[color=8493ca]“This place Asaran is the Nexus of Worlds. This place is everywhere and nowhere at once. Future and the past, every tangent of existence are found through the various entrances and egresses found within these walls. Does that answer your question?”[/color] The skeletal being responded and as the words reached him, Raelis nodded. [color=#fff79a][B]"That will suffice for now,"[/B][/color] he stated simply before glancing about at the newcomer and those who had already arrived. His fiercely glowing orbs and exceptional visual capabilities allowed him to pick up a great many details. However, the most offensive of these details were those that appeared as a crass human arrived. [i]'No...not human,'[/i] he corrected internally as he took in the scents of those present, [i]'Something far less pleasant.'[/i] With this in mind he made his way towards the edge of the hall, at which point he sheathed his blade in its place, and gazed out at the scenery. It was strange really, seeing such a large variety in one place. Then again, given where he was it was perhaps not so bizarre. Taking in a deep breath and composing himself, the Asaran let all the annoyance and unnecessary aggression leave his system. He would need to be focused if these fighters had all been called under the same premise as he had. [i]'Worthy combatants, all chosen by this...Skallagrim,'[/i] he puzzled internally, thinking the skeletal figure some form of transcendent figure despite its unorthodox appearance. Then, as he finished refocusing himself, Skallagrim spoke once more. [color=8493ca]“When ready merely think of battle and you shall appear at your field. Good Luck.”[/color] At this, the Asaran turned towards the other participants, giving each a once over, before he closed his eyes, thought of battle, and then promptly vanished. This would surely be a challenge.
