[Room 1-18] Panic. That was the first thing Capell felt because he couldn't move, couldn't breathe. Couldn't scream. It didn't last long but it was long enough. With a gasp he sat up in bed.

Bed... that wasn't right. Why would he be in bed? He was cutting the chain... He looked round the room, squinting at the harsh, seemingly unnatural light. This looked like no inn he had ever been in before, even ignoring the fact him being in an inn was impossible.

He was dressed in some tight, restrictive material and he had something around his neck. A collar of some sort.

There was a note on the side and he picked it up, reading the two lines quickly before sitting heavily back on the bed.

His world... destroyed. No. Capell crumpled the letter. It couldn't be so...

[Elevator] At least this was something he understood, even if it was much slower than the ones he had known. Slower and strange. He stood silently, wondering why it stopped every twenty floors, and what was between them. He should have probably taken the stairs, he needed to look at the whole of this place, to look for his friends.

[Floor Eighty One] Capell stood by the window, not sure he was brave enough to step onto the glass. He stared up at the stars, not recognising any of them at all and then down into the fog. So far though he had seen many people, he knew none of them. If he had been rescued, surely his friends, who had been so close to him would have been too.

He couldn't give up hope, he had not gone far, there were many other places to look yet.

Comments

[lightofhumanity]

Inwardly, chaos sighed, and any trace of a smile that was still on his face was now gone.

"I am sorry to say that that is exactly what I mean."

[regenleif]

Capell shook his head, "But..." Everyone? Everyone in the entire world? Everything they had fought to protect. "Why would they save me?"

[lightofhumanity]

"I am not sure. I believe the selection was random, but if they did pick people, I cannot say why. But, now that you are here..perhaps you can help some people here save others."

[regenleif]

Sorry Chaos, Capell is still reeling from the realisation that all his friends are dead. His hands tighten into fists and he takes a step back barely hearing what the man is saying to him.

"They can't be gone..."

[lightofhumanity]

Inwardly, chaos sighed again. He knew that this was a normal reaction..but that did not make it any less painful to watch. chaos took a step forward and tried to put a hand on the person's shoulder.

"I do not know that they are. It is possible that we may be able to restore the universes..and there is some evidence that the souls of our friends may not be destroyed."

[regenleif]

Capell blinked at him, still in shock. Everyone... in the entire world. It was a lot to take in.

"What evidence?" His voice was harder, more commanding.

[lightofhumanity]

chaos caught the change in his voice. While the whole incident was painful, he had to know.

"Recently, large groups of shadows appeared to many people in the Tower, acting and speaking like people we knew from home. It is arguable that they are the souls of those we knew."

[regenleif]

"Shadows?" Capell frowned, "Acting like people from home. Are they still here?"

[lightofhumanity]

"They are. They are not as numerous as they were before, but they have not left."

[regenleif]

"Where can I find them?"

He looked intently at the white haired man.

[lightofhumanity]

And chaos would just give the person a serious and sad look as he spoke.

"..I shall not tell you, for they will hurt and kill you. While I cannot force you to, I can advise you to not go looking for him."

[regenleif]

Capell frowned, he had not mentioned hurting and killing... "What do you mean by that?" His friends wouldn't hurt him, not even Edward, not any more.

[lightofhumanity]

He hadn't, but it was mostly because chaos didn't like talking about the shadows and what had happened.

"That..is what I mean. Again, please, do not seek them out. It shall only bring pain to you."

[regenleif]

Capell's eyes hardened, "If the souls of my friends are here, then even if they bring me pain I will seek them out."

[lightofhumanity]

"Again, I shall not stop you from doing so. But I did say that it was arguable, debatable, that they were the souls of those we knew from home. I did not say that they were the souls of our friends."

And chaos's serious gaze didn't waver as he spoke.

[regenleif]

Capell really wished this person would talk plainly rather than in circles. "So they might not be?"

[lightofhumanity]

Sorry, Capell. chaos did that when he didn't want to talk about something or when the subject matter was something uncomfortable to him.

"They may not. But there is a chance they could be. It is debatable until we learn more."

[regenleif]

"Right." Capell nodded, planning to do just that, and learn more. "I'm Capell by the way."

[lightofhumanity]

"It is nice to meet you, Capell. I am chaos."

Feel free to think that the name was weird.

[regenleif]

It was a bit weird, but Capell had a friend who was a bear, he considered a lot more things normal than he used to. "Nice to meet you Chaos."

[lightofhumanity]

Which was good, as the Tower would probably be quite weird to those who weren't used to oddities.

"Yes, that it is..if you do not mind my asking, is there anything else you're curious about here?"

[regenleif]

Capell laughed, "Most things honestly. Is it true not everyone has Lunaglyph's here?"

[lightofhumanity]

At the question, chaos chuckled a little bit with Capell and shook his head.

"Since I do not know what a Lunaglyph is in your universe, I would have to say that they do not. If you do not mind my asking, is it a glyph that is shaped like the moon?"

[regenleif]

"A glyph given power by the moon." He told him, "Or rather the god of the moon. Most people have them, depending on what phase of the moon they were born under, it grants them powers, like healing or extra strength in battle, seeing in the dark, that sort of thing."

[lightofhumanity]

The god of the moon..while chaos had heard of similar beliefs in his universe, he didn't actually know that there was a universe where powers granted by the moon existed.

"I understand. That does not exist in my universe, and I imagine that it will not for other people here."
