[center][h1][color=00aeef]Chres Sansus[/color] & [color=a187be]Sightless Syella[/color][/h1][/center] Interaction with [@Jerkchicken], [@Fetzen], [@13Org], [@HokumPocus], [@elevation] [hr] The illusion of Octavio die before Chres in a gruesome death. The nausea overtook him then causing him to empty his stomach yet again. [color=00aeef]"That damn man..."[/color] Chres muttered weakly. [color=a187be]"Wha... what are you doing?"[/color] Chres turned his attention away from his sickness. DB had returned to them. The candle in his hands. [color=a187be]"NO!"[/color] Syella screamed, launching sharpened fingers in his direction. DB crushed the crystal in hands using what could only be some kind of enhanced strength. A blinding light shot from the crushed crystal, enveloping them all. Chres shut his eyes to the light, unable to take it's brightness. The light broke through the blinders which were his eyelids, forcing Chres to cover his eyes with his hands. Even then, he could see the light. The light enveloped all. It covered him. It blanketed him. And... it entered him. The itch on his neck faded to its touch, stunning Chres and leaving a strange longing and an outside desire to run from the light. The nausea and pounding in his head intensified. It was too much! It was overwhelming! It was... Chres heard a loud yawn to his right. It was accompanied by a familiar voice. [color=a2d39c]"Why hello Mr. Sun! You're awfully close to the ground today!"[/color] Slowly the brightness of the light began to fade. He could barely make out the shape of something fluttering beside him. He had come to know that form well over the past year. His companion. His familiar. [hr] Nothingness enveloped the man and Sightless Syella. No, not nothingness. Light. The light covered her. It entered her. She felt it reach towards the bond she had with the Insight, and then... then it attacked. Sightless Syella screamed in agony as she felt her connection to the Insight being severed. [color=a187be]"What have you done? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"[/color] She screamed Sightless Syella ran blindly in the direction that the dirtied man last stood. [color=a187be]"I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL-"[/color] Sightless Syella's foot landed on nothing. She had reached the end of roof. Syella felt herself fall. Landing in a loud thud accompanied by several small cracks in her body. Syella ignored the shock and tingly feelings that came with her wounds. The dirt beneath her beat a familiar rhythm. The rhythm she had come to associate with the Insight. It called to her and she to it. Syella dug her fingers into the ground, crying a black ooze as she did so. [color=a187be]"Give it back... give it back... I need it..."[/color] Syella muttered as she dug and dug with her hands. [color=a187be]"Give it back! GIVE IT BACK TO ME!"[/color] Syella shot her fingers into the dirt. Reaching... reaching for the Insight. She found it. Grabbed it. It entered her comforted her. That which touched the ground revealed to her. Everything else, invisible to the Insight. The Insight tugged on her. It calling for her to retreat. She listened and obeyed. Running half blind. Her fingers dragging through the dirt behind. She needed to get away. Away from this light. [hr] The brightness of the light faded gradually. Chres was now able to make out the world around him. [color=a2d39c]"Oh, Hello Chres! When did you and your big old nose get here?"[/color] Just then Sightless Syella ran by them screaming [color=a187be]"What have you done? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"[/color] [color=a2d39c]"Right?"[/color] Sil said waving a hand behind her in Syella's direction. [color=a2d39c]"What ever did you do to make your nose so big?"[/color] She said as Syella continued to scream, [color=a187be]"I'LL KILL YOU!"[/color]. [color=a2d39c]"Weeeeeell... I wouldn't go that far."[/color] Sil said absently as Syella ran off the roof. [color=a2d39c]"Oh! Guess what, Chres? Can you believe it? Mr. Sun came down to visit! And here you said I would never get the chance to meet him. Ha! Look at me! A super smart thingamajig! Chres - 0, Sil - 1?... 5?... 2?... hmmmmm..."[/color] [color=00aeef]"Sil-"[/color] Chres began. He was starting to wish she had never woken up. [color=a2d39c]"Shh shh shh shh shhhhh! I'm trying to remember how to count. For some reason, it feels like I haven't done it in months!"[/color] [color=00aeef]"Oh... my poor head..."[/color] Chres sighed. As Sil struggled to remember how to count, Chres forced himself to a sitting position. And began to focus on his surroundings. The air had a shimmery quality to it. As if the light unleashed from the crystal was lingering in the air. Everything seemed brighter now. As if they weren't still in the Distortion. In fact, now that he noticed it, his shadow was pointing away from the distortion's green sun instead of towards it. Chres shook his head. Did the light somehow cut through the Distortion? The sun was still green. The Distortion was clearly still here, and yet it's effects on their shadows and the brightness of the sunlight appeared to have been nullified in the nearby vicinity. "It's gone!" Chres heard one of the two remaining cult members say. He was clutching his head. It was the one who had tried to get the candle. "I need it! I need it!" The other cult member was struggling to get to his feet. [i][color=00aeef]Interesting...[/color][/i] Chres thought, storing the information away for later. At the moment, the healer passed by. Dashing towards the innkeeper's wife, tending to her wounds. Chres slowly struggled to his feet. [color=00aeef]"We need to go."[/color] He said in a weakly voice. [color=00aeef]"We... we need to get out of here... Can't stay..."[/color] Chres managed to limp his way a few feet before collapsing again.
