A Meeting of Paws and Claws

"If I can't move the heavens above, I will move Hell" Sah listened intently as Neos spoke, his mind racing. "You've traveled to other worlds before this? That's normal for you? No wonder you've adapted so well." Sah smirked slightly at the mention of walking plants. "My world didn't have plants like that, but each tree and  other life forms were inhabited by Nymphs, nature spirits so to speak. They would come out and talk to you if you asked, or yell at you if you accidently broke one of their branches." He chuckled at his own memories. It was only fair that he shared his story too. Neos had opened up about his after all. Taking a breath, Sah braced himself, his expression becoming carefully blank. "I didn't come here of my own volition either. My home...my world...it..." He paused, his voice cracking mildly. "It ended." He declared softly. Sah hadn't told anyone the details yet but maybe, just maybe this stranger who had experience something similar would understand.  Just speaking about his home hurt more then he could articulate. But now that he'd started, Sah couldn't stop and more came rushing out. "The sky turned black as the sun vanished, the earth split itself down to the core.. and just as it all ended, the world for lack of a better way of putting this... folded in on itself. It was...horrifying. I don't know why I survived, or how. Or why the fuck I woke up here, completely fine but in a brand new body." Sah spoke quietly and although his voice was steady, it was clear how painful the memory was for him. sah There stood the wolf in the winter wind Full of fearsome might There stood the wolf in the winter wind King of the winter night. -Tim Vallie
