8:36 AM
Tangent takes a step towards the portal, and then another, walking up like on an invisible staircase. He stops next to the portal, turns, and motions to Risp. Risp, after hesitating for a moment, follows suit using a pair of jetboots. After going in, the first thing that Rspss Fr sees is... blue. The landscape is extremely blue. The sky, or is it a sky?, is pure, monotone blue. The ground, while being a brown, is glowing blue with energy. Once he gets over the blueness, Risp begins to see this landscape fully. The ground he is standing on is a large chunk of ordinary brown dirt, faintly luminescent with the immense energy Risp senses in this land, is bobbing gently in an imaginary breeze while otherwise seemingly suspended, gravityless, in space. There are dozens of other platforms around here, in all directions from where Risp is standing. The sky, for lack of a better word, is simply a blue glow- no clouds, no texture. The portal, behind him, is the most visible object here. Now spewing red at the edges, Risp is fully sure where it leads and is glad it is a very long-livid spell. Turning his attention back to Tangent, Rspss Fr sees that his head mage is doing an experiment. The cloaked mage is levitating his orb above his hand, and watching the energies of the place collide with the energies of his orb. Tangent turns to Risp, and starts to speak.
"There. I should keep the orb like that for a while. Now, I suppose you want to know about the chaos lands."
Risp nods. "You suppose correctly."
"Well good, because even if you said no I would have told you. Now, the chaos lands are rather special for an alternate universe. In some accident, I know not what, all the stars in it simultaneously went supernova. All the mana inside them was forced out, and held together some of the chunks from the disintegrating planets. These platforms we are standing on are some such chunks. The infinite energy released from the stars also killed those few creatures who survived the supernovas, mainly immortals and semi-immortals. The loose energies here are extremely useful for mages, if they can withstand it... Ah, the orb is done."
Tangent snaps his fingers, and his orb, now humming with blue energies, lowers into his hands. He puts the orb in his pocket and then turns to the portal.
"That energy should be useful... well, my work here is done."
Tangent leaves through the portal, closely followed by Risp, thinking over what Tangent said.


Quite wordy, but it needed to be said. Sadly, the next part will need to be wordy too.
