Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*The force ejects me from beneath the ground, and I immediately follow the attack with a golden beam aimed at each of your heads*

@System

*Instinctually bends backwards to avoid the attack, and then kicks off the ground toward you at blinding speed*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I should hope you would know.

@Valiance

Your fairy has a soul?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Seems like there’s bo interest in talking, but I assume that comment was about you.

@Valiance

Who’s number four, though?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*The impact is soft and knocks me below ground as if it were water*

@System

*Cranes my neck as my pupils constrict*
I have no idea who this guy is.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Stops as well for the moment and nods*
I said before that we share more in common than you’d imagine… But we’ll discuss it more later. We need to find someone suitable. I just don’t know what kind of society or culture exists here.

@Valiance

It was busier last time I was here.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Blinks*
I’m not doing all this just to target you afterward. I’m sharing my pain. The ones responsible for my curse have been found.

@Valiance

*Stops walking*
...
*Turns fully to face you*
I owe you. And once this is done, I can pay that debt.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

The best thing you can do with a curse, is make sure those responsible are shown justice, and then to hold it tightly. Never be the reason someone else feels as you do, or you’re no better than what you call dirt.
*Straightens my shoulders*
The “justice” part is what I hope to do when we leave here finally. To tell you where we’re going.

@Valiance

*Glances toward you and meets your eyes*
If you’re going to kill me, save us the trouble and do it now. I don’t like playing games.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Grief is a sickness. And if you attack more than just the cause, you’re bound to spread it.
…
The exact individuals who wronged you. Do you know what happened to them?

@Valiance

...
*Kicks up a mound of moist soil*
Our village eventually rose up against the tyrant. Somehow they killed it. Feasted on the beast for days.
*Jabs a clawed thumb toward my chest*
And now I’m forced to carry it with me like a curse.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I don’t. I don’t care about these people at all. But no one deserves the tragedies you’ve endured. Even if it’s at your own hands.

@Valiance

Your idealism will get you killed, you know.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Taking someone innocent makes me no better than the people I’ve sworn my life to bringing to justice. And if we’re going to build you back up to what you used to be, or even better, then we’re going to do it better. Do it right.

@Valiance

I don’t realize why you care so much about a creature worth less than dirt. I’m doing the universe a favor here.
