  1. [16:35] Gisei Ultovex says, "Oh there is a Demon friend here."
  2. [16:35] Eniel Daigal says, "Hm I remeber them they gave me advice when I was younger."
  3. [16:35] Gisei Ultovex whispers: Our Audiance grows larger and larger each time.
  4. [16:35] And there's even an Arkgvunde here!
  5.  
  6. The Glade of the Fae is once more revealed to the group, or perhaps for the first time for Vedran? In either case, it was a magical land- A dreamlike world filled with a compulsive feeling of happiness and joy, though easily resisted should one dislike it.
  7.  
  8. An island floating amidst a starry ocean, trees circling one giant one in the center; The Eternal Tree.
  9.  
  10. "Welcome! And it looks like Arkgvunde has yet to leave, mm."
  11. (Nyphadora)
  12. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  13.  
  14. [16:36] Eniel Daigal whispers: Heh seems that way.
  15. [16:38] Unsure of what to expect! But as they entered Nyphadora's Glade? The Cainite locked up, speechless! "Huh." Dreamlike world aside, it was a rather peaceful and happy place; it wasn't frigid or gloomy..
  16.  
  17. "Beautiful..."
  18.  
  19. Whether it be the giant tree, or the starry ocean that sat below the floating island.
  20.  
  21. It was astonishing.
  22.  
  23. "A little realm all fer' yourself, I'm stunned."
  24. (Vedran Ivanovich)
  25. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  26.  
  27. [16:42] And so the demonic spirit entered the rift between realms. Made by Nyphadora and accompanied by Eniel as well as by Vedran and the fae who made said rift. Soon, the Nethradin scanned the surrounding area, giving it a look. Where they on one floating island, surrounded by even more floating islands? It was certainly a strange place to be for sure.
  28.  
  29. However there was a wince. Being so far away from her anchor to the physical realm caused a crack to appear in her cheek. As if a bullet had impacted the flesh and began to damage it like a piece of sturdy glass, but it was just a crack. "Huh... just where are we anyway? On a dimensional level?"
  30. (Hathor)
  31. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  32.  
  33. [16:42] Gisei Ultovex says, "This is its own dimension in a way... "
  34. [16:42] Gisei Ultovex says, "Between the spirit and physical plain."
  35. [16:43] Eniel Daigal says, "Hm now that I think about it....Is it wise for Hathor to travel so far from master"
  36. [16:43] Nyphadora says, "Mm."
  37. [16:47] The Worldscape was a world without limits- In the most literal sense possible.
  38.  
  39. Whatever energy Hathor required was supplied immediately; was it the literal connection to Sors that was required, pocket holes would open invisible to the eye, connecting Dawn to the one they were within. If not, a copy of it was given- And on the off chance none of it worked; injury, death and the like was an impossibility within the world of Dreams.
  40.  
  41. It was a literal World for the Fairy to be a god over after all.
  42.  
  43. "It shouldn't matter for her safety, anything can be done within this realm- That is the benefit of being in good favour with the divine Lady Vigilat, yes?" And of course some other shenanigans the Fairy would never truly reveal.
  44.  
  45. "But! We are here to learn, are we not? I was thinking of making this session one for meditation- To connect with the world around is. Not quite required for Necromancy, though recommended- And if anything, it is the pathway to Chaos should that ever be desired."
  46.  
  47. A smile, "It is, however, a requirement for Riftmancy. But first! Are there any questions that need answering?"
  48. (Nyphadora)
  49. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  50.  
  51. [16:48] Vedran Ivanovich asks, "... What happens if I jump off the island?"
  52. [16:48] Hathor says, "Chaos magic and necromancy are two things i am interested in, so."
  53. [16:49] Arkgvunde continued to idly sway in the background from a non-existent breeze. The false world of the Worldscape provided the Demon with their usual accoutrements. It even had those Wind Crystals dangling from its branches in Eternia.
  54. (Arkgvunde Vel'heim)
  55. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  56.  
  57. [16:49] Eniel Daigal says, "Nyphadora saidyou cannot die here unless permited by her or Tragedy but...if you were to end up dead or in a state of death you wouldn't ver be able to leave."
  58. [16:49] Eniel Daigal says, "As things are now though if you jumped off you'd end right back up here"
  59. [16:49] Arkgvunde Vel'heim says, "Or fall onto a different island, considering some peoples' luck."
  60. [16:50] Hathor asks, "I just feel a little odd. If my physical body starts to deteriorate slingshot me through a rift back to Dawn, aye?"
  61. [16:50] Gisei sits down on the patch of grass... Waiting for the questions to be over! They were the exact same ones that they had asked, so it was no biggie!
  62. (Gisei Ultovex)
  63. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  64.  
  65. [16:51] Eniel Daigal says, "Its fine anything is possible in this world if Nyphadora wills it you should be okay."
  66. [16:52] Hathor says, "If only Nyphadora could be my binder... anyway."
  67. [16:52] Eniel sits on the grass next to Gisei and relaxes. " Hmm Well i suppose we should be prepared for our next lesson right? Oh by the way Hathor what did you want to be taught?"
  68. (Eniel Daigal)
  69. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  70.  
  71. [16:52] Hathor says, "Meditation--mmm."
  72. [16:53] Gisei Ultovex says, "You almost sound disrespectful towards Lord Ultovex for bringing you here. Hathor."
  73. [16:53] Hathor quickly folds her legs together in mid-air, before allowing her gravity magics to descend her body down slowly, from there, both her arms sat in her lap. To Eniel, she'd speak to responses. "Chaos Magic. Necromancy. If this meditation works for either, good.
  74. (Hathor)
  75. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  76.  
  77. [16:53] Hathor asks, "Not my intention, anyway. Lessons, yes?"
  78. [16:54] Eniel Daigal says, "Necromancy huh...rather interesting of an art."
  79. [16:58] Vedran relents! sitting down on a patch of grass parrelel to Hathor... Without any more mundane questions.
  80. (Vedran Ivanovich)
  81. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  82.  
  83. [16:58] Gisei Ultovex says, "Maybe something I'll learn after mastering Riftmancy and how to bend the world to my will with Chaos magic."
  84. [16:59] Eniel Daigal says, "Hm...I want to connect to my star in a deeper manner. Become its vessel if thats even possible...Only time will tell though."
  85. [17:00] Eniel Daigal says, "If i was any more zealous i think i might even try to become a death mage but...I don't think it suits me."
  86. [17:02] Hathor says, "Little that a death mage can do that a cosmic chaos mage cannot."
  87. [17:03] Eniel Daigal says, "Hm I suppose thats true. A corrupted star can contain immsense volumes of souls..."
  88. [17:04] Arkgvunde Vel'heim says, "Any given constellation can hold a continents' worth of souls at a time."
  89. [17:05] Eniel Daigal says, "Thats reassuring."
  90. [17:05] Hathor says, "I wonder how many would be needed to forge my star."
  91. [17:05] Eniel Daigal says, "Maybe a small country. But we'll start somewhere."
  92. [17:05] Eniel Daigal says, "I've heard of a town on Agartha in the past used a spire shard for it"
  93. [17:05] Gisei Ultovex says, "You should look into the research of the star that was previously on Agartha, Hathor."
  94. [17:05] Gisei Ultovex says, "An artificial one, built by a city now in ruin."
  95. [17:06] Arkgvunde Vel'heim says, "I find it ironic that Huangzhou's northernmost villages are built right on top of it."
  96. [17:06] Gisei Ultovex says, "Mm, I believe the angels are somewhat broken away from Huangzhou."
  97. [17:06] Eniel Daigal says, "Huangzhou itself is ironic"
  98. [17:07] Hathor says, "Perhaps I can find research."
  99. [17:07] Hathor says, "A spire shard for a core would liely be necessary."
  100. [17:07] Gisei Ultovex says, "I'd say that's a must."
  101. [17:09] Eniel Daigal says, "I'm sure we'll secure one eventually."
  102. [17:09] Eniel Daigal says, "we can also look more into that research"
  103. [17:09] Eniel Daigal says, "and build upon it"
  104. [17:09] Gisei Ultovex says, "Could always find one of their research labs. Or even ask Lady Nyphadora, as I'm sure she was around for that ... Event."
  105. [17:10] Hathor says, "I have about half the necessary Tyrium to make the chamber in which the star will be housed."
  106. [17:16] "Dawn is built upon the ruins of Ardent, much is ironic on Agartha."
  107.  
  108. And so it would seem the Fae was back alive! Who knows what happened.
  109.  
  110. "So! Meditation. And questions. If you fall off then yes, you just appear back here- And death is impossible in here. The very concept does not exist lest created, yes?"
  111.  
  112. One could try to destroy anything in here, and find themselves failing to do so.
  113.  
  114. "Meditation is a requirement, where one must focus and tunnel their emotions- To try and establish a connection to the energy around us. Whilst it is not entirely required for Riftmancy to go further than simply establishing a connection, you could attempt to draw upon the Chaotic or Orderly power too- Though that requires certain emotions am sure you could guess."
  115.  
  116. "For Riftmancy however, it is important in order to 'read' the location you wish to 'mark', so that you may later go there. For Necromancy… Well, you are calling upon a soul that resides beyond our world, so a connection must be established to perform this 'call'."
  117.  
  118. "I would go more into detail about either art but... It is tough when there is two subjects to speak of, so we will focus on practicing this time- And next time will be theory."
  119.  
  120. A blink. "And next time we won't have both Necromancy and Riftmancy at once…"
  121.  
  122. A glance was paid to Hathor, "Ah, and did you remember to try and study anatomy? A basic understanding is required for Necromancy."
  123. (Nyphadora)
  124. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  125.  
  126. [17:18] Hathor says, "Focus on the riftmancy for now, I might be interested in it, so I'll take notes either way."
  127. [17:22] The woman would procure from her sachle the last of the remaining pages that Nyphadora had given to both Eniel and herself, some small things written down on the notebook she clung onto for dear life... "Marking a location." She let out a small sigh of relief. She had two circles that helped her do exactly that already...
  128.  
  129. One to see the place, and another to make it down and its path through the Spirit Realm. While only one part of the second circle may actually be useful, it was nice to know that she was somewhat able to do that without connecting to the world around her per say...
  130.  
  131. She offered a small smile of relief towards Hathor... Maybe she'd join her on her adventures into Necromancy! Yet on a much later date.
  132. (Gisei Ultovex)
  133. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  134.  
  135. [17:28]
  136. {LOAD GAME}
  137.  
  138. [17:33] Eniel nods placing is legs to interlock with each other so he sat crisscross. He explored his mind first, Knowing allowing for his body to stay anchored. Luckily the youth had not been stranger to meditation. during his younger years he used this method to form a connection with his first stars.
  139.  
  140. Now that he had the red star it only ever wanted to connect with him. Like a scorned lover it wouldn't ever let him not be attached. Always pulling at him...Through the gaze of the stars he was able to channel an understanding of the lifestream he could witness the ebbs and flows of the lifestream at least in theory.
  141.  
  142. To him the lifestream flowed like an autonomous river, Its movements like the surface of a lake reflected by the moon. It was up to him to be the one to sever the connection and breach into the world...Creating a vortex a sort of gate.
  143.  
  144. Although instead he just grazed the surface of the other side, Allowing his mind to explore instead of tamper for now. As Nyphadora said he would have to learn how to utilize this method to connect with different places so he would go to the easiest one...allowing his emotions to take over him.
  145.  
  146. Dawn would be the simplest to him it represented pride, honor, and Liberation of both life and death. He viewed them as a leverage a way to gain more power and accomplish his own goals as well...
  147. (Eniel Daigal)
  148. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  149.  
  150. [17:43] "Riftmancy then, mm."
  151.  
  152. "The art of tearing open a hole in the life stream, and then knitting it together with another hole. Creating, in a sense, a door. In order to open said hole, one requires an established 'connection' of some sort, or at the very least a way to 'reach' the life stream. And to locate your 'mark', the same is again required. And of course to open the final hole there as well!"
  153.  
  154. A nod was given, the little Fairy swift to dash on forward and come to a halt in between the trio.
  155.  
  156. "So it only makes sense that meditation is a requirement for Riftmancy as well!"
  157.  
  158. She looked around quickly, settling her eyes momentarily on the meditating Eniel- Hopefully he could pay attention still!
  159.  
  160. "If this step cannot be cleared then… Well, none of the arts are worthwhile to teach you. You would likely fail. So! Do pass."
  161. (Nyphadora)
  162. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  163.  
  164. [17:44] Gisei Ultovex says, "What ..."
  165. [17:44] Gisei Ultovex asks, "Are we trying to do while meditating?"
  166. [17:44] Gisei itches the side of her head...
  167. (Gisei Ultovex)
  168. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  169.  
  170. [17:46] As a spiritual being Hathor shouldn't have much trouble connecting to the aether and the powers connected to it, right? After all--- she was a being who was inherently chaotic. A creature that was once a human soul but now manifested into that of something tainted and corrupt--- all due to the sins of her former life.
  171.  
  172. Even if her form was physical as it was--- it was a reflection of the spirit inside. A mere shell for the ghost of a once-vile and irredeemable magi ghost to dwell within to better adapt to this world.
  173.  
  174. Still, she'd close her eyes, and attempt to reach out toward the energy that was. Did the Worldscape even have the same energy as the Spirit Realm or the Physical Plane? questionable. And yet--- she'd do as her instructor advised. Attempt to take in the energy of the world around her. See it without seeing. Hear the whispers of the past without it being in the present, have the energy run against her shell's flesh without actually touching.
  175.  
  176. There was a dedicated focus. But as a Cosmic magi, it became easier than it would for most. With miniature stars being so close, she could pull in the energies around her, absorb it, truly feel the stars invigorate her very being. For a time, Hathor would focus on this. Her body beginning to glimmer with starlight, making her crimson skin shimmer as if it was made of precious micro-rubies.
  177. (Hathor)
  178. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  179.  
  180. [17:48] She kind of just... Sits there...
  181.  
  182. "I-.."
  183.  
  184. She bites down on her bottom lip... "I'm unsure on what exactly I should be doing while meditating, Lady Nyphadora…" She was going to tell her instructor the truth, this was perhaps a part of this whole journey that she will struggle with the most. Trying to connect to these points without the aid of any previously mentioned circles.
  185.  
  186.  
  187. (Gisei Ultovex)
  188. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  189.  
  190. [17:48] Nyphadora says, "Ah. Mm."
  191. [17:49] Nyphadora says, "Consider it... Self reflection."
  192. [17:49] Gisei Ultovex says, "Uhm..."
  193. [17:49] Nyphadora says, "Simply relax and self reflect upon everything you can improve, upon what is wrong and so on."
  194. [17:49] Gisei Ultovex asks, "And that will aid us in tearing open rifts?"
  195. [17:49] Gisei Ultovex says, "But if you so.."
  196. [17:50] Nyphadora exclaims, "Yes!"
  197. [17:50] Nyphadora says, "You must establish a connection to the energy around you."
  198. [17:50] Gisei Ultovex asks, "So this is a step into the Arcane too... Is it not?"
  199. [17:50] Nyphadora says, "And you can only do so by channeling your emotions, which becomes possible when you have meditated enough."
  200. [17:50] Nyphadora says, "Yes."
  201. [17:50] Gisei Ultovex says, "I see.."
  202. [17:50] Nyphadora says, "But it is a fundemental requirement for Riftmancy as well."
  203. [17:51] Eniel Daigal says, "If I had to put it into words its perhaps like...opening your eyes to the lifestream. While most ignore it we as riftmancers or even Necromancers have to be aware of it."
  204. [17:51] Eniel Daigal says, "If we're to maniuplate these energies we must be concious of it within ourselves and around us as well."
  205. [17:52] Nyphadora says, "It can take months, even years for some."
  206. [17:52] Nyphadora says, "So worry not about failing."
  207. [17:52] Nyphadora says, "... Well, worry a bit."
  208. [17:52] Nyphadora says, "But not too much in the beginning."
  209. [17:52] Nyphadora exclaims, "And should all else fail, we can utilize runes to aid you later. But first, practice naturally!"
  210. [17:53] Nyphadora has already explained she finds those who fail unworthy though.
  211. (Nyphadora)
  212. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  213.  
  214. [17:55] Vedran Ivanovich asks, "Huh... Can our kind even harness the arcane?"
  215. [17:57] Nyphadora says, "Mm..."
  216. [17:57] Nyphadora says, "Chaos and Order require strong emotions."
  217. [17:57] Nyphadora says, "The arts that do not exactly require emotions would be Riftmancy... And Necromancy."
  218. [17:57] Gisei positioned herself on the ground, placing her hands on her lap in a comfortable position. Meditate what you can improve? What is wrong and so on. Those were the teachings of her Teacher. So she would do exactly that... As her eyes close and her body relaxes, tuning out the world around her only to a certain degree Gisei would begin at an attempt to meditate...
  219.  
  220. It was almost strange, to go into this while an undead... She could feel the snake that Sors had leashed around her very body, gnawing and giving her suggestions through his command. The energies of those around her and this - dreamscape. Such a weird place it was... Yet as she lingered deeper she truly began to think, think about everything.
  221.  
  222. Yet perhaps meditation wasn't the right thing for her to do, as flashes of energies would begin to be fed to her by the lifestream against her own will. Connecting to it, or at least attempting to connect to it almost felt wrong by the undead.
  223.  
  224. Energies from her past life - experiences... Feelings, even with her memory part of her brain removed, the life stream never forgets... Her spirit never forgets. As she dwelled deeper and deeper into her own mind, her body would begin to shake slightly, her eyes shut in almost winces of pain.
  225.  
  226. Yet she felt it still - the vast world around her to some extreme, the tree of youth that stood before her, and the energies of the realm itself... Yet it only took a handful of minutes for her to snap out of it, opened her eyes and almost gasping for air...
  227.  
  228. "Oh boy..." She shook her head. She was trying to detach herself from Aaliyah as much as possible and here it was... Everything being fed back to her as if on purpose...
  229.  
  230. "Going to try again..."
  231. (Gisei Ultovex)
  232. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  233.  
  234. [17:57] Nyphadora asks, "And perhaps Wayfinding, I suppose?"
  235. [17:57] Nyphadora says, "I would assume some special ones could."
  236. [17:57] Nyphadora says, "But most probably not."
  237. [17:57] Vedran Ivanovich says, "Interesting.."
  238. [17:58] Gisei Ultovex says, "Wayfinding is exclusive to Order and Chaos I believe... Lady Nyphadora."
  239. [17:58] Gisei Ultovex says, "Wayfinding is not an art that is a part of Chaos or Order, Lady Nyphadora."
  240. [17:58] Nyphadora says, "I am aware, however..."
  241. [17:59] Nyphadora says, "I am unsure if a Vampire could do it."
  242. [18:00] Vedran Ivanovich says, "Hm.."
  243. [18:01] Nyphadora says, "But in any case, you could always use a relic or an artifact to channel it through."
  244. [18:01] Nyphadora says, "Like a sword that can cut through dimensions."
  245. [18:01] Nyphadora says, "That would be cool."
  246. [18:02] Vedran Ivanovich says, "I've seen something like that before - Malentine Invidia possessed one such blade."
  247. [18:02] Nyphadora says, "Oh? Well then."
  248. [18:02] Nyphadora says, "That is an option too."
  249. [18:04] Vedran Ivanovich says, "I question what'd be required for such a blade-.."
  250. [18:04] With cosmic energies surrounding herself, Hathor began to go deeper into her focus. To look toward her path walked thus far, and to attempt to make heads or tails of it. What the point was within the greater scheme of the universe. At first? She was summoned by Sors. A man who was far more monstrous than many others. She both feared him for his control over her form, and respected him for his power. And yet there was anger. Frustration. She ordained to find her freedom, to break herself from the arcane chains that bound her. Freedom, to go about the land as she pleased. To regain power hindered by her physical form.
  251.  
  252. Though she did not speak to the others, the Nethradin continued to tug at what energy the stars provided, continuing the glow.
  253.  
  254. The recent events with Ohtli also annoyed her. How she was forbidden form Entering Crafthold just because of what she was. A Nethradin. A corrupt being but perhaps no farther across the line in which redemption was nigh impossible than a Demon or a Vampire. An anger built. A wounded pride showed itself.
  255.  
  256. She was too weak. Too weak to even put petty little angel boys such as Isaac and Sera in their place. Would they have traveled to the spirit realm, it would have been a much more even match. The core emotion that seemed to radiate off the Nethradin at that very moment?
  257.  
  258. Frustration. Annoyance with ones own lack of ability.
  259. (Hathor)
  260. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  261.  
  262. [18:08] Eniel nods still allowing his mind to wander the flow, Utilizing his senses to not only feel but touched the waters of the lifestream. As he imagined them to be like a mirror like waters surface. Eniel decided to take it a bit further to increase his imaginative powers and extend his thoughts even higher.
  263.  
  264. He was no water magi, Thus the control of water was being him in ever way...although he could effect the flow of it he was no prodigy in this art but he was a fast learner in trying to understand the secrets of the world.
  265.  
  266. Liberate...the power to corrupt all matter within this world and despite the lifestreams core resolve it was not all to resistant to being corrupted...Eniel reimagined the lifestream. It was no longer water instead it was like a current of volatile electrical currents pulsating back and forth...something that made more sense to the master Hellstorm magi....
  267.  
  268. As the currents bounced back and forth Eniel would use his own understanding to manipulate the direction the currents went. He merely intended to gather this energy not utilize it in any way but as he attempted to reach his hands towards it rejected him.
  269.  
  270. Eniel's anger only increased to see he was rejected passage by the lifestream...To be told he was unworthy by anyone even some stupid force that was nothing but a miss used relic of Kraus bothered him all the more. No longer gently Eniel channeled his hatred for it all into one center...the convulsing bolts of the lifestream he envisioned leaping scattering back and forth being pushed aside by Eniel's mind...
  271.  
  272. Until....they recoiled and broke free....Eniel's body began to shimmer with electrical chaotic power flowing around him the Red star also pulsated its magics towards him bathing him in every so dim crimson light hidden behind the yellow he was able to manage.

  274. " I think I've found some form of doing this....but its not perfect....its like holding lightning in a bottle.....I can grasp it but containing where it flows is a little difficult right now..." He said in anger and frustration within his voice yet he continued to try to strangle the lifestreams Speedforce if he had to.

  277.  
  278. [18:13] "Good, good! You are all progressing wonderfully."
  279.  
  280. She spoke whilst eyes were laid upon Hathor, the Fairy's innate ability to sense the emotions of others no doubt ringing with the Nethradin- What a wonderful candidate for the art of Chaos.
  281.  
  282. "Everyone feels different with this- And some even feel nothing, despite later on being able to channel the power. It is an odd thing, and it is mostly based on your personality and life experiences."
  283.  
  284. The Arcane was a school filled with emotions after all, strong emotions that could only be achieved through life changing events- Good or bad alike.
  285.  
  286. Attention seemed to remain on the Nethradin as she spoke, her head even tilting a bit to the right.
  287.  
  288. "My suggestion for you is to find a location in which you can meditate daily- And for the sake of Riftmancy, keep it the same spot every time. It becomes much easier to teleport there as your first 'rift' experience later on, as you are already plenty of accustomed to the area."
  289.  
  290. "Any questions?" She asked, despite the fact two of them still seemed to be dwelling in their own mind-- But alas, most could hear her despite it. If not, they were simply caught up upon it immediately afterwards. Why? How? Worldscape.
  291. (Nyphadora)
  292. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  293.  
  294. [18:15] Meditate in the same spot for a while in order to become attuned to the one place... She could do that - but first she'd need to battle her own demons. Fight the experiences of Aaliyah shoving her out of this form... She nodded her head, looking down on her body...
  295.  
  296. Was she really a different person just because her memories were gone?
  297.  
  298. She shrugged slightly, looking towards the two that had joined them for the meditation session. It was difficult, and almost heartbreaking to know that she was the one who was holding them back now, even though she was able to /will/ the papers to ignite with her mana back when she was practicing that much...
  299.  
  300. She nodded her head...
  301.  
  302. "Understood - Lady Nyphadora."
  303.  
  304. If this was the end of the lesson, she was more than a little disappointed in herself for not being able to attune to the world around her like the others.

  307.  
  308. [18:22] Sweat began to form on the Nethradin's scalp, dripping down upon her forehead. Though her shell was akin to a reanimated corpse in terms of needs and functionality, it still had some humanity to it. The signs of stress in the form of visible beads dripping down her form made that much clear.
  309.  
  310. Her mind, her spirit was exerting itself. Attempting to cling at the lifestream. To grip at it, force it to bend to her will. To weaponize it to wound those that caused her great anger and annoyance. For those that kicked the devil's pride in the teeth and wounded it. And yet it couldn't reach out. All it felt was the energy from the Worldscape's stars.
  311.  
  312. How could the Nethradin reign as she wished to Reign if she could not beat Isaac? How could the Nethradin destroy all that opposed true liberty and freedom if she was bound to serve the laws of Sors's binds? Finally the frustration gave way to the cosmic beasts release of a burst of stardust. Her eyes finally widening open full.
  313.  
  314. "Nothing I am not used to. It wasn't enough to feel -anything- different."
  315. (Hathor)
  316. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  317.  
  318. [18:22] Meditating in the same spot every day seemed like an easy enough task. He had a spot in the mountains that he could use and figured it would be best to do so there. He did after all grow up there for his time in Agartha.
  319.  
  320. "I understand...I feel as if I need more raw emotion...perhaps because I have not experienced trauma or fear of another I lack the emotions to invoke a raw disturbance into the Lifestream." Eniel clutched his hands still feeling the sensations of his first encounter with lightning he could not hold.
  321.  
  322. " But I understand now what it is I lack, At least a little bit. I need more experience...more knowledge of the world around me and myself as well." and of course his lord...although he kept that portion to himself.
  323.  
  324. "Lady Nyphadora thank you....although I had no real concept of Chaos or how to bend it to my will I feel as if I have an understanding of what's required now...if I ever choose to delve further into it." He stood still for a moment before Placing his hand outstretched in front of him and breathing.
  325.  
  326. " Even though I cannot manipulate that energy if I were to do as you described to open a rift I know I could with more training...Is Meditation all we should do for now?" he asked, Feeling a little excited to get to the next stage but also knew he wouldn't grasp the concepts required for Chaos until he was a bit older nd more experienced in life. Perhaps the first and only time he'd ever accept that his level of maturity wasn't enough for something.

  329.  
  330. [18:36] "Yes, meditation is what you should stay true to for now. Believe it or not, it is extremely important! Next lesson we will go over a lot of theory, essentially explaining every step of Riftmancy. To give you a better picture of everything, yes?"
  331.  
  332. A nod, "But without mastering the art of meditation, not much can be achieved. So! Practice it, preferably daily!"
  333.  
  334. And with but a snap of her fingers, reality itself was torn apart instantly- A portal to Dawn had been opened and much unlike an ordinary rift, the city of Dawn could be seen on the other side. How fancy!
  335.  
  336. "Shall we head back to Dawn then? Oh and Hathor, next time I will introduce you to the basics of Necromancy. Essentially I wish to have you practice the art constantly on critters from next time onwards, until you eventually succeed. It is very simple!" A smile!
  337. (Nyphadora)
  338.  
  339. [18:38] Nyphadora exclaims, "Hello!"
  340. [18:38] Gisei Ultovex asks, "When shall we come back to you, Lady Nyphadora?"
  341. [18:41] Nyphadora says, "When you feel confident with the task given."
  342. [18:43] Eniel nods..this would require a lot of training but he was prepared for the challenge...If he was to show his devotion not only to the art but to his lord he would need such tenacity.
