(I don't really see how it would, unless it's this sort of "some things must break to build others" type of thing, or Aesera gains something out of it breaking. I'm personally guessing that breaking the necklace will help complete the sword, but I have no idea how that would help Aesera. Although, that would be too obvious.)

(Edit: Oh, so that's what it does. Well, staying in character is more important than going out of your way to do something for my characters' sake, so I guess we'll just see how things pan out.)

Gale stared at the woman for a second before responding.  She was certainly blunt.  It's like she can read my mind...which is something only a person in a dream would do...although this could all be confirmation bias...ugh.

"Naturally.  Regardless of the nature of this world, if it's real or a dream, I'm not going to do anything reckless.  If it's real, obviously I'm going to treat it as such.  I'm not sure why I would do otherwise.  If it's a dream, it's certainly a structured and detailed dream.  It wouldn't be hard at all to treat it like reality."

Orin rolled her eyes.  "Of course it's real.  Gensokyo's totally normal...not sure what type of world you lived in."

(Yes, it would help the both of you, and breaking the necklace would only be a good choice if you're in danger and Kanako is about to die or something like that.)

Nanaya doesn't seem to take notice of the two of you following her. Maybe she doesn't know, or maybe she doesn't care. Either way, it's better, since she would'nt bash the hell out of you if you're with Nazrin. As the two of you walk deeper into the woods, you pass by many streams, rivers, and lakes, eventually coming to the foot of a Mountain. Nanaya hasn't spoken to the two of you, and you start to doubt the two of you were noticed by her.

"Hmm. The Aki sisters arn't here. Whatever." Nanaya goes over to a tree, and slumps on it, looking up to the mountain. "What do I see, what do I see... I see Moriya Shrine." Nanaya says to herself.

It's amazing how the shrine's so noticable even though it's on a mountain that's so high up. Usually there woudl be mist, but I guess the Tengu cleared it. You watch as Nanaya nods to herself.

"Um... weren't we heading for the Hakurei Shrine, not the Moriya Shrine...?" Nazrin ventured. "I mean, in all fairness, I've never been there myself, but it doesn't seem that that's where we're headed now."

"Well, if you've never been there, you don't know if we're going the right way. I'm sure you know where you're going, Nanaya.)

OOC: Got it.
 
-------------------------
 
"One where your 'normal' is our 'impossible'," Aesera said. "Youkai, magic, none of that exists. Kanako tells me that she used to reside in the outside world, though."

"I did," Kanako said, "but faith in gods is fading from the outside world, which left me with no choice but to come here."

Gods need faith in order to exist. Good to know. "Anyways, Orin, she could probably give you a better accounting of the differences than I can, since she's actually lived in Gensokyo for a while now. I think, though, that we should save that for another time.For now, I think it's more important that Gale and I learn the basics of this world, because not only are we new here, but given from our experiences with the whatever-the-hell-it-was connecting events, something's going on that's abnormal even by Gensokyo's standards-Kanako was visibly shaken after we experienced the event-and we're involved in it. And the more we know, the better our chances of making it through whatever's going on. So let's get moving. We're heading to the Hakurei Shrine."

"right," Kanako said. "Orin, lead the way. I'll give you two the basics as we move."

"W-Wh-at?" Nanaya freezes, slowing turning her head to see you and Nazrin, looking confused. "W-W-What are you doing here?!" Nanaya jumps up from the ground, clenching her right fist. She's angry, really angry, and you don't know why. Calm down, Nana. This is not the time to be fighting your friends. Nanaya releases her clenched fist, her body's shaking a little.

"I-I thought you were still in the village, eating, relaxing or something..." Nanaya looks down as she says this, before snapping her head back up to face you. "Who said you could follow me!?" Nanaya bites her lip to prevent herself from shouting anymore.

Learn to calm down, Nana. I hate to see myself be angry. And you know what happens when we're angry, don't you?

"S-So... What do you want?" Nanaya folds her arms across her sizable chest. "...It's important, right? If not why would you follow me?" She turns to face Nazrin. "And, something just told me to wait here."

Newan blinked in surprise. "Wait, what? We told you we had no reason to stay in the village, so we followed you. You're the one who's supposed to be leading us to the shrine, remember?"

"Hold on... something told you to wait here? What kind of something?" Nazrin interjected. I didn't see anyone talk to her in the human village... Maybe it was back at the temple?

"Look, if you wanted us to stay behind, you could have at least said something like 'I need to run some errands before we get going, feel free to hang around the village if you want.' The way you were putting it, you were practically telling us that staying in the village would be a waste of time." Newan continued.

Nazrin shot him a 'don't provoke her' glare, but he didn't seem to notice.

----This is the Chaotic Reversal
---All will Tremble,
--Within The Walls Of Nothingness,
-To burn and sear Forever,
And Nevermore.
Till there will be no more.

----BGM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl45Qa4ntBw

"Enough!" A mighty, clawed fist slams on the black armrest, sending cracks throughout the throne, shaking the earth itself. "Your impudence shall be the death of you." The being raises it's finger, and the servant in front of it, a human, is sent flying to a wall and back to face the thing. With a snap of it's finger, the human's body twitches, spasms, before erupting into blood, slowly spewing all of what it once contained onto the rocky floor. With a flick of it's hand, a white, humanoid shape is forced out of the blood by black tentacles that had been flung down from the celling, grabbing onto the limbs of the white humanoid. The soul is presented to the being.

"Such a delicate little piece... Of burning shit!" The being slams it's fist down again, and the soul is set on fire, screaming in pain. But the soul's screams cannot be heard. Just a silent, wavering humanoid, rolling on the floor till it's burnt into blackness. The being slants down on it's throne, as the tentacles extended from the celling retreat into it's crevices.

"Well well, since my servants have, failed me, let's see you try to come here, puny little shit." There's nobody in the hall except the creature and a tall, sword-wielding knight. The knight faces the gap in the floor from a distance, his pure black armor shining as the little light that can penetrate the walls shine through. his helmet completely covers his face, leaving only a small gap for his eyes. But in that gap, stares no eyes, only a cold, everburning blue flame. His sword, decorated with much majestic jewels, has all but been tainted in black. It's long, slender, edged blade is slightly worn from combat, but no matter. It can still cut through a diamond cleanly.

The knight grabs his black, skull-decorated shield from the floor, gripping it tighter as the sound of machinery moving grows louder. Soon, a hollowed-out elevator rises from the gap in the floor, and there standing, is a man, about 26 years of age, wearing white armor, covered in Crystal. His helmet looks similar to the black knights, only that it has crystals on it's back and front. The man pulls out his sword, a red, jagged blade with a wicked edge to it. Gungnir...

"Oh, wearing the armor I gave you, and using that... sword, from Azeri?" The being on the throne chuckles as the black knight goes into battle position. "Don't worry, I'll return that blade to Azeri. He wants to give that to some child in... Gensokyo, anyway." As the white-armored man walks forward, the being on the throne speaks once again.

"So, It has been many centuries since you had dared to challenge me. So tell me, what do you call yourself now? I commend you for your bravery."

"So, Hero, tell me, give me that epic speech of yours." The being laughs in a deep, deafening voice.

"I am the voice of freedom! I will bring an end too this madness, and return you to your former self... Katelin..."

"Wahahaha! My former self? There is no Katelin, only Chaos! You give such a... bold reply, and one of the most entertaining I've ever heard."

The being folds it's arms across it's chest. "You will do nicely."

---BGM : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlgZSGlqLZY

The Black Knight and the white warrior take their respective stances, and ready themselves. "Begin." The being's voice erupts from it's throat like a volcano, such a strong command it has.

The black knight takes the first move, jumping in the air as easily as an aerobic expert could, even in that heavy, tainted armor. With a massive swing, his sword is sent flying downwards along with his body, attemping to crush the white warrior in one blow. The warrior expertly grabs onto the sword right before it connects, spinning around it and stabbing the knight in the waist, but before the quick stab could even reach his armor, the knight had thrown his shield into the chest of the warrior, sending him flying to a pillar of tentacles.

The knight gets into battle position, calling his shield back to him as it lands on the floor, before floating to his hand. The white warrior gives a charge towards the black knight, and the knight retaliates with a backhand slash. The blade of the warrior's sword and the hilt of the knight's own connect, but the knight, even in that heavy armor, manages to spin around the white warrior, causing his blade to pierce the armor on his back, although not harming him, there's now a spot open in the warrior's armor.

The warrior jumps back as the knight prepares to swing again, and as a result, the slash completely misses. Taking this window of opportunity, the warrior slashes the Knight's chest, but there's no mark, not even a scratch. The knight then throws his shield towards the warrior, making his block with his sword. As the warrior pushes the shield away, the black knight uses both arms to swing his sword down. But just in time, the warrior raises his own sword, blocking the blow completely.

As the knight stumbles, the warrior pushes his entire body forward, ramming the knight's breastplate and making a dent, before slashing the life out of him. But before he could even touch his flesh within that armor, through a line he just made in the knight's armor, the Knight turns, before sending a roundhouse kick to the warrior's face, and hitting his sword out of his hand.

---

"Enough." The being says, "You are a cunning warrior. One that fights with strength and skill. You have improved since our last battle, but not enough." The being jumps down from his throne, nearing the warrior. "We have found our Catalyst."

The being waves it's hand as it walks closer to the white warrior. A flash of bright, yellow and blue light emits from his hand, before an implosion of darkness overtakes it. A magnificent blade appears in it's hand.

"The Infinity Blade. The God Killer. The corrupted version of my Elemental Godsword." The being swings the blade around lightly, and it cuts the air with silence. "It took me a millennia to corrupt it. To unravel it's secrets..." The being draws closer to the white warrior, who is now, completely unarmed and to the mercy of the being.

---BGM : Repeat above^

"And finally, after all this time, I can..." The being stabs the warrior, right through his chest. There's no metal-clashing sound. Nothing at all. It slices cleanly through, all the way, like how a knife would cut through soft butter. A flash of blue and yellow light ruptures from the warrior's body, before sinking into the black sword, as the being pulls the Infinity Blade out. The warrior colapses onto his knees, and his body begins disintigrating while he is alive.

"The blade has tasted your blood. It now has your essence, your prowess, your soul." A surge of energy enters through the being's body. "Ahh, a strong one indeed - your progeny will serve me well." The being turns and walks to his throne. "Hybrid is dead. One of the Guardians of the Elemental Plane has fallen. And soon, with time, all will be mine..." The being throws off it's black cloak, revealing a ghoul-like creature, like an eldrich abomination, with multiple, green skulls around it, floating... You cannot grasp it's true form...

"Soon, Chaos will rule all."


-End

---Nanaya

"W-What? Y-You don't have to know who told me to wait here! Ok!?" Nanaya's angry again, and that was to Nazrin. Nanaya turns to face Newan, looking even angrier. "AND YOU!" You flinch. Oh what have you done wrong.

"Don't tell me the obvious crap, alright!? I just wanted to be alone! Alone so that I could think! Alone so that I can figure out myself! I...I..." Nanaya looks downs, before turning up to you again. "I would've come back later! Later... and to get you guys to come... With Mima and Rumia... S- So..." Nanaya clenches her fist really tightly now.

"So don't tell me what I should've done!" She raises her fist to punch you, but stops right as the fist reaches your cheek. You feel the air being pressed out of you from just fear itself. The air that gushed onto you cheek actually stings a bit. "D-Don't... tell me w-what to do..."

Nanaya turns, and begins running up the mountain. You should really go apologise. Again. Oh, you.

Nazrin sighed, "See? I told you not to provoke her."

Newan turned to her, an angry smile on his face. "Yeah. I got that. Thanks."

He turned towards the mountain. So bipolar... it's not even funny. He began running up the mountain after her. "Hey, Nanaya! Wait!"

After he was out of earshot, Nazrin chuckled to herself. "And now, to find out what really goes on between those two." She began silently following them up Youkai Mountain.

Nanaya had run up a considerable distance, and now sits under a big tree, hugging her knees. And that's what happens when the person you long for scolds you.

"It's not my damn fault!" Nanaya says to herself. I know it's not, Nana. I know...

"Why did he have to be part of Xera anyway. Not like I can control myself. Psh." Nanaya doesn't know that she's crying. Oh the irony. Don't cry, Nana. It's never your fault.

"C-C-Crying? W-Who's crying!? Damnit Katelin!" Nanaya wipes her eyes. "It's always your fault." Nanaya pouts. Hehe, sorry then. We're one, anyway.

"Not like we can help it, right?" Nanaya sniffs. Yeap. Sadly, the others can't communicate with their human parts.

Nanaya sits by herself, next to a stream under a tree, and you, after frantically trying to find her, finally discover her. You can still see her tears. Aww, did you hurt her so much? Maybe It wasn't you.

Newan sighed, then got on the ground before Nanaya and bowed. "I'm very sorry, Nanaya. I really didn't mean to be so mean with that. It's just... I was irritable. I just want to go home, and even though you really didn't do anything wrong... That's why I snapped at you."

---

Nazrin smirked from behind the tree she was hiding in. Standing before her was a small mouse. Alright, little guy. See the big-jobs? I want you to go watch them for me, okay? I promise there's food in it for you.

The mouse gave the mouse version of a salute, then ran over to watch Newan and Nanaya. Time to be my eyes and ears, little guy.

(OOC: What are you talking about? Of course Nazrin has mouse clairvoyance.)

(Actually, you can choose to return to the normal world for some time after we reach Hakurei Shrine. YOU MAY HAS FAR SIGHT. BUT I HAS GMPAWAH.)

"It's not like you can go home anyway." Nanaya's voice is soft. "You're here for a reason. Something incredible and stuff. I doubt you can go home just like that." Nanaya stops hugging her legs and pushes them out. Her skirt's dirty now. "As long as you apologise then it's alright, I guess. Luckily I didn't kill you."

You're relieved. "...Yet." Nanaya adds. The fear just got back into you.

"Erh, sit with me. I have to wait for some people to come here anyway. Someone told me that they're more humans then just you. And they have experienced the same thing as you and Nazrin. And me. I don't really know why though. That someone didn't tell me the fully story."

"Damn hell..." She mumbles to herself. You'll find out in time, Nana. If I tell you, I'll get detected anyway. Nanaya pouts as you sit next to her. "Anythin' you wanna ask or something?"

Nazrin watched the scene unfold. Ehehehe... I can feel it coming.

As Newan sat down, the fear fluctuated. Yes, she invited him to sit with her, so she couldn't be that mad, but on the other hand he was sitting right next to the most pain-inducing person he'd ever met. "Um... well, I guess I do have a question." [/i]No no no it's not worth the trouble no it'll be fine don't worry.[/i] "...Um, how do I put this? Er... why do you... hit me so much?"

He winced in anticipation of the slap that he knew was coming. Dammit dammit dammit

Click.

It was midday. The sky as blue as it could ever be, the sun sparkling bright in the sky, an odd cloud could be spotted every now and again floating past existance.

A girl in her teens was inside the house, rustling throught he only belongings she had. She grabbed objects like a lighter, some money, a bottle for water, and other things one would find useful during a hike. With a great sigh of relief the girl stood up looking pleased with the bag she had packed. One could say she was going for a hike, and they'd only be half wrong. This girl just shy of mature age was preparing for her departure from this hell house, a place she never wanted to be in the first place.
"...All ready" the girl whispered to no one in particular. She slung the bag over her and positioned it to her side. After a brief check, she nodded her head and made her way outside. The girl walked right out of the home without any hesitation. She strode with pride as she quickly made distance between herself and the house, and before not too long, the house was out of sight.

Her name was Ranna, but most didn't know that, as she often called herself just Ren.
Ranna walked along the road with no destination in mind. All she had planned was that she was going to leave and never come back, and that, she had already done.
After atleast an hour of walking, Ranna came to a turn off that seemed rather abandonned. Curiousity told her to take the turn off and go up a path lined by trees. She obeyed and pushed on. After climbing a steep hill, she came across an old worn road blemished with cracks. She walked on until she came to an opening in the trees, and there she stopped and took in the scenery. A great waterfall lied in her line of sight. It sparkled as it rushed and trickled among the many stones that made it's magnificent structure.
A thought quickly passed through Ranna's mind.

Paradise.

Nanaya turns to you as you ask that question. She narrows her eyes, before turning away. She's silent. Too silent. Your fear is gone, for now, since she isn't slapping you. Or maybe shes waiting for you to put your guard down just like now. And she could just kill you. Right about now. You start wincing again, hoping that she doesn't utterly rip you to shreds. No response. Nothing. Only silence. You open your mouth, attempting to say something, but as you turn your head...

Nanaya isn't there.

You turn yet again, and this time, you see Nanaya sitting in front of you, facing you. Her face is close to yours. So close. You can feel her warm breath on your face as she stares into your eyes. This will, is uncomfortable. Your body's stiff now, and, with her so close to you, you feel another part of your body getting stiff. She continues staring into your eyes. You stare back.

You see it again. Anger. Sadness. Loneliness. and then, flithy blackness. You can't see anymore beyond that. Her face reaches even closer. Her lips are so close, you can almo- There, you see it. In the filth in her eyes, the longing, for you. Just for you. You don't know why, but there are two girls, identical, sitting back-to-back, hugging their legs, with darkness all ar-

Nanaya pulls her head back, and then stands up.

"Maybe you'll know why I always hit you. Maybe not." Nanaya turns to face the mountain path going up. She then leans on the tree, beside you.



---Ranna

You decide to sit and admire the waterfall before continuing on your trek up the mountain. You walk closer and closer to it, before sitting at the edge of a cliff, looking forward at the waterfall. As you admire it's splendor, you think you see darkness from under the pool of water. You ignore it and just admire the water as it glistens in the sunlight. You close your eyes for a moment, and you feel that you're falling... Falling.... falling... You open your eyes, and you're falling down the cliff, beside the waterfall, into the sharp rocks bellow. Just that... those arn't rocks...

Gigantic, eye tentacles rupture the earth, reach out and try to grab you, blood-red, stream-lined eyes emerge from all around you, as you decend further and further into the dark abyss. Then, a glow of light... Green light, Blue... Purple... You fall to the ground, or more likely, a tree. You're on a tree. The only tree here. Plus, you're surrounded by bamboo.

You are in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost. Welcome to Gensokyo.

(Haha, I rushed this and made it slightly crappy. Sorry.)

No. This can't... this isn't... Should I? If I told her now... no, I don't even know if it is. She's probably teasing me. Mocking me. But... her eyes... And there were two of her? And, that feeling... I have to tell her now. "Umm, Nanaya, the thing is-"

He was cut off by the loudest squeak he had ever heard. "TYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~"

Nazrin grabbed her mouth. Crap. Crap crap crap crap cr-

"Hiya, Naz." came a voice from over her shoulder.

She looked over to see Newan smiling that same angry smile. "What're you doing over here?"

Nazrin looked down, poking her fingers together. "Well, um... you guys were taking awhile, so I came to check on you. Y-yeah, that's it."

"Thank you." Alice took her lamprey with one hand, paying Mystia with the other. "Reimu... does her job well. Her ends justify the means, so I don't complain much." Alice sighs a bit, taking a bite into her lamprey. Alyssa reluctantly takes the other lamprey, smelling it a bit. She recognises the smell as the fragrance that had tantalised her senses earlier on. The look is disagreeable, but she took a small bite of it, enjoying it thoroughly. However, as she was still quite full from the dinner earlier on, she gave the rest of her lamprey to Marisa, who eagerly chomped down on it.

"Anyway, answering your earlier question..." Alice continued reluctantly, remembering that odd incident again which was extremely odd. "Yes, Alyssa, this little girl here, and I had went through the same event..." She sighed as she turned to Marisa. "And Marisa, who brought Alyssa to me, is going to accompany us to Reimu's shrine. Something must be going on and we've got to fix it." Alice paused for a while, gathering her thoughts after telling Mystia her story. "So... what're you planning to do now? We don't mind company."

Alyssa looked at the lamprey Marisa was eating, thinking how odd it looked. "What're lampreys?" Alyssa asked all of a sudden, breaking the flow of the conversation.
Helloo world! Would you like a cookie?

"Meh. Let's just wait here then. It's gonna take some time for the other people to arrive anyway. I didn't bring anything along with me, so if you have any food, give me some of it." Nanaya leans back on the tree, as Newan sits beside her and Nazrin stands, thinking about what happened earlier.

"So, what's there to do while we wait? Since I have no idea how long it'll take for them to reach." Nanaya asks, fiddling with a tree branch, seemlingly not caring about anything else.

"Well, I think I have some cheese," Nazrin muttered, as she rummaged through her pack. "Ah- here," she said, handing a wedge to Nanaya.

"I honestly don't have any ideas either. I guess Nazrin and I could go back to the village for a bit, but then you wouldn't have anything to do." I wonder why she didn't hit Nazrin there...

Could this be real?  I suppose that doesn't matter, at least right now.

Orin left his side to head to the front of the group.  "Alright!  To the Hakurei Shrine we go!"

As they walked, Kanako gave the requested overview of Gensokyo. She told Aesera and Gale about the different kinds of youkai. She told them about the variety of powers and abilities found throughout Gensokyo. She told them of realms such as Makai and the netherworld. She mentioned several notable individuals, including but not limited to: Keine, the human village's protector; Yukari, the Youkai of Boundries; Byakuren, the long-sealed Buddhist monk; the vampire Remilia; Kaguya, the moon princess; the nuclear raven Utsuho; and of course the shrine maiden Reimu Hakurei and magician Marisa Kirasame. Aesera found the information about Marisa to be particularly noteworthy. A human with no power who learned to use magic. That would seem to imply that I could do the same. It sounds like it would be a good idea to find this woman.

"Thank you, Kanako," Aesera said. "I think that about answers my immediate questions. I'll ask if I have any other questions. Gale, is there anything in particular you'd still like to know?"

"Yes," said Gale.  "You said that you came here from our world, Kanako.  Just how did you arrive here?"

This Reimu character certainly seems like she can't stay out of trouble.  And apparently she created some sort of spell card system?  She sounds like more of a god than Kanako is.  If this world really was real, you'd think the gods would have just a little more power.  Of course, the fact that there are gods to begin with should be proof enough this place is just a dream...

Reimu's probably a good person to meet, too, Aesera thought. Another human with a good deal of power, although it doesn't sound like she had to work at it as hard as Marisa. Sounds like she has some sort of influence over Gensokyo. Makes her sound kind of like a god, although she is a shrine maiden, so there may be divine power at work there. Kanako, a god of the sky, has power over the wind and the rain; Reimu may be channeling a god of something else. Or maybe it's because of her shrine's connection to the border, and thus Gensokyo's seperate existence. I doubt she could change something like that with just whatever power she has on her own; it sounds like she gets substantial power from being the Hakurei Maiden.

"That wasn't too hard," Kanako said. "Suwako, Sanae, and I just focused what remained of our power and took our shrine through the barrier. I doubt you could understand a more detailed explanation."

"I certainly don't think I could," Aesera said. "What you've already said is enough. I may have more questions later, but I'm satisfied for now."
