Your fairy has a soul?

@Artifact

*Stands white, hunches over and plants my fist squarely on the ground*
She does.
*My fist clenches, and at that moment a very well controlled kinetic pulse ripples through the earth in its entirety, before ejecting itself into space opposite the body we stand on*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Who’s number four, though?

@Artifact

I should hope you would know.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Cranes my neck as my pupils constrict*
I have no idea who this guy is.

@Artifact

Seems like there’s bo interest in talking, but I assume that comment was about you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Stands in front of you in the next blink, and collides an open palm directly into your arms*

@System

*Recoils back, plants my foot firmly in the ground anew, and hammers my fist down over my head onto you from above*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Holds my finger forward when you turn, which blasts you backwards and digs deep trenches into the ground*

@System

*My feet remain dug into the dirt as I skid across it, coming to a stop moments later while shielding my face with my arm*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Speaks up from behind you*
It's currently occupied by four souls above capacity. Two I recognize, and two I do not.

@System

*Turns sideways to face you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

It was busier last time I was here.

@Artifact

What do you know about it? Anything?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Stops walking*
...
*Turns fully to face you*
I owe you. And once this is done, I can pay that debt.

@Artifact

*Stops as well for the moment and nods*
I said before that we share more in common than you’d imagine… But we’ll discuss it more later. We need to find someone suitable. I just don’t know what kind of society or culture exists here.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Glances toward you and meets your eyes*
If you’re going to kill me, save us the trouble and do it now. I don’t like playing games.

@Artifact

*Blinks*
I’m not doing all this just to target you afterward. I’m sharing my pain. The ones responsible for my curse have been found.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

...
*Kicks up a mound of moist soil*
Our village eventually rose up against the tyrant. Somehow they killed it. Feasted on the beast for days.
*Jabs a clawed thumb toward my chest*
And now I’m forced to carry it with me like a curse.

@Artifact

The best thing you can do with a curse, is make sure those responsible are shown justice, and then to hold it tightly. Never be the reason someone else feels as you do, or you’re no better than what you call dirt.
*Straightens my shoulders*
The “justice” part is what I hope to do when we leave here finally. To tell you where we’re going.
