The cycle of improvement

[Anastasia]

By any rules you know this isn't normal.

"Guardian," Emily says softly, "Nothing else could ignore the rules of Creation like that."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods faintly.

"Well, it certainly isn't something that we'll ignore. I'll take this as an invitation, so let's go meet our host."

[Anastasia]

Marching order here? It may matter.

[Iron Dragoon]

Eh, let's go with Jarem, me, Bastian, Dolmaya, Honeydip, Emily.

[Anastasia]

You begin to walk down. It's cold but not truly cold. Warmer than it was before as you head down the icy passage.

You're feeling tired. A sharp, deep and mortal sensation.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa frowns, and tries to examine the sensation and determine what's causing it, while mentioning to the others, "Something is... Draining me. I feel tired, like a mortal. I have a suspicion.."

Alyssa sends a mental message to the others, 'Has anyone ever heard of a deities' power being sealed? Like, perhaps... In a holy symbol that's been tampered with?'

[Anastasia]

Jarem yawns instead of answering.

'It's...not...' Emily begins. 'Has to be...Guardian.'

Bastian slows as well, "I'm...tired?" he manages a loud, voice sleepy and confused.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa becomes alarmed and starts dragging the others back, 'Out! Now!'

[Anastasia]

The others begin to move, but - you see the way behind you is gone now, a smooth wall of ice in its place.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa sends out her eyes to scout ahead and turns to Dolmaya and Honeydip, 'Are you alright? Is it only affecting the divine?'

[Anastasia]

Will saves all.

You can't manage it. You slump over instead, words lost as your eyes slide shut. You struggle, instinct against this unnatural happening, but sleep claims you.

When you become aware again, you're warm somewhere. Warm and under a blanket, cozy. Comfortable.

[Iron Dragoon]

Did anyone succeed?

Alyssa opens her eyes slowly, taking stock of where she is.

[Anastasia]

Hard tot ell when you fell so hard, but it wasn't looking so good.

You're in your room at home, back before your apotheosis. The sea breeze wafts in, a sweet smell of fruit with it.
