Thaidakar said this partially excitedly. It was the truth, if only part of it. "Oh, good." TAAron still sensed that the response was incomplete. The excitement over the wedding present didn't match the worry. "There's something else, isn't there? Something you won't tell me..." He sighed. "You don't have to tell me, I suppose. I shouldn't be pressing so much." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I—okay then." TAAron turned back to Nameless, awaiting an answer about the chamber. Quote I did a continuity oopsie. Let's just ignore the fact that I was talking to Nameless and then had a whole conversation with Thaidakar before he answered. @Nameless 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAAron turned back to Nameless, awaiting an answer about the chamber. @Nameless Thaidakar nodded and walked out of the room. He swiped his hand up and amber sparks flowed from his finger tips. A portal formed and he stepped through. The archive looked breathtaking. The tall shelves and mountains of books quivered slightly. Thaidakar put a hand on the nearest shelf. It thrummed softly, but it wasn't power from the books themselves or from the shelf. Something was coming. Thaidakar immediately pulled out a small gadget and started scanning the shelves one by one as fast as he could. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I'm not sure it's very common for people to have soul damage because they are literally half dead." He stood up again, wincing at the pain.

The Halcyon Girl she/her Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Haly flopped onto her bed and started a random CD in the CD player she’d installed in the wall. I can’t believe this. How could they take this away from me? A line of poetry from a Kellan chronicle translated itself in her mind. Search a hundred days, you’ll never find The fragments of this broken heart of mine… She blinked, realizing how melodramatic that sounded. Okay, enough fun. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. The music slipped into her thoughts, misplacing them to make way for itself. You’re in my mind all of the time, I know it’s not enough… She was fine. Life was fine. She’d find a way. Wind chimes were content with life, and they didn’t live in Nayo. Well, if the sky can crack, there must be some way back… Haly kicked the CD player. “Shut up. Don’t taunt me.” She could make her own music. She started to hum a snatch of song, a sort of riddle song: It leaps and it shivers Completely untethered Small as a movement Large as a word ”I should go check on TAAron,” she mused. “See how Nameless’ doctors are coming along.” So she skipped down the corridor and knocked on the infirmary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd probably just tell you that I had left recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
