The Crux of the Matter

[Velmont]

OOC: 2000 posts (well 2001 with this one), that's a lot of post for a single thread...

Rinaldo opens his eyes...

[SBLOCk=OOC]Anything have changed during Rinaldo abscence? Where does he reappear?[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Rinaldo appears right where he disappeared. If he hadn't totally resolved to leave the Crux alone, there is an instant where he might have been able to attack, but he uses that instant to retreat away from the Crux instead, and so he is back in the present.*

"Rinaldo, you're back! Thank goodness you are safe. I'm afraid we feared the worst."

 

[Velmont]

"I've seen the worst... and it will happen if we destroy the Crux." tells Rinaldo. He looks around as if searching a presnece. "Sin, you see it, I had the chance to destroy the Crux. I could have done so but I didn't. You were right, destroying the Crux is not an option."

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Since pretty much everyone will be arriving nearly simultaneously in the past, no matter the time they spend in the future discussing after Rinaldo lept back in time, I'll need to wait to see what happens. Technically, I suppose that he may not have even gotten a chance to have those words yet before the next person comes back too. )

Tenebrynn stops moving suddenly

ooc: back

 

[Rystil Arden]

*In a split second, they have all returned except Guile (even Elektra, from elsewhere). Presumably Guile is in a better place now. Each of them moves away from the Crux, though only Ashna must do so with any hurry.*

"Well that was weird," Rayne says, "Now, weren't you going to destroy the Crux though?"

 

[Bront]

"No, but we can make sure no one else ever uses it," Vanitri says.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"How so?" Rayne wonders.

"Vanitri, thank goodness you're safe!" Laynie exclaims happily.

 

[Bront]

Vanitri smiles and hugs Laynie, "Good to see you too."

"I'm not sure, perhaps sending it away, or sealing off the tower again and setting some kind of ward around the area. In the wrong hands, it's not safe. It may not even be safe in the right hands, but I can't destroy it."
