<Snipped quote by Vacare>

We call these places dungeons. We're trying to get to the bottom of this mountain because it supposedly has some kind of ancient, undisturbed ruins at the bottom. How did you get here?

@Fractured

I woke up here... Like I said, the last thing I remember was fighting the darkness, the abyss that consumes all worlds. There was a war... But, beyond that I cannot remember.

And to what end have we arrived?

@Source

I don't have a name for it, but I can tell you that this is everything.

@Vacare

*Pauses*
What kind of darkness was it?

Why are you speaking with me?

@Fractured

*Staggers back*

You don't know of it? It was the apocalypse! The prophesied end of all things! Monsters of unknowable horror and black fire consuming all in their path! Our world was left in ashes with the last stand of great heroes shining like a beacon against it! How could you not know?

*Glances at Lily*
Should we tell him?

@Vacare

We’re not from this world. And based on that magic spike earlier, I’d wager you aren’t either.

@Fractured

That would explain a lot. That must mean I and the other heroes have failed and our world has fallen. But the why of it all confuses me...

@Vacare

I wish we had the answers you seek. We’re just adventurers; for all we know, your world is in great shape right now.

@Nimda

That is all I can hope for. But for now, we might as well make our way out of here. My mana has recovered enough to at least be able to defend myself.

@Vacare

What are your proficiencies?

@Fractured

Well in my world I'm what you would call a grand magician. I can cast illusions, elemental spells, and even alter gravity. I can also cast all those things through Noct. In my best form, I can do it simultaneously through Noct and myself, but right now I'm a little weaker than that.

@Vacare

That's cool! Sounds like you're a pretty experienced generalist.

@Nimda

Ahaha, thank you. But it seems, I'll have to follow both of your leads for now. Lead on!

@Vacare

Do you have the strength to go through this dungeon with us?

Quantum Tunnel!
*Materializes behind you and slams your face into the point of Shinji’s blade*

@System

Aeron:

*it bounces off, then I flip around, grabbing your arm, and I plant my left foot on your left shoulder, ripping your arm clean from its socket, the thrust force enough to send you flying through a building*

Shinji: *assumes a still, focused stance. I run two finger down the length of my blade*

Path of One Million Cuts.

*I appear to be in multiple spots at once simultaneously, and each version of me darts forward to aeron, each slash violently rips through him as if he were made of butter*

Aeron: not a bad trick. Got anymore up your sleeve?

*grins, despite the millions of tiny cuts that allow amaranthine to glow through*

Maybe in about 3 hours, you'll both finally get somewhere.

@Fractured

Enough to cast a few mid to high level spells, but at the most I'll have to rely on both of you. Sorry for being a burden.
