Moore: Still Going (Moore)

[Anastasia]

Light.

You are blinded by light.

You stumble, unable to see anything from the light.

You struggle against it, able to open your eyes enough to see. The shape of a tomb, glowing incandescently. The beautiful, clear sound of a trumpet sounding a glorious rally is heard, uplifting your spirit.

[Nephrite]

What in the world is going -on- today?

He knows it won't help, but he casts a spell to help him see better anyway. Vision of the Omniscient Eye, CL25

He struggles and pushes himself to fly forward. He has to keep flying forward.

He didn't come back just to fail.

"These things would be a lot easier if you'd just explain them in mundane terms, you know!" Moore shouts at no one in particular. "I could really use a summary version when this is all over!"

He has to keep flying -- he has to keep... going?

[Anastasia]

You see the tomb now. Jetina's tomb.

The door is barred shut with the light. The light that is blinding everything, yet it is beginning to give way.

High in the sky a trumpet archon plays, the source of the beautiful music.

"You've grown wise in understanding the omens and what lies beneath understanding," A voice says. It has no gender, perfectly neutral and without form. "Go to her. It's time."

[Nephrite]

"If you say so." Moore says with a shake of his head.

Nevertheless, he presses onward.

Through the light, to the tomb.

Time for what? Her to wake up?

How is he even going to explain any of this to her? To anyone??

He can't forget again, either way.

[Anastasia]

You walk to the tomb and...

Going to do anything in particular here or what?

[Nephrite]

If whatever is inside is in need of opening, he'll do what he can to help. Otherwise just watch and wait and see what happens.

EDIT: I guess he'd do a Knowledge check if he could on anything here but I have a feeling it's pretty outside of his realm of expertise at all.

[Anastasia]

The tomb's closed, are you going to try and open that then?

[Nephrite]

Oh, sorry, I misinterpreted "starting to give way."

Yes, he's going to try and open it.

[Anastasia]

You touch the tomb door. Immediately the light explodes into full radiance again and you are knocked back. You blink your eyes clear and you see that the door to the tomb is gone. A figure is emerging, stumbling out from it.

"Where...am I? What happened?" You know that voice. Memories slam into you. That voice as your wounds are healed, or when she's talking and laughing with all of you.

[Nephrite]

Moore blinks, then blinks again.

"...What's the last thing you remember?" He starts with.

[Anastasia]

The light fades entirely. It's Jetina. Her armor, her weapon. A faint look of confusion is on her face, "I remember.... I remember.... Light." Jetina finally says.

As you talk, the trumpet archon from above descends down nearby.

[Nephrite]

"It's a really long story, but you're... uh... not there, anymore." Moore explains. "You're currently in Mercuria, the second layer of Mount Celestia." He says.

He takes a breath.

He takes another breath.

He flies over and grabs onto her arm. "I... I'm really glad to see you again." He says.

[Anastasia]

Jetina watches you with a wary look, "...wait. I know you, don't I. You're....you're...I know you, I know that, but I can't remember who you are."

"You know this one, servant of Erathaol?" The trumpet archon approaches.

[Nephrite]

"...We agreed to forget something in order to come back, didn't we?" Moore asks as he turns to look at the trumpet archon. "Yes, I know her." He turns back and smiles at Jetina. "I'm Moore."

[Anastasia]

"Moore! That's it!" Jetina smiles, "That's your name."

"Ah," The archon merely steps back then, "Does the Seer have plans here I should be made aware of? I was going to guide Jetina to her place."
