in the face. The others stumble, but then roar. The ground seems to shake. "You are weak. Pathetic child. You thought that you were strong. You are a naive fool. We will relish your agony. We hate you." They speak as one. 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."

I look into Fox's eyes clarity chasing away my pain. I reach out weakly and wipe away her tears. "What are you crying about? I'm fine. As for you, I go for five minutes and you find more trouble. Whatever am I to do." A smile rises to my lips. The slightest gust takes my words to her ears alone. "Why is it that those whom I love always get themselves into trouble?" I project calm as best that I can. "What is this I hear about you talking to air."A note of concern enter my voice. "Have your demons returned?" Circestran stands in silence. a tear runs down her face. Kindness and Spin lash out violently. An invisible force shoves her forward. "You started without me." A pouting figure emerges from the shadows. "How could you forget me?" "T, we will all get a turn." Someone grabs Vapor from behind and hauls her back. "Come and kiss Jek." A voice whispers in her ear and twirls her around. Vapor is torn from Jek's grasp by strong calloused hands. "Don't forget about old Herate!" A harsh blow is delivered to Vapor's chest.

"Cant you recognize us? We are your friends." The two miniature floating figures lunge at Vapor's face. "I'm spin" says one as it goes for her eyes. "Don't you remember Kindness?" singsongs the one aiming for her nose. "I'm Queen and that is Fadran the bore." A figure wearing a hat jumps forward followed by another wielding a blade. "I'm Ember" says one swinging a sword of flames. Two hold back. A woman in a hoodie and a figure of golden light.

Clod is not your average lifeless though because he was returned prior to being transformed.

Vasher you and Hoid need to have a debate over cosmere stuff. Wayne, Nightblood, and the Stormfather will moderate!!
