“Lets get it over with now, then. The sooner I've cleared myself of this parasite the sooner I can attend to more other matters. Never seems I get a moment of peace, these days. There's always some task looming on the horizon.” As you speak you whip off your cloak and stand, stretching out your limbs and briefly cracking your neck. You lay out the garment flat against the ground, its porous surface faced up.

Your master stands up, wobbles uneasily on his feet for a moment before apparently finding his footing. “Welcome to being an adult, Mikhael. You'll find your life seldom peaceful for quite some time, I'm afraid. Lucky for you, eventually you'll find yourself old and frail and retired with a gaggle of rowdy apprentices to shepherd along the road of life. You'll find yourself endlessly bored for broad stretches of time, reminiscing on the good old days and entertaining yourself however you can. Eventually you'll go just a touch too far and someone will declare you a threat to society, and from there it's off to Pani's sweet embrace.”

He shrugs as he steps up to the edge of your cloak, shaking out his limbs. “So how does this thing work anyway? Just step on in?”

You nod. “Essentially.” You vaguely catch Darzi asking if this is really a good idea before you find yourself falling down, down, ever downward into the unending darkness of the void. Your perception shifts suddenly, your sense of balance thrown off entirely as you find yourself suspended horizontally in mid air by seemingly impossibly strong tentacles, holding you aloft. They glow with a soft light, composed of some strange semi-ethereal essence. Your master falls through a moment later, likewise caught by Ricky's arms.

You can't breath within this realm, so you'll need to be quick. Unfortunately you find yourself faced with an unexpected complication. Besides Ricky himself, standing at the center of your little collection of furniture and belongings, there are four other figures surrounding him. They hover around the same plain wooden table that you last saw Ricky playing cards with corpses, corpses which have since been shoved off to the side. You wonder, absentmindedly, what he's keeping them around for.

You recognize one of the figures, the strange being with two arms which split at the elbows into four. His hands contort in a variety of strange manners at the sight of you, he must have at least four or five joints in each of his eerily long fingers. That strange metallic arrangement of pyramidal caps surrounding a central cube still hovers above his hand, ever twisting and turning on itself. Just looking at it makes your head hurt.

Of the new editions, you have to say you don't like the look of any of them. One is nothing but a skeletal head lacking a lower jaw, where his neck and parts of his chest ought to be there is only a gaping pit of black. He wears a long robe decorated with gold beads and he has, to your count, eight eyes. His teeth are incredibly sharp and his skull seems to have grown out into something almost like a crown. Where a nose ought to lie, there is only a hole.

The other is a wispy figure garbed in a thick, shifting robe. He has one eye covered by some sort of film, and it's little save a black socket. He has two long fangs in his skeletal jaw, and his fingers are sharpened claws which seem made of the void itself. The final guest is a hulking monstrosity with two large, oddly shaped horns and a weird boney protrusion from its chin. Its jaw is twisted into a grotesque, eternal grin and beady little eyes stare at you, its face turned to one side to get a better look. Its head is elongated, and ridged. Its neck thin. As for its body, it appears scrawny and weak and yet moves with a sort of barely contained violence.

Ricky gestures towards the table, and an image fills your thoughts of you laying atop it. Your eyes are closed, and your chest rent open. The five void creatures, Ricky among them, root about your insides. One of them holds up the parasite, you can't see which, and Ricky quickly consumes it.

I honestly wonder if having mortals thrown into Surya's Heart as bait for spirit leeches and then harvesting them is some voidly pastime. Like fishing or something.

>>36651023
He has to get to our soul so there's a possibility that he's not literally opening up our chest cavity. The possibility that he may be doing just that though is a bit disconcerting.

>>36651036
It's a show nigga, it's not getting eaten, it's slipping away into a trap door u der the table while ricky eats a fake one

>>36651062

These are void horrors. I don't think they really understand little things like death and unimaginable pain too well.

You glance to your Master for a moment, who fervently shakes his head. You then promptly ignore him and stride forward. Your Master doesn't know Ricky like you do. The creature is bound to obey your will, If anything he's the one creature you can likely trust without reservations, if only because he's unable to communicate with mortals in a traditional sense and he seems to be bound to the cloak somehow.

You climb onto the table with little difficulty, laying down and making yourself as comfortable as possible. Your lungs are only just beginning to ache from holding your breath, but years of suffering through your master's torment have provided you with enviously large lung capacity. You could likely hold your breath for ten more minutes, at the very least. You're still forced to hope that this 'operation' doesn't take too long.

Ricky's tentacles wrap around your wrist and ankles, stretching your limbs taught and forcing you to hold still. The one with the gaping maw where its neck ought to be drifts forward, its feet never seeming to touch the flat plane of the surface. It reaches down, running a finger down your chest. You'd likely find it a strangely intimate gesture where your flesh not rent open wherever it touched. Oddly, it didn't hurt.

It stops at your belly button, your chest now naught but a gaping wound. Another void creature, the one with the horns, reaches in with both hands and tugs. Your chest is split open in an instant, ribs breaking with a series of sickening crunches to reveal your beating heart and swollen lungs. You're starting to feel a little dizzy, yet you still feel no pain. It's almost as if you're merely an observer in your own body.

>>36651104
You are probably right.

The one hovering in mid air, shadowy tentacles writhing beneath and hands constantly shifting in strange, impossible ways, comes to rest on the table next to you. The pyramidal caps which surround the cube at the center of its strange little device slam together without a sound, and a sphere of glowing light begins to expand from the center of the cube. It quickly envelopes the void creature and yourself, and eventually comes to absorb the entire table and the figures around it. You catch a glimpse of your Master watching, confused and perhaps a touch scared. Magic plays across his finger tips, arcs of lightning sparking erratically between his fingers.

Huh, you didn't know your Master could do that.

The hovering void creature reaches in to your torn open chest cavity and begins to root around. It's an uncomfortable, unpleasant feeling but not truly painful. Merely odd. It grabs hold of something, and you feel a spasm of pain run down your left side. There's a tug, and suddenly the world is on fire.

Borrow our ring? We're an enchanter! It's the least we could do to make him a copy of the ring before we leave!

>>36651342
Are you sure that that's what the void creatures were doing?

>>36651342
You realize you're asking why the parasite is making its own removal more difficult?

>>36651354
We gotta study it first, or at least copy the runes on it.

>>36651393
Which will require learning the magnification skill on top of all the enchanting stuff, so if we wanted to copy the ring we'd spend at least a thread here

That's a loat of goats we'd be buying for Ricky and his friends...

>>36651354
I wanted to use the parasite for that actually, as is we need to make a magnification tool to view the runes on the ring and find a soul strong enough to power it. (our or someone else's I'm assuming.)

>>36651393

Sounds like something to do while we're recovering and everyone else is getting the supplies we need for our trip.

>>36651411

I'm sure our master will have a way to magnify the runes if we ask him, and if not, there is no way that skull kid doesn't have a method. It wouldn't take a whole thread, maybe half a thread at most, and the results... completely worth it.

We should've invited Rasim to watch!
It would've been highly educational.

>>36651499
I am pretty sure SK has magnification as part of his helmets optics. Not sure if he could reproduce the runes correctly for us though. Fire based magnification probably wouldn't be too difficult for us at our current level however.

>>36651499
We need to make the technique anyway, and we got +1 vys for it.

>>36651420
I think Permanency needs a piece of OUR soul, not from a different source. And even if it doesn't, I don't think using a void parasite as the most important ingredient will be a good idea.

I think our master might rethink his training methods after watching this. I mean, he's looking at Mik take having his insides scooped out like it's nothing. I'm guessing that he's going to have a little more appreciation for more gentle approaches after this.

>>36651662

The pain is blinding, and you feel your consciousness fading as that pulling, tugging, ripping sensation persist. Then there's a snap, and something comes free. Golden strands of... something drift weightlessly through the void, a chunk of the same material held within the parasite's insectile pincers. For the life of you, you can't figure out what the hell it might be. Then there's a sound like a tree branch snapping and the chunk rips free of the creature's mouth, slowly drifting back towards you along with its adrift brethren.

Slowly, your memory returns. Your soul, the spirit was latched to your soul. Though you suppose it is no longer. As it attempts to wriggle free of the strange hovering creature's fingers, the glow emanating from the cube suddenly vanishes, the pyramidal capstones returning to their positions hovering around the surface of the cube rather than attached to it. The little wriggling spirit remains, you can't help but wonder what the purpose of that little device is.

The hovering creature hands the spirit over to Ricky, who snatches it up in his tentacles and raises it towards his blank face. Before your very eyes the plate of chitinous armor parts, revealing a hard beak stretching forth from within. It yawns wide and in a moment Ricky has swallowed the spirit whole. You can hear it shrieking even as the chitinous mask seals itself once more, mouth receding into his face.

You've no earthly idea what just happened. Ricky seems no different. He's just standing there, looking at you. The others seem to have lost interest. The one with the gaping maw has already vanished, while the horned one is stalking off into the darkness well beyond the light given off by the rend your cloak tears in the fabric of the void. The floating one makes some strange hand gestures at Ricky and then vanishes immediately afterwards.

>>36651981

You know you want to stay awake for this! Drink some coffee! And thanks.

In an instant Ricky's tentacles have coiled around your torso and your Master's legs. Your Master discharges his spell in a panic, a flash of lightning briefly casting the void into stark, white, contrast. Then it's gone. Ricky seems none the worse for wear, in fact if anything he seems to be stronger than before. He carries both of you to the gateway that represents your cloak and then forces you out, one at a time. First your Master, and then you.

Ah, there's the pain you've been expecting this whole time. A scream rips from your throat as you once more pass into the familiar realm of reality, chest still gaping open. You can see your heart beating at a rapid, desperate pace, the sound seeming to fill the room. Rasim feints, hitting the floor with an unceremonious thud. Chrys seems frozen in place, as does Prof. Both stare at you wide eyed. Darzi curses under her breath and begins to collect her vys for a spell, presumably to heal you. Your master is quickly climbing to his knees to do the same. Meanwhile, Skull Kid looks terribly confused but not overly unsettled and Mortia looks like she's going to vomit all over your Master's nice flagstone tile floors.

Most bachelors stuff you can fail a class you need for the degree you are getting and just retake it. It might extend the time it takes to get the degree but that's all. Unless it drops your GPA low enough that the department kicks you out or something.

that guys mask is real familiar.

You channel a surge of magic, probably far more than you really need to. Your ribs snap back into place loudly, sealing themselves back together. Your lungs and a number of major arteries torn whilst that creature rooted about in your torso reuniting or otherwise repairing themselves. The pain subsides, rapidly once your ribs are no longer shattered. As the flaps of skin that cover your chest slide back into place and seal themselves together once more, the pain is gone entirely.
>Vys Pool: (27/41)

You lay there for a moment, just breathing deeply and relishing the feeling of air in your lungs. Your heart rate slows gradually, eventually returning to its usual pace. You push yourself into a sitting position after a fashion, rubbing at the spot on your chest where the gash once rent your torso open. “Well, that was an experience.”

Your Master claps you on the shoulder, taking a moment to struggle to his feet and hobble back to his pillows. He plops down unceremoniously, scooping up the hose of his hookah pipe and taking a long drag from the silver mouthpiece. After he's exhaled a broad cloud of sweet smelling blue smoke from his nostrils, he speaks. “In Pani's name, Mik. What was all that? I'm hardly a stranger to the void but I can't recall ever seeing anything more intelligent than your average Long Neck out there stalking the emptiness. You leave my sight for a month come back with all sorts of trouble.”

He shakes his head. “Though I must admit, I am impressed. Takes a lot of guts to lay your life on the line like that, trusting void creatures. Thought they'd cut your head open and eat your brains or some such. Startin' to think they might have, considering you'd have to be either an idiot or a madman to let them rip your chest open like that.”

He takes another long drag, during which Darzi seizes upon the opportunity to speak. “What on Earth happened in there, Mikhael? You walk in happy as can be and come out screaming bloody murder with your chest torn open and you don't even seem that upset about it!”

You shrug your shoulders, manifesting a cup of ice and some cold water in front of Mortia so she can calm her stomach. She jumps, but only slightly, before taking the cup and raising it to her lips gratefully. Don't want her puking on anything. While doing so, you simultaneously launch into a brief tirade about what you saw and what happened, bringing your companions and your Master up to date on what exactly you think happened.

Ricky had one of his associates rip the parasite from your soul using the aid of some strange artifact and their natural talents. Ricky then ate the spirit, putting an end to it. However, in the process some of your soul was ripped away from you. Fortunately, you managed to recover it before it was lost forever.

Profectus seems to have recovered enough from his initial shock to comment. “Shit, Mik. That sounds far more dangerous than necessary.” You shrug, opening your mouth to speak, but he holds up a hand to stop you. “Look, I'm not going to argue with you. I've barely got any idea what you just said really, but at least now that this is over take a break from the life-risking for a little while.”

(2/3)

Sound advice, all things considered, and you note Chrys nodding along. Ironic, since the next thing on your to do list once you finish everything you need to in El-Amin is to kill her husband, likely a dangerous task she asked of you. You dispel the thought, and return your attention to the present. Your Master is addressing you.

“So now that we've gotten your parasite dealt with, what's your plan? Personally, I think that's about all the excitement my old heart can take today. That lesson you owe me might need to wait. Can't believe that spell just rolled right off the critter. Y'know, I spent ages perfecting that technique, easiest way to shoot lightning from your fingertips I've come across. Didn't seem to do squat.” He shakes his head, muttering something to himself. He really seems quite bothered by it, you've no doubt he'll spend the next few weeks trying to improve his method.

For everyone thinking about taking the Grandmastery exam, you know we haven't been officially unbanished, right? We've merely been allowed to pass freely should we be stopped. The whole name struck from the records and nobility torn away thing is still in place.

I still wonder how that heart got into that office desk and what happen to the bandit leader while he was down there? I mean he was able to wreak our crew all on his own.

You lean your head back, staring up at the ceiling. You've got a lot you want to do, but you can't escape this niggling feeling in your gut that you've let your parents worry long enough. Even if your Master told them you were alive and had visited, you've no doubt that only made them wish to see you more. Even if some of your siblings aren't thrilled by your return and pending unbanishment, you owe it to your parents and older brother to visit.

“I believe I will visit my family estate, and say hello to my parents.” You right yourself, resting your elbows on your knees and focusing your attention on your party. “You can feel free to do as you wish, I think we've all earned a little rest and relaxation after that long journey. If any of you would like, you may accompany me to visit my parents. However, you are by no means obligated to do so.”

Darzi raises an eyebrow. “I suppose it might be interesting to see how you nobles live, I suppose I'll tag along. At the very least there ought to be a meal in it for me, yes?” You nod, your family's cooks are quite skilled assuming nothing's changed in the last year or two. You must admit, you were never very good about visiting home.

Profectus shakes his head. “Well, that's all well and good but I believe I'll find a nice bar by the docks where they won't look at me funny for being pale.”

Skull Kid nods his head in agreement. “I think I'll join him, I could use a stiff drink. I gotta say that wine they served at the temple was weak as piss. Couldn't get drunk on that swill if I downed a whole bottle.” You wrinkle your nose. To think, he'd prefer that explosive mixture they called alcohol in his home dimension. Well, that's none of your business.

Mortia clears her throat. “If it's not too much trouble, I believe I will stay here. I have some questions for Master-” She glances to your old Master, a questioning look plain on her face.

“Karim-” He provides “-and I'm sorry to say lass, but I can't bed a human. I'm under enough scrutiny as is after that prank last year when I lit that pompous ass Attar on fire.” Gods, you remember that incident. You'd never seen a battle of such magnitude. They ended up leveling an entire farm and having to pay the damages. It was terrible. All over some petty squabble. “You'll have to get your jollies off somewhere else.”

You've never quite seen Mortia quite this shade of red. She seems simultaneously angry, embarrassed, and confused. She practically shouts at your master. “Listen here you accursed knife-ear! You know that isn't what I meant, I just wish to learn a bit more about the area-”

Your master cuts in with a wicked grin. “Yes, the area around my crotch mayhaps.”

You cut in before it can come to blows. “Master, please. She doesn't quite understand your sense of humor as of yet. Besides, we all know you prefer goats to begin with. Just leave her be.”

Your master wags a finger at you scoldingly. “That was a low blow, Mikhael. A low, low blow. Fine, then. I'll lecture her about whatever it is she wishes to know. No problem of mine.”

Chrys clears her throat once the little argument seems to have subsided. “I believe I shall stay here and study. I have several books which I am still reading and I do not wish to risk your parent's disapproval.”

Huh, that strikes you as a surprise. You expected her to jump on the opportunity to meet your folks. You note with some mild amusement that she's a bit more fidgety than usual, she's probably just nervous. It's not as if introducing a woman to one's parents is a particularly romantic gesture, more friendly than it is anything else. You suppose it's not really your problem.

“Profectus, if only you were as studious as Chrys. Ah, how easy my life would be then. No need to nag a lazy pupil into doing as I ask.” He glowers at you, but doesn't rise to the bait. A shame.

Fulvia has not spoken, and does not seem inclined to. You push yourself ungracefully to your feet and stretch out your aching limbs. Maybe it's just because you're starting to run low on vys, but your arms burn terribly. You know nothing is wrong, but you dull the pain regardless.

Darzi in tow you make your way down the stairs, having finished saying your goodbyes to the group. Zahak comes plodding along after you. Even as you pause in front of the bath and take a moment to urge the steaming water from the pool so that you can use it to wash the blood and trail dust off your clothing and yourself, Zahak seeks to mimic you. First, he launches a blast of flame from his gullet at the water. Instantly a great burst of steam billows from the pool, filling the room. Finding himself unsuccessful, in his attempts to control water with fire, he simply leaps into the now boiling hot water.

Once you've finished giving yourself a thorough, if brief, bath you turn your attention to Zahak. You need to decide whether to leave him here or take him with you.

It was made pretty clear that it wasn't a full unbanishment during our conversation with Kadir. But it goes a little beyond that too.
He had asked us not to make waves about being apparently unbanished until his situation had settled down.
What exactly is walking into the foyer of the royal palace in search of a test of Grand Mastery and saying that its alright because we've got it in writing from the Shah himself that we're an Aghtak that should not be detained, and therefore are magically a Vatis eligible for a grandmastery test by way of El-Amins royal palace? It's getting attention and making waves.

If he wants to go then let him go! Make sure that he understands though that he's got to stay hidden until we tell him it's ok to come out. It could be dangerous if he pops out too soon, and he's got to understand that.

Play with him now, maybe show him some water magic.

I don't think our family will appreciate a dragon in their home without warning. They aren't used to insanity like we are.
