NameIess

Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway Nameless laughed, and a burst of mirth came through the bond, followed by stress, a touch of anger, and all the rest of his emotions as he stopped masking the bond. "If you think people can't come back from the dead, you're in for a shock when I tell you about my past." @Aes Sedai

612b. In the case that you do live past the end of your series, it may be better to die before the second series begins.

Klave grabbed his hand. "You don't want to touch that. It might out eat you."

Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway Nameless looks at Calano. "Well of course he's right there. He came back to life. And Wizard as well, although he did it differently." He shrugged, face calm.

Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway Nameless jumped, then shot Rue a glare and spoke normally. "Of course not. We fought the chickens a while ago. They tried to take over the clinic twice. The first time, they killed Wizard, and Emma used the Nethergrim's power to defeat them. The second, they had a guy called Lark's help. He got ahold of the Clinic treaty and put himself in control, then made a deal with the chickens to kill Calano, Emma, and the others who would have challenged him. They killed Calano, and would've stolen Emma's power and killed her, but I managed to save her." Nameless clenched his fists, visibly furious. "I hate them. Those monsters have tried to take everything from me time and again, and one of these days they'll succeed. Unl-" Nameless cut off, breathing deeply and forcibly adopting calm. Throughout his explanation, and in fact throughout his entire conversation with Joe, not a hint of emotion passed through the bond. @Aes Sedai

Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway "Of course. They attacked the clinic, killed Calano, captured Emma. They're all evil."

Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway Nameless glanced over at Rue, lowering his voice to keep her from hearing. "The chickens, of course."

Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway "Oh, really?" Nameless raised an eyebrow. "You sure you're not with... them?"

"You want to kill... rocks? Whatever. As long as you don't kill any of my friends, I don't really care."

"What do you do if something too powerful for you to kill comes through?"

"But they're the only things that come through? I'd expect to see a much wider variety of creatures in this junkyard, considering all the magic residue in this place."

Klave looked at Fadran sharply. “Wait. Kleevers just appear here? They’re drawn in like the rest of us were?”

"I'm afraid I don't have the time. I have to plan out my plots."

Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway "I understand. Stay strong, Calano." Nameless sighed, standing up. Storms. What am I supposed to do? Not even the Dragon Reborn could solve this mess. Well, maybe he could. Kaos seems a lot like the Dark One. Leaving Calano with Insa, Nameless walked over to Joe. "So, where exactly did you come from? And what are your goals?" @Shining Silhouette

Klave snorted. "I doubt it. They don't appear to have any predators here, and unless I'm very wrong about their natural place in the food chain they'll reproduce like rabbits. Maybe faster, since there's magic involved. Unless we kill all of them, their population will regrow faster than you'd think possible. I've seen it before."

Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway Nameless set Calano down next to the others. "Are you okay? We need to be ready to move, and maybe fight. I don't know what Emma's doing, but I'm sure it's not good." @CalanoCorvus

Ravelast "Of course. No random stranger I've met has ever turned out to be an evil person intent on killing my friends. I'm sure that's impossible." There's definitely something strange about this guy. @Shining Silhouette

Ravelast "So, you want to come with us? Feel free to. Just don't try to kill anyone or eat our power or anything like that." Nameless stepped through the gateway, entering the camp. @InfiniteInsanity @Shining Silhouette

Ravelast Nameless nodded through the gateway. "That's where we're going. Back to camp. As soon as they wake up, we'll get out of here." He hesitated, uncertain. "I don't know where we'll go. The clinic might not be safe anymore, if Emma's turned." "What do you mean how is that possible? It's just a name." Nameless' voice had a hint of defensiveness. "A totally normal, not-at-all strange name." @InfiniteInsanity

Ravelast "Right." Nameless picked Calano up with weaves of air and moved to step through the gateway. he froze when he saw Joe. Something about that guy feels... off. "Hello stranger. I'm Nameless. Good to meet you. Rue, Insa, you guys coming?" @InfiniteInsanity @Aes Sedai @Shining Silhouette

Yeah, I see your point. I will say that we haven't seen too much steel compounding yet, and no one's seemed to be pushing the limits of what it can do, so it's possible that Brandon just hasn't spent too much time thinking about the limiting factors.

"Oh, of course. Watching all of his terrible deeds will be quite fun. I might even lend him my newest creation."

"Am I wrong? Surely his story will be better if you let some other character step up to stop him."

Ravelast Nameless took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. "You're right. We should get back to camp, get ready to retreat." Another gateway split the air, leading back to the camp. "Calano's fine physically. Insa, are you hurt?" @InfiniteInsanity @Aes Sedai

Ravelast "I don't think so. We couldn't even break that barrier while Emma was asleep. How are we supposed to do anything now that she's awake?" @Aes Sedai
