It was time. 

Fourteen of us (excluding my brother) were to go through the rift. Some where excited. The ones that hadn't talked with Gri as much were the most nervous, fantasising about him. The ones that had talked with him were looking forward, but also a little sad. Probably because they'd never see him again, right? I hoped that nobody would be harmed, but that was a silly thing. 

X was the only one more worried about it than me. He kept double, triple, quadruple checking everything. "You got your com?" he asked me for what I figured to be the eighth time. I nodded for the seventh. 

So we went. 

As we stepped through... it was so weird! It was like you had... rippled. Like a portal, but not. I came out head spinning, stumbling around on grass, the world blinking in and out of focus. We were on a grass plateau on the edge of a canyon. I backed away from it, knowing that if I went within three blocks I would probably fall in, and I didn't know if respawn was on or not. 

I backed straight into cub. 

(@EmberDragon34 here's your convex.) 

Cub turned around, opening his mouth. "Scar. Listen. There is something X isn't telling you, but I think you deserve to know." He brought out the old Wanted poster I had seen. 

"I've seen that. X showed it to me." 

"Mmm, I thought so. But did our esteemed admin show you this?" Cub turns over the poster. What the... 

In bold typed letters, so probably legit, were three words. Three awful, terrible words. Three words I would have expected X to show me. 

KILL ON SIGHT. 

"No.." I stutter, mainly to myself. "That... that... no, that's not... why didn't.." 

"He show you?" Cub finishes for me. " I'm afraid he thought you would get some ridiculous idea about running off to warn him." 

"Oh." I say, regaining my wits. "I absolutely am." 

His grimace eased a bit, his eyes sparkling. 

"Is- do you- can I?" I ask in barely a whisper, looking up at him. He nods silently, then gestures for us to stay. X and the others were over by a very confused- looking man with big ears and green skin, whom I assumed to be the admin. This was the perfect chance. 

"Give me that a second-" he says, looking at my com. Reluctantly, I hand it over and he taps the screen a few times, resulting in a map with several red dots, who I guess are the players. One of them seemed to be moving quickly on the edge of the map. "How dyou do that?" I ask, barely daring to hope. "Magic?" 

"Not quite." He aye with a chuckle. "A basic knowledge of tech helps. Anyway, we know whete your cousin is. The only problem is that X has this to." 

"Oh." I said, my face falling. 

"And," Cub adds. "They have something else." 

QOTC- do you think myth or gem  would be a better therapist? (For TOUAL)
