<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Immediately cancels the spell and the door dissipates into thin air*

I can't even believe I did that. I just tried to keep my mind clear and open a random doorway. I wonder if I could get back to my world with this...

*I paused for a moment to think with a hand to my chin before looking up to the sky again*

Nope! That's a bad idea. If the Darkness did indeed take my world, I'd be unleashing a horror on this world that none of us are prepared to face.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Or at least wait until we're about to leave before you do that.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Fair enough, I just wanted to know what it took to do it. There's not a lot of ways to test that besides doing it for real.

*I continue to fillet the rabbit and get all the meat that I could from its small body*

You've got the pot boiling water?

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Sure, I’ve got it. Now we just need the familiar and the spirit to show up again.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

It's been a while since I've made travelers stew. Best with wild ingredients, but can be made with stuff from the market.

*I set aside the meat while waiting for Lily and Noct to return*

So... You've been traveling for a while I assume, what's the most amazing thing you've seen so far?

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Chuckles*
Now that isn’t a fair question. I might have to give that award to an incredible floating city, surrounded by water falling toward the planet, evaporating into mist before it hit the ground.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

That sounds incredible! To think that I could visit a place like that in my lifetime! What was it like being there?

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

The food was great. The prisons, not so much.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

You and Lily got arrested?

*I look back at Gio*

What did you two do?

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

That time? We went into a sacred temple and stepped into some kind of forbidden circle. It didn't seem all that special at the time.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Yikes, sounds like a fun time. What other stories do you have? Oh- Of course, that is if you don't mind me asking or unless you had similar questions towards me.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Crosses my legs*
I've never been much of a storyteller... We fought a small fire elemental dragon a few days ago. With the help of some other party members, we created a huge vacuum around the dragon and snuffed it out without ever engaging in combat.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*I picked up a stick and waved it around as I thought about Gio said.*

Dragons huh? In world they're were near extinction. Did they talk? I mean... Were they intelligent?

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Shrugs*
We killed it before I could ask.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*I then held the stick in both my hands*

Huh... Too bad, would've been nice to know a little more about dragons. Even if they're from another world. Oh that reminds me, what was your world like? Are you and Lily from the same world?

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Our world was... Well, to answer the second question, we're both from the same world, in a sense. There, we had both a physical and spirit realm, full of greater and lesser spirits that aim to become superior spirits. Lesser spirits like Lily have to possess someone with a huge reservoir of mana to complete that evolution. Someone like a hero.
*Adds some tea leaves to a large cup and places it on the fire and starts polishing my gun*
I have an unusually small capacity for mana. To compensate, I learned when I was young how to channel magic through catalysts, like this metal. Channeling isn't all that uncommon, but it can make a mage appear to have much more mana than they actually do. Lily, being an airhead, didn't bother checking my actual mana levels and possessed me. When I ran out of mana, she couldn't use me as a host anymore and we've been stuck like this ever since.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Interesting, you will be a fun appetizer.

Have you learned nothing?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Interesting. I didn't know Lily needed someone like that. But it seems like it doesn't bother her much.

*Chuckles*

Wait, is that why you got mana poisoning when Lily possessed you? I'm still not quite sure how to make sense of it. I've never heard of such a thing in my world.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

I got magic poisoning because she presumably used magic while I was out of commission and mana drained. In our world, magic is a destructive force. Mana protects casters from the magic ravaging their bodies. When a caster is out of mana, then bad things happen.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

So you don’t have things like Mana-sharing? In my world, mana was an energy source that determined whether an individual can use magic. When one is out of mana it’s more like running out of battery. The only thing that becomes harmful is a sudden surge of magical energy. Which is why I wear my seal.

*I point towards my blindfold*
