Derivan stared at the inky darkness in front of him. It was familiar, actually. Derivan recognized now that he'd encountered such pure darkness before — when they'd recklessly crashed into the dungeon in Misa's bonus room as it was experiencing a dungeon break. It was where they'd first encountered a Reality Anchor. He wondered — for a single, absurd moment — if he was in front of the void where Elyra's Reality Anchor was obtained. But no, that didn't make sense; there were none of those strings of…-

To say that the hall erupted into chaos would be a bit of an understatement. It wasn't that anyone attacked — far from it. No one seemed remotely interested in attacking Vex, for all that their immediate reaction had been to raise their weapons. Half the priests were whispering amongst themselves, glancing at one another surreptitiously; the other half were staring raptly at the king, waiting for him to give a response. And the king, in turn, stared at Vex like he had no idea how to respond. "What do…

"What... are they?" Vex tried to keep his curiosity and excitement at bay; something about this still felt... off. For one of them, at least; closer inspection showed that one of the three root-tangled books had slightly rotten leaves, and a weaker core. It was... strange, and it made him hesitate. "They are new books," Isolis said, heedless of his thoughts. "There have not been new books here for a long, long time. It was a joy to find these here. And yet behind them..." Very gently, Isolis plucked out…

"Why... is this slope... so Talking to himself helped him feel better, but changed nothing about the fact that he'd been climbing up a steep slope for "Where is this even going?" Vex grimaced. He dug his toes into the wall — the slope was soft, at least, and easy enough to make little footholds on. It really was getting steeper; he wasn't exactly climbing There were spells he could use to help himself. He'd tried a couple of them, even. There was a small glyph he could paint on his hands and feet…

Misa's awareness of her prime self faded. Something about the buzzing in the air drew her attention to this path — it wasn't that she didn't recognize she was still safe and sound in the middle of the Roads, but the more she went down this path, the more she found she couldn't split her focus. She was That, thankfully, didn't seem to be the case. But the situation she was in didn't seem to be much better. The buzz continued to trickle under her skin, intensifying with every step. She didn't know if…

Five. She was Something felt wrong, though. An unpleasant buzz trickled under her skin from the moment she stepped into the tunnel. Five glanced back and felt her heart skip a beat; instead of a tunnel behind her, leading back where she'd come, there was only a blank wall. She ventured down the tunnel anyway. The Roads weren't giving her much of a choice otherwise; the best she could do was try to be careful. She tried blocking, just in case there was some sort of invisible spell being used on her —…

"Alright, now I just gotta choose a path..." Misa stared at the five split paths in front of her. Each path seemed almost entirely identical, and even the small differences they did have were entirely cosmetic. It wasn't like a scuff on the dirt of the tunnel was likely to be relevant, and even if it was, she had no way of knowing In theory, she had no way of knowing what was at the end of each path. In She did still have Endless Echoes, after all. She could see gain information from her alternate…

Time splintered. In front of Sev stood an older man — mid-forties or mid-fifties, perhaps. He wore the flowing robes of a priest of the God of the Sun — with the full title capitalized in his head, even, because he couldn't " And it was the truth. The man led an army. Tempus led Sev high up into the sky, so he could see the battle for himself; there was at least a thousand men, if not more, involved in an outright What he did see was that none of them died — no matter how hard they were…

The One for Aurum, and another one for Onyx. The one for Onyx was stronger by far, and he tried to model the new connection he was forging based on that. A hint of divinity, guided by a whisper of prayer... Sev didn't remember ever having a skill like this. He didn't know it was possible to lose skills in the first place. First, a prayer. The God of Time went by the name of Tempus. Sev knelt carefully on the prayer mat, paying attention to the soft crackle of the threaded bamboo beneath his knees, to…
