"I might not need to. If you want I could take you to Castlewood, and show it to you myself."
Jessica shrugged at Volarian and said, "Is that a common occurrence around here? Because if so, I'm sure it's just that."
"It's fine. Not like you could have known. If it comes up again, my people are called Feline." Jessica said reassuringly to Sasha. She perked up as she answered the woman's question. "Well, the first for certain, well, I know where one of them is for certain, at least. And the second is something I'm working on." She reached her left hand into her pocket and began rustling around in it as she continued. "So tell you what, I can help you get back to them. Or if you'd prefer, you and I can work on trying to fix the 'situation' as you call it from another angle. Either way, you might want to hang on to this." As Jessica finished speaking, she pulled her left hand out of her pocket and held it out to Sasha. Sitting in Jessica's hand was a small metal disc, one that was practically identical to the one Jessica had let Ness make a copy of.

"No, in fact very much the opposite. I came here of my own volition to investigate the unnatural gathering of beings not of this universe. Every so often, a disturbance will occur in time-space and summon many individuals to a single universe, usually some of them conflict with each other. I have been to most of them in order to investigate the cause."
"I suppose. We'll see what comes of it..." Savranth replies.

Volarian looked at Jessica confused. "Do you mean a phantom smell of chocolate or someone making a special order? Because the first I have never heard of and the second is fairly common."
I assure you I would never do that. /shifty eyes

Lyra glared at Rita, before pointing at her ear, then up to the beach. She used her middle finger for that procedure, before turning back and continuing the swim up, looking angry the entire way.
"Hmmm... well then... since the urgency is much less than I anticipated, I might need to spend a little more time with you to build each other's trust. If you learn it, then maybe one of your colleagues might want to learn what you've learned out of greed. Like I said, this is a double edged sword. In the early days of our civilization's exodus, The Art of Writing Ages scared a lot of people because it held a lot of power. And in some ways it still does in my time. So, I'm sorry, but I'll have to wait until I know I'm sure. I really hope you understand." He said, his breath showing a little bit of anxiety.
"That is true... we'll see."
"That is true... we'll see."
Sasha hesitantly took the disc from Jessica, then took a couple steps away as she looked at it, playing with it in her fingers."Why have a broken mirror with such a clean hole in it?" She said as she briefly looked at her reflection in it before bringing it down. "Why give me this?"
Ness continues her walk along the shoreline until she notices two figures in the water, beginning to surface. Curious, she stops and walks up onto the beach, wondering who it was.

In other news...
Back at the altar, a portal similar to the one Ness appeared in opened up. Out of it stepped a young girl with a mischievous smile seemingly plastered on her face. She sniffed the air for a moment before beginning to advance toward the extremely faint smell of... chocolate. Two foxtails swished to and fro as the girl advanced forward.
"I understand. On a later date then. I shall see if there are any other Travelers whom I have not met and are up for a chat."
Savranth nodded. "I'll be heading to bed, I think..."

The merman was rather fast in the water and quickly gained on Lyra.
"What have you done?" The merman asked, upset by what he had just witnessed.

On the shore, Athena approached behind Rita. "What just happened here?"

"Shorah, Sable. And well met. I hope to talk with you again sometime later." He said giving a definite smile. He stood up. He seems like a promising friend in this place.
"I think I'll be off to fetch the key to my room. Where's Paprika?"
"I think I'll be off to fetch the key to my room. Where's Paprika?"
"The second one. And I suppose that answers my question." Jessica replied to Volarian, sounding slightly annoyed.
Looking back at Sasha she answered, "It's not a mirror. It's a...beacon, of sorts." She had to pause for a moment to think of the word 'beacon'. "So long as you hang onto that, I can easily find out where you are. That way you don't have to worry about getting left behind again!" Her last sentence had a decent amount of enthusiasm in it in an attempt to make the idea of carrying the disc around seem more appealing. "So what's the plan going to be? Head for the others, or help me with another angle I'm working to try and fix this Dimensional Anomaly?"

Lyra pulled herself on to the beach with her hands, pulled herself up, yanked off her mask to take a rattling breath of fresh air- and let loose a stream of obsenities, gripping her side, where she claimed among other things that "that huntress damn snake broke my ribs, I wish I'd yanked the eye out instead of just stabbing it," slowly, this subsided, and she yanked out a medistick, fumbling with it as she tried to crack it in half.
Paprika and Thyme were taking up the dishes to be taken to the kitchen and cleaned.
Mint was happily waiting for her stone.

"Why would she be out to pick a fight with a sea serpent? Especially so close to mermen homes?" Athena asked.
As Lyra reached the surface, the merman soon followed. "I asked why you killed that creature?"
"That would be why I was asking..."
[hr]
"If that is all, I'll be off. We need to get everything ready for a future battle. There's no telling what may happen in this current situation." Volarian said, with a salute as he let to take care of his duties.
