"Take all, leave none." - Raider Motto
The hand pulled him through, clenched about his waist, the fingers grasping like steel to hold on to him. It was a new sensation, being pulled physically through folded space, like unexpectedly falling into a pond, some newfround profundity that he couldn't believe existed.
But there it was in front of him; with no warp or foldcraft he was pulled through space itself, from planet to planet, leaving his planet of Alphanas behind and being pulled through the void into the planet Krist, as if a magnet were pulling three destinies to the same central point, their wyrds intertwined in a way that could not be described.
It was like water, water incarnate, not just regular water, but the elemental essence of the water itself - he could see the ripples undulating about him as space and time was pulled from him. More than the speed of light, it was as if he were ripped from one place to exactly another without his consent.
The shock darkened his eyes for a few moments, his mind reeling due to what coiuld be extreme jet lag if it could be called something like that.
Sunlight, oh sunlight, like he had never seen, the beams penetrating his eyes and sending him falling back into a swoon, his eyes rolling back into his head, the world spinnin around him like a top, his senses failing to understand what was going on inside of him, the pain, betrayal...and a light he did not understand.
Falling backwards through the hole, Blue fell in Xerath's hands.
