If I go and force open a path for you two... that's only going to work once. You need to go with her or you'll be stuck here until you wake up.

@Legend Begins

Then go wake me up when you're out. She wants to kill you, and if she does it more quickly than you expect then we're all stuck.

Seems like a good call.

@Valiance

I need to try something.
*Black scales coat my hands and arms, and I hover just above the river's bed, digging my hand into the soft metal, which creeps up the armor much more slowly than it did the mountain's rocks*

@Stratocracy

Just her?
*Flings the sign at your neck, sharpened to a deadly edge*

<Snipped quote by Sp00ki>

Siblings too? Are they around here?

@Webmaster

"No... Most of them didn't survive... The rest died later on... The only one left is my sister, but... I wouldn't know where she is..."

@Sp00ki

She's not back home?

<Snipped quote by Sp00ki>

She's not back home?

@Webmaster

"...Home? None of us really had a 'home' but... After our last brother died... She just disappeared... I hope every day that she's alright..."

@Etcetera

*The sign crunches and bends as it hits my neck like a solid wall, bouncing off and falling to the ground ringing*
I guess so, because there was no meaning behind that attack.

@Sp00ki

Okay, well where do you live?

@Stratocracy

*Scowls and digs into the ground like butter, from which erupts a wide field of obsidian spikes that impale you from several angles*

@Etcetera

*Disappears behind the wall of spikes, only to emerge from them by walking through them toward you, warping the stone and bursting through it as it shatters in resistance to my movement*
Cold, unfeeling stone.

@Webmaster

"Well, when we were still a family, we had to constantly move from place to place, so... I don't really know..."

@Stratocracy

*As they shatter, the fault lines spread into the ground below you, which collapses into a pit full of spikes of hardened, bleached bone*

@Sp00ki

Aren't you a mysterious one? Where to now?

@Etcetera

*Falls onto my back, slamming through the bone and crumbling it to fragments around me, and I get up slowly- casually, and unfettered, while looking back up to you*

@Artifact

*Watches silently*

@Stratocracy

*Waves with both hands as the pit itself shatters into an aimless void*

@Etcetera

*Falls for only the slightest fraction of a moment before you feel a tug on the transparent force that’s seemingly attached itself to you, and in an instant, I close the gap and am in your face- Though very distinctly with my arms at my sides, and in no position or stance to attack*

[Artifact]

*Watches silently*

@Valiance

They do resist each other. Good to know.
*My pupils constrict momentarily and backflips up and out of the gilded river by instinct, while the gold I was standing near liquifies and starts running again*
That may have made it angry.
