Crimson Flame<Snipped quote by Techspert>
*Follows you into the sands, picking up speed*
*Digs my heels into the sand and swings my scythe in a wide arc too close to avoid*

*Digs my heels into the sand and swings my scythe in a wide arc too close to avoid*
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
*Follows closely after you, spinning my scythe in a circle*
*Takes off running from the shore, the area shifting and twisting into desert sands the further I run*
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
*Brings down the pinnacle of my scythe directly onto your skull*
*Swiftly rolls to the side, the boat getting cleaved in half by the attack, and leaps toward the shore*
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
Old man: What could be more worthless than a covenant of sands? Begone!
*A riptide sweeps through the river and carries your boat away*
No! You can't—
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
Young woman: No, but you still lost the battle. And the blessing of the river does not touch those you care about.
Wait!
*Breaks into a coughing fit*
By the sands, I won't be a problem for you. Just leave them all alone!
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
Old woman: By the ways of water, you may leave. We don't expect to see you again.
Old man: Yet your troublesome motivations remain. We will address those in due course. You may prefer your fate had you perished in this river.
*Coughs and chokes out a ragged word*
Wait—
*Flips my scythe upside down and pushes off of it against the boat to a standing position*
The river has spared me... your own ways don't allow you to reject that judgement.
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
Look at you, you did it!
*The thread resubstantiates itself, zipping away from you and connecting to the other end*
But now that you've been baptized by the river, what's next for you?
*Doesn't respond, instead gasping and shaking, trying to regain my composure*
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
Young man: Brave.
Old man: Foolish.
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
<Snipped quote by Memory>
Last resort.
*Spins my scissors around on my finger*
He didn’t have a choice. But now comes the interesting part.
*After several agonizing minutes, gathers the strength to pull myself the few millimeters above the river, still suspended by the boat over its surface, then yanks myself into the hull, gasping for breath*
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
*Snips the thread in two, adopting a scarlet hue before dissolving in either direction*
This was fun.
*The thread dissolution stops when it reaches me, hanging by one arm on the scythe, frozen with the tip of my foot barely grazing the river’s surface*
...
*Scenes, moments, memories, and worlds flash across my pupils and irises all at once*
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
You've run out of time.
*Snips along the path you were standing, materializing a thin thread as it's approached by the scissor pair*
*Cranes my neck to look at my boat behind me and in a split second decision, bursts into a backwards leap, embedding the point of my scythe into the dull wood of the vessel with a thud, locking it in place and dangling from the handle above the river's water*
