[Late Week 2]

... Right. I have a report from Interfacing the big lake that the Glatisant seems to have come from. And as a warning, do not attempt that unless you can handle a lot of pain. I was unable to speak for about a day and a half afterwards, once I woke up from being unconscious.

The lake formed of very large pillars of energy. Each pillar has its own unique information, and there's a spray of stray dreams at its base. The pillars are drilling down into a land mass of light, one that moves with more colors than the pillars, but much more slowly.

Additionally, the pillars are conscious. Somehow. The land mass isn't, in case you were wondering.

Now as soon as I find a portal back to Liminal Space, I think I'm going to take a nap. Because that was extremely unpleasant, even by my standards.

[Pillars of energy is something of a ping for Bayek.]

Can the pillars be reached somehow? Was the pain due to an active defense?

Tell me, when you do. If we can get to the pillars, we might be able to get more information with less injury.

[There's a bit of a pause.]

My... archetype is healing. If I can assist you somehow, I will.

I would like to hear them when you have rested.

If you change your mind, call for me. I am Bayek.

[Another pause.]

Were any of the pillars golden?

In my own home, there were hidden places... tombs, I believe, with strange construction and in the center of each, a platform. If it was activated with silica crystals, it would radiate a pillar of golden light, hang translucent images of the same color in the air, and speak to me in a language I have no understanding of.

These are probably not the same, but the similarity makes me wonder if those who came before also traveled among worlds.

[There's something like a mental shrug at the end of that. Bayek thinks about the strange places a lot, and what they could mean.]

I am not able. How is it done? I have learned other things in this place that I would not have thought possible, so I may be able to learn to share memories as well. An answer to your offer will have to wait until I can share, I am afraid.

[Bayek will keep the offer in mind, but he will check in with the other Assassins before deciding to share those memories to just anyone. They may well be connected very closely to the use of that cursed orb and that’s information he doesn’t want anyone else to have.]

I will ask others. Someone surely knows how to learn the skill.

[There's agreement in his tone.]

I had thought this a realm of gods when I first arrived. I am still not entirely sure it is not so.

The one I spoke to denied being a god, but also did not have a reasonable explanation that was not being a god, so…

[Bayek trails off with a mental shrug.] Who am I to argue?

Didn't someone try interfacing a smaller pool, and told us that was a bad idea?

Good work, though.
