<b>Those who chose to take the path along the cliff</b> soon found themselves surrounded. There are monsters of every shape and size, and they are torn to pieces, each moment seeming an eternity of excruciating pain.
Then there is blackness. It turns to grey.
Slowly, very slowly, they will feel themselves coming back together in the endless nothing. Well, almost back together. Some part of them is missing, some part they hadn’t ever really been aware they had. They will wake, at last, on the Beach - perhaps seeing some of the ghostlike visages of those who had tried to rescue the entities. They
<b>Those who chose the river</b> will find the others waiting there: Firion, Leilan, Flower, and Volos. But there are monsters here as well, and during the long battle that follows, the four of them are injured and all are eventually pushed back into the river.
The water is deep, so incredibly deep that as they sink the pale light of the afterworld above them fades, and then vanishes entirely. The sinking turns to falling, and the blackness to light, and then they are standing in front of the same multi-eyed fae that had led them to the Afterlife.
But it is not quite the same, for something about it has changed, becoming inexplicably <i>more</i>. When it speaks, its voice is both barely audible and painfully loud, heard as much in their minds as their ears.
The distraction they have provided given the fae time to create a solution. It is not a flawless solution, and it is one that will have reverberating effects on every sentient creature. But it is the only solution. The entities are lost beyond hope, but Beqanna is not.
Beqanna has always given each of her children a part of her magic, but for this feat to work, they must take a bit of it back. Beqanna has never done this before, and they do not know the consequences, only that the end result will be successful.
Are you willing to take the risk?
<i>Some notes:
- horses who chose the cliff have been eliminated; further details about what happened to your characters and what the consequences are will in the final quest post
- remaining characters must describe fighting the monsters, falling into the river, and finding Beqanna
- post must end with a clear answer as to whether your character is willing to help Beqanna despite unknown consequences. There is no wrong answer
- posts must be no more than 1000 words
- Entries are due by 11:59 PM CST on Sunday, April 4th (aka Sunday night just before midnight)
