[IC] Myriad Reality

Hmm. Probably not one of those but bigger, then. Sounds like an Old One. Those tend to be like that, and are relatively common in different universes. But one that only works on dragons? That's rarer.

@Codify

Seems like you have a grasp on it. Something vaguely similar if nothing else, with the right concepts.
*Shrugs*
My worldly experiences are very, very limited. Haven’t been out and about long, so I’ll take your word for it.

We're visiting the heart and taking it out. I've mapped out the most direct route.

@Nimda

What makes it the heart?

@Valiance

Its soul resides there. As for why that destination in particular is the heart of the beast, I have no idea.

@Nimda

And it’s the only place for certain? No soul division shenanigans to be concerned about?

@Valiance

For certain? Do you have some way to check?

@Nimda

I would say no. Matters of detecting and attacking a soul are not in my skillset. It's a pretty niche field.

@Valiance

Believe it or not, that’s not mine either. Especially without the souls I had collected.

I can say that they're tough for normies to take out, but usually that's because they'd be affected too. If it's just dragons being affected, then it's not a huge deal. I'd still rather that they talk it out though.

*Rubs the back of my head*
I kinda burned my bridge with the one guy I know with that capability too…

What did you do, exactly?

@Codify

Anything’s possible. I doubt they’re going to surrender the element of surprise they have. But Roland isn’t the type to forgo negotiations if the adversary shows a willingness to cooperate… Well, most of the time.

You were there. Remember the guy who… Who tried to help my brother?

It was. Unfortunately.

@Valiance

I knew someone with that skill at one point too, but everyone I knew turned out to be good-for-nothing traitors.
*Glances at you*
And my enemy a helpful ally. There “fate” goes again.

@Nimda

A much more relatable experience to me than you might think.

Hmm... That's something, at least.

I’ve noticed surprisingly many.

@Codify

We'll just see how things play out. We're not heartless, though. We just understand the risks.
