[color=gray][quote=Mayonaka]"But wait...!" Mayonaka questioned "Isn't that a big weird? Why would someone make a device you can only power with something that there can only be one of in a world? And how did he manage to get here without the chroniko-thing-ama-jig? I touched a little stone i think and got wisked here! So i didn't need a chronik-ul-thingy! And what if we teleport to a world where the vanishing stone was already used? Then only one of us will get to stay at their home world and we all have to stay in it too! And what if- Nap time...!"[/quote][/color] Elurra smiled warmly, charmed by the little mage. [color=lightgreen]"So many questions! I will answer as simply as I can. The Vanishing Stones and the Chroniker were created together by a wizard called Rook. All of the stones are linked only to the Chroniker, like the spokes of a wheel with the device at its center. Therefore, when you touch a Vanishing Stone you are transported to the location of the Chroniker. But if you were to touch a Vanishing Stone that is already located in the same world as the Chroniker -- the stone in the mountain outside, for example,"[/color] she gestured to the door, [color=lightgreen]"nothing will happen. In order to leave [i]this[/i] world, the stone must be used in unison with the Chroniker, which will take you to another stone in another world. The Vanishing Stone that you leave behind may still be touched by anyone who wishes to follow you -- whether they be friend or foe."[/color] This was another caution regarding the use of the Chroniker in order to escape danger: anyone who picks up the stone will follow the Chroniker wherever it had gone.
