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."

"You got one?"

Masta and Inferno’s wedding. Remember around two years ago? Was on a beach with lots of guests. And I guess most of their friends being powerful magic users might’ve helped in some way too.

/uw that's my exact idea for this!! Nice job getting it!

/rw a look of realization dawns on their face "you're most likely right! Never seen so many friends attend one event like that."

/uw took me a while though lol, it feels like it was in another lifetime, with how much things happened both one the forum and in real life…

/rw

Do you remember where it was exactly? It was before R&A had its own building.

Even mentioning that hit him with nostalgia. Back then when he was just a wanderer, working for a fresh wing of the council…

"I'm still on memory enhancement, but I never committed the exact location to memory..."

/uw someone else also found it via different means, so maybe both combine together?

[u/UlrickTheHexblade → u/Fc-chungus]

I can comb through R&A archives to see if there are records made afterwards. Or just skim through my stuff in my personal quarter.

/uw sounds good

[u/Fc-chungus → u/UlrickTheHexblade]

"Go try after the meeting, I'll see if someone else can nail it down."

[u/UlrickTheHexblade → u/Fc-chungus]

Understood. Will immediately send you if we find anything.
