OOC: SCENARIO 9

Scenario requirements: You reach a long barricade of thorns on the other side of the wall. They seem to be moving, pulsating with a life of their own and gift out a strange light. Flowers begin to bloom on the wall. When you press your hand against one, you are immediately assaulted with a strange vision (roll 1d6 to see what it is).

1. You see a skyscraper. At the very top there is a greenhouse. You feel yourself hovering above the greenhouse before diving right into it. There is a beautiful garden inside it, almost like a biodome. In the center of the biodome is what looks like some sort of chalice

2. You see hundreds of dead bodies, and a strange feeling washes over you. Apathy. You stand over the bodies and continue searching for at least one survivor. You hear yourself speak. "Are humans really so fragile?"

3. You fight against humans, but this time they are armed. Their weapons hurt. You are frustrated. They are eligible, but none of them will truly accept your wisdom. You kill many without ever feeling accepted. The feeling continues until the vision is over.

4. You fight against creatures of shadows, what you would consider your own breathren. They come in all shapes and sizes, large beasts and dragons, demons and even the undead. They refuse your knowledge. They are not compatible. They beg, negotiate and even fight against you to stop. You assimilate them for their treachery and refusal to serve.

5. You sleep in a long chamber of vines. Inside it are rows and rows of crystals. Each one is important to you. You tap against one, and it resonates, and you feel a strange sense of satisfaction. This is the power you have collected from those living and dead.

6. [ There is no actual image in this vision. Instead, you are assaulted with hundreds, thousands of conflicting thoughts, emotions, and ideals, all of them not your character's own. Your actual character's nose begins to bleed, and they fall to the ground, convulsing. They are unable to roll any other visions from the above if they reach this prompt and eventually pass out ].

Otherwise, you may continue rolling until you have fulfilled the 250 word requirement for it!

The running eventually came to a stop before rusted gates, hands gripping onto wrought iron in desperate gesture to know that it was real. It was not certain that the desolate institution would be the sanctuary he needed, but it provided reprieve from the fog.

He entered.

Was he dreaming? Amidst the dreariness were flowers blooming along the wall, emitting an ethereal glow. A false hope, he knew, but he already intoxicated.

He was taken away, held in suspension over the building. The dome at the very top glowed with mysterious life, beckoning.

Was this the sanctuary he was searching for? The garden around him seemed to offer beauty and protection, and the man found himself wandering through the place, trapped in the labyrinth of his own mind.

He did eventually reach the center, filled with anticipation. A chalice stood in its place, magnetic despite its unassuming form. Peter reached out for it, bringing it to his lips.

He drank.

The garden disappeared and in its place were hundreds of bodies littered on the ground. And he, he stood on top. Weary eyes glanced over the scene, and he waited for his heart to elicit a response. But there was none.

He took a step, treading over the limbs of the fallen without remorse. Was there anyone left?

Eventually he came to a stop and waited. But there was nothing to wait for.

Are humans really so fragile?” he muttered involuntarily, staring stony-eyed at the carnage.

The scene shifted once more, and the man arose from a deep sleep within a long chamber of vines. Stepping out of his cradle, he moved along the room, his eyes drifting down aisle after aisle of the crystals.

He reached out to touch one. Power resonated from it, bringing a smile to his face. Power from the living and the dead, and all of it was his.
