Fractured

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*looks downward silently as I am being passed through the darkness*

@Spiritblitz

*Words of varying shapes and sizes spiral around you in the deep, some too out of focus to make out, others in strange mutations of shapes, only a few short versions of which can be made out to real words*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*takes a step in*

@Spiritblitz

*The ink rushes up to embrace you, and as you sink into its depths, it becomes difficult to move quickly through its thickness, like running in a dream, and breathing feels like inhaling through a wet towel*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*walks towards the trap door and kicks it in*

@Spiritblitz

*It swings open into a darker pit, thick like ink*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*takes a mental note of the cup and steps in further*

@Spiritblitz

*Beyond the skull is a staircase framed by a false heart arch to ascend upward into the cityscape, and a visible trapdoor in the skull leads deeper into the mindscape*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*glances at the event and stops to look around within the base*

@Spiritblitz

Inside the skull is a courtyard of a small castle, furnished and decorated, with still-warm hot chocolate on the table by a couch*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*tries not to stare at the bodies as I pass them*

@Spiritblitz

*In the distance, a skull peeks up over the horizon*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*stares for a moment then turns around looking at the bodies and walks towards*

@Spiritblitz

*As you walk, more traps pile up with the dead*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*sighs*
Can you give me hints or advice to survive?

@Spiritblitz

Go and reach big death.
*Turns around and waves as I run away*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I can help you. There is another me that will protect you. She is stronger and will come out when needed.

@Spiritblitz

*Shakes my head*
When I go, it will all be done. Just you can go this way.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*reaches out my hand*

@Spiritblitz

*Hesitantly reaches out, but retracts my hand*
Can't. I'm all that's left.
