Chapter 500: Deeper in We Go
Tala and Rane shared a look before following after Anatalis. Terry didn’t leave Tala’s shoulder, but his eyes were flicking all around, despite them both maintaining their standard clouds of bloodstars, giving threefold sight and perception respectively.
The trees grew larger as the four continued, the place starting to feel more and more like the Leshkin woods to the south. One major difference, however, was that the trees were of mixed varieties, and the overall result was less uniform in appearance.
Where the Leshkin woods seemed almost like a great hall—immense beyond reason, made using a forest as its foundation and trees as its living pillars—this was simply an ancient forest, still in the primacy of its power.
Yet, despite the surrounding distractions, Tala couldn’t get her mind off of two things.
First, her three-fold sight was acting… oddly. She could still see just as well as ever—and through the physical to the same degree—but it somehow felt… off.
If she were relying on her mundane sight, she’d say that everything was color shifted.
Second, Kit was pulling at her soul… oddly.
For some reason, Kit seemed to be starward of her now, rather than stoneward, so it seemed like they’d been flipped around somehow?
Is this place upside down or something?
