Mission:Power Overwhelming - Part One: What Could Be
Part One: What Could Be
Briefing
I have seen Ouroboros, far, far in the future. You would barely recognize it, covered in flames as it was. The Storm was on all sides... And then... They simply moved on. Once we were crippled, we were beneath their notice. The mighty Ouroboros and Mender Silos reduced to an irrelevancy.
But then you appeared, full of the power of the Incarnates. That is why I am back this far, back farther than the ordinary laws of time would allow. You broke the laws to send me back. You told me to call you once I arrived and give you this.
Mender Ramiel pulls out a small crystal of ice and flame.
- I wanted you to give me... a crystal of ice and flame?
Yes. In it is your memory of our first meeting together, when you came to Ouroboros and sent me here. Use the pillars here to experience it.
You will be as you were then, a mighty and terrible Incarnate, full with the fruits of the Well. I do not know how far in the future that will be... going back this far has disoriented me.
Once you are inside the memory, you will need to rescue me. Just as you did in my past.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Do not tarry, Character. We have a long road ahead of us.
Mission Objective(s)

Temporary Powers
Upon entrance of mission, all player characters and related pets are subjected to the following temporary powers:
|
Divine Core Oscillation Add Proc: +Unresistable Damage Incarnate Your experience has interpreted this power as adding unresistable damage to most of your damaging attacks. How it actually works? You have no idea. |
|
|
Limitless Radial Freeeem Self +Everything (Special) Incarnate The details of this ability are hazy, but from the perspective of this memory... you cannot even grasp the power it grants you. |
|
|
Paradox Core Eternity Self Untouchable (Special) Incarnate It is difficult to sort out the details of this ability from the memory, but apparently it grants you a period of complete invulnerability immediately after a time travel event. |
Briefing
NO! NO! Stay away! You mustn't... you are just illusions! You have no power over me!
- I'm not with them. I'm here to help.
- You... you're Character? What... the echoes, they didn't wipe you away?
- I've become a lot more powerful since I was fighting the likes of them.
- What... what do you want with me?
- You're a Mender still, right? I need you to take a message back in time.
- The future Incarnate version of yourself holds out the small crystal of ice and flame. This must be the same one Ramiel handed to you.
- Deliver this to me in the past, along with the location of the Well of the Furies.
- The Well of the Furies? The one on the isle of Praxidae? But how would that be of use...
- Not the Fountain of Zeus. Just take the Crystal and I'll tell you what you need to know.
- Mender Ramiel takes the crystal from the Future Incarnate you. The memory appears to end here.
- You're going to go back in time and do exactly as I say.

- They're just some chumps from a long time ago.
- What... what do you want with me?
- This selection loops to another branch of this conversation which is already documented.
- Snap out of it! (Slap Mender Ramiel across the face)
- You watch your future Incarnate self slap Mender Ramiel in the face, careful to control your powers so as to not cause Ramiel's head to pop off.

Debriefing
So as you can tell... despite what Mender Silos may have believed in the past, the Well is no mere myth. And it is not merely contained to this world, or even to this dimension.
Your efforts here will attract the attention of the Well in time, but by then it may be too late. I was sent here to accelerate that event. But becoming an Incarnate is a long, arduous, and never-ending process. It is not some switch that you flick off or on.
Even so, every journey begins with a first step.
