Ink makes it back!
Ink will search the Abbaithor for any blank paper and tomes to then begin writing a few scrolls and tomes full of all the wisdom of Earth he can remember.
There are all sorts of material. It can be crafted by your minions too.
Myriana grinned at Desseer's recognition of her worth and offering her recompense for her services. Oh how she could take advantage of this! "Ara, ara, you know it is dangerous to ask a fae what she wants in payment for service rendered don't you Desseer-kun nya?"
It is around then that the shocker lizard flew in. The creature surprised Myriana as she didn't think shocker lizards could fly. "This is a strange creature, do shocker lizards normally have wings here Iris-chan?"
Desseer continues to stare down the lizard but raises an eyebrow curiously, "This thing resisted my spell, Myriana. Do you think it is more than just a lightning lizard?"
"While ahead you should stop!" The little lizard spouts out in its little voice. "Shock you shall I?"
"I wouldn't if I were you," Desseer responds eyebrow still raised. "I don't run across many talking lizards. How did you end up here?"
Ink will whip up some of the scribes and smile.' Look all you now have a job to do. We are crafting a religion based off the teachings I have and others. We will write them and beat age them and then I can distribute them into the world' he then will begin to get to a desk and work up a variety of tales and philosophies he read in his past life.
"Catching a ride... heading home. Now saw interesting folk, you."
Myriana found the fact the creature shrugged off Desseer's spell interesting, that shouldn't be easy for the beings here so maybe it just got lucky. The lizard started speaking then and Myriana's eyes widened even ore as she said, "Shocker lizards aren't supposed to speak like they aren't supposed to fly nya, how fascinating." With a grin Myriana asked, "What should we call you Mr. Lizard nya?"
"The Sly, call me. Be you who?"
"I am called Desseer. Greetings The Sly. Where is home for you?"
Myriana grinned and said, "You can call me Myriana, The Sly-kun nya, and this is my lovely Iris-chan."
"The looking glass, through."
Desseer tilts his head slightly, "What is the looking glass? And/or where is the looking glass?"
Still writing in the tome, Ink begins to send out to his followers.
' My Legion of Reptiods, My Spies, Infiltrators, Inquisitors and Ninjas. Those of great skills of obfuscation and lyrical illusions with theatrical chops that a bard could envy. Too you I have a Task to bolster the might and reach of the Seeds of Destruction and to me and our Brotherhood.' he pauses as he turns and shifts into a strong faced man of indeterminate age and gray hair. He smiles as he tugs on the sleeves and his common clothes turn into pious robes any former Cardinal would envy.
" These pamplets you hold will be your blueprint to spread the glorious word of our manufactured God Anton. From it build a community and connection as Me and those less personable and well charismatic aid me in crafting the rest of the work. From this we shall build a church to rival others. Gather political power and wealth as well embolden the outcasts and downtrodden to join. With it we shall strength the Abbathior and our own Brotherhoods power!" he gestures passionately to his few minions he is sending out to the near by settlements in hopes to spread the word gain converts and continue the purpose of strengthening the Guild.
He points at the obelisk and dances around.
Desseer frowns in confusion, "Wait, do the obelisks host an extradimendional space?"
"No I just call them looking glass." The little lizard tries to explain without using many words.
"But you said it was your home," Desseer responds, his eyes narrowing. "Do you live in the obelisk?"
"You know, if you let me in," he adds gesturing to his own head, "this communication could go quicker."
Ink returns to his work, his form working effortlessly to craft a new 'Greatest Story Ever Told'. He will work until he can't keep form and returns to a gelatinous state.
Myriana was a bit annoyed at being ignored after her introduction to The Sly but decided the lizard wasn't worthy of her aggravation. Instead, she went to look at the obelisk and listened to what Desseer and The Sly said to each other. Myriana did not have the education in her old world to get the obvious reference in the words the lizard said but she did see how he danced around a little.
Curiosity being the bane of all cats Myriana approached the obelisk and began to examine it more closely before she shrugged and tried to imitate the dance the lizard did to see if it would cause a reaction.
The little lizard just shakes his head to Desseer. But soon seems to dance in a trance toward Iris. He curls up in her lap.
She sat down on a patch of grass and watched the rest of you. Her cat slipped out and she pet him. She then begins to beckon the little lizard with soothing words with a singsong manner, " Little Lizard, Come to Me
(Verse 1)
Oh, little lizard, sleek and small,
I see you hiding by the wall.
With tiny toes and eyes so bright,
Won't you step into the light?
(Chorus)
Come on closer, don’t be shy,
Let the sunshine warm your side.
I won’t chase, I won’t scare,
Just a friend who wants to share.
(Verse 2)
Golden scales or emerald green,
Fastest feet I’ve ever seen.
You flick your tail, you tilt your head,
Are you hearing what I said?
(Chorus - repeat)
Come on closer, don’t be shy,
Let the sunshine warm your side.
I won’t chase, I won’t scare,
Just a friend who wants to share.
(Bridge)
I’ll sit still, I’ll hum a tune,
Underneath the shining sun.
If you trust, just take a chance,
Join me in a lizard dance!
(Final Chorus)
Come on closer, don’t be shy,
Let the sunshine warm your side.
Tiny creature, free and wild,
Stay with me a little while."
She begins petting him too, in soothing tine she asks, "Now my friend Sly where is your home?"
He looks up enjoying the pets and squeaks out, "The Dragon's Roost. Through the Obelisk to Arthur."
"Oh," Desseer says, "You are a part of Arthur's guild? That would explain...that. Say, what ability do you have that can teleport?"
Yes. Teleportation greater.

Ink continues to work on making scriptures.
Myriana was a bit disappointed that nothing happened in her attempt to mimic the lizard's dance for the obelisk but not overly surprised. What did surprise her was Iris singing! She didn't know that Iris-chan could sing! She was really good too!
It didn't take long for Myriana to realized there was magic in the song as well whens he saw what The Sly did and wondered if this was Iris's charm hex at work. Seeing the lizard all happy and content on Iris' lap caused a rather irrational swell of jealousy to sweep through the catgirl mage but she quickly decided that it wasn't important enough to be upset about, she would get much better petting tonight in their room so she could be magnanimous, just this once.
"Well, with The Sly's help we can definitely try the obelisk nya. I could try to use dimension door too if we want to try it nya," she said.
Desseer nods to Myriana, "Agreed. Let's try it. "
"The Sly, if you'd be willing to share, when activating these obelisks, how do you get to the one you want to? It is my understanding that there are several of these."
He slowly seems to process and explain better obviously focusing on the explanation and not playing dumb or like an animal, "There are many of these, you can do it two ways. Or at least I only understand how to do it two ways. Direction or location. If you know the location you envision it very similar to a teleport spell. If you don't then you tell it which direction you want to go and it will take you to the closest one in that direction."
Desseer gives The Sly a nod of appreciation, "That is incredibly helpful, thank you." He then closes his eyes and points one finger at the obelisk. His other hand raises to point in the direction of the Abattoir. With his eyes still closed and arms up he slowly turns his head to point in a different direction. "Right..about..there," he mumbles as his head stops turning. He lowers one hand and points in the direction he is now facing. "That's the direction we want to go." He turns to Myriana, while still holding his point steady, and says with a smile, "Well, my lady, shall we?"
With information gained and their best estimation of how to make the obelisk work, Myriana moved to stand before it. She wrapped on arm around Iris and said, "Grab my shoulder Desseer-kun nya." Once she was in contact with everyone Myriana began to speak, intoning the words of a chant, and her eyes flash as she burned some of her reservoir to let her cast at a high level than normal. She designated the direction of the town they needed to reach and released her magic to teleport them in that direction.
Desseer nods, steps forward, and gently rests a hand on Myriana's shoulder. As she is casting her spell, he looks over to The Sly, "It was nice to meet you. "
The little lizard grabs onto Myrianna's leg. If she shoos him he will let go.
With the spell cast and those on or touching Myrianna, you are whisked away into the ethereal realm in a tunnel of blue light. You appear next to another obelisk that is overlooking Drother in the distance.
"Ha ha!" Desseer exclaims, gripping Myriana by the shoulders in celebration. "We don't have to fly here! This changes the game!"
Myriana had no issue with The Sly grabbing hold of her leg, as far as she was concerned, he was welcome to come along with them. Suddenly they were pulled into a tunnel of blue light and an instant later they were out of it and looking at the city of Drother in the distance.
Myriana jumped at fluttered her wings before glomphing Iris for a brief kiss. "It worked nya!"
"Alright," Desseer says beaming. "Let's see what John is up to. Also, if we could find simple contract work, that'd be ideal."
He runs a hand through his hair and adopts his winged-aasimar appearance, once more. "Let's get this as well." With a word for himself and Myriana, he casts an extended Undetectable Alignment on both.
"Ready?" he asks Myriana, his new radiant golden countenance beaming, "Let's have some fun. "
She seemed pleased by the kiss. Glad that the spell did work as opposed to some of the alternatives. She holds onto Myrianna, keeping her close for the celebratory kiss. She whispers to Myrianna, "I need to get stronger..."
In response to Desseer she asks, "What kind of fun are you looking to have?"
"Thanks for the ride! What will you be doing? Will it be fun for me too?" He zooms from on person's shoulder to the next looking around.
Aasimar-Desseer shrugs at Iris, "Hard to say what exactly. It really depends. Is there an adventuring guild? With patrols it seems less likely. But, who knows? What kind of underworld exists?"
To the Sly, "You are welcome to tag along if you'd like. But I will be lying up a storm. If you ruin a lie, I will be displeased."
Myriana nodded in response to Iris' whisper and whispered back to her, "We can work on that nya."
In response to Desseer's spell and question if she was ready Myriana said, "Yep, nya, I'm ready!" Her gaze shifted to The Sly, "I guess we will find out nya, I'm sure we can find something fun nya."
