Kaitlyn: As she laid asleep in the golden streaked bed in the Solar Kingdom, a nightmare, or vision, shrouded he remind. The world was shifted blue, and every time she looked away from something, that thing would change or disappear. Except for one thing. The being from the earlier vision stood before her, their 3 eyes burning with hatred built up on the ashes of the depressed. "What are you.. What do you want from me??" She screamed, but the figure just...stood there, unwavered by Kaitlyn's remarks. Her voice echoed through the world, but yet the figure simply watched, unfazed.
???: The begin stood there simply, and stared. It raised it's right arm, holding her hand out towards Kaitlyn, and spoke; "I am the eye who hates, the end of everything you love, and the Death Undone. I am the goddess who kills, the spark that sets worlds on fire, and the queen of the void. I am not a god or deity itself; I am you entirely of hate and depression." The world suddenly started to burn around them.
Kaitlyn: Her life flashed before her eyes a thousand times over. Flames scorched the shifting wastes of reality, burning what cannot be burned, and melting what cannot be melted. Suddenly, she flashed awake, breathing helplessly as the nightmare came to an end.
Her body forced upward, panting and breathing heavily. She looked around, Maverick and Viktor were still asleep. As she got up, and looked around, she thought about what the being said. 'Death undone', 'queen of the void', 'the eye who hates'. She knew not what these meant, but she knew they could not be good. She walked around, venturing and traversing the halls of the solar castle, until she saw him. Th
Archangel: As he sharpened his blade with a rock covered in runes, he looked up at her. "Awake so soon?"
Kaitlyn: "I had..a nightmare.." She slowly walked over to him.
Archangel: He tossed the rock aside, and sheathed his sword. "Nightmares are not always nightmares. Sometimes, it is a being reaching out to you. Trust me, you learn the hard way."
Kaitlyn: "I saw this being..pitch black, 3 eyes, and a weird white pencil looking outline. They were full of hate, yet they were depressed and sad."
Archangel: "I'll talk to the Librarian, but in the meantime, I do need to talk to you about something." He approached her slowly.
Kaitlyn: "What is it?"
Archangel: "Last night, when you went to bed, the temporal fractures suddenly stopped. It used to happen once every thirty minutes, but now, it has reached 0."
Kaitlyn: She began to think about what was happening. Could it be the being she saw, or something else entirely? "Is the convoy ready? We need to leave immediately."
Archangel: "Yes. 17 solar starsails and 180 men."
Kaitlyn: "Great, I'll go wake the others." She headed back to the bedroom they all slept in, and awakened Maverick and Viktor.
Maverick: "Ugh…what now?" He groaned while he got up, still tired. Viktor got up surprisingly fast, as if he never slept.
Kaitlyn: "We're leaving." She led Maverick and Viktor to the hangar, as solar knights boarded ships, their armor bronze and silver with streaks of golden fire. As they got on a larger starsail, with 20 other knights on it, the Archangel walked up to them before they took off.
Archangel: "Kaitlyn, before you leave, take this." He handed her a golden glowing gemstone on a golden necklace. "It may just save your life."
Kaitlyn: "Thank you,"
Maverick: "Alright let's go!" As he gave out the order, the convoy set off and began to make its way towards the location of the Ethereal Palace.
Kaitlyn: She leaned on the side rail of the starsail, looking into the vastness of space, holding the necklace in her hand. As the convoy took off, she heard the shouts of knights and exclamations. She looked out into the distance and spotted a..reindeer? Its fur was grayish brown and it bore glowing gold antlers with necklaces, jewelry, and dreamcatchers hanging off of it. As the reindeer galloped with them, the stars around them began to move with them, with streaks of light.
Maverick: She walked up beside Kaitlyn, leaning against the rail with her. "You know, if this all goes well, what is next?"
Kaitlyn: "I.." She wondered, what really was next? "I don't know. Maybe we can finally liberate this universe from the parasite and end the cycle, or maybe we can see what is truly inside of the Tempest Eye."
Maverick: "I've been having doubts recently. The parasite controls gods and deities, who are we to try to stop it? I just don't see a way we can win this."
Kaitlyn: "We have to have hope, if there is any. Maybe once we meet the Unnamed deity, can we win this."
Maverick: "What if he's not real and it's just a hoax?"
Kaitlyn: "Lets hope he is, for our sake."
Maverick: "You know, there's something I've been wanting to ask you. Will you-" He was interrupted by the shouting of men and screams as the convoy suddenly jerked to the left, turning away from something. As he and Kaitlyn turned to see what it was, it became clear right away.
A being stood in the abyss of space. Pitch black, 3 eyes of hate, and a white chalk outline; the same being Kaitlyn saw in her nightmare.
???: The being let out a fury of black energy, incinerating several starsails and their men. The being pointed at Kaitlyn and spoke to her, "You, smolder!" Flames began to burst on the starsails, scorching the knights in a frenzy of hate.
Viktor: He grabbed the steering wheel of the starsail, and jerked it to the right, leading it and a few other ships away from the being. "We need to get out of here!"
???: "Burn..!" The being shot out a concentrated blast of liquid fire at the larger starsail Kaitlyn, Viktor, and Maverick stood on, blasting it backwards.
Kaitlyn: The starsail was blown off course, suddenly landing on a building floating in the vastness of space, with purple cosmic-designed marble floors. The knights on the sail were dead, engulfed by flames. Suddenly, the whole starsail itself vanished in black smoke. She turned around to see the convoy going down in flames with the mysterious being having collapsed into a black hole before vanishing. She turned back and looked up, and saw a being standing before her. It bears a black fedora and trenchcoat, with a dark gray suit and its face covered by shadows. The being spoke down to her, and reached his hand out to her.
Nameless: "Hello, Kaitlyn."
Kaitlyn: "Who…who are you..?"
Nameless: "You know me. The Unnamed deity, Uzbörath, the all-seeing eye, but I personally prefer the Nameless Watcher."
Kaitlyn: "If you're the Unnamed deity, then this must be.."
Nameless: "The Ethereal Palace, the house of civilization and godhood. All deities to ever exist came from here."
Kaitlyn: She got up, as did Viktor and Maverick. "W-who..?"
Nameless: "The 3 godheads. Come inside, I'll show you around." he led the 3 inside. The walls were galaxy colored shining walls of amethyst and alexandrite. Beings roamed the halls. Some were purple ghosts, while some looked to be made of galaxies. "Before a being can evolve to godhood, a deity created, or a civilization rise, it first must be approved by I. Except for him."
Viktor: "Who..?"
Nameless: "I must not speak his name. It was a mere mortal human, and a million cycles ago, he forced his way through the Palace, and drained its power. Ever since, I've been rebuilding it." He pushed open 2 marble doors, entering a room full of pillars and a long table covered in sigils and runes. He walked inside the room as the sigils rose, with symbols that represented structures and foundations of arcane sorcery and spacetime.
Kaitlyn: "What is this place.." She looked around the room, studying the arts profound upon her.
Nameless: "The very foundation of the universe. This room has access to every timeline, every world, everywhere in existence. From here I can control the balance from afar."
Kaitlyn: "We came here because-"
Nameless: "You thought I could stop the cosmic parasite that is eating our universe. I know. It's not so simple, kid."
Kaitlyn: "You can control a fundamental part of the universe! You can stop him!"
Nameless: "You don't get. The parasite- the Sculptor himself transcends our universe and all of us put together. The only being I saw stand up to him was Xavier Marytris but- shit."
Kaitlyn: "What? Why did you- was that?"
Nameless: "Him.. the one whose name must not be said.."
Xavier: He sat meditating in a palace, clearly hyper advanced with walls of titanium with cyan energy everywhere. The room was dark with shadows, and he floated in the very center. He had long white hair, with a suit of advanced silver armor covered in diamond crystals, with 2 large titanium wings of light blue fire. A mask covered his mouth, resembling that of an oni, and a scar across his right eye. His eyes were shut, then flashed open. "Nameless.." He fell down to the ground, landing on one knee and his right hand on the floor with his other hand in the hair. He stood up and grabbed a staff, then crushed it in half. "You found the prodigy, and now I am coming." He suddenly flashed upwards, blowing a hole in the ceiling, at a speed incomprehensible to describe.
Nameless: "You need to leave now, go!" He handed her a book, with a shining bronze cover, and about 3 inches thick.
Kaitlyn: "Wait but-" Before she could finish, the Nameless Watcher opened a cosmic portal and pushed them through. As she fell through a glowing golden tunnel, she saw it. Xavier crashed through the temple, striking the Nameless Watcher. She fell through the tunnel, and landed in a dark realm. It was a dark pristine castle, with walls of polished obsidian. Statues were everywhere, of black knights. The being she saw in her nightmare stood before her; the Void Queen.
