Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

She takes it back, then pauses.
"Still yes, but not as much."

 

Strangely, this time Ihra feels a strange sort of power coming from the hollow area of the ring, yet she feels an urge to not put it on. Not yet.

"Keep that ring as a memory of me if I do ever disappear, at least." I say, before glancing toward my team.

 

"Will do." She says, stashing it again.

She glances off towards the group, then starts channeling a spell.
"Hope you're ready. I'm not getting any more prepped standing around."

 

"Keep yourself safe during the battle. I have some...plans for the initial attack of guards." I say, psyching myself up.

 

"I'll try. There's... a path of my own I have to take, though."

 

"Do you want anyone to go with you? I could try and arrange something with Myria." I ask.

 

"No, but... I'd need someone to guard my body while I work through the trials. Solo ascension has a solo element to it."

 

"What phase will you be doing the rituals?" I ask.

 

"As soon as we get a foothold inside the palace. I kinda need you to hold out and defend a dormant me until I can help with fighting Xlentia directly." Ihra says, nervous as this goes against the plan.

 

"I...can't do that. I'm one of the few people with enough power here to charge our main attack on Xlentia to hopefully weaken her enough to make her vulnerable. Couldn't you wait until after our attack when more people would be available?" I ask.

 

"I can't free a sealed Xlentia." Ihra sighs, shaking her head. "What I can do, though, is interrupt her erasure channeling... just not of me. If she tries to wipe you, I've got you covered. When she tries to wipe me... well... that's what I need help with."

 

"Isn't that what Abigail and Ignia are for?" I ask.

 

"They'll need to break the glyph tablet she'll etch before she finishes. I don't think any of you will be able to stop her other spells, but it should be enough."

 

"Glyph tablet? Is it weak to fire or explosions?" I ask.

 

"It's a tough magic stone, so I don't think it's weak to it, but it should be breakable with fire."

 

"By magic stone do you mean like a mage crystal or a tablet of stone charged with power?" I ask, summoning a mage crystal as an example.

 

"I mean a slab the size of a castle that Xlentia scratches glyphs in." Ihra says, showing you a rough telepathic image of Xlentia scratching a simple spell into what looks like a wall.

 

"So blow it up with a ton of explosives? I'll arm Abigail and Ignia with what I can if that's that case," I say, "Heh, imagine if I got them to fire a giant rocket I was riding on into Xlentia's mouth. That's be cool and funny."

 

"Sure, whatever you'd use to break a giant slab of rock." Ihra says, somewhat distant.

 

"Cool, I'll be right back." I say running over to Abigail and Ignia. After a bit of explaining, I start summoning in bombs, missiles and other explosives, forming a large pile of explosives that seem to be increasing in size and power with each one, before disappearing and returning with an odd looking imp like creature which picks up most of the explosives for Abigail and Ignia.
