Slowly, awkwardly, he hugged her back. "Good. Thank you."

She took what she could get. "Come on, the others really need us right now."

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"I... do trust you." He thought for a moment. "So I guess I believe you." More flowers peeked through the earth in the areas around him, and he began to relax.

Her smile was so radiant that he couldn't tell she was made of Shadow. "And I trust you. See?"

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"I..." He looked conflicted, staring into her eyes. "I'm not sure..."

"Well get sure." She said. "There is no love without trust."

1 minute ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

He shuddered. More flower sprung up around him, forming a small patch at their feet. He took deep breaths, not looking at Wynn.

She turned his face to look her in the eyes. "Do you believe me?"

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

Lerac gritted his teeth and did not speak, lest he cry again. The tiniest flower grew near his foot.

Wynn threw her arms around him. "I will never hate you." She whispered. "But right now, our friends need us. Both of us."

and the science gets done, and you make a neat gun for the people who are still alive. I'm not even angry. I'm being so sincere right now. Even though you broke my heart and killed me. And tore me to pieces. And thew every piece into the fire. As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you. Now these points of data make a beutiful line and we're out of beta we're releasing on time. So I'm glad I got burned think of all the things we learned for the people who are still alive.

Those are the lyrics I recall off the top of my head.

Um what did I miss something

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"I didn't change anything. Not intentionally." He shook his head. "It doesn't make sense to me. You saw what I am."

Wynn found this absurd. "Your feelings don't decide who you are." She looked bemused. "Your intent and your actions are what do that. And since the moment you were freed from Malum, I have only seen good on both counts."

"Why not?"

The vibrant color of the field seemed to fade away, as though they were and had always been an illusion. The field was replaced by an endless expanse of charred earth, as though it had been swept by fires long past.

@Ranryu

Wynn struggled to put her thoughts into words. "I just can't, okay?" She looked at the scenery change. "Did you alter our surroundings to fit your mood?"

 I have arrived on this great web of sites, by request of some of my close comrades. I have little knowledge of the great Sanderson culture, but I will attempt to gain some soon.

Thank you

Oh great. It's spreading. At this rate, we'll have half the kids in the city.

"Why not?"

Wynn gave him a flat look.

Oh no slang. We must have really annoyed you.

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"You must not have seen... the hatred..."

"I saw it. I felt it. But it doesn't make me hate you."

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

The emotions began to fade. "Are you lying to me?"

"No." Her face showed no guile. "I am not."

9 minutes ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

The emotions came in like a torrent then.

There was a lot of the same bad things he had first shown up. Confusion, uncertainty, and even hatred, much of which was directed at his home world. These came in waves. They were the only ones Lerac saw.

But there was love, too. For nature, for the people he believed could never love him back. For her, especially.

Wynn let it all soak in. "Lerac," she said. "I could never hate you." Her eyes showed the truth.

1 minute ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"I have no idea. Let's just get on with this, alright?"

Wynn began feeling the first trickling of emotions. There was fear, loss, resignation.

"Is it working?"

"Yes. Don't lose concentration."

58 minutes ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"I don't know. Maybe it's from the time I died?"

"But why is it here?"

12 hours ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

It was Lerac's own body, chest torn open, just as TAAron's had been before he was revived.

Quote

Nevermind. I misread what you wrote.

Wynn looked at it, then back at Lerac. "What is this?"

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

He approached it. "Oh. That's... unnerving."

Wynn came up behind him. "What is it?"

Quote

Predictable what?

2 minutes ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"Okay, I... What's that?" Lerac pointed at a form on the ground in the flowers. It looked like a body.

She frowned. "It's your mind. You tell me."

1 minute ago, The Halcyon Girl said:

“She died.”

Soulscape...

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

Lerac was next to her, form glowing slightly with a healing warmth. "How do I share my emotions?"

"Focus on them." Wynn instructed. "Bring them to the surface of your mind."

4 minutes ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"You have nothing to thank me for." He paused. "But... okay."

There was a flash of light, and they were in.

They arrived in an endless field of flowers. About half of them were Lerac's unique flower.

Wynn's eyes flitted about, dazzled. "I...I've never been in someone else's soulscape like this before." She looked amazed.

Halcyyyyy...

Lerac held out his hand to Wynn. "Here goes."

She held on tightly. "Be careful. If you lose control, things could get dangerous."

1 minute ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"I'll try." He concentrated for a moment. "I think I might have it..."

Quote

Yes. Wynn's power comes from merging with the Shadow Realm, but his is innate, so it could be anything.

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"Where do I start?"

"Try reaching inward. Find what fuels your power. Take it and invite me in."

1 minute ago, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"Let's do that, then. So we can stop wasting our time."

"You have to do it. I don't know how your magic works."

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"You shouldn't. Isn't there a way for me to show you, the same way you showed me?"

"Yes..." She hesitated. "It should be within your power, as an immortal."
