[Praefectus Screptum]

And so time went on, with the cave proving to be a lot larger than it seemed to be from the outside, but from distance it was possible to see land-An odd shaped island, considering that even in the darkness it was possible to see very twisted and odd shapes covering it. While Even was still trying to calculate the estimated time for them to reach their destiny, Vandertz turned his attention to the group both to check how they were feeling and to ask a question some of the new adventurers didn't get to answer before.
"So, I think we are almost there, right? Might be a good time to ask this again, in case someone else decided to change their wish during the time we spent wandering around and fighting the undead; what are you going to wish for?"

[Solymr]

Seraphim thought for a moment.

: I think I got my wish already, smashing Eversor's skull. Anything else would have to be something more abstract, like freeing other dullahans, but I don't know if that's possible at all. I guess I'll ask for some really neat armor polish if I can't think of anything else worthwhile.

[SeriousConcentrate]

"I dunno what I'd wish for now. I wanted respect but it kinda feels like if I wish for it, I didn't earn it."

Kat leaned onto the railing of the ship and rested her chin on her palm.

"Money would be nice but I think I'd get bored with a lavish lifestyle. Maybe I just won't wish for anything."

"Technically you also got that wish of yours attended, I mean...apparently the seal holding them back in Oblivion is breaking, so they might show up back here sooner or later...which is kinda why I might be changing my wish too."
"Things will get pretty agitated once they return, so I think wishing for something like the power of teleporting might come in handy. Considering we are the few who are aware of what is going on, we need to be the first to talk to them to prevent a possible war."

[Solymr]

: Maybe I should ask for... Oblivion to be permanently sealed off after everyone in there is out. To prevent this from happening again.

[Praefectus Screptum]

"Not a bad idea, but I do wonder if Oblivion doesn't have other residents. I worry this wasn't the first time people had this 'bright' idea of using it as a prison of some sort, so if that realm isn't limited to our continent that wish could be dangerous."

[Solymr]

: See? It's all too complex, I can't figure out every possibility a wish like that would entail... A neverending bucket of armor polish it is then.

[Chevaleresse]

"To be honest, I didn't have any particular desire for a wish from this place. Though, speaking of Oblivion gives me an idea." Ociel rubs his chin thoughtfully. "A way to heal wounds to the mind as well as the body would be helpful. At bare minimum, a way to cleanse whatever influence that place had would probably be useful in the coming days."

[Praefectus Screptum]

"If there are literally no limits to our wishes, I think that could be useful, if we can somehow cure those who apparently were already corrupted by that place. The more we can save, the better."

[USEC_OFFICER]

"I feel like you're counting your chickens before they hatch here. If you could wish all of your problems away why did they bother locking it up?"

"Let's figure out what this stuff actually is before we decide what we want to do with it. Otherwise we're just going to be disappointed here."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"I think Kaarina's right. Let's not get ahead of ourselves."

[USEC_OFFICER]

"Being cynical isn't always a bad thing."

[Praefectus Screptum]

"That's fair. I was pondering about limits because usually there is a catch to that-especially if we are talking about a genie. If they are anything like the genies from books this won't be a fun deal."
"...Or those odd artifacts that take your wish and twist it in some way. Hooo boy, now I am worried."

[Caellath]

"Even's wishes haven't been twisted so far but that's a worry isn't it? I've no idea what I'd ask by now but eh. Maybe it'll reach me. Maybe just cash or something."

CHAPTER 12: Sweet Nightmares

Hours passed by, without any signs of life or land nearby-At least until Even utilizing a telescope connected to the mast of the ship spotted something different in that glowing purple sea.
"Land in sight! We are getting there, you weirdos!"
Even's eagerness died down the closer they were to this 'land', as it turned out to be something from another world; not only the beach had spinning pillars coming out from the sand but the weather was completely chaotic. One side had side, but the other already had snow, and right by its side a swamp, and considering how the island's size seemed to be changing from time to time it was unclear if there was much to be explored aside from the large temple standing in front of them. A very twisted temple as well, considering the stone bricks holding the place together were twitching as if it was stuck in time moments before it was going to crumble down.
With the ship hitting land, it was time go move down and explore this vast bizarre territory, with Even being the first to carefully step down only to give a slow nod and crossing his arms.
"Yep, this place looks like shit."
