The Shardmind's Realm

A beautiful crystal island floated through the sky, far above the clouds, so high up in the sky it drifted. The blue from the sky started to fade and the stars could be seen, as it drifted a long. Inside a large crystal hall, sitting on a beautiful crystal throne was Anu. Blending in so well with the throne it seemed that he was apart of it. Anu was in a deep trance, once a week he would sit there and would mentally probe out across the world and astral to sense for any changes to the fabric of reality. Suddenly he pulled out of his trance, he had felt several astral echos hit him at once. They were signs that something had changed drastically, this deeply disturbed the Shardmind.

Merian awoke slowly and sat up her hair was frizzed and she huffed looking around slowly. She was on an island??? She stood and looked around and peeked over the edge her eyes going wide as she fell back. She was on a...FLAOTING ISLAND???? She stood and began to panic where was she??? She remembered everything the test the machine it was designed to teleport people but THIS. She wasn't even in the machine at the time... She sat and began to think. How coudl this have happened??? Had the matter transmitter gone beyond its boundaries she could not be sure.

Anu sensed a different form of life of the island, its energy signature marked it as human yet it was different then ones he had encountered. As he stirred from his throne he seemed to glide as his crystal body never touched the ground but instead hung loosely in the air. Arriving at the signature he saw a girl looking over the edge of the island, her emotions seemed to be in a panic. Anu was deeply disturbed, not even powerful wizards could make it to this island. "How did you get here girl?" he said telepathically as he approached her from behind.

Merian heard a voice in her head and froze she turned around slowly and starred at the crystal creature. "Oh well you know the normal way took a bus- I HAVE NO IDEA HOW STUPID A QUESTION IS THAT!!!" She huffed angrily her cheeks puffing up and turning red in annoyance. "I woke up here just know..." She said calming a little. "Though I am fairly sure this is a result of my teleporter going aray I can't be positive I was not in the machine but the blast must have transporter all organic matter in the room...Wait..." She eyed the creature. "You probably have no idea what I am talking about..." She sat down her baggy clothes slumped around her. "What will happen nowww." She huffed and ran her fingers through her hair.

Anu pondered over this, she was obviously in shock and wasn't explaining very clearly. "If you will allow me to human, I would like to access your memory. It would help me to better understand what has happened to you." Anu had suspicions that what she said had to do with the disturbance in the Astral he felt.

Merian glared."I would rather you not..." She took deep breaths a calmed down looking at Anu. "I'm an inventor and scientist...I built a machine that allows people to go from one place one place to another... It malfunctioned exploded and I woke up here which is not at all where I should be..." She eyed the man. "So no brain thing...I would just rather not too many weird moments in my brain."
