Laelanith's projected thoughts seem to create a small spherical safehaven as well. It appears the telepathic communication is causing their thoughts to become physical enough to carve through the layers.<br/><br/><em>~In that case, if you are lost, I am helping you. We are finding the way to your home, through to safety.~</em><br/><br/>It seems rather odd that they are 'speaking' in a constant present tense. Not "I will help you", but "I am helping you." Perhaps they have spent some time here.<br/><br/>As she cautiously moves, she sees a horrific sight, because she sees the creature that is thinking towards her. Except she first sees its future, and as it steps into view, more of its timeline becomes visible, including the past, where it slowly transformed in this realm far worse than any other. In the not-now that happens before now, it is a human. But in the now that is now...<br/><br/>Its skin is a dark purple, with magenta veins running through it. Its hard, rubbery skin is coated in a thin layer of slime, like a thick lubricant, and its eyes are pure black, almost lifeless, or sucking knowledge in. The face has four long, phallic tentacles extended from it, with small, spinelike suckers. It otherwise seems to be humanoid in appearance, considering that it once was one...<br/><br/><em>~Apparently I am doing a great deed for my kind. I am succeeding in sending my kind back, so that we are still in control of the situation, so that the insane ones are not slaying us and dooming the entire world across all planes. I enjoy this thought, though I do not know precisely what it is I am doing that triggers this. Therefore, I am observing you as I help you escape.~</em>
