Then I will leave you to it. Best of luck.

@Etcetera

Chickpea, we’re definitely moving after this.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I'm afraid the answer to both questions is no. The half-dragon must rely on her own power, and at best, you will have delayed the unknowable's awakening by some amount of time. Perhaps forever, perhaps a day.

@Etcetera

Here’s to it being closer to the longer half if that spectrum.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Then I expect great things from you three.
*Shifts my eyes toward Faering*
Including the self-proclaimed enemy of my kind.

@Etcetera

That sounds like a conversation ender, but I have two questions. First, is Faering free to use your power for the task ahead? And second, after taking down the heralds, will the beast slumber for eternity for certain?

*Clears my throat*
Moving forward, you have a small window to correct this misstep. Or risk bringing about the end of the world.

@Etcetera

A challenge I’m willing to accept.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

I have my own world to rebuild after your previous antics.

@Etcetera

There was no real damage done. Unless you mean the visit prior to mine.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Six locations are burned onto dimensions surrounding the dragon's like bolts of lightning*
You've begun the awakening, and its consciousness has spread to the surrounding area. Unless its vassals are put to slumber, they will move to reawaken the true entity.

@Etcetera

How quickly?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

The map.

@Etcetera

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Begrudgingly opens it up*

@Nimda

*Crosses my arms and listens*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Perhaps such a point exists. Perhaps not. But your folly was to disturb its slumber.

@Etcetera

A folly begetting what consequences?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

You expect us to take your word for it?

@Nimda

If it’s still alive then its influence is still out there, but if it’s dead then it’s not. Seems simple enough to verify and foolish to lie about.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

The true scale of your prey is beyond the confines of that dimension. It instead, occupies several.

@Etcetera

The next time we simply find a more vital point to attack.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Then perhaps you should have trusted your own intuition. That force that you encountered, if it can indeed be compared to something knowable, was not the entity you sought. As much as it can be understood, what you saw today was akin to a cell in your body, not its heart. And the defenses, its immunities.

@Etcetera

*Nods*
It did feel easier than it ought to have been.
