    Xino continued. "Once it starts, we won't be able to talk- I can't really veil sound. I mean, in theory it doesn't matter, because we can't change anything, but it's usually a good idea not to tempt fate. So, no talking. Fortunately, I can send messages to you through the lenses, but unfortunately you won't be able to send anything back to me. Can you handle that?"

    "We're not going to convince her," Xino said, amused. "If she won't come with us willingly, we'll knock her out and drag her back. But I hope that won't be necessary."

    Xino raised the veil of invisibility over himself, Star, and the portal as soon as he stepped through. Having to look through the red tinted lenses was slightly disorienting, but unfortunately unavoidable. Hopefully it wouldn't bother Star too much. "They haven't arrived yet," he said quietly. "For now, we can talk freely." ----- Pheonix opened his eyes. Silence was behind him, he could feel it. Just as he had been yesterday. Or the day before yesterday. Or any day, as far back as Pheonix could count. The man- if you could call him that- would be standing there, silent. Watching him. Judging him. Putting pressure on him, he supposed. Making him wait. Because eventually- Hello, Pheonix, said Silence. Pheonix moved his hand in a circle, slowly. The sign for 'hello'. I trust you are comfortable? Pheonix shrugged. You have food, water? A bed? Pheonix could take care of those himself, and Silence knew it. So he said nothing. Silence waited a moment more. Do you... need anything? Freedom, signed Pheonix. Silence sighed. You know I can't let you have that now, he said. Not until I know I can trust you. Trust him not leave. Not to run off, go back to Star. Silence was right, he couldn't be trusted not to do that. Still... Home, he signed, pleadingly. This is your home. No. It is. No. Oh? Where do you think it is, then? A pause. Star. Silence sighed, and turned away. She will leave you, he said. Your life will be much easier if you accept that now. Then he vanished.

    Fourteen years ago, you were snatched from your family to fulfill a prophecy in a distant land. Now the prophecy has been completed, and you are being returned. What do you do?

    No opinion.
  10. xinoehp512
    Should we decide on who we're including first?

    Xino nodded. "Wise. I was right to trust you." With a wave of his hand, he conjured two more of the red lenses. He put them over his eyes and stepped through the portal.

    Xino nodded. "She should be through that portal- although she won't be there for a few minutes, so we have time to go over some important things first." He took a deep breath, pulling himself to his feet. "First, our primary goal is to retrieve Shadow before Silence gets to her. Either by taking her back through the portal, or- if things go south- finding a different way back. Remember to focus on that." He began to pace. "Second, wear these at all times." He held out his left hand, and two red crystalline discs dropped into his hand. "They will let you see while we are invisible." "Finally," he said, turning towards her with a serious expression on his face, "you cannot change the past, no matter how hard you try. So don't try."

    "He's too inquisitive. Too smart. He'd figure out how they work, make something that copied it. He'd mean well, but..."
  16. xinoehp512
    Xino nodded. "Good." A shadow passed over his face for a brief moment. "Don't tell anyone I can create those portals, okay? Especially not Tom."
  17. xinoehp512
    Xino breathed in and out, slowly calming himself down. As he did so, he turned his head to look at Star. "Can you keep a secret?" he asked.

    Xino let out one final groan and released a bolt of light from each weapon. The beams met in midair a few feet away. An explosion of light washed over the pair, nearly blinding them, as a portal edged with red crystal swirled out of nothingness. Xino fell to his knees, panting. "One... moment..."
  19. xinoehp512
    Xino gritted his teeth, forcing out the words as his weapons glowed even brighter. "Not. Looking. Better. Idea." He seemed to be glowing now, too, resonating with his weapons. How much longer could he hold out? Long enough.
  20. xinoehp512
    Xino grunted, deep in concentration. "Silence. Barriers. Doesn't like Shadow... I don't know why. Hid her, probably. Unless..." His weapons glow had intensified to the point where they hurt to look at. They illuminated the landscape far enough to see just how desolate it was.

    "Fuse? No, I don't think so. Their paths have diverged too far." He summoned his shield, the flash of red light it released lighting up the dark landscape for a brief moment. "Hurt? Not much that can hurt a Narrator." He raised his sword and closed his eyes, concentrating. "We cannot completely rule it out, however. That makes it even more imperative that we find her." His sword and shield both began to glow, each letting off a dim red light.

    "It would," said Xino as the gateway behind him sputtered shut inf flashes of red crystal. "Nothing," he said, half to himself. "Nothing at all. And," he continued, with a sigh, "no traces of Shadow."
  23. xinoehp512
    "The battleground," he called as he disappeared into the flames. "Where reality split. The last place I saw Shadow."

    "Of course! Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to work with my duplicate." Tom was already pulling out tools and setting them on nearby surfaces, and expression of barely contained excitement on his face. "Right, Tom?" "Uh, yeah. Of course." Tom was still staring the direction Heather had gone, his expression unreadable. He shook his head as if to clear it. "So, where exactly should we start?" Tom began to launch into a long explanation of his idea, punctuated ever so often by a flash of light as he had the simulator display some object or other in the air. "That's our cue to leave," said Xino, summoning his sword in a flash of flames and dragging it through the air. The sword left a streaming line of fire behind it as it tore reality, forming a gateway to... somewhere else. He stepped halfway through, then turned to look at Star. "You coming?"
