Huh... so it's not just about getting back, but making sure we get back at the right time.

Great... I was worried something like that was the case.

How long has it been?

You've only been gone an hour. I thought you were at the beach. So- I went out to get you for sparring practice and I seem to have found this place in doing so.

Huh- so not too bad... Still. Now that you're gone too...

so did you both step through a portal and end up here?

If it was invisible, then I guess I did.

Same here.

I just remember I stubbed my toe on a rock, fell over rolling to my feet- and suddenly I was surrounded by trees.

Hey- that's what happened to me too!

-nods- Yeah, I've been aware of that ever since the first day I got here...

Still. I bet it's possible.

Though the estate has no History, or mythos that concerns disappearances...

yeah it's still possible. there's no question about that, I'm just thinking that the portal you both fell through was likely a naturally occurring one.

Strange as that may sound they do happen.

They're probably rare, then.

You'd think such holes in reality would become known over the centuries...

Still, there has to be some sort of way back.

Have you thought about cutting a hole in reality, Alex? You do have Tudwal Tudglyd's Stone, after all.

Actually that's kind of what I thought on the first day, but- that probably isn't possible. I couldn't make a sword that sharp even with the Tyrant's Stone.

-if you look closely you can almost see gespenst blue screen from trying to keep up-

wait, Tudwal Tudglyd's Stone? Cutting a hole in reality? What are you two talking about?

-they speak in unison-

The Whetstone of Tudwal Tud- -they then realized this was happening-

I'll handle it... It is technically mine, anyway.

-nods-

Basically- The Whetstone of Tudwal Tudglyd... otherwise known as the Tyrant Stone. Is an ancient Artifact- one of the Thirteen Treasures of Britain. It's said that any sword sharpened on it, is guaranteed to draw blood with each strike.

So- what we were thinking- was if we sharpened up a sword enough using it's power- that we could cut ourselves open a new portal, so to speak.

-nods- Yeah... though I discounted it because it's too risky to actually cut open a hole in reality uncontrolled. Plus- I don't think it'd be possible to do that.

Valid point on the first part...

hmmm, I wouldn't say it's impossible given some of the other things I've observed in my time here you're both right about the danger of doing so.

I believe there is actually a location in this dimension that has been fundamentally altered because someone opened a hole in reality but was unable to fully control it.

-nods- Yeah. So- We wouldn't want that to happen.

Yeah. Not to mention travel's probably just as dangerous, if not more dangerous.

We could blunder up, and end up on a planet ruled by cat-people.

Which- we then would probably find even harder to leave than a crossroads...

that's one of the dangers, the others are a lot less pleasant.

Yeah- like cat-people that eat people.

Or- just being torn apart by the strings binding realities together...

Al right- it was just a joke.

So basically there's nothing either of us could do alone.

good thing you both ended up here then, I may not be of much help in this situation but there's definitely someone around here that's familiar with portal magic.

That's convenient.

Yeah, the next thing I had in mind would've required the luck of finding a Legendary Chariot here...

I'm going to assume that is another one of those thirteen treasures?

Yeah, it is if it's the one I think he's on about.

-nods- Yeah. It is the one you think I'm on about.

Merlin was good at hiding things so... I'd guess that he'd hide a chariot that can "take you anywhere, as fast as the wind" would be another world.

Assuming it was a teleportation kind of chariot, rather than what I think- is that it was a Chariot that was basically just like a jet fighter.

#859045: Mar 15th 2015 at 10:28:41 AM

Oh, well that depends on how old you date the legends...

And whether the Welsh Legends happen before Brutus of Britain comes into the picture, because as soon as he comes around- it's not soon after that King Arthur's tale and the Matter of Britain takes shape.

-nods- Right. And of course... when you date King Arthur's time.

How can someone not, unless you're not from Earth.

Or too far in the future to know the Legends of Britain...
