Rebirth and redemption

[Anastasia]

Thus you all gather with Latha. You all get together and are ready as she says, "Now I'll open the portal. Come back victorious."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods.

"I will."

[Anastasia]

Jarem places a hand on your shoulder, "We'll see you soon," he promises.

Emily takes a breath, "Victorious," she seconds.

"Triumphant," Dolmaya thirds.

Meanwhile Bastian hangs back but adds, "Keep a portal ready for us," he says.

To all this Latha says, "I will pray to Chronias for your victory." Then she extends her hand, a blank white portal before you. This is it. It's time.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Well, this is it. Next time I see all off you, I'll be entirely different. Again. One way or another."

With that, Alyssa heads in!

[Anastasia]

"We are coming," Emily points out as you go. "We can't help, but we can keep the creatures of the Far Realm away from you, if they show up."

Words, but they don't matter.

White. White emptiness. Ahead and forward and up and down and here and forever. Nothingness spreads far and wide, an absence of anything at all. A silent realm, a realm where nothing exists to make noise, or perhaps the concept of sound does not exist. The five of you are the only things here, five little beings of meaning amid endless, infinite forever.

"Form up around Alyssa," Emily says, "Give her space but cover her. Eyes open, don't let anything come and ruin the attempt."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa breathes slowly, focusing her mind on what she has to do and prepares herself.

[Anastasia]

Now.

It is empty.

It is nothing.

White emptiness spreads all around you. It is silent and still. It is not void, it is simply nothing at all.  Unreality that stretches far as you can see and more aside. Like a blank canvas, unpainted and undetailed.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa considers for a moment, then tries to impart her will into the area, imagining her perfect library.

[Anastasia]

Charisma check the first. It begins. Good luck.

It's always been a story told in between the pages of dusty books.

A story that passes through many dust choked roads and worn boot heels.

A story told by the crinkle of old paper and the scratching of quill on page.

A story that travels all the winds of the world, here, there and forever.

A story that faces but one question, one question that echos throughout your being as all becomes dim and faraway. They matter little compared to that one, overwhelming question.

The question looms within you, above you and before you. A question as you drown in the endless white, as reality becomes fractals without form.

A question that hangs in the balance is reality is not reality and Alyssa can only be Alyssa.

Is your story worthy?

Is your story worth a book, or is it trash to be thrown aside, away from the others?

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa shouts defiance! The question itself is foolish!

Every story is worth a book! Each life has experiences to learn from! Places to see and experience! Even the mundane, to learn the value of simple things, to frame the greater!

All of your defiance and learning battle against yourself, battle against everything here. A thousand billion questions rage around you like a storm, drowning you as...

Check number 2. Good luck.

As you stand there, drowning, there is but one factor:

How will you stand against everything?
