    And with this, we're on track for another D1 Wiz exe. Wait, you can make PMs? EDIT: Nevermind, only at night. Let's hope Wiz isn't exe'd day one after all, because I think this'll be interesting...

    Bookwyrm's Mind Bookwyrm flinched as a beam of evil energy spikes through his mind. Strangely, it did no damage, probably because of Bookwyrm's defenses. But it did clear away the darkness. What? That's not Lark...who...? He resolved to find out later and poured waves of energy into the darkness, shoving them back. With the small amount of energy Lark had given him and the strange burst of energy from the other being, he was able to shove the tendrils into the recesses of his mind and gain control of himself again. Island on a Distant World: Flower field Bookwyrm snapped awake, shoving the other two out of his mind. He jumped up and summoned his sword, pointing the tip at The Shrai. "Who are you, and what do you want?" he demanded. @UnfortunatelyNamed

    Avi fell. As the wyvern had collapsed off the side of the cliff, she'd lost her grip and plummeted. She felt the energy in her veins fading. Yes, it was still incredibly powerful, but...whatever gift her Starmother had given her was close to gone. She spared a glance at the falling wyvern. Then, concentrating the last of her energy, begged for one last burst of power. Up became down for a split second. Avi was launched into the air, shielded from whiplash by magic she barely understood. She managed to clear the peak of the mountain again, and arced over the heads of the other Acolytes. She managed to land without hurting herself, pulling into a roll and standing up at the end. She put on a breif smile as she looked around. I hope...I hope it's over now. Then the glow in her eyes faded, and she collapsed. @Frustration @NerdyAarakocra @PyroPhile @The Wandering Wizard @Tani

    This is kind of how physics says time really is. More like a spacial dimension, such as length, width, or height. The entire thing will be laid out as one "eternal now." We talked about this same article in my seminary class. I guess the curriculum tells all the seminary teachers to mention the article. But there was nothing mentioned about the cult part... My dad is actually my seminary teacher, which is nice.

    "I mean, I run a business," Alyxa said. "This is where that business is headquartered." Alyxa raised an eyebrow. "It's kind of obvious, isn't it?" She gestured to her black, star speckled skin. "Yeah, I don't conform to the general cultural norms, but that doesn't mean I'm not Xefic." She leaned forward. "You clearly don't seem to follow those norms either, so I am very curious to hear why." @Mystic Syn

    Bookwyrm's Mind Bookwyrm grabbed onto the lifeline, and let the light give him some stability. I think they're remnants from when I tried to save Insa, he said. But something about these flowers...activated them. And I'm only going to be able to function again if I clear them away, at least temporarily.

    Bookwyrm's Mind Bookwyrm shoved a burst of mental light and energy into the swirling darkness. It parted temporarily, only to re-form and keep flowing as the darkness continued to swirl. Scud, Bookwyrm thought. I'm going to need a lot of- A tendril of darkness lashed at Bookwyrm, striking his soul. He suddenly perceived the artificial emotions that had overwhelmed his mind, and gasped as intense guilt flooded through his very being. You couldn't save her. She's gone because of you. The false emotions faded in the light, but a sense of Bookwyrm's own guilt lingered. He shoved it down. I'm here to save her. He channeled that determination and flooded his mind with it. The darkness retreated. Just slightly, but it moved. Okay, he thought. Let's see if I can do it again.

    With energy flooding through her veins, and a connection to a goddess of the stars, Avi could feel the horrible rending of space and time around her in a way that could only come from her ancestry. She screamed as the wave washed over her. It took both an instant and an eternity. Space and time around her were ripped to shreds. She desperately called upon her Starmother, and somehow, somehow, the squeezing of reality lessened around her because of her magic. Thank you, she thought. Of course, my daughter. But there is still challenge ahead of you yet. Ast'Avi stood up, determined, and called on a power she didn't realize she had. Stars...the keep their worlds close. Warm. Safe. But by what power? The same power that keeps us falling towards the ground. The same power that holds our worlds together. And if I can access that... For a split second, down became the direction of the Wyvern. And down also became many times stronger than normal. Avi was launched into the air. She flew in an arch as the normal downward direction of this plane reasserted itself, but it was enough. She drew her dagger, and a crystalline sword of glittering solid Starlight formed around it. She drew close to the wyvern, grabbed onto it's side, and slashed a huge gash in it's wing.

    Island on a Distant World Bookwyrm lay there, unconscious and unresponsive.

    Island on a Distant World Bookwyrm walked through the bed of flowers, looking for anything interesting. Something was off about the flowers, though. They looked...vaguely familiar, in shape, at least. He plucked one and studied it. This is...it's a Silent Princess. From that one version of Hyrule...but the color is wrong. Indeed, the deep purple and black petals seemed wrong on the delicate flower, and it's shape was...twisted, somehow. Bookwyrm leaned over and picked up another flower, which he recognized as a Marewill. From Scadrial. This world obviously had connections, or at least interdimensional travellers had visited it in the past. Which was obvious. The Marewill flower was also purple, though, and there was also something wrong about it. Kaos, he realized. Suddenly, the tendrils in his mind erupted, reacting to the twisted flowers. The darkness overpowered him. Bookwyrm cried out as his vision darkened, and he collapsed onto the soft bed of flowers. Bookwyrm's Mind Darkness swirled around him, shrouding reasoning and memory. He pulled into himself and gathered his consciousness and power. A mental image appeared to him; he stood alone on an island of light in the center of his mind, surrounded by swirling darkness. His sense of self was okay...the darkness could not get close enough to him to corrupt his soul. But the rest of his mind was shrouded. Well, he thought to himself, wishing that he still had some control over his body. Now what?
  24. The Bookwyrm
    Yeah. That was a very different thread back then. After the basement plot, much has changed...

    That same sister is plowing through Reckoners now, and she really wants to read stormlight. I'll give her WoK once a certain @InfiniteInsanity finishes it and returns my copy...
