Brinkilda gorglaxus linksridas first trials in the dead sea
Halt! Who goes through the dead sea faces pillars of salt of mans tears prepare yourself for reflective introspection hehahahaha (deep echoey laugh)
Gorglaxus approaches and suddenly brinkilda and linksrida disappear from his view, his brow furls and his breath deepens as he takes a step forward...splash glugunk! He looks down making the mistake of staring into the dead sea waters puddles he stepped in and thus saw himself but not himself a shadow and it was dark and the axe held covered in black blood dripping as it laughs and laughs maniacally.
"This is who we are gorglaxus the terribly great the mighty warrior that hales from the land of larsidius THRUM THRUM!!"
"IT CANNOT BE! Bellows gorglaxus, FOR I AM NOT THE SALT AND SAND THAT MAKES YOUR HAND I AM NO SHADOW FOR HERE I STAND KILLER I AM NOT BUT I MAY HAVE TO BECOME BUT NOT FOR WHIMS OF SHADOWS OR DEAD SEA LAW LOGIC THRUM THRUM THRUM THRUM!!" He bellows
A heart piercing screech lets out the shadow as it dissipates and he finds himself among his friends, companions yet again but there is a concern in his eyes a glint he's usually the last out of the trials but this time he spots linksrida casting flow spells to try and slow the salt forming around brinkilda' ankles she is like a statue still and un bending barely breathing.
"Come quickly gorglaxus we are gonna have to go into her mind QUICKLY NOW PREPARE YOURSELF!"
Gorglaxus sets down his wrapped in leather axe rough and tumble are his knees he bends and the salt sands quake under his wake as he breathes the solemn bow of their friendship,
"Gorglaxus I am but also am not for I am one of three there is no doubt, I give myself to thee and thine and release my mind into thines inner eye inside your mind you'll find me friend I'll bring you out or sink with you MY FRIEND BRINKILDA LET US BEGIN!"
THWOOF THWOOF WHISTLING FWOOSH THE WIND CARRIES AND BLOWS THE SAND SALTS RISE AND FALL LINKSRIDA CHANTS HER TOMES AND INSIDE HER MIND HE GOES.
Forming inside her mind he sees brinkilda locked into a fight...with him screaming no please we are friends repeatedly I don't want to have to kill you she says as he lets his guard drop and her blow kills him. Forming next to her as she falls to her knees wailing in pain of heart he whispers,
"Recursive loop stuck you are for gorglaxus does not wield against true hearts"
She winces sniffles wipes her tears nods her head and says,
" Gorglaxus is but one of three our hearts United in bond of solemn vow I bow and breathe as one of these strike us down we cannot without striking ourselves down for we are bound by loves embracing nature here we face the dead sea pools the ripples of our past misteps DO NOT DEFINE US IN THIS BREATH!! THUM THUM THUM THE DRUMBEATS ROAR AND BELLOW THRUM THRUM THRUM."
As she takes a breath her eyes close and as they open she is met with linksrida and gorglaxus peering into her eyes like a doctor looking at throats smiling linksrida goofy grin gorglaxus they all grin and laugh as the salt sands fall and her legs are pillared no more.
"Linksrida the walker does not get trapped in illusions this way, how unfair bah hahaha" laughs gorglaxus
"Well lucky we are for he couldn't cast spells to help us I guess the energy drain makes up for it hahaha already sleeping no mat, come let us put down his bedding and get him on it" says brinkilda as she gulps down her brew.
Starting a fire with nearby driftwood it crackles and sparkles with purple fire as they lay linksrida on his sandy colored mat and tucks him into his bag gorglaxus and brinkilda look to the stars as they fry some salted fish and bask in the cosmic sway of the universe,life, with smiles and tears endearing looks they give to the silver stars they behold in the night sky of the dead seas reflective nature.
the shadow speaks loud but it is not the voice that stays the loop repeats until named and the hand once raised to strike lowers not in weakness but in knowing that to harm the other is to fracture the whole and so the salt falls not from force but from remembering
Fade frame to linksridas trial I am not who I was I swear Then why am I still here hahaha Because shadow exists thats why simple as that Illusion shatters instantly linksrida recognized and defeated the illusion instantly as walkers tend to do
