"I thought he was gone for good this time. I really thought...I thought I had finally escaped my past." "You don't need to escape, Mark." His Spren said from the ceiling above, one of the only times it had chosen to truly speak instead of speaking into his mind. And... Mark was pretty sure that this time, Meryin had spoken audibly to the rest of the room.

Scars of Hathsin he/him Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) Dougella collects herself. Before starting her story. The words coming to her brain and out. Flowing. "During the escape from the arena all of those years ago, when I had fallen during the battle with the peacekeepers, my soul, or should I say, my cognitive aspect left my body. She lets that settle in slightly. These past few years I have been researching all ancient sources, this cognitive aspect is one of three. Physical, Cognitive and Spiritual. These bodies are aspects of the three realms, people with powers like mine However while I was in this state, I was met with a being. A being that called themselves the Stormfather. Apparently he used to be on another planet, and was exceedingly powerful, the storm incarnate, and giver of the mythical bondsmith powers." The books she had been reading through the years come back in more strength before, seemingly invading her mind, What the? she pushes them aside. "This creature, of spren, has been damaged somehow, in an exponential way. Books talk about his storms giving investiture, but he does not do it anymore, like someone had ripped a piece out of him. We ripped a piece out of him" Thank you a small voice breezes through the back of her mind. However she was not finished.

I would pry open that gate with my bare hands again and again if I had to." She shook her head, hair bouncing, "No, darling, to be revolutionary is to be free."
