  1. Tom shook his head, worried. "As much as I would like to say yes... I doubt it."
  2. It seemed to be in distress, however. Narwhals weren't supposed to be outside of the water, after all.
  3. Tom paled. "Uh-oh. That's not good..."
  4. Stick, on a flight of fancy, had briefly transformed himself.
  5. So does the brain of a good portion of the SE crowd. Stick had just crashed into a tree. He was currently cresting the hill where the log cabin resided.
  6. All of a sudden, there was a loud crash outside the cabin. Xinoehp frowned and went up to the window to try an ascertain the cause.
  7. Tom's eyes widened briefly. "Shadow went out of the protective barrier?"
  8. The last of the spiders were lurking close by. They had been defeated this time, but next time... Meanwhile, Xinoehp was living a relaxed life in the cabin.
  9. That's not how my name is spelled... They called it the spider cabin.
  10. "Me and my double will build the machine. You guys, on the Prime side, your job is to find Pheonix. Everyone else- Narrate. We need to generate as much Narrativium as possible."
  11. Tom shrugged. "Pretty much. Only we won't cross over- they will."
  12. Tom chewed on his lip, a thoughtful look on his face. "Well..." "An infusion of Narration, first of all, so he doesn't dissipate as soon as he appears." Tom nodded absently. "Right, right, that first. After that... probably something to get it started, a sort of 'reality scissors' to disconnect him." "But we're not trying to cut him off from the rest of the universe- that's the whole point." "Around the whole group, I mean- no, wait, that wouldn't work. Hmm." "I think we should build a bridge, first of all. One that will work for things without thread opposition. Then we just pop him through." "A bridge like that could take months to build- do we have that kind of time? You have to keep enough Narrativium to anchor Pheonix, remember." "It should go faster with both of us working on it, right?" Tom hesitated. "That's true," he said slowly. "Does your simulator have a fabricator, too?" "What do you expect?" Tom smiled. "Great minds think alike, eh?"
  13. Tom shrugged. "We're the ones who are getting torn from where we're supposed to be."
  14. Tom paused. "It shouldn't, no. If anything, it will hurt them."
  15. Tom nodded. "Yes." "He belongs in this universe, see," explained Tom, "but has been 'rooted' in that one, so to speak. What we need to do is uproot him." "If we time it right, we should be able to come with him; the universe will be so torn up it won't even notice us. So to speak."
  16. Narrator Xinoehp looked up with a gleam in his eye. Very briefly, he smiled. We can't even assume the universes will ever come back together. So...
  17. "Thread opposition," Tom explained. "Characters with analogues in both universes can't cross. Usually." "Because that includes all three of us- even Ember- we would be stuck here if there were no other option." "Luckily," finished Tom, "that's not the case. And it all has to do with Pheonix."
  18. Tom grinned at his twin. "Looks like it worked." Tom nodded. "That was clever. Hooking it up to the simulator like that." Tom nodded in agreement. "I knew I couldn't bring you over, not really-" "-that makes sense -- thread opposition-" "-exactly. I couldn't even build the portal on my own, either. But now that I have help-" "-of course! But what about the opposition?" The Tom's stared at each other for a moment, then spoke in chorus. "Pheonix."
  19. "Did it work?" asked Draug with interest. Draug shrugged. "You probably don't, not here. No one will see, unless they already have magic- Sha-thoexis will blind them."
  20. The Key flashed and began to hum as it connected to its twin. The Key flashed and began to hum as it connected to its twin. The humming got louder and louder as the Key began to increase in luminosity. The humming got louder and louder as the Key began to increase in luminosity. All of a sudden, a loud crack split the air as a beam of light leapt between the Key and the box on the stern. All of a sudden, a loud crack split the air as a beam of light leapt between the Key and the box on the stern. Three figures appeared in a flash of light. Three figures appeared in a flash of light.
  21. Draug nodded in sympathy as Evelyn told her tale. All the same... What would it be like? he wondered. To share the truth with whoever you wanted? It was a luxury he would never know. Go too far, and his bond with Sae would break, leaving him at the mercy of Sha-thoexis. But it was a sacrifice he made willingly. Suddenly, something Evelyn had said sparked something in his memory. "Wait a minute. Silvery skin?"
  22. Tom nodded. "Proceed."
