It felt like hours in there. The peacefulness was interrupted by a weak and raspy voice. It wasn't like the usual flamboyant and firm voice that the owner usually had.
".... Wh.... Where am I?"
Lake had woken up.
English
-
[i] Ro looks over, and smiles a little.[/i] R : " Nice of you to join us" [i] she says gently[/i]
-
" What happened...?"
-
[i] Her eyes drop[/i] R:" Aries and Hunger"
-
" Oh.... Hunger.... That guy was a pain in the neck...."
-
R " Hey !you told me no jokes, Switch took care of pretty much everything else, but he's been banished. James and Lakir think your dead. Half the city got demolished. I think that's everything.....except.... Aries got away. I'm sorry Lake." [i]Her gaze falls to the floor again.[/i]
-
Lake only looked at her, not with scorn or contempt, but a look of empathy. " Don't blame yourself for anything. You did everything that was in your power to do. As for Aries, we'll get his ass later." Even as he said that however, something in the back of his mind reminded him of something extremely dark, but he didn't pay it any attention. "... So... Where are we?"
-
[i]She blinks, looking slightly embarassed.[/i] R " Er I'm not sure, I didn't bring us via conventional means."
-
" Well today was quite unconventional..." Lake looked around, gingerly, as his neck still hurt. ".... So is there anyway back?"
-
R" oh I see, sorry of course this must be very odd, we are still where your body was taken for Switch to treat you. I don't know exactly where that is. Everyone started fighting around you , I guess I got a bit upset and moved us out of that dimension. I didn't want to take you anywhere because I wasn't sure how that would effect Switch, It shouldn't have made any difference ,he should still be able to reach you here but something repelled him. But in answer to your question I can take us back whenever your ready. I must warn you though how you feel here is a 100 times better to how you will feel when I take you back. I would advise you sleep a bit longer if you can. Time doesn't mean anything here, when we go back it will only have been minutes since I took you." [i] She looks over to him, and even here he look withdrawn pale and weak, and the dark in her see's Lakes own shadow starting to take form. Her shadow speaks to her, claims it can consume his darkness leaving him light again. She ignores it, but it hisses at her in frustration. It's hungry and it wants fed. This thing would just eat and eat but give nothing back . It wasn't made to harness power just to consume it.[/i] [i] she smiles gently at Lake.[/i] R:" Just tell me when your ready, and I will take you back, although I can take you anywhere you want to go. If u wanted to see James and Lakir to let them know we could "
-
" No I think I'd be better off if we went to Switch. I can tell James and Lakir later. Right now, I need to get ready to find Aries again." Even as he sat there, he could feel a subtle Darkness course through him, calling out to him, trying to become him. Again, he ignored it. " You never told me you could pull people out of dimensions. That's a pretty handy power if you ask me."
-
[i] She looks at him, feeling pretty useless,but attempts to take the compliment graciously.[/i] R: " I had to re learn a lot of things after I left you , my memories returned but I had a lot of holes that needed repaired. Something dark bound itself to me whilst travelling through a vex gate a while back. I can hide my light and that of anyone travelling with me. I can become insubstantial,so I can't be hurt, but I don't have any offensive abilities with it. From what I can make out it protects itself and its host , and it consumes with avarice. It will take and take indefinitely, but anything It takes becomes inert once consumed."
-
" So won't it take you at some point?"
-
[i] She shakes her head[/i] No it's symbiotic, without a host it would just become weak and starving but never dying an eternity of want."
-
" Good. You're a good friend. Wouldn't want you to go out like that."
-
[i] She realises she's staring, '[b]' God he has changed so much '[/b]., she smiles at him, then pauses [/i] R: " You know I tried to think a way to pass this thing on to Hunger , Zen worked out he'd have just consumed himself more or less . Apparently tho it doesn't leave its host until they expire." [i] She looks down at the underside of her fore arms black snake like shadows slither under her skin.[/i]
-
Edited by IXMMISmokey: 12/14/2015 10:12:49 PM" So. We gonna head back or are we staying here?"
-
[i] Nods reluctantly[/i] R " When your ready just take my hand" [i] She begins to focus quietly reaching into the shadows to wake the power that will take them back.[/i]
-
Lake takes her hand in his own. He wasn't sure what to expect in the return trip.
-
[i] When she opens her eyes they are just a pools of a Matt black substance, it starts flow like tears, at the same time both Lake and Ro start to dematerialise, starting at their extremities. Until they are just one shadow. Oddly he can still feel her hand in his but outside of that he... They have no form. When she does speak its inside his head so she tries to be quiet. [/i] R " Prepare yourself , you will hurt quite possibly like you've never hurt before," [i] There is a small shift in the shadows of the room where Switch had been treating Lake. Romii is the first to step out , she leads Lake into the room , and although dimly lit the light is still uncomfortable to them.[/i] [i] Turning to Lake[/i] R " You okay ? " [i] She loosens her grip on him [/i]
-
Instantly, Lake falls into a kneel, clutching at the area where he was recently healed. He hardly noticed it back in the other realm, but here, it felt like fire. After a few seconds, he finds the strength to stand. Thankfully, he had his helmet on, to hide the immense pain he could feel.
-
[i] Resisting the urge to just take him back Ro waits until he comes to terms with it.[/i] Ro "Just say when it gets too much and we'll take a break." [i]She knows this probably a pointless gesture knowing his drive to push on and finish this. But she felt she ought to at least give him the option of somewhere free from the pain.[/i]
-
" I'm fine. Just a little sore. We need to focus on Aries..."
-
[i]Exactly the response she expected.[/i] R " Suppose we need to find out who is left."
-
" Yeah.... I suppose..." Lake stopped. He was looking at someone he hadn't seen in a long time. Erik. (( This is gonna be a new post. ))
-
" I can take you back now if your ready," [i] She's not convinced he's anywhere near ready, or maybe it's the guilt she feels that makes her want to keep them there, she doesn't know. She looks up to see if he's ready.[/i]
