@Audacious

*The next world is ashy and dark, entirely devoid of all light outside of a few distant stars that manage to pierce through the cloak of space dust*
Violet? Anything you can do about the light?

@Legend

*A ball of light manifests in the air not terribly far from us as a sphere of ionized gas from the air around us, any matter passing through its radius becoming excited into a plasma which glows enough to light up the area*

@Audacious

Woa—
*The world around us remains rather dim and still in the nonreflective purple-black surface of the prionized moon, which sports a single inward-bowing column stretching out to its now frozen-in-place planet in the distance*

@Audacious

*Everything within detection radius is dead and still, not even in revolution as part of a greater astral system; the relay system embedded into the moon no longer appears to function, its meager power source having been similarly prionized and depleted*

@Audacious

*Kneels down and runs my finger across the moon's surface*
This is the work of Artemis' dad, no doubt about it. Our family's mortal enemy.

*The orb of plasma flickers heavily for a moment, my gaze drops to the ground at your feet and a look of incredible unease washes over my face*

@Legend

I’m fi… Fiuh-
*Swallows after a lump in my throat keeps my from speaking up, and I start walking away*
You should look over there, and I’ll look- I…
*Stumbles after dragging a shaky step and falls to my knees*

Woah there!

What's going on??

I didn’t even consider the odds…
*Stares at the ground, where my feet meet the Earth*
Him?

Isis, I-
*Pauses and glances to look at you for just a moment before yanking my head away again*
I mean everything I’ve said to you today. It’s all within your capabilities. But if we happen to meet him…
*Shakes my head while looking at the ground*
I can’t.
