<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*glances and notices your expression before looking back into the water*
I see something right now.

@Spiritblitz

*Stands up and dusts off my pants*
What's that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

I figured, still. It’s not worth seeing either way.
*stares back into the water*
What did you see when you first saw this?

@Spiritblitz

The first time?
*Stops and stares forward for several moments, clearly reminiscing something unpleasant*
...I don't remember what I saw the first time.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

I’d rather not know when my brother’s demise is.

@Spiritblitz

On a positive note, that future is very likely unwritten.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

He’s had a lot of close calls.

@Spiritblitz

Luck runs out for most people eventually.
*Chuckles*
Maybe if you search long enough in that river, you’ll find out when.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Probably…Or because he is incredibly hardheaded.

@Spiritblitz

That’s a great way to die in his line of work.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Hm. I wasn’t gonna give the idea I was gonna try it, just wondering.
*mumbles*
Rhoan would be dumb enough to try though.

@Spiritblitz

*Wears a quasi-judgmental frown*
I assume to make a point?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Yeah, I am seeing that…
*peers into*
Has anyone survived the river?

@Spiritblitz

Falling in, not a soul. It’s possible to touch it and survive, but I wouldn’t suggest it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*goes down into the push up and stares into the waters as I hold it*
This water is almost beautiful just to watch, if I’m gonna be honest. Never seen anything like it.

@Spiritblitz

It is. Almost hypnotizing, isn’t it? If you look closely, you can see everything there ever was.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

That is the least cryptic yet very inspiring thing you have said.
*begins to do the push-ups more intensely, staring into the water*

@Spiritblitz

I... thank you?
*Sits cross-legged at the bank of the river for several minutes before I speak again*
Now I want you to lock yourself as close to the waters as you can muster. Be careful, your boat of safety will drift unexpectedly in the waters of time.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

What if I find my own way?

@Spiritblitz

Then become so great a master that the next generation longs to walk alongside your footsteps.
