Nope. Never Have I Ever made a fire using two sticks.

Nope. Finished a six hundred page book in less than 24 hours.

Nope. The person below me is a 4th degree black belt in judo.

Nope. Never Have I Ever made a fire using two sticks.

Rish sensed the intruder, but she ignores him. She detects the slightest hint of mime drifting through the air. It vanishes short of her as if hitting a hidden wall. Inwardly she sighs, but outwardly her face is stoic. "Let us begin." Obscuring and muffling fog rolls in. The whole landscape vanishes beneath an unnatural cloak. In the distance thunder booms. Winds start to blow gently. A wave of cold fills the land. "This mindscape as well as too many others were breached by the forces of chaos. Evil was allowed to enter this place. If the mindscapes are destroyed the powers of the ancient gods will be broken and with it the protection of all beings. Reach out with your powers and observe the breaches in this realm. Feel how they shudder and grow wider. Feel how power leaks away and immortals weaken. The realm will resist you and fight back. It will not want to change. Fight against it with all of your might. It will try and stop you any way that it can. Force it to heal. Chase away the rot and infection. Make whole again that which is broken." Rish sends away the guards standing at the mindscape breaches. @Negative_Null Circestran closes her arms around Fox. She breathes a warm whisper. "I can see your doubt. This will be a battle to be fought, but not alone. When you are alone fall you fall into darkness. When you are together with others hands will be there to help you up. You only lose when you stop fighting. You are a survivor Fox. This I know for Nath finds us survivors." She smiles slightly even though Fox cannot see it. "That you try is all that is needed. The past guides us Fox, but it does not control us unless we allow it to do so. Nath and I will not abandon you. We are something that cannot be taken away. We reside in your heart, mind, and soul. No one can wholly remove us. Even if we disappear Fox you will carry us with you always."

Shanayim could also play off of the hebrew word Shnayim which means two. That could reference their propensity to the one on one style of fighting. Nex-im could be be nes or perhaps nisa- the word for traveling. @Necessary Eagle

Correct. The person below me likes salmon.

You mean you were serious? Three teaspoons stormlight and a pinch of white sand

I prefer inside actually. The person below me is an anglophile.

Rish rises from the ground as though her body has no substance. "I am Rishmvaeta, wielder of the power of mindscapes." She bows low. "All power has a price. Yours has been unlocked. The potential that was dormant is now awake. You can be the right hand of justice to defeat the forces that have released chaos on the realms. Will you join me in restoring order?" Circestran's voice softly wafts around Fox. The whisper contains a warmth which creates an aura which dispels all cold. "I won't lie to you Fox, there is no magic which can do this. Even with all of my power I cannot make this happen. However, you need not do this alone. Nath and I can help you. Together we can overcome. You must look past the hatred. See it for the illusion that it is. It lies to you Fox. Look at what it has told you. Is any of it true? Together Fox. Together." She opens her arms as her tear drops to the ground.

Nothing lasts forever. What is the worst thing to say when you accidentally open an inter-dimensional portal in your living room?

Nah. The person below me only uses apple products.

I had not, but I will now. Edit: It was impressive as always @Shard of Thought

Tomorrow is another day. Besides memes are an acceptable form of payment.

@Shard of Thought

It would be meme city. It is interesting that from the beginning Lezian is being portrayed as a hot headed egoist. His downfall will likely be his inability to admit that he can lose. I would not be surprised if Leshwi double crosses him and leads him to be imprisoned in a gemstone or what have you. Lift has got to take him out with her shardfork first.

The air goes still and in the distance the slightest whisper flies. A moment later all returns to the way it was. In a flash the shears are gone. "Now you can begin to grow. Your mortality held you back. No more. We shall commence." A steel box forms around Rish. Her voice echoes across the landscape. "Let's try something simple." The box sinks into the earth and disappears. "Reach within and find the kernel of power that you hold. Reach out to the box and reshape the earth around it. The mindscape will resist you. It will tell you that you cannot change it. It will resist you in any way that it knows how. Fight against it. Don't give into to it." The singular tear continues to fall down Circestran's face. Her voice comes out as barely more than a whisper. "Do you think that self- hatred will convince me? IF anything I believe that we were right now more than ever. You call yourself disgusting, but I don't think that this is so. Why do you punish yourself then? If it is so then you would have no need to prove it to me or anyone else. You would live it. Try as you might the only thing that you have proven is that you want to avoid the possibility that you will be rejected. You fear the possibility of love because it can be lost. You think that no one can and ever will care for you. You fear that you are not what people expect and therefore they will reject you. Do you think that you are alone in this? I ran toward battle for many reasons. The main one was that I wished to prove that I deserved to be hated and thrown away. It was not so. Nath showed me that. No matter what I did he loved me. He did not abandon me. Tell me this. Did he reject you? You hurt him. Did he fight back? Did he kill you? Why would he allow you to do so?" She fades and reappears before Fox. "Let me tell you why. He loves you Fox. He so badly wanted you to be well that he allowed you take out your rage on him. He so cared for you that he wanted to hurt so that you would not. No matter how many times I tried to kill him he came back and let me escape. You hurt because you fear to be hurt. Accept that you can be loved because you already have been."

I don't think that is so. The Syl interlude shows team Radiant in Urithiru with Kal there.

As I noted in my comment I hope so!!!

Yes!!! Urithiru is about to be attacked dear me. The sibling is coming to the forefront!! Raboniel vs Jasnah rap battle begin!!! Leshwi, you might be open to reason after all hmm... Moash you trouble maker be silent! Stoneward Fused are in the building!! Fractures in the ranks indeed. Leshwi you are devious will you turn to team Radiant? So much fascinating Singer politicking!! How will they get Dalinar and Jasnah away? Is the pillar the sibling's gem heart? Nearly a deadeye hmm... If you experiment on it Raboniel how exactly do you think that it will help you? Navani it is time for you to bond the sibling! I have spoken!! Mad scientist with a super bug, how appropriate. New information about the fused rebirth cycle!! The pursuer is a loose cannon. Zahel please end him. They did attack Urithiru in the past year interesting!! Venli meet Lift!!!

Rish's voice rises and falls as a gentle breeze in the dying moments before twilight. "Physically you will be untouched. These shears will sever all realities that could hold back your potential. Death clings to all mortals. Only in moving beyond this can true strength begin to grow." Circestran gazes at Fox piercing her soul with ancient discerning vision. "You are running Fox. From what do you flee? Is it from the pain that you caused my husband, a being who cares for you more than you are willing to admit? Is it from a lack of knowledge of who you are? Does that scare you? Perhaps the truth is this Fox, you have spent so long without love and hope that you are pushing away those who would give it to you. It is easier to live in a prison of your own making than to face your demons. Maybe this is why you are fleeing so quickly. Tell me why Fox? Why do you think that answers will come by running and attacking those who seemingly mean you no harm? Answer me Fox." A tear slides down her face. Her voice cracks. "Show me that he was not wrong. Show me that I am not wrong."

It is an excellent film. Julie Andrews' voice was spectacular!!

Fish, fish, fishes?
