  1. Exp steps from the realm of Shadows and appears next to Eddie. "As you were saying, I believe you wanted to go?"
  2. Before Exp can reply, Eddie has hopped onto a tiger which has, in turn, hopped into a hole. Wonderful.
  3. Exp looks to Eddie, confused at all the new people who had appeared. "Should we leave?" @Edema Rue
  4. The lightning triggers a memory in Exp's past. Or...in one of his pasts. It wasn't a memory that he wished to relive. He didn't have much choice. Exp was encased in a wall of Shadow, thick enough to repel anyone trying to touch him. And a vision unfolded that only he could see. ... His name was Experiment. Or well, it had been, long ago. He was...in some sort of desert. Golden sand lau out before him in all directions. Below him in the sand lay an owl, clearly dead. Experiment was chanting, though Exp wasn't actually saying the words. He was just watching the scene unfold through his past self's eyes. The quiet voice stopped speaking and shadows began to form in the sky above, laden with water. Exp new what would happen, though it still surprised him when no water fell. Instead, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and hit the owl in the chest. After the brightness faded, so has the vision. ... Exp shook his head, the case of Shadow now gone. Why had he been shown that vision? What did it have to do with anything? Was Experiment trying to tell him something, or had it simply been triggered by the lightning?
  5. Wait is this different than the other one?
  6. Oh, did it say Sig gave it to Hoid? Or is that just a theory?
  7. Exp wonders how everyone is doing what they are doing in complete darkness.
  8. Exp begins to chant, and all light begins to disappear in the cavern, making it impossible to see. The light continues to flow into Exp, the shadows so dark you can almost feel them.
  9. 1) But...how so quickly? Like...I assume they don't have fleets and fleets of ships full of shades. How would they just find him with some sort of tracking beacon? 2) So assuming someone got ahold of Hoid, the could use his spike to find the dawnshard? Can you make a spike from someone without killing them? 3) So do we assume that whoever Sig passed the Dawnshard to still has it, as the night brigade would probably be chasing that person if they had passed it? Unless they just have no idea who it is. Or if that person is much more powerful than Sig.
  10. Exp considers doing something inhumane, but remembers why he was there in the first place. No point in sacrificing the sacrificers. Not yet at least. The moment lighting forms, Exp shifts into Shadow and glides towards Eddie. By the time a figure forms near Rallohir, Exp has formed back to physicality.
  11. Exp slices the air, leaving a shadowy break hanging in front of him. He steps through into a world of darkness, slashes again, and is standing behind Rallohir.
  12. I assume they are trying to locate the current holder of the dawnshard to use as a weapon? I guess there are two questions I have about them. 1) How are they able to locate Sig? Did they already get a spike from the previous holder of the dawnshard? Or is there some other way they could be finding him? 2) When it mentioned the spike leading them to the dawnshard, would it lead them straight to the dawnshard, or just whoever Sig gave it to? If it lead them straight to it, could they also use say, Hoid, to make a spike? Or does it go in a line from holder to holder?
  13. *Exp glances back at Eddie and notes that she is taking a test.* *He rolls his eyes* Wonderful timing. Exp turns back, changing is style of existing, ready to defend against the silly cultists.
  14. *Exp rolls his eyes at the silly safricisiaries* *He then summons a blade dark as night, almost as flat as a shadow against the floor* *Exp smiles*
  15. *keeps running* *arrives in a place that is away from sacraficiaries(?)* *uneats Eddie* *turns around to face his persuer*
  16. So we know the Night Brigade is currently chasing Sig cuz the dawnshards he held at some point. Does that mean it's likely the Night Bridage that we've seen here and there looking for Hoid (for example in the purelake) as well? Or at least an early version of the organization?
  17. Well that was a storming good book.
  18. *runs into room* *eats eddie* "Now you can't sacrifice her!" *runs out of room*
  19. Storms.

    The Sunlit Man is So. Storming. Good.

    I had been having some trouble getting back into the cosmere. But storms.

    Honestly has to be one of my favorite novels by Sando. 

    Can't say more cuz spoilers. But storms.

      Spoilers to I think ch. 39

      Skybreaker? What!?

       

  20. I don't want to stop living.

    I just want all the pain to go away.

    I guess that's not how life works, though.

    Does that mean getting rid of the pain is worth not living?

    Of course not. I just want to be happy and whole again. 

    Not like my old self, as I am a new person. But happy as my old self, enough to outweigh the pain.

    But then...what has changed? Why can't I just...be happier? Why can't I just do the things that won't bring the pain? Why do I have to be so broken?

    So broken that everyone leaves. Too scared to make new friends, because they'll just leave. Like everyone else. 

    Why can't I just be the me I want? The happy me, the painless me, the friendfull me. 

    Maybe because someone else has a different plan? Dare I say a better plan? But if that were so, how could all the pain be better? How could it possibly be worth it.

    Whatever it is.

    Unless.

    Unless...all the pain, the tears, the goodbyes...everything...is the doorway to real Joy with those few who are still here. Joy amidst the pain. 

    Is that even possible? Can there possibly be light at the end of this tunnel? Or am I doomed to walk alone forever in the dark?

    But...then what about all the other tunnels? They've all had light at the end. Wouldn't that mean this one must have light too? 

    It's just...so...hard. All the weight. The pressure. The responsibility. I don't know if I can keep going. Or if I even want to. 

    I guess it comes down to why I even exist. I have heard that there are two theories. Either I came to being out of nothing. 

    Or I was created by someone, with a purpose.

    So...if I was created with a purpose, what could it possibly be? To keep walking, even though I can't see the light ahead? Even though all I feel are the stones cutting my feet? Even though I feel I am all alone?

    Or maybe...maybe it's to find others in the tunnel...lost souls like me. Give them some light for a time, and then say goodbye...for now. 

    So maybe I need to listen to his voice. Maybe I should just...think celestial. Maybe I'm blind, and I should stop looking through a dirty window. Maybe I should let him be my eyes. 

    Maybe I should stop stepping in the thorns, and instead stay on the path. 

    Maybe then the pain won't all go away...but...maybe... I can at least be happy again.

      *adds even more hugs*

      I’m sorry your feeling this way at the moment. And even though it may seem that all you can feel is pain, know that so many people care about you, including us on the Shard.

      They say that the king bears the weight of his kingdom on his shoulders. If that's true the greater the weight, the greater the kingdom, and I can think of no one more worthy for such a kingdom than you XP.
