*takes note of this, and nods. My focus returns to the cord*

I ... wonder....

*attempts to create a strand from me to the cord*

@souleaterfan320

*The two connect, binding together strongly*
Good intuition. Well done.

*attempts to weave three strands together*

@souleaterfan320

*They form a strong cord*
Consider this your lifeline. As long as the strands are not broken, you have a path to survival. But when the weave of life is frayed, you must cobble together enough strands of time in your favor.

Myriad Reality

*Casts a handful of sand into the wind*

*reaches out towards a few steands to touch them*

@souleaterfan320

This will take time, and I am no expert of the weave. I can hardly perceive the waters as it is.
*Reassembles my pistol, and after much effort and days you start to manipulate the strands*
You need to take these strands and weave them together into the future you desire. A future where your injuries no longer cost you your life.

Myriad Reality

*Disassembles my other pistol*

Myriad Reality

*Polishes my gun barrel as Dane works*

Myriad Reality

*Draws a symbol in the sands that is quickly blown away*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

How should I... go about that? What means of connection am I to use..?

@souleaterfan320

Time is unknowable.
*Sands spiral out of my palm, branching on top of itself before it drops to the ground in a clench of my fist*
Much like a fractal extending infinitely in every direction, we can merely catch a glimpse. You must gaze upon the unknowable form of time and learn its attributes in the framing of your chosen discipline.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

... the weave, it is.

@souleaterfan320

So be it. Now you must attune yourself to the weave. That will not be a short-lived, nor painless process.
