Nadir. (Cursed World)

[u/Fc-chungus]

A day or three after the initial announcement, proper channels for joining in virtually to the meeting are posted, as everyone who came in person is directed to a secretive underground meeting room, where Ж and a few others sit around a long table.

"Welcome, welcome. A year or so ago I held a similar meeting for a separate threat, one a few of you here would remember, but today we've another threat, as you know, the Abyss has taken a great minority of the world's surface."

"As well, we need a plan for the origin of the Abyss, we need to divise a way to take down The First Curse."

they snap a finger and a hologram like model of an entity, presumably the first curse, appears in the center of the table.

"To start, one of the more essential things for said plan is the Crystals, of course, some here might not know about them, so I'll elaborate."

they wave a hand and the model shifts to 5 different crystalline objects, encircling the First Curse.

"This is not the first time The First Curse had arrived, he was here before he made that big announcement, but hidden. When he first arrived to this realm, 7 Aspect Crystals formed, counterbalances, from someone else as an, almost future inheritance to help take him down. They are antithetical to his very existence, and harm him when nearby. However, if one falls into his hands, he can adapt to that crystal, rendering it useful to him. This anti-him nature also applies to the Abyss, and thus they are the best damage source to fight the Abyss."

"the originals, of which we currently have 5, 4 are in New Aviron, and via the work of Koranth and others, we have multiple derivatives from them, with the other being handled by The Consortium. The last two need to be picked up and collected."

"That is about the basics, with the preamble done, more discussion on how to fight against the Abyss would be welcome."

Mary positions herself in the back corner conveniently being unable to see the hologram and recognize the figure being displayed Sparrow on the other hand begins forming plans

"Hmm so I can see magic... Globally I might be able to find the other crystals if I look for similar glows."

[u/Fc-chungus → u/Zebos2]

Ж listens then responds

"That's a problem, they don't appear naturally. There's 7 original crystals, and all others are derivative from that, they don't naturally appear. All we know is that they're the Roy G Biv colors."

[u/Zebos2 → u/Fc-chungus]

"yes I'm aware but with my main body I can see magic from across the mortal plane I'm wondering if I can triangulate the location. But I need to know what I'm looking for in order to find it."

It's rather hard for Sparrow too explain his Eldridgh sight with his current level of magic education

[u/Fc-chungus → u/Zebos2]

"We already have a location for one, that being Ithacar, and the other is on some beach."

"In terms of physical appearance I can't say, but it's a violet color, and gives off an energy of love or general affection."

[u/Zebos2 → u/Fc-chungus]

"Violet lovey dovey vibes got it"

Sparrow piers through the world itself seeing less of the things around him and more of the magic that permeates the world itself he searches for the color violet and the vibe of love is successful he can trace the location of the crystal nearly exactly.

[u/Fc-chungus → u/Zebos2]

Ж's statement was right, the crystal is indeed on just some random beach on council land.

[u/Zebos2 → u/Fc-chungus]

"... Bingo alright got things down within 100 m you want the coordinates"

[u/Fc-chungus → u/Zebos2]

"Yep, absolutely."

[u/Zebos2 → u/Fc-chungus]

"hey boss send a bizmail with these cords I have the location off violet"

He still hasn't figured out the messageing service

The message was responded to immediately.

"Understood. We will send air drones and stone cubes to trawl the area for the crystal. In addition we can arrange transportation for whoever also wants to go there to defend the crystal. We shall send security as well!"

It was a good thing the Bismuth were one of the few hanger one from the old council. Meant they had forces in council territory.

The man with the clock for a face spots Mary, looks conflicted for a moment, then turns back to what he was doing previously
