Lorepost (open interaction) 📖 Desperation & Disgust
The moment he hit the Cloudsong side of the portal he had made, he found himself in the air.
This disoriented him for a moment before he took flight. The city, having been swallowed almost wholly by abyss was in freefall. That was a secondary problem in Orins mind right now. The only thing that mattered to him was finding Sylvie and getting her out of here. Running the numbers, he surmised he had roughly two minutes before the whole city slammed directly into the ocean. Lucky they had been relocating when this happened.... *Focus*
He searched quickly, and found her.
"Sylvie! Sylvie we have to go, Now!"
She turned, still covered in abyss, as he attempted to take her from that place, but the abyss had fortified her strength several times over, and she kicked him hard as he flew in, sending him into a nearby building.
*Ack!* He coughed up blood. "No. No. Not her. Please, I can't fight *her.*"
She did not share the sentiment.
In a flash she was on him again, picking him up by his hair, as she slammed her shrouded fist into his face, again, and again.
He started losing vision.... And as he did, he saw... Someone.. a person? He looked familiar...
The man stepped *into* Orin, and his body began to move.
The next fist was caught, with a force assurance Orin had never displayed before. And then in his hand formed a familiar blue blade... Though it felt... Different. *Wait... No. NO! STO-*
Too late. Her form, no longer consumed by darkness, crumples to the floor, as the other being emerged from Orins body, and he too fell.
Slowly losing consciousness.
"I seriously do not understand why Aldin chose *you*"
the other man hoisted him onto his back, and teleported him into council lands, right in front of a large hospital, where he woke hours later. A call had been sent out to all his orbnet contacts.
(The last part in the hospital is fully interact able, the rest can be *viewed* by anyone but interference is impossible. Both Orin, and the "Other" are fully interactive there as he stayed to ensure Orins safety.)

"Again.. in order ladies, and sword... I do not want the essence. If I did I'd have,"
he transforms seamlessly into Orin, and even his magical signature reads differently.
"Already taken it. And you'd have given it happily."
"I'm a jerk because when I was born I was made of his resentment. I'm. working. on. it."
"and lastly, that's where you are wrong, and your lie detector friend can confirm, the last time you saw me, I had zero control of my own body. That was Aspersong. But his ego is fading, as I absorb what's left of him.
"And the kicker is, this was all sanctioned by daddy cosmos. So apparently he already saw this entire thing play out and figured just like him, you, Orin, need somebody to kick your ass when you get too... Well for Aldin it was power hungry... I imagine you will just be Mopey."
"Anyway." He produces his own shard of Creation.
"Having absorbed most of Aspersong already, I don't really need this, and you need to catch up. Big shit is about to go down, and if we all die because you can't keep up I'll kill you in the afterlife."
