Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Blows away like a vapor in the wind, sticking my tongue out at you*

@Etcetera

Man, weren’t you talking about being weak? What’s this?
*Paces in a small circle slowly*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*A blood wall thickens between the both of us into a black ooze*

@Etcetera

Of course, you could always prove something else to me as well.
*Reaches a hand out in your direction welcomingly, palm open*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Slices into my hand with my nail and the blood gushes out to form thick, scabbed-over walls above and around you*

@Etcetera

*Stands up again, shifting back to, and remaining locked on your exact position despite the loss of a direct line of sight*
So in case it wasn’t obvious, I’m a little special. I might be willing to help you figure it out though, but you’re going to have to earn it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Catches you with two fingers by your nostrils and slams you into the ground, cratering it in the shape of your body*

@Etcetera

Two steps forward, but I would say… One step back. Still progress.
*Glances to the side where I last spoke to Midnight*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Uses the opportunity to drive my fist into your waist*

@Etcetera

*Exhales quickly through my nose in the moment of impact, then leans closer*
You’re a little warmer.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Waves with both hands as the pit itself shatters into an aimless void*

@Etcetera

*Falls for only the slightest fraction of a moment before you feel a tug on the transparent force that’s seemingly attached itself to you, and in an instant, I close the gap and am in your face- Though very distinctly with my arms at my sides, and in no position or stance to attack*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*As they shatter, the fault lines spread into the ground below you, which collapses into a pit full of spikes of hardened, bleached bone*

@Etcetera

*Falls onto my back, slamming through the bone and crumbling it to fragments around me, and I get up slowly- casually, and unfettered, while looking back up to you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Scowls and digs into the ground like butter, from which erupts a wide field of obsidian spikes that impale you from several angles*

@Etcetera

*Disappears behind the wall of spikes, only to emerge from them by walking through them toward you, warping the stone and bursting through it as it shatters in resistance to my movement*
Cold, unfeeling stone.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Just her?
*Flings the sign at your neck, sharpened to a deadly edge*

@Etcetera

*The sign crunches and bends as it hits my neck like a solid wall, bouncing off and falling to the ground ringing*
I guess so, because there was no meaning behind that attack.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

If I go and force open a path for you two... that's only going to work once. You need to go with her or you'll be stuck here until you wake up.

@Legend Begins

Then go wake me up when you're out. She wants to kill you, and if she does it more quickly than you expect then we're all stuck.
