Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

You're in good company; we're not from here either. This place seems to draw in beings like us somehow. Lily and I just decided to stick with it because it reminded us of the guilds from our home.

@Fractured

Well it certainly seems like a good fit. So far as humans go anywa-

*Winces*

Eh, sorry, mortals. Didn't mean to assume, but you both look rather human to me. Although if you are immortal, do know that I mean no offense.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

It felt that way. They don't make it like they used to, I always say.

@Nimda

*Raises a finger, as though emphasizing a point*

I should clarify though, that I mean in my own world. I might not know where this place is exactly...

Or why the gate took me here...

But I do know that it certainly isn't the same world as the one I hail from.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*Shifts my angle, looking at you*
Hey, I don't mean to be rude, but are you ancient by any chance? You remind me of something from long, long ago.

@Nimda

*Chuckles*

More than you could possibly know. Yes, I am one of the oldest beings in existence, by mortal standards anyway.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Lily, at your service!

@Nimda

*Inclines my head*

A pleasure to meet you both.

Myriad Reality

*Sighs, pinching the bridge of my nose before stopping suddenly*

I just realized...

*Turns to face the three of you*

I never told you my name. It's Mazius. Mazius the-

*Snaps my jaw shut, as though I had thought better of what I was about to say*

Well, just Mazius now I suppose.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

You sure you don't want to stay a bit? Next round's on me.

@Fractured

I'm not exactly in the habit of indulging in drink. Even so, I appreciate the offer.

*Pauses just as I reach the door*

Although... how would you like to accompany me? I figure it'd be easier to navigate whatever dangers exist in the world beyond with a group than on my own, and besides...

*I gesture to Lily*

Your spirit there seems to have taken quite the interest in the nature of my "magic."

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Analyzing foreign magic.
*Watches intently and tries to discern the properties of the healing through the spiritual plane*

@Nimda

*You see what can only be described as energy or light flowing forth from some manner of wellspring located in my chest, through my arm, and into Gio. More curiously though, is the fact that my veins appear to be filled with some kind of liquid light*

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Not bad, thanks. I'm glad someone helpful showed their face today.

@Fractured

You're welcome. Now, I hate to cut this short...

*Heads toward the tavern's entrance*

But I must be going. That world won't explore itself after all, and I am still quite curious as to where it is exactly that I've ended up.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

You know, I wouldn't turn it down at this point. Especially since Lady Ineffective here ran me out of mana.

@Fractured

Alright.

*Rises from my seat and steps closer to you before stretching out my hand, palm facing you*

Hold still.

*My eyes flash gold while my palm emits an emerald glow, one that soon wreathes your body in an energizing and mending light. Once the light dies, I let my hand fall back to my side, and the glow in my eyes disappear on the very next blink*

There. That should do it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

I let this waste of spiritual space possess me to take down a strong opponent and I woke up puking blood.
*Wipes my mouth and moves onto the next mug*

@Fractured

I see.

*I sit in silence for a moment*

Are you in any need of healing?

Ironic that I should offer such...

*I flinch imperceptibly*

No. That life is behind me now. Best for me to start acting like it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Ah, that one's tough. I'm not from around here either.

@Fractured

I see. Well thank you for your help nonetheless.

*Strides over to settle my bulk onto a stool to your left, approximately three seats worth of space left between us*

I guess there's nothing to be done about it save exploring this place myself...

*Slides out from Gio's back*
Yeah, he just here to unwind from getting all beat up!

*My eyebrows raise slightly, but I remain silent*

Because of you!
*Grumbles*
Useless spirit...

*Unable to contain my curiosity any longer, I finally decide to speak*

May I ask how exactly? If you don't mind that is.
