<b>OOC</b>: I took some liberties with the opening narration. Feel free to add more detail or change the circumstances of your entries as you like.<br>
<b>Time</b>: ???pm<br>
<b>Weather</b>: comfortably cool with mostly overcast skies in twilight and mist<br>
<b>Cooldown</b>:<br>
<b>TLDR</b>: The characters, each for reasons unique to themselves, find themselves in the soulbound forest, trapped. Aside from the forest itself, there are many things within that give one reason to be here. The characters will have their own pursuits, some of which may intersect or conflict with the others. The characters are presently all stumbling, tumbling and otherwise appearing in the same crossroads of the forest within eyesight of each other.<br>

In a world where shadows whisper tales of forgotten realms and the moon hides secrets within its craters, our band of wanderers find themselves drawn to the enigmatic whispers of the Soulbound Forest. A place of ancient spirits and time-bending flora, where echoes of the past intertwine with the tendrils of the present, each whispering their own melody of long-lost tales and forgotten power.<br>
<br>
Rios, a young man with dreams as vast as the skies and a resolve as fragile as glass, finds himself called to the whispers of the ancient warriors, their spectral hands beckoning him forward, promising the strength he so fervently desires. Every broken shard of his equipment sings of the possibilities within the enchanted boughs of the forest.<br>
<br>
Tupu, the hybrid wanderer with the scales of dragons whispering in his veins, seeks the companionship of the legendary creatures and the bonds of the unknown. His steps are light, following the murmurs of powerful entities and mythical allies hidden within the green labyrinth of shadows and secrets.<br>
<br>
Amelia, the neko with nobility dancing in her feline eyes, is drawn to the forest by whispers of realms where lineage is but a whisper in the wind, where her blood could sing the songs of royalty. The ancient ruins seem to hold the power and prestige she longs for.<br>
<br>
Morrigan, the newly birthed entity with the universe’s enigma wrapped around her essence, traverses the whispering leaves seeking the knowledge of life and existence. The soulbound spirits seem to hold the keys to the mysteries of creation and the symphony of the cosmos.<br>
<br>
Todd, the wolf like beastman with a heart woven with the threads of compassion and aid, steps softly through the underbrush, hoping to soothe the wailing spirits that called to him and free them from their eternal chains. Every plea from the bound souls strikes a chord within his noble heart.<br>
<br>
Merrill, the tiefling with the swarm of the insect realm dancing on her arm, is drawn to the unique song of bugs within the forest, seeking their secrets and wisdom. The Chronoferns and unseen insects hum the tunes of uncharted knowledge and arcane secrets.<br>
<br>
Zolgen, the demon with the shadows of violence and power enveloping him, sees the forest as a sanctum of forbidden strength, the spirits whispering the forbidden dances of combat and magic. The ruins of Aether seem to hide the crimson secrets and dark whispers he craves.<br>
<br>
Zohar, the otherworldly human with goals so grand, finds refuge among the whispering shadows and trees from his relentless pursuer, Nephilim. The arcane energies and the shadowy pools seem to hold the dark harmonies and painful melodies he seeks to compose.<br>
<br>
But, as they traverse deeper, the forest weaves its enchanting web around them, trapping them within its whispering leaves and shadowy boughs. A spectral light dances before them, a wisp of forgotten times and unsung legends, leading them through the labyrinth of whispers and shadows, drawing them to the heart of the enchanted forest and to each other.<br>
<br>
Each step unfolds new mysteries, each whisper holds new promises, and every shadow hides unknown dangers. The forest seems to be alive with a forgotten tale in an unread book, demanding their attention, drawing reactions from their very souls.<br>
<br>
The air, laden with golden mist, hums with the whispers of yore, its radiant strands weaving tales of ancient realms and hidden fates. The eternal twilight bathes the realm in a dance of dawn and dusk.<br>
<br>
The colossal guardians of this realm, the Warden Trees, reach skyward, their silver leaves whispering the symphonies of bound souls, while their twisted roots intertwine in intricate patterns above the forest floor. Each leaf, a whisper of a long-forgotten tale; each root, a memory of times long past. The luminescent fungi and radiant blossoms lend their ethereal light to the mist at twilight, whispering secrets and casting shadows of ancient, haunting beauty.<br>
<br>
To the left of many of the characters gathered, the Spectral Falls cascade in luminescent whispers, murmuring glimpses of realms unseen and times untraveled. It's here where the fabric of reality weaves its delicate dance, where the threads of fate intertwine in the shimmering cascade. The characters can see glimpses of other realms, each droplet a mirror reflecting an aspect of the cosmos.<br>
<br>
Within their sight, a cluster of Whispering Willows sway, their branches weeping the tears of the forgotten. The murmurs within the willow's embrace seemed to beckon to some with promised knowledge.<br>
<br>
In the distance, the Elysium Meadows sprawl in a sea of golden flower petals, and the spirits of the forest waltz in silence. The bound souls converse in hushed tones, sharing tales known only to them, their whispers a delicate bond of knowledge and alliance.<br>
<br>
The wanderers looking around further might also spot spot other entities of this realm such as Lumina Deer with antlers of light acting as guides to lost souls and forgotten places, Wraithwolves, shadows of protection, guarding the sanctity of the forest while they lurk in the underbrush and roots, Specter Owls, with eyes that dance through time, suggesting hidden truths and forgotten events, and Soulbound Sprites, tiny luminous puffs of the bound souls.<br>
<br>
The air is filled with the fragrance of Wisdom Blossoms, the nectar of which promises enlightenment, while Mirror Orchids reflect the observer's own desires and fears, their petals putting the worth of one's own soul on display. The Chronoferns release their spores in quiet puffs, their spores promising time.<br>
<br>
The ever-shifting labyrinth of the forest  would prove daunting to some, its changing not quite imperceptible, while the shadow pools, like the falls, speak of other realms, their dark waters a gateway to unexpected journeys and diverse experiences.<br>
<br>
The ancient, ethereal ruins of Aether whisper secrets of a civilization long forgotten, their stones a canvas of exploration and discovery, while the Crystal Altar, a beacon of luminescent magics, calls as a communion with the essence of the forest and a stage for rituals of unseen consequence.<br>
<br>
All characters would find themselves present or becoming present in a crossroads where paths through the wood intersect. From this point the party makes note of the various spectacles around them as described above. It is up to each individual how they will get out of this place or if they would even want to.</div>

TL ; DR- Zohar escapes his pursuer wandering into the Soulbound Forest. After stumbling his way through he comes to an epiphany while gazing into the waters of the Spectral Falls. Then encounters the rest of the group introducing himself to them as well as calling attention to the labyrinthian nature of the forst.<br>​</div><span class="float-left"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/inked__ayin_project_moon_and_1_more_drawn_by_cl0ckfly__sample-d6f86e217a54231dd4c15b91d6be5962-jpg.1116902/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1054/1054032-1ae6330ead312ba75451b4e0d2fdab04.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Inked__ayin_project_moon_and_1_more_drawn_by_cl0ckfly__sample-d6f86e217a54231dd4c15b91d6be5962.jpg" title="Inked__ayin_project_moon_and_1_more_drawn_by_cl0ckfly__sample-d6f86e217a54231dd4c15b91d6be5962.jpg" width="100" height="158" loading="lazy"></a></span><span style="font-family: 'arial'">A man made heavy footfalls through the forest, doing all he could to cross as much distance as possible. Rather than running it was more apt to say he stumbled and dragged himself forward leaning on trunks and grasping at any leverage he could to move forward. Grasping a branch far to wiry and dark to be a normal tree's he pulled himself up and pushed himself through luminescent bushes. Only for his form to flicker like a gold static causing him to fall forward to his knees. Rather than continue on he stayed on the ground breathing heavily, before casting his bright eyes behind him. He saw not a single outline within the woods he could mistake for a persons, yet still he stared as if the one he searched for would suddenly conjure themselves in the shadows. Fortunately no such thing happened.<br>
<br>
Remembering the one who pursued him even now his hand hesitantly went to his chest clutching for a wound he knew was no longer there. Yet the memory brought forth a tingling itch which lingered where his heart would be like a phantom. The remnants of the man he once was caused this feeling, even if logically he knew there was no reason for it. His nerves calmed quickly making way for peace; his analytical nature took over. Finally taking stock of the forest he had raced into. In a word, it was otherworldly. A sentiment that was ironic coming from him though he did not know that yet. There was nary a light from the sun above distorting the sense of time, the foliage was strange and unlike anything he had seen before. He was no botanist but it was like everything here was an imitation of a tree or a flower, but wholly different in both appearance and feeling. Just standing within the forest evoked something he had only felt once before. The rustling of leaves and general cacophony of nature had an order to it, a purpose that spoke to him like whisperers in his mind. It drew him in.<br>
<br>
His steps were heavy and the effort to move was difficult as if his body was burdened by a weight. He felt different strong yet weak, whole yet shattered. The man could only wonder if it was caused by that dangerous woman; who knows the full scope of the power she was given? All he knew was how effective it was as a weapon. His chest once again itched causing him to clench his fist. The image of her fingers pierced through his body manifested in his mind. He found the strength to move.<br>
<br>
Reaching deeper into the forest he looks back only to find an unrecognizable scene of boughs and leaves. He realized that he can no longer go back, only continue forward. If nothing else it also meant that woman would have a harder time tracking him down. He now considered this forest as some supernatural or extradimensional phenomenon, and made more careful steps rather than the desperate rush from before. Soon he finds himself beneath the boughs of massive silver trees. From where he stood he could see various environments and fauna. Each one more bizarre than the last animals that defied common sense and natural laws littered the terrain. Some resembled ones he knew while others he could scarcely guess as to what they were. With a wary expression he approached the Spectral Falls. Though he couldn't divine their true nature he felt drawn to them and the light they held within. Peering as close as he dared he swore he could see visions of something else within them. He could possibly tell more if he got closer but something told him not too. That is until his body once again shone with gold light and seemed to disappear for a fraction of a second before reappearing again flickering. He fell forward in front of a pool, he dry heaved as if he would hurl but nothing came out not even saliva. Instead his eyes shone gold as if in response to his plight, and then he found himself looking into the luminescent pool of water.<br>
<br>
He saw things within it, worlds and realms he did not understand moving by and too numerous to latch onto their meanings. His reflection stared back at him, black unkempt hair, a equally dark button up shirt oddly enough missing the hole he felt should have been over his heart, his lab coat white and pristine as it appeared in his mind and eyes that held within them Light. A color that was unfamiliar to him. Memories rushed to the surface of his psyche, ones he had forgotten or perhaps repressed. The "end of his dream" they rushed by and suffused him revealing to him the truth. A melody only he could hear, a dissonance only he could fix. The Light that was him. He rose his head, he wasn't alone. There were other beings coming from the shadows of the forest, some could be described as people while others monsters.<br>
<br>
The thing that was a man yet not raised itself from the dirt. His stance was different, his strength had not changed he remained frail. Yet there was a purpose in how he held himself a surety that was not there before. An utter lack of doubt in ones actions. His hands were in the pockets of his lab coat projecting a composed image. He stared at the gathering, each visage was vastly different from each other some more threatening than others and many were inhuman. There was silence, the tension that came from an unexpected confrontation no one yet speaking before the strangers in front of them. The man, the Zohar chose to break the silence.   </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><span style="font-family: 'georgia'">"This forest, is abnormal. The path I took disappeared, meaning it is trying to keep us here. Escape will be difficult alone likely for any of us."</span></span><br>
<br>
Zohars words were strange. He did not introduce himself, ask who they were, or even question them about their surroundings. He merely made an inference and shared it with everyone else leading them to make their own conclusions and decisions. Before injecting his own opinions. His form once again flickered like static, but this time it seemingly did not bother him as when the strange phenomenon was over he remained standing as if it didn't affect him.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"You can call me Zohar, a 'Healer'. You all may do as you will I will support your decision."</span></span><br>
<br>
This time he introduced himself, but once again his words were strange. Cryptic and somewhat vague. Zohar watched each of them intently, waiting for something only he could know of.</div>

	</div>This place was wrong, somehow. Todd had heard about locations such as this from the Doc back home. Places like this weren’t meant for the normal folks, be they man or beast, or even machine. No, this was a place meant only for the fae that naturally inhabited it, and the monsters who carved their own territory out of it through the expenditure of sweat and blood. The Kushtaka hadn’t realized that what had led him here was a siren’s song until it was far too late to back out. The path behind him had changed; the path had shifted, the trees had moved, all signs of his having previously been there were removed, and he could no longer retrace his steps.<br>
<br>
So, he had no choice but to press on, creeping carefully forward, making as little noise as he could. There were plenty of noises all around him, only half muffled by the plant life. Todd knew he wasn’t alone here. All around him, were various offerings and promises. Forbidden knowledge better left unknown, cursed wisdom to drive oneself mad, the stories of specters and windows into alternate worlds, ready to drive those who beheld them into obsession. The ruins of old civilizations, smothered in greenery, were testaments to the nature of this forest.<br>
<br>
Something was pounding its way through the forest ahead of him, more distinct than the other noises. The Kushtaka slowed to a halt, paw on his holstered pistol, and held his breath. Whatever it was didn’t break through the treeline, and so Todd slowly began to creep forward again. The source of the noise was revealed to be… A man?<br>
<br>
His image suddenly flickered and dissolved, only to reform again as if nothing had happened. So, no, not a man at all. A ghost? Or perhaps something much worse? It promised support, it gave its name, called itself a healer.<br>
<br>
“Friend, I think you’re long past the point when escaping would do ya any good,” Todd said, his voice a mixture of caution and concern. He eyed the man warily, but made no immediate hostile moves. If the man was a ghost, it wouldn’t be right to leave him here to suffer. Todd had no idea how one would go about performing an exorcism, but haunts weren’t all that uncommon around the village, and he’d heard a few things about the importance of helping spirits move on to the next world before they became dangerous and vengeful.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, if the man was a monster, well, Todd had his gun, and his two feet for running. And, seemingly, company as well, the Kushtaka could hear others approaching all around.</div>

tl;dr: Morrigan is born, figures out the nature of her birth and why she was born, walks around observing the strange forest, and then enters the clearing of the Soulbound forest to watch the group interact.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1696184165463-png.1116928/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1054/1054058-859b2317402cdf1f8550266c0fdcef98.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="1696184165463.png" title="1696184165463.png" width="100" height="128" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<i>Cold.</i> She thought. It was the only thought in her head, and it was her first thought, ever.<br>
<br>
<i>Cold: Adjective. A low temperature, a lack of heat or warmth. </i>Her second thought ever, and it wasn't her own. Categorical, factual. Knowledge that she didn't learn, but brought forth as if it she did, waiting patiently to be called upon.<br>
<br>
<i>Mother gave me the gift of knowledge.</i> Her third thought ever. Reverence to a higher power, understanding one's own strength, and gaining a sense of purpose. She felt as if she owed her existence and being to Mother, the Simurgh, an angelic creature of immense power and control. Memories that weren't her own flooded into her consciousness. Capturing the human Rey Andino to leech his ability, and removing any imperfection from his lack of foresight. Assembling the growth chamber within the ruins of a city she had demolished, calling forth various bits of technology to create her army of clones. Letting Rey Andino starve when he had served his purpose and waiting for her clones to gestate.<br>
<br>
Through her mother's memories, she saw herself, suspended in animation. Countless wings covering her naked form, eyes shut, hair drifting in the invisible current within. Then, a flash, and then this.<br>
<br>
<i>Cold.</i> She had been curled in the fetal position on the textured ground. Sound came from her movement, rustling. <i>Leaves. </i>She realized. <i>The product of common perennial plants ubiquitously referred to as 'trees'. </i>She lifted her head, her hair stuck to her cheek, still slick with the amniotic slime from the vat she was unceremoniously dumped from.<i> Trees</i>. She confirmed for herself, but their nature and type seemed to escape her. What were these trees? It's not like she knew the names of them, but she felt no connection forming in her mind, no name other than what the object resembled.<br>
<br>
<i>Strange tree.</i> She compromised, willing herself to become upright. More memories flooded her, the techniques of walking, running, and floating using her psionic might. Floating was Mother's preferred method of travel, and so that would be hers as well. She willed herself to float, to fly through the air, but nothing came of it, not even a single leaf rustled from her effort. <i>Frustration.</i> Her first new feeling: an emotion.<br>
<br>
<i>Why would mother make me like this? Do I not have her blessing? Was I made for failure?</i> More memories flooded her, her mother attempting and failing to comprehend humans in her first few days of existence. Her mother's silent vigil, staying entirely motionless for months until she decided on her own purpose, to kill as many humans as possible. <i>Understanding.</i> Her purpose was clear now, to understand for her mother, to expedite the process so her mother's desires could be fulfilled. She must learn, as Mother made her as human as possible to get a better understanding of her prey.<br>
<br>
For now, walking would need to suffice.<br>
<br>
She had no trouble standing, walking, or even experimentally running. Her actions were graceful and smooth, second nature to her. The many wings that sprouted from her body seemed to naturally move with her as well despite not putting any conscious thought into moving them, always covering her modestly. Her eyes were gray and cloudy, yet still gave her sight. She found it strange to use them, her memories had a dream-like quality to them that made them feel as if she were looking at things that were to be, not things that had happened. However, as she ducked underneath the swaying boughs of the strange trees, she found herself entering a clearing.<br>
<br>
<i>Pinnacle. Atrium. Center.</i><br>
<br>
The words entered her thoughts involuntarily as she roved her eyes over the view, from spirits dancing silently in reeds to a flowing gallery of pasts, presents, and futures from tales not yet known to her. She felt a new feeling, two of them in fact: <i>Tired and hungry.</i> She knew her mother would never suffer such contrivances, but she also knew she was made to be as close to her research subjects as possible, that something as simple as needing to conserve and replenish energy would factor into her observation and note-taking. Mother knew best, this must have been done with purpose.<br>
<br>
Others seem to have entered this Atrium before she had. One clearly appeared to have a shard. His eyes were golden, he stood with purpose, and then he spoke: an observation. One that she felt was accurate. She looked behind her and yes, she could not see the path she had walked down not too long ago. His form flickered, and she began to wonder what the abilities of his shard had to offer. Was it the shard of the warrior, or the thinker? <i>Involuntary.</i> His body language and how he ignored the flicker, rather than using it purposefully, suggested it was. <i>Thinker, he is afflicted with a shard of the thinker, surely.</i><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"You can call me Zohar, a 'Healer'. You all may do as you will I will support your decision."</span></span><br>
<br>
She found it odd how he put emphasis on "healer", or his passivity concerning the situation. <i>Animals do not enjoy being cornered or trapped.</i> She expected hostility, anxiety, or panic, but his body language and words did not present that. Odd. She felt the compulsion to speak as well, to be these things she had not yet experienced: amiable, friendly, misleading. A thought pushed itself to the forefront of her mind as a greeting almost manifested on her tongue.<br>
<br>
<i>My name is the Morrigan.</i><br>
<br>
Her brow furrowed at that. Why would she have a name, and why the Morrigan? Naming conventions dictate that titles begin with 'the', and not names. The man was not 'the Zohar', he was simply Zohar. <i>Why, Mother? What significance does this name hold? </i>Frustration came again, then faded to curiosity, contentment. Mother knew best, she would accept this name even if it didn't follow typical convention.<br>
<br>
Memories did not have a chance to flow as she observed another creature. Not humanoid, certainly. Mustelid, upright, walking on two legs. The biology of most creatures in the mustelid family did not walk on two legs, wear clothes, nor have the muscles to create facial expressions or balance themselves properly whilst walking on two legs. This creature clearly was not a mustelid in that regard, despite resembling one. Then, it spoke. A low, warning tone. Cautious, wary, not willing to seek trouble.<br>
<br>
“Friend, I think you’re long past the point when escaping would do ya any good.”<br>
<br>
Her eyes narrowed as he spoke. More anomalies. She saw it regarding an item around it's waist. Metal and wood, manufactured together into this shape. It was cautious and spoke only once. This must be a weapon. They were armed. The Morrigan refrained from approaching the two. If this form took fatal damage, she would fail in her singular purpose, so she watched, wings making her otherwise slender appearance much broader as they coiled around her. However, she estimated that if she were to stay silent, the chances of being attacked due to startling the two sentient creatures would be much higher than if she were to make herself apparent.<br>
<br>
Her many wings unfurled outward, a thin two left to cover her chest and waist, and she spoke the first thing that came to mind.<br>

<br>
Amelia had taken a detour on her way home after a long days work at the farmers market. Her mind still buzzed with prices and the various bartering that went into her profession. She wondered if someday her business endeavors would grow to match larger producers. Of course, she'd need more people, boats and ships to bring various ocean and river food to her market. <br>
<br>
Exhausted she thought to take a more serene path back home. Her body ached and she wondered when things would finally get better, she'd close her eyes and picture herself among lavish luxuries, warm baths instead of bathing in creeks, cooked food on plates instead of fire pit smoked fish. The neko sighed. Opening her eyes briefly before shutting them again as she walked, images would become much more vivid however, she pictures herself in a most delicate dress, dancing with a handsome noble. Before she knew it she was sort of swaying as she walked with a waltz in her step. "Lol. If only my life could be this sweet!" She said outloud, heedless of the shadows and whispers that pounced like cats in the forest. <br>
<br>
Soon she found herself going deeper into this seemingly self induced trance as she attempted a nobles accent with self amusement she began, "I'm terribly sorry my expensive slippers have exhausted me after this dance, surely there's another who would be most likely to dance with you." She grinned through her feline features, "I'm sorry? You want to go on a date? Pfft! L.o.l. you are certainly not my type sir I'm currently not even looking to complicate my life and share my wealth." She giggled to herself, "Are.. you crying? Awe." <br>
<br>
Before she could laugh out loud and likely embarrass herself she found herself in the presence of others in the forest, she looked back and realized she didn't know how far she'd come looking ahead she took a few steps back. <br>
<br>
"Uh.. hello?" She said a bit nervously, "This is weird am I dreaming or something? Whatever.. I'm Amelia."</div>

<span style="font-size: 15px">Aya had been on the way back to Nan Gau, traveling along the road she hadn't traveled before. The hunt she went on had been relatively uneventful; as she stepped into the forest, she saw the many shadows. The whispering seemed to permeate the air around her. Ignoring most of the whispers, she pushed down the path; after a few moments, she noticed everything was getting larger, and she felt much lighter. It was about that point she felt her katana drag across the ground and that was when it hit her. She quickly looked around trying to find any pool of standing water not wanting to step off the path. <br>
<br>
After a moment she gave up and then opened her pack and procured a wooden bowl before pouring some water in. Taking a deep breath, she looked down at her reflection and a gasp escaped her mouth. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"You have got to be kidding me! How does this even happen!?" </span>She shouted as she got smaller and looked far younger than when she first stepped into the forest. Her ears dipped down as she was rather annoyed about the whole thing her normally calm demeanor dashed and scattered to the wind. She let out a sigh poured the water back into the waterskin and then continued down the path very confident on finding a way out of the forest and hoping she would go back to normal afterwards. <br>
<br>
The whole forest felt wrong in some way, it was like things collided together that were not meant to. Resting her hand on her katana, she continued to follow the path. Eventually, further down she could see a crossroads. She grinned as she hoped that there would be a sign or something that could point her to a way out. She picked up her pace a little and as she got closer, she heard voices. One of those voices sounded familiar, as she got closer she saw Todd the weazle whom she had met several times before. There was however several others she didn't recognize and no one seemed to be fighting which was probably a good sign. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)"><span style="font-size: 15px">"Hello everyone," </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: null">Aya stepped out into the open and announced herself as she bowed and looked toward Todd man to which now she had to look up at most of the people. </span><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"I'm Aya, and would any of you happen to know what is going on in this forest? Also would any of you know why I seemed to have gotten smaller?" </span>She inquired as she looked around at the group. Though the being with wings seemed like the sort that would know what was going on in this place. It was about this time she let her hand drop from her Katana. There didn't seem to be a threat here but she kept her eyes and ears open. </span></div>

<br>
All the strange spectacles of nature in this labyrinth like forest while interesting, and they held the demon's attention for a period, they did not seem to be related to what he was most interested, the voices he had heard which got him here to begin with. Even seeing the imagery Zolgen wasn't particularly the type to give himself a retrospective about what he desired and what his fears were. His fear reflected was when the 'fun' would  come to an end and he would be forgotten. His desire was shown clearly in power and strength, overwhelming powerful enemies, taking from others because he was strong and they were weak, and generally doing as he pleased. <br>
<br>
The voices on the other hand  reminded him much of what he had heard when Shuten was hearing those voices speak to him about that powerful weapon..perhaps there was something similar here which he could take which would strengthen him if he could transverse these strange lands. Of course if the voices had just been lies then that didn't suite Zolgen very well and it was best he got out of there sooner than later, but if there was a chance that the ruins of Aether actually held what he wanted to further his purpose then entertaining the idea regardless of the risk didn't seem all too out there.<br>
<br>
Zolgen would eventually come into some sort of crossroad in the woods after traveling for some indiscernible amount of time..whatever this was perhaps some kind of pocket dimension  intended for Fae or something of the like. After walking into the strange crossroads Zolgen would eventually encounter the others. He was on the taller side so for some he was probably standing above them. For now he didn't have his swords drawn, instead the three on them were held on his back, his two larger cleaver ones and the more human sized antique one. Regardless he kept his five goblins close with him.<br>
<br>
He finally spoke, in common to the others who he saw..who at the very least were interesting many not human at all. Hearing what they had to say when he arrived, indicated that they were just as knowledgable as him as to why he ended up there like this or why the place was so strange.<br>
<br>
Zolgen gave a bit of a casual wave to the group around him speaking in a pretty casual tone too, <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Strange we're all arriving at this intersection, frankly I don't really know why this forest is the way it is, but It doesn't matter all too much to me, all I know is that these voices are telling me I can find something which I'm interested in here. Would that happen to be the same for what any of you are experiencing?" </span>He asked out of genuine curiosity. <br>
<br>
Zolgen wasn't really sure how these non-monsters were going to take to him, but maybe if he made it look like he didn't mean to hurt them at the moment at least , it wouldn't be too big of a deal. Of course he'd have no qualms about slaughtering them if there was a need for it, but for now he thought it might be interesting to learn more about them and the woods. Plus it'd be a lot harder if he had to try to take them all on at once, which attacking  one of them would no doubt do  for any of the combat capable there. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Don't mind my friends here, I can assure you they're loyal, and like I was getting too we were just passing through as I presume many of you were too."</span> Zolgen reaffirmed too while he was at it, since he knew very well Goblins might not be seen as the most friendly thing to have around to these non-monsters either.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b>Goblin Javelineers</b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-03-08-at-11-47-32-pm-png.1117016/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1054/1054146-a66ecab4ff39dc31e94da8f8d3151778.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-03-08 at 11.47.32 PM.png" title="Screenshot 2023-03-08 at 11.47.32 PM.png" width="140" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
The five goblins looked around curiously, with their spears in hand standing around Zolgen as if they were protecting him. Occasionally one snickered darkly, or sniffled, looking around every now and again, overall the Goblins just sort of looked like they were on alert waiting for enemies to show up. It was clear that they didn't dare do much of anything without Zolgen's input, as he had trained the bunch well at that point. They also weren't really the most talkative bunch since they hadn't really said anything so far since arriving along with Zolgen.</div>

Rios had sat by and watched as the various strangers had begun discussing matters among themselves. He'd found himself in this mysterious forest after attempting to purchase hair dye. After his last few adventures, the brown had faded away. Now his natural cyan hair was on full display. Rios had never liked his hair color, given that it was the exact same shade as his eyes. He had attempted to dye it brown when he left home. However he had only been able to afford a tiny bottle of dye that only colored half of his hair. Sighing while the one called Zohar introduced himself as a healer. The aspiring adventurer looked at his chipped weapon. All that physique training had led to him breaking every sword he got his hands on. Rios lacked any sort of formal weapon training, hence his decision to improve his body. He now had to pull his punches lest he break ANOTHER sword. His working theory was that they had been summoned here by the Fae. He recalled hearing about how they enjoyed pulling random mortals into their forests to screw with them. Any other blue haired boy would shiver in fear. Rios was actually pretty neutral on the whole thing. Sure, he was trapped here with a punch of strangers and whatever that multi winged angel monstrosity was. Alternatively, he could treat this as a field trip to an undiscovered and untouched realm of wonder. <br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">We just need to cut through this place... if we don't, we haven't cut hard enough</span>" said Rios under his breath. Standing up and drawing his sword from the back of his belt. Rios decided to try cutting things while the others hashed out a plan. Since his training in that goddamn hallway of shadows. He had been simmering in displeasure at how his sword had been unable to reach those formless foes. Walking over to a spot a little ways away from the group. Rios began swinging his sword. His eyes were focused on what was in front of him, his breathing was steady and the sword in his hands moved with the beginnings of technique. The memories of that day were burned into Rios's mind. He had elected to raid a haunted house so he could train against real ghosts. His sword moved through them with minimal resistance for the first few days. Ectoplasm was a hard scent to get off ones clothes. Once more hearing the voices of those ancient heroes, asking Rios to join them for training. Rios continued to swing his sword while imagining his blade cleaving right through them. Just like those ghosts in the haunted house, eventually his blade would reach them. <br>

<hr>Holy- Well okay. The first thing Todd noticed about their new arrival was she was gigantic. The second thing he noticed was that she was completely naked. The Kushtaka’s paw left his gun holster to rub at the back of his head, also blocking the new arrival – was she an angel? She certainly had that kind of look. Or perhaps a fae? That could potentially be dangerous for him if she was the sort that was easily offended – from most of his vision. He also turned his head away, rendering the lady completely out of sight to him.<br>
<br>
“Listen Miss, I’m real sorry if I stumbled into your turf,” the Kushtaka said, “Promise I don’t mean nothing provocative about it, I’m just a little lost, ya see?”<br>
<br>
They were quickly joined by others. First a cat girl that reminded Todd of some of the residents of Nan Gau. Next was… Wait, Aya? The Kushtaka turned to look at her more closely. Why was she… So little? And her hair had all changed color. Ghosts, angels, strangely familiar townsfolk, and now a lady he was friendly with, apparently reduced to childhood size? Were these real? Was this strange forest driving him mad?<br>
<br>
“Uh… Miss Aya?” Todd asked, then worked his jaw a bit while he tried to find the words he wanted to say next. Deciding that if he was going to go mad, he at least wanted have a nice time with his lunatic hallucinations – and there was still the off chance that all this was real and he was psyching himself out over nothing. “Ya see, this is a fairy forest, home to many fae. It’s a dangerous place for common folk like us, all sorts of weird and unexplainable things can happen.”<br>
<br>
Oh and then they were joined by a literal demon. And his gaggle of goblin groupies. If Todd wasn’t mad now he was going to be just from the stress of this whole situation. He never should’ve left Nan Gau, curse his wanderlust. Oh and there was another one, a human, by the looks of things, just over there swinging his sword at nothing. Okay Todd, deep breaths, this was all fine. He needed to keep his mind on more productive things. Once he’d found a way out of the forest, he could see a doctor about all this. Or maybe a priest.<br>
<br>
“For me, it was like someone was callin’ out for help,” Todd said, in response to the well spoken demon, “Sirens, I bet. Hear all about ‘em from the fishermen back home. They’ll sing ya whatever ya need to hear to draw ya in, then when it’s too late to escape they’ll gut ya.”</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b><i><span style="font-size: 22px">The Morrigan</span></i></b>​</div><br>
tl;dr: The Morrigan feels more emotions and is unhappy with feeling things that she thinks only animals should feel. She makes an observation on each character here aside from herself, then introduces herself and directly asks Todd for his name.<br>
<hr><br>
They were afraid. Confused. Some were happy, others were filled with a sense of purpose, or contentment upon seeing other humanoids that presumably recognized one another. That is what their actions presented to her. A new emotion welled in her stomach: pride. She had made an inference about the beings around her without her mother’s memories guiding her! Her purpose as a tool of her Mother’s will was being fulfilled. This was followed quickly by a very different, opposite emotion that seemed to drain the first out of her as she realized many did not heed her instruction. They looked to her warily, as if she were an 'other'. Fear? No. Animals felt fear. She was not an animal, she could not feel fear, and she would not allow herself to be an animal. It was <i>anxiety. </i>This new emotion made her feel as if she were locked in place, feet rooted to the ground. She questioned to herself if this was an acceptable emotion to have at this time, and why she was having it.<br>
<br>
Fleeting feelings of memory ran through her thoughts. Her Mother had never truly held a conversation with a human before, as most conversation was unnecessary. She never knew how to converse, only skimming the future to see what string of words would have the desired effect when spoken. The Morrigan had no such luxury, but her purpose was to learn, and she would fulfill her purpose.<br>
<br>
<i>I am not an animal, I am perfection. I do not feel negative emotions, I observe them.</i><br>
<br>
Her wings withdrew inwards, circling her form like many feathered halos that spanned from her waist and up. Observing meant that she would watch and make a mental note of what she saw. She saw that those here were confused, unsure of what to do. One blue-haired male had displayed signs of... mania? Why would he choose to swing his sword without a target? What purpose does that serve? <i>Practice</i>. Murmurings of escape were taking place and the one with the sword defined himself by his ability. This must be common for humans. Case closed, humans typically define themselves through their abilities. In this stressful scenario, he reverted to one of those abilities.<br>
<br>
More greetings. She did not like greetings, because it implied she would have to give one. No, she preferred observing, but that feeling again, anxiety. Why was she feeling this? She lamented being imperfect but held onto the feeling for examination, learning can come from anywhere.<br>
<br>
The creatures identified themselves. Zohar had already done so, the human male with golden eyes and an involuntary flicker from his shard. Research required. The creature who displayed more musculature and sinew than any other here identified himself as Zolgen, and made a remark about an entourage of lesser creatures. What was their relationship to him? They were smaller, but armed. Children would imply being the same species, which did not seem to be the case, but an argument could be made if more research on the subject was conducted. <i>Associates. Soldiers. Mercenaries.</i> Their defensive stance despite Zolgen's clear relaxed demeanor implied some form of bodyguard. Two very similar creatures both made themselves apparent as well, the white-haired cat-eared ones. The one with clear combat potential identified themselves as Aya, the lesser combatant of the two, Amelia. Did they have shards? She did not know the name of the not-mustelid or the blue-haired swordsman, but she came to the conclusion that if she too shared the name given to her, and perhaps gave some personal information, the group may give her the information about themselves she so desperately seeks.<br>
<br>
<b>"I am The Morrigan." </b>She spoke, her voice deep and low, yet feminine. <b>"I arrived in this place by walking, shortly after being born." </b>Factual. Accurate. Perhaps they'd feel more willing to share if she added an additional piece of information? She didn't understand facial cues well, but she knew that it was important to give information if she wanted to receive information. <b>"I was created to learn about humans and bring about their extinction, as per my Mother's wishes." </b>What was a proper way to convey her wish for information in return? <i>Ah, Mother has seen this interaction occur between humans before. I can imitate such a thing. </i>She clasped her hands together and gave a smile, the movement unfamiliar to her. She did not show her teeth, nor put much effort into the gesture, so the smile was slight. <b>"I hope we can find a way to return to civilization together, I wish to learn as much as possible from all present while we are here, and perhaps become acquaintances."</b> The anxiety again. She recognized why she felt it. <i>I do not know if my message of peace and friendship would be received well. Mother did not give me the tools to see their reactions to my words. </i>The frustration built up again before she let it go, her smiling face betraying little to the eye, turning to the upright otter. <b>"Please share your name, mustelid-creature. I wish to learn your name before the way out is revealed to us through this group's competent planning and execution."</b><br>

For the past two days Tupu had been wandering around the country searching for some damn old ruins that Crysanthara requested he find and search for any valuable artifacts. Two days he walked through this damn forest with little to no rest just cause he thought he’d be done by now. 12 hours into day 2 though and he’s just as lost as when he first arrived to this stupid forest which had him sit on a tree stump ready to give a nice long complaint to Crysanthara before he continued searching for the damn ruins because he refused to leave empty handed after this. Though during his small moment of rest he was suddenly alerted by a faint whisper by a ominously familiar voice in his ear calling his name which causes him to open his eyes suddenly and scan the area immediately. Upon reassessing his surroundings he notices he’s no longer in the same forest he was just in as the trees now sit much taller and look unreal in their silvery leaves and ethereal gleam as well as the air and lighting have a new hue of color as well as the smells of the forest now unfamiliar and near nerve-wracking due to the sudden change. Tupu takes a look around his newfound surroundings curiously but calmly saying with a relieved sigh “<b><i><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Bout time something happened.</span></i></b>” Tupu stood and made his way on a seemingly natural path that formed between the trees not questioning much of what’s happening as this is as excited Tupu’s been the past two days. While walking he hears random whispers in his ears that don’t bother him at first but become more and more irritating the more they interrupted his own thought process. Tupu is soon alerted to the presence of a group when he hears voices from afar as he wonders through the forest. The voices not having an ethereal and ghostly like the ones he was tormented by and less irritating like the ones his<b> [Heighted Senses: Hearing] </b>couldn’t help but pick up as he strolled towards the conversing group.<br>
<br>
Tupu emerges from the tree-line with a relieved expression but sharp gaze as he stares at the crowd individually saying casually “<b><i><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Excuse my intrusion seems I’m just as confused as the rest of you.</span></i></b>” Tupu gives an acknowledging wave with a more friendly expression after getting a good size up of everyone. Tupu looks towards Todd and says “<b><i><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">I’ve been hearing all types of stuff since I arrived here but I wouldn’t describe any of my experiences as a siren call though.</span></i></b>” Tupu then turns to The Morrigan giving a chuckle before saying in a sarcastic tone“ <b><i><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Well it’s a pleasure to meet you The Morrigan. Never thought I meet the being that’ll cause genocide of humans right after they’ve been born but first time for everything I guess.</span></i></b>” Tupu gives a genuine smirk that was obviously holding back a laugh as Tupu despite being used to this bizarre new world could never help but be more intrigued by each new adventure and the people he encounters. Tupu then turned among the group and said suddenly as he remembered he never properly greeted the group “<b><i><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Excuse my manners, my name is Tupu Maa but feel free to just call me T or Tupu.</span></i></b>” Tupu takes a slight bow towards the group his tall stature still looking down on some as he bows and as he arises he adorns a friendly smile not really having anymore input now.<br>

<hr>The angel – who introduced herself as “The” Morrigan – smiled. It was a kind of unnerving thing that didn’t reach her eyes, as if she’d seen the expression before but didn’t quite understand what it was for. But then again, apparently she’d only been born a few minutes ago? And her purpose was to kill all of humanity!?<br>
<br>
“Uh… Miss, see, the thing is,” the Kushtaka frowned. Even with The Morrigan using more of her wings to cover her form, Todd was still having some trouble looking at her directly while she remained naked, “Upstanding people generally aren’t too fond of that whole, uh, genociding thing.”<br>
<br>
She’d also asked him to ‘share his name’. Okay. That was a question Todd had to ponder because sometimes when a fae asked questions like that they meant them extremely literally. Like it was generally a bad idea to answer affirmatively to a fae’s request to ‘have your name’ because they would actually take it. Would ‘share’ have a similar connotation? Also, was this angel even a fae? He actually had no idea. Hell, it wasn’t uncommon for people to assume Kushtaka were fae – or even monsters! Stuff like that just generally wasn’t easily known at a glance.<br>
<br>
Also, Todd wasn’t sure he wanted to help lead a creature whose stated reason for existence was to study and eventually help bring about the extinction of humanity to civilization. Like that probably wouldn’t be a good thing, for him to do? On the other hand, he wasn’t exactly comfortable with the idea of pulling his gun and shooting the angel dead if she was – despite all appearances – a baby. Maybe interacting with normal people would do her some good and convince her not to go forward with her mother’s insane plans? Yeah, he’d go for that for now.<br>
<br>
Anyway, they were soon joined by another man, one who could’ve passed for human were it not for the giant horn sticking out of the side of his head. And, well, Todd figured he couldn’t keep quiet about his name forever without looking like a crazy person, so, this seemed as good a time as any to give his.<br>
<br>
“Well, I’m Todd,” he said, pointing to himself.</div>

For a moment he said nothing, offering no response. Instead he merely gauged the expression of wary and perhaps pity upon its face. Zohar did not possess the context behind the bipedal otter-like beings words, but he could make some estimates. He almost wanted to laugh he stifled it, only allowing himself a small humourous smile. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><span style="font-size: 15px">"If that is what you believe, then it may be true."</span></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">Zohar remained consistent, consistently vague that is. His words could be interpreted in any way one desired. They didn't deny or accept, simply existing exactly as they were. He radiated an utter lack of hostility and made no moves to correct this. It wasn't like he was much of a fighter in the first place. Most experienced combatants could look at him and likely come to that exact conclusion. <br>
<br>
Golden eyes refocused elsewhere as the sounds of the forest gave way for the disorderly arrival of a foreign body. Besides the creature he had spoken to there were others arriving around the same time, seemingly lead here by the forest just as he was. One appeared human but was covered by an array of wings. It, or perhaps she watched them; Zohar in particular. Yet spoke not a word. Zohar looked back at her his gold eyes meeting her gaze. He began to wonder if she was affected by some sort of Anomaly.</span></span><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'"> Similar to his pursuer, and himself. If nothing else he felt something almost familiar about her. As her wings unfurled showing more of her bare body, she spoke aloud. A line one could find in a holy book. Solidifying how similar she was to the classical angels. Zohar deigned only to observe her.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">The others ranged from what appeared to be regular people, while others resembled mutants. Animal features, and inhuman features were abound. One spoke politely enough but was taller than many of them, had the skull of a deer or ram, and a muscely body which seemed to promise only violence. The twin swords in its hands did nothing to help the matter. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">At first Zohar believed them all to be the survivors of some particular Wings experiments on humans; it wouldn't be the first time he'd seen a person altered so heavily by one of the corporations. But he had never seen anything quite like this and not with such a diverse range. Unless this forest was somehow a dumping ground for the Cities undesirables; that would explain how he got here. But another part of him thought the truth was something else entirely. He listened intently to the others as his mind churned in the background. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'arial'"><span style="font-size: 15px">Finding that even his thoughts felt strangely, "open".<br>
<br>
Zohar was content with merely listening and watching the various individuals. Finding the situation interesting if difficult to grasp the nature of. He knew they were trapped and that the forest had called them here itself, for what purpose he couldn't surmise. But based off the words of the others the forest drew them with their desires even if they weren't fully aware of it. It was likely the reason he had been brought here as well, he desired an escape and it was granted to him. He narrowed his eyes as he contemplated deeply on the influence from the Spectral Falls. It had stirred memories in him, things he had somehow forgotten or perhaps avoided. It had reminded him of his dream and what he must do to attain it. A system he was familiar with.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Aya, was it?"</span></span><br>
<br>
The golden eyed man entered the ongoing discussions particularly with the fox-like girl Aya. Stepping forward, his hands remaining in his pocket almost flippantly. He stood over the now pint sized fox girl coolly scrutinizing her.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"If your form has indeed changed then this forest is almost certainly the cause. Whatever the origin of the anomalous properties of this forest, the result remains the same. And if it is as dangerous as Todd surmises then working together would be your best chance to regain what you lost."</span></span><br>
<br>
Zohar gave a logical evaluation of Aya's situation laying it all out for the fox girl to understand. He mentioned the otter-like creature Todd, though he had only just now caught his name. Though his next words would be projected for everyone to hear.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"We seem to all have experienced the same phenomenon. Suddenly arriving in this forest through various mediums, perceiving a "call". One that appears to cater to our desires; things which would be enough to draw us this deep in. As well as the path we came through distorting entirely, trapping us in here through a maze of trees. My working theory is that the forest will only open itself back up through fulfilling whatever purpose it brought us here for."</span></span><br>
<br>
With a nonjudgmental but no less piercing gaze he stared at the young blue haired man cutting away at the trees that surrounded them.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"In this predicament one may choose to struggle, but as this forest has indicated possession of at least a rudimentary will. We may find our struggles yielding little."</span></span><br>
<br>
It was evident who Zohar was speaking of, but rather than express exasperation or contempt he simply used the actions taken to formulate a conclusion. He once again offered his support though this time through his opinions of the state of affairs, something he had held back from sharing till now. Still he gave no orders or set a hard line, doing all but taking charge. Zohar simply gave what they asked and let them handle it how they wished. The ice between them all seemed to have been broken now as words flowed more freely and some measure of tension eased. Zohar saw no need to reiterate satisfied with what he had done. Doing his best to array the pieces of this puzzle in a way in which it could be solved. Either way this went so long as he survived the result would be favorable to him. However the words of the winged feminine creature "The Morrigan" stirred him from his neutral stance.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"A newborn speaks of something as ambitious as 'human extinction'? It is only natural for the child to follow the lead of the parent, but yours has given you an unacceptable burden. Suffice to say your ignorance is apparent. If you were human I would understand and leave such an ambition be. But that is a consequence of decisions that only a human can make. An entity that isn't human shouldn't entertain thoughts that only a human should have."</span></span><br>
<br>
With narrowed eyes and an intent gaze Zohar approached The Morrigan speaking aloud his feelings on the matter rather frankly. Hid body flickered actively as if responding to his words. Though even now he expressed no malice, anger or hostility. He continued to speak as if he were a partially invested bystander.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Morrigan, my dream is to 'save humanity' because of that I cannot allow you to pursue your mother's task. Not as you are. If you are a threat I will destroy you to stop that from happening, no matter what it may cost. So continue to learn, study humanity intimately till the barriers between you and them are eroded. Till you yourself can be considered human. Then you would be bearable, and I could allow your goal. Perhaps I shall even observe your journey once we leave the forest."</span></span><br>
<br>
Zohar spoke evenly offering his words as if he were helping a child learn a lesson he had long since understood. He even wore a light smile something that seemed both his trademark and something he gave out sparingly. His threat was delivered without intimidation, more akin to an observation of cause and effect. If The Morrigan would follow her goal without proper consideration Zohar would act, that's all there was to it. He then stepped back simply moving on to what mattered in relation to their present. Rather than an uncertain future. Zohar saw nothing strange about what he just said nor did he seem to place much importance on it; he had said his piece. Then placed his attention back on the group.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"You may call me Zohar, Tupu Maa."</span></span><br>
<br>
With that sparing introduction Zohar began to observe the foliage and other happenings of the forest trying to gleam some understanding. Particularly by observing if the "call" he felt was trying to lead him to anything in particular.</div>

<br>
As reality appeared to set into the half beast's mind it became clear that this was an intentional meeting. <i>But why me? </i>She wondered in silence as she looked back from the path from which she came. Could those daydreams have actually been some sort of enchantment? She could only assume as wondering would only yield more questions. <br>
<br>
Amelia would then lean her delicate shoulder on a tree as she crossed her arms. Everyone was intent on trying to figure out why and for what reason they'd had been summoned. The demon was instantly the most threatening looking, as his steel swords seemed to glisten without the sun and his impish minions appeared eager and on the brink of madness. Before she could speak however the sword clad demon spoke, his words were actually rather insightful as he figured that cooperation through information was likely the best way to obtain what he desired. Amelia, still leaning upon the tree took a few steps closer. "Desires!" She said as she snapped her fingers. "That's it! We're being brought here by whatever desires it is we wish." However she wouldn't dare to express what she desired. It was a dream to her, beastfolk could never be more than what they were, at least within human society. The life of nobility was far from her reach, however was she truly destined to a life of hardship forever? <br>
<br>
It was then that a most disturbing image perhaps even as much as the demon would overcome her sights. The winged creature that presented herself only as the morrigan appeared before the forming body of would be adventurers. She took a few steps back and covered a gasp which escaped her lips. She began to speak, and then that of the extinction of humanity which shocked her further. Once again her inquiry would be covered by the one named Zohar, if this Morrigan was night then it would very much appear that Zohar was day.  Yet perhaps that was assuming a bit much for the brief time they'd have spent together thus far. <br>
<br>
She turned to look at the demon, attempting a smile as she gazed at the empty metal helm over his head. "Hey! Uhm.. the names Amelia or whatever.." then waving at the uneasy goblins a little uneasy herself she waved. "Hey!" <br>
<br>
"You spoke about interests just now. Yeah?" She nodded as if agreeing for him. "Well what was it that you desire?" The fingers of her large mechanical claw like gauntlets entwined a bit with curiosity.</div>

While Zolgen was interested in the others who came, since there appeared to be many there now, the fact that beastman talked about the voices being like sirens and then, Zohar saying they all experienced similar things, perhaps except for the female who had apparently changed in appearance, Zolgen was feeling like the chances of him actually getting to explore some kind of powerful ruins were looking bleak now.<br>
<br>
However when he heard the Morrigan's explanation he let out a dark chuckle,<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "You remind me of some of the others I've encountered  on the dark continent speaking so boldly like that." </span>Zolgen said after turning his skull head to her. He would have probably smirked if it were possible but his supped up animal skull like head didn't really let him convey such facial expressions very easily.<br>
<br>
If only she knew the reason Zolgen was lax wasn't because he had bodyguards, in fact the goblins were nothing but tools to an end for him, granted tools that if he treated at least decent enough they'd continue to show their loyalty, but tools nevertheless and most definitely considered inferior to him if these died he could always get more to replace them when he got back to the cave complex.., but he was so lax because in part that's how he had disarmed a many of his  would be victims in his prior life..it was a habit at this point, but he was  also fairly comfortable  and confident after growing considerably in strength at that..<br>
<br>
Of course  some of these humans seemed like adventurer/hero types not only in their activity and behavior but some of their spoken words, which could perhaps prove to be a problem if they learned what he was and decided to fight but he would ensure they suffered if they had the gall to attack him. As much as he enjoyed fighting to the death as many of the next [monster], working together to get out of whatever this maze was, even if it was the less fun option, seemed to be the most viable.<br>
<br>
He then looked between Todd and Zohar, <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Sounds like It's unlikely I'll be getting what I thought I might by coming here then, unless whatever this forest is decides it'll grant our desires."</span> Zolgen said pretty casually all things considered.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Looks  like our best course of action is working to get out of this place  together then hm? If we're lucky maybe we'll find something of value on our way along..but I'm not feeling too optimistic now."</span> Zolgen grumbled a bit toward the end.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #b8312f">"With that said, has anyone noticed anything potentially useful  on their way here? Personally I saw plenty of strange things but If I'm being perfectly honest none of them stood out as being particularly helpful to our current predicament."</span> Zolgen asked the group at large, he somehow doubted it but it was worth a sot.<br>
<br>
He then looked to Amelia and once again found himself entertained  turning his head to face her.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "I don't know many of your kind who would talk to me so casually, Nice to meet you Amelia....as for my desire, for my kind,  obtaining  power is my way forward."</span> Zolgen said matter of factly.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"And what is it that you desire?"</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b>Goblin Javelineers</b><br>

While looking less threatening than Zolgen these goblins still had innately dark selfish hearts with a tendency to prioritize themselves.<br>
<br>
Despite this they seemed to receive Amelia reasonably well, perhaps because of the way Zolgen had reacted to her. For now they continued to be on watch until Zolgen needed them to do something.</div>

The group of characters found themselves in a forgotten corner of the woods, where time and reason dallied with each other, the crossroads. It wasn't just any crossroad, but one that bore a sense of weight and age. The air was thick, not with sound but with a hush that seemed almost sentient. An anticipation. The tall, ancient trees leaned in, as if gossiping quietly amongst themselves, whispering tales of travelers who once stood where the group now did.<br>
<br>
Zohar, who had experienced the pools of the Spectral Falls, stood with water droplets still clinging to his lashes, each one reflecting worlds unseen. When he had gazed into the spectral falls, it wasn’t just water he saw. The falls rippled with images, snippets of other realms, windows into forgotten times and glimpses of fates yet to unfold. Ethereal cities suspended in the clouds, lovers separated by cosmic chasms, and dragons coiled around the very bones of the world—all flashed before him in an overwhelming deluge. Every droplet became a tapestry of tales, weaving together the vast cosmos of existence.<br>
<br>
Despite being surrounded by the apparent wilderness, an uneasy feeling would grip most of them. The forest teemed with life, but it was an uncanny silence that prevailed. Shadows flitted between trees, almost forms of animals and beings of lore, observing the newcomers without making a sound. Every now and then, an eye glinted from behind a tree trunk or from within a thick bush, but it vanished as soon as one tried to focus on it. The animals—whatever they truly were—had decided to watch in silence, each breath held, every gaze unwavering. What few animals that willingly showed themselves or at least did not attempt to hide themselves were peculiar looking in form and movement. Seemingly of another world, they grazed in the underbrush of the forest.<br>
<br>
The soft, melancholic melody of water was omnipresent. Tiny rivulets snaked around their feet, a gentle caress of the forest’s tears. Little pools, clear as crystal, dotted the forest floor, reflecting the canopy above and occasionally, if you looked just right, something... more. All of it seemed to flow from the direction of the spectral falls—the source of Zohar’s visions. A continuous pour, a constant reminder of the power that lay just beyond their sight.<br>
<br>
And then there was the pull. An invisible, gentle tug. The edge of the woods was no longer just a physical boundary—it was the start of a quest, a beckoning into the deep, dark heart of the forest. As if the very trees and the silent animals were imploring them to delve deeper, to unravel the mysteries that the woods concealed. The path ahead seemed to shimmer, the air vibrating with promise and peril. The woods ahead was think and there were many dark patches where the dim twilight could not reach. However, the light of golden fields was barely visible down the long tunnel created by canopy and animal path.</div>

tl;dr: Tall angel lady regards everyone talking as an icebreaker, wonders what an icebreaker is, and assures Todd that she is in fact meant to destroy humanity. She considers petting his head before having a little bit of a retort to Zohar's comments on her probably not destroying humanity, saying he's illogical. She affirms her existence boils down to her purpose, then decides to go deeper into the forest down a path and invites people to come along.<br>
<hr><br>
Her reception was met with some amusement, some trepidation. Amusement wasn't bad, as long as she wasn't a constant source of amusement. For now, though, she realized she was participating in what was referred to as an "Icebreaker." She didn't understand why humans referred to this mild conversation as an "icebreaker", but she assumed it was some form of metaphor she didn't quite understand. <i>Breaking ice... Perhaps it was some play on words for human tribes who toiled together in the Arctic, breaking ice for survival. Yes, this made the most sense. Case closed. </i>With that solved, she allowed herself to chuckle with subject Tupu Maa, clearly another shardbearer. Her giggling was robotic at first, each "ha" verbally said, until she began to follow the cadence and rhythm Tupu set an example of, emulating him nearly perfectly. Again, that slight smile. No teeth, no smile lines, nearly no humanity.<br>
<br>
However, there were some murmurings she caught about... not wanting to extinguish the light of humanity forever? Odd. Very odd. Preposterous even. Such a thought never occurred to her and she began to revile it as it came to form in her head. Her smile dropped back to a neutral expression and her brow began to furrow slightly. <b>"No, I believe upstanding people would allow for Earth Bet, Earth Shin, Earth Cheit, and many other Earths to be extinguished of human life. My Mother knows best, which is the conclusion she has come to. I am merely a tool in that destruction brought about by my understanding."</b> That smile, again. That nearly-not-a-smile expression. It was coy, almost. <b>"I will note your empathy for other sentient creatures, Todd, even if you may not know them. I am sure some would consider it admirable."</b><br>
<br>
She considered patting the creature's head but felt a clear thought arise in her mind. Rude. She frowned a little as her first impulse was put to the side. <b>"I will pat your head another time, Todd. If my Mother deems your people worthy of genocide, I intend to kill you last."</b><i> Why did I want to pet this creature? It has shown trepidation and mild fear since my arrival, why would I willingly put myself in harm's way? </i>The thought stuck in her mind for a moment longer, then faded away. There was no need for useless thoughts right now, and she turned to examine the dancing spirits of the endless plains. A plan of action was necessary, the time to talk was coming to an end.<br>
<br>
The Morrigan's gaze found itself settling on the blue-haired man, chopping at the air when she heard a voice being directed at her, her head slowly coming to attention to the shardbearer from earlier, Zohar. Perfect. She'd get to learn more about this one! This is precisely what she wanted. However, his words seemed to catch her attention, words like <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"newborn"</span>, <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"burden"</span>, "<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">ignorance"</span> and finally <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"An entity that isn't human shouldn't entertain thoughts that only a human should have."</span><br>
<br>
She cocked her head in confusion but stayed quiet as he continued, eager to hear his reasoning. However, her mind found contradictions and inaccuracies in his words. <b>"Strange, Zohar."</b> There was no semblance of emotion, she spoke it flatly.<b> "You say you would have me slain for my purpose, yet also offer me aid in completing it, if I were to consider myself human."</b> She cocked her head in the other direction. <b>"That is contradictory, is it not? My Mother has known a great many humans who sought to extinguish all of humanity, and there are still many who are close to achieving that goal. My Mother has the foresight to ensure the 'human' element of failure is removed when I return home with my research."</b> She stated it as a simple fact. <b>"It was the purpose I was born with, and my sole reason for existence."</b><br>
<br>
The words made her ruminate on the thought for a moment, eyes narrowed at the ground.<b> "I must have reason to be born, and I know that reason. Therefore, I must fulfill it."</b> She affirmed to herself. <b>"It is a luxury that I have to be given a purpose so clear."</b> The smile returned.<b> "When we are to leave this limbo, I would not oppose you traveling with me, Zohar. However, if your goal is to end my life during our journey, I will not let you take it so easily." </b>There was little more to be said on the account. She turned her eyes to the path that had stretched ever onward into the trees, the endless, strange forest, to the unknown. She saw it snake outwards into darkness, and had decided that she would walk in that direction. Civilization would be somewhere, and in a place as nebulous as this, she was sure she'd find what she was looking for if she looked hard enough. <br>
<br>
Her feet began to step between the rivulets of water that tessellated through the soil toward the path into the forest. The time for action was now, but she wanted to ensure at least some of her chosen company came along with her. <i>For research. Only research. </i><br>
<br>
<b>"Feel free to join me Zohar, and others. If this forest is bound to our desires, I desire to see civilization once more, and company would aid in ensuring my visage does not frighten the locals." </b>Factual. Accurate. Fear and trepidation exhibited by this group upon her appearance would likely be multiplied if she met with a larger group. In addition, she didn't want to be alone. The warmth of others was a new feeling, but one she decided she enjoyed. <br>

Amelia chuckled softly as the goblin waved back however it seemed the others weren't as amused. She then pouted a bit when the bladed demon referred to her, it was almost not surprising someone so threatening would be searching for power. "Right, yes, of course." She replied nodding. "Do you have some sort of enemy you're trying to defeat? Revenge? Or perhaps just flat out hatred?" She chuckled at the end, it was more of a joke than an inquiry but her curiosity got the best of her. <br>
<br>
<br>
Then she would turn to look at the others, before being startled by Zolgens question. "O-oh me? You want to know my desire?" She stuttered a bit, "Well you see, it's kind of, well.. let's just say that my kind are not allowed to live the lavish lives of nobles." She attempted a smile, and shrugged. It was difficult to look at Zolgens empty and cold features. "Oh you know? Juicy grapes, fancy decor and surrounded by art and music. Hot days out on my own boat with all the luxuries of our wonderful world." Her tail would spiral and sway as she described her imaginary perfect life. "Oh I'm sure even you would enjoy that!" She then quickly stuttered, "Err.. I mean.. after you're powerful enough of course." <br>
<br>
<br>
It was then that something strange and void caught her catlike eyes. "What was that?" She exclaimed with a gasp as she nearly pounced on the shadow. Before she knew it, she felt surrounded as if the entire forest had suddenly come alive. "Okay, this is getting creepy." She muttered however her expression wasn't that of fear she was ready to take on whatever darkness dwelled just beyond her sights. Then another strange creature appeared to graze on the forest floor as it chewed whilst looking at the neko. "Hey you!" She called out, and the shadow disappeared. "Huh? Shy are we?" She expressed as her Magi-Tech gauntlets then rested on her hips. <br>
<br>
<br>
Shortly after something peculiar could be felt, and discerned by Amelia as the feeling of desire.The promise of fulfillment of a deep wish welled up within the half beast. Her expression see sawed  between determination and longing, she shook her head a bit and looked down as images and mystical visions reflected upon the suddenly dewy forest floor. "This place is really messing with my head." She said openly. "I want to know where this leads though." She made a fist and going against her better instincts she started towards the path the wilderness appeared to open before them. Looking back briefly, "Anyone else have better ideas?"</div>

<b>TLDR:</b> Zolgen notices the strange ongoings with possible animals,  responds to Amelia, agrees to follow Morrigan and Zohar on the path, Agrees with Amelia  and encourages her to come with them. States that there might be merit to further exploring the forest. Minor mental  thoughts on others present in scene. Zolgen and goblins ready to move with others.<br>
<br>
Zolgen could also feel the pull of the forest, this strange feeling he got..whether it was trick or not, despite the details he had heard which weren't the most promising..maybe there was a slight chance of there being something in this strange expanse, something of interest, after all this was surely a magic area with fae or something else of interest no doubt. Perhaps they could lead him to what he desired. He felt more alert if he managed to notice the animal like beings taking note of the group, feeling like he was ready to grab his swords at a moment notice should the situation require it. It looked like Amelia was feeling it too given the way she reacted to the surroundings.<br>
<br>
<i>maybe there's something here yet.. </i>He thought to himself softly, in the monster tongue. Perhaps the pieces would fall into place yet. Granted there was some variance with what the one named Tupu called himself, his experience wasn't like a siren's call. And there was some change in appearance in another one..meaning the forest had potential effects they should be wary about.<br>
<br>
Zolgen looked to Amelia at the moment. He paused momentarily, before replying, <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"It's nothing as grandiose as that, I have a certain life style which I believe I've been given the opportunity to maintain, and I fully intend to do it, it's not only a matter of wanting, but it's a matter of necessity for my existence." </span>Zolgen thought that was a fair way to put it. Of course he wasn't about to openly admit with so many around that part of him also just enjoyed what power let him hold over others.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Of course. while not a primary motivator. I wouldn't mind evening the score one day." </span>not detailing it too much further. His past life might have enjoyed what Amelia described, who knew maybe even part of him now might, but even if he wanted too, Zolgen felt he'd be pretty hard pressed to find somewhere  which would be chill with a monster hanging out, eating good food and looking at fine art. Perhaps Zolgen would just need to take all the elements and subjugate those responsible for this environment she described  into accepting him.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Not bad aspirations by any means. It's nice you aspire to enjoy your life with finer things, perhaps you are right."</span><br>
<br>
<br>
While Zolgen had been more focused on his conversation with Amelia at this point, he did did respond when the Morrigan spoke and addressed everyone else, still finding the way she was interacting with others similar to how certain monsters he had  known did. He even resonated with some of the dialogue he had managed to make out. Zolgen too knew that he had an intended purpose and role to play since the God had given him this form in this world.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Very well, I'll join you and Zohar  through these woods, I believe it would be to our benefit to stay together, given how easy it was to lose our ways here."</span> Zolgen  replied to the Morrigan. Perhaps that one who had been swinging their weapon would come too and put it to use if necessary.<br>
<br>
 <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I too feel the strange effects of this place I feel like we're being watched, you should come too Amelia, we'll be stronger together. Your interest to explore is understandable even to me, there may be something of interest which we can only discover by further exploring this strange place." </span>He added in. Truthfully he didn't have better ideas at the moment,  but didn't feel the need to express that.<br>
<br>
For now Zolgen and the goblins were ready to move through the woods with those who would come.</div>

<hr>The ghost – Zohar – liked to talk in riddles. Or maybe it just liked to hear itself talk? Well, Todd supposed that, based on what he’d heard about ghosts, they never really could be straightforward about things. Still, it seemed cognizant of its surroundings and was responding to what they were talking about, so it wasn’t lost in its own memories and perceiving the rest of them incorrectly? Maybe it wasn’t a ghost at all, then, but some kind of strange fae or monster? It didn’t seem to care for the idea of humanity being driven to extinction… Or at least, not so long as it wasn’t another human doing the killing?<br>
<br>
Oh, and then the demon was speaking to him. Well, he certainly didn’t want to seem like he was ignoring the monster, or give it any other reason to get pissed off and draw its gigantic swords. So Todd folded his arms and listened.<br>
<br>
“Ain’t no use in trying to go back the way you came,” the Kushtaka said at the question of anything being noticed, “not only do the trees move, but the grass unbends, footprints get filled in, your whole trail gets obliterated.”<br>
<br>
It wasn’t a particularly hopeful observation, unfortunately. But, at least they knew they couldn’t trust their old paths, so the forest couldn’t lead them in circles that. For whatever that was worth. Well, the demon was soon distracted by the apparently fearless beast girl – Amelia? That left Todd free to focus his attention back on the genocidal angel.<br>
<br>
“Actually, miss, I think most right thinking people would, uh, share my level of empathy for their fellow sapients,” Todd said, with a slight frown. Wait, when did this become about petting him? And now she was on about genociding the Kushtaka too!? And then she was off, deeper into the woods, inviting the rest of them to follow along after her, Amelia and the demon following along after her.<br>
<br>
Todd turned to Aya, giving her a quizzical look that doubled as a silent question, <i>“what do you think?”</i></div>

TLDR: Aya responded to Todd and started to organize her thoughts on the situation at hand. She casusually threatened Zohar and use her Apprisial A skill to see his information but decides to keep quite about it. Before telling Todd her thoughts and following the group down the path. <br>
</div> <br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">Aya turned her attention to Todd as he spoke her name, <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Yes that would be my name Todd." </span>She turned to look at the group that had been assembled, and she wasn't sure what to think of them all. There seemed to be a creature that resembled an angel that wanted to destroy mankind; there was a large man with a skull on his head, which she didn't exactly trust. However, with the situation, there didn't seem to be any natural choice but to work together. She was pulled from her thoughts as a large shadow stood over her. Looking up to see who it was she saw it was Zohar.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"><span style="font-size: 15px">"I would advise you not to stand over me. I may be small, but I'm sure I can cut you up faster than you could do anything to me. I do have 9 tails," </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: null">Aya smiled as she calmly stated her threat as she didn't exactly like Zohar thus far from what she had seen. Opened one of her eyes as she was curious about his title, and used her Appraisal A to take a glance. Seeing the lost list of titles she decided to keep them to herself for the moment. However, there were going to be questions later when they got out of this forest. Bringing her hand up to her chin, she thought about the group momentarily. However, she couldn't help but feel that if she struck at the angelic creature now, it wouldn't threaten anyone. But there was a tugging at her to stay her blade until actual evidence was brought forth. <br>
<br>
As the path became more apparent to the group, she let her hands drop to her side. When she looked at Todd and saw his expression she simply shrugged her shoulders. </span><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Might as well follow the group down the path unless you want to stay here for however long it takes for you to find your way out." </span>Aya responded in a low voice before starting to follow the others down the path that was brought before them. Though she casually rested her hand on her katana gently gripping the hilt of the blade. </span></div>

TL ; DR- Zohar responds to Aya, after unwittingly using his power he copies her sword style for a brief moment. He then offers Zolgen an option of fighting Aya to achieve his desire for strength. Zohar then debates Morrigan once again elaborating on his views and even speaking of his home, and his willingness to travel with her. Following the pull of the forest he makes for the gold meadows in the distance.<br>​</div><br>
<span class="float-right"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-09-16-130513-png.1118519/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1055/1055649-7051ca5cd23f0c925014aea836bfed0c.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-09-16 130513.png" title="Screenshot 2023-09-16 130513.png" width="100" height="150" loading="lazy"></a></span>Zohar stared deep into the water. He did not look into the falls for he faced away from them, nor the pools which collected their water. All he needed were the very droplet that clung to him; they were enough. As before worlds were reflected in the dew. An elaborate kaleidoscope which painted a vast worlds beyond the one he knew. Frankly it was humbling, but he felt he could not find the end of his dream in them. The water was not so much water than a mirror through which other realms could be scryed. It suspended belief, though he was always one open to the traditionally impossible. Maybe one day he could gleam its secrets, but other worlds held no meaning to him. All that mattered was the one he knew, it was the place which contained his dream after all. He wiped the remains of the water off his body and stepped away not allowing his gaze to linger to long at the pools beneath his feet.<br>
<br>
With his hands placed in his pockets, relaxed. Zohar made to return to the group only to be stopped by the fox girl Aya. He blinked as he looked at her, evidently she had something to say to him. A smile graced her youthful features, though the way she looked at him was rather intense. Her words were delivered calmly but they were clearly a threat. Other may look at this child like fox eared girl and consider her words empty bluster or a defensive act. But Zohar wasn't so sure... <b>[Yesod]</b><br>
<br>
His eyes gleamed a brighter gold as he beheld her. Something within him stretching out to meet Aya, in order to understand her. For a moment to Zohar it was like they were connected by an ephemeral string of Light. He saw many things within her, from understanding of lands he did not know, to the very swiftness contained within her body. Yet there was much he could not see, or understand. The vastness of another being not able to be fully comprehended by him even if he could bridge the gap. As the connection was broken an image lingered in his mind. Of Aya standing with sword in hand, practicing. She swung at enemies only she could see. The young girl was resplendent and full of life. Despite the fact that Zohar had never held a blade in his life, watching her he felt he understood the passion of those who give their life to the sword even if only a little.<br>
<br>
His body flickered. Then he blinked and it was over, he was himself and she was her. The boundary between humans stood firm, but for a moment it had wavered. Zohar's stood with his mouth slightly agape and his eyes widened as he stared at Aya. He knew he had been changed, but to see proof of it was something else entirely. His expression softened and a small smile came upon him.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Of course Aya, my apologies. It was not my intention to look down upon someone such as you." </span></span><br>
<br>
Some may see his words as almost mocking, but Zohar delivered them honestly for they were true to what he felt. Taking his hands out of his pocket he brought them up looking at them as he clenched an unclenched his hands. A feelings of something being there that wasn't. Zohars hands gripped around empty air, but in his mind they were held around the grip of a sword. Raising his arms he mimicked a swing of the blade. It wasn't perfect or masterful, and the lack of an actual sword in his hands made it clumsy looking. But Aya would no doubt recognize it as the beginnings of the very sword style her father had once taught her, before she made it into her own. Zohar stepped out of his stance placing his hands back in his pockets.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I see, so that's how you do it..."</span></span><br>
<br>
He spoke aloud to himself, as he stared ahead. Then walked away from the fox girl leaving her to her own devices.<br>
<br>
When Zohar returned to the group at large he found the large deer headed man and another animal eared girl in the midst of conversation as they walked. He came in at the tail end of their conversation but he picked up the gist of it. Walking by, without really looking to either of them he spoke aloud to the Monster Zolgen.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"If you were guided here to attain power, wouldn't fighting against a strong opponent accomplish that goal? Aya there is quite powerful."</span></span><br>
<br>
Zohar left it at that, not saying anything to Amelia. Zolgen could act as he wished if he did choose to fight then the experience would be good for both Aya and him. Surely any blood they shed would allow to come closer to actualizing their selves. It was then that The Morrigan approached him. Zohar hadn't stayed nearby to hear any response it may give. To him it looked like it had thought over his words extensively and couldn't leave him be without making its own thoughts known. Zohars golden eyes stared into the Morrigans, listening to it he couldn't help but note their similarities in thought. But of course their was a key difference between them.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"A contradiction? Ah, I see you've misunderstood me I suppose that can't be helped."</span></span><br>
<br>
Zohar sighed lightly, closing his eyes as he gathered his thoughts. While he was within the space of his mind he felt a slight pulling towards the Morrigan. It seemed he could "connect" to it as well, though Zohar felt he couldn't call upon that power again so soon. It was like a muscle that was underused and now the slightest exertion tired it out beyond use. He opened his eyes revealing the gold in them once more.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Where I come from the value of being born human is placed over everything else. So long as you are human no matter how you may change, your actions can be understood and even allowed up to a point. Even if your desire is to destroy the world, that wish has validity because it is a human one. Of course that wish will clash with many others so you can't blame them for trying to crush it. But an inhuman being harboring such a wish, whether a monster or AI cannot be tolerated there."</span></span><br>
<br>
His eyes narrowed and a complicated expression started to play across his face as if he was remembering something, or someone unpleasant.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"If you were to exist in that City, you would be destroyed utterly without a second thought. That, or you would be expelled to the Outskirts. 'The Head' would simply refuse to allow you. Human lives are already too chaotic and selfish to allow a being like you to exist alongside them. I believe a bit differently however, compared to those elites who only persist suffering. That is why I said I would allow your wish if you 'became' human. My own wish cannot allow a machine-like existence such as you, but until you emerge from your chrysalis I will let you be. Only after, once I witness the choice you make will I make my own decision on the matter."</span></span><br>
<br>
Zohar smiled good naturedly.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"If you make 'that' choice then you may struggle as much as you like, and I will do the same in order to fulfill my own mission. I agree that it is quite a blessing to have so clear a purpose it took me some time to reach my own. Despite my ideals I have nothing personal against Morrigan the individual, once we leave here I would not mind following our directives together. You moving to fulfill your own serves my goals as well."</span></span><br>
<br>
With an almost serene or comfortable expression across his face Zohar seemed to be genuinely enjoying the conversation as well as the company of The Morrigan. Walking together he along with the others noticed the figures and ethereal shapes within the forest. A feeling like he was being watched gripped Zohar. Bizarre creatures revealed themselves flitting and moving from the brush. Must like the forest itself they were uncanny and unlike anything he had seen before. Even the most mutated of creatures were not quite like this. Feeling a light pull within his very being Zohar looked out to a path ahead of them, rather than a maze meant to trap them. This one seemed like it was meant to take them somewhere. Past the long tunnel of trees the beginnings of a golden field could be just made out. Zohar gaze deeply at that scene, before quickly coming to a conclusion. He walked towards it whether the others made the same decision or decided to stay would not change his course. Would this forest bring him back home? To him and his allies destroyed efforts? Or like the waters seemed to say, take him somewhere else entirely?          <br>

Summary: <br>
Greets Todd and simply watches the others interact while interacting a little himself  before casually strolling down the path with the others<br>
<br>
Tupu nods at Todd the other beastman who seemed to be a rather average guy but the chances of that he feels isn't too likely looking at the rest of the group and says "<b><i><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Pleasure too meet ya Todd</span></i></b>." He was soon cut off though be the eerily yet slowly adjusting chuckle of the genocide angel. Tupu usually would take a threat like hers with some salt but knowing she was just born he sees her merely as a toddler despite her knowledge she has no real experience or understanding of it. Now that Tupu thought of it she seemed to remind him of the advanced androids that resided in his old world, as they we're programmed to be loyal yet creative which at first was brilliant but like any creature with brain whether organic or mechanic they learn and when you learn your existence is manufactured to serve you tend to ask questions. Though lucky for Tupu she's fresh and fairly impressionable seeing how she mimics others social habits rather quickly though hearing her go from a robotic and almost creepy laugh to one that sounded much less ominous and almost like him. Then the seemingly only human here spoke up about The Morrigan's goal to extinguish life and he shrugged at first but after hearing the man make his point Tupu can't help but quietly sigh to release his urge to laugh at this as these two are like matching magnets they simply cannot click but seem to be coexisting quiet well. Tupu then adds on with a quick "<i><span style="color: #fac51c"><b>He's not wrong you shouldn't speak on something you haven't experienced yourself as if I'm not wrong nobody here was born a few minutes ago except you.</b></span></i>" He then stayed fairly quiet as the group interacts and gets to know each other. Though he eyes the group of goblins with a curious gaze and grin as despite how much goblins we're hated in his old world he usually enjoyed the company of the cunning green dwarfs. They made great businessmen and the one of the most cunning races to breathe as Tupu has earned seen and earned a baffling amount of money either stolen or scammed by the tricks of the clever bastards. Though these goblins seemed rather plain compared what he's used to as they seem intelligent but nothing special beyond they're roguish style and he casually nodded with a kind smirk at them once they meet his gaze. His eyes wandered to their master the man who in all of Tupu's terms fit a demon which Tupu didn't really mind as the first demon he encountered didn't try to kill him on sight so he's feeling a little lucky. He also couldn't but notice the small beast-lady then approach the human man and seem to confront him on him looking down at her which almost cracks him in up in a laughter. Though the laughter soon becomes half confusion and half entertained as the man then seemingly swings an invisible sword? Tupu can't really tell it was very amateurish in nature but nonetheless the man simply instigated a fight between Aya and the demon which Tupu doesn't understand why he would just suggest conflict despite the situation we're in but it's not his battle to fight so he shrugs his shoulders. Seeing that everyone just decides to walk farther down the path that kind of just naturally formed before us Tupu questions if he accidentally drugged himself with that mushroom stew he had earlier. He walks down the path alongside the others saying "<b><i><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Well if we are stuck in some magical forest that can read our desires it can probably read our fears too so I think it might be good to have someone covering each other's back</span></i></b>." He lets out a theory he just suddenly thought of about the forest but he doesn't think about it to hard knowing someone would probably either come to the same conclusion or find something even better to go off of. He carries himself up to the front of the path using his [Heightened Senses: Sight] to see a good distance ahead of the group for anything of interest.<br>

Through a thick, musky veil of darkness, the path stretched before the group, seemingly woven by the hand of some mischievous fae. The route was lined with moss-covered trees, their canopies so thick that the twilight above struggled to pierce through, granting only thin beams to dance and play upon the ground. Everything felt ancient, as though the very air had held its breath for millennia.<br>
<br>
Each step taken on the path was accompanied by the soft, sibilant rustling of the Whispering Willows. Their drooping leaves created an almost curtain-like barrier, brushing gently against those who passed, as if the very fabric of the forest tried to weave them into its tapestry. The Whispering Willows, sounding like they carried the burdens of souls lost within, whispered tales of long-lost heroes, of romances that spanned eons, and tragedies that tore stars apart. With Tupu's heightened senses, every rustle became a symphony, every whisper a story. While it would be easy to become engrossed in these tales, his eyes remained forward-focused, scanning the shadows for unseen threats. Of threats to note, anyone who stepped on a dark puddle would fall in as if breaking through ice as dark as ink. A momentary drowning sensation and they would appear again somewhere else on or near the path. They were lucky. There was no telling just how far the water traveled or where one might wind up next. Aside from the waters, the path itself shifted on them in such a way that backward became forward and forward back. Sometimes the path forward would end altogether. Tupu's sharp sense would keep the party moving away from where they had come, but he could not help any that strayed from him.<br>
<br>
But as the group pressed on, the atmosphere began to shift. The overpowering weight of the forest gave way to the gentle embrace of the Elysium Meadows. Suddenly, they were surrounded by fields of golden flowers, swaying to an unseen rhythm, their heads forever turned towards the heavens. Time here felt irrelevant everywhere in this place, but especially here in the meadow where one may feel tempted to simply stop. The weight of the world slipped away along with the oppression of a dark forest, replaced by a surreal serenity.<br>
<br>
Scattered throughout the meadow were ethereal spirits, their forms taking on all manner of fantastical shapes. Some were shimmering wisps of light, while others were more corporeal, resembling animals and creatures of ancient myth. A duo of spirits, one resembling a phoenix and the other a dragon, circled each other in a playful dance. Another, looking like a centaur but with the features of a stag, strummed a lute, its music hypnotic and serene.<br>
<br>
Near the heart of the meadow, a group of pixie-like spirits whispered among themselves, their language resembling the tinkling of bells. Upon seeing the travelers, one approached, offering a gesture of peace and greeting. The pixie spoke in a tongue foreign to all but fae, but its meaning felt universally pleasant.<br>
<br>
From this meadow of serenity, the heart of the forest stood proud and imposing. The colossal ancient tree loomed in the distance, its bark gnarled and worn, etched with arcane runes that pulsed with a faint, phosphorescent glow. The very soul of the forest seemed to emanate from this tree, drawing all towards its core.<br>
<br>
This was their destination, the place where their fates called them.<br>

<hr>"Nice meetin' you, too!" Todd replied, nodding towards Tupu Maa. They at least seemed like a pleasant sort, which the Kushtaka especially appreciated given how much stress many of the others were causing him.<br>
<br>
Not wanting to be left behind, Todd quickly followed after Aya, half listening to the ensuing conversation as they walked. The more he heard from this Ghost, the less he liked. Zohar somehow had a way of making everything he said sound like he was talking down to you. Todd liked to think of himself as a patient and understanding fellow, but he still found himself getting frustrated on Aya’s behalf. Even more so when Zohar suggested that the demon should fight Aya! The Kushtaka reached for his gun again, just in case such a thing were to come to pass. He knew Aya was perfectly capable of defending herself, and likely wouldn’t need any assistance from him if such a fight were to break out, but still! He couldn’t stand on the sidelines while Zohar sicced monsters on his friends!<br>
<br>
“I think you’ve done enough talkin’ for now, friend,” the Kushtaka snapped, irately.<br>
<br>
He was so caught up in the potentially brewing conflict, he hadn’t even noticed that Tupu Maa had taken the lead of their little group and lead them on to an open field of golden grass until the treeline parted around them. At the center of the field, standing by itself, was the single largest tree Todd had ever seen. It was, without a doubt, the place he – and likely they all – were being drawn towards, the Kushtaka could feel it in his bones. Under normal circumstances, this was likely the last place he would ever want to be. But, they’d already gotten trapped in the fairy forest, and unless they met whatever it was drawing them further in, it was unlikely they’d ever manage to get out again.<br>
<br>
When the pixies approached them, Todd let his paw fall against his side again, dropping his ready posture back into one that didn’t suggest violence was imminent. The last thing he wanted was to suggest he was hostile to the fae that had come to greet them, especially since there was a language barrier between them. Still, he kept a close eye on Zohar, not trusting the ghost to not try stirring something again.</div>

TLDR: Aya is disappointed in Zohars fighting style and gets annoyed before making an open threat and trying to calm Todd down and moves toward the tree. <br>
</div> <br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">Aya kept her eyes on Zohar, the supposed healer, though he seemed much more like an instigator than a healer in this situation. The Kitsune kept her eyes locked on him as she saw the bastardized form take place. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"What kind of bastardized form is that? You are not even doing it close to right," </span>Aya's tone from the more neutral tone earlier took a more aggressive sound this time around. There were few people who could get under her skin after all she had to keep track of Sariel and that was plenty of work all by itself. The fact that the individual seemed to be playing King maker annoyed her.<br>
<br>
When Todd spoke, she raised her hand off the hilt of her blade for a moment. <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Thank you for the concern but if he makes the wrong move I would rather cut him down myself, not to mention try to get the monster here to do your bidding I think you have an angle to play here and I'm not sure what yet," </span>Aya stated as he was now going to keep a close eye on him from now on and Zolgen to some extent but far more to Zohar. She figured most wouldn't let the monster attack someone and Zohar seemed to be picking fights that he himself wouldn't be able to win alone. <br>
<br>
As the group move further into the forest and eventually come to a clearing Aya stopped and looked at the large tree that housed the lights from a far. <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Well I think we found what we were called her for one reason or another for," </span>Aya stated as she started to make her way toward the tree to see what was going to await the group.  </span></div>

<br>
<b>TLDR: </b>Zolgen while admitting he likes the idea tells Zohar might be better for the overall group for him to see if Aya wants to  to fight later rather than in this realm. Comments on how Aya seems pretty serious about beating him too. Zolgen follows the path and tries to avoid running into any traps. Asks Todd where he is from out of curiosity. Warns the group at large who are following the main path to watch where they are going. At the meadow Zolgen then  thanks the Fae, Agrees with Aya to the group at large, and then Zolgen and goblins cautiously gets closer to the tree keeping a distance from her encase something bad happens.<br>
 <br>
Zolgen was actually a bit surprised to hear from Zohar, tell him so casually that he should fight someone who had been encumbered by the forest this way. He had half a notion to pull out his blades and show them first hand what kind of damage he could do. His hand even twitched. It wasn't like Zolgen hadn't been part of monster attacks where young people  had been killed anyway, granted according to Aya she had been shifted in some form..would she even be in full power. Zolgen did always enjoy fighting opponents, particularly when he was able to defeat those who were supposed to be powerful.<br>
<br>
Zolgen chuckled a bit.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Sounds like you have an idea of a good time Zohar. Perhaps I'll have to see if she wants to fight at some point, but sadly I think it might be better when we get out of this..should I say 'tricky' realm,  as much fun as I'd have, who knows what we could attract if we started doing that here? She sounds pretty serious about it too."</span> At this point Zolgen was making it out like through omission that he cared much at all about the greater group's safety. Since none of them had out right attacked him yet he felt like he was doing a decent job of it. Granted at the very least he was with an interesting crowd of people. It made him more willing to let them do what they needed to do before putting his  self inclination toward violence first. Amelia was interesting, so was the one who proclaimed she'd bring destruction to humanity, and now Zohar recommending something risky like that, even the beast and his demeanor was curious to Zolgen as he didn't really fit what Zolgen had heard of the beast places in his mannerisms.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"So Todd, where are you from exactly?"</span> Zolgen turned to him, after he had spoken out, curious.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I can see I was right about the tricks, everyone should pay special attention to where they're going."</span> He stated matter of fact to whoever followed the main group.<br>
<br>
For now Zolgen diligently followed the group, looking at the strange surroundings. He took note of the puddles and tried his best not to step in them presuming he found out what they did. While others might have understood and felt this feeling of longing like there were many stories told in the past in a place like this, Zolgen was relatively unmoved by such feelings. Sure he could relate to them in some ways, from his past life, but they didn't seem very reflective of his current with the exception of the Wild Hunt perhaps..whose members he wasn't sure where they had gone off too or if they were alive, he should probably reconnect with Nissa sooner than later he though to himself. Zolgen instructed the Goblins who followed him every now and again to make sure they watched where they were going.<br>
---<br>
Even Zolgen felt an almost oppressive feeling from the forest, like it was encircling them as if they were prey..so he felt a bit relieved by the time they were reaching the clearing. Zolgen even in his past life could appreciate a meadow, but he couldn't get distracted by these details, this realm was decidedly unpredictable, for all they knew this could shift into some dangerous place quickly. While looking fantastical the spirits in the distance weren't the most comforting thing ever.<br>
<br>
Once again Zolgen would have been curious to see if his blade could cut through beings like these just as well as any, but for now he did not act out, giving a bit of a wave to the one who approved them, as he had to the group earlier. The goblins looked a bit restless still but they stayed grouped up and followed.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Thank you for your..greeting." </span>Zolgen responded, not understanding what they had said of course.<br>
<br>
The demon had stopped at this point and looked at the scene ahead<span style="color: null">.</span><br>
<br>
He'd turn to the group.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I agree with her, that tree has a certain allure which I think is worth investigating as it seems unlikely these beings are interested in harming us." </span>Zolgen and the goblins cautiously followed Aya but kept a distance, better her than him if something went horribly wrong after all. Just now starting to feel a bit excited again, as he could feel whatever this tree was contained some kind of power much older than him or anyone else there..it rekindled the idea to him that something useful was here for him.</div>

<br>
Amelia, having begun to make her way into the forest would continue to notice strange things at the corner of her eyes. She had to willfully ignore the growing pressure of the looming shadows. Amelia's catlike features would frown with annoyance before suddenly calling out into the empty void of the forest. "Come out already! You brought us here, now explain why?!" She huffed before stomping her foot and continuing along the path that somehow was being revealed before her. <br>
<br>
<br>
Before long it appeared the fox lady Aya and the leader like character Zohar we're getting into it. Amelia would have glanced at Zolgen briefly with a shrug, "Looks like we're already clashing huh?" She muttered enough for only the demon to hear. Then the leader like personality Zohar walked passed them, muttering words of his own. "H-hey wait just a minute, you!" She called after him matching his pace and fluttering her hands about, "That was totally a taunt! Does the forest have you that deep in it's paws?" Looking back at Zolgen it was impossible to tell his true reaction as he seemed to sort of enjoy thid attempt at friction. "Hm.." she purred. "..this is a weird group indeed." Looking down she followed after Tupu but not before stepping on a puddle beneath her feet. For some crazy reason the puddle in which she stepped on gave her the most intense sensation of falling into it. It was almost like free falling. "Ee.. eeeek!" She jumped back then forward then placed her hands over her eyes. "Alright! Which one of you gave me catnip?!" The feeling would get more and more overwhelming much to the nekos displeasure as she groaned. <br>
<br>
<br>
"I hate this.. why is the forest making me feel hungover?" She protested as she accidentally bumped into Aya. "H-hey.. are we almost there yet?" She asked a little belligerent. <br>
<br>
<br>
However, it was shortly after that the forest finally gave way to a wide clearing and a feeling of serenity that contrasted the otherwise chaotic dark firest . "Finally." Amelia sighed deeply as she looked around a bit, then crossing her arms she hummed. "Is.. this it?" She asked outloud. Then looking to her side would be Aya, "uhm.. hi.. I don't think we've met. The names Amelia and it seems this tree is what brought us together." The neko would tilt her head a little confused about the tree and the words escaping her mouth . "Isn't it?" <br>
<br>
<br>
It was shortly after this introduction that a most pleasant encounter took place. Wisps and funny little spirits would take to the space before the group. "Wow! Look at that!" She said happily but obviously trying to hold back her excitement. "Ahem.. I mean.. cute. Mhm. Very cute." Before long fae words would be spoken by what appeared to be little winged creatures. Their words sounded sweet, maybe even welcoming so Amelia decided to wave, twiddling her fingers as she did. "Hey there!" She said happily. "Uhm.. so we were brought here by this place, do you know why that could be?" She figured asking wouldn't hurt and acting out what she was saying as best she could would likely make things easier? <br>
<br>
<br>
Placing her hands on her hips she took a long look at the tree overhead in the distance. "How about a race to the tree? Last one there is a rotten fish?" She'd start out towards the tree then with a jog and a skip.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b><i><span style="font-size: 22px">The Morrigan</span></i></b><br>
<br>
tl;dr: Morrigan absorbs Zohar's words and decides that she hates him. She walks along with the rest of the team to the plains, then invades Zolgen's personal space and dumps her feelings out to him since he isn't human either.​</div><hr><br>
Words were something The Morrigan was beginning to learn carried more than their direct meaning. Emotion, or a lack of it, also carried some meaning to it. Words could affect emotion with precisely how they were said, their intonation, and even the speaker's cadence. It was so strange to her how Zohar's words began to ignite a feeling she felt earlier: frustration. However, this was different. It wasn't frustration towards herself, her purpose, or her mother, it was a righteous frustration that secured her purpose in her mind. Her gaze sharpened as the group walked onwards, silently lamenting how she couldn't simply float above the ground and had to touch the dirt with her feet, how she had to be careful not to step into puddles of ephemeral dream stuff, how she had to ensure she didn't suffocate in the overwhelming atmosphere of the thick forest. She was sure that this frustration was different, however, that it was another four-letter word she found useful: Hate. She hated the human-centered view he had, and how he wanted to feed that to her. How he tried to convince her that she should be human when she was clearly superior. She silently wished for his bones to rot and his muscles to bubble and fester, her body language rigid and hard. I<i> was made by a God! Mother dearest! These humans were inferior in every way, and they should know their place.</i><br>
<br>
But she didn't make that apparent. She was accepted, for now, and she wouldn't jeopardize her place here when she had not yet reached civilization. Eventually, as the group walked, the trees gave way to fields and fae who flitted around the group like curious vultures observing a dying animal. She felt as if these creatures were <i>expecting</i> something out of them, but their chime-like voices seemed to put the rest of the group at ease, and she wouldn't be the one to make a fuss, or <i>more</i> of a fuss, than need be. A large tree dominated the view of the plains. It was clear that this was their destination all along. A big tree. The group seemed to be fascinated by such a thing, she was confused as to why awe was the prevailing emotion amongst her fellow travelers.<br>
<br>
Aya, the cat-eared one with a proper blade, pushed onward towards the tree without question, Zolgen keeping some distance behind her, and the other cat-eared one, Amelia, daring <i>somebody</i> to race her. The Morrigan quickly strode past her, purpose in her steps, directly for Zolgen.<br>
<br>
<b>"Zolgen." </b>She said without any fanfare, making a point to step in time with him, just within the reach of his goblins. <b>"You are not human, and neither am I, so I feel you are the best candidate for my next question." </b>She spoke without waiting for his response. <b>"Why are humans so selfish? Zohar seeks to imprint his disgusting humanity onto me with all the selfishness and pride of his people, and I find that I <i>hate</i> that feeling. I find that I <i>hate</i> him. You are not human, yet you seem to be the arbiter of order in this temporary band of adventurers." </b>She stepped closer still, heedless of the goblins or his personal space. <b>"I seek to understand, but I cannot understand while plagued with these emotions. Dispel them for me with your words, and inform me why I should not slide the kneecaps of Zohar of the City out of place, please. I will do my very best to understand." </b>There was a hint of emotion in her voice. Anger, clearly, then earnestness. <br>
<br>
<b>"I simply seek to understand and study them for my singular purpose, and yet I am met with selfishness and reference to one's origin. If my Mother were to be here, she would surely rend nearly all the living creatures here into their constituent organs, but isn't that information irrelevant?" </b>She pouted, then sighed. <b>"Humans are tiring."</b><br>

<hr>Despite himself, Todd couldn’t help but shoot Aya a concerned frown when she asked him to stand down. But, he nodded at the same. Far be it for him to fight Aya’s battles for her, she didn’t really need the assist. But still, he couldn’t help but feel concerned for someone he considered a friend! Especially since it seemed like, for at least a moment, the demon seemed to be actually considering the ghost’s proposal. Todd figured, if push came to shove, he could handle the ghost himself, or at least keep it occupied until Aya had dealt with the demon…<br>
<br>
Thankfully though, it ultimately didn’t come to that! Zolgen, at least for the moment, seemed more interested in a ‘going along to get along’ strategy. Demons really were fickle things. Who knew when the monster’s mood would shift. The Kushtaka figured it was probably best to treat him with kids’ gloves, all the same. One other thing he did know, though, was that there was no way in hell the Kushtaka would be providing Zolgen with a road map to his village!<br>
<br>
“Oh, up north,” Todd answered, vaguely. Kushtaka fishing villages were an uncommon but not exceedingly rare sight along the major lakes and rivers of the northern Beast Republic, and even dotted the coastline. Their communities tended to be fairly insular, but every so often you’d get a wanderer – like Todd himself!<br>
<br>
In any case, it seemed like the main body of the group – Aya, Zolgen and his goblins, Amelia, and The Morrigan – were all making their way towards the big fae tree. That meant that was where Todd was going too, and, as he followed along, he was near enough to Zolgen and The Morrigan to overhear her confiding in him and oh no. Zohar had really messed up The Morrigan’s opinion of humans already! Sure, the angel-like creature was already intending to help genocide them, but only because her mother willed it and she was loyal to said mother. Now she was starting to hate humans herself, which was going to make convincing her not to go that road even harder! And now she was asking the demon for advice!<br>
<br>
“Hey, uh, I hope you two’ll pardon my interruption,” he said, picking up his pace a little until he was side by side with the angel and the demon. “I wouldn’t mind Zohar too much. Back home, the Doc had a word for people like him: ‘Shit-Stirrers’, if you’ll excuse the course language. There’s at least a few people like that in every town, but most people aren’t like that; they’re real nice, if ya give ‘em the chance!”<br>
<br>
He gave The Morrigan his best convincing smile. Somewhere in the back of his mind, a small part of him found it deeply amusing that he was trying to play shoulder angel to a literal angel. Was the shoulder demon Zolgen or Zohar in this situation? The Kushtaka guessed only time would tell.</div>

At the center of the vast clearing in the forest stands the heart of the forest: an enormous, majestic tree. It appears ageless, with roots deep and widespread, its bark adorned with curious symbols and glyphs, some seemingly etched by nature, others by hands long gone. The tree's sprawling branches stretch out, each tipped with leaves that shimmer with a phosphorescent glow, casting an otherworldly light over the expanse.<br>
<br>
Around the periphery of the clearing, the remnants of ancient ruins poke out from beneath thick moss and ferns. The remnants whisper tales of civilizations that once thrived and then vanished, leaving behind only these stone testimonies. The air here feels different, charged with an expectant energy. Every so often, a gentle rustling carries the soft laughter or whispered conversation of the elusive forest denizens. <br>
<br>
Amidst the lush grass and scattered blooms, countless pixies and wisps flutter. Their ethereal forms shine with a soft, radiant light, illuminating their delicate wings as they flit and dance, leaving trails of sparkling stardust in their wake. They murmur in a language that sounds like the tinkling of tiny bells, their intentions unclear, their presence undeniable. <br>
<br>
In time the band of travellers, under the looming presence of the Heart of the Forest, was soon met with the sudden appearance of a Lumina Deer, its antlers gleaming ethereally, casting prismatic lights around the clearing. The serene creature approached the colossal tree and, bowing its head, beckoned them closer.<br>
<br>
As they neared, the runes on the tree began to pulsate with an inner light, the rhythm of which matched the steady heartbeat of the forest around them. The voice of the forest, an amalgamation of countless whispers, softly addressed them.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><i>"Lost souls, seekers of destiny and fate,"</i></span></b> the forest began, its voice a mournful song, <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><i>"to leave the embrace of the Soulbound Forest, a journey of heart and soul awaits."</i></span><br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"To free yourselves, you must first understand the bind that holds you,"</span></i></b> the voice continued. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Four challenges lie ahead. Meet them with courage, and find your way back to the Heart. Only then can the true path reveal itself."</span></i></b><br>
<br>
The Lumina Deer stepped forward, its luminescent eyes locking onto each traveller in turn.<b><i><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "First, you must travel to the Spectral Falls. There, the cascade shall reveal glimpses of what binds your heart, your past, your fate."<br>
<br>
"Next, the Whispering Willows, you must journey,"</span></i></b> the deer continued. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Their rustling leaves will share memories, lost lore, and secrets that you seek."</span></i></b><br>
<br>
The forest's voice grew somber. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(84, 172, 210)">"Not all memories are kind, and not all lore is helpful. Beware what you hear. Next, to the Elysium Meadows. Speak to the spirits that linger there, for they will offer counsel or perhaps, present more riddles."</span><br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">"The Ruins of Aether hold the last obstacle and the solid proofs of times gone, present, and coming again."</span></i></b><br>
<br>
The Lumina Deer hesitated, its gaze lingering. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(84, 172, 210)">"Once the challenges are met, one among you must decide to stay, bound to the forest, for the rest to find their way out."</span></i></b><br>
<br>
Not everyone would leave the forest. The choice would inevitably pit them against each other unless one and only one chose to remain of their own volition.<br>
<br>
The deer continued,<b><i><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)"> "The one who stays will gain the power and wisdom of the forest but will forever remain its guardian."</span></i></b><br>
<br>
A heavy silence settled upon the group. The tasks were laid out, and the weight of their decisions loomed large. The forest watched and waited, the golden mist swirling around the peripheries of their thoughts and the trees, as the journey to free their souls began.<br>

Amelia, a bit eager to see the tree better up close would notice varying details as she approached, mostly the runes and the immense amount of fairy like creatures. "This is.. unlike any forest I've ever seen before!" She exclaimed with astonishment, however, as she walked she tripped on a piece of stone ruin that spiked out of the ground. The cat, nimble on her feet quickly regained balance out if sheer instinct. Examining the stone further didn't yield anything of significant detail, she simply lacked the experience in such things. She would only decipher the obvious, "huh.. looks like pieces of some sort of city?" She wondered outloud, yet the thought of a city completely overcame her mind. Was it a luxurious place? Did it get conquered by a more powerful country, perhaps they'd taken the treasure? <br>
<br>
All wanderings of a neko who desperately wanted what was stolen from her at birth. <br>
<br>
It was then that a magnetic creature appeared before her, it was impossible to tell it's origins, but she became overwhelmed with a feeling she couldn't quite pinpoint. She wanted to ask it who it was but the growing symphony of whispers overcame the thought as the spirit spoke. <br>
<br>
She crossed her arms when it spoke of how to leave the forest. Was she, trapped? Then the prospect of adventure overcame her sense of safety. "Great! I'm up for the challenge." She nodded with determination, however her expression quickly changed when told that one of them was to remain as guardian. "What?" She gasped then looked at the others, "Surely not me, I have an entire life ahead of me. Although.." she wondered for a bit. "I suppose being the guardian of a forest would yield a degree of.. status? Right?" <br>
<br>
The neko shrugged at everyone, "No matter? Let's get past these trials first, then we'll figure it out?"</div>

TLDR: Aya is disappointed in Zohars fighting style and gets annoyed before making an open threat and trying to calm Todd down and moves toward the tree.<br>
</div> <br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">Aya without looking over at Todd spoke, <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Wisdom is knowing when to fight and when to hold back. We are in an unfamiliar land and would be foolish for us to waste more energy than we need to until we know more about this place." </span>With that Aya pressed on with the rest of the group after giving Ameilia a concerned look as she started shouting at the shadows to which she didn't know how much that would do. As the tree grew closer and closer Aya stopped when the creature appeared before the tree and the voice rang out. <br>
<br>
Aya absorbed the words that the creature was speaking, though these trials seemed to be the only way for them all to return home. As the riddles and directions were spoken Aya folded her arms across her chest and closed her eyes as she tried to put the pieces together. <i><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">So we have to go to four places in these woods and these challenges will be testing a bunch of things by the sounds of it. Though the Whispering Willows sound like that is going to be a major pain, I wonder if we will all see the same thing or if its will be a single vision. Though I suppose we could all see everyone's if that's how it works. </span></i><span style="color: null">She pondered it for a few more minutes before letting the idea drop though she had to admit that one did sound like the most dangerous one. <br>
<br>
Turning to Amelia as she spoke up now eager for the challenge, </span><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Rushing ahead only be a danger slow and steady wins the race. But I do agree with you the creature seemed to be very strong and not something I would like to cross swords with. But I suppose we will find out once we complete these trials maybe there will be some more information we could find but the real question is what direction do we go," </span>Aya concluded as she looked around to see if there was any hint or clue or sound she could pick up.  </span></div>

<br>​</div><span class="float-right"> <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-09-16-130431-png.1119686/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1056/1056816-bd2e86932d1b9b9638f46660cb6f6a77.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-09-16 130431.png" title="Screenshot 2023-09-16 130431.png" width="100" height="225" loading="lazy"></a></span>The lab coat wearing Zohar considered the company he was keeping. Each had shown themselves to be rather unique individuals, and even unique existences entirely. Though he also fell into that category. They were filled with desires, expectations and values. And with a bemused expression he found he was endearing himself to very few of them. Acting as he was many of them had found some reason to take issue with him. Whether it was perceived slights, or mere feelings of mistrust that seem to spring from instinct deep within.<br>
<br>
Perhaps they didn't care or didn't know, but Zohar heard them. Their opinions on him were clear and scathing. Aya had taken offense to his presence standing over her, likely in response to her new form leading to feelings of insecurity. Then she had felt slighted by his attempt at practicing the sword. He could admit it was a poor showing, likely an insult to any learned swordsman. His excitement at his newly found power had made him eager to try. Then Todd who had been wary of him from the beginning took offense at his speech. Seeking to silence him lest Zohar run tensions any higher. Zohar was actually unsure about The Morrigan but it was easy enough to tell the juvenile endbringer had pulled back in their last conversation. Logical or not her ignorance of human interaction was certainly showing. In fact she may have misunderstood his point entirely, but as she had not made her misgivings known he could not rectify that. Fittingly enough it showed her lack of experience, young as she was. Perhaps he should have spoken more plainly? Either way, whats done is done. Zohar didn't particularly mind this outcome. Others were still neutral to him or even amicable. He wouldn't rush to his own defense or try to explain himself, seeking rapport. So long as his main goal remained uncontested... Zohar smiled.<br>
<br>
He and the others stood before a great tree. The bright clearing was a far cry from the depths of the forest they had came from. The balls of light that fluttered through the air were of interest to Zohar. He had taken his new surroundings in stride filling all the strange occurrences and creatures as some dimensional phenomenon used by a Corporation. But something like this seemed beyond that. Was he truly just trapped within the power of some Wing of the City? Or was he in another place entirely. Something he had not allowed himself to think before.<br>
<br>
A luminescent ethereal deer had appeared before then, beckoning them closer to the great runic tree. The scene couldn't help but evoke distant memories in Zohar of fairytales and bedtime stories. As the tree glowed a conglomerate voice spoke to them. A cacophony of whispers and voices united but separate. And soon after the deer itself spoke to them. It was a strange experience, yet Zohar listened to their words. While he may come off as uncaring he wanted out of this forest just as much as anyone else, if not more. He couldn't fulfill his dream here. Though the "power and wisdom of the forest" was an interesting offer, but he had the Light. Meager as it was now it would deliver him one day. The trials were laid out to them and soon after Zohar spoke up turning to Amelia but still speaking enough to be heard by others.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><span style="font-family: 'georgia'">"Consider the choice for the Forests 'Gaurdian' later. There is no point dwelling on something which would only divide you. You cannot be sure that is the only option, there may yet be a way for all of you to escape."</span> </span><br>
<br>
Zohar tried to assuage any stirrings of malcontent over the idea of one being forced to stay. He did not mind if he himself was the object of dislike, but that feeling should not project out into the group as a whole. Lest none of them make it out of here. As Aya spoke her question of where they would go next Zohar answered.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><span style="font-family: 'georgia'">"Based off the description, I may have encountered the 'Spectral Falls' earlier. There was a pool and waterfall I saw just before our meeting. The water showed me what I believe to be other worlds."</span></span><br>
<br>
Zohar explained his previous experience clinically. Offering their first lead on the location of a Trial.</div>

<b>TLDR: </b> Zolgen chuckles at Amelia's observation about the tension in the group, acknowledge's Todd's answer, says it's okay to Todd for interjecting, responds to the Morrigan, somewhat agrees with Aya's statement to the Morrigan and company. Thinks about how becoming the guardian could get the power he wants, but also is a risk of getting stuck in the forest forever,  outwardly agrees to what  Zohar has to say about the spectrl falls and is ready to follow him to attempt the challenge along with anyone else who will come.<br>
<br>
Zolgen chuckled a bit at Amelia's observation. Friction could be entertaining but wouldn't be very good for getting them all out in one piece.  That was a constant struggle here, balancing what would be more entertaining against his chance of survival.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Up north I see...I'm familiar with the North, but perhaps not the  section of the north you're from." </span>Zolgen now knew that Todd wasn't as foolish as to reveal where he lived. That would certainly be for the better, but it also meant Zolgen couldn't give one of his follow up lines which would have been oh so fun to say. Zolgen couldn't say he had been expecting The Morrigan to come up to him either and ask his advice, now this was rather amusing, that he was talking with non-monsters like this for so long, it had been a long time since he'd done anything like this.<br>
<br>
Perhaps the benefit of being Isekaied, even though he was a monster he kept his wits about him from his past life and knew how to act pretty human if he wanted too. It was pretty bold for her to come right up to him like this, thankfully the goblins didn't attack her since Zolgen didn't give the words. Before he could really give her a proper answer, Todd seemed pretty intent on getting involved in the conversation, clearly trying to persuade this interesting being away from slaughtering humans.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Not a problem..." </span>He responded to  Todd who interjected before he answered The Morrigan, with a bit of a chuckle once more. A simple way for Zolgen to put things would have been saying that he saw humans as a possible source of entertainment, particularly powerful ones, but also for him a source of food.. But he wasn't keen on revealing his hand just like that now, now when he had the party tolerating him. So instead he'd spin like this,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Well, first,  Morrigan, your mother sounds like a delightful woman.."</span> He'd say light heartedly, before continuing <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I would say that if you wish to actualize the grand scheme of things..sometimes you need to compromise, as much as I enjoy a good fight myself, there may be long term strategic benefit in sparing, even those who you deem undesirable, in the short term, to increase your chances of meeting your goals in the long term. Similar to what Aya has said I suppose..." </span>Zolgen decided to use the term fight instead of slaughter just to keep up his  current face.  Of course he wasn't going to dissuade  her from her goal  if it might eventually result in her killing some humans in this world since that would only help monster kind.<br>
---<br>
By the time the group was at the tree, while he was curious about Amelia's apparent interest, Zolgen honed in on the situation at hand. He was on standby ready to lash out if need be, but listened just the same to what these Fae apparently had to tell them. Always so long and descriptive these sort felt. So there were clues to consider..and four challenges. All Zolgen could really hope that at least some of those challenged involved violence, since that he could get behind..but if it was solving strange puzzles or feats of great intellect, he wasn't too sure if he'd fare as well as some on those..but from the sound of things they could work together. <br>
<br>
The more compelling matter to him was that it said one of them would need to stay behind and become the forest's guardian. However..the word power struck out to Zolgen, wisdom of the forest...perhaps that meant magic..just because one was bound to the forest, would that mean they would be stuck there forever? Maybe if he became the guardian he'd gain some of the power he so wanted, while also growing stronger as time went on until even the forest would be unable to properly bind him any longer and then he could unleash a great slaughter upon those who he deemed removing..but that was only theoretical, it was probably safer for him to get out of there. Thankfully he doubted any of the group would dare suggest he take the spot, lest they risk a fight.<br>
<br>
He then listened to what everyone had to say who had spoken so far on the matter when all was said and done, before he spoke out:<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I believe that checking out these spectral falls Zohar speak of, is worth while, he seems to know where they may be and it's as good a start as any."</span> Zolgen spoke his piece on the matter, ready to move on with Zohar toward them and whoever else might be coming as well at that point, as were his goblins.</div>

<br>
tl;dr: Morrigan tidies her mental list of what she would like to do, then appreciates Todd trying to soothe her feelings. She then acknowledges Zolgen's words on "sparing" people and lets another character set things up.​</div><hr><br>
The deer-stag-creature-thing addressed them, and The Morrigan made a mental list of what she planned to do:<br>
<ol>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Stare into the cascading waters of the Spectral Falls. <i>Do not drink the water.</i></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Listen to the leaves of the <s>Strange Trees</s> Whispering Willows. <i>Find a way to save a few leaves for further study at a later date.</i></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Speak to non-corporeal entities of the plains. <i>Distinguish the origin of spirits for further study. Gather ectoplasm if it is detected.</i></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Attempt to decipher what the "Ruins of Aether" will present. <i>The entity was non-specific with the goal. Mental note to Mother to ensure the eradication of double-talking creatures, as they are non-compatible with endbringer entities. </i></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Find drinkable water and safe-to-eat food. <i>Hunger and thirst will become a fatal problem in approximately 66 hours. Ensure form is sustainable at all costs.</i></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol"><i><b>Do not become the guardian.</b></i></li>
</ol>The angel nodded to herself as she mentally categorized her thoughts, retracing her steps in her head to calculate the number of steps it would take for her to get to the Spectral Falls, a place they had just been at not so long ago. Her mind was so focused that she hadn't noticed the mustelid creature, Todd, making his presence known to her once more.<br>
<br>
He mentioned a word that meant little to her. <i>Shit-stirrer.</i> The mental image she concocted for herself involved a form of cooking, with fecal matter as the batter. Perhaps he meant schist, the stone? Why would Zohar stir schist? Todd was certainly the odd one, but she could tell from his tone and apparent flexing of his facial muscles that he was attempting to soothe her emotions. <i>Why was he doing that?</i> <i>What did he gain from soothing her emotions?</i> She cocked her head and stared at him, unblinkingly, attempting to figure out his motivation for the action.<br>
<br>
<i>Perhaps, he was attempting to make her acquaintance. </i>She cocked her head the other way. <i>Perhaps, he wanted something from her. </i>Her brow furrowed as she straightened. <i>There was nothing she could give him. </i>Her brow relaxed. <i>He is doing this for diplomatic reasons. He had made her mood his priority without her asking.</i> She attempted a smile, but the muscles were unfamiliar with the motion, so she stopped herself and bowed her head at him, slowly, eyes blinking slowly like a feline.<br>
<br>
<b>"Your words soothe me for now, Todd. I am sure Zohar would be a terrible chef anyway if he stirs schist into his batters. The texture alone must make his pastries unfit for eating, in addition to his terrible attitude and selfish human nature." </b>She said matter-of-factly. Again, she suppressed an urge to scratch the top of his head, reaching out with her hand, only to pull it back to her chest.<br>
<br>
<i>Step one, traverse to the cascading waters of the Spectral Falls.</i><br>
<br>
The goblins were anxious around her, wary, but as The Morrigan's head began to turn on a swivel to locate the first destination on her list, Zolgen had begun to speak, but the Morrigan felt the need to correct him. <b>"My Mother is not a woman. She is an Endbringer, the oldest and wisest. No mere woman could end the world like she can."</b><br>
<br>
Zolgen spoke of sparing humans for the completion of long-term goals, which was something The Morrigan understood entirely. She didn't like it, as she wanted nothing more than to destroy those who she felt had wronged her, but she spoke nothing of it overtly. <b>"I suppose the concept of sparing perceived enemies can be trusted from a warrior such as yourself, or..."</b> She mouthed the individual sounds out.<b> "Aye-ah"</b> There was a pause as she evaluated the noise she made, and assumed that it must be the correct way of pronouncing the word.<br>
<br>
It seemed the group as a whole was ready to head to the spectral falls. She patiently waited for somebody else to lead, as she would ensure her presence would be less noticeable if she were to stand from the back.<br>

<hr>Okay, well, by the sound of it, they had quite the task ahead of them. And, unfortunately, it seemed to progress, Todd was going to have to do what he’d been avoiding doing all this time – he was going to have to pay attention to the various ways the forest was trying to lead him astray. The waterfalls, the whispering trees, the spirits, and some ruins all had to be payed a visit. And then, at the end, one of them would have to remain bound in the forest. That person would not be him, Todd decided right then and there. And he would do his best to ensure it wasn’t Aya either. Even though she kind of seemed a bit of disappointed in him right now.<br>
<br>
“Ain’t trying to get into a fight,” Todd protested to Aya, “But if one starts, I’ll watch your back.”<br>
<br>
One by one, the other said their piece. First Amelia, then Aya, then Zohar. It did seem like their first destination would be back where they started, the waterfalls with their taunting windows into other worlds. At least that meant they knew where to begin. Zolgen…<br>
<br>
Well, to be honest, Todd wasn’t sure how to take Zolgen’s answer to The Morrigan. On one hand, encouraging her not to kill at least some of the time was nice. On the other, his judging of other lives based on how useful they could be seemed unfortunately typical of a demon. Well, if that was how Zolgen thought, maybe that meant that, as long as they were all trapped in this forest, they could trust the demon not to go murder happy. At least the demon didn’t get angry about Todd’s more or less refusal to give a straight answer to his own question. He claimed unfamiliarity with the location. The Kushtaka wasn’t sure if that was an attempt to fish for more information, and so he decided it was best not to take the potential bait. His answer there would stand as it was.<br>
<br>
As for The Morrigan, it honestly seemed like his words had confused her somehow. Which wasn’t a good start. And then she opened her mouth and removed all doubt. Maybe he should’ve picked a less crass idiom?<br>
<br>
“Oh, no, uh. That’s a figure of speech, it’s not literal,” he chuckled, nervously, “I mean he likes to rile people up, make ‘em angry so they do something dumb for his own amusement. He just likes being rude, basically!”<br>
<br>
Well, at least the angel seemed in better spirits? Though it seemed to the Kushtaka that ultimately the demon had had the more persuasive argument this time around. Which, was not good! But, it was like they said, Rome wasn’t built in a day! … Wait, where had he heard that before? Who was they and where was Rome?</div>

While the party pondered and continued to discuss their intentions, the deer that seemed to relay the words of the forest was gone. In the absence of the deer, the runes on the great tree throbbed and a light breeze swept over the golden field of flowers that surrounded the great tree. Spirits danced and mingled among the plants, as well as in the air. In contrast, the deep gloom of the trees that densely huddled together around the field of flowers was ominous to consider. Similarly, the ruins to the side of the clearing appeared more treacherous now despite nothing materially changing about them.<br>

Amelia, being a bit taken a back by everything seemed to only be pulled in one direction. Which was rather disturbing to the neko as she generally felt rather, well, free to do as she wished all the time. It was a foreign feeling one that made her increasingly uneasy. Yet, it didn't seem like she had a choice no matter what, so going against feelings of uncertainty took every last bit of courage to continue. <br>
<br>
Glancing a bit at Zohar she began after his own analysis. "Yeah, makes sense, I don't like the idea of being stuck somewhere even if it's as.. well.. pretty as this forest." She shrugged and started towards where her heart seemed to take her which was towards the ruins. <br>
<br>
Looking back at the others, "Hey, look, I know this is sort of a weird thing for all of us, but something tells me we should try to band together to get past this.. trail." She was rather nervous and she rarely ever took a leadership position, but in her mind, nobles were great leaders in their own right. Having all the luxurious things of the world also meant one risked much, even if it was political gain or what have you. <br>
<br>
Stepping forward, she readied herself and brought forth all of her senses as Amelia made her way to the challenge.</div>

You think I could meet her someday? After all if you came to this world then perhaps there are ways for us to enter into others..She sounds like someone who I could learn a thing or two from." </span>Zolgen replied chuckling a bit darkly, in common.<br>
<br>
Todd once again showed that he was being strategic, which Zolgen could respect well enough. He understood that many others in the group followed the sentiment that they didn't really want him or the Morrigan to just start killing people at a flip of a hat.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Yes in a world that doesn't very much want you to  reach your goals or perhaps exist in my case, I find it can be a pretty useful skill.."</span> Zolgen responded to the Morrigan.<br>
<br>
Zolgen took note that the deer had disappeared and felt the breeze as he headed with the rest of the group curious as to what was going to transpire now that a bulk of them were headed on the same path to the falls. He just hoped that Zohar knew what was he was talking about.<br>
<br>
The goblins were on the lookout as they were on their way, Zolgen paid close attention too unsure about the forest's possibility to shift. He gave a nod toward Amelia.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "Neither do I, I  think many of us have aspirations which we want to fulfill which go far beyond these strange woods.." </span>And upon hearing her mention the ruins, Zolgen looked to them curiously, getting ready to grip his blades as the environment started to look more dangerous for some reason...well the demon had followed Shuten on the basis of him hearing voices into much more dangerous looking places...so following Amelia wouldn't be much different than that..<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Hm...your feelings..intrigue me, and this trail suddenly looks a bit more..interesting  I think I'll support you in this endeavor maybe something of interest lies beyond."</span> Zolgen replied, drawing his large demonic cleaver like blades out, so he'd be ready to jump into action if need be, as he got ready to support her in moving forward there.</div>

<hr>People were getting a move on. Which meant he’d better get a move on, too. Amelia was headed towards the ruins, and it seemed like Zolgen was following her. But, that wasn’t right, was it? The fae deer had said there was an order that they had to visit these locations in. First, they had to return to the falls. Second was the whispering trees, then third to the meadow full of spirits, and then, finally, to the ruins. Todd opened his mouth, and reached out a paw, about to say something…<br>
<br>
But then he didn’t. If one of them had to remain, Zolgen or The Morrigan would be the best options for the sake of the rest of the world. So, if that were to be the case, wouldn’t it be for the best if he allowed the demon to self-sabotage, even if it risked taking Amelia down too? Thinking like that made him feel gross. But he couldn’t stop himself from setting his jaw and dropping his paw, doing nothing to stop the two of them as they wandered off in ostensibly the wrong direction.<br>
<br>
Instead, the Kushtaka turned on his heel and started making his way back, in the direction of the Spectral Falls. Hopefully others would follow him, but, he supposed, they each had to make their own decisions.</div>

<br>
The sun seemed caught, eternally hanging in the verge of setting, casting a permanent golden hue on the Elysium Meadows. A vast carpet of flowers stretched infinitely, each petal gleaming as if kissed by Midas himself. Every time the gentle wind whispered through them, the flowers responded with a shimmering dance, creating a cascade of golden ripples, ephemeral and enchanting. The meadow's scent was intoxicating, the very breath of ancient gods and forgotten times.<br>
<br>
But it was the Ruins of Aether that dominated the horizon. They stood defiantly at the edge of the meadows, a testament to time's paradoxical nature. Their bases were of ancient stone, weathered and covered in cryptic symbols of a language lost to the winds of time. These massive foundations seemed as old as the world itself. Rising from them were sleek, metallic structures of unknown alloys, reflecting the golden glow of the meadow while emitting a soft, otherworldly hum. At the top, amidst the intricate blend of old and new, were symbols made of holographic displays, shimmering and pulsating in the air, as if beckoning the brave or the foolish. A silken, glowing ribbon of light spiraled from the heart of the ruins upwards, creating a path that seemed both inviting and ominous.<br>
<br>
There was an air of promise and peril, an unspoken understanding that the ruins held secrets, but they weren’t to be given lightly. From the heart of the ruins, a melodious sound, like a distant song sung by sirens, called out, its tune resonating with the very fibers of one's soul, pulling them into the challenge it presented.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, past the resplendent horizon of the Elysium Meadows, Todd ventured into the dark embrace of the forest of towering Warden Trees. Their trunks were gnarled and ancient, their canopies so intertwined in silver leaves that they blotted out the golden remnants of the day, plunging the forest floor into an eerie twilight. Here, in the Soul Wood, the very essence of time seemed to slow and thicken, like treacle dripping from a spoon. The air itself felt dead in comparison to the breeze of the meadow.<br>
<br>
The path Todd traversed was interrupted by dark pools of water. Their surfaces were so still and inky that they appeared as voids in the earth, making it impossible to discern their depths. Streams, like capillaries, wove around the trees, their trickling water whispering tales of the ancient forest, leading inevitably to the distant Spectral Falls. Every so often, the melancholic hoot of an owl or the distant cry of an unseen creature pierced the quiet, emphasizing the forest's vastness and the smallness of any who dared tread within. <br>
<br>
The gloom was deceptive, and the shadows played tricks on the eyes. Landmarks blurred into one another, and paths that seemed straight twisted back on themselves. Without wit, without a keen sense of the world around him, Todd would become just another whisper in the dark annals of the Soul Wood. The only constant thing was the whispers of souls and the flow of water.<br>

He watched them silently, noting their expressions, appearance, and the way they each uniquely communicated. Clever, cautious, aggressive, inquisitive. Each of these words could be attributed to their natures in varying degrees. It was a simple thing all things considered. His assessment of them wasn't anything special, in fact such traits were very common. It was mere surface level psychology. But that simplicity was the very basis of consciousness it was everywhere within the world of man. The world that he was both tied to inexorably, and separated from by an infinite space. Figuratively and literally. It was something Zohar was still getting used too. For a brief moment he wondered if that women was feeling the same thing, twisted as she was.<br>
<br>
Zohar fell into step with Todd as they made for the Spectral Falls. Others went elsewhere towards the ruins. Divide and conquer, it was a strategy Zohar could get behind. Their goals would be accomplished sooner, and the distribution of responsibility was an important aspect of any team. They were strangers and some were uniquely different from each other, but this would build trust between them.<br>
<br>
Returning to the hulking trees that blocked out even the light they found an otherworldly scene. Just stepping into the dark forest caused a very change in the air. Compared tot he golden meadows there was a profound lack of something here. It was like they had stepped into another realm entirely despite having traveled a meager distance. Zohar stared into the dark pools that reflected no depth or ripple that could be easily discerned. The streams they were connected too weaved throughout the forest and around trees like arteries and Zohar knew from his previous experience that they likely led to the Spectral Falls. With his hands in his pockets Zohar observed the scene taking stock of their surroundings that were both familiar and utterly unknowable.<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Allow me to lead the way. I've encountered the anomalous properties of the Falls once before. I would advise against falling in carelessly we cannot be sure you will emerge, or even be in the same world after that. My constitution is suited to acting as the priority to be attacked or indisposed, meaning you will be safe to act as you will should that situation arise."</span></span><br>
<br>
Zohar had turned his head to speak those words to Todd oddly enough not noting whether Todd should help him or not if the worst came to pass. Then he began moving ahead following along the imaginary path the streams paved to the Falls. His white and slightly golden form standing out amongst the darkness of the forest. Appearing unflappable to the potential risks.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b><i><span style="font-size: 22px">The Morrigan</span></i></b><br>
<br>
tl;dr: Morrigan is ruffled by Zolgen's comment on wanting to meet her mother and decides he isn't worth talking to anymore. She finds Todd and Zohar and goes with them to the falls, and briefly comes to the conclusion that the falls could get them out if nothing else works.​</div><hr><br>
There wasn't much in the form of response to Zolgen, aside from a glare. <b>"If you were to enter my world and meet my mother, I am sure you would make for a good pawn, and that you would learn your place."</b> The feeling of... superiority wasn't the right word, as she didn't personally feel superior to Zolgen, but she was baffled and infuriated that he would compare himself to <i>her</i>. Her interest in the demon seemed to fade quickly after that, his words finding little purchase in her consciousness.  He was showing himself to be soft and full of himself, like Zohar. <b>"To even think of being equal to her is blasphemy. My interest in you had died. Enjoy your walk, Zolgen." </b>She stated to him curtly, turning away, her eyes scanning to find the top of Todd's furred head.<br>
<br>
<i>Righteousness. That's the feeling. I'm sure that's the feeling that I felt, to defend Mother like that.</i><br>
<br>
Step one, stare into the waters of the Spectral Falls, and don't drink any of it. Easy enough, just have to get there. Her eyes found the back of Todd's head, and right next to him was Zohar. Her lips turned into a frown as she considered just becoming the guardian to be rid of those who she disliked, but that would be going against her Mother's wishes, and she would never seriously entertain doing that. Her strides were long as she weaved through the pools of water that had settled on the path, her eyes focused on the two as she advanced. <br>
<br>
<i>Don't get lost don't get lost don't get lost</i><br>
<br>
The ambience of the forest was distracting. The calls of various spirits that seemed to originate from everywhere and nowhere, the cloying stagnancy of the air, the fact that the sun hadn't moved at all, her mind was alerting her that the natural order of things were deeply wrong here, but the Morrigan could not focus on that. She had to follow instruction and escape as soon as possible, and if the denizens of the forest themselves gave them a way out, she would take it. <br>
<br>
Finally, she had caught up to the pair. She heard the end of Zohar's statement to Todd, how he would be going first in case of anything bad happening. <b>"Hello Todd." </b>She said, making her presence known to the both of them. <b>"I have elected you to be the most responsible of this group of strangers that have been forced together in this scenario. I have decided to follow you until you infuriate me."</b> She stated plainly. Her wings were held close to her body as she matched pace with Zohar and Todd. <br>
<br>
Perhaps, if the opportunity came to it, she'd be able to see the anomalous properties of the Spectral Falls in action. Perhaps, it was a way out? It wasn't consistent to be sure, but if the trials were unattainable for whatever reason, she would at least have a backup plan.<br>
<br>
<b>"When we reach the falls, we should make a mental note that it could be a way out of this strange place, if all else fails."</b><br>

TLDR: Aya is disappointed and through she was free of Zohar only to have him reppear and tries to locate the origin of the water to find the falls.<br>
</div> <br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">Aya watched as the group seemed to branch off, to which she gave a disapproving shake of her head as Todd then went to go off by himself, though she knew they needed to do the challenges in order more than likely. But she also knew that it wasn't stated directly but she had a feeling they would build upon once another. Taking a deep breath, she turned on her heel and started to follow Todd toward the spectral falls or at least she hoped that was the case. But she was glad to be away from Zohar, the guy made the hair on her tail stand on end, and for some reason, she couldn't place her finger on it. <br>
<br>
As the path seemed to twist upon itself, Aya stopped for a moment, <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I think we need to take a moment and get our bearings." </span>Aya called out as she paused to look around as the images blurred and seemed to backtrack on themselves. <i><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">This whole place is just strange, the feeling that makes you on edge and the shadows I wonder what caused the whole thing to start. </span></i><span style="color: null">She thought to herself as she brought her hand up to her chin and closed her eyes momentarily. By that point she heard Zohar's voice to which she grinned her teeth together opening her eyes she shifted her gaze toward Zohar for only a moment before rolling her eyes. <br>
<br>
With the thorn in her side once again in her side, she started to walk down the path once again, if you could call if that. The forest seemed to be full of tricks which brought to her mind how many had died trying to get out of here and if that was the case where were the bodies of those? So many questions that could be answered at another time. But for now she knew that she had to focus on the task at hand. Clossing her eyes once again she used her hearing to try and locate the origin of the sounds of water. </span></span></div>

<hr>The eternally setting sun cast long, bizarre shadows across the forest. It was bad enough out in the open meadow, but here among the ancient, gnarled trees, it gave everything an eerie quality. The air was thick, the threes constantly reworked themselves into new locations. Paths opened and closed all around him. Time seemed to stand still, the Kushtaka thought that, if he got close enough to see it, he’d find dewdrops frozen on blades of grass. He did not like it here. Once again, the Kushtaka found himself gently laying a paw on the holster of his pistol, his ears flicking this way and that to pick up each errant sound.<br>
<br>
So, suffice to say, when The Morrigan spoke to him, he jumped, whirling around towards the sound of her voice. He was actually a little surprised to find that Aya, The Morrigan, and Zohar had come along with. Apparently they had all thought similarly to him, that the best place to start was the Spectral Falls. Seeing that made him feel a little better about his own decision. And, to be honest, he was really happy to not be alone here, even if two of his three traveling companions caused him some degree of concern.<br>
<br>
“O-oh! Howdy, ma’am!” he said, smiling at the angel. Apparently she found him responsible – or at least the most responsible of their little group. He did take some solace in the fact that he’d not yet done anything to infuriate her. “Well, ya flatter me. And I do apologize in advance if anything I say does end up, er…”<br>
<br>
How was he going to finish that statement? She hadn’t gotten his last idiom. ‘Rub her the wrong way?’ No. ‘Ruffle her feathers?’ Thematically appropriate, but maybe not. ‘Tick her off?’ Too informal, maybe?<br>
<br>
“… Infuriating you,” he finished, instead, deciding simplest might just be best.<br>
<br>
And, well, though it did cause him some degree of frustration, he did have to agree with the logic of Zohar’s statement. The man had been staring into the falls when they’d all met originally. If he wanted to take the lead in getting back to that place, by all means. Todd gestured the man on, then, noticing Aya’s clear disdain in the ghost’s presence, he shot her a sympathetic grin.<br>
<br>
“Best we all stick together, dunno if we’ll be able to link up again if anyone gets separated,” he said, gesturing onward. Zohar was already on the move, after all. As they all fell into step together, the Kushtaka mulled over what the angel said, about the falls being a potential way out of the forest if all else failed. He nodded, there was definitely potential there, though it brought along serious risk alongside it. He opened his mouth to say something, but, noticing Aya was clearly trying to focus, elected to hold off on further conversation as not to distract her.</div>

Zolgen all things was still ready to back up Amelia seeing that the others were doing their own thing. Regardless of what happened Zolgen was pretty confident that he could figure things out. Even if he was the last one stuck in this forest as a guardian, he'd still have options no doubt, that's at least what he reassured to himself mentally.<br>
<br>
Upon hearing the Morrigan's response to what Zolgen said in a light hearted way, caused him to let out a chuckle. "Now I wouldn't go that far, I just thought someone who held the prestigious distinction of an  Endbringer might have great wisdom  to share, but I believe you've given me some additional clarity, so I thank you for that."<br>
<br>
He tilted his head a bit back toward The Morrigan while she was presumably on her way.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"With that said, I like to think I've been rather charitable to an offworlder, if anything heed this, should you leave this place, I'd be careful about to who you share those kinds of thoughts with, I'd also,  suggest watching your back." </span>Zolgen's warm somewhat perhaps disturbingly so  tone shifted toward a more serious one toward the end before he let out another chuckle.<br>
<br>
That was a real shame, it sounded like she had so much potential but with a zealous attitude like that, the Morrigan was sounding more like a liability than an ally against humanity at the moment, so for now, he'd have to consider them as just another non monster to be wary of since she had made it clear he was 'no longer of interest'.<br>
<br>
He then turned to Amelia, <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Well that was a bit unfortunate, guess she didn't appreciate my sense humor Oh well, I do hope that you don't mind being my companion for getting through this then."</span> Zolgen said, before he  looked onward to the Ruins of Aether as he presumably got closer with her, the ancient sort, and cryptic symbols intriguing if because he thought there might be potential for power behind what laid there. ANd what were those structures? They looked unlike anything he had seen in this world or another if it was a powerful metal he wondered if there was anyway to harvest it and create better tools for carrying out his 'art'.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Well then Amelia..what do you say, should we follow that strange ray of light? It looks too intentional to just be naturally occurring.  I can't say I've quite seen anything like what's above..but perhaps it'll hold our key to getting out of this realm." </span>He spoke rationally. He awaited her response. The goblins just looked like they were on guard duty still, not really having reacted to that prior conversation, following Zolgen around.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I will say like the other areas especially if this is some kind of trial,  in a realm like this it can be difficult to tell what's reality and just some fae's idea of a joke..so we should  use special discretion with our actions" </span></div>

Seeing their short lived fellowship fall apart made the nekos ears droop a bit. "Hey! W-where are you all going?!" She called out, but something, inexplicably pulled at her towards the ruins. She huffed, letting out her stress and self doubt, activating her gauntlets as the Magi-Tech claws hummed to life. Zolgen seemed to have his own falling out with the majority. Then, when the demon inquired she looked over into his animal skull features which always seemed to state the same expression, "Feelings? Hm. I guess it kind of is a feeling." Then looking forward she nodded at his agreement to follow her, "Thanks. It seems like it's just you and me." Taking a step forward, "I haven't been scared before, and neither will I start feeling scared now." <br>
<br>
As she walked, it appeared Zolgen followed as well, making his own inquiries her eyes followed his descriptions, "Right, that ray of light would make the most sense. Although I can't shake this feeling that something is going to happen. I don't know what it is. It's like I'm about to fight my best friend to the death." Amelia shook her head, obviously disturbed by the paradoxical emotions but she maintained her composure as she went forward. Yet the demon clarified the trickery of the fae and it was a bit easier to deal with, "Right, let's just hope they really are just.. joking." She chuckled a bit, "Alright, let's do this "</div>

Tupu was somewhat astonished at the discovery of the vast opening with the great tree especially interested in the small fae that twinkled at them with a friendly hue. He quickly became much more on edge though seeing the deer appear and relay 'The words of the forest' or whatever it said to be honest this day was only becoming a headache to digest. Tupu then has a stone cold expression hearing the cost to escape this place and he felt the eyes of his company scan and and gaze at him quickly. Tupu stared uncaringly and sharp-eyed at the whole idea of going through trials to leave this place and still having a chance not to leave this place. He sighed saying casually "<b><i><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Always a but to add it seems.</span></i></b>" Tupu shakes his head as the group starts to split up. They we're given an order of the trials to follow. Yet some still decided to find their own way seemingly have already formed some type of companionship. Not a common sight between demons and beast-folk. He's used to seeing many demons kill most things on sight while beast-folk are either top athletes and entertainers or just the meanest thugs you could find. He feels it's nice to see something different from what he knows so Tupu waves off the majority of the group and  <b><i>[Jumping F]</i></b> to catch up to the two landing behind them gently. He holds his hand up for a friendly wave and says in a deep and friendly tone "<b><i><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Excuse me, Hope you don't mind me joining this duo as I have a thing against following orders from anything but a mouth I can trust. So lets all get the hell out of here....preferably all together in one piece.</span></i></b>"<br>

<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1698556999812-png.1121901/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1059/1059031-118a3282249e121de2c70b847cf9f8bc.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1698556999812.png" title="1698556999812.png" width="175" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<br>
In the heart of the Aether Ruins, a delicate dance of ancient and future played upon the senses. The walls, adorned with the intricate carvings of a civilization long forgotten, hummed with a melody that seemed to whisper secrets from another time. Amelia, Zolgen, Tupu, and the goblin minions moved cautiously, their footsteps echoing on the metallic ground, the golden light ever elusive, flickering just beyond their reach.<br>
<br>
The air was filled with the scent of age, of time, and a subtle hint of something indefinable, perhaps the very essence of the ruins themselves. It was a scent that promised knowledge and power, but also held a tinge of danger. The walls were cool to the touch, a stark contrast to the warmth of the golden light that danced teasingly in their peripheral vision.<br>
<br>
As the group delved deeper, the humming grew stronger, more insistent. It was as if the ruins themselves were alive, breathing, and watching their every move. They started experiencing sensations of being watched and sensing movement out of the corners of their eyes. Was that Amelia ducking into another hallway? No, Amelia was at their side. Did the shadow of Zolgen pass overhead? No, Zolgen was with them. Was it Tupu they saw passing beside them in the opposite direction on the other side of a foggy glass wall? No, Tupu had not left is spot with the group.<br>
<br>
The labyrinthine corridors of the ruins presented a challenge, a puzzle to be solved. Each turn, each doorway, seemed to lead them in circles, the golden light always just out of reach. And then, the path split, three ways, each bathed in the elusive golden light. The humming grew louder, more demanding, as if urging them to choose.<br>
<br>
But the ruins were selective, discerning. They would not bestow their secrets upon just anyone. And so, a choice had to be made. Only one could walk away with the reward, the knowledge and power of the Aether Ruins. The others, they would leave with nothing but the haunting melody and the memory of golden light dancing just out of reach. Which path would each choose if they would choose any at all? Left, Right, Straight.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)"><span style="font-size: 22px">Spectral Falls</span></span></b><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1698557228125-png.1121902/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1059/1059032-045d6c17c3b80986a6ee77fb09e8f1aa.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1698557228125.png" title="1698557228125.png" width="175" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
In the fridges of the wood, the world was alive and shifting. Todd, Zohar, The Morrigan, and Aya moved carefully, guided by Aya’s heightened senses through the treacherous terrain. The trees seemed to whisper secrets, their branches swaying, changing the path before them.<br>
<br>
The ground beneath their feet was uncertain, water pooling and streaming about their feet without warning. The forest was a living entity, and it did not seem to take kindly to intruders. But Aya, with her heightened senses, kept them moving forward, steady and sure.<br>
<br>
And then, they arrived. The Spectral Falls, a sight to behold and a roar of water rushing from heights unseen to depths too deep. The water cascaded down, shimmering in the dim light, creating a mist that filled the air. In the droplets of fall spray, the ripples of the water at their feet, and the reflections in the pool at the base of the falls, visions appeared. A golden mist coming off the spray also  reminded them of the golden fog that lingered around the edges of the wood and was visible once more.<br>
<br>
Other worlds, other lives, played out before their eyes. Some were familiar, echoes of their own past. Others were foreign, strange, and unsettling. Some ended in pure light, a promise of hope and renewal(false). Others were consumed by flames or smothered in darkness, a reminder of the fragility(persistence) of existence.<br>
<br>
The falls held a magic of their own, a connection to other worlds, other times. And yet, they were also a trap. For those who dared to immerse themselves in the water found themselves caught in the grasp of shadows and phantoms, reliving the ends of worlds over and over again, each splash of the water a new torment, a new end, but it was only submerged in the waters that any would see the light of the piece they sought after. <br>

<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"For survival purposes that's certainly the best move, you have no reason to be afraid, I have a target much larger on my back then you do yours, if we run into something It's much more likely to come for me first." </span> Zolgen reaffirmed to Amelia with a somewhat encouraging positive intonation.  Statistically speaking this was true just given Zolgen's nature, regardless.<br>
<br>
Looks like it wouldn't just have to be the two of them in actuality, thankfully. The greater the number the greater the odds.<br>
<br>
After signaling to the goblins that Tupu was fine, Zolgen responded <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Interested in joining us huh? I say the more the merrier especially  if you aren't deterred by me. I agree, I say we should prioritize getting ourselves out, it's apparent to me some of the others aren't as open minded as you two are."</span> Zolgen replied chuckling a bit, presuming that Amelia wouldn't have objections to this arrangement if it furthered their chances of getting out.<br>
<br>
Once those interactions came to pass, and they moved farther in Zolgen was left admiring the surrounding area to an extent, while he didn't care too much about the existence of  some ancient culture like some academic might, personally, he did care that the key to the power he desired might be within these ruins.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Yeah, this is exactly the kind of place I'm expecting a trap or some other kind of  detrimental defensive mechanism to us leaving this forest, I will restate again, we should exercise additional caution in here."</span> Zolgen kept his Goblins close as a result. If worse came to worse he could instruct one to investigate if something was safe ahead of them, after all the goblins were disposable to me.<br>
<br>
Zolgen let out a sound of exasperation when his senses were bombarded with what appeared to be potential movement, keeping his blades drawn for the time being.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I think there might be more illusion magic at play yet again." </span>He shared with the the group in common.<br>
<br>
 But it wasn't too long before they came up to more tricks which were before them, three paths with no explicit difference besides which direction they went. They were all enveloped in that light, at this point, Zolgen didn't feel like turning back when the potential was right there, not after they came so far in this labyrinth which was obviously intentionally  disorientating to navigate. He would speak his opinion to the group.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Sometimes, despite all the noise and sights , the best choice is the most simple one, if you two wish to continue onwards, I believe that the straight path may lead somewhere beneficial, but should you both agree to go elsewhere then out of the principle of our alliance I shall follow, even If I believe there is a great potential for what we desire should we follow one of these pathes." </span>Truthfully Zolgen was just speaking on a hunch now, a rationale as good as anyone else would have given how similar the paths looked.</div>

<br>
tl;dr: morri looks into a fall and sees herself as a human, happy. She doesn't like that, and attempts to make progress.​</div><hr>Another new experience. Toes with silt in between them. The texture was pleasant, in a way. Deeply unpleasant in other ways. She didn't appreciate the cold and damp feeling her feet felt as she lifted them from the ground, but simultaneously enjoyed the feeling of squishy dirt and mud under her feet and the knowledge that her footprint would be left behind. It was illogical, a forest is a living ecosystem where many footprints are left by many creatures at all times, but the idea that her footprint would at least be left somewhere, recognized by somebody, comforted her.<br>
<br>
She glided across the ground, each step as effortless as the last, each step bringing more of that wetness to her senses. Now, she was ankle-deep in water that seemed to shimmer and shine, a chromatic reflection of herself in the water. She could see herself, then something else. It was in her shape, but it seemed softer. Less angular, more rounded. The reflection's hair was long and blonde, eyes blue, and she had a purple hairband to keep her hair out of her eyes. She wore a puffer jacket, jeans, out-of-place boots, and a backpack. She seemed to be walking alongside somebody else in a forest dissimilar to hers, but the Morrigan couldn't make out more than that. This reflection seemed confused for only a moment, but then...<br>
<br>
The reflection seemed to smile. Lightly, as if remembering something fondly. <br>
<br>
<i>Why was she happy?</i><br>
<br>
The reflection disappeared, and the angel was left staring at her own confused face -the wings, the black eyes, the feathers that substituted her eyebrows. A sense of unease passed through her as she considered the implications of what she just saw. Blasphemy. This forest had it out for her, and she knew it. The Morrigan steeled herself, eyes dead set ahead of her, determined not to catch a reflection of herself again. <br>
<br>
<b>"This place unsettles me."</b> She announced to the group. <b>"Does anyone know what we're supposed to do? What did the elk instruct us to do? Peer into the water?" </b>Her eyes drifted across the cascading waterfalls around her, a look of discomfort and uncertainty painting her face.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Amelia seemed to relax a bit at the demons words, even though he was quite the fright to look at, his words somehow brought the naive neko a bit of ease. "Hm yeah I guess you're right." She said with a shrug and a tilt of her head, "Yeah, but then you'd be busted pfft!" She barely chuckled before continuing. Suddenly at the corner of her eyes she'd swear she'd see Zolgen, "Wait- I.." she stuttered before looking to her side and noticing Zolgen, "Did you just-" shaking her head and shutting her eyes as she bonked her head with her gauntlets, "No I'm seeing things." She told herself in assurement. <br>
<br>
Upon coming to the three divided paths she looked to those besides her, "Yeah, I think we should listen to the skull and go straight." She gulped a bit but her courage was unwavering, "Right. Come on." She continued, heeding the demon Zolgens warnings and keeping her senses heightened for any ripple or rap that could be picked up, however, there was something different, it felt like something was looking at them now. "Ugh.. what's with the creepy feeling!?"</div>

<hr>Well, slowly but surely, they made their way on, following Aya’s keen senses as she lead them to the falls. The water fell, from a place too high to see the source, and into a pool too deep to see the bottom. It was quite possible that neither such thing truly existed, that the water fell from nowhere, into nowhere, only briefly pooling here in this world before moving on to the next. It pooled around his feet, reaching up to his ankles, soaking the bandages he’d wrapped around them, only just as quickly to vanish entirely with the next footfall.<br>
<br>
In the reflection of the water, Todd caught glimpses of a man he didn’t know, who lived in a world he’d never seen. In one puddle, the man lived in a world of iron and steam, dusty frontier towns and long nights on horseback. In another, he lived on densely packed cobbled streets, in a city of secrets, promising safety to those the city left behind. In yet a third, the man lived a peaceful life in a small world of cables and concrete, never knowing the dangers that laid beyond the walls of his community. And on and on, until Todd could no longer keep track of them all. The Kushtaka thumped his tail into the water, turning its vision of a world unknown to a kaleidoscope of smaller scenes as the water splashed around him.<br>
<br>
The Morrigan wasn’t the only one feeling unsettled. Though, hearing the angel was feeling as uncomfortable as he was somehow made the Kushtaka feel a little better. It was nice to know he wasn’t the only one. He folded his arms, trying to think back to what it was, exactly, they were supposed to be doing here.<br>
<br>
“He said something about the cascade revealing what it was that was binding us,” Todd said, “Maybe that means we have to get up to the waterfall itself?”<br>
<br>
He glanced out across the pool, at the constantly falling wall of water, and frowned. “I’ll try swimming out to it. So, uh, hope you all wouldn’t mind giving me a little privacy…”<br>
<br>
The inside of his ears flushed a little red, but, he was a Kushtaka, swimming was in his nature. That made him the most practical choice. So, he found a decently high rock that didn’t seem to be getting particularly wet on the top, and stripped down to his undergarments, placing his clothes on said rock. By now fully embarrassed and regretting every moment of his life that lead him to this point, the Kushtaka looked out across the water again.<br>
<br>
“Right… Here I go,” he muttered, more to himself than anyone else. Then he took a deep breath, dived in, and started swimming.<br>
<br>

<b>OOC</b>: dslix skip 4. emiyaman skip 3. shadowfall skip 1. saxon dropped.  Bit light on posts, but i'd say the most diligent are still in it to win it. Guess it makes who will get left behind more apparent XD<br>

<b>TLDR</b>: Amelia and Zolden find themselves apparently trapped in a room will trap whoever does not possess the orb and potentially cause the death of whoever does take the orb. The Morrigan and Todd have successfully collected what they needed from the falls and learned one of the truths associated with this purgatory for souls.<br>

Beneath the towering arches of the Aether Ruins, an eerie symphony played its melancholy tune, the air itself a choir of whispers and echoes. It was as if the very stones were imprinted with ancient psalms, their voices an amalgam of past sighs and the breath of the universe. Zolgen, his goblin entourage, and Amelia navigated this colossal crypt of time, their footsteps insignificant upon the eternities of dust that lay undisturbed, their presence a mere footnote in the saga of this place.<br>
<br>
They walked, not as intruders, but as threads being woven into the ever-expanding tapestry of the ruins’ narrative. The passage they chose was but one of many arteries leading to the heart of the labyrinth—a chamber where reality seemed to fold upon itself, a chamber illuminated by a singular golden pillar of light that hummed with the purity of an untouched dawn.<br>
<br>
The light cradled an orb within its golden beams, pulsing with a rhythm that tugged at the core of their beings—a rhythm that mirrored the beat of a heart, or perhaps the ticking of a cosmic clock. This room was alive, not with breath, but with memory, potential, and the weight of unmade choices.<br>
<br>
As Zolgen and Amelia stepped into the space, they were greeted by the dance of phantasms, echoes of possible selves. These specters engaged in a macabre ballet, each one a possibility, a might-have-been, or a never-was. They were countless, these ghostly doppelgängers, eternally reaching for the orb, grasping at destiny only to be undone by invisible fates. It was a loop of ambition and consequence, a cautionary chorus that sang of desire's double edge—the allure of the orb, the inevitability of the fall.<br>
<br>
In this spectral masquerade, the truth was a chilling whisper at the nape of the neck: To covet the orb was to invite demise; to ignore it was to accept a purgatory within these stone walls. The orb, indifferent to the plight of its would-be possessors, continued its siren call, a beacon to both the greedy and the cautious.<br>

Elsewhere, the Spectral Falls wore their name well. The water cascaded with the grace of silk, a fluid veil concealing untold mysteries. It was a place where liquid mirrors held not reflections but windows, openings to the might-have-beens.<br>
<br>
The Morrigan and Todd stood at the precipice of understanding, gazing into the abyssal depths that promised both enlightenment and entrapment. Todd, with the innate prowess of his kin, dove into the waters that were as much a psychological expanse as a physical one. He fought not just the tide but the tendrils of history, the spectral hands that sought to anchor him to bygone eras and forgotten faces.<br>
<br>
The water fought him like a living thing, each wave a challenge, each current a test of resolve. Yet Todd moved with a determination that was born from the knowledge that to falter was to fade into the annals of the falls.<br>
<br>
When his fingers finally brushed against the orb, reality peeled away, layer by layer, revealing the soulscapes of existence. Lives—his, others', past selves and parallel possibilities—swirled in a kaleidoscope of truths and revelations. It was a map of souls, of existences siphoned and segregated, all tethered to the great tree at the soul wood's heart, pulsing with the power that held them captive. The tree was both jailer and liberator, its roots the chains and its sap the key to their release.<br>
<br>
In touching the orb, Todd understood. The great tree was the beginning and the end, and their liberation was entwined with its enigmatic purpose—a riddle wrapped in the enigma of the ages, waiting to be unraveled. Todd would shine with an eerie light when he chose to reemerge from the waters. He would know it was time to return to the tree, at least, for him it was.<br>

<hr>By the time Todd hauled himself back to the shallows, he was feeling both physically and mentally drained. It had been hard going at points, and he was perhaps a little out of practice. No, even if that was the case, the forest hadn’t wanted him to reach the orb. Had a lesser swimmer than him made the attempt, they likely would have suffered a fate worse than death. He looked down at his shaking paws, taking in the ghostly light he was giving off. Then he looked back towards where he’d left the others. Aya and the ghost were gone, already moved on to the next challenge, perhaps? The angel remained.<br>
<br>
The Kushtaka dressed himself quickly as he could, but with the adrenaline fading from his body, he ended up fumbling with the buttons of his pants and shirt a few times, and then had trouble looping his belt. Once he was finally, mercifully, presentable again, he returned to The Morrigan, giving her a weak but hopefully still reassuring grin.<br>
<br>
“We’d better make our way back, if we want to meet up to the others,” he said, “If I remember right, we passed the whispering trees and the dancing ghosts on the way to the tree, and the ruins were over yonder as well.”<br>
<br>
He didn’t like this strange feeling in his gut. The one telling him to return to the tree as quickly as possible. Part of him hoped the Angel would object, or otherwise might want to stop at one of the other two spots for an extended period, even if that might mean wasting time they didn’t have. Above all, he couldn’t wait to be out of this forest. He really wanted to go back to the Republic, back to the familiar comforts of Nan Gau.<br>
<br>
“What do you think? Do you want to try taking on one of the other challenges?” He asked, perhaps a bit too hopefully.</div>

<br>
<b>TLDR</b> Zolgen goes for the orb and tells Amelia to let him handle it due to the additional danger he feels. Orders goblins to be on standby in monster incase something tries to attack or prevent him from completing the action.<br>
<br>
What Zolgen wasn't expecting was to walk with his goblins and hear some strange tune that started up which had not been there before. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Say..Amelia do you hear that music too?" </span> Her comment about things being creepy would have been spot on if he was still a human, but feeling like the predator he was, he wasn't nearly as intimidated as he would have been otherwise. He'd ask in common curiously, looking around with his blades still in hand around the space to see if he could figure out where it was coming from. He had no idea what language was on the stones, something far beyond what the demon seemed to understand, but what he did know was that if he stayed true..there was bound to be power here that he could obtain for himself, and use it against the world..It was only encouraging to him, where there was danger there must have been SOMETHING someone else didn't want them getting..well Zolgen would show whatever built these ruins that he was up to play their dangerous game.<br>
<br>
Zolgen practically felt drawn to this heart with the path he had chosen in that split instance, and it looked like Amelia was fine with going that way herself. This made his job much easier. But then there were Phantasms..that Zolgen doubted he'd be able to actually be able to hit..This reminded him of some ball but with spirits as the participants and it looked like ghosts were trying to grab the orb..at least Zolgen thought their were ghosts. Despite the fantastical archetecture, and the spectacle of ghostly figures, Zolgen knew what he needed to do intrinsically when he saw that orb. Despite the feeling of potential of danger he got, he wanted it for himself so he was going to act quickly before the others could. Zolgen spoke in monster to his goblins <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "#Protect me.#"</span>  Afterward without a word Zolgen put his swords away and  used his speed and height to attempt to reach the orb so he could possess it. The goblins on the other hand moved with their pointy sticks drawn ready to retaliate toward anything that tried to stop Zolgen from getting the orb.<br>

He still wasn't sure what her fighting capabilities were,  and while  he did find her entertaining however if need be  and she didn't heed his words,  he would probably be in a position where he'd need to kill her  should she decide to become an additional obstacle to him getting the power  he desired and leaving these ruins, these  thoughts in the back of his mind while he acted.</div>

<br>
tl;dr: morrigan watched todd do his thing, then discusses what they should do next.​</div><hr>It seemed that Todd had interpreted what the fey creature- <i>Fey creature. I didn't have a name for them before, but now I do. Why is that?</i> The creature in question, the strange elk's words seemingly had not fallen on deaf ears. Todd made it apparent that he thought he should swim through the waterfall, and though the Morrigan began to object silently, stepping into the lapping waters, she noted that Todd wanted privacy for what he was about to do. She thought about it for a moment, to perhaps reason with him that there was another interpretation, another way for them to push through this encounter. Still, eventually, she simply turned away, her mass of feathered wings obscuring him from her vision. <br>
<br>
She watched intently as he dove and fought through the waters. She swore that hands reached out to grip him, to reach and drag him down into the depths. She willed him to push forward, extending her mental might to try and raise him through the air and past the water, but to no avail. She was not her mother. She could only watch as the creature that she considered friend did what his species did best: swim for his life. <br>
<br>
There was silence then, and the light. Her wings granted him modesty from her eyes as he exited the waters, an artifact in hand. This was the key to their escape that was mentioned earlier, but the mortal wanted a moment to dress himself. <i>Strange. I suppose privacy is an important matter for mortals. </i>She stared back into the pools of the falls again, her face echoed in different reflections of herself, so few serving mother. She didn't understand. She didn't want to understand. She kicked at the water, scattering the mirrored reflections into tiny shards, tinier realities, tinier possibilities. <br>
<br>
It was then, that the Kushtaka returned, dressed. He remarked how they might want to try one of the other challenges or return to the tree.<br>
<br>
<b>"One of the other challenges?" </b>She asked quizzically. <b>"You hold a key in your hands to escape, do you not? Perhaps we should make good on it and <i>do so</i>. We should return to the tree at once, the sooner we leave the better."</b> A beat passed as she thought about the implication of a key. Was it personal? <b>"Maybe we should visit another challenge. I am unsure if this key of yours will be kind enough to allow more than one person to use it."</b><br>

<hr>The Kushtaka nodded, a bit glumly. “Fae are… Tricky sorts. Can’t rightly say if this one orb’ll be enough to get us both out or not. Figure as long as we’re passing the other challenges on the way back, grabbing another’ll make for good insurance.”<br>
<br>
He was worried about Aya. Had she already made good her own escape, or was she lost somewhere else in this forest? He had to trust that she knew what she was doing, and would be okay without him. After all, she’d done perfectly well for herself before they’d met, why would that change now? He nodded to himself, then took a deep breath.<br>
<br>
“Alright, we’d better get a move on. Stop me when we reach the challenge you want to attempt, okay?”<br>
<br>
And with that, the Kushtaka lead them on, letting the feeling in his stomach, the need to return to the tree, guide him. After some moments of silence, he opened his mouth again to speak.<br>
<br>
“I think… Something about that big old tree’s sap will help us get out of here,” he said, “But I’m not sure how yet. If we need to drink it, or what. It’s just a bit of knowledge that’s been nagging at the back of my head since I touched the orb.”</div>

<br>
In the Aether Ruins, where time was a palimpsest of echoes, and reality wove in and out like a sly cat through the legs of the improbable, Zolgen stood—a figure bathed in the eerie luminescence of the chamber. The orb had chosen him, or perhaps it had always been so, and it settled into his being with the comfort of a well-worn cloak. The ruins whispered to him, not in words, but in memories that dripped down the ancient stone walls like condensation, pooling into the tapestry of his newfound knowledge.<br>
<br>
The air was thick with the scent of old stone and forgotten magics, the hum of arcane energy almost a physical presence. The walls pulsed gently, in rhythm with Zolgen's newfound heartbeat, the echoes of the orb's power. The chamber seemed to breathe with him, barriers manifesting with the silent solidity of finality, a cyclical tomb that had witnessed its own story too many times.<br>
<br>
Amelia, who moved through the newly confined space, was not herself alone. She was every Amelia that had ever been in that room, a haunting parade of possibilities and ended certainties. The flash of light had carved through the darkness, etching the past into her vision, a macabre dance of what had been. Her shadows flickered against the barriers, each a silent accusation, a memory of abandonment, of betrayal, where each Amelia was left, a sacrificial ghost to the chamber’s insatiable appetite.<br>
<br>
It became clear to both of them as their memories were repaired in a flash of light: only one of them was leaving the chamber. Zolgen, with orb a part of his being, could only be stopped if Amelia killed him. This moment had played out to the both of them countless times before and here they were again. They already knew what would happen if they fought. They already knew if what happened if they didn't fight. They knew everything they had ever done in that room and that in none of the things they did thus far did both of them leave the chamber.<br>

Outside, in the malevolent embrace of the dark forest, Todd bore the weight of the orb within him. It was a subtle heaviness, a knowledge that beckoned the trees to bow, the shadows to retreat, offering a path illuminated by the pallid light of the orb’s essence. The Morrigan, ethereal and out of place amidst the gnarled trunks and whispering leaves, found her way marred by roots that did not part for her, by brambles that sought to grasp and claim.<br>
<br>
The forest itself was a sentient creature, ancient beyond measure, watching through the eyes of crows perched upon twisted limbs. The soil underfoot was not merely earth but the compacted story of all who had traversed these woods, a carpet woven from the threads of their fate. The breeze carried murmurs, not of wind through leaves, but the sighs of those other souls, the ones who were no longer present. Their absence was a void filled with the rustle of leaves, the distant crack of a branch—were they claimed by the forest, or seeking other orbs, entrapped in their own duels with destiny?<br>
<br>
The heart of the forest throbbed in time with the ruins and deep wood, a creaking and swishing sound that spoke of life and demise orchestrated by the unfathomable will of the place the party found themselves trapped in. The roots snaked deep, entwined with the very fabric of reality, every sapling a potential sentinel, every leaf a silent witness. The party was scattered now, threads pulled taut in the weave of the wood's enigmatic intentions, each step they took, an extra revelation.<br>

The next experience which took place was strange, the way the orb seemed to practically merge into him..new power and knoweldge felt from the ruins, this is what Zolgen wanted. He wasn't about to let it be taken away from him. His lust for power was far too strong..he still had so many to make pay for taking Gra away from him. He survived too long in this new world to just give up now, even if it meant killing this other wise entertaining young woman. at the end of the day Zolgen was a monster, who had to face off against the world on the regular, and the ruins only just now created an environment where he was going to have to do the same. Under other circumstances he might have given Amelia  a fair warning, but as soon as he felt the power settle the ruins sent the idea to his very core that only one of them would be leaving and the one who he was going to prioritize of course was himself.<br>
<br>
This wasn't a difficult decision for Zolgen to make, he stood by the words he had spoken to Achu, he was an absolute predator who was going to carve his way throuh the world, and enjoy himself while doing it, just like those he had slaughtered in his previous life. Hopefully the facade he had put up earlier would act to his advantage, of course he knew very well Ameila might have gotten the same feeling he did, that the only way forward was violence.<br>
<br>
"#Very well I'll meet your conditions.#" He spoke in monster to no one in particular, perhaps just speaking to the powers at play within the ruins. He hoped that if he was successful he'd gain a further understanding of this power, for now he'd direct his goblins to strike.<br>
<br>
"#Work together and attack her, then clear out of my way.#" He commanded to them in monster.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b>Goblin Javelineers<br>

Never the less The goblins were excited at the prospect of killing, since it meant that perhaps they'd get to share in some of the loot, or if they did well enough they might be rewarded.<br>
<br>
The five Goblin Javlineers approached Amelia quickly in a spread out javelineer wall line, running over to her when they were within range they all attacked with:<br>
Long Thrust - Fighting Style Gobbish Javelineer F, Ranged F<br>
Goblin Javelineer attempts to strike single target up to 10 ft away in front of them. Grade F - 0 post cooldown<br>
<br>
The goblins then dispersed onto either side to make room for Zolgen.<br>

After that opening Zolgen rushed forward, wielding his twin blades. When he was within a 5 ft  range he attacked Amelia with a <b>Demonic Traveling Twin Slash</b> ability.

					<div class="bbWrapper">Amelia took a few steps back, noticing something fairly odd about the goblins. "I-is everything okay?" She asked a big nervously, but somewhere deep down she knew the truth. Only confirmed by the seemingly secret language and command Zolgen gave his subordinates.<br>
<br>
"Right." Spreading her gauntlets she let out a determined sigh. "Desires, compel us to act, even if it means betraying."<br>
<br>
Taking a few more steps back however, "It doesn't have to be this way, demon!"<br>
<br>
What little desire she felt to save Zolgen from himself was waning fast. Perhaps it was her foolish trust. Or feline curiosity.<br>
<br>
When the goblins seemed to surround her, the neko huffed, "Well, who is first?" But before that question could be answered she'd quickly activate [Pre-Cognition F] (I know skills can't be used like this but I don't have any other ideas! T.T ) to notice the attack before it happened. Action 1.<br>
<br>
Amelia would quickly act by moving out of range. [Fast F]  Action 2<br>
<br>
Action 3 Then would use Mysterious Mist F on Zolgen. Blinding and asphyxiating everything within it's 30 ft range.</div>

tl;dr: morrigan follows todd and asks what they should do​</div><hr>As they walked, aimlessly at that, the way weaved in the way of her as she walked. She could barely keep up pace with the Kushtaka, only following the orb's light from the encroaching darkness of the forest, and the whispers. The whispers. They were unceasing, uncaring, unending. She felt as if her head would grow cold, her ears would fall off, her skin would crack and slough off, and then...<br>
<br>
<b>"Please slow down Todd. My feet can barely keep up with you."</b><br>
<br>
Her voice was quiet, weak. <b>"I am feeling strong uncertainty for the first time Todd, I am unsure if drinking the sap is a good idea." </b>Her foot was caught underneath denser underbrush, and she fell face-first into the unkind greenery. <br>
<br>
It was cold. Unwelcoming. It wanted her to die, but not become a part of the soil. She could never be a part of the soil, a part of this place. Hurriedly, she stood back up.<br>
<br>
<b>"Perhaps we can find the others?" </b>She piped up. <b>"I think we can come to a clear consensus if the two of us have further opinions!" </b>She rushed along to try and catch up. <b>"Let's take a break. Are you sure the sap will save us, and not seal us? I want to return to your people with you Todd! Not be trapped here!" </b>Her voice quavered with fear and anxiety. <b>"I don't want to die here!"</b><br>

<hr>He hadn’t realized The Morrigan was falling behind until she’d spoken up. He turned, and, not spotting her, followed the sound of her voice back the way he’d come. When Todd found the angel again, she was face first in the mud. The Kushtaka picked his way over to her, and was about to offer a paw when she climbed back to her feet herself. Instead, his half outstretched paw clenched, and he pulled it back to his muzzle, feeling more than a little ashamed he hadn’t realized her predicament earlier.<br>
<br>
“Sorry, didn’t mean to leave you behind, there… And, well, maybe we don’t gotta drink it, but I know that sap’s important somehow,” the Kushtaka conceded. “It’s the roots we gotta watch out for.”<br>
<br>
His eyes drifted down to the ground, to the tangled mess of underbrush that had tripped up The Morrigan. Maybe that was meant more literally than he knew? He frowned, deeply, not really wanting to wait here any longer, in case things somehow got even worse. So he looked back up at the angel, and returned to his reassuring grin.<br>
<br>
“Sure, I’d love to show ya Nan Gau, bunch of good, hard workin’ folks there. You’ll fit right in! Then Miss Aya and I can introduce ya to Sariella. She can be a bit of a brat, but she is just a kid. Still, I think she’d like you!” The Kushtaka said, good naturedly. He tried to keep his voice soothing, despite the anxiety he was feeling himself. He didn’t want to wait here, but he also didn’t want to risk leaving the angel behind. So, instead, Todd reached out a paw, to grasp The Morrigan’s hand in his. “Hope you’ll pardon the indiscretion, but we should probably keep movin’. We can wait for the others by the tree and compare notes, like ya said. They’ll all be headin’ back there!”<br>
<br>
And so, gently, the Kushtaka tried again to lead the angel onward, keeping her hand in his.</div>

A dance of destiny unfolded, where steel met steel, and cunning clashed with resolve. Amelia, her gauntlets shattered, was a tempest of defiance against Zolgen, a demon whose determination was as unyielding as the ancient stones around them. Their conflict was one of survival, echoing through the chamber with the ferocity of warriors bound by fate. Amelia, beaten and flung backward, her body painting a crimson arc through the air, collided with the far wall. The impact would have rendered any mortal unconscious, yet something extraordinary occurred.<br>
<br>
As Amelia lay in a pool of her own blood, the golden pillar of light that once cradled the orb enveloped her after she had passed through it previously mid-flight. In this moment, she was transformed, not just in body but in essence. A halo, crown-like and discolored, manifested around her head, signifying a nobility and divinity born of sacrifice and suffering. It was a key, much like the orb within Zolgen, wrought from the countless lives that had tread this path before. The rules of the chamber had changed; now, neither needed to be left behind. The choice lay before them - to continue their duel, each fueled by newfound power, or to seize this opportunity and escape together, leaving the trapped goblins to their eternal prison.<br>

In the forest, Todd and The Morrigan journeyed towards the heart of the forest, a path lit by the subtle glow of the orb within Todd. Their path was one of some sort of providence, the heart of the forest calling to them, its pulse echoing through the very air. Todd, driven by a knowledge he couldn’t fully comprehend, led the way with a quiet conviction. The great tree awaited, its roots deep and secrets profound, a nexus of fate where their journey would find its crescendo.<br>
<br>
The forest itself seemed to hold its breath as they neared its inner edge, the atmosphere charged with anticipation. The meadow was familiar but many of the spirits that had been around previously were gone. The eternal twilight also seemed later that it had been. Both would have a sense the soul wood was reaching some sort of climax, but the ultimate outcome was anyone's guess. The lone forest spirit, the stag, that had spoken to them earlier stood in the growing shade of the heart of the forest. It would watch the 2 that emerged from the forest where several had once entered. If the two wished to speak with the stag again, they would need to go out of there way to do so as it remained content to stay in place.<br>

Thankfully it looked like Zolgen and his goblins managed to down her pretty quickly, as he would have been expected. In a live or die scenario no matter how much he liked someone, Zolgen would have to prioritize himself in the vast majority of cases. He watched as the crimson came out and he felt a sense of elevation from appealing to his innate blood lust. It always brought back memories of his past and just how what would be horrifying to others he was quite fond of partaking in. As she collided against the wall Zolgen assumed that it was said and done as if that hadn't outright killed her, surely she would have lost consciousness at that point. He had half a notion to walk over and inflict a decisively fatal blow just for assurance that she wouldn't be a problem later for him should she survive but then something strange happened. Zolgen got the sudden sense that the rules had changed.<br>
<br>
He had to put in some effort to cease his activity when he realized the ruins' rules shift. Especially after he saw that miraculously she had some kind of power herself now exuding off of her, which no doubt prevented his blows from killing or knocking her out.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"It looks like it actually doesn't have to be this way after all." </span>He spoke to her in common once more.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"However, I will make one thing absolutely clear, I did not betray you, Amelia. It became apparent it  was between my life or yours and had we not fought the ruins would have claimed both our lives, it was nothing personal, I actually rather like you, but I understand if there may be hard feelings after that." </span>He said casually toward the end.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"But when given the choice to live or not, I will always choose to live, I take it you understand that much."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #b8312f">"Given this shift of circumstances I have a new proposal, your gantlets have shattered and while I can feel something different about you, I think you're well aware of our difference in power. It is to my understanding that the Ruins simply need to be satiated, something lost for something gained. If you wish to walk out of here alive with me, I will leave my goblins here in our place so that the ruins may take them as the cost, but in return I expect that you'll put this incident behind us and continue to work with me for us to both leave this forest. This means if given the option, you will prioritize you and myself leaving as I will for you.  After the point  which we have successfully left this strange forest, whether you want anything to do with me again is up to you." </span><br>
<br>
The demon made the proposal, however he was more than ready to keep fighting should she not agree. While it would have been just as easy for the demon to try to finish her off, he felt having an ally when there were so many against him was a good idea, even with the new power he didn't understand the full implications.</div>

<br>
Within her attempt to set up an attack, Amelias gauntlets shattered by a cunning demonic cleaver. Immediately followed up by a fatal blow that both sliced and threw her towards a solid wall.<br>
<br>
However just as it seemed like everything was lost, a strange thing had happened mid air. The neko seemed to have been touched by some sort of divine energy. As her vitals seeped onto the ground, she seemed to be filled by a divine sense of purpose. It felt as if all of her previous and future lives all came together into the present moment; into her current incarnation.<br>
<br>
Gauntlets broken, her hands were exposed as she picked herself up as the halo over her head radiated transparent like yet wispy and visible. Hands filled with her blood she slowly rose as the demon spoke. Revenge, no longer seemed like something she wanted to take, she wanted to outgrow the pettiness of the. world. There was suddenly no longer a desire, she had everything she could ever want: A divine affirmation of her nobility.<br>
<br>
"Let us not quarrel like cats and dogs, demon. You did what you had to do, I choose to continue. And perhaps, even, spare your life." There was a solemnity in her voice, but it wasn't threatening. It was that of someone who preferred to move on than to fight. "I like this proposition." She said with a nod, "However, when, we get out of here. Seek me out, I might have a little task which may require your.. talents." The nekos gait was changed, she was no longer the farmers market fish merchant. She was very much as one would see a duchess. However, much needed to be prepared until such a title was given.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Shall we go?" She asked the demon nonchalantly. "This place has served it's purpose."</div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1700103451509-png.1124847/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1061/1061976-6536897dd9bf9f0c3fdb0579b180f377.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1700103451509.png" title="1700103451509.png" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<br>
In the Soulbound Forest, where time was a knotted tapestry of eternal dusk, a profound convergence was unfolding. Amelia, now imbued with a divine light, and Zolgen, their discord resolved, emerged from the labyrinth of the Aether Ruins. Their journey back to the great tree was marked by a subtle shift in the forest’s demeanor—a reluctant yielding to their newfound power and something more.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, Todd and The Morrigan, bound by an unspoken camaraderie, navigated the golden fields of the meadow, led by the orb’s ethereal glow within Todd.<br>
<br>
As these weary travelers converged at the heart of the forest with perhaps others, the colossal tree loomed before them, its massive trunk etched with glowing, arcane runes. The air was heavy with the scent of ancient sap and the whispers of countless souls entwined in the bark. Here, at the nexus of their fate, the characters felt the oppressive weight of infinite iterations—a cycle of entrapment and struggle within the forest’s embrace.<br>
<br>
The ritual that awaited them was steeped in the lore of the forest itself, a blend of magic and memory. The tree’s sap, a luminous, viscous liquid, held the key to their liberation. Each character, guided by an instinct, perhaps from the orbs or maybe from past iterations of themselves, approached the tree. Their hands, glowing with the light of their respective orbs, reached out to touch the mystical runes.<br>
<br>
As they made contact, the runes pulsed with light, resonating with the energy of their inner light. The characters began to chant, their voices weaving together in a harmonious cadence. The words were ancient, known to their souls but not their minds, a litany of release and renewal. The sap began to flow freely, encircling their feet, its glow intensifying with each verse of their chant.<br>
<br>
The tree responded, its branches swaying as if in a gentle breeze. The leaves rustled, releasing a cascade of luminescent spores that enveloped the group in a shimmering golden cloud. As the ritual reached its crescendo, the characters felt the bonds of the forest loosen, the cycle of entrapment breaking at last.<br>
<br>
But the forest’s release was selective, capricious. For some, the light of the spores coalesced into ethereal bridges, pathways leading out of the eternal twilight into the evening of the normal world. For others, the spores swirled in a dance of refusal, binding their souls even tighter to the forest’s heart.<br>
<br>
In this moment of truth, where destiny hung in balance, the Soul Wood shifted. The eternal twilight gave way to the deepening hues of evening, the sky painted with the colors of freedom and finality. Some characters felt the tug of the real world, their forms dissolving into light, carried away on the wings of liberation. Others stood, rooted in place, their fate entwined with the forest, guardians of its secrets and sentinels of its stories.<br>
<br>
The Soul Wood, now released from its ageless vigil, whispered a farewell to those it freed and a solemn welcome to those it kept. In the heart of the forest, the great tree stood silent, its runes dimming, a testament to the end of an epoch and the beginning of another. The forest settled into a peaceful hush, its twilight saga closed, its secrets held close in the embrace of those who remained.<br>
<br>
And so, the Soulbound Forest entered a new era, its eternal cycle broken, its captives freed and bound in equal measure. The characters who left carried with them memories of a timeless adventure, a journey through the heart of magic and mystery, while those who stayed became the keepers of the forest's enigmatic legacy until their time would come again.<br>

Good job to those of you that stuck with it to the end. Fairly promising start. Definitely had some interesting dynamics happening in a few scenes. This rp was fairly full of mysteries. Hopefully a solid starting point for some and springboard for others. Ultimately everyone would escape the wood eventually. Just unclear when.<br>
