<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Not really no. At least they shouldn't have anyway, but gods being what we are, it becomes easy to forget that it was all a game.

<Snipped quote by Source>

It's all that was ever needed.
*Smashes a fist through the ice and into you*

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Sounds kind of like a dystopia to me.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Shrugs*

Perhaps. Although Thivlir would disagree. Then again, they never did see mortals as "real". They were more like constructs in xe's eyes.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

In the same sense as a golem or something similar?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Indeed. A pawn playing its part in a much greater game.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

They just have such short lives.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

They do. Anyway, enough about my world. We have this one before us to explore do we not?

*Trudges off over a small hill*

Come along! Let's go see what's out there!

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*Hovers behind you and Gio*
I hope we get to fight some kind of monster!

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Eager for a fight I take it?

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*Snorts*
Eager to watch me take a beating again.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Cocks an eyebrow*

Does her magic lack potency? I would think a caster who can create a spell for traveling between worlds could also muster a greater defense.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Lily is a lesser spirit, meaning she lacks mana and can’t use magic without tapping into the existing magic of a host.
*Puts my hands behind my head*
As fate would have it, she’s bound to me, so I’m that host.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Ah, I see.

*Pauses for a moment*

You know I'm sure there's a joke to be made there or something, but I'll leave it be.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Like the leach one! I thought that one was funny.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Casts a glance at Gio before turning back to you, an innocent smile crossing my face*

Oh? I don't recall hearing that one.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

I’d call her a leech, but you can actually squeeze your blood back out of a leech, eat them in a pinch, and they don’t let monsters break your bones for a skill up.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Chuckles*

I see. On a more serious note however, I wouldn't exactly look at the trials you face as negatively as you do. They are terrible and life-threatening sure, but they also serve to cut you into shape. Harden your will for greater challenges yet to come, not to mention earn you rewards you wouldn't get for free.

Easy to say for spirit-realmers.
*Tosses a small ball bearing in the air and catches it*
‘Course, I wouldn’t be an adventurer if I actually hated the quests.
