Re: [Aex's students] Wish upon a star
OoC:
This is the THIRD time I'm posting this. >>
BiC:
Why are you so useless?
"Why are you still in my head?" Vane mumbled.
You've only been walking for three hours and you're giving up hope.
"I never said that. I simply want to rest."
You've been around the Dome before! You know that if a door calls to you, then you must go.
"I entered the door, and now I'm lost."
That's your own fault.
"Tch...why do I even bother?"
It is because you cannot be without me. The way out is obvious.
"Damn you...just leave me alone!" Vane screamed. The voice went silent.
The Savior had been making frequent visits to the Dome for a while now, and he knew how unpredictable and dangerous it could be. Just earlier he had been traversing the corridors, when a certain door appeared to be shining brilliantly. The Silronian, as usual, made his way to the door and walked in to see what the structure wanted with him. This time he found himself on a seemingly endless grassy plain.
Underneath the grass was a layer of shiny slime that resembled mud in color and texture. Vane could see the sky reflecting off of the ground, and the ground reflecting off of the sky. It was a bizarre sight that made it seem as though there were several planes of reality contained in that one spacious field. The door in which he had entered had disappeared on the horizon a while ago, and there was nothing but flat land in sight.
Vane wandered on, surprised that his conscience had ceased to harass him. It was rare that he got a moment to himself anymore, the way that his head had become since he had encountered Sesein in the crumbling Celestial Spire. The voice never bothered him in the Dome, but the ward only worked when he walked the corridors.
The Savior began to increase his speed, but stopped abruptly.
“He said that the way out is obvious…then that must mean that wandering around won’t help me.”
The Silronian looked up and down; he could hardly tell the difference between the sky and the ground anymore. It seemed as though the muddy substance beneath the grass was beginning to change its color to match the sky. Suddenly, the solution popped into his head.
Concentrating his solspherous to his feet, the Savior began to slowly lift himself into the air. Increasing the amount solspherous being projected behind him, Vane blasted himself upwards into the empyrean. As he thought, he slammed into a solid surface upon coming into contact with a cloud. As bizarre as it was, Vane was caught between two giant mirrors.
“So…the bottom mirror below the grass was covered in a thin layer of mud to keep me from realizing what it was. The sky mirror reflected the ground because it was just reflecting off of another mirror,” Vane concluded. “So what’s the puzzle here?”
That is also obvious.
Ignoring the voice in his head, Vane proceeded to survey the area, looking for any signs of a difference in one of the two reflections. He had encountered this type of magic before, and it was only a matter of time before he spotted the defect. In the sky reflection, about thirty yards to the south, there was a crimson warp hole about the size of an apple. The Savior pushed more solspherous out through the soles of his feet and darted towards the rift. Coming to an abrupt halt several inches away from it, he extended his arm and touched the crux of it with the tip of his index finger.
