another mind, another soul, another body to grow old. it's not complicated. Otem wanted desperately to speak with her twin, but she was a tad bit busy at the moment. She had to make it appear like she was fighting the shadows, when really, her attention was focused just upon the wolf god. Still, appearances need to be maintained, so she briefly said, "Do you really know that? That finality means the loss of sentience and consciousness? Finality might just be the end of this-" For a moment her wings splayed to indicate all that was around them, "-and not anything at all to do with sentience or consciousness." And then the blackness around Mbwana began to swim and move towards her. For a moment Otem thought she saw the flicker of a face within the blackness, but discarded it. What was it called, when you saw faces everywhere? Where one pulled familiar images out of completely random patterns? There was a name for it, Otem was sure of that, but in this frenzy the word eluded her. It wouldnt' have mattered anyways, for Otem was wrong. There was the faintest trace of what once was within that smoke - like the after image burned into your eyes long after you've turned away from the light. Only it was Isopia who turned, and she didn't just turn away. She turned the light out. "It's dangerous everywhere!" Otem complained, outraged that they were just going to leave and let all this just...just go. The battle was clearly over, and yet the autumn-marked filly did not want to leave this war zone. She wanted to stay and argue with her twin about death if that's what it took. Something here seemed to scream in her bones. Something that knew things. There was knowledge in the Rift, and Otem would foresake all caution to learn what it knew.
