Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Then how about we ensure we’re entertainingly loud?
*Swoops up and arcs deep into the city*

@Artifact

*Seems to visibly consider leaping down immediately after you, but then halts and waits, watching for a moment*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

I wouldn't count on it.
*Wings sprout from my back*
Especially since its real home is much less obvious.

@Artifact

*Drops the large chunk of earth still remaining in my hands, watching it fall to the city below*
No chance to go back to being subtle now.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Perfect!
*An earthquake rumbles from where we stand and the cracks encircle the mountain, eating away at the stability of all the surrounding lands*

@Artifact

*The grounds starts to raise, the with the mountain at the far end being ripped from the ground like a lever where I am the fulcrum*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Then please—
*Raises both of my hands to the side and motions toward the mountain*
Be my guest!

@Artifact

Actually, allow me to take it a step further.
*Reaches down and plants my hands into the earth forming cracks in the ground the begin at my fingers and split the ground along a path towards either side of the mountain*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Yes...
*Nods*
Close enough to what I was thinking.

@Artifact

You have no idea how down I am with foregoing subtlety.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

@Artifact

*Raises a fist and clenches it so tightly that my knuckles pop*
Knock really hard.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Once a hoarder has nothing left to hoard, why stay?
*Narrows my eyes, scanning up and down the mountainside*
Unless this planet sees more activity than meets the eye.

@Artifact

Has ties to cosmic forces, I wouldn’t be shocked.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Sniffs the air*
Even with the cosmic dragon's influence, this behavior is unusual. Dragons live in solitude, but rarely perfect isolation.

@Artifact

I don’t think there’s anywhere to be here other than alone.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

As if its lair could be any more obvious.

@Artifact

Creatures of habit just like all the rest, I suppose.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

You'll both have more than your fill. With any luck, your fill of violence rather than distress.
*Steps through and emerges onto a barren, cracked stone of a landscape, chilled with a supernatural eerie cold, and scattered with canyons that break apart the endless plain—before us stands a single towering mountain to break up the monotony of the landscape*

@Artifact

Lest our luck and ideals meet.
*Steps in behind you after a very brief moment and glances around, then looks expectantly up at the mountain*
