Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

Eventually, a long ways down, there's a view of the base of a mountain.

 

Stephanie keeps walking, curious.

 

In reverse, Crystal curls up on the ground, and seems to get sucked up along the side of the mountain rapidly, until there's an opening which he stands and looks over the edge.

 

Stephanie starts running to make the pictures go faster.

 

All in reverse, the pictures show Crystal backing up towards something, then curling up in it.
Suddenly, a dragon comes into the cave, obviously in reverse so it looks like the dragon is flying out of the cave.
The dragon is of no means small, with a dark blue coloring.
It seems to take hold of Crystal in one claw, and something else that seems like a bunch of light-purple gemstones in the other.
This part doesn't hold much, most of the view is just a claw, or other purple gemstones.

 

"Hmm." Stephanie ponders for a moment, and throws another crystal down the tunnel; before teleporting to it again.

 

Crystal's sitting down now, with a small fire on his fingertips.
He's on an island, with gems and crystals of rainbow or light-purple color all around him.
"Hey, are you still there?"
The voice rings from all around.

 

"Yeah." Stephanie says.

 

"Alright. I was just checking. It's kinda getting harder and harder to sense you. Just be careful, the farther you go in. If anything goes terribly wrong, I could always take off the helmet for you."

 

"I-I think it's best I come out now, actually." Stephanie says nervously.

 

"Alright."
"Well that's a little unfortunate."
A second, unfamiliar voice jumps in, but Crystal doesn't seem to notice.
"So should I just take the helmet off?"

 

"No, that could destroy my mind and leave me in your mind forever; it's a delicate process." Stephanie says.

"Who are you?" She whispers.

 

"Then how should you get out?"
"You have three choices. Guess, then I'll answer."

 

"I'll leave when I'm ready, don't worry." Stephanie says.

"The thing that made crystal?" Stephanie whispers.

 

"Alright then..."
"Bingo. I love when people are smart. Come along more down the tunnel. Don't worry, I can't hurt you here, nor do I want to."

 

Stephanie throws a crystal as hard as she can, teleporting to it far down the tunnel.

 

Stephanie teleports right in front of a door, identical to the one to get into the tunnel.
The picture of the wall is now just a view of an ocean, from a rock's height.

 

Stephanie opens the door and heads through.

 

It's an office space, one that looks like it belongs to a headmaster of sorts. Almost like a one-on-one talking room, with one person having high authority over the other.
The room is multi-colored, like Crystal's eyes, and it has a few things in it, such as a big chair, face towards the door, and a smaller chair, face towards the big chair.
Sitting in the big chair, seems to be Thirteen(?), smoking a cigarette.
"Hey."
It's certainly not Thirteen's voice.

 

Stephanie turns red, "Uh, hey." She says, staring at the faux-thirteen.
