Choosing a Side: The New Plane

Ravnica Underground

    Perashim panted as he ran through the not so secret streets of the Dimir guild. What had he been thinking to come her to meet a client when it was obviously a trap? Geez how could he have been so stupid! Over the past few months, each guild had been trying to "persuade" him to join their cause, but he just wasn't ready yet. However, all the guild recruiters do not grasp the concept of NO at all. They all must really want him badly then. He thought to himself as he raced out into the public streets, catching the attention of a Boros patrol. It just never ended. The Boros wanted him because he had assisted them in upholding some of their laws before and was on good terms with angels, the Dimir wanted him because he was an excellent assassin and head of a small group who specialized in that trade, the Orzhov Syndicate wanted him because he was a master at necromancy and getting what he wanted, and the Izzit pursued him because while he was a necromancer, he was mainly a master wizard who knew a variety of spells and secrets long forgotten..  Perashim ducked into a nearby alley and waited silently for the Boros patrol to pass by, turning invisible just to be safe. After they passed by, he breathed a sigh of relief and opened a parcel that he had swiped from the Dimir rogue before the whole chase began. It contained information about a gate that lead to a new plane of existence. However, none had explored it yet so it would be the perfect place for him to get away for a while. He drew up his black hood over his face and began to recite a plane shift spell while his loyal floating skull familiar kept an eye out. The air turned dark around him, as the day seeme to brighten a bit. This was often one of the effects of him casting spells, it always seemed to have something to do with light and dark. A couple seconds later, a magic shockwave rocked the foundations of the houses in the alley, and the planeswalker was gone.

Gate to The Plane

    Perashim sighed as he arrived near the gate. The teleporting had been a little bumpy, but nothing he couldn't handle. He paused and looked at the portal, taking in its odd pink shape- and whirled around to block the blade of a Dimir assassin with his favorite dagger.

"Not bad, for a split second there i thought you might actually be competent." Perashim taunted, stepping closer and hooking his dagger's hilt into his opponent's shortsword so that he could not disengage.

  "The Dimir do not appreciate being refused." The assassin snarled back.

Perashim smiled,"Get in line dumbass, i've got quite a few guilds that i've talked to who also do not like being refused. Pretty much everyone they have sent after me has not even lasted a day thanks to you guys. So why are you just now coming after me?" He asked.

The assassin frowned, not responding.

"Fair enough." Perashim said, momentarily releasing his opponent's blade to bring up another dagger and plunge it into his adversaries heart.

"Amateur." Perashim muttered as he wiped his blade on the assassin's clothes. He turned and did another take on the portal's structure. It was odd for a portal, swirling outward instead of inward, and it seemed to have a...lighter edge to it. However, Perashim knew that it wouldn't take long for another one of the guilds to send someone after him, so he had no choice. He took a deep breathe, and stepped in....

  The feeling of passing through a gate to another plane would have been intense for anyone non planeswalker, but to Perashim, it was simply like flying on the back of a dragon who did not like hitchhikers. After a few minutes of simply seeing bright pink, Perashim began to make out details, the shape of a tree, a rock there, until-

BAM!

Perashim slammed into the tree he had seen. He got up, rubbing his head and turning toward the portal to make sure that no one had followed him. Then he smiled and took in his surroundings. He was obviously in a forest, and a dense one at that. It also seemed to have unusual plant life growing through it, flowers and bushes that he hadn't seen before. The gate made a spluttering sound, which made Perashim on edge, Thats either someone else coming through, or its about to close, he thought, quickly running away from it. Regardless, he wasn't going to be around to see what happened. If the gate closed it was no problem, he could just simply make another in a month. Perashim smiled when he thought of all the free time he would get without any troublesome guilds getting in the way. Then he remembered the reason why he didn't choose any of the guilds at first. It had to do with a choice he had to make, a choice that he would be dwelling on for his time here...

Canterlot Castle

Celestia and Luna looked up from the map they were staring at, then to each other.

"Did you just feel that?" Luna asked. Celestia nodded, then replied,

"Yes, and its coming from the Everfree. As usual, but whatever it is, its not something that i have ever felt before. I had better check it out."

Luna shook her head,"No Tia, its almost nighttime. You need to get your rest, while I check it out alright?"

Celestia thought about it, then nodded,"Alright Luna, but if you get into trouble, don't hesitate to send me a message. I'll be over there as quickly as the sun shines."

Luna grinned,"You got it." Then took off.
