I think thats everything.

"Then let's get to work."

Kurt looked to the crowd, then to Ahrakas.

"I have some prep of my own. We should head to Xiclotl."

*I sighed*

*I teleported to Planet Solaris and grabbed 10 of them then Teleported back* “here I grabbed ten just in case”

"I take it you've had to do this run before?"

"Aging is one of those things where mortals and immortals function differently. I've tried curing aging in mortals before. It causes problems for them in society. But immortals? They're better able to handle remedies for aging."

"It's more a thing of Cosmos, not a thing of many immortals."

Shudde M'ell had appeared near Yig, Chaugnar Faugn, and the sleeping Cosmos.

"Dragonkind uses a lot more mental energy at a time compared to most immortals, aging becomes a real risk for them. Tindalos taught us that."

*Cosmos wakes up by himself*

 

[Universe]

Cosmos:”OH MY BACK!”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

*Cosmos wakes up by himself*

Cosmos:”OH MY BACK!”

"Universe, mind giving him one of the apples? I can probably coil around and help realign his back if it's a real physical issue, but this may be just an aspect of his aging showing."

*I gave him an Youth apple which he then eats*

 

[Universe]

Cosmos:”My back gave out”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

*I gave him an Youth apple which he then eats*

Cosmos:”My back gave out”

"Side effect of pushing too hard, usually."

"Need me to work my coils to put it in place, or is the apple helping enough?"

 

[Universe]

Cosmos:”Need you to put it back in place”

 

[Universe]

*He got younger*

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”Need you you put it back in place”

"Here, let me brace it. Chaugnar Faugn, be ready to help push spots if needed."

"On it."

Yig coiled around Cosmos carefully. Chaugnar Faugn noticed something on Cosmos' back.

"Looks like this is the spot. Here...."

Chaugnar Faugn pushed the spot, Yig attempting to use his coils to put everything back in alignment.

*There was a loud Crack* Cosmos:”Ahhh that’s better”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

*There was a loud Crack* Cosmos:”Ahhh that’s better”

Yig uncoiled from Cosmos.

*He got younger*

"See, Yig? The apples work wonders."

"What are you doing way out here anyway, Shudde M'ell?"

"Tindalos will be unbound soon. I'm following him because I want to see it in person."

"I get the feeling you'll want to be there for it too when it happens, Cosmos. Given your connection to them and all. Shudde M'ell, do you know about the war?"

"You better believe I do! I don't know what's up with these mortals."

Cosmos:”they’re jerks”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”they’re jerks”

"No kidding."

"There's probably going to be a moment where the four of us will have to take the field, but for now I think the Imperium is better off facing this one down."

"How do you figure, Chaugnar Faugn?"

"I have little doubt the Shinzoku Empire is going to try something underhanded. The Five are extremely powerful despite still being stuck in mortal forms. With the four of us, Universe, and that new dragon-"

"Firuthi."

"....right, Firuthi.... no one can realistically threaten them. We could probably even afford to put a few celestial dragons on the field, the six of us are so far up in power. What do you think, Cosmos?"

 

[Universe]

Cosmos:”that empire has no idea what I am capable of”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”that empire has no idea what I am capable of”

"....they think they're able to take on the Architects. I personally helped guide a civilization to abandon their conquest ways after they were frozen in an instant by one of them."

"There are a grand total of three threats possible here. None of them are the humans, not even the supposed Avatar."

"So who are they?"

"Strictly from the past lives, as I understand it. Supposedly there's a guy who delivered brain damage to their intended caretaker two realities ago, and has been screwing with their rituals multiple-"

".......two realities ago? I think I know who you mean"

Shudde M'ell projected her thoughts out.

"Marendar, if you can hear me... we know who hurt you so. We will find him, and we will make him pay for what he did to you... and I forgive you for what happened."

Marendar:”thank you”

 

[Universe]

Marendar:”That’s all I needed to hear”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Marendar:”thank you”

Marendar:”That’s all I needed to hear”

"You're welcome. May you find yourself and recover well."

Shudde M'ell stopped the telepathy at this point.

"It was who I thought it was."

"So do we have an old chessboard or something anywhere? I may not be good at the game, but we're going to have to pass the time somehow."

Cosmos:”So boring”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”So boring”

"If you've got an idea to pass the time, I'm all ears."

 

[Universe]

"If you've got an idea to pass the time, I'm all ears."

Cosmos:”I can’t think of anything”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”I can’t think of anything”

Shudde M'ell had produced a couple of board games out of nowhere. Chaugnar Faugn was looking through some of the materials of one and Yig was reading something from the other.

"Wow, I look ugly in this picture. And look, there's several of us... sadly they didn't think to include you in this, Cosmos."

"Because he's not widely portrayed as a horrible bad guy, unlike the three of us and the Architects."

"He could have shown up in the mythos cards or as one of the Guardians!"

"Uh, Yig?"

"Yeah?"

"You're not supposed to look through that book ahead of time..."

"Why not?"

"It's spoilers for all the endgame scenarios."

"Very few people actually play this game, Shudde M'ell. Can't an old man have a little fun?"
