Perspective : Regina ClementEverything was on track. We reUnited with our lost friends, I still don't know who that lady was.But as long as everyone's safe, no one cares. She might as well be divine intervention.I have observed Conrad, at times I have seen him staring at his blade intently and parting lips, as If he was talking to someone.I understand him like no other, people think that he has no soul. I know he cares about me and everyone else here, even if he might not show it let alone believe it. From the first day of the expedition, I have seen, everyone's been on edge around him. They behave and act in a way as to not provoke him, which was ultimately secluding him from others. Even if he reacts insane, everyone was doing their best to ignore his actions, and I appreciated that.However, they too couldn't deny the fact, that the reason we all were still breathing, Conrad had a huge part in it. Just like everyone else.I wished, I could explain his condition to everyone, but
Perspective : Thor GildOur fates are written by gods. What better to prove that, than a living example.Me and Everyone else in our group were those examples. I mean who could have thought an angel from the heavens above, will come to aid us in our time of need. Resurrect the dead. I felt a nary of pain in my back or my shoulders, not a bruise nor a splinter, I distinctly recall Keira mentioning that I had few shattered bones.And there I was, with all my friends, by the wisdom of Arngrim himself, as good as new. I wish I could show this to those fools who refuse to believe in gods, and reject their guidance. But there were more pressing matters than my ego as a believer.We were well rested, after last night's fiasco, I found myself a bit out of order, my mind not as calm and collected as I usually attempt to stay.So, I didn't thought much, just acted on my impulse, I was ashamed of that.However, today was a new day, our bellies were full and we had gotten enough shut eye.So, onc
Perspective : Conrad Garnier I expected that, people ignoring me, no one talking to me. So why did it feel so bothersome?I didn't care, all I did was for the sole reason of saving Regina and Myself. Who knows, what deadly spells Kyle had up his sleeves.So, I did the most sensible thing, shut him up for good, now he couldn't pull anything against, any of us. My actions been expected to come with some amount of backlash.Which brought me back to my first question.Why do I care?It felt pretty uncomfortable, or rather a deep instinct that I messed up.But where?Anywho,Due to Regina's ingenuity, we managed to escape from that ant colony, the things we saw there were truly mind-boggling, otherworldly and grotesque.Never in my life, had I seen an ant queen and so huge at that. It was disgusting and captivating to look at, in the same time. After we managed to escape, we were greeted with an unexpected scenario.Where I thought we would emerge back to the dark forest with tall trees, e
Perspective: Conrad GarnierYesterday's events weighed heavy on my conscience. Curiosity was getting the better of me. Normally I wouldn't care, but the thing I saw beneath that frozen sheet of ice, it's appearance, and the way it moved and seemingly disappeared, I couldn't seem to get that scene out of my mind.Emilia, her lack of reaction, when she saw that thing, raised more questions in my mind.As we went further deeper inside those ruins, we found ourselves in an old town or Village if one may call it. As I walked through the desolate streets, a chilling breeze whispered through the hollow windows of the ruined buildings. I could Imagine these streets bustling with people, however now they stood as a haunting reminder of a forgotten era. I felt as if Shadows danced ominously across the cracked walls, casting eerie silhouettes that seemed to come alive in the sunlight. The air was heavy with a sense of loss and decay, as if the very essence of time had been frozen in this forsake
Perspective : Conrad GarnierSheela exclaimed, "Rise from the ashes, burn your enemy with your eternal fiery embrace, Rising phoenix!".As Sheela waved her wand, a stream of fiery energy emanated from it, converging into a singular point and transforming into a scorching ball of flame. This fiery ball then shape-shifted into a magnificent bird engulfed in blazing flames. With a swift gesture of her hand, Sheela directed the bird towards the Knight, and it fiercely enveloped him in a torrent of flames.After chanting, Sheela fell to her knees and with extreme fatigue in her voice, she uttered, "If this doesn't kill him, then nothing will."Thor Gild gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his voice filled with intense anger as he exclaimed, "For Keira... Ahhh, Thunder clap!" With each step he took, his pace quickened to lightning speed. The air crackled with the sound of thunder as he unsheathed his blade. In a mere moment, his sword sliced through the Knight's abdomen, swiftly and wi
Perspective : Conrad Garnier A gust of strong wind blew past me. That's when I heard crying noises, similar to those of a child. The voice exclaimed, "Anyone! Anyone, father, mother... I can't see. It's dark. HELP ME!" At first, I experienced a tingling sensation, as if my skin was prickling, or an electric surge was coursing through my body. Then, dizziness overcame me, and my vision became blurred as darkness encroached from the edges. Finally, I lost consciousness. I opened my eyes and beheld a vast, cloudless red sky with stars shining brightly despite the daytime. A lingering smell of ashes permeated the air. Above me, a colossal black sun dominated the scene, appearing like an immense void capable of engulfing me in an instant and a Gigantic disk of light encircled around it. (Huh ..)I took a deep breath, and tried to make sense of it all. Though try as I might nothing was ringing any bells.(Where am I ?)(This place....)For a mere moment there I began to entertain the
Perspective : Conrad Garnier Acknowledging the mysteries beyond comprehension, she softly confirmed, "Yes, that is the will of the universe."Her words rang into me like a gentle sonnet. As If the universe is a living being.But how can that be?It was beyond me?And yet I felt as if my life was gradually sinking into a mud pit, it seemed as though she was subtly pressuring me into embracing the role of a "Watcher" and forsaking the life I cherish with Regina. The freedom I had finally attained and the joy I experienced seemed to be slipping through my fingers, disappearing right before my eyes.I couldn't let that happen.There was so much I wanted to do, there was so much I wanted to see. All of them, I couldn't let the freedom that is life pass on me, once I become this entity will I even have my own will, my desires.Will I even be myself.As I thought that the concept of accepting her offer became more haunting and terrifying, I am not afraid of death nor am I afraid of Killing
Perspective : Conrad GarnierIn this precarious situation, my freedom and even my life itself were at stake. I couldn't find any loophole, as everything she had told me seemed authentic. However, I couldn't help but wonder, why me? How did I end up in a seemingly impossible predicament, and yet there I was trying to scheme my way out of an inevitable future that had been all but guaranteed.As she confidently spoke of my future, a tiny flicker of uncertainty crossed my mind. Was it just my imagination, or did I detect a tiny trace of doubt in her confidence?Yet, Her expression remained unchanged; it seemed unlikely that she was deliberately acting this way. It's as if she's confined to a certain demeanor, as if it's all she knows.Yet, through her eyes, I catch glimpses of her true emotions, albeit subtly. It's not overt, but rather nuanced, allowing me to assess her mood. However, it's also just obscure enough to sow seeds of doubt about its authenticity.I began investing from the
