Fancy way of saying that I don't have super fancy means of being stealthy, no.

@Valiance

Alright, we'll have to do this the hard way, then.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I have this nifty technique where I don't make any noise.

@Valiance

*Scowls*
This better not be a joke.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I'm not chasing down a fight either, don't worry.

@Valiance

Do you have anything stealthy you can use, then?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Probably not impossible. Something tells me they have a reason to be extra alert these days, though.

@Valiance

I still want to avoid fighting it completely if we can manage that. There used to be two, and then I found out those can't be eaten.

*Analytically takes in everything within my view, standing silently*

@Valiance

They still haven’t fixed the entrance... Look, if we get past that beast, we’re home free. It can’t follow us in. One of them always has to guard the gate.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Mm.
*Reaches out and grabs the circle*

@Valiance

*You disappear in a golden glow, while I roll up the map and grab the circle before it fades*
Easy enough.
*On the other side sits rolling hills full of light with a vibrant city in the distance—immediately ahead is a cracked gate with one towering, red and white entity that appears to be made of irregular chunks connected by bands, standing on the right side*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Smirks slightly, out of your line of sight*

@Valiance

*The glowing manifests into a golden circle hovering parallel above the map*
Hold onto the light, and it will bring you there.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Let’s see what we can do then.

@Valiance

Great, then let's g—
*Coughs*
Perfect, we can depart immediately.
*Holds my finger over the location as it starts to glow*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Pretty strong if it can single handedly take out something like this cosmic dragon!

@Magnanimity

If it could do that alone, we wouldn't be in this mess and I wouldn't be... asking you... for help.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

The only one? That’s a lot of confidence.

@Valiance

I didn’t think you’d help me pick up any others. But it doesn’t matter—the dragon angel was easily my strongest.
