<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*I swing my sword, and a ball of green slime shoots out of it in the path in-front of us and I pick both of you up with one of you under each arm*
Do not worry, no harm will be made to you two.
*the greed slime quickly turns red right before I jump on it, exploding and launching us towards the wisp*

@Zealz

Holy- BY THE GOOOOOODS!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

If you both need a boost to catch up to the wisp, I can aide you.

@Zealz

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

Aid how?

@Meta

Whatever it is, you better do it quick!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

It’s what I do!
*Swipes my hand in front of me, throwing small daggers that rip through the air and into the shadows*

@Meta

*I cast a spell through Noct in the sky*

Radiant burst!

*A rain of white light needles ripping through what remained*

You still have a bead on them?!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Ducks underneath an arrow*
Are you all still alive back there?

@Meta

Holding on barely, but you're quite fast!

*I start quick casting spells*

Stellar Shot!

*A radial burst of blue glowing javelins hit several shadows on clearing the path and giving us breathing room*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

This looks like it's up my alley!
*Vaults over the shadows and runs after the wisps, dodging projectiles*

@Meta

*I run after you sending Noct into the sky to keep track of the wisps. The shadows that weren't blocked by my flame wall start to trail us from behind*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*slightly unsheathes, one of my swords*
Acrid.
*when I pull out the blade completely, the sword widens and begins to glow a slight neon green at the sharp end. With a single step I appear near the shadows at incredible speed, slashing at them*

@Zealz

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

*Takes a step back*
Bold move.

@Meta

*The wisps begin to move away from us as the shadows begin to creep closer in large numbers. Baron's initial attacks seem to work but after being slashed apart they slowly reform. I begin to cast a spell to dispel the crowd.*

I'm starting to see why most people who take this up probably didn't come back... We gotta catch up to those wisps!

*I hold my hand up and a circle appears radiating out of my palm*

Blaze!

*A wall of flame appears between us and the initial wave of shadows*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Flips the book closed with a thunk and follows the path of the wisps*

@Meta

*The wisps once again lead outside and disembodied voices begin to speak. The skies begin to darken and the air becomes thick with the smell of fire and steel and blood.*

Him: "I'll take the rest of the guards, seal off the palace gates, go!"

Her: "Don't be reckless, come back to the palace with me! We'll hold them off-"

Him: "If they get to the palace there'll be no where else to run. Get to the palace and prepare to flee!"

*The shadows around us begin to form into crooked silhouettes of people holding swords, bows, and spears. One fires an arrow grazing me on the shoulder*

Ach!- Careful, those ones can actually hurt us.

I'm a fan of this quest! Let's go see the rest of the show.

@Meta

Sure... Don't forget the book. I'll follow your lead for now!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Riffles the pages until I get to the marked section*

@Meta

*The tip of the feather points to a phrase, and another voice accompanies it, this time male, "... And today, tomorrow, and the days at the end of the world, I will love you." a glowing silhouette appears next to you, it looks towards another silhouette that has less detail. The lights then begin to fade and turn into wisps that dance as if asking to be followed.*

Whoa...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

You bet!
*Skips toward the sections containing romance novels and pulls an irregular pattern of books off the shelves*

@Meta

*I follow closely behind you and as you pull some of the books out of the shelves, you find that one has a feather sandwiched between the pages*
