Sinbrilee | Dreaming | Death


Life. Dreaming. Death. Three realms overlaid upon one another and yet each distinctly their own. They dwell in Life and do so live upon the back of the great turtle as those of Sinbrilee did upon the shell of his sister. However, there stand numerous arches of marble throughout the ruined city that are inlaid with runes beyond understanding. Those that live and breathe which step through those whose runes have crumbled round the etchings slowly ooze a black goo find themselves entering into the realm of Death.

Those expecting the malleable invitation of Dreaming are met by disappointment and decay. Death is final and unforgiving, having no mind or function to share its control or plan. Unpredictable to when it strikes, this realm is in a persistent state of flux of decay and regrowth. The is but one constant here: Fear.

Fear permeates the air and the mind, carrying with it misery and extreme temperatures that may shift from frigid to desert-hot in seconds. It is everywhere in the ruins that represent Sinbrilee here and it is everywhere in the city that rises at random, enjoying the height of its glory before crumbling with the eerie screams of thousands dying. Graves emerge here and there, frosted by the cold -- then suddenly, the tombstones are cracked from the wear of time.

Malicant's taint seeps into all things here and Death flourishes for it, stirring up visions and stags of one's deepest fears and the darkest parts of their lives. It holds its own parody of life, sensing intruders and acting to inspire the most terrifying heights of fear that it may. Sometimes it ebbs for a few minutes, only to renews its assault of nightmares with redoubled effort.

Fear and misery; the landscape and events play out without mind to the peace of these visitors. And yet, for every terrifyingly real detail, nothing here exists beyond this realm; 'constructs' simply fade if taken through the archways and even the greatest scientific minds or tools will reveal nothing of its source. This is an ancient magic of an ancient realm, too malicious to allow any to walk away with some trophy of it.

Note: Due to the fluid and highly individual nature of Death, no official subheaders will be provided in the comments of this post. Feel free to post and thread however you like, so long as the rules of Death are adhered to.

[Kal has to pause at that, process it. Take a while to even start to believe it. He doesn't really pay attention to the enraged people around him, his focus on Shayera.]

If you're anything like the Shayera in my world was, you'd have a reason for doing so. What was your reason, Shayera?
wingedwarrior: (Bruce you are so lucky ydek)

[Her reason. This isn't going to end well. She wraps her arms around herself, as if to offer herself protection for what's to come.] To win the war against the Gordanians.

[Kal frowns. There were a couple possibilities going through his head but that wasn't one of them.] Gordanians? The slavers? [He vaguely remembers the deal Blackfire made to slave her sister.]

Why would you that, Shayera?
wingedwarrior: (and much angst was had)

[personal profile] wingedwarrior 2013-08-21 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Why would she do that. Boy, is that ever a loaded question. Her people neeed her, she didn't know everything they were planning, there's countless reasons. But they all come down to one.] I had a duty to my people, being a lieutenant in the army.

[He hums, not really getting the whole picture but at least understanding what she means. He knew this Shayera was different from the Hawkgirl and Hawkwoman in his world, but he's beginning to get how much.]

Did you manage it? Did you manage to make Terrans into slaves?
wingedwarrior: (uhhhh are you sure you're okay)

[personal profile] wingedwarrior 2013-08-23 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
The... Terrans? [The name isn't familiar to her, she knows they weren't a part of the war. She simply shakes her head, with a confused tilt of her head.] We weren't trying to enslave anyone. Just win the war and survive. [She hangs her head dejectedly.] And even that didn't work out for the Thanagarians because of me.
