[@Rune_Alchemist] Dirka laughed madly. [color=#9400D3]"I believe in learning on the job, but I'll give you two hints; one, what neutralizes fire? Two, focus on the most precious person in your life. If magicians know one sane thing, is that you [i][b]NEVER[/b][/i] forget your [u]true[/u] family. [sub]Even if they forget you...[/sub]"[/color] She started sipping her drink sadly, but the puppet simply got more into the fight. Almost as if it was [i]angry[/i]. The fires got hotter, and more frequent. An echo was heard, and another magician entered the mind-scape. "Mad Mistress! He's regained his memories! he has yet to wake, but his mind and soul are repaired! Oh, happy days!" Dirka lept out of the chair like a leopard. [color=#9400D3][b][i]"TEACH THE NEW MEAT, NOW!!"[/i][/b][/color] And she disappeared. [hr] Dirka woke in her body, and saw Iva leaving the room. She quickly grabbed him, turned him and kissed his forehead. [color=#9400D3]"Sorry, brother! Things are afoot! But don't be a bother, and don't worry about your toot! Another conductor conducts that song, for I can not tarry along! Bye, cerio, NESKAV! MY MATE LIVES!!!! BWAHAHAHAHH!"[/color] She yelled cheerily, before falling off the nearest balcony, only to go through a portal ti the Rift. May Time have mercy on them all. [hr] [@Lmpkio] Terzotz laughed manically, launching himself into the air. He said an incantation, in the language of magic, and he breathed his destructive breath, but instead of blunt energy, it was acid. It sprayed in a cone, headed towards the Rat, and all around it to keep it localized. [color=#808080]"Survive that, you pest!"[/color] [hr] Blackness. Ink? Shadow? Night? No, this was something he saw regularly when he dreamed. Fractured. Empty. Void. All he remembered was his name, his home, and his goddess. But, wait...The black fissures were being repaired! What caused this? His...wife? Wait...what memory was this? He knew no beautiful woman such as this! Yet, she seemed...familiar. She was goddess...his goddess. But...then...how? His mind warped and fractured, but then those fractures were sealed like a large quantum puzzle. Memories came flooding back. Knowledge glowed like a river of a past life. Power the likes he could only dream of returned. He was no common village priest! She must have done so to protect him. He was in his mind, locked in it till the blackness completely faded, and he remembered who he was. He was not Deruga, the common magician of a small village. He was [color=2e3192]Deruga, the Arch-Magus of the Teeth of madness![/color] [hr] When he opened his eyes, Deruga was met with a godly and beautiful sight next to him.

I've been planning to do this for a bit. 3. I don't care if it's sappy or stupid, or even cleche. [/hider]
