(https://youtu.be/TCQu4shQ-20?si=CyW27vcE4p8E6WK-) Just under a week of travel to reach the 4th layer of the Astral Highway System was pretty good time in Nar's book. Could you get to the 4th layer fast? Hell yeah. You could get there in a day or two if you knew what you were doing, what to look for, and how to avoid dying along the way. Hell, Nar could probably have done that, if it wasn't for his objective. He was here to look for Amy, and there's no telling what layer she might have ended ...

Day two of Nar's expedition into the Astral Plane. At least, that's what his phone is telling him. With how weird the AHS is, Nar feels like he's already been in here for a week. That's exactly the reason why one of the pieces of equipment the E.S.E.E required for adventurers traveling in the AHS was a way to tell the date/time outside the AHS. Taking care of your needs is important in the AHS, even if physically, you never feel them. So having a way to set a schedule for rest was important. Oth...

In the living room of their house, the members of Attack on Mango sit in a circle. For most people, this wouldn't be much different from a normal night, but when Attack on Mango was sitting in a circle, that could only mean one thing. It was a band meeting. For once, Nar was the one to call a band meeting. The others were thoroughly confused, as this was unheard of for the band. Nar usually didn't care enough about band stuff to call an official meeting. He usually just brought his concerns up ...

Fall, 2015, Ponyville High School. (https://youtu.be/kQ1IuVQ81KU?si=fN3DfnLrnPMMyX25) Inside an unused shed just beyond Ponyville High's Softball field, a group of 6 students sit around a rickety, old, wooden table. On the front of the shed, there's a small, hand-made banner which reads 'Adventure Club'. Inside, a box fan works overtime to keep the occupants from dying of heat stroke. On the back wall, there's a map of Ponyville, and the surrounding area, with multiple locations on it mark...

Fall, 2018, Vanhoover. It's a cool, Saturday night in Vanhoover. A group of 8 young adults enter a small skating rink just after the sun has gone down. The group consists of Asuka, Juno, Nar, and his group of friends from the Northern Adventurer's League. Usually, Nar didn't spend much time with the Adventurer's League, and his Band together, but tonight was a special occasion. It was Nar, and his girlfriend Amy's 2 year anniversary, but they still weren't super serious about their relations...

'Ah, shit. How long was I out? My everything is KILLING me. I can only see red in my right eye. Places on my body feel warm, wet, and kinda sticky. Must have taken a bad tumble. Wait. Is that a car? Shit! The race!' Ever since Nar fell from the railing a few minutes ago, the race seems to have come to a halt. Save for Steeltrap that is. When he realized that Nar would not be coming out of the trees he fell into, something inside him snapped. He roared his rage into the trees for some time befor...

With each second of this race that's gone by, Nar has slowly become more, and more comfortable in his place at the front of the pack. Ever since Ruby and Sapphire had their crash earlier it's seemed like everyone else was keen on being far less reckless in their racing. At first, Nar was pacing himself, saving his energy until the last stretch, where he could pull ahead by a mile, and win the race. However, with his nerves calming, and excitement rising, the habits of his casual skates around th...

(Content Warning: Body Horror) A lone voice screams it's rage into a ceaseless, and uncaring void. A man thrashes against his restraints, but they only tighten in response. Visions flash into Nar's mind. Visions of a life he could have had. A life of joy, and happiness. A life with his beloved cousin, and best friend. A life he threw away.

The end of Nar's fall is met with hard, cold concrete. He wastes no time in pushing himself back to his feet. It takes him a moment to orient himself in his new surroundings. He's in a hallway, similar to the one he'd just come from, only this one had a concrete floor. The only lights for the hallway were a dim red, which bathed the hallway, and the debris inside in a maroon light. It gave the hallway the appearance of being coated in dried blood. Not only that, but there was no end in sight on...

How long has it been since they went back into the AHS? Nar can't tell anymore. What little rest he, and the group have been able to get is always short lived. Their pursuer never seems to need any sort of rest, and he's relentless in his chase. While Maddy could travel through the AHS without any need for rest, or sustenance, the same could not be said for the other two. It put them at a severe disadvantage. The only good news so far was that the traps their pursuer had put out were getting...

It's been over a week since Nar and Ruby had first arrived at the Mount Lunae Wilderness Resort. The shock of seeing Asuka, but 20 years older still hadn't quite dissipated yet, but the two were starting to get used to it. Turns out, Asuka here is some sort of 'Keeper' who helps people with the help of some sort of fae. Because of this, the resort is no stranger to weirdness. The first time Nar saw Asuka's 'other self', Maddy, he nearly had a heart attack. So far, most of the interactions Nar ...
