<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*After much walking, the hollow skull housing eclipse becomes the most prominent feature of the horizon*

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Pauses only momentarily, shaking my head at the sight as I continue toward it*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Stays wary of any further change in my surroundings, of any threats or such making themselves apparent*

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*The skull emits an aura of safety and security, but not absent of its accompanying suspicion—inside is an opened floor-bound hatch full of a thick inky blackness twinkling with faint refractions of light*

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*My voice emits from one side of you and then the other with each sentence as the scenery rolls along the wind of my breath like a detailed vapor*
She's hidden her true nature from you. A monster who's consumed as much of her own kind as she has mine. I can offer a means to put the heavenly one to a deeper slumber that she cannot.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Right. And the reason I am to believe I’m not being manipulated by the namesake “Mind Dragon” would be what exactly?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Is anyone down there?
*Waits momentarily for a response*

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*No sound emerges but the glooping of the liquid, but you catch glimpses of Eclipse and myself in the glimmers of its surface*

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I can reveal truth and sow division, but I cannot lie. Your companion is far more wicked than I.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Hello?
*Looks around momentarily, picking up a small twig and poking the strange liquid with it*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Why can’t you lie? Why should I believe that?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

That question is an endless spiral in pursuit of truth. I can see her entire history, and her tortured life caught between her people and the creatures she despises.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*The liquid overreacts to the touch, bouncing back and forth like a gel*
...
*Looks toward you, my feet pointing toward the surface, and waves*

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Raises an eyebrow as I slowly wave at you in confusion*

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*One word of my voice echoes out of the pool*
Deep.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Huh?
*Points at myself and then points at you*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

I know as much.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Stares at you with a questioning look, barely visible amidst the refraction*

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

You can see what she wants you to see. Your position is very different than my own.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

*Waves back, the word “fear” bouncing against “safe”*
