Well, if you're right, we get to do that fighting you wanted.

@Heroic

Heh, I never said I wanted to fight. Besides, how would we even fight—those? *Giant black bugs with underbellies very close to the ground approach from all sides*

@GalaxyRaider
I read your IA species book. I think the abilities of the Tzarians might well have been mentioned early on, but other than that I think the races are interesting and well-developed. If they have special cultures of their own, especially customs, those are really important to the identity of a race--not just its abilities.

Well. What a coincidence.
*Follows you over*

@Heroic

Wait—there's no lions. And the pearl is still green. Why?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

Good to hear.
*Looks around*

@Heroic

Hey, I recognise that light over there. *Starts walking closer* Hey, look—it's another pearl!

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

When necessary. The only downside to our course of action is, well, you seem like you got a workout.

@Heroic

I'll be okay; I've done this before. I'm used to magicing away post-workout fatigue, so I guess now that I can't do that my body's catching up with me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

We shouldn't actually be too far.

@Heroic

Okay, good. *The closer we get, the more wolves leave the chase until, finally, the last one turns away reluctantly and I come to a stop, catching my breath* Okay. We're safe. I hope. Hey, I wonder if they'll count this as a test when we get back. They talked about conflict as a thing we needed to use.

*Leaps down harmlessly and moves in that direction*
Follow me!

@Heroic

*Follows you; some of the wolves drop off from the chase*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

*Jumps up and grabs a tree branch, using my momentum and swinging forward and higher up to the next branch and repeating the process while slowing down minimally to get higher for a vantage point to try and see any of the creatures we're looking for*

@Heroic

*You shortly see a pack of lions a ways to the right*
*From below* You see anything?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

*Takes note of this but says nothing*

@Heroic

*As we get closer to the hills they stay at the same pace, but once we're in the vicinity they start running faster* They want us bad; we need to find lions!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

*Follows closely, reattaching the cone to my torch as we run*

@Heroic

*Does the same and shines it behind me; the wolves are only running as fast as we are regardless of their former speed*
