❖ ISHIKI & VESSTALI
A scene spread out before them;
The roots of a tree, wrapped around the earth.
An encroaching shadow, smelling as hideous as a festering wound. Out of a gap in the universe, plants that spread a hideous miasma, monsters that hunted the flesh of every living thing, sparing not even the spirit to reach the afterlife beyond.
Holes carved in a place they did not go, drawing in the unsuspecting towards their end.
Blocks where even celestial sight could not see into the plane below as some entity interfered with their vision, each point of interference carefully noted and marked.
"I see you have been watching young one?" An ancient voice observed, echoing through the shared spiritual space of mind to mind exchange.
"Yes."
"Thank you for standing so quickly to the defense of our land."
"We should act further. This is about the world and perhaps even more. If our neighbors fall, so will our chosen. I can close the rifts. I can cut the cords, confine it to the realm it comes from."
"And upset the already fragile balance that prevents our worlds from falling in on one another, or spinning off into the void in the process. Your choice was a creative stopgap, but continuing in that method slowly but surely causes as much damage as you hope to prevent. Vesstali. You are fully capable of seeing this."
"Would it not be so bad if the dark realm was cut adrift? So many evils spawn from it."
"As they do from the mortal realms and even the heavens on occasion. This you also know. There is sense in these things."
"...."
"I am watching the rifts closely. I suggest you do the same. Not all who come from them may be of the same cloth."
"Yes. I see what you are saying"
I see what you're saying...
There may be light at the end on this path.
