Snippet #2484728

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.

Azien's mind rested on each of them in turn, spending less than a second weighing each recruit before turning to another, then another. Each faced something that they both dreaded and longed for. They longed for love, for vengeance, for a chance to set things right, for kind words that would never come from the forms before them. Each confrontation happened simultaneously, they stood only inches from each other, but were blind to everything but their own trials.

As he watched, hands folded in front of him, many turned away from their trial, unimpressed with the subterfuge. He did not speak. He did not move. Their will was strong, but their resistance did not tell him what he needed to know. He knew he risked isolating them with is next choice, hardening them against him, but he must do it. If he did not test them, he would never know if they could be trusted to guard his chosen family.

He pushed his will out, a simple delicate thought, and it touched the mind of the one who formed the shadows, controlled the illusions of the trial.

Again, events happened in an instant, none of the recruits able to see the whole picture only the images the shadows formed in their eyes.

Aera Kirishimaโ€™s blade was still in the air, not even an inch past the now dissipated image of her master, when it clanged hard against metal. It was a shovel, in the hands of the gravedigger.

So sudden was this change, that she could not reacted before his arm was around her, wrenching her forward, throwing her to the ground.

โ€œYou would allow such a thing? This is how far my son has fallen?โ€ The words were a harsh yell, shouted across the stone platform to where Pravus stood, his back turned, โ€œA lifeless thing wanders the earth, stricken and in pain, and you do nothing to end her suffering? You abandon me, abandon your duty, fine! But I will not. I will put this creature to rest!โ€
