Who's going to come, I wonder?

Also, tomorrow is my last ever day of school. I feel scared.

Ignoring the pain, Dragnar continues staring at the blade.

"Interesting, the pain of Xarn contained within a sword... Now what can her brother do... Ah well, only time will tell."

Dragnar returns to the library muttering to himself, still without even noticing Coradin.

Did he take the sword with him?

No, I assumed I released it after the pain began.

[Caesar]

Alright. Note that the pain fades almost (not exactly) the same moment that you release it.

[Digital Hellhound]

Oops, sorry Karne, I didn't realize we ruined your fun by moving the Stone >_>

[Karnewarrior]

I hate you all. Have a nice day.

Shut up you.


It's no problem. Paradox, yes, problem, no. I was on Natus, not on my way to Natus. That little bit of miswording would have made the game confusing for any reader, so... Phantasm! Let's just hope it doesn't want to play. Goddamn Phantoms...

[Canalan]

Now I have a choice to make.
Should I go to Frandor's meeting, or should I continue doing whatever.  Seeing as Astra'ath just told everyone where he lives, I'm screwed either way. I have this horrible feeling that whatever happens next I will not come out on top.
And cool, now I have cavern beasts.

Crap, still have to decide how to spend my last act.

[Lordinquisitor]

Meteorites+ Charas beam+ Astra`aths hideout..

[Canalan]

Do you feel lucky punk?
Well, do ya?

Maybe I will go to the meeting...

[dragnar]

I'm actually hoping a fight breaks out soon. My character is starting to get ticked at all these attempts to sway him from neutrality and would be more than happy to end the discussion if it comes to violence.

[Lokii]

Ah wait what? Ed, were you talking to me or someone else?

[forsaken1111]

I like how nobody gets it yet.

Just by being what It is, Astra'ath causes entropy. Look at what's going on, the chaos and confusion. Compare to the turns before Astra'ath came through into the universe.

Its fun.

[Lokii]

HAAAA. I see what you did thar. Y'know.By existing.
Only after you explained it, though.

[forsaken1111]

Oops, sorry Karne, I didn't realize we ruined your fun by moving the Stone >_>

Yeah sorry, the last thing I remember reading you'd begun slowly heading TO natus.

[Karnewarrior]

Oops, sorry Karne, I didn't realize we ruined your fun by moving the Stone >_>

Yeah sorry, the last thing I remember reading you'd begun slowly heading TO natus.

When he came, he was not subtle. Of course, it was also not a he.
Mania came to Natus in a stone, a brown, dull stone inset with a glittering gem. As it crashed down upon Natus, it was blue.
When I found it, it was red.
I was out hunting with my brother, Azkael. Our family names are not important. What is important is the scene in front of the stone...

"Brother, look. I have found a crater! What sort of god would leave such a landmark?" the man who spoke was tall, with dark black hair cropped short. His skin was an ebon brown, his eyes had two colors in them. The girls of his tribe found him devilishly handsome.
His brother was not so. While he shared the same color scheme as his brother, his nose was long and protruding, his eyes sunk into his head as if pressed by a giants hands. His arms were large and bulky, with the rough hands of a blacksmith swinging a spear like a childrens toy.
He spoke:"Saul, do not touch it! It is bad luck to meddle in the games of gods!"
"Pah!" Responded the brother, waving off Azkaels worries like gnats, "This is no Godstone! This is merely a chance! A lucky emblem from Natus himself!"
"I fear it all the same..."
"Fear not! I will show you, and when you stop cowering like a small girl, mayhaps I will let you share my glory!" Saul said with a wide grin.
Saul picked his way through the underbrush, which was still cooling from the recent strike. Azkael made his way nervously behind, a frightened look on his face. When he and Saul reached the stone, he was shaking from fear.
"Brother..." Began Azkael, but Saul silenced him with an outstretched hand. Silently, the ebon-skinned man reached down and plucked the stone from the ground. It was strangely cool.
Saul stood up, and then his ears pricked up. He tilted his head, as if listening.

Spoiler: In the head of Saul (click to show/hide)

Listen! Do you not hear that? That is the sound of your brother, preparing to stab you in the back and take me! Look! Can you not see? That is your brother, looking to end your life and take your glory! Can you not taste that? That is the taste of death, a taste your so called brother relishes! Sniff! Can you not smell that? That is the smell of bodies burning, which your brother surely wishes upon his family! Think! Can you not realize? He is a madman! He must be brought down! Turn now, and rid your world of his madness!

Quick as a flash, Saul drew out his spear and drove the point into his brothers unprotected chest. There was a pause, and Azkael looked down as if surprised to see his brothers hand holding the spear, and then slumped. Saul put a boot on the corpses chest, and pulled his spear out with a squeltch. He shook off the bit of gore that clung to it, and then tilted his head again. Nodding, he trodded back towards the camp. If you listened carfully, a cackle, the laughter of a psycopath, could be heard faintly from the stone, as if a small, violent man was trapped within.

[forsaken1111]

Yeah, I missed that post. Sorry again... want us to rewrite some of it?
