Vanio: “Can you tell me about another one of my lives?”
Amanoth: “No.”
Vanio: “…Please?”
Amanoth: “You’ll fall asleep again.”
Vanio: “It was one time!”
Amanoth: “…”
Vanio: “I promise I’ll stay awake.”
Amanoth: “…Promise?”
Vanio: “Promise.”
Amanoth: “Alright, but if you fall asleep I swear…
ahem…
198 million years ago, not long after Vaylnn’s time, there was another incarnation. Zartrach. Zartrach spent his early existence fighting and stealing, akin to others of his kind, though he grew up especially sour. Forever called a “Freak” or “Beast”, he hated those calling him such, and he hated the world which cursed him so.
He wanted more.
So Zartrach ran from all civilization he knew and consulted his mind and all the thoughts within. He tried to learn why he was seen as a beast, and if he truly was one. His thoughts, ever so helpful, told of what he truly was: the incarnation of agod.And so, armed with this knowledge, Zartrach began his way back to cities and people, where he began informing them of what he was.
No one believed him, of course.
So he had to show them.
He’d show them all.
A great display of magical power for them all to bow down to, the world would kneel before him!
And with great casting of a spell he knew nothing of, all his people knew at once he was a god, and all his people at once, saw their end.
The very ground on which he stood, ruptured by his strength, and a great, cold, storm began to brew from the fallout of it all, as Zartrach felt his own might zapped away as well.
He couldn’t help but wonder what led him to believe that he was a god, when one burst of his divine might left him dead.
And so, merely 11 years after his existence, Zartrach came to an end, on a cold, miserable, lifeless planet which had once cursed him.”
...
Surprisingly, Vanio had actually stayed awake the whole time, fascinated by Amanoth’s story.
Vanio: “Can you tell me more about your lives?”
Amanoth: “…Maybe later.”
/uw Feel free to interact with Amanoth & Vanio, but Zartrach can't be interacted with
Vytsky was there, appearing weary and exhausted, and a little beat up and weak. gaseous void leaked from him, rising into the air until it faded away with the sunlight.
"Yeah, just.. exhausted... It's been a long past few weeks, maybe a couple months? I've been getting an unusually large increase in customers and their activity, and given I run the shop by myself, I'm bound to get worn out.. and, uh, beat up a bit as a result for being 'a poor shopkeep', heh.. I can't even heal myself anymore because my body's become too weak to properly hold void without issues.."
"Anyway, I came here for your help.... If you don't mind, of course.."
"Because I'm doing 'a bad job'.. You'd think they'd understand I'm exhausted, and most do, but people just have a temper.."
"I'm requesting that you take up part of the responsibilities of my shop while I'm rejuvenating.. I highly suggest you get a couple of other people to help; it's a rather challenging thing to do on your own."
"I estimate I'll be gone for about a week.. I'll pay you however you wish as compensation."
Alisa: i've been good...airalo seems to have calmed down but he's still inside his room that hate gave him...and he still has random...laughing fits...similar to me when in higher levels of violence...but other than that...making him a bit unsettling sometimes anyway...but besides that like i said we've been good.
Hate: she smiles but isn't manifested been enjoying the robe i made you?
