Event || In Your Worst Memory

[0301120113092025]

Characters: All Heroes of Light. Only those who signed-up can start a memory.
Where: Interdimensional Rift
When: May 27th - May 30th
Summary: The Heroes of Light relive some of their worst memories, with a twist. All characters participating in this will be physically missing from Crystallis for the duration of the event.
Warning: It depends on the memory.

Where you were or what you were doing— It does not really matter. Not any more. Everything around you freezes, nearly as if time itself stopped, as if the world was frozen in time. And before you have a chance to understand what is happening, you can hear a voice right behind you.

"Kali Shashidhwaja."

Should you turn around, you may see a child who seems to be the only one aside from you unaffected by what is happening. And as she stares right at you, it makes no doubt these strange words are aimed at you. But before you can reply to her, the world around you collapses. Reality twists and shatters... Or maybe you are the one who is collapsing and shattering away from reality as you know it. No matter what the answer is, it will only take a few seconds for you to find yourself sinking into a void, Crystallis vanishing into the distance. There is nothing but darkness as far as the eye can see.

And once again you feel different: all the powers from your Jobs are fading. Not only that, but you might find that your Crystal is gone and your clothes back to what they were before you woke up in Crystallis. It is silent, cold and before long it feels as though life itself is slipping out of you... And yet, slowly the world reforms around you. The darkness fades away and a new world appears, yet at the same time this is not a world.

This is a memory. The question is, is it yours or that of someone else?

"It is natural for a parent to grieve for a child, as a child to grieve for a parent, or a friend for a friend. Even when one dies well, that does not stop you from missing them."

"He's here though. That dream people were talking about. Some people saw themselves, some people saw someone else from their home world. I saw him here in a previous cycle. He was brought here after he died, and now a copy of him walks this world. A copy of everything but the memories, so really, a shell of him. It's disgusting."

She doesn't want to watch this whole thing play out again, so she turns her back to it. She can't help but wince at the words though.

Tazendra nodded. "I saw such a thing as well, though the person in my dream was not known to me. Does your world allow for reincarnation? I am told some can recall the memories of their previous lives, though I have not attempted it."

"I have heard people mention reincarnation, but I can't say that it is a thing. Those who mention it are usually part of one strange religion or another. Though, I do believe the country East of mine has some views on reincarnation that are different from what have heard growing up. I never put much stock into it. I suppose it might be something to look into."

"If it exists, one does not expect memories to be preserved. They can be recovered, I am told, but is far too close to mysticism for my own tastes," Tazendra said. "But something of the self persists. Whatever is tied to the soul."

"Bah, I cannot imagine that it is a comfort, save that your friend's soul exists still, and was not destroyed."

"Thinking like that brings up the question of whether or not we have really been pulled here. I'm no scholar, and it is probably best not to think too much about it. He is here, was here, at some point in these cycles here. Who knows, he might even be sent here again at some point in time."

She pauses and looks back at the group descending the stairs, then shakes her head.

"For now, I'll do something to honor his memory when we get back," she turns to look at Tazendra to thnk her, but the space aroung them is going white and they are both thrown into other dreams.
