    Summary

    Something crunched on the stone behind him. Avery whipped around, hand already going for a weapon. He was met with the point of a blade at his jugular. A figure clad in golden armor studied him carefully from under the shadow of their helmet. Slowly, they tilted their head. 

    With their other hand, they lifted a finger to where their mouth should be and shushed him.

    OR

    Avery is intent to learn more about that book and its author. Unfortunately, wanting to know how to crack the cipher becomes needing to know how to care for a half-mad soldier and avoid infinite knowledge--at least, he's pretty sure that's what's happening.

    Summary

    “The-“ ouch the next cough sounded especially painful, “The crossroads.” they rasped.

    “What? The crossroads? Can you expand on that please, like specifically where and why-”

    “Oh fuck this.”

     

    Or
    Avery never finds the warning book finished—just its author, exhausted and on the brink of death. Nursing said author back to health turned out to be far more dangerous than he could have ever expected.

    Summary

    “Okay,” Avery said between breaths, “you’re officially my problem now. Congrats.”

    He lay there a moment longer, staring at the sky, then turned his head toward the unconscious gladiator. “You know, if you wake up and try to stab me, I’m gonna be real annoyed. Just saying.”

    No answer, obviously.

    Summary

    Even with his stores of near-infinite knowledge, D3rlord3 was not prepared for the sight that awaited him when he answered his front door:

    On his doorstep stood a scrappy-looking young man in a Hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts, and a beaming smile. In his hand was D3rlord3’s hastily-written book.

    The man, still smiling, tilted his head and asked, “Did you write this?”

    Summary

    “Um, how are you feeling? I tried to treat you as best I could, but I’m not a doctor, obviously. Ha, ha,” there’s an awkward pause. Avery hates awkward pauses. “Oh uh- my name is-”

    “Avery,” the knight interrupts.

    Avery blinks at him. “You, uh, you know my name? Sorry, do we know each other?” Avery hadn’t recognized him.

    The knight shifts. “...Do we- I don’t…” He takes a moment to continue, “...I know you.”

    That’s not ominous at all. Avery feels a little caught off guard, here. “Right… I don’t recognize your armor. What’s your name?”

    The knight takes a beat to respond. “I don’t… I can’t remember what it is.”

    Avery raises an eyebrow - well, the slime above his left eye. “You remember my name, but not your own?”

    “...Yes.”

    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

    After the information overloads his brain, D3rlord3 can’t remember anything. Except for Avery.

    Avery just wanted to get away from the city server for a bit. He finds a guy passed out in a mine he didn’t make.
