Through the Living Wrath

Drin was… it’s been a while since I thought of him. The soldier laughed. “Do you even understand the words you are uttering?”

He hesitated. “Mirth? Who is that? Some mystical fourth spirit?” He shook his head. ”Another delusional.” Oh… one thing. They don’t know I exist. Actually, this is all a byproduct of my death.

That’s hardly fair! The man groaned. “Great. Another delusional. Probably straight from Madness.” He unslung a large rifle from his back. He sighed. “A delusional, and a fanfirl. Look, Intellect is dead. There’s no denying it, no stopping it. Turn back - only death lies ahead.”

Ok!

Um if its too much of a hassle, don’t.

Oh no! While on the road, they were accosted by a company of militiamen! ”State your business in the Dead Lands!” @Spark of Hope @Argenti

I was more asking who was available, honestly.

@Argenti I believe I need a party! A Donner party!

… The University?

Nah. I’m to proud for that.

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.
