The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) 12 hours ago, CalanoCorvus said: Calano did feel something. But it was small, and he would not allow himself to hope: His Intent was to suade all to the Light. But… wasn’t hope part of the Light? Calano wanted so desperately to believe that the being in front of him was his wife, but… the still present humanity in him couldn’t accept that. ”I want to,” He whispered, “I wish it was you. I wish with every fiber of my being that it was you.” Calano looked down at her. ”But I don’t know. I have no way of knowing if you’re her, or just another trick.” He said. Emma reached for Calano and slapped him across the face. "It is me," whispered a stung Emma. "It is me." Gently she rested her hand on where she slapped him. "I wish you'd come back to me. I miss you, Calanie. I really do." @CalanoCorvus 1 hour ago, Kajsa said: Quote Whoops… idk how to fix that. Anyways, lovely.

You'll have to introduce us later. My name is Astwyr. A god of Stars, of Time, and of Dragons. I was born of the Alignment so that I could help the Worldseer in his endeavors in these realms. Realms of gods, and of paragons. This Worldseer, not just a Worldseer but the Worldseer, is Bookwyrm. I have the same relationship with him as you have with your Saar, and that many others in your group have with their gods. Despite the brightness of the star that is Bookwyrm's soul, Kaos has overridden his will and tinted that star's light so that he must serve that dark god. You once suffered the same fate. But Bookwyrm expended some of his light to create a constellation in your mind, shielding your soul. The darkness is still in you, and will remain until the defeat of Kaos. But the pure light of your soul, strengthened by his, gives you a way out. You need to do the same to him. 7 minutes ago, The Aspiring Archivist said: "I've heard mine for...

"Why does Calano need our help?" @Being of Cacophony The (now dark) Mysterious Forest Lark hesitated. "Calano has fully ascended? That is unfortunate." He wrote some more on his clipboard. "What should we do? Same as before, I suppose. What else can we do?" He glanced around. "Where's TAAron? I have a job for him." @The Aspiring Archivist Earth "Well, I don't think that Calano is going to want to fight Kaos and all it's minions, so I think it's our job to keep those occupied." Platypus turned to the rest of the group. "Do any of you have weapons that could help? I'm trying to get all this working as much as possible before waking Thaidakar and getting his input." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
