One Felix away from home. One Felix here.
The immortality is powerful, but ultimately not perfect, and there was no way to account for inter-dimensional travel. Felix was captured in some extremely bizarre phenomena in the middle of the Bermuda Conflux and snatched to another world. As a result the immortality spring count him as "disconnected" and created a second Felix as usual, but also warned that it was a disconnection, not a true death. And a piece of the dreamshard was missing too at same time, no way a coincidence. And with a odd stroke of inspiration, Fenris decides to meditate holding the dreamshard.
It takes two weeks until they figure out that the dreamshard wanted to be used again, to have new dreamshapers, and another week after that to unlock some of it's power, to see that other Felix in another world, an Earth unlike their own, but an Earth nonetheless.
Fenris meditates with the dreamshard, unraveling it's secrets and desires and, after nearly two months he... strikes a deal of sorts. Three volunteers become dreamshapers. Three more if the plan is a success.
Then there is the other end of the bargain.
Fenris couldn't find a way to retrieve the other Felix back, it might truly be beyond the dreamshard power.
But Fenris thinks of an alternate solution, go to that Felix, be there for him, the immortality spring will mean a Fenris here to live his life, knowing that in the multiverse there is another Fenris keeping company to the second Felix. To patch the fucking flaw in reality that allows any version of his brother to experience even a second of misery.
That idea turns out to be rather controversial.
Two months and one day after the Bermuda incident, they have come up with yet another alternative. Fenris himself doesn't need to go alone.
So, after two months and two days there are twelve immortal skymages flying towards the Shattered Skies, the epicenter of the Bermuda Conflux weirdness and the place where one Felix disappeared.
The other Felix is flying right beside him looking concerned. If this plan works, it means... two Felixes in the same universe. A great boom for that universe, in Fenris opinion.
Their grandfather and sister are also there, they have been told everything and aren't going to come in this trip, but want a farewell of sorts. But they keep a large distant, too far to shout, too far to hear Maira crying, she still doesn't understand everything, but understand that these Fenris and Felix won't see her for a really long time. So both grandfather and granddaughter insisted on coming to watch.
They get in the general area where Felix was snatched away and Fenris takes out the piece dreamshard they brought.
The other nine that are meant to do this one-way journey reach out and hold it. They wait.
They don't have to wait for very long, the portals flare with tendrils of energy and they are snatched away...
...and now they are flying above a town, Fenris actually lets go of the dreamshard, but of course he chained it to his hand, so it doesn't fall.
There are only five of them, Fenris, Felix, Kato, Vera and Vii. This isn't a sign that the plan worked correctly.
Well, does this at least look like the correct place?
