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?

Robin wasn't down for the count, at least. While Validar didn't notice that Ales had moved behind a column, she had, and she knew that meant that she needed to buy him a little time. She raised her hand and fired another blast of lightning. This time, Validar ducked to the side; the bolt of energy slammed into the wall instead, exploding off it.

Validar sneered cruelly at her, lifting his hand. "Enough! I will end this charade here!"

Darkness swirled and gathered around his hand. It pulsed with a dark energy, as he began to prepare a more fearsome spell -- but his back remained turned to Ales.

The ropes were tightened. Validar was distracted. It was now or never. With the path clear of fighters, he heaved the contraption into the arms and makes for Validar. At one point, his gathered dark energy pulsed out, sending a slight gust that causes Ales' hat to tip over, but he took a slit second to stop and correct it.

He slowed to a walk once he reached the dark mage, just in case he could notice someone approaching with that magic sense of his. Ales rests one end of the weapon on the flow, aims it, then pulls the lever.

Validar prepared to throw his arm in Robin's direction. "Begone!" A sharp pain overtook him, and he let go the spell in shock. Instead of hitting Robin, it went straight to the floor by a small flock of Risen, turning half of them into duster and the rest flying off into different directions.

Validar bellowed in shock, as he obliterated some of his own Risen. One of the ones fighting Chrom vanished in bursts of dust, as the sorcerer screamed and groaned in pain. Robin wasn't quite prepared with her own spell, but the Ylissean lord saw and opening and took it.

With Ales distracting Validar, there was nothing to keep him from stopping Chrom. The blue-haired man charged, leaped, and did a midair spin . Falchion swept down, and struck into -- and through -- Validar's torso.

The mage groaned, collapsing to the ground in a heap.

Chrom watched him fall, then turned his head, and looked sideways at Ales. "You did well, friend," he said. "We're in your debt."

Ales stepped back, and not a moment later, Chrom leaped into the air and struck Validar. He ran around the two men, keeping a safe distance, and watched as the mage fell dead.

"No problem," he replied. "It's a good thing you were able to get him while he was distracted." In truth, he was thankful that Chrom admitted how important he was to killing the dream villain Finally, he directly stopped an evildoer instead of sitting back and waiting for others. He could protect others successfully.

"And how's Robin?" He turned to his teammate by the pillar.

"She'll be fine," Chrom said, with a nod. He nodded at Ales, before he started walking over closer to her. The prince knelt down next to her, smiling.

That was when Ales might have noticed his sudden incorporeality. Robin did, too -- as when she next looked up, he wasn't there.
