Labalyn's memorial

[Anastasia]

Okay, how are you doing that?

[Nephrite]

Well I admit it seemed like the Guardian was just going to help, but to do it in more of a manual way...

Cresiel, Jetina, Kaja, are you able to hear me? If so, please enter that portal.

[Anastasia]

We hear you. We will do so.

[Nephrite]

Moore will wait!

[Anastasia]

It's not long until the others catch up, "Moore," Kaja calls, "What's going on?"

[Nephrite]

Moore gestures ahead. "The guardian has spent an eternity listening to the song of a certain hopeless one. Through some conversing, they've agreed to let us take on their trials." He says as he turns in that direction.

"I admit, I'm not exactly familiar with the formality of these, but I believe I understand that they can take any form you choose?" Moore asks aloud.

[Anastasia]

Jetina takes a breath and readies herself.

Go forward. Return when you have found the pebble.

[Nephrite]

"You all did hear that, right?" Moore asks as he starts forward!

[Anastasia]

"Crystal clear," Cresiel agrees, already moving forward with you.

Jetina takes the middle as Kaja takes the rear, while Cresiel guards you.  "Far too clear," Kaja says, "A pebble in the void, huh?"

[Nephrite]

"I wouldn't think too much about it." Moore says as he proceeds. "My understanding is that these are sometimes more than what they appear on the surface. I would keep that in mind as we try and solve this."

[Anastasia]

"Hope you're right," Jetina murmurs as you go on.

Just going to fly out ahead and see what happens?

[Nephrite]

Yes.

[Anastasia]

You fly out.

There is nothing everywhere around you. Nothing at all.

[Nephrite]

"So a needle in a nothing haystack?" Moore voices. "I don't doubt that there is a pebble somewhere in all of this..." He turns back to the others. "This doesn't feel to me like we're just supposed to aimlessly look around. What do you all think?"

He does happen to look down at the necklace to see if is just happening to point him in another direction.

[Anastasia]

It does not.

"If this is like the Beyond?" Jetina ventures at last, "Maybe the trick is that we need to make our own way through the haystack to the needle?"
