Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"Have you slept enough, Miss Sophie?" Lian asks.

 

"Yeah, I think."

 

"Eaten enough?" Lian asks.

 

"I dunno. Nothing since that goop."

 

"Perhaps you're just hungry, Miss Sophie? Though, if you need to rest, I could always take over control of you for a bit to gather the water." Lian suggests.

 

"Please take control, I can't keep going the distance I need to..." She grumbles.

 

"Oh, very well, Miss Sophie." Lian says, taking over control of Sophie's body. All Sophie can do is look out of her own eyes and think.

 

She does just that, keeping quiet.

After a while, the duo reaches what seems to be just a dirt pit where an ocean was.

 

"Is this were the water is supposed to be?" Lian asks.

 

"Yes, keep going." Sophie says. "The ocean isn't far."

 

Lian walks Sophie onward, into the dirt pit.

 

The dirt pit is not a dirt pit - it's perfectly clear ice.
"Heh, bet that got you. Got me the first time, too."

 

"Wow, this looks like the work of some expert Polar guardians." Lian says, surprised.

 

"Nope, no guardians here. Natural phenomena." Sophie says.

 

"How does this world survive without guardians?" Lian asks, surprised.

 

"Most worlds don't have guardians." Sophie states.

 

"Wow...I wonder how long they'll last." Lian contemplates as he walks Sophie across the ice.

 

"Trillions of years." Sophie states. "Some older than Earth."

 

"They've managed to last that long without the assistance of guardians? Whoa..." Lian says, surprised.

 

"It's nothing impressive..." Sophie sighs. "Trillions of planets last eons without guardians."
