What I thought is that she pushed in and experienced those things, but they were not simply present in her mind they were alsp present in his. If that is the case then a more active change even if most of it was confined to someone else would still be noticed by Nath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted to see how everyone else in the Inn was doing. @Channelknight Fadran Quote You can join the other thread and still have interactions here. Just say the Mishmash Inn thread happened an hour or so before the Eltelia thread. Easy. 2 hours ago, Shallan Stormblessed said: "If other people are going, I don't want to be left alone." Gone said emphatically. He had only recently realized that being lonely was something that could be prevented, and he wanted to prevent it as thoroughly as possible. "If I could help on either one, I want to. Mr. Fadran was nice to me, and he's letting me stay here. I want to help with one of them."

NameIess Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 10 hours ago, Trutharchivist said: Galard nodded, somewhat wistfully. "It's pretty much the same in my world. Dragons are hated and hunted by most humans. I come from a specific culture which, in elden times, worshipped dragons. The kingdom which they were part of didn't like it, and so they tried annihilating them. Legends say they were saved by a thunder of dragons, which moved mountains to surround the land where my ancestors lived." He sighed. "I was born and grew up in a valley - alongside Lightning here. My people no longer worship dragons, exactly, but we're in a close relationship with them. We were in for something of a shock when we crossed the mountains, Lightning and I." "We weren't accepted very well by the locals. There was this one human who accepted Galard as an apprentice - long story - and I had to move in with a few dragons that lived about ten miles away from the city. It was all a huge mess until we found a place in between - the university was located close enough to the dragons' lairs. We had to work put a treaty between humans and dragons, and it didn't really hold up." "... And that's our story, I guess. Which isn't too much related to what you were saying. Anything else?" "Well, I was wondering,.." Klave looked down at his hands, then back up at Lightning. "Do dragons in your world have magic?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us see how events unfold. Until tomorrow I leave you with this. Nath cautious as ever and yet curious ventures into his mind. His spirit venturing in a way few mortals ever can. Defenses within him honed by uncountable lifetimes stand at the ready. Armor flows around him as though preparing him for war. He whispers calmly to Tacien seeking to understand. He allows their minds to bleed into each other as eons of power balance their connection so that it will not be easily severed.

As with EmLee, Nath felt the pain of pressure and confinement all around him, increasing in strength the further he delved. Then, there was an explosion of information to replace the seeming emptiness, moving to quickly and too densely to comprehend. The pain increased to frightening levels, but Nath was not ejected as EmLee was. However, the information was abrasive, eating at his consciousness, and the pain only kept increasing. Quote If Nath stays for too long, it might cause permanent damage to his mind.

Klave looked down at his hands, then back up at Lightning. "Do dragons in your world have magic?" "In a way, I guess. They can use Ether channeling - as can humans. It comes more naturally to dragons, though, as they use it for their flight." Galard chuckled. "After all, it's not physically possible for such large creatures to normally fly with so small wings." "Don't forget the curses." Said Lightning. "When a dragon draws their final breath, they can lay a curse on anyone they know the names of." He shifted in place a bit. "Useful for when you want revenge on the puny human that killed you. We need a person's birth name for that one, though." "But," concluded Galard, "nothing behind that, really. Unless you count the fire breathing, which, admittedly, no one's been able to explain." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2EmLee2 she/her Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 14 hours ago, The Aspiring Archivist said: The sensation was awful, not just an ordinary pain but one that felt like it was eating away at her mind with a constant pressure. It created the illusion of being trapped, as though she were being crushed into a box that was growing smaller and smaller. Then, for just a fraction of a second, she broke into his mind. There was a blinding flash of pure information that was impossible to perceive, a final burst of pain, and she was ejected from Tacien's mind, the connection gone. He sat there, apparently undisturbed. The pain lowered from its former excruciating level, but would persist quite strongly, along with the awful sensation of being trapped, for several hours to come. EmLee withdrew from his mind and opened her eyes. She curled up into fetal position, hyperventilating. “That,” She said in a strained tone, “was not fun. I think I’m going to go and take a nap.” On her way to her room, she decided to take a quick detour to add her name to the research team sign-up.

Quote Alright, I'm going to skip past the Nath thing with the assumption that he pulled away from Tacien's mind before it was potentially damaging.
