*Frowns*
You think I’m tricking you?

@Heroic

I don’t know what you’re doing. But Roland might, and he’s earned whatever trust he has.

*Lifts you by your collar*
Well? Is she right?

@Valiance

He asked me to convince you to stop. Said you wouldn’t listen to him. But I don’t trust him to tell me the truth.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

He feels guilty. And he should.
*Lifts him up and spikes him into the ground, then punts him through the air when he bounces*

@Valiance

Are you sure it's not some kind of trap? You really think it's as easy as wiping your hands here while he feels guilty? Something doesn't add up.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Home. I told her not to come for this.
*Thrusts forward, clutching Ridge's head and dragging it through the rocky ground*

@Valiance

For someone who could make all of this, why isn't he fighting back? Something seems wrong.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Turns to face you, but not wholly*

@Valiance

Where's Chickpea? Is she okay?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Looks up*
If our one-on-one is through, sure. I won’t stop a reunion.
*A light shines from the sky, and the fog is suddenly blasted rapidly away by a strong wind, forcing it to clear out and revealing the rocky, barren landscape of the world, the unfiltered sky of space, and our current clash not far off, where I am dodging and blocking innumerable rapid blows that ripple spacetime*

@Heroic

*Runs toward the dumbfounding display as quickly as I can without my transformations*
Roland!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

The only people on this whole world are the three of us. He’s alone, yes.

@Heroic

*Appears briefly confused before making up my mind and dashing toward the mist*
I'm going to find him!

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Neither will I. “This is it” as in, for me. I thought only myself and Rythian… Ruari survived Misneachd. If there is someone still alive who suffers because of that day and cannot forgive me, I won’t rob them of their vengeance. Killing me still kills Maelstrom. Probably.

@Heroic

*Tightens my jaw*
How many people are you fighting right now? Is Roland alone?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Getting away with it isn’t what I want. Roland is my brother, even if he despises me now. I won’t run from him, and I won’t fight him. Either he hears what I have to say, or this is it.

@Heroic

*Resumes my defensive stance*
No, I won't let you kill him.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Drops my arms and breathes heavily*
His attacks ring true when they land no matter what.
*Gathers myself and faces you*
He told you what I would likely be capable of, I’m sure. If I was really adamant about getting away with this, I could easily run away.

@Heroic

Then why wouldn't you? Why are you still here?
