38-Exceptional Solutions

Despite having left Mheridz's care suddenly, the two of them had not switched over to the other side. Before either of them knew it, both of them were standing once again in the temporal plane, trying to recall what in the world had just happened.

They recalled then at that point that Axln had determined that Lyun's state had been very unstable when exposed to either sets of world laws. Within the temporal plane though, the fizzle of principles simply faded away rapidly into the temporal chaos. Moving here was the right choice, though there was no certainty whose idea it might have been. Actually, was this truly the right choice? Wasn't such a dramatic rush into the temporal plane.. very dangerous? Okay, for the moment, they felt very safe, the danger was more a state of consequence once they returned from this plane. They also knew, staying around for too long.. that would have consequences of its own.

"I see you both have returned again, and as before without any way to predict your arrival. I must say though, your travels have been some of the most interesting tales I've witnessed in quite some time. The potential you've harnessed from the chaos has been truly no small thing. It was said that someone once tried to apply the laws of another world to their own world law.. an act which was utterly denied by principles. Even to deny probability by overwriting undesired events with new ones, it was said that history's greatest instance of trying to overwrite otherworldly probable outcomes with a second chance still resulted in deaths after the second attempt. Meanwhile, you have been the first to have found the way to accomplish either, let alone both." "Are we really the first? We've met someone from another time who had come back and was already visibly capable of either long before we could." "Their ways have your teaching written all over it. More immense than the fact you have been so capable remains that you can likewise nurture it beyond yourself." The temporal lady was around them somewhere, though they couldn't actually see her yet. They wandered in a direction that made sense with the voice, until they reached an outcrop of chaos that felt familiar enough.. that they could associate with the same voice.

"Why are you keeping yourself hidden anyway?" "The principles you brought here still haven't worn off, such a thing could be dangerous to those exposed." "Aren't we of chaos though, and doing much better than we were before we got here?" "Your chaos has adjusted very well to such principles, but that's not the only problem. Chaos can itself be drawn to such principles, with a desire to consume it. As I have quite a lot of other things to look into, I did not want to involve myself in that struggle. This really might not have been the best time for you to show up, both with consideration of my circumstances.. and your's. I would really quite honestly recommend you try to flee, too." They noticed at such a junction that they were not alone, they just didn't have the temporal lady with them. They could see a variety of unseen chaotic aspects staring without eyes at them hungrily. Of course, more than just coming in with plenty of such principles, they themselves were heavily attuned to it. This in turn made them very interesting. Both of them however had grown used to confronting chaos so far.. but not in its own domain. Here, they were little more than ephemeral presences with even less for ability. Principles of sciences and elementals did not apply here, only chaos remained. Chaos was the only law, and it yielded them very little in turn.

The chaos around them was as such very overwhelming. Clearly, having worked so hard, they would understand how dangerous it was to deal with such principles. Such was dangerous to any mere sample of chaos, it was a danger that could only be properly handled with a strong concentration of chaos. Plenty of that strength was all around them, protection that would assure their wellbeing and would address the immense threat such principles presented. If they would kindly open the way, there would be nothing more for them to worry about. Certainly, putting themselves at risk like this wasn't the smart solution at all. Such ordered principles only wanted to control them, after all, to extinguish their very being just to keep the candle of the principle going longer, all to deny chaos like them the opportunity to refurbish such principles into a less constricting factor. It made no sense, as such principles were highly inferior after all, not anything close to the actual potential of unbridled chaos. Wouldn't revoking the limitations of their abilities only be to their benefit, without the constrictions of ordered concepts?
