"I don't think I do."

Wynn used Shadows to open the pocket full of Stacis.

"Well, help me with this while we wait. I'll cut it, and you align it."

Time skip? Basically they're making a magician's circle out of specially cut Stacis.

Mitis was pulled into a vivid vision from TAAron's perspective. He was tired and hungry, wandering around on the streets of some far away city. He was terribly alone.

Then, a figure appeared around a corner. A young boy with dirty red hair and dark eyes watched him, wearing ragged clothes and covered in scrapes and scars, yes somehow with a good-natured smile on his lips. He approached TAAron, who was very taken aback.

"Hi. I'm Kol! I've seen you around, and I thought I'd better introduce myself. You look like you need a friend."

The memory cut out.

@The Halcyon Girl

"How could we possibly have that capacity?"

“Woah,” she whispered, then shared the vision with Haly.

”Oh, TAAron,” she whispered. “I had no idea you ever…” she trailed off and hugged him tighter.

"I killed him. With a knife."

“Show me.”

He sobbed quietly.

After a few hours of careful cutting, the circle was set. Wynn wiped her brow.

"There we go. Be careful not to step in it. Not sure what it would do to you."

"So. We just need to trick a god into entering a suspicious magic circle."

"Trick... Or force. And it won't be suspicious, look." The circle seemed to disappear, leaving only a dark stain on the floor.

“It’s okay,” she said softly. “It will help. Please, let me help.”

"You can look. Go ahead." His voice was hoarse.

I don't know that she could, because Stacis is hard to magically manipulate.

"Don't you think he'll be able to sense it anyways?"

 

Just now, The Halcyon Girl said:

Haly looked to Mitis, who reentered the memories.

TAAron woke up to the sound of pounding footsteps.

"Kol! Get up!" TAAron shook his partner awake, dread building in his chest. This group had been chasing them for the better part of a month now.

Kol woke up with a start, and quickly rise to his feet. "They're here?"

TAAron nodded.

The footsteps grew louder.

---

Back in reality, TAAron let out a cry of anguish. The memory cut out.

“What happened next? TAAron, what happened?”

"Well it can't hurt to try. He'll still probably notice it, but maybe he won't realize what it is."

So are we planning for Malum vs. Kaos first, or are these guys gonna fight him?

The memory snapped back into focus. TAAron was on the floor, being beaten horribly by a group of adults. One held a glowing sphere. TAAron's life began creeping away.

Haly’s grip tightened, and she dug her fingernails into his arm without realizing it. “Stop. Leave him alone—stop!”

Wynn subconsciously scratched the runes on her arms.

"So, Lerac, what will you do when all this is over? You're immortal. Boredom is a very real danger."

As he was beaten, the one with the sphere---the leader---approached ominously.

Suddenly, Kol appeared. The small boy tackled the leader, managing to bring him to the floor. The rest of the group paused the beatings, surprised.

Haly’s grip tightened again and tears filled her eyes. “You could have died.”

"I don't know. Spend time with you, I guess."

The memory continued in full force. Kol and the leader wrestled on the floor, and shouts rang out in streets nearby as law enforcement took notice.

In a minute, they had flooded the always and broken up the fight. The group retreated, leaving both TAAron and Kol bleeding on the floor. The strange sphere had been smashed against Kol's back.

Haly sobbed once. “I didn’t know…”

"See the universe? Find new things? That's good." She looked distracted.

That's my last post for tonight. I might watch what you guys do for a bit, though.
