*Turns toward the larger, busier town*
Home. Going home should answer everything.

@Valiance

*Follows*
The way you said that is a little disconcerting.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

A number of things. But I’m hoping, given the nature of it, that I’ll see Revellyn here. With my own eyes.

@Valiance

Where do you plan to look first? Or do you know where to look first?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Clenches both my fists as I slowly gaze around*
I wish. This is how it was when things were fine. Before anything happened.

@Valiance

What could cause something like this?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Emerges behind you, as we stand at the crest of a grassy hill, just tall enough to overlook two towns on either side, and a small number of tiny personal aircraft buzzing about*

@Valiance

Is this how you left it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*The blue ball grows into a full-sized portal, and I sigh*
If you’re sure. I just have no expectations of you to do something you don’t want.

@Valiance

If you expected it, it wouldn't be enough to pay off the debt.
*Walks through the portal*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Not only did I not help you, but you have full humanity back. Should you throw that away so quickly?

@Valiance

First, I've got part of that thing's soul now, and if he's any stronger than his minions, I'm beyond set. Second, I'm going to have to kill the cosmic dragon eventually. Third, I owe you for sparing my life anyway, so I'm helping you whether you like it or not.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I did not help you. And as far as I can tell, you’re powerless. You don’t owe me.

@Valiance

You heard the demon, I can go back anytime I want. I'm helping.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Now you see the issue.
*Looks at you*
But you’re free to go back home.

@Valiance

*Raises an eyebrow, bewildered*
You're kidding. After all of this?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Turns toward a light blue ball of energy that forms next to me, spinning and wobbling silently*
My home planet hasn't existed since I was a child.

@Valiance

That's absurd. How could it be back?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Revellyn Rhosyn. Which is my enemy's name.

@Valiance

Why would your target return to your home planet?
