Leif - Earth Stone

[the_last]

[As soon as Leif chomps on the fruit, he will experience sudden disorientation, as if suddenly unfamiliar with being inside his body, perhaps not even knowing why he is there or who he is. It lasts for but a moment and then slowly fades... He will suddenly find himself in a place that seems unusually quiet and gray, as though the color were stolen but there remains just enough to suggest that things have been greatly subdued. There are also about three spots in the distance that seem to almost glow with gentle hues of color, soft and welcoming. Too bad, they seem much too far away to reach.

Within the gray is an expansive forest of every tree imaginable and dry, brittle grass that extends to mid-calf. Here and there, one might even spot some faded prints left upon the ground. The sky is equally gray, although not one cloud can be seen. But a dark mist seems to swirl around the forest, not too thick but clearly present.]

Because I wanted magic, why else.

[wouldntkilladragon]

Why?

[karlsefni]

. . .

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Arches an eyebrow.]

[karlsefni]

[ . . . reluctantly, ]

I don't like being helpless.

[wouldntkilladragon]

And you think the magic will prevent that?

[karlsefni]

Who knows? I just figured it wouldn't be a bad idea when I saw the persona.

[wouldntkilladragon]

When you saw him?

[karlsefni]

With the call or whatever. . . he said there was more to find, and that's apparently magic, so.

[wouldntkilladragon]

Really are straight forward, huh?

[karlsefni]

What else would I be.

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Shrugs.]

[karlsefni]

[ shoving his hands into his pockets, eyeing the surroundings. ]

Now are we done with these fucking questions or do you have more shit to say.

[wouldntkilladragon]

Didn't realize my questions were so bothersome.

You just seem to never really know why you choose your goals.

[karlsefni]

They're not even relevant.

So what?

[wouldntkilladragon]

If you just stop at the superficial reason, then doesn't it, I dunno, seem weak?

[karlsefni]

[ . . . i don't know what that means. . . ]

I chose them for a reason and that's enough for me. What part of that is weak?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Because you just decide things without really thinking about the why.

I feel helpless. Oh, magic will fix that. Why? Can you be sure? Have you seen magic really make people not helpless? And why do you feel helpless?

Plus it also kind of limits you.

[karlsefni]

I don't know if it will work but I don't know if it won't work, and it's not like I'm gonna lose an arm and a leg for it so why shouldn't I anyway?

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Snorts.] And always acting like it's just the physical can go wrong.

[karlsefni]

And? I can get over it if it's not a broken arm or something.

[wouldntkilladragon]

You really sure about that?

[karlsefni]

Sure, why not.

[wouldntkilladragon]

See, there it is again.

You really think the mind is just that inconsequential?

[karlsefni]

[ eyebrow raise ]
