*From the ground*
Would it be permissible to leave this place?

@Legend

Yes. Ma'at's not the only one who can open a portal. Where would you like to go?

@Disdain

Anywhere that is not here would be appreciated.

*Dusts most of the snow off before opening another portal and appearing behind you somewhat off balance.*
Alright, so where's this test taking place?

@Darlit Glitch

Through this portal. *A portal opens up against the wall, leading to a large, blond plain with a shed in the middle* Here's the note I was given. Seth said it was "the test guidelines". *Hands you the note*
-Note- The Blue Magic and the Violet Magic both twist the universe to suit their ends, whether creative or destructive. But users of the Indigo Magic must flow with the universe. They must learn to use it as it is intended to be used, because the mechanics they manipulate are so delicate and destructive that the wrong change can be disastrous. Velvet Scribes are resourceful—but they must leave no trace.

@Legend

Anywhere but here... Okay. *Opens a portal to the Codex headquarters, which has been rebuilt*

Huh, pretty sparse looking, but not bad.
*Takes a few seconds to read the note.* ...alright then, looks like this is going to be an interesting challenge.

*The only thing other than the shed is an abandoned mine with an open gate*

@Darlit Glitch

Which should we investigate first?

@Legend

*Follows you and closes the portal* There is immediate medical assistance here. It's as close to magical healing as you can get with technology. I don't know if you, too, are incompatible with magic, but this is what we have.

@Disdain

*Holds up one hand*
Medical technology... maybe that will work.

-Maddie- *Spins on Ma'at angrily* Do you have any idea how bad it is what you're doing?
-It has to be done. They're alive, right? They don't have to know. It's all for the greater good. *Looks away*
-Maddie- But I'm your friend! And you did—that—to me, and you know that I know!
-They're my friends too. I have to protect them.

@Legend

Will it?

Will it?

@Disdain

I do not know.

I do not know.

@Legend

Let us find out. Follow me, please.

-Aron- Looks like they might be. *They have gathered at the front of the town with spears, but they bury the tips into the ground*

*The energy slowly departs from us, leaving in whisps back the way we came, and we start to slow down and gradually lose altitude*

*Limps in your direction*

@Legend

*We come to the medical wing, where there is a bed* We have technology of all kinds--nanobots, natural biochemicals produced synthetically, chemical injections that speed up the healing process, and so on. Our devices analyse your body and injuries and apply the best and most compatible treatments.

*Steps forward* Greetings, travellers. I am Fin-ne, of the Atsas-aleni tribe. Youa re here for the test of the Green Magic, I presume.

@whizzball1

-Maddie- But I'm not a Codex. I'm not in that danger, just like Isis isn't. So why did you do it to me?
-Ma'at- ...
-Maddie- *Eyes widen* You're going to-- *Narrows my eyes* You're becoming just like her!
-Ma'at- *Steps back* *Angrily* I am not!
