Next time try breathing exercises with her and grounding techniques. She needs to be present in her own body, feet on the ground, air in the lungs, centered. It's not a cure but it can help when overwhelmed.
I was never out of control like that because I was trained from a younger age than her, but if I had my abilities in the Pit, I would have gone insane.
[ So for her, how could she do anything other than lose it on the island? ]

It will, until she learns how to use them. It won't be as bad around here, she won't have to worry about the psychic imprint of the dead, but she's probably picking up on people's minds and memories all over the place in the castle.
He's all about learning new things and while it would make sense for him, specifically, learn to fix things after they're broken... he'd rather that they actually be able to fix this quickly and not have to learn other ways that they have to fix it.
Lucifer is very good at breaking things, even unintentionally.
Nearly boneless, he goes with the embrace.
He could sleep right down here, no problem, coiled into Istredd's warmth.
Isn't that nice? The thought of real, genuine, sleep. Not some abstract concept, but rest. They haven't much gotten that.
"Two-way," he says, because no, obviously, he'd never let something he can't control and could be used against him in his mind, but... "Less door. More for flow, controlled and fixed levels." He waves a hand, like a groggy instructor that dropped their coffee lifeline for the day. Istredd gets a strange image of a mechanical sluice gate and a mental shrug.
Lucifer's mind is like someone dumped every medium of art across an infinite surface and mixed and matched everything in order to connect Thought A to JKL back to B and mapping out incomprehensibly to imaginary numbers.
But he also is very concrete when it comes to images.
Neither of them do complete silence very well, despite needing it at times for whatever reason. Having the ability to staunch the flow quickly is important. Having the same mental mechanism adjust the flow is just saving mental energy, he thinks.

[He likes danger, what can he say?
It sure makes Istredd attractive.]
I wonder if they're more connected to the Singularity than the rest of Abraxas. We were bolstering their lands just by presence alone, though not completely. It wouldn't stick. [He taps his thumb against Istredd's hand, staring off into space, unblinking.] If they're heavily connected to the Singularity, the Summoning ritual weakens the Singularity--we've considered that before already--it drains out of their lands, and then them. They traced the illness to the rifts, right? Like a bunch of mini Summoning rituals.
The first Summoning ritual dealt the major blow to their people, it was a new strain at the Singularity. Everything else chipped away but perhaps not as strong. The rifts were another new strain. Unexpectedly pulling at that thread, and tripping their already-present weakness into a sickness.
[He hums. He is 100% just spit-balling. It's been awhile since he went on a theorizing tangent.] Our presence in their lands was feeding that strained connection. The land literally nipping at the connection we had, synergizing with it, for just a moment.

Istredd holds him close, feeling his exhaustion. It's been a struggle for them both, but he knows it's been worse for Lucifer, having something penetrate his mind so fully. His touch is soothing, the bond between them stable and steady again. He clings to it now that he has it again; it would be difficult to lose the touch of this beautiful, abstract mind on his.
"Mmm, okay, the visual helps." Telepathy is actually something that requires visuals and artistry to work properly. The mind is not what people think, in terms of this thought there or that thought there.
People don't always think clearly, in full sentences, unless they want to. They jump around between a collection of words and feelings. It's why telempathy is taught at the same time, to interpret what is seen. It's a very precise type of magic, that is why it required specialization with Stregobor. You have to love the mind to soak yourself in it. While his mentor did it because he loved the power over others, Istredd does it because he loves the details.
He strokes Lucifer's hair and then places his fingers on his temple. He dives back into his mind and Lucifer should be able to feel the way he modifies the walls with precision. He's never done this before either but since Lucifer no longer fights him when it's just them, it's much easier. He creates, abstractly, a way for the walls to open and close, more like a gate than a slammed down boundary. It's less aggressive this way, a shut door feels less final.
"Your mind," he says with a content sigh. It's lovelorn. Lucifer already knows his feelings about it, but flowing through it is as comforting as snuggling into a blanket cocoon. "That should work, we won't know fully until tested."

Yes, that's where my mind went too. [ They conspire together so well. ] They may very well die out if this continues. The dragons used to be powerful and kept those lands together, safely. Now it may be inevitable given that the Summoning is not going to slow down.
[ As they know, it's only getting worse. More Summons every few months, more people coming through. They had the most this time, he checks in as best as he can for new numbers as they progress, so they're going to keep going until there's no one left they want to Summon. Which is never. With no regard with how it is destroying the balance of this sphere. ]
They brought us here claiming they're worried about the Singularity's waning and thought it would strengthen it. But I think they're killing the land instead, pulling it apart each time.
[ Not that it's changed Istredd's mind about them staying there forever. It's not about a few of them, it's about the constancy of the spell. If they stopped Summoning tomorrow and everyone was left, it's probable they would only settle in. ]
We could possibly heal the Nether, given more time there. It wasn't permanent, but our presence could strengthen it. She gave me this dragon scale to experiment on. [ He has it in his pocket, not wanting to leave it anywhere Thorne could find, and pulls it out so show Lucifer. ]

Or staying might mean the land, accidental or otherwise, absorbs our Singularity connection entirely in order to heal ourselves. [Just in case you hadn't considered that, Mr. Losing the Singularity Connection is their last resort for Anything.
He blinks, mildly baffled, at the scale.] And how exactly is that going to help in experimenting?

It might.
[ He'll give him that. But he's skeptical. They can't control the Singularity. It'll do whatever it wants. He doubts it'll let them go any time soon, after letting them into its psychic realm and playing with a few people in particular. Istredd doesn't want to have to deal with the idea that they may have to trade the Singularity to stay there. It's possible, but yes, last resort. ]
It depends on what properties I can glean from it. I was thinking Yenna and I might be able to see what we can pick up, and from what we remember about the dragon cure. What if we can amplify the cure?

[It's fine he'll keep being that Annoying Voice in the Back of Istredd's Head when it comes to that potential.
And hey!
If it ever becomes true!
It won't be a surprise because Lucifer's been Annoying About It.] I brought back the materials for the cure but I wasn't involved with its construction. How did it operate?

Sometimes Lucifer knows what he's about and the benefit is, despite being imprisoned for most of his existence, he got a quick download from his vessels on different forms of, well, everything, and at least one of those vessels (Sam) was a Nerd.
But this... this feels good. Because for as much as Lucifer doesn't want to feel controlled, entrapped... He doesn't want to feel caged away from something that by all reason he should have access to.
Issues? Nooooooooooo.
"I'm not very interested in actually brute forcing it right now," he says. They don't exactly have the means to test it without actually forcing it and neither of them have the energy to really going at it. Especially if it... doesn't work as intended.
Oh, sure, if Istredd wants to try, Lucifer will go along with it.
But it's very adamantly clear in neon blinking lights that he Does Not Want to.

[ Istredd will ignore that voice as long as he has to. It's a good thing he has it, because he can be very mule-headed and focused on what he wants to think, so if it does happen he'll grumble but be unsurprised. But he needs the Singularity for now. It gives him a purpose, something to thrive toward, and obsess around. An illusion of being able to control or understand something in this world.
Lucifer being right would be unfortunate on a few levels, and his gloating over it annoying, but if he's right, he's right. ]
Our presence helped bring those ingredients back to life and available. From there it was understanding dragon physiology and what was actually missing from them. I don't know that I trust it as a permanent stopgap. It may be inevitable.
[ A dire way of looking at it, but a logical one. They've been fading away as a species for over a thousand years. The hatchlings might make it but they won't be as hearty. That's why continuing a study of it might help. ]

This began because of Istredd's hunger for closeness and he's been fed well from the start, but he feels good about this in-between for them. It's not him being the screw up anymore and this is something that makes them both balanced. It will be easier for them to close a gate than lift up a wall. The fact that Lucifer feels good about it helps too.
"I don't mean now, love. Our minds are in no condition. It needs time to settle."
It is a new form, it may break easily under aggression until they learn how to use it. And he means it; they are in no position. Lucifer in particular is unstable, not that Istredd wants to put too fine a note on that, considering it may make him feel like Istredd is saying it's only him that is struggling. It's only him that is weak. It's not the truth, but it could twist that way.
He holds Lucifer and tilts his head to kiss his temple, underneath the mind he loves so well. "I came so close to losing you." And his own life, and Yennefer's, and all those mages. But Lucifer is a priority.

Yeeeeeah, Lucifer would ABSOLUTELY twist it into the negative, easily, with only maybe his tired state saving it from being quite so terrible.
But thankfully Istredd's stepped on that landmine more than enough and they sidestep it entirely.
"Well, it would've been a very short time that you were without me," he says, with the sort of dark humor that he's often about, "what with you being killed not long after."

"What, you don't think we could have taken you? Such little faith." Istredd is joking, since there is no change in hell they could have. The monster and Lucifer together would've done more damage than anyone could have prepared for. He has no idea what Thorne would do with them, although it seems most likely they would have put Lucifer down.
It didn't happen, that's the important part.
"I wish we understood more of the arcana. I don't think Urianger nor I have come up with much. For the beasts to come in with assigned arcana of their own ... it's interesting." Horrifying, sure, but interesting.

[He got a flute from Aster (and something else way more valuable) but that's an odd little treasure and something that is weirdly just his, well before the whole upcoming Wintertide........ everything. It was a gift and it was His and it is still something that was just his.] It might be something, anyway.
[He thinks their fall at this point is what is actually inevitable. Anything they do really feels like it is just prolonging things but...
Maybe.
Maybe if they can just extend the life of the Nether for their own benefit...]

I think ... we should try. I'll see what Yenna and I can glean from the cure, maybe we can come up with something that's a stopgap. We might have to consult other people who were there with us, hard to say. But I really hate the idea of watching a species die out.
[ And if he and Lucifer do end up living here a long time, if they're lucky, they'll have to witness it in person. He doubts it would take more than another century or so, if the decline continues. This was a stopgap. He doesn't have a lot of faith. Some things are inevitable but they don't have to be. ]
I liked them. Probably the most of the cultures we met here so far.
[ The Fey were interesting, for certain, and probably would provide the most complete protection from the outside world if need be. But they weren't very trustworthy, it seemed a little bit like a game. The Lunae have done nothing wrong, but their conflict with Ikorr isn't great. He liked the Draconae. Simple, honestly. ]

He snorts unceremoniously at the use of 'faith', which promptly derails any response he may've had about how very obviously him and the beast would've rolled the ol' party along and no one would be hangin' on behind. And if he had somehow come out of it eventually, managed to separate himself from the monster, he would've been gone, fled into those mountains where the cold wouldn't have been his only problem.
Kyle would maybe have been sent to scout if enough time had passed and he had recovered, and only would meet the stench of death and perhaps misery whether or not Lucifer was still possessed. Lucifer would kill him, too, possessed or not, for much different reasons.
But there's no point on dwelling.
"It makes me wonder if anything Summoned from outside worlds automatically get pulled through the arcana system, if that's part of the tether, if it has nothing to do with the Summoning Ritual itself." He hums, enjoying the way his mind, in spite of its sluggish state, feels a little bit clearer, and he idly, distractedly, nips and kisses just under Istredd's chin as the thought starts to coolly coalesce before the words murmur out of him: "Do you think the remaining beasts have a Singularity connection like ours?"

That's an approach he hadn't considered. That's what makes them a good team, they are good at giving each other different ideas by talking out what they do or don't know. He makes a thoughtful 'hmmm' sound and tilts his head back so Lucifer can nip to his heart's content, running fingers through his hair.
"Yes, I do. They were in the Horizon. There's no way they could have gotten in there without a connection." He had at least one or two fights when going to his library and finding creatures there making trouble. It was a shock at first, but it makes more sense now. "But they weren't pulled in by the factions, if the vision we had was true. So how did one of us have the kind of power to do that? Or did he just tap into the Singularity's power?"
Istredd suspects the culprit is in Solvunn and he hasn't asked Wanda if they have identified the person. She probably knows who it is. They're a close group, it's possible she'd defend whoever it is.
"Maybe you're right. Maybe there are multiple ways to look at the tether." Which is annoying for him, as he is so focused on the Singularity being the best way, but he can't deny Lucifer's logic in arguing about that otherwise.

A lot of people with different specializations were involved with all that. Make sure you're checking with people from other worlds, not just your own. [Lucifer's 2-cent special.]
It'd be boring to move in and all our neighbors were dead. [A consideration for the future comes with a morbid twist.
Eh.
Better than nothing.] I'm going to go loom over Urianger's class. [Perch in the window at the time Urianger just happens to be teaching.] Enjoy your scrap paper.

He will treasure that 'maybe you're right.' It's a (little) win. He won't call out to it and even the reaction is under the tumbleweeds of rolling cloud cover in Lucifer's mind. See he's getting better at this again.
My concern is whether or not Thorne and the like can capture any creature left behind from the rifts and harvest their Singularity connection instead of ours. Which, fine, I don't care, experiment all you want on animals he's not someone that's gonna balk at a hair care product or whatever and find out things were tested on rabbits or something, but I don't know.
It should make their lives easier.
There you go Thorne, and anyone else looking! Leave the Summoned alone, you have a source over there.
Something about them having that link worries me. Unfounded, and maybe it is just a possessiveness. Just as Josselyn may as well have crowed, that was theirs. Paws off, Abraxas. "I forgot that they had been in the Horizon, but I haven't seen any of them since." What if they still have a connection but it's been corrupted because of the different method of being pulled here? Always more questions, but he feels all of these answers could have much greater dangers for the rest of them.
He's not going to question another Summoned's power. Look at Wanda. She probably could summon her kids here if she went full hardcore Scarlet Witch Prophecy Mode.

Istredd is many things, and arrogant is one of them, when he thinks he knows better. He also gets tunnel vision so one of the things he appreciates about being with Lucifer is having another point of view to bounce off of. They've theorized together for a long time, but he still can be a stickler for things surrounding the Singularity. He knows Lucifer isn't tormenting him with that 'maybe right' statement on purpose. It's appreciated.
There are dogs still in Solvunn, not the ones from your sphere. The ones from Adora's sphere. I believe one of the creatures survived in the Free Cities, I could follow up. Steve or Castiel would know. He considers and shakes his head. I don't believe any survived here ... that we know of. Which means any of the governments could get their hands on one of the rift creatures, dead or alive, and be experimenting on them.
"The ones that lived, they probably do still have that connection. I don't believe I've seen them in the Horizon since, but they could be." He's more curious about why they haven't been rounded up in that case. "We'd have to get our hands on them ourselves to get some of those answers." But Thorne doesn't have one.
"Wanda, maybe?" They both go to the well of Wanda Maximoff when they have Solvunn-based questions. It might be worth her seeing if she could catch the dogs and find out for herself. She certainly has the power to do it.

Himeka drew it and tried to do a ritual, which I did NOT TELL HER TO DO, and nearly suffocated from some kind of strange substance. I managed to get her out, but needless to say, the rune has power. Probably divine power. No one recognized it from Solvunn though that I asked.
If Soroya and Babis are both correct about what this artifact could be, we really need to find it safely.
