Snippet #2474429

located in Phyrexian Grassland, a part of The Garden: An Arcadian Boneyard, one of the many universes on RPG.

Phyrexian Grassland

Vast plains of grass and large fields were the norm at one point here near Kerris, but after a game with a Demon Lord the Phyrexian Grasslands are withered and barren waste-lands devoid of all but a tiny almost village area home to The Nameless.

The golem did not speak, did not breath, only stood still as if awaiting orders. Tiotio saw it in detail as she had not before, as she could not on the night it had killed Eitr. The mud and filth that covered it flowed slowly, rippling across the surface of its body. Its face was a mockery of humanity. Uneven eyes hung above a bulbous nose, and sticks protruded out of its head like wild hair.

Tiotio kept Eitr behind her, pressing the creature to back away as her eyes searched for an exit. She saw only darkness and across the expanse, the Nameless leader. She did not know if there was floor in that darkness, or an open fall into nothingness.

Keres was near them, between Tiotio and the expanse that separated them from the leader. She seemed unaware of the figures before her. Her shoulders were low, her alabaster face puffy red and stained in tears. It struck Tiotio that if her own feelings could be given form, her own fears and regrets about that night in the alley when she’d lost Eitr, they would look as Keres did now.

There was something more, something that seemed to hover in the air around Keres. An after image, blurry and impossible to make out. Not a true illusion, as the room where they’d had breakfast had been, but something that surrounded Keres like a storm. Something Tiotio might not have been able to see, even if she’d been staring straight at it.

She thought then of the maze, of the tests. She thought of the surface of the lake, hiding the truth within. The room, the question, that had been the surface. Now the Nameless stirred it up, looking for what lay beneath.

Keres was limp, as if about to collapse to the floor at any moment. A puppet with string about to be cut.

“Keres,” Tiotio called, “I don’t know what’s real. Come, help me.”
