[ The elf on the camera is bristling, cast in the blue firelight of the Fire district. His hair is oddly bright white, as are the almost-glowing lines that trail down his chin and neck, and disappear into the collar of his armor. Over one shoulder is the absolutely massive hilt of a sword, which looks comically out of proportion with him. Fenris had finally figured his device out, but it involved a lot of making a fool of himself in front of the Kedan, which he does Not Look Pleased about.

The effect of his otherwise withering glare is somewhat undermined by the fact that he opens his mouth to speak but compulsively twitches his head to the side to stare over one shoulder for a few moments, paranoid about things lurking in the shadows. He wets his lips when he finally looks back, suspicion and unease written across his pointed features before he schools them into a sneer again.

I am not a mage-- [ he practically spits the word, what a pleasant first impression he's making here ] but even I can see that this is not the Fade. In Between, they say. Bah. What nonsense.

[ In fact while he's at it let him just stare distastefully down his nose at the thing in his hands. "Technology?" Unlikely. By its strange glow and stranger capabilities, it is totally obviously something far worse!! ] This place reeks of magic all the same. And I wonder who has suffered to make it so? Magic comes with a cost. It always comes with a cost.

Whoever did this will reap what they've sown. I should like to be as far away as I can be when that day comes.


[ooc: Please don't reply with text!! Fenris is illiterate and kinda ashamed about it, so he would just skip over text replies without saying anything in order to save face.]

The spirits and gods of the land are not here to protect you. [ And maybe he's thinking humans would leech of things like that. Wherever there is power, something to take. ] Is there nothing left of what natural beings brought forth the Earth in your realm?

Believe me, I know. They'll give you a mild winter in exchange for your mother's head, but they're not so much with the protecting as the eating. But hey, whatever makes people happy. [Dean shrugs. He's got his own rituals and his own power, none of which comes from gods, lucky him?] And I dunno what you mean by natural beings, but God made most of the things on the Earth, humanity included.

[He mutters to himself, clearly not intending the last bit to be heard.] Makes a whole bunch of humans for Heaven to use as chew toys and Heaven wonders why we hate 'em.

Natural beings - a spirit of a forest, of a river. The land has life within it. Or is the realm you come from so dead and hollow? [ he can't imagine walking through a woods and not feeling like there's vibrancy all around him. ]

Are you certain it isn't the reverse? Cruel spirits are known to be summoned by the misdeeds of the living.

[Dean rubs his face, thinking. How best to explain...] We don't exactly have that. Closest we have is probably Death, but the rest...not really. There's things that live in rivers, but they're not really spirits. Same for forests. Only spirits we have are ghosts, really, and yeah, some of them are pretty vengeful, but after 40, 50 years without a tether, it's less vengeful and more insane.

What empty lives you must live.

[ That's pretty much it. Yep. ]
