WEBVTT 00:00:04.330 --> 00:01:02.719 Crack sky Smoking As we come back, we are not 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.599 instead coming to see our players. We are coming 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.319 to see something different. And so, I'm going 00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.859 to go through the order. And we're going to walk 00:01:13.859 --> 00:01:17.040 through and see the other half. The other side. 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:22.739 This World of Magic's version of our character's 00:01:22.739 --> 00:01:28.780 soul. As there is a copy of us. In every universe. 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:33.079 And every dimension. But when two collide. And 00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:37.959 merge. They either exist simultaneously. In one 00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:42.180 body. Or one of them is destroyed. Let's see 00:01:42.180 --> 00:01:48.599 who may. Be destroyed. Or be consumed. We're 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.560 going to move over. Let's start with Arden. Arden. 00:01:53.659 --> 00:01:57.159 Oh why? Because you're first up on. You're first 00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.620 up on it. The rest of you, please darken your 00:01:59.620 --> 00:02:07.219 cameras. Darken? Darken them. So, Arden, this 00:02:07.219 --> 00:02:12.460 takes us through what we see, and the last moment 00:02:12.460 --> 00:02:16.740 of this person, or at least in this person's 00:02:16.740 --> 00:02:20.979 world that they remember before they are... Their 00:02:20.979 --> 00:02:29.930 soul is then fused with your soul. so the audience 00:02:29.930 --> 00:02:44.310 would see a um rather uh it's almost like arden's 00:02:44.310 --> 00:02:49.610 other half is is just a bulkier version of her 00:02:49.610 --> 00:02:57.740 herself um taller a little more muscular um Her 00:02:57.740 --> 00:03:08.319 hair is longer, a little more wild. And she is 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:16.960 kind of like drifting through the hallway of 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:23.659 a nobleman's mansion. She's sticking to the shadows 00:03:23.659 --> 00:03:32.039 and seems to be keeping an ear out for just information 00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:45.520 in general um she's here because she's been hired 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:52.219 to um she's been hired by this nobleman's wife 00:03:52.219 --> 00:03:58.479 to figure out if he's cheating on her And so 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:06.199 she's kind of been brought into the home as the 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:15.419 wife's handmaiden, sort of. So she's just kind 00:04:15.419 --> 00:04:21.800 of wandering, keeping an ear out, and listening 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:33.449 for things. what else to say she's she's a college 00:04:33.449 --> 00:04:39.029 of whispers bard so this is also their last moment 00:04:39.029 --> 00:04:42.509 before the worlds are ripped up or basically 00:04:42.509 --> 00:04:47.990 ripped open to each other what when that happens 00:04:47.990 --> 00:04:50.610 as i'm going to give you kind of a prompt as 00:04:50.610 --> 00:04:53.290 she's walking through the halls kind of monitoring 00:04:53.290 --> 00:04:57.449 keeping an eye out doing almost Bodyguard work 00:04:57.449 --> 00:05:02.170 at the same time as this other momentary job. 00:05:03.550 --> 00:05:07.990 Suddenly there is a loud crack of lightning outside. 00:05:08.689 --> 00:05:13.050 However, it is followed by harsh winds. And as 00:05:13.050 --> 00:05:16.750 she looks out the window, she sees a massive 00:05:16.750 --> 00:05:21.769 vortex in the sky rip open. And parts of this 00:05:21.769 --> 00:05:25.490 building that she is patrolling is ripped into 00:05:25.490 --> 00:05:28.920 it. She watches as the charge that she was put 00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:34.779 in charge of is sucked away. People are panicking. 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:40.779 And then suddenly she begins to get pulled as 00:05:40.779 --> 00:05:51.459 well. Well, she doesn't really care that she 00:05:51.459 --> 00:05:54.720 is actually getting pulled into this. Her eyes 00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:58.779 are actually on her charge. And she is trying 00:05:58.779 --> 00:06:02.519 to figure out a way to kind of I don't know, 00:06:02.579 --> 00:06:05.740 I guess bounce from the debris to get to them. 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.180 She's not really worried about herself. Give 00:06:10.180 --> 00:06:15.000 me an acrobatics. Yep, give me an acrobatics. 00:06:16.579 --> 00:06:21.139 Okay. Ironically, she's not great at this. That's 00:06:21.139 --> 00:06:28.980 a six. It's hard to do. And now she is going 00:06:28.980 --> 00:06:34.480 to take bits of damage as she moves across. And 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:38.399 the sole thing that she can rely on now is her 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.740 strength. So give me an athletics to see if you 00:06:40.740 --> 00:06:45.319 can force yourself from one to another. I'm just 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:54.129 going to say that I am good at. 26. So, you are 00:06:54.129 --> 00:06:59.009 not smooth with this. As you jump from one bit 00:06:59.009 --> 00:07:01.970 of rock rubble, you slam into another wall, kind 00:07:01.970 --> 00:07:04.709 of haphazardly launching yourself from one area 00:07:04.709 --> 00:07:08.610 to the next. Oh, she's digging her claws into 00:07:08.610 --> 00:07:12.129 these to stop herself from sliding down before 00:07:12.129 --> 00:07:16.290 launching. So, yeah, it's very messy. And you 00:07:16.290 --> 00:07:22.360 do make it. Her charge seems to be unconscious. 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:25.699 It must have been hit. She has quite the goose 00:07:25.699 --> 00:07:28.439 egg bit of blood coming from her head. But you 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:32.220 are now realizing that you are good 200, 300 00:07:32.220 --> 00:07:35.620 feet in the air being sucked vertically. Straight 00:07:35.620 --> 00:07:56.670 up. Shit. Yeah. At this point, she's just kind 00:07:56.670 --> 00:08:00.269 of going to curl herself around her charge and 00:08:00.269 --> 00:08:07.769 hope that her charge survives whatever is happening. 00:08:08.970 --> 00:08:13.389 And as you are being sucked towards the vortex, 00:08:13.889 --> 00:08:17.689 as you come close, it is black. Endless void. 00:08:19.310 --> 00:08:21.850 The only time you've ever seen something so dark 00:08:21.850 --> 00:08:25.990 is when you've run into Graviturge. wizards and 00:08:25.990 --> 00:08:30.029 their black holes they create it is just so dense 00:08:30.029 --> 00:08:33.049 and cold as you get so close to it begins to 00:08:33.049 --> 00:08:37.190 slow down and it almost becomes reflective as 00:08:37.190 --> 00:08:40.029 you can see another being that looks extremely 00:08:40.029 --> 00:08:44.450 similar to yourself almost coming from the other 00:08:44.450 --> 00:08:49.830 side at you but they are unconscious as well 00:08:58.649 --> 00:09:03.509 You can see that you're about to breach the kind 00:09:03.509 --> 00:09:08.750 of barrier, but as you do, as you get closer, 00:09:08.830 --> 00:09:11.889 this other being slips through the barrier first 00:09:11.889 --> 00:09:16.730 and is plummeting past you. Something in you 00:09:16.730 --> 00:09:20.629 tells you to not let that happen. Oh, no, I'm 00:09:20.629 --> 00:09:26.580 immediately launching myself for them. And as 00:09:26.580 --> 00:09:32.480 you do, you forget your charge to save this other 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:37.360 person. And when you collide, there is a bright 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:51.679 flash. And that's when you, Arden, wake up in 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:56.460 the generator's lab. But now, we'll move to the 00:09:56.460 --> 00:10:07.320 next person. Hezekiah! It is your turn. What 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:12.240 is... Let's see the moment before and during 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:17.519 Hezekiah's other side, other soul, copy, duplicate, 00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:22.440 doppelganger, other dimensional self, however 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:25.320 you want to say it or see it. Let's see them. 00:10:26.860 --> 00:10:38.779 And their last day as them. Yeah, so... Hezekiah's 00:10:38.779 --> 00:10:54.269 other self has been... similar to him. studying 00:10:54.269 --> 00:11:03.049 magic, focus, but looks a lot like Hezekiah and 00:11:03.049 --> 00:11:10.529 has been seeing different versions of the same 00:11:10.529 --> 00:11:22.429 person repeatedly time and time again. And that 00:11:22.429 --> 00:11:29.429 last day is something that's been building and 00:11:29.429 --> 00:11:38.509 he's been trying to prevent it for years and 00:11:38.509 --> 00:11:54.799 nothing seems to have worked. And as you are 00:11:54.799 --> 00:12:00.159 standing where you may be standing, the day that 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.940 you knew that it would come, you're looking up 00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:08.799 at the sky almost waiting in anticipation of 00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.259 the very event that you have failed to prevent. 00:12:12.899 --> 00:12:16.940 Not sure exactly to why, but you know it has 00:12:16.940 --> 00:12:22.360 something to do with powerful, evil beings of 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:29.299 your world. One of them being a being that your 00:12:29.299 --> 00:12:33.779 world and yourself have had a few run -ins with. 00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:42.679 Asmodeus. The lord of the hells. And you, in 00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:47.360 your time, have had your dealings with this individual. 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.490 You've had to prevent his plots before but this 00:12:52.490 --> 00:12:57.590 time it's different he didn't do it alone you 00:12:57.590 --> 00:13:03.490 never quite figured out who the others were but 00:13:03.490 --> 00:13:07.110 it was strange that he would work with somebody 00:13:07.110 --> 00:13:11.529 in the first place and you watch the sky rip 00:13:11.529 --> 00:13:15.659 open The lightning striking, the buildings being 00:13:15.659 --> 00:13:19.480 ripped away, people being sucked into the black 00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:21.980 void. If they aren't, they're ripped in half. 00:13:23.299 --> 00:13:26.840 Monsters and the like. And you watch as yourself 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.820 has the ability to see the weave. You watch as 00:13:30.820 --> 00:13:34.259 the very magical weave, the force that flows 00:13:34.259 --> 00:13:36.899 through all things is being sucked into this 00:13:36.899 --> 00:13:39.940 void as well. And on the other side, you see 00:13:39.940 --> 00:13:44.779 another planet. Looks similar in nature to yours. 00:13:45.500 --> 00:13:52.899 Big blue and green marble. But you know it is 00:13:52.899 --> 00:13:59.740 to be different. You, for a moment, see another 00:13:59.740 --> 00:14:02.840 version of yourself standing next to you. But 00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:07.620 this version is confused. Is lost. And they look 00:14:07.620 --> 00:14:10.820 to be wearing different clothing. And then... 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.240 Suddenly they look like they've seen something 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:18.580 explode. And they launch out of sight. And then 00:14:18.580 --> 00:14:21.820 you see them sleep. Knocked unconscious against 00:14:21.820 --> 00:14:27.059 something. You begin to feel yourself and them 00:14:27.059 --> 00:14:36.179 being pulled into the void. Does this version 00:14:36.179 --> 00:14:40.830 of Hezekiah know what this means? Does this version 00:14:40.830 --> 00:14:44.210 know who that might be? Or what that might be? 00:14:50.330 --> 00:14:58.029 This version has seen multiple ways this could 00:14:58.029 --> 00:15:01.289 turn out. So he'll take that path this time. 00:15:03.029 --> 00:15:05.490 What does that look like when this Hezekiah takes 00:15:05.490 --> 00:15:14.659 that path? This Hezekiah has much less physical 00:15:14.659 --> 00:15:19.360 shape and form than the one in this real world. 00:15:19.539 --> 00:15:28.240 So you'll see that the current physical Hezekiah's 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:33.360 being starts to shift a little bit as he phases 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:36.559 into it, and some of that physicality disappears 00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:41.309 a little bit as well. And as Hezekiah does this, 00:15:41.450 --> 00:15:46.210 there is a bright flash. And this is when Hezekiah 00:15:46.210 --> 00:15:52.830 awakens as well in our world. And we'll move 00:15:52.830 --> 00:16:01.690 on to the next person. Maxwell Donahue. Oh, I 00:16:01.690 --> 00:16:04.629 thought my man. Hi, everybody. Are you ready 00:16:04.629 --> 00:16:07.850 to explain to me the end of the world? Yeah. 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:11.740 You said that, and thunder peeled outside. We're 00:16:11.740 --> 00:16:15.000 about to get laid on. That was... Oh, that was 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:20.659 beautiful. Okay. Alright. So, go forth. Explain 00:16:20.659 --> 00:16:24.539 the other side of Max, the other soul, the other 00:16:24.539 --> 00:16:29.059 dimensional self, and their last day before the 00:16:29.059 --> 00:16:38.139 rip and the thunder. It is... Kind of a run -down 00:16:38.139 --> 00:16:46.940 slum. Dusty dirt road, shanties, stuff like that 00:16:46.940 --> 00:16:54.460 on the outskirts of a large, very obviously magically 00:16:54.460 --> 00:17:04.180 gifted city. And you see this tiefling with kind 00:17:04.180 --> 00:17:12.579 of pale blue skin. ram's horns, piercing green 00:17:12.579 --> 00:17:18.759 eyes, and kind of a thick black beard with streaks 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:27.720 of gray. He's a little bit older than he actually 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:31.740 looks. And he's walking through the streets as 00:17:31.740 --> 00:17:36.190 people around him are panicking and bolts of 00:17:36.190 --> 00:17:40.009 magic are flying around there is a battle going 00:17:40.009 --> 00:17:46.430 on around him he removes a duster and kind of 00:17:46.430 --> 00:17:53.150 cracks his neck and he looks at one of the mages 00:17:53.150 --> 00:17:55.490 that is locked in this battle and they just kind 00:17:55.490 --> 00:17:59.430 of look at him giving him a worried look and 00:17:59.430 --> 00:18:04.109 he just kind of smiles and nods and gives a little 00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:08.500 two -finger salute as he turns and looks at the 00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:14.220 people that they are fighting against. Cloaks, 00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:18.039 hoods, kind of nondescript cultists that he's 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:21.500 dealt with in some way, shape, or form dozens 00:18:21.500 --> 00:18:26.940 of times before. He levels a hand out to the 00:18:26.940 --> 00:18:31.059 closest one as a spike of bone erupts from his 00:18:31.059 --> 00:18:34.430 wrist. and hits this cultist directly between 00:18:34.430 --> 00:18:37.710 the eyes and drops him. He begins to walk down 00:18:37.710 --> 00:18:42.430 the street as he's just doing pretty much the 00:18:42.430 --> 00:18:46.490 same thing, rinse and repeat, whack, whack, whack. 00:18:48.130 --> 00:18:52.930 As he makes his way into the front line of this 00:18:52.930 --> 00:18:59.130 fight, the entire street kind of begins to glow 00:18:59.130 --> 00:19:04.609 blue as... One of these buildings kind of off 00:19:04.609 --> 00:19:11.890 in the distance shatters. And the vortex that 00:19:11.890 --> 00:19:16.829 you described begins to form. And he just kind 00:19:16.829 --> 00:19:19.289 of looks up at this vortex, closes his eyes, 00:19:19.309 --> 00:19:22.930 and just kind of smiles. He's like, finally. 00:19:24.450 --> 00:19:29.829 And he begins to make a beeline towards that 00:19:29.829 --> 00:19:38.180 vortex. cutting down basically anyone who tries 00:19:38.180 --> 00:19:43.259 to fight him as he passes cultists pretty much 00:19:43.259 --> 00:19:47.940 but we still see like those spikes of bone he 00:19:47.940 --> 00:19:53.039 moves kind of like an old west gunslinger even 00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:55.460 though that's not at all what he is that's just 00:19:55.460 --> 00:20:01.660 how he's become acclimated to fighting for As 00:20:01.660 --> 00:20:09.539 long as he's been around. Very well. And as you 00:20:09.539 --> 00:20:13.839 get closer to the vortex. It is very high up. 00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:19.279 And as you reach that area. Where the vortex 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:22.240 sits almost directly above. You can see in the 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.299 distance. A person leaping from rubble to rubble. 00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:30.690 And then a person falling. And I'm leaping into 00:20:30.690 --> 00:20:33.089 it and then they just, with a flash of light, 00:20:33.190 --> 00:20:37.369 dissipate. They're gone. And as that happens, 00:20:37.650 --> 00:20:41.750 suddenly your vision starts to blur. You start 00:20:41.750 --> 00:20:45.470 to sidestep. You start to stumble. You still 00:20:45.470 --> 00:20:48.549 kill where you need to, but it's almost as if 00:20:48.549 --> 00:20:51.609 you're doing it drunk. And as you get closer 00:20:51.609 --> 00:20:54.849 and closer to this area, your body starts to 00:20:54.849 --> 00:20:59.400 shift and change. Then suddenly you are hit by 00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:03.279 a blast of energy and you fall backwards, but 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:05.940 there is another man standing where you were, 00:21:06.099 --> 00:21:12.500 wearing strange clothing. However, he is weaving 00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:16.000 back and forth, kind of dizzied, and then collapses 00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:19.019 upon the ground. One of the cultists are approaching, 00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.940 looks down, doesn't seem surprised by this at 00:21:22.940 --> 00:21:27.019 all, almost seems expecting it. And begins to 00:21:27.019 --> 00:21:31.640 cast a spell. Which you know is an attack spell. 00:21:32.420 --> 00:21:37.680 You know that it is a. Basically a necromantic 00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:42.680 leech spell. Like a life leeching spell. Along 00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:47.519 with. They have a device. A cage. And you've 00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:51.920 seen this before. You know that the other cultists 00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:54.960 you have investigated have had similar cages 00:21:54.960 --> 00:22:00.059 and they hold souls. And this cultist is bending 00:22:00.059 --> 00:22:05.500 down to kill this man that came out of you and 00:22:05.500 --> 00:22:11.799 take his soul. I reach up with one of my arms 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:16.579 and I fire another bone bolt into this guy's 00:22:16.579 --> 00:22:19.900 chest. Force myself up to my feet and I'm stumbling 00:22:19.900 --> 00:22:23.160 towards him. I'm just again, again, and again, 00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:29.259 and again. And as he hits the ground, I stand 00:22:29.259 --> 00:22:33.740 over him. And the last thing I see before my 00:22:33.740 --> 00:22:36.880 vision goes black is me just drilling him right 00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:42.319 between the eyes. Very well. And as that happens, 00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:47.150 the last thing you feel before you do that. And 00:22:47.150 --> 00:22:51.190 your vision goes black. You hit this person one 00:22:51.190 --> 00:22:53.109 last time, your vision goes black, and you feel 00:22:53.109 --> 00:22:59.230 yourself falling. And then the feeling of extreme 00:22:59.230 --> 00:23:07.130 heat. And then black. Endless falling. Endless 00:23:07.130 --> 00:23:14.910 cold. Endless nothingness. Until Maxwell's eyes 00:23:14.910 --> 00:23:21.500 open up. in elias's chamber and we'll move to 00:23:21.500 --> 00:23:32.640 evelyn evelyn you know the drill and i am prepared 00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:44.140 uh i had time to prepare okay so In a strange, 00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:48.579 barren world, black skies stretch overhead, while 00:23:48.579 --> 00:23:53.339 below are plains of cracked gray land, intimidating 00:23:53.339 --> 00:23:59.440 mountains, and forests of dead trees. In a dry 00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:03.460 valley between two imposing mountains, a lone 00:24:03.460 --> 00:24:07.039 individual walks with a flock of ravens soaring 00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:11.559 overhead. She wears cleric robes of light gray 00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:15.259 and black, with a cloak that appears to be made 00:24:15.259 --> 00:24:21.240 out of raving feathers. Her skin is gray, her 00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:25.259 hair is stark white, and her eyes are black, 00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:31.000 entirely black. She walks alone through the valley, 00:24:31.099 --> 00:24:33.720 where the magical surge at the end of the valley. 00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:38.420 A stale wind screams through the valley and tears 00:24:38.420 --> 00:24:41.720 at the ropes, but she presses on, unhindered 00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:46.279 and determined. She has never seen a fracture 00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:49.619 of magic like this, but she knows it is Ron. 00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:54.759 The Raven Queen taught her as much. It's powerful 00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:58.839 and it is too late to call or wait for help. 00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:04.279 She must do something. The cleric comes to stand 00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:06.640 at the base of this fracture and look up at the 00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:09.740 purple lightning that is attempting to tear a 00:25:09.740 --> 00:25:14.019 hole in reality. This cannot be allowed. And 00:25:14.019 --> 00:25:17.859 so the cleric bows her head in praise. Queen 00:25:17.859 --> 00:25:20.880 of Ravens, give me the strength to do what I 00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:24.900 must. And should it take all that I have, may 00:25:24.900 --> 00:25:28.440 you be pleased with my service to you. And then 00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:30.779 she reaches her hands out toward this vortex. 00:25:31.980 --> 00:25:35.319 And at her feet, a pool of shadows begin to gather, 00:25:35.500 --> 00:25:39.660 then crawl their way up her. Then, like thin 00:25:39.660 --> 00:25:43.779 tendrils, she wheels their shadows forward to 00:25:43.779 --> 00:25:47.819 the surge, to stitch it shut. As soon as her 00:25:47.819 --> 00:25:51.740 shadows connect the lightning, she feels a jolt 00:25:51.740 --> 00:25:55.579 of the strange magic as she focuses. She must 00:25:55.579 --> 00:26:00.339 mend the wound in this reality. She must close 00:26:00.339 --> 00:26:04.220 it. Her shadows and the lightning duel, each 00:26:04.220 --> 00:26:07.279 trying to get the upper hand, and a sudden surge 00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:10.259 of the strange power strikes at her, causing 00:26:10.259 --> 00:26:13.599 her to cry out and take a knee. Her hands still 00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:19.019 stretched out. She has to try, but she feels 00:26:19.019 --> 00:26:24.859 her shadows are barely able to do anything. She 00:26:24.859 --> 00:26:28.339 realizes she needs to do something more, offer 00:26:28.339 --> 00:26:32.289 something powerful. And she closes her eyes. 00:26:34.710 --> 00:26:39.089 Queen of the shadows, accept my sacrifice. May 00:26:39.089 --> 00:26:42.829 this realm be safe. And she lowers her hands 00:26:42.829 --> 00:26:47.589 and forces herself to her feet. And she heads 00:26:47.589 --> 00:26:51.509 straight for the search. If she can pour awful 00:26:51.509 --> 00:26:55.009 power and her own soul into it, maybe that will 00:26:55.009 --> 00:26:59.150 be enough to close it. She closes her eyes. She 00:26:59.150 --> 00:27:02.160 feels the lightning Dancing across her body. 00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:09.380 And then she steps through. And suddenly, Evelyn 00:27:09.380 --> 00:27:14.799 wakes. Finds herself in the void. A vast space 00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:19.880 of emptiness. There is no one. Nothing. She is 00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:23.039 alone. The last thing she remembers is trying 00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:26.799 to get Elias and then falling. What happened? 00:27:27.180 --> 00:27:31.329 Where is she? She stands and looks around. She 00:27:31.329 --> 00:27:34.690 realizes the floor is extremely shallow black 00:27:34.690 --> 00:27:38.269 water. And all around her, though it is darkness, 00:27:38.569 --> 00:27:42.470 there is a vastness as if everything is so small 00:27:42.470 --> 00:27:51.470 and so far away. Where is she? As you find yourself 00:27:51.470 --> 00:27:57.849 in this realm, the sounds of wings can be heard 00:27:57.849 --> 00:28:01.599 echoing through. Like the sounds you would hear 00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:05.920 in a silent, burned forest when crows and ravens 00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:14.019 take flight. A massive, probably two to three 00:28:14.019 --> 00:28:20.559 story tall raven lands and then takes form as 00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:31.900 a woman. She approaches you. Do you understand 00:28:31.900 --> 00:28:35.400 where you are? Or are you lost and confused? 00:28:37.740 --> 00:28:48.380 I am lost and confused. Who are you? The representation 00:28:48.380 --> 00:28:51.960 that I am in your world, there are very little 00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:58.500 to represent myself. I know very little of the 00:28:58.500 --> 00:29:01.829 world you come from, but I guess god is a term 00:29:01.829 --> 00:29:15.970 used in both i am a god all right and you are 00:29:15.970 --> 00:29:21.190 in my realm momentarily of course it must have 00:29:21.190 --> 00:29:25.710 been due to the connection that your soul has 00:29:25.710 --> 00:29:32.829 with this realm's version of you I am very confused. 00:29:33.849 --> 00:29:38.589 Whatever you did on your side of our dimensions, 00:29:38.849 --> 00:29:47.589 whatever your people did aided in a plot of evil 00:29:47.589 --> 00:29:51.769 on our side to rip two worlds apart and fuse 00:29:51.769 --> 00:29:56.349 them together, creating a new. This world would 00:29:56.349 --> 00:29:59.109 have no leaders, and so they will take that leadership. 00:29:59.740 --> 00:30:02.160 And the world will be drenched in darkness forever. 00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:10.579 I didn't mean for that to happen. We were only 00:30:10.579 --> 00:30:16.059 trying to help people. Give them a better life. 00:30:16.299 --> 00:30:20.079 I do believe from the connection that I am getting 00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:24.200 from your soul in my realm. I do truly believe 00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:30.519 that. And that you're good. was taken and abused. 00:30:31.460 --> 00:30:34.700 There are two beings that entered your world. 00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:41.000 They go by the name of Orcus and Vecna. Powers 00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:46.940 of undeath and torment. They go directly against 00:30:46.940 --> 00:30:53.690 my will as a god. As I am the... Goddess of life 00:30:53.690 --> 00:30:56.509 and death, I bring the souls where they must 00:30:56.509 --> 00:30:59.569 go, and I bring their time when it is the end. 00:31:01.230 --> 00:31:05.309 And your other side was my avatar. The version 00:31:05.309 --> 00:31:08.349 of you in this world walked where I could not, 00:31:08.369 --> 00:31:11.670 and brought my hand and my will where it was 00:31:11.670 --> 00:31:19.630 difficult to do myself. But she sacrificed herself. 00:31:21.710 --> 00:31:29.190 That leave me. It leaves you and her one as her 00:31:29.190 --> 00:31:35.250 sacrifice was not enough. Our world is being 00:31:35.250 --> 00:31:41.009 rapidly consumed as only one can exist in the 00:31:41.009 --> 00:31:46.569 same plane. That means everyone who has a copy 00:31:46.569 --> 00:31:49.809 or duplicate here will either be replaced by 00:31:49.809 --> 00:32:00.210 them Or fused with them. What... What... What 00:32:00.210 --> 00:32:02.849 would you have me do then? I would have you do 00:32:02.849 --> 00:32:07.910 as my avatar would. Bring my will. Correct the 00:32:07.910 --> 00:32:14.210 wrong. And put an end to my enemy's plans. And 00:32:14.210 --> 00:32:17.349 write your world to the way it's meant to be. 00:32:19.600 --> 00:32:22.420 But, um, forgive me, but I don't recall you... 00:32:22.420 --> 00:32:26.500 You said you were a god. Who are you, exactly? 00:32:27.099 --> 00:32:31.039 How am I supposed to know who... I don't understand. 00:32:31.619 --> 00:32:37.160 Your soul is now one with my avatar's soul. In 00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:42.000 turn, you and I are closer than you may think. 00:32:42.900 --> 00:32:45.859 Look deep within your memories, and there will 00:32:45.859 --> 00:32:50.480 be some that you personally, did not experience, 00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:55.200 but yet you remember it. Think hard. Look for 00:32:55.200 --> 00:33:03.460 the shadow and the feather in your past. She 00:33:03.460 --> 00:33:07.220 seems waiting for your answer to your own question. 00:33:14.819 --> 00:33:22.410 Do I now? Yes, please. Okay. She's gonna just, 00:33:22.490 --> 00:33:24.569 like, look around. I'm very uncertain, but she's 00:33:24.569 --> 00:33:29.309 gonna close her eyes. This is just completely 00:33:29.309 --> 00:33:31.569 unlike Errol and she doesn't understand any of 00:33:31.569 --> 00:33:37.190 this, but she's going to think and try to focus 00:33:37.190 --> 00:33:40.029 on what she said about a shadow and a raven? 00:33:40.470 --> 00:33:45.829 Or feather? She's trying to find a memory of 00:33:45.829 --> 00:33:48.859 that. trying to find something that resembles 00:33:48.859 --> 00:33:50.960 that and she's not sure what she's looking for. 00:33:52.460 --> 00:33:56.980 Go ahead and roll a history check. And then if 00:33:56.980 --> 00:33:58.480 you roll high enough, I'll tell you exactly what 00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:03.680 you need to look for. Well, I don't have a good 00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:06.460 history, so I only got, yeah, no, that's an eight. 00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:14.849 The best I can give you is DM to player. Evelyn 00:34:14.849 --> 00:34:18.230 is not searching for a memory of hers. She's 00:34:18.230 --> 00:34:21.329 searching for a memory of this world's version. 00:34:21.969 --> 00:34:25.849 And it's the first it's the memory of when she 00:34:25.849 --> 00:34:30.630 became the avatar of the Raven Queen. And so 00:34:30.630 --> 00:34:33.269 I'm not going to do it for you because you rolled 00:34:33.269 --> 00:34:35.190 low enough. So I'm going to leave that in your 00:34:35.190 --> 00:34:41.340 hands to tell the memory. If you rolled high 00:34:41.340 --> 00:34:43.199 enough, I would have held you out more, but nope. 00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:47.539 Yeah, well, I'm not sure how the Shatterkai here 00:34:47.539 --> 00:34:50.159 works, so I'm trying to figure that out. It's 00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:52.579 okay. Run off whatever Shatterkai knowledge you 00:34:52.579 --> 00:34:56.139 know. Oh, there's not what I know, and there's 00:34:56.139 --> 00:35:00.159 what I've made up. Go off what you made up. Oh, 00:35:00.179 --> 00:35:10.909 fantastic. I love it. All right. So Evelyn is 00:35:10.909 --> 00:35:17.449 trying to dig deep into this mind, but she feels 00:35:17.449 --> 00:35:19.369 like it's not supposed to be her mind. There's 00:35:19.369 --> 00:35:23.010 something deeper. She's not sure what she's looking 00:35:23.010 --> 00:35:29.949 for. And she... As she has her eyes closed, it's 00:35:29.949 --> 00:35:32.949 as if her eyes are still open because of this 00:35:32.949 --> 00:35:37.389 vast space of darkness. And she starts seeing... 00:35:37.869 --> 00:35:42.369 flashes of vague memories of that that aren't 00:35:42.369 --> 00:35:45.550 hers but she could tell it's from someone's perspective 00:35:45.550 --> 00:35:51.989 of them waking up in a strange world and then 00:35:51.989 --> 00:35:56.530 interacting with others of individuals with gray 00:35:56.530 --> 00:36:02.590 skin and white hair and black eyes and she starts 00:36:02.590 --> 00:36:05.170 seeing different snippets of this person's life 00:36:07.309 --> 00:36:12.849 But then she sees that individual walk toward 00:36:12.849 --> 00:36:18.210 this darkened door. She could tell that there 00:36:18.210 --> 00:36:22.710 were porches lined with it as she toured the 00:36:22.710 --> 00:36:26.269 way. And there were others that stand there. 00:36:27.369 --> 00:36:31.070 They tell her that this is her crucible. And 00:36:31.070 --> 00:36:35.730 this is where she would be tested. and her path 00:36:35.730 --> 00:36:40.809 would be laid out before her. And she steps into 00:36:40.809 --> 00:36:46.110 that darkened doorway, and she encounters the 00:36:46.110 --> 00:36:55.130 same woman standing before Evelyn herself. And 00:36:55.130 --> 00:37:00.849 Evelyn can't hear the exchange, doesn't know 00:37:00.849 --> 00:37:05.849 exactly what was said. But there is, she could 00:37:05.849 --> 00:37:13.829 see these threads of black that pour from the 00:37:13.829 --> 00:37:15.889 woman that's standing before her into this other 00:37:15.889 --> 00:37:20.610 individual that she's seeing now. As if this 00:37:20.610 --> 00:37:28.269 woman is pouring herself into this person. Tying 00:37:28.269 --> 00:37:40.489 her directly to her. and then she hears she hears 00:37:40.489 --> 00:37:48.909 one command and this darkness and this space 00:37:48.909 --> 00:38:02.690 solve my will is what she hears and in that moment 00:38:02.690 --> 00:38:09.570 she feels this power This divine power feel her. 00:38:13.170 --> 00:38:19.550 And then Evelyn pulls back. And she's standing 00:38:19.550 --> 00:38:24.050 once more in front of this woman, this god. And 00:38:24.050 --> 00:38:27.250 she's confused, but she feels as though there 00:38:27.250 --> 00:38:33.070 is still that power within her. Do you know my 00:38:33.070 --> 00:38:43.699 name? Should I roll for that? Evelyn would know. 00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:48.960 Innately, in her soul, she would know. You are 00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:53.940 the Raven Queen. Queen of Shadows to Queen of 00:38:53.940 --> 00:39:03.619 Ravens. The face of... I guess... What's the 00:39:03.619 --> 00:39:08.780 word? Relief. Washes over this woman's... Visage. 00:39:09.420 --> 00:39:14.639 Yes, I am. And I am glad to see that my avatar 00:39:14.639 --> 00:39:24.380 is not lost. Evelyn. Evelyn Sinclair. Your life 00:39:24.380 --> 00:39:30.900 has been a rough one. Your people, even without 00:39:30.900 --> 00:39:35.139 magic, still found a way to be monstrous to each 00:39:35.139 --> 00:39:41.099 other. There was evil in your world, different 00:39:41.099 --> 00:39:48.559 but similar to ours. And now, our evil has access 00:39:48.559 --> 00:39:59.659 to your evil. I will aid you with my power for 00:39:59.659 --> 00:40:04.699 as long as our worlds are connected. And as for 00:40:04.699 --> 00:40:08.599 as long as you do my will. And bring my hand 00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:13.320 upon those who go against the cycle of life and 00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:20.699 death. I will aid you with my power. My only 00:40:20.699 --> 00:40:24.420 desire and true wish is for you to send back 00:40:24.420 --> 00:40:29.699 Vecna and Orcus. Back to this world where they 00:40:29.699 --> 00:40:35.579 belong. And put an end to their cohort's plans. 00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:43.059 She walks up to you and places her hands on yours 00:40:43.059 --> 00:40:45.900 and pulls them closer, like in between you two. 00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:50.360 Almost a reassuring grasp. You can feel cold, 00:40:50.460 --> 00:40:56.820 lifelessness, but yet still a pulse within her 00:40:56.820 --> 00:41:07.360 body. Your friend, your family member, I believe 00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:13.050 he goes, By the name of Michael now. I see him 00:41:13.050 --> 00:41:17.469 in your memories, in your past. I worry he has 00:41:17.469 --> 00:41:20.230 been caught up in this. Not willingly, of course. 00:41:23.730 --> 00:41:28.309 Is he still alive? Through your connection with 00:41:28.309 --> 00:41:34.349 him, I can sense that yes, he is. But his life 00:41:34.349 --> 00:41:39.739 force is being smothered, buried. abused and 00:41:39.739 --> 00:41:48.280 manipulated by whom by one of the evils that 00:41:48.280 --> 00:41:54.920 crossed the world's threshold he truly meant 00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:59.300 to do good so much so that even when the evil 00:41:59.300 --> 00:42:01.719 attempted to breach through he seemed to have 00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:08.659 caught on to it a little bit We just wanted to 00:42:08.659 --> 00:42:10.840 do good. We wanted to make the world a better 00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:15.099 place. I believe in you. And I do truly believe 00:42:15.099 --> 00:42:18.619 that that is what you will. And good can still 00:42:18.619 --> 00:42:27.519 be done. There is a... There is something that 00:42:27.519 --> 00:42:31.599 can be done. I sense in your world a being of 00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:37.469 great power. That is not of our world, but something 00:42:37.469 --> 00:42:43.590 that came about through your friends' research 00:42:43.590 --> 00:42:48.949 and study and project. I know not of what this 00:42:48.949 --> 00:42:57.309 is, but it has great power of life. Search... 00:42:57.309 --> 00:43:00.369 Trying to think really hard for it. Search for 00:43:00.369 --> 00:43:03.170 what this must be. Your friend must have left 00:43:03.170 --> 00:43:09.090 signs. Of course, of course. You must go back 00:43:09.090 --> 00:43:13.250 now. Out of my realm and into yours. Everything 00:43:13.250 --> 00:43:18.449 will be different. Magic is not kind to lands 00:43:18.449 --> 00:43:22.769 that are not used to it or belt around it. Expect 00:43:22.769 --> 00:43:29.110 horrors and tragedies at every turn. Of course. 00:43:29.670 --> 00:43:33.849 But do not blame yourself. Your good was abused. 00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:40.199 was taken advantage of. Every magic is not evil. 00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:52.079 It is how one uses it. Thank you. I will do my 00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:57.119 very best to write what has been done. And I 00:43:57.119 --> 00:44:01.300 do appreciate your help. Now, I want you to be 00:44:01.300 --> 00:44:04.750 aware of something before you leave. As some 00:44:04.750 --> 00:44:08.610 of the black water, like, waterfalls upward and 00:44:08.610 --> 00:44:12.289 then solidifies. As a small speck of light manifests 00:44:12.289 --> 00:44:15.789 above this now mirror reflection and you see 00:44:15.789 --> 00:44:20.110 yourself somewhat changed. But we're not going 00:44:20.110 --> 00:44:23.630 to explain what that looks like just yet. As 00:44:23.630 --> 00:44:26.829 your soul fuses with another. With the one from 00:44:26.829 --> 00:44:31.530 this world. It seems as if there is not a consumption. 00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:36.780 or destruction going on. Both souls are existing 00:44:36.780 --> 00:44:41.099 simultaneously, and this is something that is 00:44:41.099 --> 00:44:47.659 odd. I'm not knowledgeable of the different ways 00:44:47.659 --> 00:44:51.460 that this can function, but from what I do know, 00:44:51.579 --> 00:44:59.559 the merging so seamlessly between two souls is 00:45:03.650 --> 00:45:08.269 different. Find others that are like this. I 00:45:08.269 --> 00:45:13.349 feel as if the world's attempted to put an end 00:45:13.349 --> 00:45:16.510 to this or put a way to stop it, and the people 00:45:16.510 --> 00:45:20.489 in your world that are fused like you are to 00:45:20.489 --> 00:45:25.210 my avatar, they will be important. I'm sure of 00:45:25.210 --> 00:45:33.289 it. I will see what I can find. Goodbye, Evelyn. 00:45:33.730 --> 00:45:37.429 I will be watching, and I will be with you. In 00:45:37.429 --> 00:45:40.869 your world, my connection will be strenuous. 00:45:42.329 --> 00:45:45.150 But the more magic pours in, the more I will 00:45:45.150 --> 00:45:48.750 be able to assist you. Give in to the natural 00:45:48.750 --> 00:45:51.650 order. The way of things and the memories the 00:45:51.650 --> 00:45:54.429 other side of you holds, and you will know how 00:45:54.429 --> 00:46:01.940 to use my power. Okay, well. Goodbye. I will 00:46:01.940 --> 00:46:06.639 do my best. And with that, you are sucked into 00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:11.699 the water. Into the black. Into the void. And 00:46:11.699 --> 00:46:22.659 you wake up. Maxwell! Come on back. Both of you 00:46:22.659 --> 00:46:38.460 wake up in a simultaneous jump. Fuck. Did we 00:46:38.460 --> 00:46:41.539 just explode? Did the building just fucking explode? 00:46:43.539 --> 00:46:47.539 Evelyn doesn't answer that question. She's laying 00:46:47.539 --> 00:46:53.500 on her back and she's immediately assessing herself. 00:46:54.940 --> 00:46:57.320 can i move can i move my fingertips can i am 00:46:57.320 --> 00:47:00.480 i bleeding she's just automatically just shifting 00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:04.679 into trying to assess the situation the immediate 00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:07.559 situation and she's like trying to make sure 00:47:07.559 --> 00:47:11.099 that her neck's not injured no she's not trapped 00:47:11.099 --> 00:47:14.900 maxwell like eases to his feet and sees her laying 00:47:14.900 --> 00:47:18.639 there and sees her not saying anything uh and 00:47:18.639 --> 00:47:21.059 he's gonna kind of like move over to her side 00:47:21.059 --> 00:47:23.730 knees down And he's like, oh, I swear to God, 00:47:23.750 --> 00:47:25.670 if you're fucking dead right now, this is... 00:47:25.670 --> 00:47:27.849 And he, like, starts to, like, check her pulse 00:47:27.849 --> 00:47:29.829 and, like, look for injuries. I'm going to reach 00:47:29.829 --> 00:47:33.409 up and grab your hand. Good, you're alive. And 00:47:33.409 --> 00:47:36.710 as you approach, some of the light from Elias's 00:47:36.710 --> 00:47:40.809 backup battery starts to come online and flash, 00:47:40.909 --> 00:47:44.010 and that's when you both see each other's changes. 00:47:45.230 --> 00:47:51.610 Maxwell, explain what Evelyn sees. Um... Maxwell 00:47:51.610 --> 00:47:55.869 is about a foot and a half taller than he was 00:47:55.869 --> 00:48:02.449 previously. He was like 5 '6", 5 '7", kind of 00:48:02.449 --> 00:48:08.730 a short guy, but athletic. He's now a good like 00:48:08.730 --> 00:48:21.960 6 '4", 6 '5". Green cat -like eyes and That's 00:48:21.960 --> 00:48:26.139 pretty much all you notice initially. I mean, 00:48:26.159 --> 00:48:29.599 unless you're able to kind of see in the dark. 00:48:29.639 --> 00:48:31.400 You can see that his skin... Well, the light 00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:36.019 is flashing like a brighter blue. In that case, 00:48:36.059 --> 00:48:46.019 his skin is a lot more pale. Almost... Not quite 00:48:46.019 --> 00:48:53.989 like a corpse, but more... Like a smurf. Yeah, 00:48:53.989 --> 00:49:01.230 a very, very pale blue kind of a gray. Oh, so 00:49:01.230 --> 00:49:04.869 like the smurfs that the wizard makes. Bad smurfs. 00:49:06.449 --> 00:49:10.090 Yeah, something like that. I'll find a way to 00:49:10.090 --> 00:49:14.590 make you a smurf, Matt. Yeah, we're not doing 00:49:14.590 --> 00:49:19.519 that. One of these days I might play a halfling 00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:22.300 or a gnome, but it is not this day. It is not 00:49:22.300 --> 00:49:30.400 my day. But bright green cat -like eyes. Evelyn, 00:49:31.980 --> 00:49:34.639 what does Maxwell see when he's looking down 00:49:34.639 --> 00:49:36.760 and the light is flashing, cascading over you? 00:49:38.059 --> 00:49:40.800 Well, of course he doesn't notice too much except 00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:43.860 for his whole hair is beginning to go white. 00:49:44.570 --> 00:49:49.409 She has streaks of white in her hair. But she 00:49:49.409 --> 00:49:52.449 grabs his hand, and then she opens her eyes. 00:49:52.550 --> 00:49:55.929 And when she opens her eyes, he sees her entire 00:49:55.929 --> 00:49:58.789 eye, including the white part. It's entirely 00:49:58.789 --> 00:50:05.909 black. Oh, oh, I don't. And he kind of tenses 00:50:05.909 --> 00:50:11.849 up. He's like, please tell me that's you. Demon! 00:50:13.929 --> 00:50:22.710 It just looks... Um... Yes? Um... Maxwell? Oh, 00:50:22.769 --> 00:50:27.449 thank God. Why are your eyes like that? Why are 00:50:27.449 --> 00:50:30.110 my eyes like... Wait, what are my eyes like? 00:50:32.250 --> 00:50:37.150 Green cat eyes? Um, I'll take that over. You... 00:50:37.150 --> 00:50:43.039 You've got this whole, like... the ring or something 00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:45.039 going on. Your eyes are, like, completely black 00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:52.579 right now. I see. Alright. And the hair is new. 00:50:52.760 --> 00:50:59.139 I mean, it suits you. Don't get me wrong. Alright. 00:50:59.719 --> 00:51:03.619 Just be quiet for a second. Just quiet. She's 00:51:03.619 --> 00:51:06.539 gonna just, like, she finishes and assesses herself 00:51:06.539 --> 00:51:10.130 and then she's looking around. And she's trying 00:51:10.130 --> 00:51:13.550 to see if there's any immediate threats to their 00:51:13.550 --> 00:51:16.230 well -being at this moment, like unstable debris, 00:51:16.610 --> 00:51:20.110 flooding, or collapsing structure or anything 00:51:20.110 --> 00:51:23.869 like that. There is nothing immediately threatening. 00:51:24.610 --> 00:51:27.969 However, something that she does pick up on is 00:51:27.969 --> 00:51:31.449 that the backup battery for Elias is starting 00:51:31.449 --> 00:51:35.449 to falter and fail. If Elias is not pulled out, 00:51:35.690 --> 00:51:39.750 then... pretty much he will continue to try to 00:51:39.750 --> 00:51:44.510 power all of Eden by himself. And this is... 00:51:44.510 --> 00:51:47.650 I thought we pulled him out. Oh yeah, that's 00:51:47.650 --> 00:51:54.570 right. That's right. Whoa. We're kidding. We're 00:51:54.570 --> 00:51:58.090 just going to say that that was a kind of like 00:51:58.090 --> 00:52:01.510 semblance of yes. The backup battery is dying 00:52:01.510 --> 00:52:04.769 and this is when you realize that there's that 00:52:04.769 --> 00:52:08.159 Elias is on his own. and you're now realizing 00:52:08.159 --> 00:52:10.300 that elias is a little bit cracked and he's like 00:52:10.300 --> 00:52:14.239 flickering kind of he's you're not sure if he's 00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:17.960 quite there but the backup battery is dying uh 00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:23.400 on this machine that was powering him okay all 00:52:23.400 --> 00:52:26.260 right so i'm gonna grab what i have of elias 00:52:26.260 --> 00:52:30.900 it's can i just like see like i'm going to look 00:52:30.900 --> 00:52:32.599 and see if there's anything that could be tightened 00:52:32.599 --> 00:52:37.500 anything that could be Think like he is a glass 00:52:37.500 --> 00:52:42.760 sphere. A glass ball with almost like energy 00:52:42.760 --> 00:52:50.719 inside of it. A lot of translucent wiring and 00:52:50.719 --> 00:52:53.019 everything inside of it to give him that kind 00:52:53.019 --> 00:52:57.300 of futuristic look. But the glass canister is 00:52:57.300 --> 00:53:02.800 cracked and that seems you can feel like energy, 00:53:02.860 --> 00:53:05.579 like ozone and power seeping out of that crack. 00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:10.559 I need to find a way to get you fixed, Elias. 00:53:10.579 --> 00:53:14.900 I can't do it right now, though. He seems to 00:53:14.900 --> 00:53:20.099 flicker in acknowledgement. You know a little 00:53:20.099 --> 00:53:24.940 bit of Morse code. I know Morse code. And it's 00:53:24.940 --> 00:53:28.599 enough that you notice he is speaking, and Elias 00:53:28.599 --> 00:53:32.260 flickers when he talks. In Morse code as well. 00:53:33.039 --> 00:53:36.619 Um. But he has no speaker system to speak. And 00:53:36.619 --> 00:53:38.780 so he is simply only speaking in Morse code. 00:53:38.960 --> 00:53:44.840 Which basically he stated. I feel cold. I feel 00:53:44.840 --> 00:53:50.380 cold. Alright. Um. I'll see what I can do Elias. 00:53:50.639 --> 00:53:54.400 So she's going to stand up. Holding Elias close 00:53:54.400 --> 00:53:56.559 to her. Like trying to warm him up you know. 00:53:56.920 --> 00:53:59.019 And she's going to look at Maxwell. Look him 00:53:59.019 --> 00:54:02.460 up and down. You seem taller than I remember. 00:54:02.880 --> 00:54:10.039 Um, are you, are you well? Um, he looks, he looks 00:54:10.039 --> 00:54:13.920 down and realizes like the t -shirt that he's 00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:17.960 wearing is now like two or three sizes too small. 00:54:18.539 --> 00:54:21.139 He's kind of got like the Dr. Cox, like baby 00:54:21.139 --> 00:54:24.239 gap shirt thing going on right now. And he just 00:54:24.239 --> 00:54:27.940 kind of like does this number for a second and 00:54:27.940 --> 00:54:33.360 like, Flexes his arm. Flexes his other arm. Flexes 00:54:33.360 --> 00:54:41.239 his peck. He's like, ooh! That's... I look like 00:54:41.239 --> 00:54:48.199 a Greek god! But grey -blue! Fun fact, he's a... 00:54:48.199 --> 00:54:51.800 He's a... He's a... He's a... He's a... He's 00:54:51.800 --> 00:55:06.539 a... We can figure this out later. Do you know 00:55:06.539 --> 00:55:08.900 how long we were out? Do you know how long we 00:55:08.900 --> 00:55:12.099 were out? He's going to reach into his pocket 00:55:12.099 --> 00:55:15.280 and see if his cell phone is still working. No. 00:55:15.920 --> 00:55:28.679 It's shattered. Yeah, I got nothing there. Elias, 00:55:28.679 --> 00:55:33.960 can you tell the time? Flickers, no. Alright. 00:55:35.940 --> 00:55:40.400 Alright. Let's go. Did we get blown up? Did we 00:55:40.400 --> 00:55:44.219 get blown up? Elias, did we get blown up? Flickers, 00:55:44.360 --> 00:55:52.280 yes. Yes. Alright. We need to... See, what happened? 00:55:52.360 --> 00:55:54.219 We need to figure out who there is. I need to 00:55:54.219 --> 00:55:56.579 find someone. I need to contact Mercury. I need 00:55:56.579 --> 00:55:59.000 to find Michael. I need to see where everybody 00:55:59.000 --> 00:56:02.380 else is. Come on, let's go. I do want to add 00:56:02.380 --> 00:56:09.460 one thing. Almost like it took a moment. But 00:56:09.460 --> 00:56:14.219 the last memory of the other half comes kicking 00:56:14.219 --> 00:56:17.539 in the door of your brain. And you experience 00:56:17.539 --> 00:56:24.159 it. From that side. Who? Both of you. And Evelyn, 00:56:24.280 --> 00:56:27.539 you remember everything from that realm. Mm -hmm. 00:56:28.019 --> 00:56:33.340 So. I had to stop for a second. Oh, that wasn't 00:56:33.340 --> 00:56:40.219 a dream. Um, what the fuck did you just say? 00:56:42.079 --> 00:56:45.719 Did you encounter a strange woman that talked 00:56:45.719 --> 00:56:55.139 to you about um, about What this is? No, I shot 00:56:55.139 --> 00:56:58.420 a motherfucker in the head with a bone spike 00:56:58.420 --> 00:57:01.119 out of my wrist. Oh, and you saw yourself come 00:57:01.119 --> 00:57:02.699 out of yourself and then them try to harvest 00:57:02.699 --> 00:57:06.460 the soul. Yeah, and then there was me and then 00:57:06.460 --> 00:57:10.099 another me that came out of me and the motherfucker 00:57:10.099 --> 00:57:12.440 that I shot in the head was trying to harvest 00:57:12.440 --> 00:57:22.099 me and then I... We need to go. Okay. I... We 00:57:22.099 --> 00:57:24.880 need to see if Arden is around. She might know 00:57:24.880 --> 00:57:30.159 something. She might know something. Didn't she 00:57:30.159 --> 00:57:34.079 go to the generator? Yes, so we need to go see 00:57:34.079 --> 00:57:38.940 if Arden and Hezekiah survived whatever just 00:57:38.940 --> 00:57:42.579 happened. The generator that just went boom? 00:57:43.780 --> 00:57:46.760 We don't know. Did that happen or was it what 00:57:46.760 --> 00:57:52.619 we just did by pulling Elias out? above table 00:57:52.619 --> 00:57:57.139 you and i don't know oh yeah that's right um 00:57:57.139 --> 00:58:01.440 okay yeah so above table we'll we'll rewind that 00:58:01.440 --> 00:58:06.940 we'll wreck on it and um maxwell's just gonna 00:58:06.940 --> 00:58:09.539 kind of shudder and shake his head and he's like 00:58:09.539 --> 00:58:18.739 i i fucking hate okay yeah um i lead the way. 00:58:18.920 --> 00:58:22.000 Of course, just stay behind me, it's alright. 00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:27.739 I dislike you with great intensity. I have never 00:58:27.739 --> 00:58:30.579 liked you whatsoever. We move away from this 00:58:30.579 --> 00:58:33.159 and they head towards the generator room, stumbling 00:58:33.159 --> 00:58:40.139 through rubble and the darkness. We move, if 00:58:40.139 --> 00:58:42.679 you two want to cover your screens, Arden and 00:58:42.679 --> 00:58:47.179 Hezekiah, you both wake up. suddenly in the generator 00:58:47.179 --> 00:58:52.179 room a massive warehouse like room but the generator 00:58:52.179 --> 00:58:57.139 is nowhere to be seen all that is left is massive 00:58:57.139 --> 00:59:00.840 scorch marks and rubble and ruin as part of the 00:59:00.840 --> 00:59:04.320 ceiling has collapsed down thankfully you were 00:59:04.320 --> 00:59:14.579 spared from that collapse As you both wake up 00:59:14.579 --> 00:59:19.699 at the same time. Arden's gonna look up at the 00:59:19.699 --> 00:59:23.019 ceiling that has collapsed, look around, realize 00:59:23.019 --> 00:59:26.440 that she has miraculously avoided being crushed. 00:59:28.039 --> 00:59:39.360 Also, blown up. Oh. This reminds me of the Humvee. 00:59:41.840 --> 00:59:49.059 And as panic lights turn on, it becomes slightly 00:59:49.059 --> 00:59:53.719 easier to see as you do see Hezekiah laying off 00:59:53.719 --> 00:59:57.800 in the distance, sitting up slowly. But what 00:59:57.800 --> 01:00:02.960 does Arden see when she sees Hezekiah? What changes 01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:13.380 have been done? Oh, you're muted. I can just 01:00:13.380 --> 01:00:15.559 let you talk and be like, alright, now that you've 01:00:15.559 --> 01:00:17.860 said all of that, please say it again, unmuted. 01:00:21.420 --> 01:00:29.920 My special skill. Hezekiah looks almost the same, 01:00:30.099 --> 01:00:39.059 but a little bit ghostly. Can tell he's not a 01:00:39.059 --> 01:00:46.260 hundred percent uh corporeal anymore um and seems 01:00:46.260 --> 01:00:52.260 to be a little bit translucent um and glowing 01:00:52.260 --> 01:00:57.739 a little bit purple around the edges his coffee 01:00:57.739 --> 01:01:02.079 cup is still survived somehow still full of coffee 01:01:02.079 --> 01:01:05.679 actually it's almost as if hezekiah is like that 01:01:05.679 --> 01:01:08.019 kind of people who like can be like knocked around 01:01:08.019 --> 01:01:10.340 pushed down jumping around and always keep their 01:01:10.340 --> 01:01:13.739 beer in their cup but with them it's a hezekiah 01:01:13.739 --> 01:01:17.840 like hezekiah got blown fucking 30 40 feet hit 01:01:17.840 --> 01:01:20.539 the ground rolled and the coffee is still in 01:01:20.539 --> 01:01:28.300 the coffee cup yeah he'll take a sip of the coffee 01:01:28.300 --> 01:01:33.679 too and sit up uh Damn. And what does Hezekiah 01:01:33.679 --> 01:01:37.559 see when he looks towards Arden, who is approaching 01:01:37.559 --> 01:01:43.420 him? Yeah. So Arden has stood up and is approaching 01:01:43.420 --> 01:01:48.340 Hezekiah. Probably one of the first things that 01:01:48.340 --> 01:01:51.199 would be rather noticeable is the fact that she 01:01:51.199 --> 01:01:54.780 is both taller and broader than she was. Beef 01:01:54.780 --> 01:02:00.929 mommy now. Not quite beef mommy, but... she she 01:02:00.929 --> 01:02:04.269 was only five foot two beforehand and she has 01:02:04.269 --> 01:02:08.969 shot up seven inches um so her clothes are definitely 01:02:08.969 --> 01:02:14.050 very tight um it's like wearing toddler clothes 01:02:14.050 --> 01:02:18.690 her hair which was only about chin length is 01:02:18.690 --> 01:02:26.170 now like mid shoulder blades and very um unkempt 01:02:26.170 --> 01:02:36.969 um And her eyes are bright, bright orange. Like 01:02:36.969 --> 01:02:39.469 a wolf's. You just see that coming at you in 01:02:39.469 --> 01:02:41.469 the darkness. Just the glowing bright orange 01:02:41.469 --> 01:02:47.949 eyes and this almost wild woman look. And her 01:02:47.949 --> 01:02:53.329 teeth and nails are now also sharper. It's a 01:02:53.329 --> 01:02:59.869 werewolf. Did you get bitten by a werewolf when 01:02:59.869 --> 01:03:05.809 you got knocked out? As you say that, she pokes 01:03:05.809 --> 01:03:09.550 you in the chest. And her finger kind of goes 01:03:09.550 --> 01:03:12.090 through a little bit. Not all the way. There's 01:03:12.090 --> 01:03:14.429 a little bit of resistance. But it's just... 01:03:14.429 --> 01:03:19.389 The moment her finger starts to go through a 01:03:19.389 --> 01:03:22.210 little bit, she rips her hand back and is like, 01:03:22.309 --> 01:03:28.500 that is no. I don't like that either. Please 01:03:28.500 --> 01:03:37.099 don't. Why are you ghosting? Did you die? I don't 01:03:37.099 --> 01:03:50.340 think so, but... I'm not entirely sure. And... 01:03:51.079 --> 01:03:53.280 As you guys are trying to figure the situation 01:03:53.280 --> 01:03:58.280 out, only to make things worse, a massive screaming 01:03:58.280 --> 01:04:02.280 migraine comes through into your minds as the 01:04:02.280 --> 01:04:05.960 last memory of your other sides replay in your 01:04:05.960 --> 01:04:08.480 mind, and you get to watch it unfold from their 01:04:08.480 --> 01:04:14.940 perspective. And, yeah. So everything you saw 01:04:14.940 --> 01:04:24.119 happens to you now. Arden kind of clutches her 01:04:24.119 --> 01:04:36.280 head and reels away from Hezekiah. Oh. What the 01:04:36.280 --> 01:04:43.980 fuck? How many fucking realities are there? Fucking. 01:04:44.440 --> 01:04:48.139 You get the feeling that you yourself has asked 01:04:48.139 --> 01:04:55.380 that once before and was told so many. that only 01:04:55.380 --> 01:05:03.579 annoys you more but as the headache subsides 01:05:03.579 --> 01:05:12.039 slowly you guys realize everything down here 01:05:12.039 --> 01:05:16.340 has gone to shit you remember what you saw before 01:05:16.340 --> 01:05:26.969 the explosion Okay. There is some serious fuck 01:05:26.969 --> 01:05:34.809 shit going on. Yeah. Let's see if we can find 01:05:34.809 --> 01:05:41.210 Evelyn. Yeah. I think she needs to know that 01:05:41.210 --> 01:05:45.989 Michael has been kidnapped? Turned into a monster? 01:05:46.110 --> 01:05:49.719 I don't fucking know.
