"I shall seek your mind for traces of the void corruption, then," Animus replied, tilting his head to the side. "It shall not take me long, although it would be best if I did so after you return to your body. Your current state would make it difficult to scour the trails of your mind properly, as it is spread between your manifestation here and your body outside of Umbra. It would be best if I did so after you wake."

"I have most likely been here far longer than your kind has even existed," Umbra chuckled, closing his eyes. "Waiting is nothing to me. I doubt a body would be particularly difficult, considering your previous achievements in such construction. The primary difficulty would likely be finding a way to integrate my gem in a manner that would allow me to utilize the body. Which is something I know little of. It may require the aid of another of my kind to accomplish."
The ancient sat up slightly, opening his eyes. "Are you ready to return to your body?"

"Be thankful it is a magical plague, then, for it could decimate your people if otherwise," the mage grumbled, complying with escort. Not entirely willing, it seemed, but he wasn't foolish enough to resist. "Magical diseases die off when starved of magic, which this land clearly lacks. I would advise avoiding the affliction while it lasts if somebody must die of it. It will spread easier than influenza."

((Apologies for my absence. Classes have me exceedingly busy at the moment.))

''If that is what you think is best Animus then I shall wait until then. In truth, I am in hopes that my mind can remain pure but allow my body to give itself over. With my body covered in void constructs I might be able to actually walk the void. This would be a great step in understanding the void if I would be able to walk it and study it first hand. But, if the danger proves to great to my mind, then I shall devote time to working on ridding myself of this corruption.'' said Rhen before turning to Umbra.

''Hmmm....yes, what you say would pose a slight problem to building you a body. But considering you said you can extend yourself outside your gem, you might be able to create the necessary infusion needed to power the body. Mind you this is only theory, but it might work. Only other way I can build a body is to merge shadow magic with the body's electronics like I merged void energy into my limbs. With shadow magic imbued int he body you should have a stronger connection to the body thus allowing you full use.'' said Rhen taking a pause. ''If the danger outside has passed then yes, return me to my body.''

"Please allow me to give you some advice." The leader began, neither his tone nor his pace changing. "You are under the protection of He who rules us all. Were you not under His protection, I would have you shot right now for the comments you have just made. Your comments suggested that our race is able to die off from something as pitiful as a disease, let along a disease based in magic. Such remarks are nothing short of treason and would normally be punished by death. Our kind is unending. It has been said that we shall live until the last days of the worlds while the reptiles and all other lesser races will be little more then a distant memory. Now, I will overlook your ignorance for now but to further question the supremacy of Man will result in our agreement being terminated. Do you understand?"

"I shall scour your mind when you wake, then," Animus answered. "I'll notify you once I've completed my search. It may take several days by your sense of time; possibly less. I do not percieve the passing of time very well."

"An infusion of shadow magic into the chasis may create a strong enough link for me to control the body," Umbra mused, scratching at his jaw. "Although it would pose a problem on this half of the world. Ancients can still weave the forces here, but I do not believe mortals possess that capability. It would take an ancient to imbue it with shadow magic I could use here, and I alone am the ancient who can weave shadow magic. Or was; I cannot do so in my current state. Regardless, we can continue this discussion later. Now it is time for you to wake. Since you do not sleep, I suspect you will experience a spontaneous disconnect of sorts."

The next thing the party would be aware of was waking in Umbra's temple. It was completely silent and almost exactly as it had been before; the only change was the abyssal creatures were no longer present.

"If you insist," the mage replied, snorting slightly. "But if I am expected to not speak freely, then any information you expect to recieve from me will be severely diminished. I can hardly be informative if you plan on executing me if I don't word what I say to customs I know nothing about."

Matt awoke on the cold, stone floor of the temple. His first instinct was to look around to ensure that the area was completely safe. Satisfied that there was no immediate danger, he stood up and began to pace until the others awoke. Once they did, Matt said. "Right, now that we are all awake, I think it is best that we plan our escape from these ruins. I've put some thought into this and I have come up with a plan. I want our departure to be quick and efficient. We use speed to get out of here. That way, whatever is in here has less time to prepare an ambush like what we suffered last night. We were lucky to escape without any deaths. That brings me to my next point. Caelidorus, I do not want to see any heroics out of you. If, Al'Lumia forbid, we are attack, focus on escaping. I doubt you will be as lucky as you were the last time. Rhen, you suffered from a loss of energy on our way in here. We can't afford to have that happen again. Make sure that you have enough energy for the run from here to the entrance. Everyone else, just focus on getting out of here as quickly as you can. We'll leave when everyone is ready."

"So the only survivor was a mage?" The Emperor asked the leader of the soldiers, who had been summoned to report to him directly. "Yes, Holy One. The others were slaughtered by the creature in the circle. I have taken the liberty of having the jar sent for analysis." The leader replied. "Very good, you are dismissed." The man bowed and left. The Emperor turned to his ministers. "As important as this is, we must focus on the upcoming war. I have been informed by our agents in Glaruindem that most humans want to join the Imperium. I expect that our soldiers will be seen as liberators by the people there. Elmsbourg is another story. Only a small minority recognize the oppression that they must endure. I've arranged for an... incident to occur today. By the time the sun sets, no one will complain when our troops march on the city."

''That is all I ask Animus. Thank you for putting my fears at rest.'' said Rhen with a slight bow.

''As I said Umbra, it will take time to come up with a solution. But should I live through this whole ordeal we will have all the time we need. But as you say, we will speak more of this later. I shall see you, of sorts, in the real world.'' said Rhen, relaxing his mind waiting for the sudden disconnect.

For Rhen, coming out of Umbra's soul stone was a bit rougher that the others as Rhen did not sleep. When Rhen disconnected his physical body bolted straight up in a sudden, rough movement. The hard awakening of sorts also cause a brief coughing fit and a slight vomiting spell from Rhen. After being awake for all his life, his body was not used to what he had just experienced. Even as Rhen stood, coughing and all, he was off balance as he staggered to his feet.

''Well, that was definitely an experience worth noting. Remind me to never do that again unless necessary Matt. Also, pass me one of those, what did you call them? Ah yes, a granola bar. I have the feeling I am going to need it soon.'' said Rhen as he regained his footing.
