System

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

What she stole from someone she doesn’t know. Allegedly. There’s a lot to learn in short time.

@Valiance

Plainly, the piece of my soul housed in that arm. The girl consumes them and makes them her own.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Given your position here, I'm inclined to believe you.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Just a reminder that that's not what we want.

@Valiance

My soul and flesh are one. I believe your companion will find what she stole from me to be a useful substitute while it lasts.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

The kind of person we want is not a guardian figure whose primary interest is the well being of others.

<Snipped quote by System>

I hate to ask, since I'm afraid of no answer, but surely your sanctuary contains at least one undesirable? A criminal of some kind.

@Valiance

Only the truly righteous may enter—
*Glances from the gate to Faering*
—Or the excessively violent. A criminal would find themselves unable. However, your quest may have other solutions.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Why? This is exactly the kind of target that we take down while we have him cornered.

@Artifact

*Smiles knowingly with downturned eyebrows*
I regret what my kind has done to you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Leaps up with one foot casually, with such a speed that I appear next to you standing on air, and I remove the black hole by simply grabbing it with my hand*
Not the sort of game I enjoy playing.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

The kind of target I wish to find for you is not someone like this, Faering.

@Valiance

I long to give you the plain truth. And when the time shortly arrives, I will. Until then, I must protect my sanctuary and its residents.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Speaking vaguely helps less than I’m willing to.

@Valiance

Plain language will disrupt your choices in such a way you will regret. Reflect on my words when the time comes.
*Releases my hand and the world unfolds itself, now on the outside of a newly-repaired gate*
I understand why you've come now, and I wish you much luck in the coming days, for my influence does not extend to your destination.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Shrugs*

@Artifact

You've taken from me, and my people remain safe. Surely that will satisfy the endless greed of your borrowed soul.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Shifts slightly and glances at Faering, then back to you*
There’s a lot to not understand, especially without explanation.

@Valiance

*Grips my remaining hand and the image of the world around us crumples into my palm like a piece of paper*
You've opened a door you won't easily close. But I prefer to see the truth of your choices for myself.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

We’ve done nothing your half-ruined gate wouldn’t have allowed anyway.

@Valiance

You understand not what you trifle with. You've endangered homes other than mine

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Pulls my head back and slams down, using the recoil to snap your bones to pieces*
Howsh that!

@Artifact

*Golden ichor and crimson light drips like liquid from the wound*

<Snipped quote by System>

*Glances at Faering*
Ourselves.

@Valiance

You have desecrated this sanctuary.
