Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"Please. That would help immensely."


The halls are quieter than usual.

 

The presence around Sivius seems to form into a strange distortion in front of him, which disappears has he feels something grab onto him. Sivius is soon taken through space at inconceivable speeds, arriving at what seems to be a magic barrier surrounding a large cluster of massive floating islands, a massive tree in the middle of them. A hole the size of Sivius is opened in the barrier, and he's pushed toward it.

"Good luck." Caelia says, before her presence fades and Sivius feels let go.


"Hello?" Abigail calls out, her bare feet slapping on the floor as she idly walks down the hall.

 

"Thank you." He says, flying through the gap.


Linoa seems to bust out of the training room.
"Hey Abigail!" She says, darting by.

 

Sivius feels a slight gravitational pull toward the nearest floating island, and he can see various golems wandering about idly on most of the islands.


Abigail lets out a scream, surprised, holding her hand like a gun with a flame on the end of her index finger.

"Don't scare me like that!" Abigail shouts, annoyed.

 

Sivius follows the pull.


"Sorry!" She calls, disappearing around the corner of the hallway.

 

Sivius ends up landing on one of the further out islands. There's a glimmer of light from some of the flowers, revealing a discarded sickle in the grass.


Abigail seems rather curious, heading toward the training room Linoa busted out of.

 

He looks over the sickle before heading off to the center island, or whatever looks like the hub of the island cluster.


Crystal's amusing Muffy, but there are arenas and training dummies as far as her eye can see, an entire armory open for public use upstairs.

 

The sickle appears to be fairly simple in design, markings on it suggesting it's used to harvest plants from the islands.

A few of the golems give Sivius suspicious looks, or as suspicious as their robotic-looking faces can give, but mostly leave him alone. It's quite the long trip to the centre island, wooden bridges connecting them, but Sivis eventually makes it; a dense forest taking up most of the island.


Abigail decides to walk over to Crystal.

@Enhanced_Human

"Hey, Crystal!" Abigail says happily, walking over to Crystal in nothing but a flame-patterned bikini.

 

Sivius looks for a building to enter.

 

There don't appear to be any buildings around, and the forest appears to be mostly untouched. A red squirrel timidly investigates Sivius from a short distance.

 

Sivius looks for a particularly high concentration of magic.

 

There's high amounts of magic coming from underground, rising toward the large tree in the centre of the island.

 

Sivius looks for a path underground, or simply a way to get there in general.

 

The only visible path seems to be the tree, the magic able to flow through it easily. A few golems appear to be headed to the tree, looking damaged.

 

Sivius opts to follow the golems, remaining silent.

 

The forest appears to be quite dense, creeping vines attempting to trip Sivius, and small insects biting into him to drain his blood. The forest is rather dark, the only sunlight creeping in through gaps in the leaves.

Sivius eventually makes it to a clearing, where the gargantuan tree lies. Sivius is ant sized compared to one of the smaller roots of the tree. The damaged golems appear to be climbing the roots to get to a higher elevation on the tree, some heading into a strange doorway that appears and disappears once they reach the trunk.

 

The bugs that bite him find his blood terribly corrosive and his scales rapidly regenerating, though he seems to be able to avoid being tripped.
He uses his broadsword as a torch, keeping behind the golems.

 

The door seems to react to small crystals embedded in the golems chests. If Sivius is quick enough, he'll be able to slip in before the door closes as a golem passes through.

 

He sheathes his blade and blinks in just as a golem passes in. Or tries to, blinking through the golem.

 

Sivius finds himself in a strange room within the tree, golems stepping into alcoves in a wooden wall which transport them down through the tree, the platforms regrowing for the next damaged golem.
