"Haly, I know you're panicked, but throwing things helps no one. TAAron, are you holding the knife in?" TAAron shook his head slightly. "Great. So someone or something else. Malum, maybe?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Well, it's not a soul. It's a physical force allowed for by creating a limited physical presence with his weird metal shard things. Someone would have to cut off his physical connection to the room. Alternatively, getting him far away fast enough would work, although that solution is difficult and not as likely for them to figure out. There is another solution that I have in mind if that doesn't work. "Haly, do you want to say goodbye now?" TAAron asked through tears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranryu she/her Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Wynn approached the throne and bowed, waiting for the goddess to acknowledge her. After a minute or so, a tendril of ice-cold fire wrapped around her and lifted her into the air. "I know what you seek, little one. Are you willing to pay the price?" Wynn nodded. "Yes. " She replied simply. "Very well. It has been a great long while since once such as yourself presented yourself to me. As a sign that your promise is good, give me the conduit of your power." Wynn reluctantly pulled off her duel disk and held it up in offering. The goddess grabbed it with another tendril of flame, disintegrating all of it in moments. "The deal is sure. Do you understand the terms?" She bowed her head as the goddess set her back down. "Yes. I am willing." "Very well, little one. Go and use your new power reserve to punish this unruly god. But do not forget the price..." In a blur of Shadows and blue-white flames, Wynn found herself whisked back to the center of the labyrinth. She sighed. It's gonna be a long trip back to the others...

Our families. Cjehu, Sykel, Jaera, Tiernan, Tors, Lerac’s family. If you die, he gets what he wants. If you die, TAAron, Malum wins. Don’t let that happen. Don’t let him win, because if he wins now, he will just keep winning. Until there’s nothing left but him.” She paused. “Don’t let me down like that.” Edited January 10, 2023 by The Halcyon Girl 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
