equiuszahhak D --> How do you think I'm... Doing D --> Apologies, that is broad, but it is a vast sentiment

@indulgentarcher D ==> I mean, ye got yeself some sweet quads, nice style, ye seem happy enough?

equiuszahhak D --> I suppose

indulgentarcher D ==> As happy as our line can be ha

equiuszahhak D --> Perhaps. I just feel - empty, Dilwyn

indulgentarcher D ==> Almost like the void is in your blood D ==> Have you tried tapping that?

equiuszahhak D --> The void? In some ways

indulgentarcher D ==> A hollowness that stems from stagnation can be quickly changed by tapping your called on aspect D ==> Do ye wish to learn how we used the void before that game came along?

equiuszahhak D --> Yes

indulgentarcher D ==> B)c D ==> Ye live in the bubbles aye?

equiuszahhak D --> Yes, and i have felt the void within them

indulgentarcher D ==> Hear it call ye. I will find you in a quiet place D ==> I shall meet ye there, your mind will guide you B*

equiuszahhak D --> Okay [ He... Does that? ]

indulgentarcher >> It's true. His mind would guide him via the STRONG pull of Dilwyn's mayjiks in the void. It leads Equius to a deep, dark forest with bioluminescent mushrooms as the only light. Faint whispering is all around them. >> And going fourth in the clearing, there he sits on a stump, looking old and serene in an actual wizard's robe, arcane runes printed in a shimmery silver around the sleeves. He stands with his very-suspiciously-staff-like "walking stick" with a clear magical gem on it, to his full 8' 5". "Hello little one, are ye ready to hear the void's whispering call?"

equiuszahhak Equius gasped, eyes wide. What in the fresh bubbly hell? He rubbed his eyes, before shaking his head as he looked around. The sight of Dilwyn was something else, and he didn't know how to react until spoken to. "Hn. Yes." He nodded, standing just above two feet shorter than the large troll. "I am ready."

indulgentarcher >> The old fart gave him a warm smile, holding out his hand to him. "Step one, let your guard down. It's the hardest step of all usually ..."

equiuszahhak That really was. Equius took a deep breath, before sighing. He'd tapped into the void a little at a time, but not in the way this man obviously had. Sure, his guard could be let down. He'd try. Without a word, he takes his hand.

indulgentarcher Dil hummed softly as he took his hand, giving him a firm but gentle squeeze. It was a grip only a Zahhak could appreciate. "Just breathe." He coaxed as he let a low thrum of void energy start to flow from his fingertips into his descendant's. It flowed up, up, up like a cold stream of water in his veins that was definitely *weird* but not inherently painful. It spread up the side of him up to where his mind was, a whisper of "let me in" ringing quietly inside.

equiuszahhak Equius already closed eyes squinted, the cold a tingle that felt... Familiar. The echo in his mind headed, as he shivered, squeezing tighter to Dilwyn's hand. Something in him shifted, though he didn't know what, and an odd sense of calm washed over him. "And?" He asked, internally.

indulgentarcher "And hear us..." The whisper spoke louder. Suddenly the whispering wasn't alone, many voices all at once. Different times but all.... Soft... Nothing in common either. All was Eldritch. "Do you hear me?" A deep voice asked, cutting through the chattering. "Do you hear your ancestry?"

equiuszahhak Equius brows raised, as he felt in another world, in the darkness. Floating serene, like adrift at sea. "Yes."

indulgentarcher "Such a good listener!" "What a good boy!" "Yes yesss! Fresh in the blood!" Various voices whispered in pleased tones, "Have ye ever felt the tinge of grimmness touch your bones?"

equiuszahhak Equius' brows rose at the praise, somehow cute and disturbing at once. But he smiled, shaking his head. "I have not."

indulgentarcher "Do ye- Do ye want a taste? I refuse to turn ye. Just a dose...." Oh that deep, deep voice? That was Dilwyn. Jeeze. That was barely a trollish voice.

equiuszahhak Equius laughed in the face of all of that, nothing but entertained by Dilwyn's tone. This was probably the best person to do something like this with, he figured. "Yes." He finally said, a smile on his face

indulgentarcher Dil felt the joy radiate off him. Had.. had he finally found one of his bloodline who would walk this path with him? There was a flutter of unknowable joy and excitement in his stomach as his hopes raised juuust a bit. "U̷m̸b̵r̶e̸y̶t̷a̸ ̷í̶ ̷s̴k̷u̸g̶g̸a̴..." And with that, the transformation of grimdarkness would begin and those whispers where about to get a WHOLE lot louder.

equiuszahhak And they did. A wash, inundating and many. His pan was assaulted by the heady calls, mysterious ringings, and low tones of the darkness. Was this the void he'd but only glimpsed in his death? His skin tinted, his eyes darkened, and he fell to his knees.

indulgentarcher Dil weant down with him, still holding his hand firmly he swooped his tail around to offer more support to his back and carefully pulled him in close. He'd let him lean against him if he was willing. "Breathe. Breathe. Focus on me. Focus on what's outside your head now."

equiuszahhak Equius did, curling into the touch that was offered to him. He'd never felt so simultaneously in danger and safe. He pressed into Dilwyn, an aura over taking him, black eyes, a gurgle in his throat before coughing up salt water, brine. Focus, focus. Feel his warmth, listen to his voice.

indulgentarcher Dilwyn knew exactly what he was going through. He held him tight, very tight. "You are out here. Your body has to adjust. Your mind has to change with it. Tap me if it's too much, I promise it's fine."

equiuszahhak Equius nodded, not knowing where the FUCK the tentacle spilling from his mouth came from. He gagged on it, gripping into the ground, before a whole ass octopus bulged from his throat and onto the ground. His skin glowed a bit, though still dark. Deep breaths, deep breaths. The water dribbled from the side of his face, and he looked wrecked in general. Though it was starting to fade, and the voices, stronger, were becoming orderly. Looking up to Dilwyn, he offered a weak smile, staggering to stand up,

indulgentarcher Dilwyn hissed sympathetically when he finally coughed out the beast from his soul, taking care to now lift it up too in his tail to cradle it. It wasn't uncommon for a miniterror to spawn but he can't say he expected it THIS time in particular. He had a rough one. "Hey... Hey no. Stay down... Shhhh... Don't try to stand yet.'" he cooed, moving to scoop the octopi into his arms. "Congratulations! It's an abomination." He teased, hoping to ease some of the tension with humor.

equiuszahhak Equius wasn't very amused, leaning into Dil. What was the point of this? Oh, to connect with the ~void~. He coughed again, though when he tried to speak, nothing would some at first. He merely looked over the miniterror, wondering what it meant. Hopefully, the look on his face would earn an answer.

indulgentarcher Dil let out a soft chuckle, "Don't worry ain't serious. Sometimes when ye first connect ye have one of these inside ye forever. Sometimes ye cough em up. It's a 50/50 chance really. Behold the birth of a minor horror terror, whom I shall now release to it's natural habitat *promptly.* " He explained before opening up a raw portal into the void, sliding the baby in and closing it right back up. "How ye feelin' love?"

equiuszahhak Equius nodded, and tried to speak again. This time, warbled, but surely Dil wound understand. "I feel strange. Though - Like my consciousness is expanding. Dissociative, yet present more than I have my entire existence."

indulgentarcher "Welcome to seeing the bigger picture. The terrors welcome you, child of my blood, child of the void." He cooed, his hand reaching up to both cup his cheek and brush the hair clinging away from it. "They want to teach you so many things. I do as well.... How to transport objects, beings and souls through the void. How to sense another user. How to speak festertounges.... How to slip your consciousness between existence and non-existence casually... There are so many things hidden in your mind. I am very excited to teach you if you'll let me."

equiuszahhak Equius leaned into the touch, intimate and reassuring. He nodded, silent, and closed his eyes. "Please teach me."

indulgentarcher "wonderful..... Ah- we could start by simple object displacement. I will warn ye there's still a chance of this form getting too much as you explore your power. Do tell me, because I know this form can be very hard on the newly awakened..." He cooed, thumbing his face so gently. He would take Precautions damnit. "... Ah but, before displacement actually ... First let's try this. Hold your hand out... Try to manifest a little blob of the void in your palm...." He coaxed, doing just that. A stable, swirling little blob of void hanging just above his palm.

equiuszahhak Equius squinted at the warbling mass, before nodding. He took a breath, steadying himself on his knees. He... thinks about it? Channels it?

It isn't immediate, but a tadpole-esque shape swims to life in his hand, circular. It flattens itself out over time, hazy at the edges and pitch black, looking almost like portal than what Dil had. "Is - is this it?"

equiuszahhak "What it should be?"

indulgentarcher He chuckled, shaking his head. "it doesn't have to be anything exactly. Just a form. Ye've done it here! Ye did very well for the first go too!" He chimed, tail thumping- oh yes. His tail wagged like a dog's. "When ye get more practice ye can do things like this...." He mused as he made the voidy blob in a ball that he played with almost like a waterbender as he swirling it in the air around his hands, keeping the shape ever moving like water. "You are learning to control chaos by giving it order."

equiuszahhak That... sounded lovely. Equius felt like he'd been trying to go that his whole live, unlife. Give order to things that didn't want it, control things that didn't need controlling safe for himself. But this... Yes, this was something he could do. By now, the form vanished from his hand. It took some energy, for sure. "You are right, this is tiring. One more time." He nodded, trying to bring the mass back. This time it sputtered like inverse fire flies, flitting around his hand, dissipating. He slumps, breathing hard, tapping Di's leg. "I think I am spent."

indulgentarcher Dil chuckled softly, putting his hands on both of his cheeks and whispering, "V̵e̷r̸ð̷a̸ ̷h̷o̶l̴d̴ ̴a̸f̵t̴u̸r̷" The process in reverse was still a bit tiring but significantly less shitty. "Ye eat meat little one?"

equiuszahhak He shook his head, "I do not." Letting all his weight fall into the hands that held his face, exhausted and drained. It was like he couldn't move at all, not that he wanted to try anyway.

indulgentarcher What was it with his descendant's and not eating meat??? Damn herbivores. More for him. "I got granola in my syladex then, here...." He told him, plopping a clearly meant for children granola in his hand-" ah wait that's.... Uh. That's my kids snack ones.... Hold on hold on....." Watch this old man flip through the most cluttered syladex you'll ever see. Oh look adult food. "Ok here." There we go, adult troll sized Granola bar. With chocolate chips of course. "Ye need to eat something trust me."

equiuszahhak Equius laughed weakly at that, languid as he settled into the ground, opening the *correct* granola bar. "Thank you." He huffed, taking it in small bites. "How... Often do you think this will happen?" He shuddered at the thought of another venture, but hoped that another little beast wouldn't fall out of him. Oh, that was weird.

indulgentarcher "Mmm, as often as ye want it to. We can make it into a weekly training session if ye like? It gets easier with practice." He noted, scrolling back to pull out some jerky. Snap, snarfle, crunch the old man was DEFINITELY less civil than most folks.

equiuszahhak Equius didn't mind, not as much as he would have used to. Dil had certainly proved himself a force to recon with. Finishing his bar, sprawled on the ground, Equius didn't see why the fuck not. "Okay."

indulgentarcher "Wonderful!.... What the fuck day is it?? ....ahhhh... Oh! It's Wednesday, apparently. How about every Wednesday then ah? We can play by ear for the time I guess." He suggested, laying down right next to him. "Ye did really well this time little one. Ye show great promise."

equiuszahhak Equius nodded, burping as the last of the salt water in his system dribbled down his cheek. How embarrassing... "I am... Glad you think so." A pause, as he closed his eyes, fingers laced over his chest. "I believe it would be good to practice, yes." So he didn't end up on the ground like this every time
