The Bookwyrm

"Remember when people thought Narrators and Authors were the same thing?" Somepeople said.

Bookwyrm watched as Thaidakar snaked into the green sky, vanishing into an unknown distance. Try though he might, his power over gravity didn't seem to work as strongly here. Well, sparks. Looks like all that was for nothing, then. He dismissed his sword and looked around. Pic, Lundyn, Elan, and Aventine drifted in the void. He opened his mouth to call to them, but then the hovercraft appeared. He let himself slowly drift towards the yellow craft. @Cash67 @Spark of Hope @shortcake @Ancient Elantrian

Bookwyrm felt the lurch in his stomach, the pull of that strange void. He started to fall. Determination overcame him. He angled himself in the air, flew towards the door. I'm sorry, Insa, he sent telepathically. I have to leave. But I promise, I'll come back soon. Stay safe. Don't forget how important you are. Then he crossed into the void. I'm coming, Thaidakar. @InfiniteInsanity

Wow.

No problem.

Bookwyrm landed behind Thaidakar as he knelt in front of the door. He'd never seen it before, but there was something familiar about it's design. He stood there for a moment, the sword at his side. He didn't dismiss it, but did relax his grip on it. "Thaid."

@InfiniteInsanity @TheGreatSnail @shortcake @Kajsa @Thaidakar the Ghostblood @The Wandering Wizard @Medium Who else...let's just ping some active people. @Weaver of Lies @Silver Phantom @Wierdo @WhyEverNot_8 @Anguished_One Oh, and the nerd who hasn't accepted her identity yet: @Edema Rue And also @Experience @Wittles @Cash67 We'll call that good for now.

Bookwyrm quickly slowed down to avoid crashing. Then he slashed at the wall, many times in quick succession, before sending a burst of energy through it, causing it to collapse. I need a plan, he thought. There's nothing I can say that will get him to listen to me. But I have no idea where he's going, or what he's going to do.

Bookwyrm allowed the future to flash in front of his eyes. He saw the paths of each spike and darted through them, slashing any that got too close. "You're right," he called as he flew after Thaidakar. "I..." he trailed off. What is anything I can say going to do? He kept flying after Thaidakar, but stayed silent. I can't help him, can I?

Bookwyrm gritted his teeth and maneuvered his sword between him and Thaidakar, using it to pry himself out of his grasp. He barely payed attention to the scenery that had arisen around them. "You're hiding from something, Thaid. That much is obvious." Bookwyrm took a step towards Thaidakar. "Let us help you."

Bookwyrm quickly jumped to his feet. He started to glow with blue and white light. He dashed out of the room and ran after Thaidakar. He switched the direction forward to down, and started to fall. Bookwyrm soared down the hallway after his friend. As he fell, a thin sword made of blue metal, with a small disk of glass embedded where the hilt met the blade. It glowed with a soft light. He sent another message towards Thaidakar's mind. What made you so disillusioned? You were once one of the most resolute men I knew. Please. I want to help.
