melodiesoflife | Event || In Your Worst Memory

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?

Breathe in, breath out Morgan repeated the mantra over and over. The threat was out of the way, so now he just needed time to pull himself together.

After he manages to compose himself, he turns towards the other Hero, the one who had helped them. They'd have been in serious trouble without him, but at the same time, it was something that might have been better for no one else to see. It's not strange that he'd want an explanation either, but that was gonna be pretty hard to pull off.

"Yes. No. Kind of?" Maybe he'd be okay with 'It's complicated' as an answer?

"I don't know," Robin admitted, in answer to Jade's question. She looked sideways at Morgan -- did he know more? -- and then she looked back down at the flagstones of the Dragon's Table.

"It's a vision that I've had," she said. "But it feels real. It doesn't feel like a dream. Something between a memory I've forgotten and a nightmare. Except... it's never come to pass. I've fought with Chrom in my world, and we only fought that sorcerer once. He died by our hand, when he tried to assassinate our leader."

They thought, then, that they had saved Emmeryn. They were wrong.

"But this was different than my vision, too," she admitted. "In my vision, it was just Chrom and I, against that sorcerer. And Chrom--" She looked down at the ash, and her head fell. "He never... I always killed him after something took me over, but he never... was changed into that."

She closed her mouth after that.

Jade mulled over this information. It had never come to pass, yet Morgan seemed to know how it was supposed to have gone. The future, then, one that had happened to him but not yet to her -- at least, that's what it sounded like. Jade wondered what the odds were that he had wound up with two coworkers headed for a future of betraying their comrades.

"Every memory I've seen before yours seems to have been twisted to test its owner's resolve. Chrom's transformation was probably just that. As for the rest of it..." He gave Morgan a pointed look. "I'm afraid I can't help you there."
