*holds on tight*
Whatever you say.

@Spiritblitz

*Time speeds up around us as the world plays out without our influence—the shimmering figure walks up to the water and looks at her reflection, Midnight clearly reflected in the surface*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*stares at the shape*
I was told that I was by a few people, let’s hope they weren’t lying.

@Spiritblitz

We need to hide.
*Takes your arm in mine*
And don’t let go.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

From what my brother told me, silence in places like this means there is something nearby. Something dangerous.

@Spiritblitz

He’s right.
*A shape shimmers next to the edge of the forest*
You’re untrained, but you’re going to pick up something new. I hope you learn quickly.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*inspects the surroundings*

@Spiritblitz

*A deer-like creature drinks from the stream in the distance, and a butterfly swoops into a nearby forest across the brook*
We’re early.
*Checks my pocket watch, lacquered blue*

Myriad Reality

…
*stares at you for a moment with concern and follows you*

@Spiritblitz

*We immediately exit to a real riverbank at sunset, trickling softly in a silent valley*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*follows*
You've gone though a lot, haven't you?

@Spiritblitz

*Looks back at you, inches from the sand*
...It’s inevitable.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*stretches my back and massages my sides, groaning*
Alright, lemme just do something real quick.
*pulls out a large box that was attached to my waist and opens it up, I insert three vials that are red green and yellow into slots. The device spins and drains the vials into a larger one and grab the side of the box and pull, revealing a syringe gun that the large vial is attached to*
A little “pick me up”.
*stabs my arm and pulls the trigger, releasing the liquid into my body and my breathing slows, I slide it back in the pack and insert three orange vials that have blue particles within, the process repeats and I take out the gun and holster it in a shoulder holster, placing the pack back on my belt*

@Spiritblitz

*Raises an eyebrow but says nothing as I slide the slab back in place and head toward the wall we came from, now just a waterfall of sand*

They appear really reliable. Kinda like my first sniper. Though I do like my modulars.
*sighs*
I need some food after all this is calmed down.

@Spiritblitz

I hope they are.
*Packs several spare magazines and closes up the compartment, turning toward the stairs*
After we save my sister, I’ll get you whatever you want.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*stares in in bewilderment*
Wh-What is going on? You use guns??

@Spiritblitz

I started with guns. These two. I’ve since made some modifications.
*Touches my finger to the bottom of the barrel, which has been sharpened to a fine edge, drawing a thin line of blood*
Firearms have... issues. But without my scythe, I don’t have a choice.
