<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Artorias: *takes a beastlike stance, one of predation, as I low growl at you, eyes fixated on you like a tiger to its prey. It dashes toward you, clawing at your arms and chest multiple times with dimension slicing attacks*


*Every hit in this world is met with the oppressive resistance of the atmosphere, and all forces are distributed like countless layers of thick cushion between us as attacks dissipate further into the thread of reality than they impact their target*
The rules are simple. Each of us names one object, concept, or property the opponent values. The opponent then loses access to that subject until the end of the game. Then the other player must name something else the opponent values less than the previously named object. The game ends when the opponent can no longer construct a counterexample, and the loser will be ejected into reality stripped of all subjects named by both players during the game.

*Rolls into the room from a corridor on a walkway several floors above, and just after I do, the sound of hydraulics from doors all around the silo can be heard sealing shut*

*the top of my helmet is severed clean by your attempt,reforming shortly after, as I grumble in your direction, my veiled face emitting a darkness unlike anything you've seen, like a bottomless hole*


*Flies backward after the restoration starts, creating space and taking in what's happening*

*Suddenly, a pair of wide beams of energy vertically manifest in the center of the room, one black and one white, stretching from the floor below to the ceiling at the top of the silo*
I think you're right.
*Scans the floor around us with a quick turn of my head*

Aren't these the kill-you energies?? Why are they here?

*Looks up at the energies, watching as the projectors for them start to slowly spin around a central focal point in the room. I turn and beat on the door that closed behind me*
Turn it off!

Chance happenstance while we were enjoying a cold winter day. I could tell he wasn't an ordinary tourist.


- I don't think he does anything without good reason. He probably knew you were out and about and you could do this sorta work.

*The walk to the spaceport isn't particularly long, and it's rather easy to tell where it is, as a slim, arrowhead-shaped aircraft glides overhead with a dull roar from its direction. It pitches up and glides away with a rising trill as its engines throttle up before finally punching through the endless clouds with a distant sonic boom.*

- C'mon. We got a flight to catch. None of you have issues with high G-forces on ascent, do you?

G-force is something we're both more than ready to handle. It should be fine.

- These suborbital jets hit you pretty hard on ascent. Just... be aware of that.

*It's not hard to get into the terminal, and after a few letters stuffed with bills handed to the security personnel, they're through the baggage checks and screenings.*

- How's first class sound? Lucy's loaded, you know.

*The world he lands in is quiet, dark. A city glows in the far distance behind a forest of dead trees. The ground is blasted and gray, and there's a peculiar iron taste in the air. A slow, dark, burbling river runs towards the city, ash-filled and sludgy. This land is poisoned, that much is clear to see.*

HALCIUS: Siste! Amica? (Halt! Friendly?)

*The men stalking through the trees towards Marius are clad in suits of red and silver armor resembling that worn by Marius' comrades, but more covering, sheathing them from head to toe in polished steel. Each man carries a rifle and a shortsword, their faces hidden behind stoic metal masks.*

HALCIUS (in Varroi): You don't look like a true legionary, but you surely aren't one of the barbaroi here. Who are you?

*I hold my hand up, fist on my chest. A clear Roman Salute. My voice carries the authority of drilled formations and battlefield command.

Marius: Amicus sum. Centurio Marius Titus, Legio XIV Gemina. (I'm friendly, I'm Centurion Marius Titus, 14th Legion of Rome, Gemina.)

*Eyes the men* If there's a Rome still here, then I stand ready to serve it. Under what standard do you march?

*I don't return the salute, eyeing Marius warily.*

- Legio XIV is Avaerii, not... Gemina, and we are of Legio CLV, Alchemist's Cohort. And... Rome? Whoever heard of a city called Rome?

*I raise a hand, and a dozen rifles train themselves on Marius.*

- I don't believe you are a Varroi, Marius Titus. I believe you are a spy, sent by the Laughing God to confound us. And spies die, Marius Titus.

*The process of boarding isn't too far from getting on an airline; unfortunately, there isn't enough time to visit the stores, though, given the prices of everything here, maybe that's for the best. Soon, the three have found their seats aboard Union Airlines Flight 101. The seats all face front and are incredibly cushy; they cradle the body at all points, presumably to shield against the acceleration. A robotic flight attendant moves slowly down the aisle, looking down at the three.*

ANDROID: Please fasten your harness and stow all carry-on luggage in the overhead bins. Thank you!

NAOMI: Bougie, ain't it? This is executive flight. Only the finest in mimosas and synth-steaks, and we'll be in Hong Kong in two hours.

"Ex altera rerum condicione sum, imperator. * ( I am from a alternative city much like yours.) You and your soldiers wear very familiar armor like the soldiers under my command. You even know the terms Legionary and barbaroi*

He doesn't flinch at rifles held to him.

“You say Legio CLV. One hundred and fifty-five?” A faint exhale through the nose. “Then your Empire stands larger than mine ever did."

Impressive, your Legion lasted all the way up to one hundred and fifty-five.*

*I consider this for a moment. Then, I clench my fist, and the rifles lower.*

- Perhaps you are correct, so I will spare you. Until you have proven your loyalties, however... you will remain in our sight.

*I reach for my mask and unlock it with a hiss of air. Pulling it up, I reveal my face, a young, but stoic-looking man with golden hair that falls in curling waves over my face. I pull back my hood and salute.*

- Pilus Gaius Halcius Aureva, at your service. Indeed, our empire is great; we number nine billion souls across thirty settled worlds in the Vale of Man, in the service of Aven and Emperor alike.

*I cock my head and rest my cheek in my palm.*

- Tell me, Centurion Titus. What is this "Rome" to you?
