[h2][center]Xsar[/center][/h2] Xsar sat on a stair case that ran between the walls of a corner going nowhere. he sat on the top step, defying gravity, pondering the news he had just heard. He had a feeling that it was true, but then again it might be another hallucination, but then again it might actually be a message, but then again... "oh this is just too confusing" he said out loud mostly to himself, "but- No!" He stood and walked left, or what would be down the stairs from his perspective. He reached the wall and stood there several feet off the ground as if trying to remember how to navigate his own house, which is exactly what was happening. As if struck by a blow he seemed to remember that he was using the wrong directions, to which he fell the several feet to the actual ground. "right then" he said as he stood, and marched off towards the library to see his daughter. Before long, taking several staircases that ignore rules like, gemometry, or phsyics, or sanity for that matter Xsar reached the Library and greeted his daughter Quelana who sat behind a large desk with a servant girl reading a thick dusty tome to her. Xsar heard something about the mating preferences of salmon... He shrugged, "My dear Quelana" "Father!" she said brightly but weakly, she beamed in his general direction unable to be entirely sure of the direction as she was blind. "Nora was just reading to me about fish, they are so interesting" Xsar paused, he couldn't remotely think of what he wanted to know about fish, "Where is your brother?" "He is in the lower levels guarding the rift, as always." she replies, still beaming. Xsar nods, and produces the small amber sphere to teleport himself down to the rift. -[b][i][i]Womp[/i][/i][/b]- Xsar disappears leaving a pair of footprints in a mild dusting of powdered sugar on the floor of the library... He still wasn't sure why that happened. Sugar wasnt a reagent for a teleportation spell was it? -[b][i][i]Womp[/i][/i][/b]- Xsar appears directly in front of the Gate Keeper, who's boots are now also dusted with sugar. "Son, we must-" "None Shall Pass" he says flatly "Yes, very good. but we must go to the service for your grandfather" Xsar says The Gate Keeper says nothing, which was normal. The extent of his madness was rather crippling, believing that saying anything except when he had to would mean he would run out of words. Which, after a brief explanation made perfect sense to Xsar. He reached out and touched his son on the shoulder and teleported again. -[b][i][i]Womp[/i][/i][/b]- the pair appeared at the foot of the tomb, several feet away. Xsar held up his arm in greeting, while trying to make something interesting happen and make his enterence spectacular. He was aiming to conjure a small flock of doves, or ravens or something to fly away from him in a very picturesque way. Unfortunately he thought of the Salmon that his daughter was reading about in that moment, making his conjuration cause several dozen fish to appear around him and fall to the floor to flop around. 'close enough' he thought "Greetings Family!" he shouted while standing in a circle of flopping fish before making his way to his throne. His throne, made of the lowest quality wood and iron was little more than any other chair at a table of a poor family, the only difference is that the wood shifts its color randomly like paint being endlessly poured over it. On his way to the throne he stops to greet Janin, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
