    1/1

    The man slowly drifted into consciousness as he did so realities around him changed.he came to realization that he was shifting between the worlds of dream and awake but yetsome other force was calling him, beckoning to another place. Not spirit world where he so oftenworked as a tower trained laranist nor even the netherworld in between but to a deep darkrecessed pocket of the dangerous borderlands where all the know worlds and many unknownworlds cross in a twisting braid fashion proving that all existences and non-existences are

So you must forgive myaddress you without formal introductions. My Lord Regis, I use thes as you are of strickingsimilarity to my actual Lord Regis, atleast when he was you ripe young age.
