Not happening. Not today anyway.

*Some of the insects experimentally dip lower into our pillar of clarity*
We've been here too long. Is there anything else you need to see before we leave?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Curious to know if it even cares about non dragons.

@Valiance

It might care if you attacked it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Baffling. I wonder if it’s so aware that it knows we’re here now and just doesn’t care.

@Valiance

If I guessed, I’d say it knows I’m here because of my dragon souls... soul. I couldn’t tell you if you’re visible or not.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

What was it?

@Valiance

All I could see were crystalline threads connecting scales much worse than these. They all seemed to point toward some central thing, but there were far too many to make out what it was.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

You have its anatomy mapped and correlated to a real living thing’s?

@Valiance

I’m not some expert on what this thing is, but if anything is a heart, it’s whatever I found.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Experience in that too, huh?

@Valiance

I tried to visit its heart once. That nearly woke it up.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

It can get angry despite being in a slumber?

@Valiance

It can. Its emotions are usually short-lasting, but you don’t want to be caught in them.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

It’s quite an adventure in store, that’s for sure. What happens if you try to attack it? You said you can’t touch it conventionally, but there are parts here that you could definitely attack and do damage to.

@Valiance

Here, the environment will get you. On most of them, it doesn’t care, and a few will make it angry.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

What’s the reason for deciding to show me? We were fighting to the death hours ago, we’ve talked a little bit and now you bestow knowledge of an unfathomable cosmic force in slumber upon me.

@Valiance

Because if you’re really going to help me, then you need to see why my goals are more than “questionable at best.” And if you aren’t, now you know the alternative.

Something something world hunger. Thanks for not taking us there.

@Valiance

*Nods*
I didn’t think so. It’s unpleasant.
