I don’t know what more you want me to say.

@Audacious

If your goal is to save her father, and you think you'll become prepared when you get there, what if he's already been defeated?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Technically yes. With availability though? Well…

@Audacious

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

We're also on a time crunch.

@Legend

Then it's likely you'll be fighting after all?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

I'm actually hoping we won't. But dad probably will, so same effect.

@Legend

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

<Snipped quote by Legend>

What she said.

@Audacious

Do you know anyone who is strong enough to fight that you aren't also trying to find?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Wait, “win”? What do you mean by “win”?

@Audacious

You're heading towards someone who is clearly your enemy. Chances are you'll end up having to fight him or others, correct?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Okay, hear me out, killing us is not the solution. We don't even know how to get back here.

@Legend

<Snipped quote by Legend>

He said he wouldn’t hurt us, Isis. I wouldn’t worry about that much.

@Audacious

*Nods*

I don't intend to harm you. My concern is that something is wrong enough that getting here is now... possible. Which seems to be the case. So if you end up following your dad's trail, and find the person who is, by your words, "his rival," it wouldn't be extremely difficult for him to figure out how to get here.

Ultimately, I need to make sure that you either win totally, lose quickly and completely enough that nothing can be learned from you, or that I fix whatever issue allowed you to get here.

I can't do the last one, so that unfortunately puts the onus on you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Which is why we think it isn't a coincidence.

@Legend

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

I’m just saying. It really sounds to me like something didn’t quite work as intended, in some way or another.

@Audacious

If you're trying to find someone dangerous, and now know where we are, do you see the problem here? If you accidently let him know we're here, what then?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

If we ended up here because we’re following the trail of someone who’s not very nice, then what are the odds that something is wrong in this place that you’re protecting?

@Audacious

Relatively low, actually. That place is protected by someone much better for it than me. I'm just looking out for my own.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

The way we didn’t end up where we were trying to go, I assume?

@Audacious

Ending in a different spot isn't what I'd call "force-shifting," though I suppose that makes sense.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

We don’t want to come back here. Like at all. It looks like you all have a nice place here and all, don’t get me wrong, but if this isn’t where Isis’s dad is then we won’t ever want to come back. But we do need to get to wherever it is he’s gone.

@Audacious

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Yeah, what she said! Plus, it's weird how we got force-shifted here. Maybe there's a conspiracy?

@Legend

"Force-shifted," what do you mean by that, precisely.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

The point is for people to bypass it and get to the place that you said no one should go? I can’t pretend like I understand, but we need to follow that trail. And if we leave here and pick up where we left off, odds are we’d loop right back into the same situation.

@Audacious

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Getting us the help we need.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Maybe you can point us in the right direction, at least?

@Legend

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It sounded like you were making sense to me already.

@Audacious

Let me put it this way. Nobody is supposed to be able to get here. But if I tell you where to go, that's telling you where to go to get back here. If you ended up coming here by accident, then it wouldn't make sense to reveal how you did it.
