[IC] Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*I look to Gio when he spoke then back to Lily*

We don't live very long. The average lifespan for a human is around seventy plus years? That's not a long time when you put into perspective that Dwarves from my world live up to five hundred years and elves live up to eight hundred.

*I then stand up and start preparing the rabbit*

Lily, please be a dear and help gather some spices, if you can find some wild potatoes, onions, and garlic those would really help.

@Vacare

What about you personally?
*A red ring of light grows larger and coats what remains of the courtyard with a soft red glow, illuminating any edible plants in the vicinity*
I can go look outside this place too, but I need the bird to help me.

*Noct perches on Lily's shoulder*

I think he was waiting for you to say that ahaha!

Me, I'm not sure, I'm only in my twenties? thirties? I stopped counting after I turned twenty-five. I could live up into my hundreds, but with my unique abilities who knows. I'm fairly unique when it came to people in my world, well as unique as heroes get.

@Vacare

So you're a hero.

@Vacare

Possibly immortal?

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

@Fractured

Yes... I was chosen for the heroes party. So I feel great shame in not being able to protect my world. But as Lily said, we can only keep moving forward.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Possibly immortal?

@Nimda

It's a possibility that I hope is not true. It's quite lonely being immortal.

I'd ask more, but I've got to go!

@Vacare

Lonely? You have Noct.

[Vacare]

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Lonely? You have Noct.

@Fractured

I do, but when you really think about it. Noct is allowed to leave at any time, it's not like I force him to stay. We have a contract, but if he so wished I would let him go. Maybe that won't happen and I'll be thankful, but if it does and I truly turn out to be immortal... I've heard stories. Watching all the people you care about, grow up, grow old, and die while you stay forever young for centuries. It's... It's not a life I want.

@Vacare

I can see how that would be painful for a certain kind of person. Who would you be leaving behind?

@Fractured

Well I don't have my world anymore... But I do have you two and I don't know where we'll end up but I can't really see myself wandering alone in this foreign world without you two.

@Vacare

*Pokes the fire with a stick*
Sounds like you don't have much to lose. There are several worlds besides this one that you could visit.

@Fractured

How would I even go about that?

[Fractured]

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

How would I even go about that?

@Vacare

Different beings do it in different ways. I use a gate spell so Lily can modify it, but I could use a skill instead to avoid the mana cost. Some people I know can do it without being able to use magic at all.

@Fractured

Hmm... But... I don't understand how. Is it like... A teleportation spell?

@Vacare

Mine? It's modified teleportation, yeah. I have no idea how the others do it.

@Fractured

Hmm... Let me try something.

*I hold my hand out and cast a spell*

Hallways out of sight, hidden doors and paths, reveal yourself by my hand.

*Leans back and watches*

*Leans back and watches*

@Fractured

*A magic door way appears out of the ground and opens to reveal an unfamiliar place filled with unknown technology*

That's... Something else. What's this world now? There are automatons and flying metal airships and... What? What is this???

*Veil's face shows visible shock and confusion.*

@Vacare

Way too dangerous, whatever it is. Something in there will probably kill us.

@Fractured

*Immediately cancels the spell and the door dissipates into thin air*

I can't even believe I did that. I just tried to keep my mind clear and open a random doorway. I wonder if I could get back to my world with this...

*I paused for a moment to think with a hand to my chin before looking up to the sky again*

Nope! That's a bad idea. If the Darkness did indeed take my world, I'd be unleashing a horror on this world that none of us are prepared to face.
