My lady. There has been another incursion.
Was it successful?
We think so, my lady.
So It Begins. Were you able to gather any information on who they sent.
We were able to divine some Information. We know they are located Somewhere near the Eaxadduido Kingdom or one of its neighboring Nations, and we have part of their name.
Which part of their name did you divine?
We do not know all we got was Eze~. Before we lost track of their soul. We did learn however that they are human.
Do we know anything else?
No, my lady.
Dammit that means that they successfully summoned a hero. Landon Call conclave of Lords we cannot let this issue persist.

I woke up to nothing, no sight, no hearing, no feeling, just Darkness. I scream into the void that surrounds me. It felt as if I was screaming in my own head. I need to calm down, breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out… Okay I'm calm now do I feel anything different focusing inward. I feel something no wait I see something I think that's dirt I can't see much, I can see a small Gemstone, Its blue. It looks like it's sitting on some dirt but that's all I can see. It's hard to tell, everything is so dark the gemstone sits in the center of my vision I can't look away from it or even look around. I don't know what's going on. Why is this the only thing I can see, the only thing I can even sense? I need to breathe, don't freak out, breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out…
Okay I've calmed down, focus what's going on and what can I see. wait did the amount of dirt just grow. No wait! The amount I can see grew, the gem still in the center got smaller. Okay, why can I see more, what happened? Maybe it's time based the longer I focus on the more I can see, stay calm and just focus…. Okay I think it's been long enough annnnd nothing's changed. Okay that's not it so it must be something that I did what was I doing?
Let's see I was freaking out and trying to calm myself down. Was it the calming technique? Okay, how to test that simple practice: breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out… Okay focus on what you can see. I can definitely see more now I see dirt more dirt and hey a root. Okay what does this mean I am likely in a forested area did I slip and fall in the woods? No wait, the last thing I remember was going to sleep so I couldn't have fallen.
Wait, am I in a coma! that would explain everything I'm in a coma and dreaming all of this. Okay coma coma coma coma What do I know about comas? Not much, mostly rumors. I've never heard of anyone going insane in a coma so hopefully my sanity is okay. Okay what else sometimes people can hear others in a coma okay so should focus on my hearing what do I hear………………… nothing yet………… okay this is boring and I may go Insane if just listen to nothing all the time. Okay what else, how can I prove that I'm in a coma? Comas are supposed to be similar to dreams, what do I know about dreams? The laws of physics are flexible. The laws of continuity are flexible. And you can't count in a dream, or was it you can't read numbers, or read I don't remember.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Oh well I'll try and test them all. Counting first 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,125 okay I think that's enough I can count so one point for not a dream/coma. Wait can I do math 1 X 2 is 2. That's a bit simple, maybe I should do a harder one like 125 X 36. Okay break it down 1 X 36 is 36, 2 X 36 is 72, 5 X 36 is 180. Okay now add the results 18 + 72 = 90, 36 + 9 = 45 now add the zeros and you get 4,500. I think that's right wait how would I know if it's right fuck I just invalidated my test. Okay I can't assume I got that right so the score is this is my reality now one, dream undefined. I really should have paid more attention in math class or memorized my times tables better.
Now what I could try writing and how do I do that? Should I just imagine my hand in front of my face or Viewpoint in this case and try to write. but wait what would I write on or with…. wait a minute I'm stupid there's dirt but I don't see enough to really do what I want it's a very small area that I can see, only about an inch and a half I think That's right, I just know it's not enough room for writing. How do I increase what I see; what was it again oh yeah the breathing technique breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out.. breathe in.. breathe out… okay how much area do I have now not much more barely noticeable okay is there a better way to do this or I'm going to be breathing in and breathing out forever. Time for some more testing, what to test hummm. I knowI should test duration to see how long holding my breath affects the size test one breathe in.. hold………… breathe out… any difference I can't really tell. Wait, how am I supposed to compare this to a normal length one? Oh I got it I'll just restart and decide a random number for testing let's say 5.
Testing round 2 baseline breathe in..1 breathe out.. breathe in..2 breathe out.. breathe in..3 breathe out.. breathe in..4 breathe out.. breathe in..5 breathe out.. Okay I think I have my Baseline. I'm using the root to determine how much of an increase I get. That little squiggly Thing Looks to have grown about 1/16 of an inch. I'm not quite sure but it's good enough for testing. Time to test how holding my breath affects it breathe in..1 hold… breathe out.. breathe in..2 hold… breathe out.. breathe in..3 hold…. breathe out.. breathe in..4 hold… breathe out.. breathe in..5 hold… breathe out.. Okay now let's see if there's a difference nope still looks like it's increasing by a 16th. Humm maybe I should repeat the test to ensure that there is no difference……….
Okay, I can confirm there is no difference between holding and not holding. maybe I should try isolating which part of the process causes the growth. From my previous test I know that holding my breath does not affect growth, so it would be either breathing in or breathing out. I will test breathing in first but how. Maybe I should just take a large breath? Here goes nothing breathe in………………Wait how much air can I breathe in. Am I even breathing in air? Okay I need a reset I'll just breathe out for however long I think I breathed in breathe out…………….... Okay I think I'm reset just need to check the root length and doesn't look like it grew too much okay attempt number 2. Breathe in..1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10.. I've got my breath now just to check and no growth. So now just breathe out..1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10.. Success finally growth, so breathing out increases my view range. I think that's a good term for View range. Okay that's what I'm calling this weird vision view range at least for now. Now the question is do I even need to breathe in after all there is no sensation of air moving. okay breathing out starting now Breathing in …Breathing out……. Damn it I took a breath in Okay trying again, breathe out……. Keep going… Something's wrong, things are getting fuzzy. So I need to breathe in. At least I know now that it's breathing out that expands my view range. Wait why am I not breathing automatically better yet am I even really breathing could I breathe in and out at the same time. let's see if I can do this focus on breathing in and out at the same time…….. come on I can do this same time come on… dammit subconscious kick in and do it….. Yes My view range is expanding. Okay now to just wait until it gets big enough I can write…..
Okay I now have about an 8-in circle around the crystal in the middle. That should be enough for writing at least for now. now how to actually write might as well test my first idea first. okay picture a hand within my view range. Now imagine the hand moving to the dirt and dragging a finger along to write the number one and it failed. The dirt didn't even move what now hmm. I'm picturing the wrong thing. Maybe I should picture the dirt moving, not the hand attempt number Two. Success I have moved a piece of dirt. Unfortunately it looks like I'm going to have to do this a lot because I can only move a single speck of dirt per attempt. Maybe I should try changing the image again to something that can move more with less precision, maybe something like a landslide. I'll give it a shot after all I have nothing but time. Before I get started though it is probably best to make sure that I can see enough to ensure I'm not going to mess something up. Let's see how big my view range is now.
Why did it stop growing oh I wasn't focusing on breathing damn it. Okay got to remember to never stop breathing at least until it becomes subconscious again breathing in/out…. Now that that's reset I should try and move dirt again so that I can write. A controlled Avalanche moving along in a line carving out the number one or a L depending on your interpretation. Well at least I moved more than a speck of dirt this time. Maybe I should focus more on force, kind of like picking up a heavy object. Yes that did it, l can now move the dirt in a controlled~ish manner it's surprisingly difficult to make a straight line but now I have a one or a really thin S. Now what should I write, oh I know LOL should be easy enough. And done, I can read it but I just wrote it. Maybe it's something to do with memory. I need to find something to focus on, how about that weird gem in the center of my vision. It's so tiny compared to everything else now. Hmm interesting it now looks like I can see it better wait my view range shrunk oh no no no. where did my writing go.. That Was weird when I focused on the gem. It was all I could see but now that I'm not focusing on it I can see everything again. How much can I focus on something and what all could I see.
