Can you see past it? Can you see me? I am here for you. I will guide you, if you need it. How dare you.

Hey! Unless you’re talking about Ash. Shayd? The ughhh… the Crown.

You’re right, it is very intenstinstring, The voice noted drily My presence can protect you. Bolster your mind. Keep you aware. But I will not take away your pain. I will comfort you, but you must be the one to defy the pain.

Speaking of that… Felicity, your time has come. I am with you always.

That depends. I won’t discuss this further. If I remember correctly, the last one was the chaotic incarnation of pure destruction. Don’t worry - I am dead. But I am no longer the Flame. Ouch. @Argenti Hey! Mirth was formed from my powers. She’s actually one of my favorite mortals, because she one of the only ones who ruled because they had to, not because they could.

Hey! Wait! Talking about me behind my back!

You could. The question is whether you should. I lost my timesight upon my death, so I cannot be sure of the consequences.

Not exactly. You’ve… you’ve traveled through time. And reality. This is not the same timeline that led you to here.

She is conversing with Mirth. Also, good to see you didn’t die.

There was no floor. He sank, almost endlessly, into the infinite expanse that seemed to defy all logic and reality. He could not see the surface, for there was no surface. As he fell, the viscosity of the fluid increased until he was in free fall, picking up speed through the fluid, until it seemed, suddenly, that he was not falling at all. He had never been, had he? He was waist deep in a fiery river, feet touching down onto an ashen surface below him. Strangely, there was no heat coming from the fire, only the reckless feeling of breakneck need to change, a need to be something new. These were not his thoughts. As he passed through the river, he saw the lives of others flash before his eyes. These were not his thoughts. Amid the confusion, a hand reached into the river and pulled him, straining, out, onto dry land. A bright light filled his vision, and when it cleared, he was in a field adjacent a mountain. Next to him, he saw others. [Aela & Felicity]

Actually, take them all out. Don’t want any interference.

Acceptable. The Great Ambition turned away, unfettered by the resistance. The resistance was pleasing to her. There was one more for her to contact. But she would approach this one differently, as pleasers the Autonomy of the subjects of the god.

There was a pool of light and dark inside. Okay, you’re not gonna like this, but you gotta put away any fragment of the Slumber… And jump in.

“Then let me rephrase: I will be fighting you, no matter if you agree to the stakes. But I would be willing to rework them to balance this revelation.”

@Through The Living Glass THE UNIVERSE WANTED AELA TO DO SOMETHING.

This is acceptable. This endeavor failed, I resolved to instead approach another, one Endowment, with the same offer. Should they send their best warriors to, I would strengthen them, Endow them with talents beyond what they thought possible.

I am with you. @Through The Living Glass

So like They don’t have a kingdom, they don’t even have a pantheon. Some of them aren’t even sapient. But im also being overly critical so I back off now. *cough* sorry

… See Are you talking Eldritch like how Cthulhu is eldritch?

Hmm Outsider note Eldritch/Old Ones are often not aware of humans in general… So consent may be hard to come by.
